What’s new?
Chisel has some exciting news!!
chisel info: a new inspection command to let you ask for information about packages and slices that are available for a certain chisel-release. Give it a try! For example: chisel info openssl or chisel info --release ubuntu-22.04 python3.10_core
The Chisel Manifest: a long-awaited feature, Chisel can now record the paths and slices you install in a dedicated manifest file within your chiselled filesystem. To try it, you must install the base-files_chisel.
Here’s an example:
mkdir rootfs && chisel cut --root rootfs base-files_chisel openssl_bins
and then you’ll find the manifest at rootfs/var/lib/chisel/manifest.wall 
You look into this manifest with zstd -d -c rootfs/var/lib/chisel/manifest.wall, and there you’ll find all the information you need to generate other artifacts, such as an SBOM!
These two new features will be released in the new Chisel version soon.
New Chisel slices:
- ocl-icd-libopencl1
- squashfs-tools
- fonts-ubuntu
- xz utils
- distro-info-data
- ubuntu-keyring
- ffmpeg dependencies
- dpkg and dependencies
- perl
- libnotify4
