[lxc-devel] OpenSUSE seed containers...

Stéphane (et al)...

Here are the seed containers I promised you for OpenSUSE to go with that
template update I shipped in a little bit ago.

There are three sets of two tarballs (one each per arch i686 / x86_64).

These two can be used to prime /var/cache/lxc

opensuse-13.1-cache-i686.tgz
opensuse-13.1-cache-x86_64.tgz

These two are minimal OpenSUSE containers as created by lxc-create in an
OpenSUSE container of the appropriate arch.  It includes the rootfs and
config file.

opensuse-13.1-i686.tgz
opensuse-13.1-x86_64.tgz

These two are beefed up containers with packages added that will allow
these containers to build LXC rpms (they were used to create the
lxc-1.0.4 rpm's I used to build these containers - some tinkering of
lxc.spec was required), install the rpm's and use them to build
additional opensuse containers from within the containers.

opensuse-13.1-chainbuild-i686.tgz
opensuse-13.1-chainbuild-x86_64.tgz

The packages that were added to create the later two was as follows...

zypper install sudo make rpmbuild libcap libcap-devel docbook2X graphviz python3-devel lua-devel python3 vim yum /usr/bin/xsltproc build

That will "make rpm" on a pre-autoconfed and pre-configured directory.
I couldn't locate aclocal so autogen.sh hurled chunks on me.  But, I
could do an autogen in the host and rsync the src directory to the
containers so I really didn't care.

The tarballs fairly large.  The first 4 are a little better than 110MB
and the later two are just shy of 400MB each.

A 3rd generation port run was performed on x86_64 confirming that the
resulting containers would build containers identical to the containers
from the 2nd generation port run.

I'm copying them up to my web site now.  It's going to take some time so
it may be hours before all 6 are present.  You can get a head start
downloading as the cache set are there now.
