The new element controls the behavior of the repart/resize code
in the oem-repart dracut module. By default the repart/resize
happens on every reboot and therefore also allows for disk
geometry changes during the livetime of the machine. If the
element is set to false the repart/resize operation happens
only once and then never again. To check for this condition
a new profile environment variable kiwi_rootpartuuid which
holds the PARTUUID of the root partition has been added to
the disk builder.
Added new type attribute:
```xml
<type ... spare_part_fs_attributes="..."/>
```
which can be a comma separated list of the following currently
supported filesystem attributes:
* no-copy-on-write
* synchronous-updates
See chattr and filesystem manual pages for details on those
attributes. More attributes for the spare part context can be
added on request. This Fixes#1233
In an OEM deployment that requested the creation of a swap
partition via <oem-swap> that swap partition was created
at first boot and was always the last partition on the disk.
This was required because it could not be placed before
any other partition without destroying those partition
contents. This process leaves the system in an inflexible
condition if the storage device can change its geometry
dynamicly as it's the case for SAN systems. The typical
deployment target for OEM images are SAN storage clusters
and it's cumbersome to resize the root partition if swap
is last.
This commit Fixes#1231 and changes the handling of swap if
requested via <oem-swap> as follows:
1. The swap space is created as part of the image build process
and no longer on first boot of the image via dracut code.
This increases the size of the non compressed .raw disk image
by the configured swap space size or the default. The
compressed versions are not affected since zero initialized
swap space compresses to almost no space. Deployment of
the image however also deploys the swap partition which
increases deployment time. For big swap configurations
it's advisable to switch off image verification via
oem-skip-verify. For very big swap configurations it's
also recommended to prevent kiwi from adding them as part
of the image and let them be created on first boot via
a systemd service that e.g places a swap file, or creates
a swap volume when possible such that the fexibility to
resize the rootfs is still available.
2. The setup of the swap space is now explicit. It's no longer
calculated by twice times RAM size because on newer machines
this could lead to huge numbers. Either the kiwi encoded
default swap size applies or the user configured value.
3. LVM based oem disks creates the swap space as logical volume.
The volume is created as part of the image build process
and no longer on first boot. The swap volume at build time
of the image is of a minimal size and gets resized on first
boot.
4. The move of the swap creation into the builder code also
handles swap per configured device persistency schema like
any other devices. This means by default swap is mounted
via by-uuid name and thus also Fixes#1259
Use raises as context manager instead of a method decorator.
This clearly identifies which code part is expected to raise
an exception. Related to Issue #1128
Along with the fsmountoptions attribute there is now also the
fscreateoptions attribute which allows to control the options
used for creating the filesystem. Please note, it's not kiwi's
task to validate that the given option string is supported
by the selected filesystem. This means providing wrong values
here will cause the build to fail at the time the filesystem
gets created. This Fixes#1109
There is no further demand in the client config creation for the
legacy netboot code. Customers using the netboot initrd already
create the client config.<MAC> file manually or through another
system. With the next generation kiwi we also recommend the disk
based network deployment using the dracut capabilities and marked
the netboot code as still supported but on the legacy stream.
Along with the deletion in the schema the following changes
were also done:
* Deleted use of pxedeploy section in implementation
* Increase schema version to v7.0
* Update documentation on schema version update
* Added xsl stylesheet conversion from v6.9 to v7.0
Automatic schema version upgrade from v6.9 to v7.0 deletes
the pxedeploy section from any type specification
This Fixes#19
This commits adds initial support to build Vagrant boxes with the Virtualbox
provider.
- The attribute 'provider' of the option <vagrantconfig> now supports the option
"virtualbox".
- A new boolean attribute 'virtualbox_guest_additions_present' was added to
<vagrantconfig>. When set to true, KIWI will assume that guest additions have
been installed into the base image and configure the shared folders to use
vboxfs, otherwise rsync will be used.
This fixes#532 (https://github.com/SUSE/kiwi/issues/532).
In the preferences section the following optional subsection
can be configured:
<rpm-locale-filtering>true|false</rpm-locale-filtering>
If set to true the default locales POSIX, C, and C.UTF-8 are
applied as rpm install_lang macro. If the locale section is
configured in addition the list is extended by that information
too
During the image build the custom rpm macro %_install_langs
is configured with the <locale> setup from the KIWI XML
description. This allows to filter language specific packages
on the rpm level and Fixes#771
This commit adds the history section in contianerconfig. With it
'author', 'created_by' and 'comment' can be customized. In addition
'created' is always included with the image creation date time.
'created_by' entry is set to 'KIWI __version__' by default if nothing
is provided.
Fixes#852
The optional label attribute in a volume section allows
to specify a filesystem label for the selected volume.
The label setup will have no effect on filesystems
which implements their own volume management like it's
the case for btrfs. This Fixes#738
The kiwi schema allows for multiple vmnic sections but kiwi
only took the primary one into account. This patch uses all
configured vmnic sections. This Fixes#688
This commit fixes the default initrd_system value for some image
types. Since this value is included in profile and potentially
taken into account for some of the config script functions, it is
important to have consistent values even when the image type
has no initrd choice or it doesn't have initrd at all.
Related to #689
With this commit the profile can include other profiles as a dependency.
This way it is possible build an image defined by multiple profiles by just
calling a single composed profile from the command line.
Fixes#658
If an image description only contains package requests
from a bootstrap section but no image packages, it's not
required to install a package manager package into the
system
If a package is marked bootinclude prefer <packages type="image">
section in the target XML as primary target and only if no such
section exists put the package in the <packages type="bootstrap">
section
Make sure the default initrd_system is set to dracut
for the vmx image type and to kiwi if no initrd_system
is specified. This allows to simplify other code parts
as we can trust there is a value set
Custom disk format options passed in the formatoptions
attribute were not handled. In addition options with a
value passed to qemu were handled in the wrong way.
This commit addresses both problems and Fixes#463
* 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
xml_parse code is autogenerated, thus no changes there should be
considered. When adding a repository from the command line it
can happen that the repository priority is mapped to an empty instead
to a None valuei, when the priority is not specifically set. xml_parse
will only support a parseable string to int or a None value as the
default option, so, if an empty string is used, it throws an
exception. With the current patch anything that cannot be casted
to an int, will be considered as None.
Fixes#408
The --set-repo and --add-repo commandline options now allows
additionally to specify a true|false value to indicate if the
repository should be part of the system image repository
setup or not. This Fixes#398
This commit fixes#395, with it, using --ignore-repos, does not
delete imageonly repositories from the description file. This way
imageonly is prepared to be used in the buildservice even when using
the 'obsrepositories:/' reference style.
With the current repository management this method is not required
anymore, since the setup repositories method does not modify the image
if no repositories are present.
It is related to #305 and #191
This commit adds support for the rpm-check-signatures flag, which
sets the package manager to verify or not each package signature.
By default KIWI assumes no gpg checks are done.
This commit adds the possibility of clearing asny subcommand or
entrypoint. This is relevant for docker derived images, as they
inherit the configuration and it might lead to some bad behavior.
Instead of creating a simple tarball the tools umoci and skopeo
from the docker tool chain are used to create official docker
images. Along with those tools more information to describe a
container has been added to the schema. A complete container
setup now consists of the following elements
<type image="docker">
<containerconfig name="..." maintainer="..." user="..." workingdir="...">
<entrypoint execute="command">
<argument name="option"/>
...
</entrypoint>
<subcommand execute="command">
<argument name="option"/>
...
</subcommand>
<expose>
<port number="..."/>
...
</expose>
<volumes>
<volume name="..."/>
...
</volumes>
<environment>
<env name="variable" value="value"/>
...
</environment>
<labels>
<label name="..." value="..."/>
...

</containerconfig>
</type>
spare_part receives a size value with an optional unit (M|G)
and is used for disk images to allow the creaton of a spare
partition of the configured size. Issue #234
The packages subsection <ignore> only accepted a package
name to become ignored. However a <package> subsection
to install a package allows for an arch selection. The
same should apply to ignore a package. In addition the
allowed content for the arch attribute has been changed
from simple text to a regular expression. Allowed is a
comma seperated list of reserved architecture words like
they are displayed by uname -m
Zypper supports the al (add lock) command which allows to ignore
a package in the dependecny resolution process. This is useful
to prevent installation of a package which was pulled in by e.g
a recommendation flag from the spec file. Packages marked to be
ignored are not handled for apt and yum right now. Using this
feature together with an unsupported package manager backend
results in a warning to the user
