Some bugs in the documents:

1. Author’s system is x64 system, so the commands are

~/kickstart_build/parse_comps.pl ~/kickstart_build/comps.xml ~/kickstart_build/all_rpms x86_64

~/kickstart_build/follow_deps.pl ~/kickstart_build/all_rpms x86_64

if you’re using 32bits system, use “i386” replace the x86_64

2. in the script parse_comps.pl, line 13

change the $comps_file to $rpm_path

3. in perl, if install XML::Simple fail, it will give a solution to install another package, then reinstall XML::Simple again.
