The list of Fedora, RHEL ... images are here : https://www.rdoproject.org/resources/image-resources/

I think they use https://github.com/rcbops/oz-image-build as image builder

has fedora been tested?

[hartwork]

It worked for Fedora 25 at some point. Broken now? Please keep in mind image-bootstrap is working with often moving targets.

[hurricanehrndz]

Okay, doesn't seem to work anymore with either 25 or 26. Does work with 21.

I just tested Fedora 25 successfully from Git HEAD over here:

# directory-bootstrap fedora --release 25 fedora_25_chroot                                                                                                
[..]
# sudo pychroot fedora_25_chroot/ cat /etc/system-release
Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five)

If it doesn't work for you, please run with --debug and report a bug as a new ticket.

@hartwork thanks for the quick feedback, what is your host os?

[hartwork]

Gentoo Linux most of the time and right now, and some Debian.

Okay, I will try from another distro, because when I tried from openSUSE I got some sort of yum transaction check error with systemd and libc6. I don't think it has anything to do with the project, I tried the yum commands myself and got the same result. Thanks for looking into it for me.

Closing, implemented a while ago.
