Re: [Libguestfs] question about support for almalinux or centOS stream images? [EXTERNAL]

Hi Rich, thanks for the confirmation. I am looking into see how the cached images that are downloaded initially are made, e.g. $HOME/.cache/virt-builder/fedora-33.x86_64.2. I would like build one so that I can test out alma linux. Is this a dd image? Looks like: $ parted fedora-33.x86_64.2 GNU Parted 3.2 Using /home/pb/.cache/virt-builder/fedora-33.x86_64.2 Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.

It shouldn't be too hard, basically searching down all existing references to CentOS and Scientific Linux in the code and adding the new distro(s) alongside. I don't expect any special support beyond that should be needed. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://people.redhat.com/*rjones__;fg!!NVq9df...
