> Agree. To get to know about this, who should we contact with? the
anaconda team? We can add them to the cc list for discussion.
The anaconda-devel team will be maintaining the livecd-tools package.
From what I can find in the Fedora 13 installation guide, we have the
following scenarios to consider:
'''Explicit references to livecd-tools with ''Live.ISO'''''
* ''3.2.2. Making Fedora USB Media in UNIX, Linux, and Similar Operating
Systems''
* [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-
US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/Making_USB_Media-UNIX_Linux.html
3.2.2.1.1. Making Fedora USB Media with a graphical tool]
* [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-
US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/Making_USB_Media-UNIX_Linux-
other.html 3.2.2.1.2. Making Fedora USB Media with livecd-tools]
* [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-
US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/Making_USB_Media-UNIX_Linux.html
#Making_USB_Media-UNIX_Linux-RHEL_Fedora-dd 3.2.2.1.3. Making Fedora USB
Media with dd]
* [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-
US/Fedora/13/html/Installation_Guide/Making_USB_Media.html
#Making_USB_Media-Windows 3.2.1. Making Fedora USB Media on a Windows
Operating System]
'''Implicit reference to using livecd-tools using ''boot.iso'''''
* [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html-
single/Installation_Guide/index.html#sect-New_Users-
Alternative_Boot_Methods 4.5.1. Alternative Boot Methods] - under ''USB
Pen Drive'' it references writing the ''boot.iso'' using ''livecd-iso-to-
disk''
I'd prefer not testing any use cases that are not recommended and
documented in the installation guide, or supported by the maintainer.
1. With regards to the documentation, the last section (see section 4.5.1
link above) seems like an after thought to me. It's not clear why that is
the only section that recommends using a boot.iso with livecd-iso-to-disk.
I'd prefer changing that section to simple link to using livecd-iso-to-
disk with a Live image.
2. With regards to livecd-tools support, we do need to reach out to
anaconda-devel to determine what usage scenarios they support. I'd also
like to understand how using livecd-iso-to-disk (or dd) changes the
installation experience.
With the above information, we can determine where the gaps in our current
test matrix are. In addition to test matrix changes, we may also consider
adjusting the release criteria so we can appropriately prioritize related
failures.
