Therefore the compilation of the C tools as well as the installation of the man pages and the bash completion has been added to setup.py. The spec file to build an rpm package has been changed to use setup.py exclusively

# KIWI - tools

|
|
the kiwi image technology. If you need them in your image
|
|
just set the package kiwi-tools in your config.xml file
|
|
|
|
* /usr/bin/startshell

|

|
|
used in initrd images for providing shell access while init
|
|
is not called
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
systemd
|
|
|
|
* /usr/bin/utimer
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* /usr/bin/kversion

|
|
|
|
* /usr/bin/livestick
|
|
|

The advantage of livestick compared to a simple dd of the iso

|
to the stick is, that livestick preserves the data on the stick
|
|
and does not destroy existing infrastructure. livestick is installed
|
|
as part of the kiwi main package and is not part of the
|
|
kiwi-tools package
|
|
|
|
* /usr/bin/kiwicompat
|
|

|
Allows to call kiwi using the commandline syntax of the
