FYI, I just posted two pull requests on libguestfs/supermin One adds urpmi support. The other adds xz support to supermin. On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 3:58 PM, Richard W.M.

These are quite old versions of kernel/qemu/libguestfs/supermin so I can only really offer

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 had to make some changes to the xz patch. The code that was used for conftest had to be modified and I needed to add lzma to the link line. The urpmi patch worked fine.

Hi, as pointed out by Neal Gompa, Mageia recently introduced dnf in the distribution (currently only in Cauldron, which is the future Mageia 6), and most probably it will replace urpmi in the future. As such, on Mageia make supermin prefer dnf over urpmi when found, using the same code already used for Fedora. Related change: make test-harder.sh work explicitly also on Mageia

Supermin is a tool that we use to create and distribute the tiny libguestfs appliance. The tool has been in development since 2009 and was renamed from ‘febootstrap’ to ‘supermin’ in 2013. To find out more about this tool, see: http://libguestfs.org/supermin.1.html I have just released supermin 5.2.0. This is a stable branch version. Previously we didn't really have a split between stable

If you follow the code in src/kernel.ml you'll see that this means supermin was unable to get the kernel version from

In brief you need to be able to do a few simple package database meta operations such as listing all files in a package

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.

All in libguestfs >= 1.23.19. - The location of the javadoc has moved from: /usr/share/javadoc/libguestfs-java-$version to: /usr/share/javadoc/libguestfs. - Compressed cpio images are used, if possible. You will see two *.gz files appearing in appliance/supermin.d during the build and copied to /usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d: $ ls -lh appliance/supermin.d/ total 1.3M -rw-rw-r--. 1 rjones
