Never mind, I'm a moron who doesn't read enough and notice the first
link, which is to your blog, which tells me exactly what to do.  I'm
such a jerk...


Now, using version 0.12.4.r453, I get the following when I run my
wrapper script which just builds an LVM volume and tweaks some
settings in the config files:

    > sudo ./vm-maker.sh vm3 53 john
      Logical volume "vm3" created
    vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite=karmic --flavour=virtual --arch=amd64 \
    --mirror=http://192.168.1.3:9999/ubuntu -o --libvirt=qemu:///system \
    --tmpfs=- --ip=192.168.1.53 --gateway=192.16.1.254 --part=vmbuilder.partition \
    --templates=mytemplates --user=john --name=john --pass=john \
    --addpkg=vim-nox --addpkg=unattended-upgrades --addpkg=acpid \
    --raw=/dev/virtmachs/vm3 --firstboot=/var/vm/vm3/boot.sh --mem=256 \
    --hostname=vm3 --bridge=br0 \
    Usage: vmbuilder hypervisor distro [options]

    vmbuilder: error: no such option: --gateway
    Error!  VM vm3 not created properly.

which is annoying, because it now wants to use the -gw=x.x.x.x
format.  Can we please add back in the --gateway=x.x.x.x format as a
synonym?

Should I file a big report?

Thanks,
John
