The tool is packaged as a live CD, based on a Fedora 8 distribution, and using livecd-creator to build the ISO.
Main page: http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v/ Source repo: http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-p2v--develI'm posting here to see if anyone has any comments about the way I did this live CD. The kickstart script uses a rather complex %post section, which adds a few files to the filesystem, instead of building RPMs or modifying existing RPMs.
I've also investigated how to attach stuff to the end of the ISO image, and the way I've come up with allows me to update an ISO with a new script quite easily, and much more quickly than waiting for livecd-creator to rerun. This great (a) for rapid development and (b) to send new updates to users without forcing them to download another 170 MB ISO.
I'd like to package this for Fedora. Obviously I don't want to package the binary live CD, but instead package the kickstart file and some tools to allow people to easily build custom live CDs. If anyone has any ideas or examples of this I'd be interested to hear.
