Livemedia Creator

Summary

livemedia-creator is a tool that is part of lorax, it has the ability to make livecd's, raw disk images, and to do pxe2live. We plan to use it to make pxe2live for Atomic, the LiveCD's and ARM disk images in fedora.

Owner

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 24
  • Last updated: 2015-10-26
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

We will be adding to koji the the ability to run livemedia-creator in a chroot. we will replace the long legacy tools used to make LiveCD's and ARM disk images, as well as as the ability to deliver pxe2live for atomic. livecd-creator and applaince-creator only support python2 and yum, they have not seen any significant development in years and are increasingly crufy. using livemedia-creator allows us to use dnf to create the media via anaconda and to ensure that the media is made the same way we make an installed system, reducing the code paths and differences in how a system look sbased on which tool made it.

Benefit to Fedora

In addition to enabling the creation of pxe2live we will be able to make LiveCD's and ARM disk images in a much better way.
