kiwi-ng image info help
Provides information about the specified image description. If no
specific info option is provided the command just lists basic information
about the image which could also be directly obtained by reading the image
XML description file. Specifying an extension option like
resolve-package-list will cause a dependency resolver to run over the
list of packages and thus provides more detailed information about the image
description.
- --add-repo=<source,type,alias,priority>
- Add repository with given source, type, alias and priority.
- --description=<directory>
- The description must be a directory containing a kiwi XML description and
optional metadata files.
- --ignore-repos
- Ignore all repository configurations from the XML description. Using that
option is usually done with a sequence of --add-repo options otherwise
there are no repositories available for the processing the requested image
information which could lead to an error.
- --resolve-package-list
- Solve package dependencies and return a list of all packages including
their attributes e.g size, shasum, and more.
- --print-xml
- Print image description in XML format. The given image description is read
in, transformed internally to XML and send to the XSLT stylesheet
processor. From there the result gets validated using the RelaxNG schema
and the schematron rules. This result data will then be displayed. The
typical use case for this command is to turn an old image description to
the latest schema.
- --print-yaml
- Behaves the same like --print-xml except that after validation the
result data will be transformed into the YAML format and displayed. Due to
this processing the command can be used for different operations:
- Conversion of a given image description from or into different formats.
It's required to install the anymarkup python module for this to
work. The module is not a hard requirement and loaded on demand. If not
available and a request to convert into a format different from XML is
made an exception will be thrown.
- Update of an old image description to the latest schema
