'expand' is really the root filesystem. It's essential if you want to automatically resize the filesystem *offline* (ie. without using things like cloud-init). However you can omit it from the format and virt-builder just won't resize the root fs. > - The type of the checksum is not specified in the conf file Actually it is: http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html#creating-and-signing-the-index-file It just defaults to sha512 unless specified otherwise. > - I'm missing a stream like scheme; a gloabl identifier to be able to sort > images according to a version/build-date You can add extra fields, they will be ignored by virt-builder.
