[elbe-devel] Getting arbitrary files from a project using 'elbe initvm'

[Lukasz Walewski]

Hi,

The standard 'elbe initvm submit' invocation results in the following list [1] of output files:

elbe-report.txt
licence.txt
log.txt
root.sfs
source.xml
validation.txt

However, I need to extract some additional build artifacts as well, such as kernel image, initramfs, etc. This can be accomplished by switching from 'elbe initvm' to 'elbe control' interface and using: 'create_project, build, wait_busy and get_file' sequence of commands.

Switching to the lower-level 'elbe control' interface is necessary, in order to capture the correct <build-dir> directory needed by 'get_file', which is emitted only by 'elbe control create_project' but not available through 'elbe initvm submit'.

My question: is it possible to extract arbitrary files from <build-dir>/target without resort to 'elbe control get_file' but rather by extending list [1] (e.g. by specifying the additional files/paths in the XML file) and using the convenient 'elbe initvm submit'?

An alternative would be to make 'elbe initvm submit --keep-files' output the <build-dir>, which could then be used in subsequent 'elbe control get_file' commands.

Best regards,
Lukasz
