They are now! The file name format is: $appliance-$build_date-$branch-hyperv.$format Format conversion and archiving is automated on a large instance with export formats: ova -> vmware vhd -> xen qcow2 -> kvm vhd -> hyperv Build job: http://jenkins.cloudstack.org/view/All/job/build-systemvm-master But I'm yet to try one of xen or kvm templates. The bugs would be mostly fixable in postinstall.sh For exporting xen images from raw image, I had to build xen (for a library) and vhd-util from blktap2/tools. Will post a blog on that exercise. I've fixed the partition as regular one with different partitions for /var, /opt, /usr, /tmp, /boot, /home, please see the partitions sizes, advise if we want to change them: (syntax: min. size, priority, max. size) https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=ab63a433ecbf60e18ad6cbcb0353c61fa432bcdc Chiradeep, we can copy stuff inside the appliance using veewee vbox ssh <command> or scping before we halt using veewee vbox halt <machine>. How do you want to use the config.dat, I can copy it inside using these commands. For the signature FIXME, I can append the md5 checksums. Regards. >
