How to create CentOS8.2.zip? #49

Open devlocalca opened 4 years ago

devlocalca commented 4 years ago

What would I need to download, and what steps would I need to follow to recreate the CentOS8.zip that is downloadable here, except do this with the newest release of CentOS 8.2?

I want to run CentOS 8.2 under WSL,

thank you for the instructions.

@devlocalca I'm not the owner, or a contributor, but looks like the relevant files to figure that out are the .travis.yml and Makefile files. Should just need to update the Makefile and build, with the deps from the .travis.yml being installed first of course. Well and this I believe: wsldl.

@devlocalca You can also check this bash script: https://github.com/mishamosher/CentOS-WSL/blob/99cdb8a362b6359fc23b344e0f7ee44581cb4029/build.sh

It does not have much science to it, other than a couple specifics for the QCOW2 image handling logic.

Please note that the linked bash script does not recreate the CentOS 8 image available in this repo, as the one in this repo is based on the docker (container) CentOS 8 images, and the linked one is based on the "generic cloud" CentOS 8 images.

Also, wsldl is not a requirement, but it makes it easier to install the WSL instance and manage various settings related to it.

@mishamosher I ran across your repo yesterday around the time I commented, good stuff.
