Description Jan Stodola 2015-10-16 08:41:39 UTC

Description of problem:

/usr/share/doc/lorax-<version>/README.product says:

Lorax now supports creation of product.img and updates.img as part of the build
process. This is implemented using the installimg command which will take the
contents of a directory and create a compressed archive from it. The x86, ppc,
ppc64le and aarch64 templates all look for /usr/share/lorax/product/ and
/usr/share/lorax/updates/ directories while creating the final install tree. If
there are files in those directories lorax will create images/product.img
and/or images/updates.img
...

From this description it's not clear whether /usr/share/lorax/product/ and /usr/share/lorax/updates/ are directories on the file system where lorax is running from, or directories in lorax installroot (the second is correct, see bug 1244330 comment 11)

Please, make it more clear.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
