Minor nit: currently, the icicle(pkg manifest) xml config is spit out to the stdout. Do you think a print to file option helps? (Though this can be done with a bit of bash i/o redirection...)
Right. Actually, what I think might be a good thing is to keep the default as it is (write ICICLE to stdout), but then add an option to write to a file if the user wants. I'll add an option both to oz-install and oz-generate-icicle to do that.
Yes, that makes sense. thanks.
I've now added this to the git repository, so it should make the 0.6.0 release.
Per IRC discussion(on #aeolus) , the timing with virt-install(4-5 min) / oz-install(9-10 min) is interesting. If this can be worked on , batch installs with oz can also be quickened. Thanks for your time..
Right. Part of the speed problem is all of the manipulations that Oz does to the ISO image. If we can eliminate that, we could speed up the builds. The --initrd-inject flag to virt-install looks interesting; I'll look at that when I get some free time and think about how we could use something similar in Oz.
Thanks again,
