The completion can only be provided by one package if not
python version specific completion files are provided. Due
to the fix in #920 the completion file must be provided by
another sub-package. This commit moves it to the
kiwi-man-pages package. Actually kiwi man pages provides
more than just the man pages, but also the PDF documentation
and I think the completion information serves the purpose of
documentation to some degree too.
The bash completion file must match one of the alternatives links.
Otherwise the bash completion mechanism will not match. kiwi-ng is
the unique alternative link name compared to the still present
legacy kiwi version and should be used preferably
dracut-kiwi-live requires `partprobe` tool and this is provided by
parted package. Persistent overlay setup fails if parted is not
installed in the image.
This commit fixes the spec to properly build for Debian and Ubuntu.
More specific:
* update-alternatives path has been adapted
* python3-kiwi are now enabled for Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18.04
gfxboot is needed on the host for certain boot graphics
operations. It's used if the boot theme provides a gfxboot.cfg
In this case the tool is also required. The setup of the
boot themes is differently implemented in each of the
distributions we support. In addition on suse distributions
gfxboot is no longer in the core system. Given that we are
not able to find a common base on requirement of the package
we changed gfxboot from a required to a recommended package
and deleted the requirement on debian based distros
The spec file uses the %{_defaultdocdir} macro but the
corresponding Makefile target used a hardcoded path which
lead to inconsistencies on debian/ubuntu based systems.
This Fixes#838
btrfs tools are provided by btrfs-tools package and not by
btrfs-progs. In addition dracut-network is a separate package
on debian/ubuntu based distributions. This Fixes#837
Bundle a PDF version of the online documentation with the rpm package
build. Due to the complexity of getting a latex build environment into
the travis CI which does not take forever to install, the bundling of
a built PDF into the pypi archive has been skipped. Users installing
from pypi would need to install a latex env on their machine and
run make latexpdf from the installed bundle.
This Fixes#819
The dracut modules like kiwi provides it should not be part of the
default install target. If kiwi gets installed from source or via
pip all dracut code gets installed on that system which is unwanted
and in the worst case leads to boot trouble next time this system
rebuilds its initrd via dracut. Therefore an extra Makefile target
which is used in the spec of an rpm but not in the install target
of setup.py is provided in this commit.
As a consequence the installation from pip will not install any
dracut modules on that system which is intentional. Installing from
source requires to run make install_dracut which if called assumes
the caller knows what he/she does :)
In fate#323743 the decision was made to drop dmraid from
the distribution. Along with the low business case for those
controllers and the support for linux softraid via mdadm
we also drop the support in kiwi for oem-ataraid-scan
The custom kiwi boot descriptions has been moved into
the kiwi-descriptions github repo and builds the compat
package kiwi-boot-descriptions from there. The build
of the boot image(initrd) is done by dracut and the
dracut module packages provided by kiwi. The classic
custom boot descriptions can still be used as alternative
method if the above package is installed. Related to
Issue #576
This adds support for producing the main kiwi package as well as the
packages for the dracut modules to be used when building Debian-based
distribution images with KIWI.
The Debian/Ubuntu package is built using debbuild: https://github.com/ascherer/debbuild
lsblk should be called with -p because it's a mistake
to assume any device lives below /dev. There could also
be subtree devices in /dev/mapper or /dev/disk/..
We leave it up to lsblk to provide us the correct
information
Adapt package names for gdisk/gptfdisk and btrfs-progs/btrfsprogs
Install and require fdasd only on s390 architecture
Delete fbiterm requirement since the project seems unmaintained
and the use of the framebuffer terminal is an option in the code
but not mandatory. This Fixes#559
A new dracut module kiwi-repart used to be the successor of
the custom kiwi oemboot code to repartition the disk has
been added. Along with the module a dracut library kiwi-lib
will also be delivered.
