[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/3] RFC: appliance flavours

[Pino Toscano]

Hi,

this is a prototype of something I've around for some time.
Basically it is about adding new appliances in addition to the main
one currently used and kept up-to-date automatically: this way it is
possible to create new appliances with extra packages, to be used in
specific contexts (like virt-rescue, with more network/recovery tools)
without filling the main appliance.

It's still WIP (the most notable lack is a proper base.tar.gz with
config files of flavour packages), but I'd like to get some feedback
about it.


Pino Toscano (3):
  New API: appliance flavours
  appliance: add a "rescue" appliance for virt-rescue
  appliance: move openssh to the "rescue" appliance
