Working With Distros

The ‘distros’ resource defines distroitectures that the workers support. A distro is the base for creating releases, and build targets. It is a simple identifier for the Vendor of the distribution (i.e. redhat, fedora, ubuntu)

Distros are system wide, and configured by the system administrator.

Creating an Distro

$ mf distro create -l redhat --display-name "RedHat"

Updating an Distro

$ mf distro update redhat --display-name "RedHat Enterprise Linux"

Deleting an Distro

$ mf distro delete redhat

Listing Distros

$ mf distro listall
fedora
redhat
solaris
ubuntu

$ mf distro listall -f linux
fedora
redhat
ubuntu

Note: The listall -f/–filter option matches on common members of the resource such as label, and in this case display name.
