Over the weekend, I reviewed numerous sources of documentation for the subsystems in Fedora (past and present) that are responsible for building distributions. Some systems administrators may prefer to dynamically build their server distributions based on a script, the advantage being that the servers can be dynamically set IP addresses and PXE-network-enabled boot ISOs be spun, accessing kickstart files on a server. However, the barrier for entry on these technologies is that the documentation is gappy, and spotty at best. Please post any suggestions you have to my script, bitbuild.sh. Currently, the kickstart file package manifest it builds is broken; however, I would like to make it so it can spin EPEL and Fedora ISOs successfully. I built this out on a Fedora 20 VPS, and next chance I get, I will be building kickstart files for each dist I wish to target -- and integrate functional dist-stubs into the existing codebase. This system will also dynamically choose code repositories - however, some derivations of the standard URL form exist. I intend on building out a repo list for all dists I intend to target. When EPEL and Fedora are covered, I will move onto complete tools for the other free Enterprise distributions. So methods will exist in this code for detecting on which dist of Linux this tool is operating. Please give me a star or something on the repo and follow, any suggestions appreciated. The tool is currently based on Pungi, Kickstart, and Anaconda.
