Re: [Libguestfs] cloud-init in virt-builder images

This is extremely helpful.  I only discovered virt-builder while debugging the issue with ipv6 I reported a few days ago.  Great little tool!

The ones from SUSE are built using their build system.  We'd like other distros to build there own images for us, but no others do so far. You can set up your own virt-builder repos, and populate them with images from wherever you like, and if you want also disable the official virt-builder repo.  This will give you complete control over what images get built.  Have a look at the files in /etc/virt-builder/repos.d, and the man page.
