Hello,
as part of the delivery of the OBS Light project which aims at simplifying
access to OBS for people who needs to run project with mixed private and public
repositories, we are happy to release the first version an Imager appliance.
IMG (Image Me Give) is a project initiated by Nokia. It is a small python
client/server application suite which manages the supervision of the MIC2 image
creation following the submission of a ks file by the user.
Compare to a command Mic2, Imager appliance provides you with a pre configured
Mic2 with associated Bootsrap for IA and ARM architectures and a web interface
to simplified usage.
Out prepackaged version are delivered as a OpenSUSE appliance and are available
from Suse Studio.
You will find them here :
http://susegallery.com/a/e0uuBG/meego-imager
The appliance are available under various native and ready to run virtual
machines. We assume that you know who to run a VM on your system.
The User manual for Imager appliance is hosted on the MeeGo Wiki here :

If you want to build your own version of Imager you can check our technical info
wiki page here :

Your feedback is welcome.
Thanks for this work Ronan - much appreciated :)
The objective is to have the installation instructions be:
zypper in <component>
So where you have things like
zypper --non-interactive in python-django
zypper --non-interactive in python-django-south
I'd class those as bugs in the packaging - we'll take a look.
Equally I think it's totally wrong for users to have to apply patches like the
ones you mention - lets find a way to get those into the main branch.... and
please bring them up on the mailing list or irc before putting them in an
"installation guide"; we'd much rather see them fixed properly.
The config and overview is also really useful - and I like the image test
section at the bottom, I'll get Vivek to add something to our build tests.
One thing I'm really worried about is keeping this kind of page up-to-date. For
that reason we've started to move the docs to the code and manage them under
git. They are published at : http://autodoc.meego.com/ and in particular
http://autodoc.meego.com/mint/imager/
Those docs should eventually be updated automatically by BOSS when a package is
published or released. This also means that when you have a particular package
installed, your local docs match the version of code you have.
What *is* needed is more general overview documentation as you have written.
Hopefully we can link out to the relevant SkyNET and BOSS installations too.
Anyhow, we'll work on taking your config content into the git docs and hopefully
we can trim the page right down to make it even easier to follow.
(Of course, git patches are welcome too, and will be preferred eventually:
