That's my initial impression anyways Oh, I didn't look at the code, but I thought it was doing all the XML generation too. ie populate the chroot and configure the libvirt guest in the same manner that virt-install would do, and would hence benefit from sharing code. > Right now the tool is basically just a wrapper around skopeo; besides handling > virt-builder images, what else do you foresee the tool handling?

I'd expect it to be able to do bootstrapping of yum / dpkg into chroots at some point.
