similar to: Porting febootstrap to urpmi-based distributions

I just tried to get libguestfs to compile on Ubuntu 11.10 using the latest febootstrap, and the following patches were necessary for me. They are all just reasonable code cleanups *except* for patch 5/5 which is a gross hack for something I don't understand about how Ubuntu 11.10 multiarch support works. Rich.

This takes a list of package names, adding them to the image without pulling any dependencies. Only implemented for Debian at the moment. zypper wasn't build-tested because I don't have the dependency. --- src/.depend | 2 +- src/supermin.ml | 6 +++--- src/supermin_cmdline.ml | 13 ++++++++++--- src/supermin_cmdline.mli | 10

I looked at OpenSUSE 11.3 (x86-64) and the 'zypper' package manager. Background ---------- libguestfs needs febootstrap to build the so-called supermin appliance. Since febootstrap 3.x, this requires porting febootstrap to each specific Linux package management system. We've already done this for yum (Fedora), apt (Debian/Ubuntu) and PacMan (ArchLinux). A port is reasonably

On those systems "$(OCAMLFIND) $(OCAMLBEST)" was resolved as "ocamlfind byte" which did not work. --- Makefile.am | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am index 109d2c8..4dc6f12 100644 --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -56,18 +56,18 @@ SOURCES_ML = $(filter %.ml,$(SOURCES)) BOBJECTS =
