In order to support iso creation on multiple arches with the templates
we need to be able to select different packages based on arch.
lorax-composer uses the arch-specific Lorax templates in order to
generate the output iso so this patch:
1. Creates a new template and type to parse it, live-install.tmpl
which contains only installpkg commands and #if clauses for arch
2. Removes bootloader related packages from the live-iso.ks
3. Remove dracut-config-rescue exclusion because it can cause problems
with some blueprints.
4. Switch logo requirement to system-logos which is satisfied by
generic-logos or fedora-logos. This prevents conflicts when a blueprint
installs fedora-release-workstation.
So in the future, if x86.tmpl, etc. need a new package to support
creating the iso it should be added to the correct section in
./share/live/live-install.tmpl
If a package is excluded in the template and later added by a blueprint
or dependency, anaconda will fail to finish the installation. So remove
the -dracut-config-rescue exclusion and instead remove the rescue
artifacts in %post
Some platforms, like ppc64, require that the /boot partition be present.
It doesn't hurt to have it there on other platforms so instead of trying
to add per-arch kickstart templates just use reqpart --add-boot
everywhere.
reqpart can be used to make kickstarts more platform agnostic, creating
needed partitions without lmc having to keep track of the arch-specific
needs. eg. ppc64 needs prepboot and /boot
This increases the size of the disk based on whether reqpart or
reqpart --add-boot is in the kickstart.
Note that this is only valid for partitioned disk output types, not
for filesystem images or live iso output.
Some platforms do not have grub2, and some require other partitions.
Anaconda will add platform specific partitions if the 'reqpart' command
is included, and it will add bootloader specific packages to the list if
they are needed.
It is not actually needed. projects_info deduplicates the package list,
placing other builds into the builds list instead of making a new
package entry. So it returns a sorted and deduped list of packages, as
expected.
In livemedia-creator's usage of this it can never pass in None, but if
someone were to import the library and use it, it would crash with
NoneType. So add the extra checks to make sure cancel_func isn't None,
just in case.
When using LMC to virt-install a system to an image, cancel_func is not
provided in run_creator, causing a TypeError (NoneType object is not
callable).

- on some arches (also Fedora x86_64) systemd-nspawn may not be
available
- delete composes from other tests in rlPhaseStartCleanup because
we're seeing the tar compose kind of hanging in Jenkins and that
test script is executed last so the slave may be running out of
disk space. Be a good citizen and clean up after the previous
tests.
b/c we've migrated to Upshift we must use different instance type,
specify the desired network to connect to and update how we get
the ip address of the launched VM.
The reason for the 3G minimum was because anaconda had a bug with how it
calculated minimum disk size when using kickstart. The gix for this has
been in Anaconda since 29.19-1, so we can now remove our limit and
create somewhat smaller disk images.
Anaconda can leave child processes and mounts around when it crashes or
is canceled before finishing. It also sometimes unmounts unrelated file
systems (https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/issues/1791).
Run it in a mount and pid namespace to clean up after it.
We need to be root to read the certificates that give access to the
package repos. Right now, the alternative seems to be changing
permissions on the certs themselves, which seems less good. We're
running anaconda as root anyway.
If a repository has `sslcacert`, `sslclientcert`, or `ssclientkey` set,
pass them to anaconda through the kickstart file. This is mostly the
case when using RHEL repositories that are accessed through a
subscription.
In some cases when the host has, for whatever reason, multiple copies of
the same repo listed the build may fail with an error about running out
of space.
So this commit removes duplicate entries after the host's repos have been
loaded. It also adjusts some of the test repos to use different
temporary repo names for the tests.
If systemd's tmpfiles.d timer is executed while lorax is running it will
remove any files and directories older than 30 days. This is what has
been causing the occasional error where /proc/ would seem to vanish
during the install.
Upstream has proposed this solution, https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11482
but until that is released we need a work-around to protect the lorax
files.
This commit does several things:
* Move the default tmpdir from /var/tmp/ to /var/tmp/lorax/
* Add a lorax.conf tmpfiles.d file that prevents systemd-tmpfiles from
removing anything under /var/tmp/lorax/
* Add an exit handler to lorax so that temporary directories are removed on
exit or on a python traceback.
* Use flock to lock access to the tempdir while lorax is running.
* Remove any unlocked tempdirs named /var/tmp/lorax/lorax.* at startup
Note that the exit handler will not remove the tempdir if lorax is
killed with a signal -- those are being caught by dnf and prevent the
exit handler from running.
systemd-tmpfiles cannot clean up the tempdirs at boot time because they
contain files labeled as shadow_t, so we have to remove those when lorax
runs. It uses the flock to prevent removing any directories created by
parallel instances of lorax and only removes ones that are unlocked.
Worst case they will be around until the first run of lorax after a
reboot.
If you want to keep the working directory around for debugging purposes
use --workdir /var/tmp/lorax/my-workdir and it won't be removed by
lorax.
The OS_PROJECT_NAME (or OS_TENANT_NAME) environment variable needs to be defined.
Use the OS_PROJECT_NAME, since it is recommended in the documentation instead of
the older OS_TENANT_NAME.
