In addition to the volume volume management settings also
allow to setup low level table entries like in the following
example:
<partitions>
<partition name="var" size="100" mountpoint="/var" filesystem="ext3"/>
</partitions>
Allow to specify a bundle_format per <type> which is used
at the time of the result bundle creation to create image
output names matching the provided pattern.
This Fixes#1943
Restructure the documentation to put all plugin documentation
under its own category. Add a chapter about the stackbuild
plugin, it's concepts and use cases. This Fixes#1907
On the toplevel of an image description you can now
specify include directive(s) like in the following
example
<image ...>
...
<include from="filename_a.xml"/>
...
<include from="filename_b.xml"/>
</image>
At the place of their occurrence the include statement
will be replaced with the contents of the given filename.
The implementation is based on a XSLT stylesheet and
applies very early in the process. The stylesheet reads
the contents of the given file as XML document().
Thus only valid XML documents gets accepted by this
include concept. This Fixes#1929 and is related to
Issue #1918
The documentation for building a legacy pxe image was not
using the profiles (Flat or Compressed) as the actual image
description for this example requires it. This Fixes#1923
The option setting '--logfile stdout' is now a special form
and logs the messages usually written to a file to stdout
instead. This is handy if all messages of the build are
requested but the --debug switch is not because it does more
than that, e.g calling scripts through debug'able screen
sessions
When creating a custom script it usually takes some iterations of
try and testing until a final stable state is reached. To support
developers with this task kiwi calls scripts associated with a
screen session. The connection to screen is only done if kiwi
is called with the --debug option.
With the new option --package-as-rpm it is possible to
call the kiwi result bundler such that the image build
results gets packaged into an rpm. I think this is a
handy feature to transport image builds via repositories
repo files allows for several customization options
which could not be set by kiwi through the current
repository schema. As the options used do not follow
any standard and are not compatible between package
managers and distributions the only generic way to
handle this is through a script which is invoked
with the repo file as parameter for each file created
to describe a repo for the selected package manager.
This allows users to update/change the repo file content
on their individual needs. In the kiwi description the
path to the custom script can be specified as follows
<repository ... customize="/path/to/custom_script">
<source path="..."/>
</repository>
This Fixes#1896
Moving use of mkdtemp, NamedTemporaryFile and TemporaryDirectory
into its own class called Temporary: By default all temporary
data is created below /var/tmp but can be changed via the
global commandline option --temp-dir. This Fixes#1870
Riot has changed to Element. The index page on kiwi still
uses the old location. This updates the information how to
use the Matrix channel and the kiwi room name.
This Fixes#1854
Add integration tests for functions.sh
Implement a container based test system to run shell code for testing.
The concept utilizes pytest-testinfra and runs a container per test.
The nested container in a container feature is supported by the github
actions workflow. Thus the integration of this testing concept runs in
the github actions CI rather than on gitlab
