Support generating cpio archives

Open theoparis opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

My use case is running qemu-system-riscv64 with -initrd. I don't want a disk image in the form of qcow2 since I don't know if nixos-generators supports outputting a zstd-compressed qcow2 image (with qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compression_type=zstd). I guess zstd compression could be a separate issue instead...

Another use case of this could be building a fastboot boot.img with a root filesystem tarball.
