Amahi 7 status and DNS/DHCP server change plans
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 4:04 am
Here is a quick update and some ideas that we have discussed in the social media apps:
* due to logistical needs, the 64 version of the RPMs has been populated in the f18 repos. we will probably be working on 64 bits for now (sorry if this causes trouble, it's a logistics issue)
* they both (32/64) are almost identical, though the 64 bit packages are slightly more up-to-date than the 32 bit versions (very minor changes)
* we have been talking about building iso releases instead of based on the full DVD
* there are some issues named, the DNS server. It sometimes gets out of sync and stops responding to local domain queries properly. no idea what's happening here yet anyone want to pick this up?
PROJECT IDEA: it would be great if you want to help to pick up the following tools and learn and document how to produce a custom iso image of Fedora 18. this would probably be done with the koji and mock tools.
having some mileage on this by learning how to spin bootable iso images in parallel will save us a lot of time for the release.
one idea for this is to do it in two parts:
1) learn to make it without amahi, like replicating the process of building the minimal install CD
2) once this is known to work, we can add the amahi packages and their deps
