SYNOPSIS¶

cb-image -h | --help

    [--local]
    [--profile=<name>...]
    [-- <kiwi_custom_build_command_args>...]

DESCRIPTION¶

cb-image - builds an image using KIWI. Inside of the image_description_path a KIWI image description is expected. The process of building the image is two fold:

Build the image
Bundle image result file(s) into an rpm package

The created image root tree will be deleted after the image build. The reason for this is that building an image should always start from a clean state to guarantee the root tree integrity with respect to the used package repositories
