There are no good reasons to be purging the repo directories, especially
when it is common for some distributions (Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora, for example)
to ship repository configuration as packages. Deleting them puts the package
manager in the system into a weird state, so we want to avoid this.
The package and solver repository classes did not provide an
interface to deal with repository credentials. This commit
add support for the zypper package manager and the generic
urlopen based download method of the solver class. This
Fixes#246
Instead of creating the fstab at boot time, those entries which
are generic and not depending on an unknown device name can be
created as part of the image building process.
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.
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
Systems using SELinux require the filesystem data to be labeled
according to a security context configuration. kiwi now checks
for the presence of /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts
and labels accordingly if it exists. This Fixes#52
nose is no longer maintained, thus we have to move to another
testing system. This commit updates the tox setup and all tests
to use pytest instead of nose.
export_rpm_package_list and export_rpm_package_verification
Used to provide rpm package metadata and verification information
for rpm based image builds
export_modprobe_setup copies the contents of etc/modprobe.d
to a specified target root directory. The method is used to
transfer the modprobe configuration from the system image
to the boot image
