The new run_shell helper is a copy of run_python, and will be used by upcoming changes.

The current mode of operation in the zypp driver is to download all packages into a temporary pkg-cache-dir. Installed packages in the root filesystem are ignored, otherwise zypper would download only a subset of packages, and it would not provide a list of all required dependencies. Remove the getuid check to force an empty root directory and use the configured system repositories. This works

Joseph, Please try my modified versions of these patches. These are compile-tested on Fedora and they don't break any existing functionality, but I don't have either urpmi nor a statically-linked xz so I cannot fully test them. I have also fixed detection of zlib (2/3). Rich.

It looks like zypper has no "ignore unknown packages/provides" flag. zypper .. install $pkg is called with an unknown package then zypper will just abort because it expects valid input. Maybe

libguestfs and supermin use 'no' instead of either the basename of the desired application, or 'false', as helper string. This happens when configure does not find things like rpm or supermin during build. Wouldnt it be more logical to use the basename instead of 'no' so that at runtime one has the chance to install the required packages and in addition get an obvious

This is an attempt to handle a different --reposd-dir in the zypp_rpm driver. Up to now the system repositories in /etc/zypp/repos.d were used. To specify a different set of repositories for zypp a parser for a simple zypper.conf is added in this patch. It just looks for reposdir= in section main, like this: [main] reposdir=/path/to/other/repofiles If the config file provided via

Hi, this work makes supermin use the rpm library instead of invoking rpm directly. This, together with a needed refactoring of the dependency resolution, should help in make supermin faster on rpm-based systems. Surely the patches will still need polishing, especially for behaviours of newly added stuff, but at least it's a good starting point. Noting that you need rpm-devel on most of rpm

Hi, I found the zypper provider mentioned on this list in another thread, but it failes with the flowing error : Package[kvm]/ensure: change from 0.11.0-4.5.2 to true failed: Could not update: undefined method `zypper'' for #<Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderZypper:0x7fd1acf9e360> at Is the latest provider broken?

Allow an alternate libc, such as dietlibc, to be used for the init binary in the supermin appliance. Rich.

Hi, let's make supermin use /etc/os-release as primary source instead of the various release files in /etc; apparently distros (e.g. openSUSE) are starting removing them.

v1 -> v2: - If we split out the init program into a separate init/ directory, that makes it much easier to build against an alternate libc. I tried to build against uClibc, but uClibc requires an entire build chain, which looked like it was going to be a massive ballache. Rich.

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.

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
