The documentation did not differentiate correctly between
the explanation of the image types, their results and the
build host constraints compared to the documentation that
actually describes how to build an image for those types.
This Fixes#1520
This commit adds a documentation for the KIWI XML description.
In contrast to the former auto generated code from the XML
schema this document can now finally be used as a reference.
Along with that new chapter all auto generated and static
html content as been deleted. Also all helper scripts around
the proprietary oxygen tool and our schema doc generator
has been deleted. Auto generating this information does not
lead to a reference guide people can really work with.
As a consequence to these changes this commit also includes
some changes of the structure such that no information written
by other people in the past gets lost. This Fixes#1421
and Fixes#1474
Allow to read multiple markup formats. Supported are XML
and YAML. The parsing and transformation is based on the
anymarkup module. The use of anymarkup is optional and
implemented as an on demand loading module. If a user
uses a yaml config file or a request to convert into
yaml is made without an installed anymarkup module an
exception is thrown
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
A new chapter to document KIS images. KIS is an abbreviation
for Kernel, Initrd, System and defines a highly customizable
image consisting out of these components. This Fixes#1346
All information about network boot that references the legacy
netboot code has been moved into one chapter at working_with_images
named legacy_netboot_root_filesystem.rst
KIS is an abbreviation for Kernel, Initrd, System and defines a
highly customizable image consisting out of these components.
This commit performs the changes documented in #1414 and
introduces the new kis type. From an image build perspective
kis is currently the same as pxe with restrictions for kis
on the schema level. A kis build uses dracut and does not allow
to use the legacy netboot initrd. The pxe type will therefore be
exclusively used to built for the legacy netboot infrastructure
and is on its way to deprecation in the future.
This Fixes#1262
In addition to the existing root/ overlay directory which
applies always there can now also be profile specific overlay
directories. If an overlay directory should be applied for
a specific profile this can now be done by placing this data
in a directory that is named the same as the profile name.
