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.
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
When deploying a disk image via PXE the initrd contained a config
file which connects it to a certain image. This has the disadvantage
that no other image could be deployed with it. This commit changes the
deployment code in a way that the config file is read from the
network if the disk is deployed via PXE. The tarball created by
kiwi provides the image connected config file but users now have
the opportunity to create their own boot configurations which allows
deployment of different images with the same kiwi built deployment
initrd. This Fixes#1298 and is one first step into a more generic
PXE support offered by kiwi.
