I build the DVD with all packages in the base, install with that, set the cache, build the rest w/ internet access. Then I tar up the cache, rebuild the DVD w/ only the used packages and install that. I copy the base and my tar onto where I want to create the repo. Then I build the rest w/ that repo enabled and the rest enabled. It's a two step, tedious process to produce the non-internet version. I'm sure there are better ways to do it :-) I wish I had time. > > Otherwise currently based on responses on this thread, I am going for > directly interfacing pack-stack with Anaconda (need to do more research on > exact nuts & bolts of it). > > On 18 June 2015 at 22:44, Tom Buskey <tom(a)buskey.name&gt; wrote: > >> >> >> On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 11:42 AM, Mohammed Arafa < >> mohammed.arafa(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: >> >>> I am no programmer but packstack has taken 2 years or more to get where >>> it is today by a team of developers (well definitely more than one :) ).
