Bug 649815

i created 2 symlinks on that appear to solve the problem.

ln -s /usr/lib64/anaconda/ /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime
ln -s /usr/lib/revisor/scripts/F12-buildinstall /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall

i'm unsure if this solves things for the GUI, as i never use it.

Description of problem:
Just that revisor doesn't start

64 Bit Fedora 14 Revisor

Same issue.

Comment 2 Workaround Allows the Revisor Gui to load for me

ln -s /usr/lib64/anaconda/ /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime
ln -s /usr/lib/revisor/scripts/F12-buildinstall

Confirmed work-around Fix

Ok it's fine, thx !

I did the same steps as in comment 1, and it started to work, but when I get to the window for setting network and press forward button, I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/revisor/modgui/lm_network.py", line 471, in button_forward_clicked

AttributeError: 'F8_Network' object has no attribute 'add'

in my f14 
"
ln -s /usr/lib64/anaconda/ /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime
ln -s /usr/lib/revisor/scripts/F12-buildinstall   /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall
"
it is useful, but u should do
rm /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime ; mkdir /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime
firstly

Ok, I did that. As I said in comment 5, network configuration doesn't work, so I skipped that step.

Now the problem is that Revisor doesn't get to the last step, as it stopped working in the the window called "Building Your Media", at the "Configure System" stage. It stays there indefinitely.

Any ideas?

There are various parts of revisor that look for anaconda-runtime

 - it checks for the directory, which you can 'fake' with just about anything
 - it seems to various tools from that dir, however anaconda has moved those to either /usr/libexec/anaconda or to /usr/lib/anaconda, revisor should revise its libexec paths to match...
 - it want to see an anaconda-runtime rpm in the target build -- there is no such rpm for recent Fedoras

Fixed.

Fixed, though in an ugly fashion (first check legacy, then check lib64, then check lib, then check libexec).

Fixed, including busybox-anaconda and rhpl.

Why this bug is close?

where is the fix?
is there any working version for rhel-6?
thanks.

anyway still in upstream there is an extra ")":
-------------------
File "/usr/sbin/revisor", line 42
    anaconda_path = "/usr/lib/anaconda/")

and even if i fix that i've got this error:

To start revisor on my fedora 14 I make the 2 ln -s patch and I was able to start the application but I had this output in cli mode:

No Package Matching anaconda-runtime. Questo è un pacchetto necessario. 

--------
anaconda-14.22-1.fc14.i686 is installed and up to date,
I have nothing which point to anaconda-runtime,
I tried to uninstall anaconda-14.22-1.fc14.i686 and installed anaconda for fedora 13 but the result was the same error.
I think in fedora 14 there is only anaconda package and not anaconda-runtime, where I can tell this to revisor ?
Suggestions ??
thanks

Comment 10 indicates that these issues were fixed, but I am yet to receive an update after two months. There doesn't seem to be one in updates-testing either. What is the actual status here?

Checking in.  This bug is still here even in late April as F15 is approaching release.  I'm running into this on Fedora 14 x86_64 and i686.

Looking with yum whatprovides, no package satisfies /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/.

updates-testing and rawhide do not contain these fixes.  Can we have a link to the fixes for testing?

I stand corrected..  Rawhide *does* have some updates.

..  but sadly, they do not address this issue.

Guys, I suffer from the same thing.

Revisor is a package that has no files itself, but all of the other revisor-* packages are compiled with revisor. If you make a "yum search revisor" you'll see how many revisor-* packages are. Also you can see the reviso.spec file and see how it is compiled:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=revisor.git;a=tree

The revisor man file is owned by revisor-cli package. The comps file you ask for is owned by revisor-comps package. You can make a "rpm -qf /path/to/file" to see who owns that file.

But the question in this bug report is...who's gonna make something to fix revisor? If the maintainers of revisor are not anymore interested in, please remove revisor from Fedora, because we don't want to have a package in Fedora that lacks any kind of functionality. Packages have to work, and revisor doesn't. It's very useful and I love it, but it doesn't work!

I am having this same problem with Fedora 15. I also had it with Fedora 14. Is there any solution forthcoming? Not just a workaround please.

Seeing the same issue on F15. 
# rpm -q revisor
revisor-2.2-3.fc15.noarch
# rpm -q anaconda
anaconda-15.31-1.fc15.i686

Will revisor be updated to work with the current anaconda?

imho it's have to be asked to remove revisor from fedora. it's not support since a few years.

*** Bug 708641 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 688584 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Why is this bug closed? I just installed Fedora 15 and I'm trying to create a new spin for my server to save time. Having the same problem everyone else is. Please open this bug a work towards a fix, please?

I'm here to confirm that in F15 revisor still doesn't work.

Here another user in need of a fix, for fedora 14 or 15. or a pointer to a replacement method of making a new Fedora spin, or any other method.
If this is a "closed - wontfix', shouldn't it be listed somewhere that revisor is no longer maintained?
I also see that this bug has a 'needinfo' status. But I don't see from the bug reports what info is needed.

Does not work in F16 too.

Any update on that bug ?

Great link that tells you how to modify the cfg.py file to change the package names that are outdated. Also you can remove anaconda-runtime from the list :)

https://fedorahosted.org/revisor/ticket/362

and once that breaks F14-buildinstall, found through a google search, edit /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/revisor/cfg.py to remove --prodpath code. Even though the comment says that everything later than F9 needs this, it really doesnt.  Hope that helps. Post here if you need more help.

Still NOT working in Fedora 17! What information is needed to fix this annoying issue? I can provide you logs etc. whatever you want.

I would suggest using pungi instead of revisor to build install images or livecd-tools for live images. Pungi is what is used to build images for releases and continues to be supported. livecd-tools is what has been used in the past, though we are moving to using livemedia-creator in the future, to create live images for releases. Revisor does not appear to be getting much attention and unless someone else takes an interest it probably won't get fixed.

try this:

ln -s /usr/libexec/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime

It works

No, it doesn't.

Are you sure Pablo? Have you been able to build an iso image with revisor?

That kind of workaround have already been proposed in the messages above, but nothing works for me.

you're right.It does not work.

but try installing rawhide.
It seems to work.

I installed the following package.
fedora-release-rawhide.noarch                    14-1                    @fedora

and then.
yum update revisor --enablerepo rawhide

can not verify if it works yet.
But it starts. I do not know how to use it.

I'm nearly sure that it won't work :)

Why your rawhide version is 14-1? Are you using Fedora 14???

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Still failing on Fedora 19.

I had the same issue ona 32 bit system, Fedora 19. I fixed it using `sudo ln -s /usr/libexec/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda`.

And now revisor works? And you composed a midia?

It does work (albeit, it dies later with an unrelated issue--not related to his bug report).

It also works with Fedora 16 (x32)

or `sudo ln -s /usr/lib/anaconda/ /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime`

[root@localhost ~]# revisor
Nie można odnaleźć anaconda-runtime w /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime

Is this unofficial RH policy to not fix this bug? Because this delay of updates seems like RH folks are afraid of too easy process of new distro creation based on RH and Fedora.

This is just a package with an orphaned upstream. It really should be retired.
You can use pungi, livecd-tools or lorax to make iamges

Comment #37 applies equally for fedora 21. Get the dreaded "cant find anaconda" error otherwise.This needs to be fixed somehow.Sure you can use livecd-creator but the point is that revisor is known in the past to do the same task with a UI.You can find plenty of instructions for using revisor on the net.

There is a way to do same with livecd-creator UI tools, I agree.We really only need one method.Linux has always 13 ways to kill a cat.Never understood why that is.

Question is why am I getting the "SELinux is disabled" error when it clearly is in enforcing mode?

Whoever closed this needs to reopen it.If you want to remove revisor, file a distribution bug.Im already hating this "new" "wontfix" policy when things are clearly "EOL" in such cases.This bug isnt EOL if it still applies.
