The console attribute in the bootloader section was used to
target both, output and input console setup using a space separator.
However, there can be multiple consoles specified for output
and input consoles and that turns the idea to handle both in
one attribute into a mess. This commit drops the console attribute
and offers two new attributes output_console and input_console which
can define multiple consoles each using space as a separator.
For example:
<bootloader ... output_console="console serial" input_console="console"/>
This change comes with a schema version bump to v8.4
An automatic XSL transformation template for the old console
attribute into the new output_console and input_console
attributes is also part of this commit.
This Fixes#2886
With dnf5 there is a successor for dnf but there will also
be a transition period where there will be both, the former
dnf and the new dnf5 available. For a clear distinction
between the two we got the recommendation from the RedHat
team to support both in different namespaces. This commit
now implements a backward compatible change for kiwi which
includes the following modifications:
* XSL stylesheet for automatic schema transformation from
<packagemanager>dnf</packagemanager> to
<packagemanager>dnf4</packagemanager>
* Code copy of dnf API interface from
PackageManagerDnf -> PackageManagerDnf4
RepositoryDnf -> RepositoryDnf4
* Deprecation of former Dnf API interface
The code change here will force developers to adapt
their code if they used RepositoryDnf / PackageManagerDnf
classes in their python code. After this change developers
will be dropped into a raise condition which exits kiwi
at the time of the call. Related to Issue #2300
and Issue #2262
A vmx image is the same disk as an oem just without the dracut
repart/resize feature. This difference is better handled with
an oemconfig parameter <oem-resize> which allows to switch resize
on or off. The extra image type vmx will be dropped and an XSLT
stylesheet automatically transforms a vmx description to be a
oem image with the resize feature switched off.
This Fixes#1425
The bootloader settings are handled through attributes in the
type element. Over the years some attributes were added and
there are requests for more settings. Therefore the bootloader
setup deservers its own section. With this commit the schema
changes from v7.1 to v7.2 and moves bootloader, bootloader_console
boottimeout and zipl_targettype into a new bootloader subsection
below type. The commit also adds an auto transformation template
such that customers don't have to change their image descriptions.
This is related to Issue #1401
With the move of the boot descriptions in its own package
the kiwi search path needs to be adapted to look for boot
descriptions in /usr/share/kiwi/custom_boot. In addition
a runtime check to exit early if the boot description could
not be found or is not specified will be provided. Related
to Issue #576
