With dnf5 there is a successor for dnf but there will also
be a transition period where there will be both, the former
dnf and the new dnf5 available. For a clear distinction
between the two we got the recommendation from the RedHat
team to support both in different namespaces. This commit
now implements a backward compatible change for kiwi which
includes the following modifications:
* XSL stylesheet for automatic schema transformation from
<packagemanager>dnf</packagemanager> to
<packagemanager>dnf4</packagemanager>
* Code copy of dnf API interface from
PackageManagerDnf -> PackageManagerDnf4
RepositoryDnf -> RepositoryDnf4
* Deprecation of former Dnf API interface
The code change here will force developers to adapt
their code if they used RepositoryDnf / PackageManagerDnf
classes in their python code. After this change developers
will be dropped into a raise condition which exits kiwi
at the time of the call. Related to Issue #2300
and Issue #2262
When using the apt packagemanager kiwi required the use of
debootstrap to create the initial rootfs. This works as long
as there is always a main distribution repository available
which follows the structure of the official debian mirrors.
However if such a main distribution is not present or an
alternative layout like e.g OBS repos is used, debootstrap
will refuse to work. To allow for an alternative and without
the dependency to debootstrap kiwi supports using a prebuilt
bootstrap package providing the mini rootfs to serve as
the bootstrap result. As all other package managers properly
supports installation into an empty new root, this feature
was only added when using the apt packagemanager
