I'm quite interested in this topic; it has been on the Oz TODO list for many years. From that perspective, thanks a lot for kicking this off. I will mention two things:
I'll definitely take a look at this in the New Year. |
Create a new get_osinfo method in the module of every OS, with a global factory method in GuestFactory: it makes it possible to associate a short ID of libosinfo OSes to each of the supported OSes in oz. Signed-off-by: Pino Toscano <[email protected]>
Try to use libosinfo (if available) to get the URLs of install trees and ISOs of the supported OSes, using a libosinfo short ID provided by all the OS classes. Add <osinfo> and <variant> child tags of <os> to override (or set) the short ID, and its libosinfo variant. This makes the <url> and <iso> child tags of <install> optional, as they can be determined automatically from libosinfo, at least from the majority of cases.

This is the start of integration with libosinfo, at least for getting the URLs of install trees and ISOs (#38). The libosinfo usage is still optional, so without it URLs are still required. The implementation allow changing/setting the libosinfo short ID, and the variant for it (some distros use it).
The implementation and the UX may not be the best, but that can be improved :) So let's start a discussion about libosinfo, and whether can be unconditionally used, and how.
