This option removes all the extra build artifacts from --make-iso,
leaving only the boot.iso
It also supports naming of the final iso with --image-name
If the kickstart includes multiple definitions for the same mount point,
the last one defined is used. The current code includes all of them in
size calculation, and the image file that livemedia-creator makes is big
enough to hold all of the partitions, even though the duplicates are
ignored by Anaconda.
Also alias --qcow2 to --image-type=qcow2
This allows --make-disk to be used to create any disk image that
qemu-img supports, not just raw or qcow2. See qemu-img --help for a list
of the supported image types.
Sometimes debugging a boot.iso requires using gdb, and finding the
corresponding debuginfo packages can be difficult. This writes the
matching -debuginfo package names and full ENVR to a file on the iso.
This can then be fed to dnf to install the correct debug packages.
We have been defaulting to using raw kernels and initrds for awhile
now. Lets not make the legacy version anymore. Anyone that needs one
should be able to make their own with the correct variables.

Because livemedia-creator is using a media based installation by default,
no networking is brought up automatically. If then the url installation
method is used, it fails with an unclear reason.
This patch adds a check to raise a clear error if the url installation
method is used insisde the kickstart but no networking is configured.

This could help to keep the disk size down during installation,
if the FS within the VM is also supporting TRIM.

This adds the --repo command which can be added multiple times to point
to dnf .repo files.
--enablerepo and --disablerepo can be used multiple times to control
which repos from the .repo files are actually used for the boot.iso
creation.
--repo can be used instead of --source, or in addition to it.
This requires OVMF to be setup on the system, and for the kickstart to
create a /boot/efi/ partition. You can then use it to create UEFI
bootable partitioned disk images.
Gtk turned off the inspector keybindings by default, because they were
interfering with applications that use a lot of complicated keyboard
shortcuts. This is not a concern for anaconda, and the inspector is
pretty handy, so turn it back on.
Make the metavars useful, not STRING. Simplify some of the error
checking, let the parser handle it. Add type=os.path.abspath to several
path arguments so that relative paths will be converted to absolute
paths when they are processed.
One of the most useful things to override is the path to the templates,
this adds a cmdline option to do that instead of needing to create a
whole configuration file and pass it.
This adds support for creating Vagrant boxes using virt-install. It also
includes an example kickstart that sets up the vagrant user with the
default ssh key.
The default result, without passing --image-name, is in
/var/tmp/vagrant.tar.xz
Sometimes you don't want to include the selinux xattrs in the tar (eg.
bsdtar has problems extracting them). They are still included by
default, but pass selinux=False to remove '--selinux --acls --xattrs'
from the tar cmdline.
This implements the bundle spec from:
https://github.com/opencontainers/specs
It creates a tar with the filesystem under /rootfs/ and includes user
provided config.json and runtime.json files.
This allows the partition to be mounted on a directory underneath the
temporary directory, eg. /rootfs/, to help support creating other image
types without needed to move the files around.
The etc portion of systemd-tmpfiles creates a broken /etc/resolv.conf,
which breaks networking, and the rest of the stuff in the there is
already installed to the stage2.
The size estimate was counting the /EFI/BOOT/ contents twice and then
doubling that. Only count things once, then double it for the
System/Library/CoreServices/ copy.
hard-links don't work. With CoreServices hardlinked to /EFI/BOOT/ the
Mac won't boot. With /EFI/BOOT/ hardlinked to CoreServices grub2 cannot
read the config file so there are 2 real copies.
This reduces the image size from 21M to about 12M
