RFS: febootstrap

Dear mentors, I'm looking for a sponsor for my package 'febootstrap'. As the name may suggest, it's a program like 'debootstrap' that bootstraps Fedora root filesystems. In reality, it's a smallish shell script around the 'yum' command (already in Debian), and uses fakeroot and fakechroot to do i

http://www.annexia.org/tmp/debian/ I've also uploaded libguestfs to the URL above. Now this is a much more tricky package than febootstrap. libguestfs home page: http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs/ It's a C library, but the source contains bindings to many different programming languages:

'febootstrap' is like 'debootstrap', but it bootstraps Fedora root filesystems. It's just a set of shell script wrappers around 'yum/rpm' (also in Debian now), and just like debootstrap it uses fakeroot and fakechroot so you don't need to be root. This isn't (yet) a request for sponsorship. Just
