similar to: [PATCH] * initial FrugalWare support

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

Hi, this is a prototype of something I've around for some time. Basically it is about adding new appliances in addition to the main one currently used and kept up-to-date automatically: this way it is possible to create new appliances with extra packages, to be used in specific contexts (like virt-rescue, with more network/recovery tools) without filling the main appliance. It's still

Hi, to ease debugging issues with appliances (e.g. when used in libguestfs), using --include-packagelist will add a file containing the list of all the packages used. Thanks, Pino Toscano (3): ext2: add ext2fs_chmod and ext2fs_chown chroot: factor out file copy code Add --include-packagelist src/build.ml | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------ src/chroot.ml | 29

I was able to install stretch, starting from jessie [from `virt-builder debian-8'], changing s/jessie/stretch/ in sources.list, and upgrading in the usual way. To install gfs2-utils I had to add jessie as another apt source [see my final sources.list attached]. That package is not in stretch, I

This package in Fedora enables optional support for Windows 10 "CompactOS" (file-level compression), read-only, which is sufficient for inspecting Windows guests and doing certain types of modifications to them. Virt-v2v appears to work, but it may be that anything that involves modifying a compressed file might not work. I couldn't find the equivalent package in Debian or SUSE.

v3: - Don't remove the LVM transform.

Hi Pino, Thanks for your reply and details. I started looking at the others package manager code and as I see it there is one main problem to port supermin to slackware distro. Slackware builtin package management tools (pkgtool and slackpkg) do not manage package dependencies. There is no easy solution to solve this problem. There are third party packet manager which manage dependencies but

v2 of previous patch, which fixes some missing bits. For now I'm going to go with Pino's RHEL 7.1 patch, since it is at least smaller than this. So I'm sending this to the list just to have it archived for later. Rich.

Added: - cdrtools: added as alternative to cdrkit - multipath-tools: contains kpartx (in AUR) Removed: - ntfsprogs: the package is no longer available, it has been completely replaced by ntfs-3g (already in packagelist.in) - zfs-fuse: no longer in AUR Signed-off-by: Tomáš Golembiovský <tgolembi@redhat.com> --- appliance/packagelist.in | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2

I'd prefer that patches are posted on the mailing list for review, even a preliminary review. You don't need to sign up, but there may be a short delay before you post is approved.

Rich you're right, I forgot to run make. I added 'set -x' and reran make and then ran 'virt-builder -v -x' and it seems to hang at dhclient (see attached log).

Hi, this series for libguestfs improves the support for OpenSUSE. There are couple of changes (in testing-only stuff) needed to help running the tests properly, and an update of the packagelist. Pino Toscano (3): builder: do not use xz --block-size for the test images tests: make the scratch disk used for scratch much larger appliance: initial packagelist for OpenSUSE
