The bundle format is usually specified as part of the image
description in the bundle_format attribute. This commit also
allows to specify/overwrite the bundle format in the kiwi
result bundle command via the new --bundle-format option.
This Fixes#2509
Using an arbitrary list of rpm packages as repository is a zypper
only feature, barely tested and from our pov not really needed
as a simple createrepo call turns any custom list of packages
into a clean rpm-md repo including metadata. This commit drops
rpm-dir from the list of allowed repository types and auto
converts those image descriptions which makes use of it. Please
note this does not prevent users from using flat package
directories with zypper, because the type argument in the
repository section is an optional attribute. In case there is
no type specification zypper auto-detects and handles the data
as it handles it. This Fixes#1926
Specifying a repository as part of the image description
allows for credentials via the username and password attributes.
Howver, repositories can also be specified on the commandline
via the --set-repo / --add-repo options. The options on the
commandline did not allow to specify credentials so far.
This commit adds the commandline options --set-repo-credentials
and --add-repo-credentials to support them
Like with --logfile this commit adds support for using
an existing Unix Domain Socket for logging. It's required
that there is a listener on the given socket otherwise
kiwi exits with an appropriate error message from the
socket layer. A simple listener could look like the
following:
```python
sock_file = '/tmp/log_socket'
buffer = 1024
if os.path.exists(sock_file):
os.unlink(sock_file)
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.bind(sock_file)
sock.listen(1)
while True:
connection, client_address = sock.accept()
try:
while True:
data = connection.recv(buffer)
if not data:
break
print(data.decode())
finally:
connection.close()
```
With the listener in place kiwi can be called as follows:
kiwi-ng --logsocket /tmp/log_socket ...
When passing signing_keys with the --add-repo|--set-repo
commandline options the delimiter to separate the single
key information is a colon(:). However, this is stupid when
kiwi expects the signing key to be references as an URI
format like file://... Therefore this patch changes the
delimiter from colon(:) to semicolon(;)
The repository parameters for signing keys, the component
list the main distribution name for debian repositories and
also the repository_gpgcheck could not be set via the
commandline options --add-repo and/or --set-repo. This
commit adds support for them and also updates the manual
page accordingly
When building with kiwi a search on the kiwi main config
file is made inside of the given --description directory.
The search looks up for the file config.xml or *.kiwi.
So far there was no opportunity to specify another name.
This commit adds an option in the global area named:
--kiwi-file name
which will make kiwi to lookup this file inside of the
given --description directory and fail if it does not
exist. This Fixes#1973
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
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
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
The documentation had a broken link to the buildservice
tests for suse. Since we changed this into leap and tumbleweed
the subproject link to :suse became invalid. In addition to
the fix the macro setup and build instructions were moved
to use the kiwi integration tests as example appliance
descriptions. The user experience in building the integration
test images should be better because we only release kiwi
if those appliances build successfully. This Fixes#1812
The option --target-arch allows to set the architecture
used to build the image. By default this is the host
architecture. Please note, if the specified architecture
name does not match the host architecture and is therefore
requesting a cross architecture image build, it's important
to understand that for this process to work a preparatory
step to support the image architecture and binary format
on the building host is required and is not considered a
responsibility of kiwi. There will be a followup effort
on providing a plugin for kiwi which should be used to
manage the needed binfmt settings for cross arch image
builds
The optional kiwi runtime config file (kiwi.yml) could
only be read from ~/.config/kiwi/config.yml or /etc/kiwi.yml
This commits adds the global option --config which allows
to specify a custom runtime configuration as well.
The system build and prepare commands have received options
which were not mentioned in the manual pages. This commit
updates the pages to be in line with the code
The name LimeJeOS was an invention of the SUSE Studio project.
Since the project does no longer exist, users have no idea
what the name means. Therefore the integration tests as well
as the documentation now changes the image names to provide
more clarity. This Fixes#1544
A vmx image is the same disk as an oem just without the dracut
repart/resize feature. This difference is better handled with
an oemconfig parameter <oem-resize> which allows to switch resize
on or off. The extra image type vmx will be dropped and an XSLT
stylesheet automatically transforms a vmx description to be a
oem image with the resize feature switched off.
This Fixes#1425
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
There is the legacy kiwi version and there is this kiwi(next generation).
From a documentation perspective there are several inconsistencies that
could confuse users. This commit makes the name for KIWI-NG consistent
across the entire documentation. At places where we point to older
documentation we use the term Legacy KIWI and a link to the documentation
that covers this part. All this is needed in preparation to cleanup the
documentation situation for the SUSE documentation but with respect to
the upstream doc sources, their layout and markup.
SUSE documentation is based on docbook or asciidoc. The kiwi
documentation is maintained along with the code and uses the
sphinx system and therefore ReST as markup language. We would
like to keep one source and don't want to move to another markup
language. Thus the sources needs to be structured in a way that
allows translation into sphinx supported targets as well as
into SUSE docbook style. This commit changes the documentation
structure in a way that both is possible. With the use of Sphinx
XML and rstxml2docbook the ReST docs are converted into docbook.
From there the SUSE daps tool can create SUSE documentation
In addition to the 'kiwi --compat -- ...' style we also support calling
the kiwi compat mode as a service via 'kiwi compat ...' The preferred
way of calling kiwi with legacy options is via the new compat service.
Thus the documentation also changed to no longer mention the --compat
option but it still exists for compatibility reasons. Fixes#407
The meaning of the --ignore-repos option has changed back
to ignore all configured repositories. A new option
named --ignore-repos-used-for-build has been added which
allows to ignore all except imageonly repositories. The
command manual pages has been changed to document the
options. This Fixes#410
In reference to _download_repository_link.html.erb from
https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service, we use the
same mechanism to create the download link from an obs://
project definition
* Delete kiwi internal ibs: and suse: types
* Delete handling for --obs-repo-internal and provide a
compatibility message to the user
* Buildservice download server url and scope can be configured
via ~/.config/kiwi/config.yml
* Translate obs urls to http in import_repositories_marked_as_imageinclude
* Use new Uri.is_public method in renamed runtime check
check_image_include_repos_publicly_resolvable
