5) Sanity check the tree
Gathering Packages
Using yumdownloader in combination with a comps file makes sense here. We
can define what we want at the top level and let yum depsolve the rest.
The tricky bits here are figuring out multilib stuff and the uglyness that
is noarch packages with ExcludeArch/ExclusiveArch crack.
Using yumdownloader / reposync like code in combination with a comps file
makes sense here. We can define what we want at the top level and let yum

the uglyness that is noarch packages with ExcludeArch/ExclusiveArch crack.
We could skip over this by assuming that repos will exist that are pre-
populated with multilib/noarch safe packages and we just pull whats there.
There is some code in the Extras push scripts. See also yum/comps.py for
dealing with comps.
Running Anaconda Tools
These should be ran on the release it is releasing. This means using mock

Sanity Check the Tree
This could/should be an ever growing set of post-tree build sanity checks.
Hopefully it'll cut down on brown paperbag trees sneaking out.
Organization
Each task set will be its own module. Work on each module can be done
independantly and hopefully once functional it should be easy to tie them
all together (one ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them)
Making it all happen
There really is space for two tools, or something inbetween. There is the
task of creating a repo of packages multilibbed up. Think rawhide. The
second tool takes packages from said repos and makes the install and CD set.
Working on the second tool first makes sense, as it can be used today with
existing Core and Extras repos. Later, tool #1 can grow from #2.
