Per #112, excluding group specs just does not work in Kiwi at present. For LXQt this is especially a problem because it means the image fails to compose. The exclusion of m17n* *does* work as it's a package spec, but because the exclusion of the input-methods group does not work, dnf wants to install ibus-typing-booster (part of input-methods), which requires m17n-lib, and these conflicting requirements cause it to blow up. So at least until the problem of not being able to exclude groups is resolved, we should drop these. Arguably, we should permanently stop excluding input-methods, at least. Space constraints aren't as huge of a deal these days as they used to be, on the whole; lots of folks have decent bandwidth, lots of disk space, and large USB sticks. Input methods are critical for CJK users; leaving them off the image makes it more or less useless for them, which is a significant impairment. (Unless, that is, input methods don't work properly in LXQt even if included - I haven't tested this). Signed-off-by: Adam Williamson <awilliam@redhat.com>
fedora-kiwi-descriptions
This project is used to manage the Fedora KIWI image descriptions used in composing Fedora release images.
The rawhide branch is used for Fedora Rawhide images and each release branch is used by that release.
All changes should be made via the PR workflow.
Image variants
Please look at VARIANTS for details on the available
configurations that can be built.
Image build quickstart
Set up your development environment and run the image build (substitute <image_type> and <image_profile> for the appropriate settings):
# Install kiwi
[]$ sudo dnf --assumeyes install kiwi
# Run the image build
[]$ sudo ./kiwi-build --kiwi-file=Fedora.kiwi --image-type=<image_type> --image-profile=<image_profile> --output-dir ./outdir
