So far,
My rpm builds and tested ok on centos7
It has been built successfully on fedora20 but not tested.
on centos6, it is facing this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182297
This is not centos6 related and will be fixed soon. if I download the package,
it builds fine.
Right now, I'm polishing the build. Then I'll cross check the list of binaries
that needs to be included so most common user postinstall script can run. I
will also include driver firmwares so the generic image will work for most
common cases.
As for buzybox, I've chosen to not use it and use core utils instead. The image
is bigger, but on common systems this is not an issue anymore. I made this
choice because the buzybox package is not available on centos6 and maybe on
other distros. This choice is very easy to revert. (either by reenabling
buzybox.rul build or by using the os provided package and adding the correct
dracut option.
Then I'll test that non systemd based images still work (I see no reaseon why
it wouldn't).
Then I'll update the deb build (minor update is needed (deps and list of files
to include))
Stay tuned.
Cheers,
Olivier.

Olivier – Looks great ! Let me know when you have something to test – I’m still
using RHEL 6.
Thanks

Subject: [sisuite-users] SystemImager NG: it works :-)
Hi,
I've finaly updated systemimager to work with host OS binaries instead of
rebuilding everything.
This means that now, the initrd template and the default initrd and kernel are
generated using dracut and I only build 3 components: cx_freeze, udpcast and
bittorrent client. All other binaries are taken from the host OS and are thus
in sync with kernel and drivers (which was not the case in previous release
were binaries expected to run with boel kernel 3.7.5 were built on a totaly
different kernel and in some circumstance were crashing or failing to built.
This is past.
I've not yet pushed to git my changes, because I must do some more testing, but
the most difficult things are fixed.
things that still need to be addressed:
- buzybox rpm not available on centos7: do we build it or used standard tools
- need to fix list of binaries that we need
- test.
I hope to release a test rpm in less than 2 weeks, maybe this Friday if I have
tilme.
Best regards,
Olivier.
