Metadata for cloud images

I would really like to add metadata for the Fedora cloud images. This serves two purposes: (1) It provides a way to describe the cloud images available, in a human- and machine-friendly way. (2) It means that virt-builder will just work with the existing Fedora cloud images. The metadata format is very simple. Here is an example: http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/index.asc It is also described formally: http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html#create-the-templates and there is a verification tool in Fedora [virt-index-validate]. My question is: What process creates/uploads the cloud images, and how do we get it to add the metadata file? Whatever currently creates the CHECKSUM file could be modified to create the metadata file too. https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5805 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
