Possibly.
Really we're looking for cloud images though (ie. *.qcow2), not
install ISOs or trees. I thought Pungi did both?
There are a few missing fields we require too:
- size of the disk image (especially when the image xz-compressed, we
need the uncompressed size in order to plan how to resize it)
- format of the disk image
- name of the root filesystem (so we can resize the image intelligently)
- cryptographically-secure checksum of the image
- libosinfo database key (so we know what emulated devices to present)
And the metadata should be GPG signed.
I've got an example here:
http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/index.asc
I'm not hung up on the specific format -- for Ubuntu they use a thing
called "SimpleStreams" which we implemented support for -- but it
needs to contain the same or a subset of that metadata.
Rich.
We have none of that info and its not yet on our radar.
is the list
of things we have coming up. I think there are some not documented as well as
they should be.
