[fedora-arm] Re: Building fedora-arm images

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your response.
Yesterday I got in touch with Ondřej from the osbuild-composer team (CC).
He helped me switch over from Lorax to osbuild and I was able to get an
aarch64 image built with it.
You are most likely correct about the RPi images being a bit special
since the image produced did not boot properly on my RPi.

I have just tried out plain osbuild as you suggested and opened a new issue.

osbuild seems like it could be very useful for us.
I would like to help get RPi builds working successfully with it, please
let me know if I can help. I can help test builds at the very least.


Thank you,

Fabrizio
