The directory where the --logfile is located is also used for other log
files and for the anaconda logs when using --no-virt. Create the parent
directories if they don't exist.
--make-pxe-live target generate live squashfs and initrd for pxe boot.
Also generates pxe config template.
--make-ostree-live is used for installations of Atomic Host. Additionally to
--make-pxe-live it ensures using deployment root instead of physical root of
installed disk image where needed. Atomic installation needs to be virt
installation with /boot on separate partition (the only way supported by
Anaconda currently). Content of boot partition is added to live root fs so that
ostree can find deployment by boot configuration.
Previously if there was an error during a novirt installation that
didn't exit the process there was no way to detect it. This uses the new
--remotelog option for anaconda to monitor the logs for errors using the
same criteria as it does when monitoring a virt install. If there is an
error the anaconda process will be terminated and the logs will be
gathered up into ./anaconda/
Recently, Fedora has been trying to do a 3 product split. As part of
that, lorax was changed to do "installpkg lorax-product-*" via
provides.
I think that approach is awkward; a much simpler approach is to simply
specify the product package as input to lorax on the command line, via
external rel-eng scripts.
This patch therefore adds --includepkg (and we should probably add an
option to remove the implicit lorax-product-* glob).
installimg SRCDIR DESTFILE
Create a compressed cpio archive of the contents of SRCDIR and place
it in DESTFILE.
If SRCDIR doesn't exist or is empty nothing is created.
Examples:
installimg ${LORAXDIR}/product/ images/product.img
The aarch64 change to use shim (6907567) also stopped using mixed-case
names for BOOT${efiarch}.efi (so it's always .EFI and ${efiarch} is X64
IA32 AA64 etc. now), and mkefiboot needs to match that.

tar recurses into directories by default, but find is feeding it all the
files and directories so the tar it produces is considerably larger than
it needs to be due to duplicate files. Add --no-recursion flag so that
tar will only add the specific files and directories piped to it by find.

The 32MiB size limit does not apply to upgrade.img since it's installed
to /boot by redhat-upgrade-tool instead of downloaded through TFTP. The
warning in rebuild_initrds will still be triggered by an upgrade.img
over the limit, but this doesn't halt the compose and it's probably not
a bad thing to know about.
The ppc config files were missing from the live config_files directory
and ppc needs the correct lib directory so lmc has been switched to use
ArchData driven from the installed kernel arch.

When using GPT it reserves a few more sectors at the end of the disk for
the copy of the GPT so pad the size of the partitions in the kickstart
by 2MiB instead of 1MiB to account for this.
Depending on the environment that --no-virt is run inside the resulting
filesystem may need to have the SELinux labels updates. Run setfiles on
the new filesystem after the anaconda run has finished.
eg. when run from inside mock the labels will be incorrect.
This no longer seems to be needed, and causes images created without
passing --vnc vnc to start up with a serial console. If you need a
serial console you can pass it using --kernel-args
Add check for running traceback script and when the retry fails.
This also indicates something went wrong with the installation, exit
when they are seen in the logs.
Also drop looking for WARNING in the regex errors, they will be errors
after the syslog level name remap patch goes into anaconda.
Spaces cause various bugs like #923374 and #855849 , and it would be
better if we just didn't use them.
Note that there's a corresponding pungi change to go with this.

Watch the logs for WARNING packaging: .* requires .* which indicates
that there are missing packages and it is sitting at a prompt waiting
for user input.
What I need is to make something like the traditional DVD which also
includes packages. At present this is apparently handled by the
entirely separate pungi tool.
At the moment for me, it's the least bad option to modify lorax to
inject data from an external source than to create a new tool, or
attempt to also modify pungi to do this.
This would also allow pungi's DVD creation to eventually be a set of
external templates for Lorax.
If the user supplies a fsimage to use for the iso it may not be on the
same filesystem as the working directory. Try to hardlink first, but if
that fails copy the image.
Commit d2ae92b4b3 patched up the download counter and progress
display. Yum no longer provides the needed information so now we get the
total number of packages from the start of the transaction.
This also turns off colors when stdout is not a tty, and only prints the
install progress once so that piping to a logfile isn't flooded with
useless characters.
This adds the --make-tar option which will produce a xz compressed tar
of the root filesystem. This works with either virt-install or no-virt
modes. Use --image-name to set the output filename.
--compression is used to set the compression type to use, which defaults
to xz. Supported types are xz, lzma, gzip and bzip2.
--compress-arg is used to pass arguments to the compression utility.
--make-fsimage was only working with --no-virt, this re-structures
things so that virt-install partitioned disk images can be converted to
a fsimage. --make-ami was actually already doing this, so change it to
use --make-fsimage and set the default image name to "ami-root.img" with
a label of "AMI".
This also adds the ability to set the fs label on iso fsimage and
fsimages created with --make-fsimage and --make-ami by passing
--fs-label, but note that bootable iso's expect the Anaconda label.
This is used as a kickstart %post interpreter to streamline
modifications to images.
Also adds an example kickstart.
This obsoletes the old appliance-tools-minimizer and includes a Provide
so that the transition will be seamless.
When doing an image install there is no .buildstamp file to pull the
information from so use the cmdline variables (or their defaults) and
pass them to anaconda in the environment.

Remove more drivers and remove plymouth and drm dracut modules. Only on
PPC64 initrd, all other arches have the full set of drivers and modules.

Make sure the data is written before we do anything else with the disk
image. This shouldn't be needed, umount should take care of it, but it
also can't hurt.
Resolves: rhbz#1052175
Also adds a check for a bad url repo, and fix ram calculation for
appliance mode. Updates the README.livemedia-creator documentation.

Fix "lorax -V" and add a "version is ???" to the log file so we can easily know
what version of lorax is used to build an iso.
Changed to try/import for versioning because the version file is autogenerated.
We should probably let the user know if something goes wrong with the
transaction or if a scriptlet fails. So: log the messages so we can find
(and, one hopes, fix) them later.
Some package scripts may call utilities using dbus. Since this is just a
chroot that will fail. This unsets DESKTOP and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
to keep them from crashing.
This adds support for installing to a filesystem image instead of a
partitioned disk image. It requires Anaconda's --dirinstall support.
Also re-organized the code to break it up into smaller methods.
This speeds up iso creation in no-virt mode by removing the need to copy
the filesystem from the partitioned disk image to the filesystem image
that is used to make the squashfs image.
It used to give us (x/y) packagename, but now it only sends package
name. This was changed in yum commit 7e8c76173. For now default to
showing the zeros along with the package name so that it doesn't look
like an error.
kpartx can return before the devices are created. Use -s to wait.
Also remove -p p and let kpartx handle adding pX if needed, we use
whatever it outputs so there is no need to force a name.
This makes findkernels() look for any image named something like:
$PREFIX-$KERNELVER.img
and adds a corresponding entry to its returned data like:
kernel.$PREFIX.path = [path]
As a special backwards-compatibility case we use 'initrd' for the
attribute name if $PREFIX is 'initramfs'.
This gives us any extra initramfs images that may have been built using
the 'prefix' argument to rebuild_initrds().
If 'prefix' is passed to rebuild_initrds(), it will build a *new*
initramfs with a name like $PREFIX-$KERNELVER.img, rather than
overwriting the existing initramfs.
Dracut now makes the initrd with 600 permissions
for security reasons. These reasons do not apply
to install images, and we want the other tools
that use lorax to be able to read the initrd file.
