I am interested in generating a spin of CentOS 7, but I'm having trouble identifying the correct tool to compose an ISO image.
For what reason? Is this something that would benefit others (could/Should it be a sig?)
I've done some searching, and tried a number of different tools, such as livemedia-creator, livecd-tools, pungi, and so on, but it is not obvious which is the preferred tool.
What tool should I use to compose a spin of CentOS 7?
Depends on what you're doing.
Also, I'm curious if the official images (such as CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-NetInstall.iso) are composed with the same tool, or if there is a different tool that I would use to compose that type of image.
In other words, is everything essentially a live image today or are there different tools to compose a live image versus the official installation DVDs?
The live images are done with livecd-tools. The install images are done the old way with mkisofs I believe. We're in the process of adding imagefactory to the community builders, so if you wanted to do this as a SIG, you'd be able to crank out images in a semi-automated fashion.
