Feature changed by: Arvin Schnell (aschnell) Feature #318198, revision 3 Title: Use redesigned libstorage in kiwi Requested by: Arvin Schnell (aschnell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The redesigned libstorage should be used by kiwi. For that libstorage needs a few new features: 1) A mode where disks are created as loop based files and all disk operations work on those files. We have to define what operations are required in this special mode. 2) After a failure during commit libstorage should try to revert changes already done, e.g. umount filesystems, deactivate devices. Otherwise build hosts might be left in an unusable state. 3) Perl bindings are required since kiwi is written in Perl.
