Create a new directory (builder/template). Integrate all of the scripts into a single program, so that templates are generated more consistently. This also changes how the index file is generated. The script now generates the index file fragment and saves it under version control, and then generates the final index file by concatenating these. (Previously the index was written by hand which was tedious and error-prone.) The new script also saves the generated kickstart under version control so it can be referenced later.

This directory is used by the libguestfs 'virt-builder' to store the
|
|
clean, signed OS templates used for building new virtual machines.
|
|
|
|
The index file is the default source URL and links to the other OS
|
|
templates. It has the canonical URL:
|
|
|
|
http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/index.asc
|
|

|
libguestfs.git/builder/templates/ contains the program used to
|
|
generate the template files, the source for the index, kickstart files
|
|
and more.
|
|
|
|
When you use the ./run script to run virt-builder without installing,
|
|
the ./run script sets $VIRT_BUILDER_SOURCE to point to this directory.
|
|
If you actually want to use this configuration for anything except
|
|
simple testing, you will have to download one or more OS templates
|
|
from the libguestfs website and put them into this directory.
|
|
|
|
ie:
|
|
|
|
./run virt-builder fedora-20
|
|
|
|
will fail unless you have downloaded fedora-20.xz here.

The general plan for using kickstart and virt-install is outlined
|
|
by Kashyap here:

|
|
|
|
If you want to reproduce the builds then the kickstart files are
|
|
located in fedora-<N>.ks and the virt-install + other commands are in
|
|
fedora-<N>.sh.
