[Vmdebootstrap-devel] vmdb2: vmdebootstrap rewrite in progress

[Lars Wirzenius]

I've started rewriting vmdebootstrap, with the aim of a simpler,
cleaner, more flexible tool. The rewrite is named vmdb2 so it will be
possible to co-install it with vmdebootstrap. The code is here:

    http://git.liw.fi/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/vmdb2/

Once I'm able to make a bootable image with it, I'll make the first
release and publish a .deb package as well. Until then, it's easy
enough to run from the source tree.

Current status is that it builds a Debian image (assuming you're
running vmdb2 on amd64), but doesn't install a bootloader. My attempts
to get grub-install to work have resulted in my laptop's bootloader
being inadvertently reinstalled. If anyone would like to help with
that, I'd be most grateful.

Other than bootloaders, if you want to give it a try and tell me what
you think, it'd be nice. See README for a very short tutorial. I've
set replies to go to the debian-cloud list.

Happy hacking.
