Event TimelineComment Actions hi Moin, I'd like this for releng so we only need emulators/qemu-tools on the builder machines. It allows us to qemu-img convert -S 512b -p -O qcow2 -c -o compression_type=zstd start.raw end.qcow2 atm zstd is only included in the nox11 and larger flavours, we dont want the graphical toolbox along for the ride. |
