Machine-readble Cloud-image List
Hi there, I would like to write a script to download the CentOS
generic cloud images with the intention of making them eventually available to oVirt users via the oVirt public Glance repository.
For that purpose I need to:
1. list the CentOS generic cloud images
2. list mirrors from where I could potentially download those images
I could try to parse the HTML here [1], but I’d rather just get the lists from somewhere in some machine readble format if possible.
So is this information or parts of it available in some machine-readable format somewhere?
[1]: http://cloud.CentOS.org/CentOS/7/images/
Thanks, Barak

in the early days I had a json file that had the details in there, but it was dropped almost a year ago. If you file a requst at bugs.CentOS.org and point me at it ( ideally assign the issue to me ), I
can work out the required bits.
What sort of info would you expect to see in this beyond
– filename
– date of last upates
– CentOS ver
– arch
– file format
– sha256um

Thanks for the quick response!
I’ve opened a request here: https://bugs.CentOS.org/view.php?id730, but it does not seem I can assign it to you directly.
What about the mirror list? is that already available or does it need to be requested as well?
We’ve had a longstanding request for this in Fedora too. It’d be awesome if we could coordinate in format and location. See https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-May/210705.html https://fedorahosted.org/cloud/ticket/93

For Fedora its easy AFAIK. I can just query koji like here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID!547
E.g. koji -q latest-build –type=image f24-updates-candidate Fedora-Cloud-Base
