[Thincrust-devel] [patch] act - ec2 conversion option for appliance-creator

[Joey Boggs]

I thought for some reason --type was assigned already, I'll make that 
change. Yes vmem and vcpu are ignored in the EC2 case, for the format 
option, so long as the created image is an accessible diskimage, the 
format will not matter. When the loopback unpartitioned image is added 
in we will most likely need to make some changes to accommodate that.

What did you appliance-creator command look like to get the below error?

I tested using the ec2-f9 and aos-rawhide kickstarts with no problems 
when I finished.
