really, it is not that hard to make kiwi a backend like all other
distros do with their build tools (anaconda for redhat, debootstrap and
a set of metapackages for ubuntu and debian, stage1 and emerge for
gentoo)
you have the necessary plugins for kiwi in place in the upstream code,
using teh plugin system to seed kiwi variables with the common system we
all use (and can help with in support) would be a first step ... its
great that you use kiwi but i'm 100% sure you can as well use it as a
backend like all of us do and work with the common plugins so people are
not lost and have to be sent to #kiwi if the are asking for support.
please dont point out again that kiwi is a fine standalone tool ... all
of us use such tools more or less, but thats not the point, the point is
that we all want to use the same code and want to collaborate and thus
decided to put our image and chroot building tools in teh backend, that
way it is possible to have distro independent ltsp tools *everybody*
contributes to. i know that japerry showed interest to help getting the
suse side in shape to function in a proper upstream way so lets sit down
together and develop a plan how to do it so we dont have one distro that
doesnt fit the scheme and users can get proper support ... its really
not that hard to just change the order of the scripts to wrap around
kiwi and use all the distro independent variables and options instead of
kiwi wrapping around the scripts.
the BTS hackfest in november should be a very good opportunity to do it,
how about sending one person there and getting suse in shape ? i'm hapy
to help with that if needed and i know the other distro devs would too
for teh ske of having something thats similar over all distros ...
ciao
