We don't need to sign individual templates, provided the signed index file contains the cryptographically secure checksums of the templates. Since the index file cannot be interfered with and the checksums cannot be spoofed, this is sufficient to ensure the integrity of the templates. Note the template signatures are now deprecated and will be removed in libguestfs 1.26. To avoid any backwards compatibility issues, I will backport the relevant changes to the stable-1.24 branch. Thanks Dennis Gilmore for pointing out that we could do this.
If you are looking at this file at http://libguestfs.org/download/builder ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 If you are looking at this file in the git repository ----------------------------------------------------- libguestfs.git/builder/website/ contains a copy of the website, minus the huge OS template files (because of their size, they are stored elsewhere and merged into the website when it is uploaded). 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 the builder/website/ directory. ie: ./run virt-builder fedora-20 will fail unless you have downloaded fedora-20.xz here. Fedora guests ------------- The general plan for using kickstart and virt-install is outlined by Kashyap here: http://kashyapc.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/unattended-guest-install-with-a-local-kickstart/ 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.
