similar to: febootstrap 3.x use cases.

Hi, First, I'd like to thank you for your nice effort of the febootstrap tool. I understand there are 2 major versions of this tool the first has the syntax of "febootstrap fedora-12 ./f12" while the second has the syntax "febootstrap --names ....." Is it correct? I also understand the second one is used only to create a minimal system. is it correct too? But what about

As part of the oVirt Node[1] project, I'm going to P.O.C. a version of the node using febootstrap 2.x instead of livecd-creator. The main reasons in doing this is for allowing a r/w root filesystem without some hacky overlayfs and just to see if it can be done. On IRC, rwmjones mentioned a few issues he ran into with febootstrap 2.x where some rpms had %post scripts which aren't really

Good evening, I just tried following the steps in "Tip: Creating throwaway appliances with febootstrap"[1] on my workstation at home running Debian/unstable. I ran into problems: ,---- | $ mkdir supermin.d | $ febootstrap --names 'bash' 'coreutils' -o supermin.d | Get: 1 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid/main bash amd64 4.1-3 [1325 kB] | Get: 2

In the rpm description i found a note telling that this rpm will

Hello, I am new to febootstrap. I am struggling to install fedora 14 on disk.img (formatted with ext4fs) mounted on /mnt/temp . How to use febootstrap to do this ? Does it require any yum configuration ? I searched the web for documentation on this , but nothing is clearly mentioned. Please anyone tell me how to do this. I am doing this on Fedora 14 host. -- Onkar

The machine at et.redhat.com is going to be decommissioned soon, and so I have arranged alternate hosting for these two git repositories.

Because of the confusion generated by calling something 'febootstrap' which didn't have anything to do with Fedora and didn't generate bootstrap filesystems, I have renamed 'febootstrap' as 'supermin'. I also bumped the version number up to 4.1.0. New home page: http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/supermin/ Downloads: http://libguestfs.org/download/supermin/ Git

This patch is the minimum possible to add virtio-scsi support to febootstrap. Problem: SCSI devices are detected asynchronously after the Linux kernel module is loaded. The usual solutions to this involve scsi_wait_scan (deprecated apparently) or udev. However febootstrap doesn't use udev, and adding it is a ton of work with a very uncertain outcome. So the minimum possible change is to

Bash automatically resets euid to uid when it executes. This can mean that the effective user id of a program at the point it calls febootstrap-supermin-helper can be lost if any part of execution chain involved bash. This in turn can result in: * the generation of an incorrect checksum, which contains the uid. * the generation of supermin files with differing owners The -u and -g options allow

Hi Rich, I ran coverity against febootstrap's head and it spotted four leaks. This fixes them. The first patch plugs three. The second attempts to make the add_link function do what I'm guessing it was intended to do. As is, it was a no-op. >From 7c2ff55613598a1295e213cef36600ad61da7ed6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyering at redhat.com> Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012

Something that i would like to have, is the ability to keep the download packages in a temp directory when using febootstrap. I understand that using ferora/archlinux (distros with a lot of package updates every day) can increase the size of this temp directory rapidly and at some point will have a lot of deprecate packages. But the daily use of febootstrap (or building libguestfs) makes your

I have moved all three repositories to new locations on github: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs https://github.com/libguestfs/hivex https://github.com/libguestfs/febootstrap You don't need to reclone them (unless you want to). You can simply edit .git/config and adjust the URL to: git at github.com:libguestfs/libguestfs.git git at github.com:libguestfs/hivex.git git at

Run ./autogen.sh to populate it with gnulib stuff. Actually, this may not work too well unless you have gnulib checked out exactly in ../gnulib.
