[opensuse-arm] AArch64 image format question
Hi, In http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/tumbleweed/images/ most images are in "*.install.tar.xz" format instead of "*.raw.xz"; except for vexpress64 and old EFI images (which should be wiped). It seems it is because it uses "installpxe=true" option in kiwi file. Am I right or wrong?

This is correct. Systems that support PXE installation get an install.tar.xz file built that contains the raw.xz file. In a perfect world, OBS would simply emit both files (install.tar.xz and raw.xz) as output of a PXE build, but this world isn't perfect ;).

Can the repackaging part emit 2 files? What I would like to have at the end of the day is a kiwi build that emits: JeOS-foo.install.tar.xz JeOS-foo.raw.xz where install.tar.xz contains everything necessary for PXE installation and raw.xz can be dumped on the disk directly.

sure, you can patch __createContainerBundle function of kiwi to do so. Just, you need to rename the files at least according to the bundle-id specified via CLI argument. Otherwise it will easily happen that files inside of OBS projects overwrite each other in the publish area. -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian@suse.de SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Marcus, do you think it'd be possible for us to somehow tell this kiwi function to emit both files in the PXE installation case? Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
