similar to: [PATCH v4] RFC: New tool: virt-dib

virt-dib is a new tool to run the elements of diskimage-builder using libguestfs. --- More or less stable now, although with debug stuff here and there; needs initial review, for being included. I would like to have it reviewed at this point, so it can be broadly used. TODO items open: - improve the documentation - review - getting more testing (although it has been successfully tested for

Instead of running them before lanching the appliance with the disks and then uploading the result after root.d hooks run, mount the root in the local temporary directory using FUSE and then run the hooks on the guest. Other than being closer to what diskimage-builder does, it also avoids issues with the extra-data.d scripts assuming to find things already, and we don't error out while trying

Sadly, there are elements (hello "gentoo"!) that, during the cleanup.d phase, wipe out almost everything in the /tmp of the guest, including the /tmp/aux where virt-dib mounts the auxiliary data. Since that removal excludes things starting with "in_target" (mostly to avoid wiping the "in_target.d" that disk-image-create itself sets up, then rename our "aux"

d-i-b 2.0 is written in Python, and thus it passes the information about the interpreter used for it (sys.executable) to the scripts that need it; this mechanism replaces the old discovery of what is the default Python interpreter in the system. Since we are not Python-based, look for 'python' and use it as default interpreter, with the --python command line option to set a different one.

Hi, this series improves virt-dib, adding some upstream changes, and refactoring the handling of output formats. Thanks, Pino Toscano (6): dib: clear up "already provided" message dib: add --checksum dib: pass custom mkfs options after the filesystem type dib: refactor output formats handling dib: clarify "output:" lines in --machine-readable documentation dib:

Hi, this series start to implement some of the changes needed to support d-i-b 2.0; normal VM distro builds seem to work correctly, ramdisk builds are still broken and require more efforts. Thanks, Pino Toscano (5): dib: implement get_image_element_array stuff dib: export IMAGE_BLOCK_DEVICE_WITHOUT_PART dib: extract get_required_tool out of require_tool dib: require a Python interpreter

Hi, this patch series does changes mostly in virt-dib, few bug fixes and a couple of new features (mostly implemented upstream already). In addition, one new API is added, and a new optional argument for an existing API is added (the latter is not needed, but could be useful anyway). Thanks, Pino Toscano (10): dib: fix listing envvars in fake-sudo dib: source dib "die" script in

The real sudo does it as well, and leaving them when preserving the environment (-E) maybe breaks the applications, as e.g. chroot will have a TMPDIR path pointing outside of it. --- dib/dib.ml | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/dib/dib.ml b/dib/dib.ml index df83ba1..d15cd19 100644 --- a/dib/dib.ml +++ b/dib/dib.ml @@ -301,6 +301,11 @@ if [ -z \"$preserve_env\" ];

Implement the "squash" output format, i.e. a squashfs compressed filesystem. This was implemented in diskimage-builder upstream as commit 9d13084c4183b63587e1f5e4b03395a8df6538f6. --- dib/Makefile.am | 1 + dib/output_format_squashfs.ml | 39 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ dib/utils.ml | 1 + dib/virt-dib.pod | 6 ++++++ 4 files

This is just a straight refactoring. Various ad hoc string_* functions that appeared in Common_utils have been renamed and placed in the String.* namespace. The old vs "new" functions are: string_prefix -> String.is_prefix string_suffix -> String.is_suffix string_find -> String.find replace_str -> String.replace string_nsplit -> String.nsplit string_split

Improve the grammar, and the wording, and make few details explicit.
