[systemd-devel] stacked extension not working

It indeed worked as squashfs image. Thanks for that.

It is not working as a folder though (portablectl --runtime attach
--extension=./stackupper ./base stackupper) This stuff should work on
folders too right? Should I open a ticket?

Also, when it works, the upper stack shows as detached. Isn't that wrong
too? Should I open a ticket?

root at osboxes:/home/osboxes/Development# portablectl attach --runtime
--extension $PWD/stackupper.raw $PWD/base.raw stackupper
(Matching unit files with prefixes 'stackupper'.)
Created directory /run/systemd/system.attached.
Created directory /run/systemd/system.attached/stackupper.service.d.
Written /run/systemd/system.attached/stackupper.service.d/20-portable.conf.
