FC6 - How to update packages on kickstart server

[Jeroen van Meeuwen]

You would share the mounted ISO over any protocol (HTTP/FTP/...)

However this would only give you the core repository.

The tool Shabazian is talking about (yesterday at the RH Summit), is 
Revisor. This tool will allow you to specify your own set or 
repositories, create custom package sets (including specific versions of 
packages), and create CD, DVD and Live Media. As a side effect, it'll 
also have a build tree or unified ISO which you can then use.

The Revisor developers (Jonathan Steffan and myself) have submitted 
Revisor for review in the Fedora Repository, and it'll only work for 
F7+, but nonetheless should be able to create valid buildtrees for FC6+.

A kickstart file (which it appears you already have), can be used to 
specify the package manifest, so you don't need to resolve dependencies 
over all 7000+ packages ;-)

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
