pungi/mkisofs for ppc on x64

[Doug Maxey <dwm enoyolf org>]

Howdy!

This may appear to be slightly off topic, please stay with me...

I am trying to compose an f8 ppc iso on an x86_64 machine.  This
should work, as there is no native ppc code run, right?.  All goes
well until we get to the mkisofs stage.

There appears to be 2 bugs involved, see [1].

As part of the debug, I finally got mkisofs to enable the use of the
-magic flag, which finally gets me back to the anaconda part.

pungi emits the following command:

Pungi.Pungi:INFO: Running /usr/bin/mkisofs -v -U -J -R -T -part -hfs \
		  -r -l -sysid PPC -no-desktop -allow-multidot \
		  -chrp-boot -map
		  /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/boot/mapping \
		  -magic /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/boot/magic \
		  -hfs-bless /srv/f8/080118-0222/8/ppc/os/ppc/mac \
		  -V Fedora 8 ppc DVD -o \
/srv/f8/080118-0222/8/ppc/iso/Fedora-8-ppc-DVD.iso \
/srv/f8/080118-0222/8/ppc/os

In anaconda, one sees that scripts/mk-images.ppc is the call site, is
attempting to use "/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/boot/magic", which indeed
does not exist.

Looking at the anaconda source, I did find a magic file, in
bootdisk/ppc/magic.  This file is not in the installed
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime anywhere.

Would this be the correct file?

Should bootdisk/ppc/magic always be installed?  Or for that matter,
the entire contents of bootdisk/*?
