qcow2 image output

Can slim produce qcow2 images?
It currently does not, but it should be possible to plug-in to a utility like qemu-img.
@cbluth We're in the process of addressing this with some code that will allow providing format preference when a provider might have multiple options: slim build --format=qcow2.
@cbluth We just merged a patch that allows building qcow2 (#37), which allows you to specify a format flag (-f) to build additional formats. In your case, slim build [image] -p kvm -f qcow2 will add a slim.qcow2 to the image's registry entry ($HOME/.slim/registry/[image]). Note that qcow2 is currently only available when building for the KVM provider, since it requires qemu-img to convert.
Let us know if you run into any issues!
i will check it out!
Closing issue since we now support qcow2 output. Can revisit any problems with new issue. Thanks!
