Check the ID field in /etc/os-release on the current system, before checking for the other old-style release-/version-like files in /etc. Some distributions (openSUSE Thumbleweed) are starting to remove them, breaking the supermin detection. --- src/dpkg.ml | 3 ++- src/pacman.ml | 5 +++-- src/rpm.ml | 15 +++++++++------ 3 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git

When building the mini initrd, previously we copied the modules into the initrd as-is, so for example if the module was xz-compressed, we copied the foo.ko.xz file to the initrd. This requires that the mini init binary is linked to zlib & lzma, so that it knows how to uncompress these modules when insmoding them at boot time. Also since the init is statically linked, it required _static_

I've pushed all of Hilko Bengen's contributions and a few other changes: - external insmod is not required at all (yay!) - fixed a few printf problems that were revealed by compiling the code with -Wall -Werror - verified that libguestfs still builds and runs Version 3.6 is available here: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/febootstrap/files/

An attempt to use installed files in zypp driver. Add also a comment about the theory of operation. Enable set -x in shell only in verbose mode. This adds a dependency to xmlstarlet, which is required to parse zypper output.

SUSE distros all have in common suse in ID_LIKE field. The ID field could be varying and is even set to 'Dummy' when building the packages.
