Additional packages from Fedora

Use the custom_packages module:

  • Add 'custom_packages' to the modules list
  • Add a new section
 [custom_packages]
 add_packages=
           oneadditionalpackage,
           another-extra-package,
           a-package-with-specific-version-1.33a

Additional packages from RPMFusion

RPM Fusion is a group of repositories that contain many packages that are not in the official Fedora repositories. This recipe shows you how to add packages from these repositories to your build.

NOTE: Some packages, specially on the 'non-free' repositories, have legal restrictions under some jurisdictions. Make sure you know and understand how those apply to you and your users.

  • Start with a working .ini config file
  • In the "[repos]" section, add some custom repositories
 [repos]
 ...
 custom_repo_1=
