Distrobuilder 1.1 has been released

20.08.2020

Introduction

The distrobuilder team is proud to announce its initial release, distrobuilder 1.1!

This release's highlight is the introduction of VM image building support following LXD's introduction of VM support.

As part of this, distrobuilder also now relies on overlayfs to store deltas while building images (rather than attempting to undo changes).

On top of those two changes, this release also fixes a variety of issues in the different distro source drivers as needed when URLs and files change.

The full list of commits is available below:
