Requirements: - make post-install changes to the images before distribution - specify partition table type - create users on the image
Are there other requirements for openqa images?
For some of the images what we primarily need is some specific partition table / layout, not any particular contents; as you say it may not make sense to do that with the same tool, but that is one of the openQA requirements.
Just to make sure I was being clear - I was referring to the empty disk images (embedded updates.img, embedded ks, freespace etc. - the stuff that's only using guestfish) that are made with createhdds.sh, not the installed image. If I'm understanding correctly, it's the installed images (minimal, desktop) that would be most useful to rebuild on a regular basis - did I misunderstand something? Do all the images for openqa need to come from the same tool? I suspect that the guestfish "(mostly) empty disk" methods could be run just about anywhere at most once a release.
That being said, it sounds like precise partitioning is another requirement.
