OK, I'll need to rebase this because the upstream code has changed a bit. Two random thoughts: (1) This morning I discovered it's possible to make automake compile OCaml programs, provided they contain at least one C object (which all of ours do): https://github.com/libguestfs/supermin/blob/master/src/Makefile.am#L94 It needs a relatively small hack to add -l options in the right place: https://github.com/libguestfs/supermin/blob/master/src/supermin-link.sh.in (2) Related to the above, I rewrote supermin. This entailed dropping the zypper/SUSE support *temporarily*. I intend to add it back. It should in fact be simpler, as the Fedora support just uses 'rpm': https://github.com/libguestfs/supermin/blob/master/src/rpm.ml and it seems likely that any RPM based distro could use the same code (ie. SUSE support won't need to depend on zypper at all). Except for one small point: we need a tool to download RPMs from the repository, for which I'm using yumdownloader in that file. So that will need fixing for SUSE.
