SimpleSystemImageBuild

SimpleSystemImageBuild task

The simplesystemimagebuild task implements the SystemImageBuild interface except that it expects a single entry in the list of partitions: the entry for the root filesystem (thus with a mountpoint of /).

The task computes dynamic metadata as:

• subject: suite name in the first bootstrap_repositories

• parameter_summary: subject (architecture-variant)

• runtime_context: $architecture:$variant:$extra_packages of bootstrap_options

• configuration_context: architecture of bootstrap_options

In terms of compliance with the SystemBootstrap interface, the bootstrap phase only uses a single repository but the remaining repositories are enabled after the bootstrap.

This task is implemented with the help of the debefivm-create tool.
