Description John Reiser 2007-10-18 00:34:22 UTC 
Description of problem: Pungi is clumsy about state from run-to-run.  In
particular, pungi aborts if destination files to be created already exsit. 
However, the abort happens after much work, and not near the beginning of a run.
 The documentation is also unclear about which specific files suffer this fate.
 The word 'empty' [as in, "the destination directory must be empty"] does not
appear in the manual page.  Instead, pungi should just believe the filesystem
permissions; or, check each file at the beginning of the run so as not to waste
so much effort before giving up.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pungi-1.1.5-1.fc8



How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run pungi successfully.
2. re-run the same pungi command, without doing anything else.
3.
  
Actual results: OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/data/Fedora8/8/i386/iso'



Expected results: no complaint as long as file creation succeeds by the usual
rules of Linux and the filesystem permission bits.
