Clean Up the Pidora Kickstart File

As of Nov. 18 / 2013, this page has been updated for the project description, its details, and project news.

Project Description

The kickstart file allows Pidora to be installed with the pre-setup configuration, unattended. The goal of this project is to prevent the unnecessary packages from being installed, which contributes the small storage maximization.

Goals by Release

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:

  • 0.1 - Create a sub-file to separate configurations and a list of packages. Identify package dependencies listed in the recent version of a kickstart file and remove unnecessary packages from the kickstart file. Create an automation script to separate packages and their dependencies.
  • 0.2 - Remove/add package dependencies in a pkg.list sub file based on other packages' update. Create/update an automation script, which will allows me to easily tell packages.
  • 0.3 - Finalize a kickstart file and sub-file.
