* Package name : python3-kiwi-boxed-plugin Version : 0.2.28 Upstream Contact: Marcus Schäfer <marcus.schae...@suse.com> * URL : https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi-boxed-plugin/ * License : GPL-3.0 Programming Lang: Python Description : KIWI plugin to provide self contained build support using QEMU Users building images with KIWI face problems if they want to build an image matching one of the following criteria: - Build should happen as non root user. - Build should happen on a host system distribution for which no KIWI packages exists. - Build happens on an incompatible host system distribution compared to the target image distribution. For example building an apt/dpkg based system on an rpm based system. - Run more than one build process at the same time on the same host. - Run a build process for a different target architecture compared to the host architecture (Cross Arch Image Build) The python3-kiwi-boxed-plugin is an optional plugin for KIWI which adds an additional command (`kiwi system boxbuild`) that allows building KIWI images inside a self-contained QEMU VM environment and overcoming the problems mentioned above. This is helpful for users of KIWI who have complex requirements for generating KIWI images. It requires `qemu-system-x86/arm`, as well as the `kiwi` package (already in the archives). It is an optional extension to KIWI. As this is will be my first package in Debian, I am looking for a sponsor to help to get this included in the archives.
