Regarding http://twitter.com/CentOS/statuses/79336297579282432
I don't have a twitter account so I'm spamming the list since it looks on topic :)
I'd like to see on the LiveCD the following: 1. latest dd_rescue 2. latest gparted 3. ntfs-3g 4. screen 5. mc
How about you?

CentOS 6 Live CD would composed of packges from the distribution's packages --- 'latest' is not a criteria there; as to something with 'ntfs' I do not know the containing package, but it's not likely:
[herrold@xps400 centos-qa]$ find /var/ftp/pub/mirror/centos/centos-qa -name "*ntfs*" [herrold@xps400 centos-qa]$
'screen' and 'mc' are possible as each is a relatively small, TUI package without major dependencies
just my $0.02

I agree with most of this list except I don't use dd_rescue very much; screen and gparted are the two that I would find most useful. mc is nice as well.

Why? What's wrong with a few extra packages from EPEL?
EPEL is not part of CentOS, that's what. Nothing per se is wrong with EPEL; it's just that the Official CentOS LiveCD needs to contain packages from the Official CentOS Repositories and nothing more.
You should install Revisor, and master your own Live media with EPEL or ATrpms or ELrepo or rpmforge or remi or whatnot packages; it's not that hard.

Is revisor scriptable to the point where people could share their list of repos/packages and anyone could run the script and get an identical (but up to date) iso?

AFAIK, it uses a kickstart file to compose. The docs are on the FedoraProject's pages.

I used livecd-tools package from EPEL and Fedora howto: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD
I took CentOS official LiveCD .ks file and adapted it for desired packages and repos.
I have attached my .ks file. It uses my plnet repository for some extra packages. Also attached is centos-livecd-desktop.ks with only official repositories, so you can compare and see what I have changed.

You should install Revisor, and master your own Live media with EPEL or ATrpms or ELrepo or rpmforge or remi or whatnot packages; it's not that hard.
Is revisor scriptable to the point where people could share their list of repos/packages and anyone could run the script and get an identical (but up to date) iso?
AFAIK, it uses a kickstart file to compose. The docs are on the FedoraProject's pages.
I used livecd-tools package from EPEL and Fedora howto: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD
I took CentOS official LiveCD .ks file and adapted it for desired packages and repos.
I have attached my .ks file. It uses my plnet repository for some extra packages. Also attached is centos-livecd-desktop.ks with only official repositories, so you can compare and see what I have changed.

Hm, I failed to change epel, centosplus and elrepo repositories to official ones. I guess I am going to pay for that if more people start using it without changing them to official ones. Oh well...

Technically not your fault, there's not enough organization in the project to prevent an easily overlooked mistake like that from hitting the public.
You could release your work to something like Github, but I'm sure the CentOS team doesn't want that...

ehh? The CentOS team has been quite clear that its product carries the license of the underlying packages, and then GPL for released CentOS source code; I am aware of no exceptions as to released binary content from the project)
CentOS private signing keys have never been released, and will not be, to avoid forged content is the project's name; CentOS' branding changes are all knowable from the SRPMs released; CentOS' trademarks (the brand name, and the logo, are what come to mind) would need to be replaced, but this is straightforward, and as noted, the sources are published
SME, and ClearOS, and others have worked forward from a CentOS base for years without objection from the project
The only material restriction is that of not falsely representing non-CentOS content as of CentOS origin. 'mash-up's' from some VPS vendors that sell under the 'CentOS' name, but deliver some hacked up knockoff, carrying a mish-mash of cruft, and sending their support load into CentOS channels, are what really raise my hackles
I don't know why a VCS such as github is needed for such a small set of revisor CLI control scripts, but it may of course be done
The thing that would be galling is if a sub-project author 'hijacked' CentOS mailing lists on a sustained basis, rather than having the honesty to announce and publish and thereafter run their own infrastructure -- El Repo is an example of such a well-run sub-project, off the top of my head; alternatively some have published content under the CC license of the CentOS wiki, and that may well serve here for documenting a revisor recipe. The -docs mailing list is the provided venue for getting rights to slot such content in

Regarding http://twitter.com/CentOS/statuses/79336297579282432
I don't have a twitter account so I'm spamming the list since it looks on topic :)
I'd like to see on the LiveCD the following:
- latest dd_rescue
- latest gparted
- ntfs-3g
- screen
- mc
How about you?
mc is the first thing I install on top of a basic DVD kickstart installation. It allows me to continue easily with the rest of the installation and configuration. So having it on live cd would be fine as well.

It's nice list but a bit small for my taste :-D
Official LiveCD can not have anything from other repos.
When C6 is released I am going to create LiveCD with: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, krusader lvm (if it is not already in kernel but I think it is) mdmonitor gftp pidgin thunderbird xchat ktorrent d4x skype amarok-extras-freeworld smplayer nmap-frontend rdesktop tsclient k3b kdiff3 krename yumex gftp fuse-ntfs-3g isomaster system-config-lvm mc webmin shorewall ghostscript kmod-nvidia?(elrepo modules)? nvidia-x11-drv?(elrepo modules)? fglrx*?(elrepo modules)? gksu(or alternative) plnet-release (my own release package) madwifi+madwifi module with AR5007EG support. webmin shorewall non-free codecs
Some things will not be added, some will, etc.
List is from my LiveCD on CentOS 5.3 with added services: cups,haldaemon,mcstrans,NetworkManager,portmap,restorecond,mdmonitor
You can download and use it: http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos5-i386/CentOS-5.3-PLNet-i386-LiveCD.iso but be warned that it is not an Official LiveCD and that is contains custom packages from mine and other third-party repositories. And that my packages were not signed back then.
