+#!/bin/bash
+# Create an openSUSE image with lvm on dm-crypt partition
+# 
+# Theory of operation:
+#  This script uses zypper from the host to resolve dependencies 
+#  for zypper which runs within the appliance. If zypper on the host
+#  is too old, it will be unable to handle repo data from 13.1:
+#    http://lists.opensuse.org/zypp-devel/2013-11/msg00000.html
+#    "[zypp-devel] Package conflicting with itself"
+#  For this reason zypper from 12.3 can be used to install the pattern
+#  of the final repo.
+#  First the dependencies of zypper are resolved, the required packages
+#  are downloaded and extracted with unrpm. Now the guest is started and
+#  the partitions in the diskimage are prepared. Then the extracted
+#  package content is copied into the guest. Once that is done zypper
+#  inside the guest will install the base pattern and a few extra packages.
+#  Finally the bootloader grub is configured. Once all that is done
+#  kvm is started. If all goes well a login prompt appears.
+#  The password for the crypted partition is "123456".
+#  The password for root is "root".
+#  The guest has also network access to the outside.
+#
+# Expected runtime: ca. 200 seconds
+# Requires at least 1.24.5 because this includes the required crypt modules
+#
+# Expected output:
+# guest should start
+# no "obvious" errors should be shown during the disk operation
+# at the end kvm is started with the generated disk image
+# login should be possible
