Yesterday I've send following mail to Ed. Maybe it is also useful for other poeple so I also send it to the list. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry for my late response ;) made this a few month ago.I wrote this script for my needs. These scripts are far from finished, but I hope they help you to find the necessary steps for a more general solution.
At the moment, I have no time to promote the project. I've attached my current results.On my system I'm using apt-cacher-ng. if you don't do this, you have to change the auto/config file and remove --apt-http-proxy line or change it to your needs.
I build my live image with hypervisor 4.1 and kernel 3.2-0-3 if you want other options you can change the --linux-packages line. In my package list file: config/package-lists/my.list.chrootI've added many packages. Some of them are needed some are only useful for me.
The whole magick happens in the config/hooks/101-copy-needed-files.binary file.
This is the place where you see what I'm doing to make an xen-image. ;)
I copy the hypervisor out of chroot in binary folder.
replace - with _ characters
recreate syslinux / isolinux files
and use the mboot.c32 package...( this makes it possible
to use xen without the need for grub as bootloader).
