mender-artifact is a host tool to generate update images
in the Mender artifact file format.
This package uses the binary archive from github because it bundles the
external dependencies.
Example usage:
$ mender-artifact write rootfs-image \
--update rootfs.ext4 \
--output-path rootfs.mender \
--artifact-name "release-v1.0.0" \
--device-type "beaglebone"
Above will generate a Mender artifact called "rootfs.mender"
containing the "rootfs.ext4" image along with meta-data.
One can read-out the meta-data with the following command:
$ mender-artifact read rootfs.mender
