In zypper zypp.conf can be setup to prevent the installation
of %doc marked items from rpm packages. The <rpm-excludedocs>
section in the kiwi XML description is used to provide this
functionality. So far this feature is only implemented for

If a script or archive is specified with an absolute path
in the image description, kiwi should not assume this path
to exist below the image description directory but just take
the absolute path as it is. Fixes#70
An instance of XMLDescription can now optionally become
constructed with a path to an image description this
instance was derived from. This is currently used for
building the kiwi boot image to tell the boot image
XML description instance from which system image instance
it was derived from
nose is no longer maintained, thus we have to move to another
