I have released image-garden 0.4.2 with a number of new features. Please look at the much improved readme https://gitlab.com/zygoon/image-garden/-/blob/main/README.md?ref_type=heads as well as at the three news files: https://gitlab.com/zygoon/image-garden/-/blob/main/README.md?ref_type=heads
Given recent activity I may release 0.5.0 with a few extra features soon.
The snap package is already up-to-date. I will adjust packaging in Fedora and Debian shortly.
In the near future #ImageGarden will verify checksums of system images before using them. This should reduce random failures in CI, where interrupted download of a system image is confused as a complete. This was way overdue.
The PR is now being tested at
Verify SHA{512,256}SUMS of compatible images The main program gains a new helper command - download-with-sha{512,256}sums Data files gain new optional entry SHA{512,256}SUMS, which is populated with...
Thank you for the offer, but I would rather wait for official images to ensure that if someone uses #ImageGarden to get a test image for Leap 16, they will get experience that is representative of end users doing something.
I did a thing and you can now trivially run #spread integration tests with #ImageGarden and #GitHub actions

The world is again on fire but I take solace in my little success in software. A bubble for sure but also meaningful and satisfying.
I've added support for #AmazonLinux2 to #ImageGarden. The intent was originated by my colleague but his patches made my realize how terrible current codebase was, so I re-factored it a little and removed 2/3 of the code while making working with more systems way easier.
I can now test snaps on Amazon Linux, both edition 2 and 2023, both on my computer and in CI.
I have working support for using #ubuntu server images with #ImageGarden and not just one but any CPU architecture as well.
Need a ppc64le or s390x to test something?
I've released #ImageGarden 0.3 earlier today: https://gitlab.com/zygoon/image-garden/-/releases/v0.3
The snap package is already up-to-date. Updates to classic packages are coming shortly.
Highlights are support for Fedora 42 and Ubuntu 25.10
Given that it's somewhat hard to tell users about new features, I've added a new command to my image-garden project. The "image-garden news" command shows what's new in the latest release (or latest few) releases of the project.
