I am still working with the original images Johnny and David put up. And using the matching repo for additional rpms needed for my testing.
I a now doing rebuilds to test out my setup process to make sure it works for when this beta ends and I do some clean builds. But:
I do not know how to build an image that works via the RBF. I do not know if enough has been compiled to work with the lastest builds
I want to be testing out the image build process as well as the rest. Please let me know where we stand and how to build images.
I do not know how to build an image that works via the RBF.
In your case, since you have both Cubietruck and Cubieboard2, you should generate a generic image i.e. a QEMU image and then write it to your microSD card using rbfinstaller.py. Choose Cubietruck/Cubieboard2 depending on the which microSD card you are writing to.
In short, on your current CentOS Cubietruck # git clone https://github.com/mndar/rbf.git # cd rbf # ./rbf.py build templates/qemu.xml # ./rbfinstaller.py centos.img /dev/sdb
The README has more details. You can look in the section, "Usage of rbf.py". If you want to use QEMU, this doc will be useful https://github.com/mndar/rbf/blob/master/doc/QEMU_README.md

I built a new CentOS image my Cubietruck last week. With the latest kernel in the repo, I am having trouble with the mmc_block driver in QEMU not detecting the disk and with the ethernet driver on my Cubietruck. I generated the image and then copied over the old kernel to the new image to make everything functional in both cases. I have yet to look into these two issues in more detail.

Where is the readme? I am gathering, that ON the Cubietruck, I can build the generic image. I trust that this readme has good instructions for how to do that...

I am looking at:
https://github.com/mndar/rbf/blob/master/doc/
ANd see a number of readmes, and trying to figure out the flow. Will the scripts work on the CT without a GUI?

Yes, the scripts work will work without a GUI.
rbfdialog.py requires dialog and python2-pythondialog but you don't need to use it unless you want to customize the XML template. Moreover, being just a XML file, the template can be customized even a regular editor like vi or nano.
I ALMOST have my test Samba AD moved from my one CT to one of my CB2. Once that is done, I will redo the CT and try to build an image on it.
I thought I could test out the sata multiplexer, but I don't seem to have enough sta 15 pin power plugs to use. Going to have to order something later today. At least a Y to Molex. I wish I knew what plugs are used on the CT so I could buy those and rewire a 15pin sata Y to Molex to use the CT drive power. My attempts some months back got me a how bunch of wrong sized plugs.
