Hi guys:
I was talking to Andrea this morning
about how you need to rebuild the image tar file each time if you
make modifications to the image (if you're using the BitTorrent transport)
and I thought perhaps it might be a good idea to have a new program called
"si_chroot" (Andrea coined this) which is simply a wrapper to chroot but will
take note that you have made modifications to your image and then automatically
rebuild the image tarball and/or perform other operations for
you.
While I'm not sure if it is useful
for anything other than for the BitTorrent transport, I just thought I'd post it
here for comments.
Andrea found this tool which may be
useful in determining whether certain files have been modified:

One issue I see right off the bat is
that some times you want to install RPMs into the image, but you can't do that
in a chroot if the RPMs are not available inside the image
directory...
Cheers,
Bernard
