Martin:

I've done a back2back comparison between revisor and pungi, given the
same kickstart file. Pungi creates media which has the needed
openssl.i386 file in it's Packages directory, while revisor creates one
that excludes the needed file. Think you found a bug in revisor, I feel
that this problem will never get corrected in F9.

Going forward, if I recall you were using revisor mainly to embed the
kickstart file into the media, given that we run the newly created iso
though "mkslim" anyway,(which can add any files to the iso you want)
perhaps we might look at using pungi to spin the release in place of
revisor. As a bonus pungi runs a whole pile faster that revisor in
creating the installation media.

Just my thoughts,

Jerry
