Running Anaconda from git

Posted by Alexander Todorov on Fri 13 November 2015

It is now possible to execute anaconda directly from a git checkout.

Disclaimer: this is only for testing purposes, you are not supposed to execute anaconda from git and install a running system! My intention is to use this feature and rewrite the Dogtail tests inside tests/gui/ which rely on having a LiveCD.iso and running VMs to execute. For me this has proven very slow and difficult to debug problems in the past hence the change.

Note: you will need to have an active DISPLAY in your environment and also set SELinux to permissive, see rhbz#1276376.

Please see PR 438 for more details.
