NAME¶
update-guestfs-appliance - update the supermin appliance used by libguestfs
SYNOPSIS¶
update-guestfs-appliance
DESCRIPTION¶
update-guestfs-appliance creates or updates the supermin appliance for
use with libguestfs. It uses
febootstrap for this, therefore access to
the package repository is needed.
A supermin appliance contains only lists of files and directories. The contents
of the referenced files are only copied into an ad-hoc filesystem whenever
libguestfs starts a virtual machine. Therefore, calling
update-guestfs-appliance is only needed after libguestfs has been
installed or when the filesystem layouts or dependencies of needed packages on
the host system have been changed.
FILES¶
/usr/lib/guestfs/make.sh (the script that does the actual work),
/usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/hostfiles
/usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/base.img
