This adds the --make-tar option which will produce a xz compressed tar
of the root filesystem. This works with either virt-install or no-virt
modes. Use --image-name to set the output filename.
--compression is used to set the compression type to use, which defaults
to xz. Supported types are xz, lzma, gzip and bzip2.
--compress-arg is used to pass arguments to the compression utility.
Also adds a check for a bad url repo, and fix ram calculation for
appliance mode. Updates the README.livemedia-creator documentation.
Resolves: rhbz#1019728
This adds support for installing to a filesystem image instead of a
partitioned disk image. It requires Anaconda's --dirinstall support.
Also re-organized the code to break it up into smaller methods.
This speeds up iso creation in no-virt mode by removing the need to copy
the filesystem from the partitioned disk image to the filesystem image
that is used to make the squashfs image.
- Add a check to livemedia-creator for /usr/bin/virt-install (#841566)
- Suggest the correct package for livemedia-creator's libvirt (#841552)
- Add to list of packages needed to build a livemedia-creator iso (#841594)
This adds support for creating an appliance description file for the
disk image. Mako templates are used to make it easy to support other
appliance targets. The included example works with virt-image.
This runs anaconda directly, using the --image install feature. The host
system should be the same release as the target system in order to avoid
unexpected problems.
