pylorax users will need to change to using dnf and pass a dnf.Base()
object as the dbo argument instead of a yum object as the yum or ybo
argument. See the lorax script for an example of how to do this.
The lorax cmdline argument --excludepkgs has been removed since dnf
doesn't appear to have any way to support it and packages should be
controlled using templates anyway.
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
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.
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.
When I switched execution over to execWith* functions I failed to
account for the use of CalledProcessError in various places. This
patch restores that behavior. All places that used check_call or
check_output now pass raise_err=True to the execWith* call.
Switch to using execWith* so that the command and its output can be
logged. To capture the output setup a logger named "program"
livemedia-creator captures all of this into program.log
The 'systemctl' command can be used to enable, disable, or mask systemd
units inside the runtime being modified. Modify runtime-postinstall.tmpl
to use the 'systemctl' command.
We also no longer remove quota*.service or kexec*.service, since
these aren't enabled by default. And systemd-remount-api-vfs.service
should work correctly now, so we can leave it alone as well.
The '-cmd' functionality depends on the individual lorax template
commands raising errors, so they shouldn't do sys.exit().
Also, capture stderr along with stdout, and put both in the log.
Some packages are critical to the compose. If --required
is specified in the template's installpkg command, lorax
will exit if the package is not available.
When considering a package's filelist (e.g. for things like removefrom
--allbut), we might need to also include the %ghost files, so make
_filelist() add them to its returned list.
This means that any (non-ignored) command error will cause lorax to
exit.
Do note, however, that some commands (e.g. remove, installpkg) don't
raise exceptions and therefore will not cause lorax to exit.
Makefile-style "-cmd" syntax lets us run a command and ignore any
resulting errors. This is a more general version of what copyif/moveif
were trying to accomplish, so we can drop those commands.
- Log the error message (and the line causing the error) to console
- Log the whole exception (with some excess junk removed) to debuglog
- don't immediately SystemExit if the template won't parse
- clean up some comments
This lets us easily do whitelisting instead of blacklisting during
runtime cleanup. For example:
removefrom xfsprogs --allbut /sbin/* /usr/sbin/xfs_admin
would remove everything from the xfsprogs package except files in /sbin
and /usr/sbin/xfs_admin.
A few things in runtime-cleanup have been converted to use --allbut. The
only difference in the created runtime image is that we're deleting
/usr/share/kde4 from fedora-logos.
make sure that runner.templatedir gets set to a useful default if
initialized with None, and and make sure we pass templatedir to
LoraxTemplateRunner.__init__ (so it'll get initialized properly)
emit a useful log message if we attempt to removepkg something that
isn't installed, or if a glob used in a removefrom line matches no
files.
this will help us keep the templates cleaner.
getdata(cmd) will return a generator that yields every token on every
line that starts with the token "cmd". getdata(cmd, mode="lines") will
yield a list for each line rather than every individual token.
this simplifies some things in __init__.py.
