Instructions on rebuilding the CentOS 5 installer?
Are there any docs on how to rebuild the CentOS 5 installer?
I've been doing this for CentOS 4 based on the script at
<http://centos.hughesjr.com/testing/build.sh.txt> - but I now need to do
something similar with CentOS 5 ...
Thanks
James Pearson

revisor should do the right thing, mostly.
Thanks - but what is revisor? - OK, I can probably google for it, but if
you have any pointers, that would be most useful.
Thanks

First hit on google
OK - thanks ...
Is this what the CentOS team use to rebuild the installer?
Having a very quick look at the docs, it appears to be far much more
than I need ... for CentOS 4, I use a short script to run genhdlist
(twice), pkgorder and buildinstall (pulled from the build.sh.txt above)
- is there a similar script for CentOS 5 available somewhere?
Thanks

There is no script really, since its all yum repo's on the install
media, its just a case of making sure your repo's are complete, the
packages dep loop close, and running buildinstall once.
In most cases, I highly recommend you dont even do the buildinstall
process. just use what is shipped with the centos media, just adapt
repo's to taste.
Jeroen offered to have revisor do something like this, where it would
recompose the repo tree's and rebuild install media without rerunning
buildinstall for CentOS. Not sure if he has had the time to make that
happen as yet or not.

Out of interest, how do the CentOS team rebuild the installer?

How do I make sure the 'packages dep loop close' - does that mean
running pkgorder?

Yes, I agree, but there are times (with CentOS 4) that I have needed to
rebuild the installer for my own needs - and I would like to make sure I
can do this with CentOS 5 when required.

Just for fun (yeah, it was a real party) a few months ago I rebuild the
CentOS CD using pungi.* It took me about an hour, and gave me a
bootable CentOS cd.* My recommendation, only use the older methods if
you really have to hack the installer, or anaconda.

your email client looks to be broken, or you should readup on howto
format posts to a mailing list!
