Hi,
This patchset contains various improvements for the image creation functionality
made by Patchick Ohly during his work on bug #9076:
- added support for zip compression
- fixed dependency calculation for conversion chaining
- converted vmdk/vdi/qcow2 image types into conversion commands
- renamed COMPRESSION variables to CONVERSION as the term "compression"
is no longer accurate
- prioritized specialized image creation methods over using conversion chaining
The changes look reasonable to me. However, it would be good to hear other
people opinions as some changes are quite complex.
The following changes since commit 912e372bd3097b1475df2689f9aec88dd3198976:
scripts/lib/bsp/kernel.py: force patching when branch is machine branch is re-use (2016-05-06 10:32:24 +0100)
