Denis Arnaud
I first installed RedHat (version 5, in 1998) with Oracle 8, when that latter was delivered on Linux for the first time... on a small Pentium-based computer with 600MB of disk and 64MB of RAM, hence proving to my hierarchy that Linux was ready for professional use. I started to be involved in the Fedora building process by translating documents and package descriptions, and have become a packager in 2009.

Create Vagrant Images
- Vagrant images are built in Koji with the "CreateImage" method, which calls ImageFactory.
- That is fed by a kickstart (e.g., like https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-cloud-base-vagrant.ks), from the spin-kickstarts repository (https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git)
- An image comes out the other side, like this: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9832786
- The ImageFactory command looks like:
imagefactory --debug base_image --parameter generate_icicle false tdl-ppc64le.xml --file-parameter install_script f22-rc3-base.ks
Tools
- (third party) Review helper tool
- Fedora active user Python script (see also the corresponding Git repository)
