This two-part patch for supermin implements device trees (for ARM). The first patch introduces a more rational way to handle command line arguments in 'supermin-helper'. See the commit message for details. The old style is still supported for compatibility. The second patch adds an extra supermin-helper --dtb parameter specifying a wildcard. A device tree file which matches the

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

Hi Rich Kindly ignore my previos mail. I have downloaded the latest version of supermin supermin-5.1.8 and have compiled it for powerpc.Moreover there was no need to patch the src/ kernel.ml file as the changes were already implemented on the latest version. But still when i run libguestfs-test-tool on powerpc ubuntu,I get the below logs.. libguestfs-test-tool

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.

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 ext2 output format of the build mode. Changes from v1: - drop empty stub for the prepare mode - add patch to ignore --if-newer on modes different than build - squash patch with stub for the build mode

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.

Add a --size option to setting the size of the ext2 filesystem, so it is possible to create ext2 appliances with smaller disk images.

Hi Rich But there is no src/kernel.ml file on my ubuntu powerpc to which the above patch is reffering. I have installed supermin as supermin_5.1.8-2_powerpc.deb debian package.

thanks for your reply, When I set the debug mode and run "libguestfs-test-tool" the result is: virtTest@06MYRC5:~$ libguestfs-test-tool ************************************************************ * IMPORTANT NOTICE * * When reporting bugs, include the COMPLETE, UNEDITED * output below in your bug report. * ************************************************************

libguestfs now has experimental support for 32-bit ARM, including KVM on ARM. You will need at least the following to make it all work: - libguestfs 1.23.21 + 6e498461f6 Use ./configure --with-default-backend=direct. The libvirt backend does not work (yet). - supermin 4.1.5 + a55d9cf157 - kernel that supports virtio-mmio, virtio-scsi, virtio-serial Note that the Fedora 20 kernel has

SUPERMIN_KERNEL and SUPERMIN_MODULES don't work to guestfish. Since guestfish sets --if-newer parameter to supermin, so the environment variables are not used under the following conditions. - the output directory exists and, - the dates of both input files and package database are older than the output To solve that, rebuild the output it when SUPERMIN_KERNEL or SUPERMIN_MODULES are

If the specified output directory ends with a slash, chop it then; leaving it in will create problems later, like creating the temporary directory inside the output directory (and not aside it), and trying to rename it to the directory containing it (which will fail indeed). --- src/supermin.ml | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/supermin.ml b/src/supermin.ml index
