image-minimizer
===============
:Authors:
Brian C. Lane <bcl@redhat.com>
`image-minimizer` is a script used as an interpreter for kickstart `%post`
sections. It is used to remove rpm packages and individual files from the
system that Anaconda has just installed.
It processes a list of commands that tell it which files or rpms to remove, and
which to keep.
image-minimizer cmdline arguments
---------------------------------
`usage: image-minimizer [-h] [-i STRING] [--dryrun] [-v] STRING`
Optional arguments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i STRING, --installroot STRING
Root path to prepend to all file patterns and
installation root for RPM operations. Defaults to
INSTALL_ROOT or /mnt/sysimage/
--dryrun If set, no filesystem changes are made.
-v, --verbose Display every action as it is performed.
Positional arguments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
:STRING: Filename to process
NOTES
-----
You cannot pass any arguments to `image-minimizer` when using it from the
kickstart `%post`.
When using this from a kickstart the image-minimizer package needs to be available.
It is not included on the standard boot.iso, so you will need to include `lorax` in
the `%package` section. You can use `image-minimizer` to remove lorax from the install.
If you are using this with `livemedia-creator` it can be installed on the host
system so that `lorax` isn't needed in the `%package` list, and it doesn't need
to be removed.
commands
--------
Commands are listed one per line, followed by a space, and then by the
package, file, or glob. The globs used are Unix style pathname patterns using
`*`, `?`, and `[]` character ranges. globbing is implemented using the python
glob module.
* drop <PATTERN>
This will remove files from the installation.
* keep <PATTERN>
This will keep files, and should follow any `drop` commands including globs.
* droprpm <PATTERN>
Remove matching rpm packages. Dependencies are not remove, just individual
packages matching the glob.
* keeprpm <PATTERN>
Do not remove matching rpm packages, it should follow any `droprpm` commands
that include globs.
example
-------
Example Anaconda `%post` usage::
%post --interpreter=image-minimizer --nochroot
drop /lib/modules/*/kernel/fs
keep /lib/modules/*/kernel/fs/ext*
keep /lib/modules/*/kernel/fs/mbcache*
keep /lib/modules/*/kernel/fs/squashfs
droprpm make
droprpm mtools
droprpm mysql-libs
droprpm perl
droprpm perl-Pod-*
droprpm syslinux
keeprpm perl-Pod-Simple
# Not needed after image-minimizer is done
droprpm lorax
%end
