Marcus Schäfer 2046220c07 Refactor documentation layout and structure
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.

kiwi system build help
DESCRIPTION
-----------
build an image in one step. The build command combines kiwi's prepare and
create steps in order to build an image with just one command call. The
build command creates the root directory of the image below
`<target-dir>/build/image-root` and if not specified differently writes
a log file `<target-dir>/build/image-root.log`. The result image files
are created in the specified target-dir.
OPTIONS
-------
--add-package=<name>
specify package to add(install). The option can be specified
multiple times
--add-repo=<source,type,alias,priority>
Add a new repository to the existing repository setup in the XML
description. This option can be specified multiple times
--delete-package=<name>
specify package to delete. The option can be specified
multiple times
--description=<directory>
Path to the XML description. This is a directory containing at least
one _config.xml_ or _*.kiwi_ XML file.
--obs-repo-internal
The repository source type **obs://** by default points to the
`Open Build Service <http://download.opensuse.org>`_. With the
*--obs-repo-internal* option the source type is changed to the
**ibs://** type, pointing to the **Internal Build Service**.
This allows to build images with repositories pointing to the SUSE
internal build service. Please note this requires access permissions
to the SUSE internal build service on the machine building the image.
--set-repo=<source,type,alias,priority>
Overwrite the first repository entry in the XML description with the
provided information:
- **source**
source url, pointing to a package repository which must be in a format
supported by the selected package manager. See the URI_TYPES section for
details about the supported source locators.
- **type**
repository type, could be one of `rpm-md`, `rpm-dir` or `yast2`.
- **alias**
An alias name for the repository. If not specified kiwi calculates
an alias name as result from a sha sum. The sha sum is used to uniquely
identify the repository, but not very expressive. We recommend to
set an expressive and uniq alias name.
- **priority**
A number indicating the repository priority. How the value is evaluated
depends on the selected package manager. Please refer to the package
manager documentation for details about the supported priority ranges
and their meaning.
--target-dir=<directory>
Path to store the build results.
URI_TYPES
---------
- **http://** | **https://** | **ftp://**
remote repository delivered via http or ftp protocol.
- **obs://**
Open Buildservice repository. The source data is translated into
an http url pointing to http://download.opensuse.org.
- **ibs://**
Internal Open Buildservice repository. The source data is translated into
an http url pointing to download.suse.de.
- **iso://**
Local iso file. kiwi loop mounts the file and uses the mount point
as temporary directory source type
- **dir://**
Local directory
