Detailed Description

Freebox Delta has virtualisation support and allow to install some liniux distribution. If we want to provide them a mageia 9 image to have it proposed by default we need to build aarch64 (arm64/armv8) cloud images: qcow2 images that boot with EFI, and have cloud-init enabled.


Why it would be good for Mageia to do it

It will allow us to have mageia provided as default in Freebox Delta.


Test case

we can test our images before by selecting it on the webinterface.

The images should start "out of the box" on a freebox Delta. For development phase, tests can be done using Qemu virtual manager.
