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

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. Thanks, Pino Toscano (2): Add simple handling of /etc/os-release Use os-release to detect the distro src/Makefile.am | 3 +++ src/dpkg.ml | 3 ++- src/os_release.ml | 78

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

While trying to run libguestfs tests after building with "--enable-appliance --with-supermin-extra-options=--use-installed", I ran into a peculiar error message in the c-api test: ,---- | libguestfs: error: strings: /abssymlink: strings: error while loading | shared libraries: libbfd-2.24-multiarch.so: cannot open shared object | file: No such file or directory `---- The problem here

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

Document what each module does, using *.mli files. Remove the --dtb option, it's obsolete. Rename modules according to their purpose. Rich.

This is an attempt to make supermin check for the existing results of an output when checking whether the appliance must be rebuilt using --if-newer. At the moment it is implemented only for the build mode, and for its ext2 output format.

Patches 1, 2 and 4 are fine. I have a minor problem with this patch:

Similarly to how we do the mass builds for all the packages. But the mass rebuild process is very different, because releng doesn't

OK so I don't have a program tdbbackup. Where do I get it?
