KIS is an abbreviation for Kernel, Initrd, System and defines a
highly customizable image consisting out of these components.
This commit performs the changes documented in #1414 and
introduces the new kis type. From an image build perspective
kis is currently the same as pxe with restrictions for kis
on the schema level. A kis build uses dracut and does not allow
to use the legacy netboot initrd. The pxe type will therefore be
exclusively used to built for the legacy netboot infrastructure
and is on its way to deprecation in the future.
This Fixes#1262
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
The current design of the documentation does not allow for
continous improvement and development. It's missing a basic
structure and concept for documenting step-by-step workflows
and generic explanations.
