This commit adds the possibility of clearing asny subcommand or
entrypoint. This is relevant for docker derived images, as they
inherit the configuration and it might lead to some bad behavior.
Allow network interface names to be filtered by the given
regular expression. The expression is handled by the bash
regexp operator. Interface names matching the rule will be
filtered out, all others stay. It is also possible to pass
the variable kiwi_oemnicfilter as kernel command line in a
PXE deployment. Fixes#245
This commit includes the root import feature. A `derived_from`
attribute has been included with the <type> section to make
reference to the image file to import. The image format to import
is assumed to be the same as the build type to import.
The current format supported is docker
Instead of creating a simple tarball the tools umoci and skopeo
from the docker tool chain are used to create official docker
images. Along with those tools more information to describe a
container has been added to the schema. A complete container
setup now consists of the following elements
<type image="docker">
<containerconfig name="..." maintainer="..." user="..." workingdir="...">
<entrypoint execute="command">
<argument name="option"/>
...
</entrypoint>
<subcommand execute="command">
<argument name="option"/>
...
</subcommand>
<expose>
<port number="..."/>
...
</expose>
<volumes>
<volume name="..."/>
...
</volumes>
<environment>
<env name="variable" value="value"/>
...
</environment>
<labels>
<label name="..." value="..."/>
...
</labels>
</containerconfig>

DNF is the package manager used on Fedora systems and will also most
likely replace yum for the next generation of RHEL. Along with the
implementation here an example JeOS image description for Fedora can
be found on: https://github.com/SUSE/kiwi-descriptions.
This Fixes#36
The type attribute force_mbr allows to convert a system selected
for use with a GPT to use an MBR (msdos table). The attribute
only takes effect on image configurations which would select the
GPT partitioner. This Fixes#236
If specified as such the bootloader configuration and
installation will be skipped. However the editbootinstall
and editbootconfig scripts will still be called. This
Fixes#235
spare_part receives a size value with an optional unit (M|G)
and is used for disk images to allow the creaton of a spare
partition of the configured size. Issue #234
The vboot firmware setup was a workaround on arm for the
chromebook platform several years ago. From a todays
perspective the setup and the way to boot would be different
and obsoletes the special case implementation. Thus this
is gone now. Related to Issue #234
The schema defintions for kiwi v8 still contained the
product schema definitions aka instsource which is no
longer supported by this version of kiwi. Building
SUSE products is done with the kiwi v7 code base and
will most probably be handled by an extra product
builder tool in the future maintained and developed
by the buildservice team. We would be proud if the api
of the kiwi v8 code base can be helpful for the product
builder in the future
The packages subsection <ignore> only accepted a package
name to become ignored. However a <package> subsection
to install a package allows for an arch selection. The
same should apply to ignore a package. In addition the
allowed content for the arch attribute has been changed
from simple text to a regular expression. Allowed is a
comma seperated list of reserved architecture words like
they are displayed by uname -m
In preparation to support creation of native docker containers the
way docker likes it, the kiwi schema has to be adapted. So far there
was no way to specify additional metadata information for containers.
With this commit a new section called <containerconfig> is provided.
containerconfig is a subsection of the type and only allowed for
the docker image type. This constraint is checked via a schematron
rule. In addition an xslt stylesheet moves the currently existing
container attribute, which was used to set a name for the container,
into the new containerconfig section as name attribute
For the use case to add additional image description information
an extension section exists which allows to add custom section
and attributes. Custom XML information must be connected to a
namespace in order to avoid conflicts with the existing
structure. The following example shows how to place additional
XML information:
<image>
<extension xmlns:my_plugin="http://www.my_plugin.com">
<my_plugin:my_feature>
<my_plugin:title name="cool stuff"/>
</my_plugin:my_feature>
</extension>
</image>
Indicate if the target disk for oem images is deployed to a
removable device e.g a USB stick or not. This only affects
the EFI setup if requested and in the end avoids the creation
of a custom boot menu entry in the firmware of the target
machine on first boot. This is related to bnc#993130
The attribute allows to specify if the root filesystem should
be set to read-only if it is created as a btrfs snapshot.
The option only has an effect if a btrfs snapshot is used as
root filesystem. Fixes bnc#1000080
If an extra boot partition is requested it should be added
to the fstab file according to the device persistency setup
or the default uuid persistency type
The <except> section was formerly used as part of the <split>
section. kiwi no longer supports static split images in favour
of overlay systems based on e.g overlayfs. Fixes#120
Now each user item may or may not have a groups attribute. The
groups attribute is a comma separated list of group names. If
present the first group name will be the login or primary group,
if not present, the underlying toolchain will assign the default
login group for that user.
Some bootloader e.g grub supports graphics, text and also
serial consoles to hand over the output of the bootloader
menu. With this patch we allow to customize the console
used by the bootloader. So far only grub makes use of the
new attribute
<type ... bootloader_console="serial|console|gfxterm"/>

Starting to support Debian based distributions also means to support
the deb repository types. This commit adds the RepositoryApt class
to handle deb repositories for image building. Related to #37
Triggered by the firmware="vboot" setup an EFI setup plus a
raw partition without filesystem is created as first partition.
The size of the partition can be controlled by the vbootsize
attribute. The vboot feature is used by the arm architecture
to provide a space in the partition table for custom code as
required by e.g the chromebook. The final customization of the
vboot space is board specific and can't be implemented in a
generic way in kiwi. For finalizing the vboot space the script
hooks editbootconfig and editbootinstall can be used
This is related to Issue #17
Embedding an MBR into a GPT is required for a collection of
boards, e.g arm rapberry PI. The kiwi configuration provides
a new attribute called
<type ... gpt_hybrid_mbr="true|false"
which allows to control if the GPT should be hybrid or not.
On build procedures which do not create a GPT the attribute
has no effect. This references Issue #17
As of today only the kiwi initrd could be used with an image
build. This commit adds a new initrd_system attribute and
allows to select between kiwi and dracut as initrd system.
Please note the dracut initrd does not support all features
of the kiwi initrd. This fixes#25
