Heh, this should be an easy fix them. Let me know where the test
branch is and I'll see about testing it out if you like.

Soren> Hi,

Soren> When I try to run python-vm-builder 0.12.2-0ubuntu3 on Lucid, it now complains about the --tmpfs=- option not existing. This used to work in previous versions on Lucid. Here's the error from an example usage:

>> sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite=karmic --flavour=virtual --arch=amd64 --mirror=http://192.168.1.3:9999/ubuntu --libvirt=qemu:///system --tmpfs=- --ip=192.168.1.54 --part=vmbuilder.partition --templates=mytemplates --user=john --name=john --pass=john --addpkg=vim-nox --addpkg=unattended-upgrades --addpkg=acpid --raw=/dev/virtmachs/vm4 --firstboot=boot.sh --mem=256 --hostname=vm4 --bridge=br0
Soren> Usage: vmbuilder hypervisor distro [options]

Soren> vmbuilder: error: no such option: --tmpfs

Soren> Thanks,
