openSUSE Leap 15 has "opensuse-leap" as ID in os-release, so add it both in the detection code of the RPM handler, and in test-harder.sh. --- src/ph_rpm.ml | 2 +- tests/test-harder.sh | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/ph_rpm.ml b/src/ph_rpm.ml index b0a5eb2..3caa38e 100644 --- a/src/ph_rpm.ml +++ b/src/ph_rpm.ml @@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ let

It seems that all the newer versions of openSUSE have an 'opensuse-' prefix in their distro ID; hence, check for that prefix at once, keeping compatibility for the old "opensuse" ID.

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

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

I have done some printf profiling and found that supermin's calls to dpkg for individual packages are quite expensive. Here are some patches that gather all information on demand where possible. On my Debian/unstable-based workstation at home, preparing a minimal appliance using $ ./supermin --use-installed --prepare bash -o supermin.d now takes ~3.5s (previously ~15s). Turning that

Mageia introduced dnf as alternative package manager for the next version 6, with the possibility to replace urpmi as primary in the future. As such, prefer dnf over urpmi+fakeroot to download rpm packages.

This patch series fixes several problems in the way that supermin handles kernels. The most pressing problem is that supermin doesn't handle bogus vmlinuz files which aren't actual kernels. Along the way there is a lot of clean up. The patches look much better if you view them with ‘-w’. This series will require plenty of time to be tested in Fedora, especially on non-x86 arches.

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

Libguestfs supports passing an ISO image as a source of virtio windows drivers to v2v. That support, however, looks too heavy-weight: in order to access those drivers, a separate guestfs handle is created (and thus a new emulator process is started), which runs until v2v completes. This series attempts to make it simpler and lighter-weight, by making the relevant code more local, and by

This patch series fixes the way supermin sorts the list of installed packages when resolving a name, picking the right package for the host architecture.

Allow an alternate libc, such as dietlibc, to be used for the init binary in the supermin appliance. Rich.
