revisor: how to implement these requirements?

[landrew]

Hi, I want to respin fedora according to the following reqirements:

(1) let firefox have some plugins installed by default

(2) change some settings in the adudacious by default

(3) include nvidia/ati driver from livna repo, and the customized system can choose driver automatically according to the hardware.

(4) and change default theme and fonts for gnome

(5) have mplayer and patent codecs installed by default, and chang the content of mplayer's default config file

(6) I have built my programms into some rpms , can i use createrepo to create local repo and use these rpms in revisor? how can I?


Could anybody tell me how to implement this?

thanks very much

6 yes you can its in my how toos the rest im sure there is but i dont know how but i seem to reinstall quite often so i just made a script like file that reinstalled all my extra bits which i suppose you could do all with createrepo and put on a disk to save downloading but as to do it on the installation itself i dont know but i do know that you can add repos when you install and packages it gives you that option although ive never done it

1 ,3 & 5 should be easy ( its just package selection )

6 is possible

2 & 4 will be a lot harder

do you mean that I should make the extension of firefox, e.g. downthemall, tabmix, mediaplayerconnectivity,etc. in RPMs ?


Thanks very much!

I don't think Revisor is really geared toward this type of change just yet, maybe, hopefully in the future it will work right everytime and implement a lot more features.

You can make those types of changes a few different ways.

The easiest way would probably be to use Sabayon, which should be in the repos, to generate a "user profile", or you can always do it manually.
This profile is usually in /etc in a folder named skel or .skel and it's what's used on a first login.

Then you can replace the default folder and rebuild whatever rpm owns that folder. Or make an rpm that just contains that folder then --force it in the %postinstall.

Edit - Sorry, the Nvidia and ATI autodetection thing is a little tougher, but not impossible you can probably also do that from the %postinstall by running a script that detects the card and decides which driver/rpm to install.
Fortunately those are already out there, you can google, I'm sure you'll find one for Ubuntu, just use the relevant portions and modify where needed or you can DL Sabayon the distro and go through it to find out how they handle it, since they do it so well, and they're also running Anaconda.

thankyou Dies thats brilliant thats gonna be my project now ,until i can do it, a point in the right direction makes all the difference your the best next to leigh123@linux thankyou once again
