Description

This is a minimal config file for kiwi tool to generate an opensuse tarball than can be later chrooted into.

You will need:

• opensuse installation
• kiwi package installed

build.sh or build-tb.sh starts the build process

specific settings are in config/config.xml file (e.g. root password) , or config-tb/config.xml config/config.sh is executed in generated system environment for post-processing. Tweak it to your liking.

clean.sh cleans the build dir to enable rebuilding from scratch.

in short - run build{,-tb}.sh. If all goes well, you will end up with a tarball in tbz/ subdirectory after a couple of minutes.

the resulting files should end up in system-image or system-image-tb

Variants

Currently there are scripts for Leap and Tumbleweed. Adjust as necessary, they are designed to produce tarballs by default.
