Anaconda, Lorax, lorax-composer, and livemedia-creator can all now run
with SELinux in Enforcing mode. It does not need to be disabled and if
there are denials they should be reported as a bug.
Log the current state of SELinux when starting, update the
documentation.
If we leave the root account w/o a password people will use it that way,
leading to insecure images. Also if we use a default password. So lock
the root account in the templates.
Users will need to do one of these things:
1. Use [[customizations.user]] in their blueprint to configure root or
another user.
2. Use [[customizations.sshkey]] to set a key for root
2. Install a package that configures a user at install time
3. Install a package that sets up a user at boot time (eg. cloud-init)
This also drops the auth line from the kickstart templates, allowing it
to use the default password algoritm instead of md5.

This differs from lmc's --make-ami in that creates a full disk image instead of
an fsimage. Create a raw disk image with a / and /boot partitions, and enable
sshd, chronyd, and cockpit by default.
This makes it easier to generate new documentation for
http://weldr.io/lorax/
It requires having a current welder/lorax-composer:latest image (created with
the test-in-docker target), then run docs-in-docker to rerun sphinx with
the docs/html directory mounted from the container.
We had only been indirectly pulling in GConf, and anyways
nothing was listening to these keys.
<kalev> I still think it's a fallout from 27a90d973f
Really in general, if we wanted to make changes like this
it'd probably be a lot simpler to do them on boot or so.

mock now uses systemd-nspawn by default, but it cannot setup the
/dev/loop* nodes that are needed by lorax and livemedia-creator so users
will need to pass --old-chroot to mock if they are using it.
These were set by livecd-creator, and the %post section was used to
setup the license files on the / of the iso which will not work from
inside anaconda so drop it completely.
Because --no-virt uses a fsimage disk you can't create a /boot
partition. This kickstart will also work for creating the PXE files
inside a mock environment.
Also rename rhel-atomic-pxe-live.ks to fedora-atomic-pxe-live.ks
Update the URL, add network command where needed, make sure all auth
commands are using sha512 now.
Removed the fedora-livemedia-ec2 example, Fedora doesn't have grub and
it has never really been tested.
Switching to using qemu directly allows lmc to be more flexible. It can
now run from inside a mock chroot for creation of all image types,
inculding disk images, and can take advantage of KVM on the host system
if /dev/kvm device is present inside the mock.
It should also be possible to create cross-arch images, but without kvm
available this is likely to be a very slow option.
Instead of reusing --image-name add a new argument to name the iso. This
way the disk image can be given a unique name with --image-name and the
iso can be named something different.
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
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.
systemd uses /var/lib/systemd/random-seed to add entropy to /dev/urandom
at boot time. During image creation this file is created, and if not
removed everything using the image will be adding the same seed.
This is only additional entropy, NOT a seed in the sense of a starting
point for a PRNG, so it will be mixed with other entropy as the system
runs. It isn't a good idea to use the same value everywhere so make sure
it is removed in %post

fedup is deprecated and abandoned. Let's save time and disk by not
building `upgrade.img` when nothing is going to use it anymore.
For the record, performing upgrades using an initramfs from the new
system turns out to be fragile and hard to support:
* dracut initramfs isn't generic enough to handle booting all systems
(e.g. missing vconsole.conf means you get keymaps wrong, so users
can't unlock encrypted disks)
* The ABI differences between the two versions of plymouth, systemd,
etc. requires nasty workarounds at best and causes nightmarish
systemd crashes at worst
This patch removes all the code that built and installed `upgrade.img`.
For backwards compatibility, the API retains the `doupgrade` keyword
argument, and the `--noupgrade` flag is still accepted.
Run 'make docs' to update the apidocs.
Also moves the README.livemedia-creator and README.product into docs
as ReST documents. They will be installed in /usr/share/doc/lorax/
by the rpm package.
We don't need biosboot partitions, and the urls should point to rawhide.
On minimal installs dracut needs to have tar and dracut-network
explicitly included.
--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.
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.
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.
Also adds a check for a bad url repo, and fix ram calculation for
appliance mode. Updates the README.livemedia-creator documentation.
