The configure will still require for febootstrap or debootstrap, and
You'll have to modify the configure.ac file so that it doesn't look
for febootstrap. This is a simple change. Or we could do this:
It would be nice if there would be a configure option to tell the
build
process to use a specified appliance.
.. if you want to supply a patch.
How/where do i find the specific requirements of libguestfs
appliance
so that I could try to build a gentoo appliance meeting these requirements?
Look at appliance/packagelist[.in]
