Rewrite febootstrap as a general supermin appliance building tool.

2010-12-05T09:33:25+00:00

This complete rewrite of the building tools turns febootstrap
into a general purpose, cross-distro, supermin appliance only
build tool.

There is now only one program 'febootstrap' which is used to
build a supermin appliance from a list of packages.

Normal appliances are not supported.

The tools are incompatible with febootstrap 2.x (use the
febootstrap-2.x branch from git to get the old package).

Implement ext2 output module.

Pull in febootstrap-supermin-helper (C version) from libguestfs.

2010-05-14T10:41:28+00:00

This commit also pulls in the automake C dependencies and gnulib.

febootstrap-supermin-helper is modified so that it has the
--kmods option (to read the whitelist, from the old shell script),
and so that it can read supermin appliances composed of multiple
parts from out of a directory.

Also: Updates to documentation.

REMOVE upx (pack-executables) option.
