I've been discussing that with Anders for over a week and we agreed that checking the return code of the Guest Additions installation is just a waste of time. It seems to return 1 no matter what happen, like: - It has been launched without administrator privileges: OK - Requirements like bzip2 and gcc are missing: OK - Kernel headers or dkms are missing: OK - It was installed successfully, but without X11 drivers: ??? There isn't even a way (at least until the current 4.3.x version) to disable the X11 drivers installation. The `--nox11` option, just "Do not spawn an xterm". And the worst part: until the version 4.2.x, it returned 0 if it could be installed with no errors beside this one about the missing X11 drivers. This means that this verification will most likely fail on any other version older than 4.3.x, preventing the build from finishing in a successful way. So, we can't really rely on its return code whatsoever. That said, neither him or me likes the idea of ignoring the return code of a command. It just happens that we can't do anything about that. |

bootstrap-vz
bootstrap-vz is a bootstrapping framework for Debian. It is is specifically targeted at bootstrapping systems for virtualized environments. bootstrap-vz runs without any user intervention and generates ready-to-boot images for a number of virtualization platforms. Its aim is to provide a reproducable bootstrapping process using manifests as well as supporting a high degree of customizability through plugins.
bootstrap-vz was coded from scratch in python once the bash script architecture that was used in the build-debian-cloud bootstrapper reached its limits.
Documentation
The documentation for bootstrap-vz is available at andsens.github.io/bootstrap-vz. There, you can discover what the dependencies for a specific cloud provider are, see a list of available plugins and learn how you create a manifest.
