bib: add a new `gce` image type (COMPOSER-2358) #646

Open mvo5 opened 2 weeks ago

mvo5 commented 2 weeks ago

This commit adds a new image type raw-tgz that contains a tar file with the raw image inside. This was requested by GCP.

See also https://github.com/osbuild/images/pull/923 This will need https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild/pull/1886 first.

Hi @mvo5, do we still need this image type exposed if it's just a middle type of GCP image? Thanks.

Thanks - I honestly don't know, I'm not 100% what the use-case is and the name raw-tgz is just a strawman for now. I'm happy to tweak how this is exposed to the user. Is there a github issue or jira ticket to read more about the background?
