Hi, this patch enables building of the guestfs appliance with most of the correct packages. The missing ones will follow as soon as they are available. Greetings Daniel

systemd will generate a new machine-id if /etc/machine-id is empty, that's how anaconda does it, maybe it's also an option for guestfish. - fabian On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 1:14 PM, Richard W.M.

Hi, (added myself as CC as I'm not subscribed to this MailingList curently) I already sent a pull request via github, but was told that review via ML is preferred. Another patch for libguestfs will follow in a seperate Mail. Greetings Daniel

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.

A fix to supermin is required if you want to use supermin and/or libguestfs with Linux kernel >= 4.13. It does not affect the recently released kernel 4.12. Supermin incorrectly created symlinks in the appliance filesystem, and although this works with earlier kernels a recent change breaks these (incorrect) filesystems. The symptoms you will see are described in this bug report:

I've ported the supermin appliance capabilities from libguestfs into febootstrap >= 2.5: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=febootstrap.git;a=commit;h=76b7711268a6b0c0929952ee261821825589a165 Once that has rolled out into Fedora (in about 2 weeks) I will remove the code from libguestfs and just have it use febootstrap. There should be no visible changes, but developers will need to upgrade to

supermin needs to download packages (eg. RPMs) when preparing the appliance. 'dnf download' finally appears to have made parallel downloads reliable[1]. Better late than never. So I have experimentally switched Rawhide's supermin to use 'dnf download' instead of the (deprecated) 'yumdownloader' program. This only affects the 'supermin --prepare' phase, which

The ELF NEEDED are used to determine guestfsd's library dependencies with help from the dynamic linker and the package manager.

I spent the last couple of days rethinking how we go about building the appliance, and the difficulties we have porting that to other Linux distros. I've come up with a much better way that works better and faster on (so far) Fedora and Debian (probably on Ubuntu too, not tried it), and should be much simpler to port to other distros. The current way is to do: +------------------+
