This commit makes volid attribute also available for OEM images.
The installation media makes use of the volid value. Only posix

Fixes#811
Bundle a PDF version of the online documentation with the rpm package
build. Due to the complexity of getting a latex build environment into
the travis CI which does not take forever to install, the bundling of
a built PDF into the pypi archive has been skipped. Users installing
from pypi would need to install a latex env on their machine and
run make latexpdf from the installed bundle.
This Fixes#819
If the live iso is used as a disk on e.g USB sticks and
is configured to setup a persistent write space via the
initrd option rd.live.overlay.persistent, it's required
to find the disk device to create a write partition on
it.
This detection worked if the live iso is binary dumped
on the disk and bootet due to the hybrid support each
iso built by kiwi provides.
However if the live ISO deployment should not destroy
existing data on the disk there is an alternative setup
which uses grub's loopback support and puts the iso as a
file on some partition of the disk. In this mode the
kiwi-live dracut module failed to find the disk device
and could not setup a persistent write partition.
This commit refactors the snapper configuration for btrfs quota support
when btrfs_root_is_snapshot is enabled. The sysconfig file
/etc/sysconfig/snapper is now taken into consideration.
Fixes bsc#1093518
Some config files e.g etc/hosts needs to be temporary copied
from the buildsystem host to the image root system. This is
done by a custom copy with the .kiwi extension and a symlink
to that file. During the installation process the package
manager either overwrites the file or creates a .rpmnew variant.
In case a .rpmnew variant exists there is code in kiwi which
restores that .rpmnew variant to become the real file. However
that _restore_intermediate_config_rpmnew_variants() method
runs after overlay files has been applied to the system because
it's part of the final cleanup step. In order to preserve
an eventual overlay version of the file the .rpmnew variant
gets only restored if the real file does not exist.
This Fixes#807
The chapter: Building in a Self-Contained Environment holds
a fixed ruby version in the package install which was outdated.
It also still referenced the container as tar.xz but we have
changed to uncompressed containers by default a while back
kiwi defines a global Defaults.get_exclude_list_for_root_data_sync
method but it was not used in the scope of the filesystem builder.
Thus this builder was missing the exclusion of the .buildenv
file. This references Issue #422 and Fixes#814
The dracut modules like kiwi provides it should not be part of the
default install target. If kiwi gets installed from source or via
pip all dracut code gets installed on that system which is unwanted
and in the worst case leads to boot trouble next time this system
rebuilds its initrd via dracut. Therefore an extra Makefile target
which is used in the spec of an rpm but not in the install target
of setup.py is provided in this commit.
As a consequence the installation from pip will not install any
dracut modules on that system which is intentional. Installing from
source requires to run make install_dracut which if called assumes
the caller knows what he/she does :)
* Fixes the config file path if root is snapshot
* Uses the correct QGROUP="<group>" syntax
* Do not overwrite the config file if already present
Fixes bsc#1093518
As part of the deploy process in travis a bundle to pypi is
uploaded. The bundle is missing the compiled manual pages because
the doc_travis stage did not create them.
The live ISO should support a network reference. We are using
the Ata Over Ethernet protocol to achieve this. In combination
with pxe boot of the kernel/initrd a live iso can boot from
the network using the following parameter example:
root=live:AOEINTERFACE:e0.1 rd.kiwi.live.pxe
Export of the live iso file via AOE can be achieved using the
vblade toolkit which needs to be available on the exporting
system and compatible with the live operating system.
This Fixes#796
