First is Anaconda uses 6k blocks per file for its estimate, and it
fudges by 10% so adjust for those with an extra 10% of headroom just in
case.
Second is an Anaconda bug that won't allow it to do a kickstart install
to a disk smaller than 3000 MB. There is a PR to fix it upstream, but
for now the minimum size has to be 3000e9
This adds support for the optional blueprint section [customizations].
Use it like this:
[customizations]
hostname = yourhostnamehere
[[customiations.sshkey]]
user = root
key = root user key
Different versions of libgit2 act differently. Using TIME results in
some commits (like a revert) being listed correctly, but the rest being
listed in reverse order. Leaving it at the default works for
libgit2-0.26.3
This moves everything except the cmdline checking into run_creator in
pylorax.creator
It also rearranges some functions to prevent import loops, and adds a
utility function to imgutils (mkfsimage_from_disk for copying a
partition into a filesystem image).
This no longer uses the enabled configuration setting to select repos to
use. It uses everything in the repo_dir, and if system repos have not
been disabled it copies them into the repo_dir at startup, overwriting
the previous copy.
This reduces the amount of code in livemedia-creator to the cmdline
parsing and calling of the installer functions. Moving them into other
modules will allow them to be used by other projects, like the
lorax-composer API server.
filter(provides=...) doesn't work with paths. The release packages
provide system-release so just look for that instead of a file.
Now it finds the release package and selects it along with the
corresponding logos package.
Note, this has been broken since commit 431ca6ce
Commit 8edaefd4d1 added the ability to install specific NVR's of
packages, but it did not adjust the exclude operation to account for
this.
This patch fixes that, applying the exclude only to the name part of the
package NVR, and changes some variable names to pkgnvr/pkgnvrs to make
it more clear that the content has changed to <name>-<version>-<release>
Some lorax users run it from inside mock, which isn't able to detect
whether the host is in Permissive mode. This can lead to confusing
error messages, so this points them in the right direction.
When multiple units are passed to systemctl and one fails it doesn't
finish the others. Change the template command to call systemctl for
each unit individually.
This also removes the lvm2-activation-generator in runtime-cleanup.tmpl
This will allow anaconda to fetch kickstarts using https when installing
with fips=1
Leave vmlinuz and .vmlinuz.hmac in /boot
dracut-fips module needs the vmlinuz.hmac file in order to boot.
It seems that on rare occasions losetup can return before the /dev/loopX
is ready for use, causing problems with mkfs. This tries to make sure
that the loop device really is associated with the backing file before
continuing.
NOTE that using losetup --list -O to return the backing store
associated with the loop device can fail due to losetup truncating
the output filename if sysfs isn't setup. Instead of printing the full
path it will truncate it to 64 characters with a * at the end.
See util-linux lib/loopdev.c for the code that does this.
Use the existing get_loop_name function, which uses losetup -j, to lookup
the loop device associated with the backing store which should work the
same, just in the opposite direction.
For historical reasons, lorax used the 'anaconda' package as a
touchstone to determine the architecture for the build. At some
point, this package became a metapackage that pulls in both the
GUI and headless installers.
In the modular world, it's possible that only the core and TUI bits
may be available for use. The only subpackage of anaconda that is
guaranteed to be on any viable system is anaconda-core, so let's
switch to using that for the touchstone instead of the metapackage.

Also sort the expanded list of packages so that any failures will
be consistent instead of depending on the randomness of a set().
And add better logging when things fail.
The core issue is that repodata may have packages that match globs, but
they cannot actually be installed (eg. sigrok-firmware). This can cause
*some* of the globbed packages to be installed before hitting the
failure package.
With this change it will log the expanded list of packages if a glob is
used. It will skip any packages that fail to install when using
--optional with the glob, and continue to install the rest.

Previously lorax had no way to use repos with self-signed certificates.
This adds the --noverifyssl cmdline option which will ignore certificate
errors.
Resolves: rhbz#1430483
OSTree is a deduplicating hardlink store using a new file path
`/ostree`, which SELinux policy doesn't know about. However, OSTree
has SELinux support built in, and rpm-ostree (for example) uses this
to ensure the attributes on files stored there are simply always
correct. Relabeling it will corrupt it.
Hence, let's skip it.
Right now we dump all subprocess output to `program.log`. Unfortunately,
The pungi/koji stack doesn't know how to scrape out the lorax logs.
And even when running interactively, it's annoying that *some* fatal
errors show up on stderr, but if it's from a subprocess, I need to go
over and `tail program.log`.
Let's output the subprocess stderr directly, since the user is
going to want it prominently anyways.
anaconda-26.1 changed how package scriptlet failures are handled. They
are now fatal, and anaconda hangs after logging an Installation failure.
ERR packaging: Installation failed: PayloadInstallError('DNF error:
Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package mlocate',)
Catch this (the 'packaging: Installation failed' part) and terminate the
image creation.
This controls how big the root filesystem is for the squashfs used in
the boot.iso, the default is 2GiB.
Note that larger rootfs sizes will require more memory and may cause the
build to fail.
I'm working on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WorkstationOstree and when
using lorax to make an installer ISO with content embedded, I run out
of disk space since the desktop+various apps is large.
Since this ends up being compressed anyways, let's just bump the
currently arbitrary `2` to `10` - the only real cost I can think of is
going to be a few more superblock entries.
If the query filter doesn't return anything it would just ignore the
install request instead of logging and raising an error when
required=True.
This checks for no packages matching, and if required is True raises an
error after all of the requested packages have been processed, instead
of after the first one to fail.
Previous versions of lorax assumed that installpkg was optional, and
would continue on if the PKGGLOB didn't match anything. But the majority
of the packages are required so this allows the boot.iso to be built
with missing packages that are hard to track down.
It makes more sense to make the PKGGLOB required and to flag the
few exceptions to this with --optional.
DNF doesn't want users to access base.logging anymore.
Lorax already takes over the "dnf" logger and directs it to ./dnf.log,
so it wasn't really being used.
This raises the debug level to DNF's custom DDEBUG, and sets it up so
that dnf.librepo.log and hawkey.log are next to dnf.log
Before attempting to cleanup any dangling anaconda mounts copy the
anaconda logs to their final location.
Also, catch failures to cleanup the mounts, log it, and continue trying
the other mountpoints. A cleanup failure will result in an InstallError
instead of a CalledProcessError.
Fedora now has a edk2 package so use the OVMF code from there. This also
adds using a copy of OVMF_VARS for each boot instead of reusing the one
provided by the package.
In some cases the initramfs may not be present in /boot to save space.
Use it if present, otherwise use the kernel version to recreate the name
of it.
This also fixes problems with dracut running out of space when not using
--live-rootfs-keep-size
There's no reason to require the initramfs when we can rebuild it using
the version from the kernel. This adds handling of missing initramfs so
that lmc kickstarts can remove it from the squashfs, saving about 40M on
the iso.
This makes sure the contents of /boot are at the expected locations in
/boot and in sys_root. For partitioned images it mounts the separate
/boot partition on /boot. For both fsimage and partitioned images ir
binf mounts it to sys_root so that the kernel+initrd can be found.
The boot directory isn't always named boot.0, so wildcard it and let the
count check handle failure if there is more than 1.
umount tries to delete a mountpoint if it has lorax.imgutils in the
path. This doesn't work right if you try to umount something mounted
deeper on the path.
This adds a delete option, which is True by default, to skip the delete.
If an anaconda no-virt run crashes it can leave things mounted under
/mnt/sysimage. Previously anaconda-cleanup was used to handle this, but
it will also try to cleanup host mountpoints which isn't desired.
When using the template install command copying the same file to itself
shouldn't crash. Just log the error and continue.
Also copy the s390 configuration files for use with livemedia-creator

When an image name hasn't been passed, and the compression type is
something other than xz, the default image name should use the user
specified compression suffix.
Resolves: rhbz#1318958
Some cases of mksquashfs were not using -Xbcj when it is available for
the arch. This adds a function to return the correct args based on the
arch and the cmdline args.
Allow the template to select a different compression type or arguments
for the installimg command.
On 32bit builds running inside a mock xz sees the full amount of system
memory which can result in xz failing with a memory error. This allows
the template to limit the amount of memory it tries to use.
lmc --no-virt was switching selinux to permissive if it was enforcing
and restore it when done. This works fine when it is the only session
running, but would cause problems if it was run in parallel.
It now only checks the state and exits with an error if it isn't already
disabled or in Permissive mode.
Users will need to run setenforce 0 before running lmc.
If there isn't enough space for DNF to download packages it will log:
"Not enough disk space to download the packages."
So add this to the messages in monitor that trigger an error.
This makes package selection a little more roundabout, but it allows for
unused packages (and their dependencies) to be removed from globs during
the install phase.
dnf.subject.Subject is the class used by dnf's Base.install to select
packages, so the behavior of installpkg without --except options is the
same as it was before.
commit 4699c88109 changed how the disk
size is estimated and not all users took into account that the return
value is in MiB.
This would result in qemu based iso installations having a rootfs.img
that was 1024x too large.
Something is causing problems with the ext4 rootfs.img when running with
no-virt inside koji. This results in a failed image that looks good
until you try to boot it.
make_squashfs will now return False if it fails, and make_live_image
will return None (instead of the result path). lmc will exit with a 1
and log an error.
When using no-virt the runtime filesystem size comes from the kickstart.
For virt installs lmc was creating a runtime filesystem that was just
slightly larger than the space used by the files installed by anaconda.
This can run into problems with larger filesystem. It is also
inconsistent behavior between virt and no-virt installations.
With this commit the virt runtime filesystem will also come from the
kickstart.
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.
When running a no-virt installation it was parsing the kickstart url
method and passing it to anaconda using --repo which prevents it from
working with url --mirrorlist method. There is no good reason to do
this, anaconda gets the method directly from the kickstart when it isn't
on the cmdline.
This allows lorax to support multiple templates.
If there is no templates.d under the sharedir (/usr/share/lorax or the
directory passed by --sharedir) then the templates in that directory
will be used as they were previously.
If there are directories under templates.d the first one will be used,
unless --sharedir points to a specific one.
Use 4k blocks for the ext4 filesystem. Run fsck on the filesystem to
make sure deleted blocks are actually zeroed, and pass -Xbcj to
mksquashfs.
4k blocks and -Xbcj decreases the size by 2-6% depending on the
filesystem size. Zeroing the blocks of the ext4 fs improves things
dramatically. The problem is that DNF downloads the rpms before
installing them. In addition to forcing us to use a larger filesystem
than we would like it leaves data that is difficult to compress on the
image. The downloaded files are removed, but need to be zeroed out so
that mksquashfs can compress it.
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
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.
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 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.
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 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
When running the transaction in a separate process it crashes if you use
a https repo source. There's really no need for threads or processes in
lorax so drop it.
Also switched to using the DNF TransactionProgress API for progress
reporting.
The system the image boots on will likely not match the host where lorax
was run, and in some cases this can cause systems to hang.
Resolves: rhbz#1258498
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.
Some callers expect CalledProcessError.output to have the output, so
pass up the stdout + stderr output.
This means failed runcmd template commands will log to program.log and
lorax.log
After the cleanup step, check that everything in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
can still run. Currently, this just checks that ELF files have
everything they need to link, and scripts have an interpreter.
Verifying is on by default but can be skipped with --noverify
When this is too small the rootfs can run into problems when used with a
live system. Doubling it leaves enough space for the system to run
properly during the installation and since it's all compresses it
doesn't make the image noticeably bigger.
Add a 'lower' filter to the templates to replace string.lower which no
longer exists. Fix udev_escape, the strings are already unicode, and
drop --chdir from runcmd. It wasn't ever used, and passing cwd to the
new runcmd isn't supported.
Fix up 2to3 complaints. I've decided to do with wrapping list
comprehension inside list() to get the generators to run in several
places instead of list(map( or list(filter( which seem less readable to
me.
If it terminates really badly (e.g. with SIGSEGV), it doesn't report any error,
just doesn't put anything to the queue. So instead of just blindly waiting on
the queue forever, check that the process is still alive if we don't get any
message in long time interval.
I originally added --add-template to support doing something similar
to pungi, which injects content into the system to be used by default.
However, this causes the content to be part of the squashfs, which
means PXE installations have to download significantly more data that
they may not need (if they actually want to pull the tree data from
the network, which is not an unusual case).
What I actually need is to be able to modify *both* the runtime image
and the arch-specific content. For the runtime, I need to change
/usr/share/anaconda/interactive-defaults.ks to point to the new
content. (Although, potentially we could patch Anaconda itself to
auto-detect an ostree repository configured in disk image, similar to
what it does for yum repositories)
For the arch-specfic image, I want to drop my content into the ISO
root.
So this patch adds --add-arch-template and --add-arch-template-var
in order to do the latter, while preserving the --add-template
to affect the runtime image.
Further, the templates will automatically graft in a directory named
"iso-graft/" from the working directory (if it exists).
(I suggest that external templates create a subdirectory named
"content" to avoid clashes with any future lorax work)
Thus, this will be used by the Atomic Host lorax templates to inject
content/repo, but could be used by e.g. pungi to add content/rpms as
well.
I tried to avoid code deduplication by creating a new template for the
product.img bits and this, but that broke because the parent boot.iso
code needs access to the `${imggraft}` variable. I think a real fix
here would involve turning the product.img, content/, *and* boot.iso
into a new template.
pylorax unconditionally calls reset() on the dbo, so provide an empty
method to keep it happy.
The lmc dbo is minimal because it is only used for creating the iso, not
anything related to package installation.
The stage2 image can be either LiveOS/squashfs.img or it can be
images/install.img, adjust the IsoMountpoint for this and rename the
flag to .stage2 instead of .liveos
removekmod GLOB [GLOB...] --allbut KEEPGLOB [KEEPGLOB...]
This can be used to remove kernel modules from under
/lib/modules/*/kernel/ while keeping specific items. This should be
easier than constructing find arguments to select the right things to
save.
It appears that reset+fill_sack will now do the right thing and load the
state of the installed packages. Drop the hack with deleting the object.
Also add a double-check to make sure there really is a list of files
for anaconda-core before we run off and make an image without removing
anything.
--cachedir allows the user to specify where the DNF cache is located.
This doesn't actually appear to do much since dnf erases the cache when
it is done. May be useful in the future.
--workdir sets the top level directory for lorax to use for installing
packages, creating installtree and installroot. Normally a temporary
directory under /var/tmp.
Note that the workdir will *not* be removed if there is an error setting
up the DNF object.
--force skips checking if the output directory exists, allowing things
like pungi to use lorax to place the output next to the repo tree it has
already created.
This is a workaround for a current dnf bug, it doesn't update the state
of the packages after they are installed so we tear down the base dnf
object and create a new one pointing to the installroot.
There is an additional issue with the list of files returned, hawkey and
dnf don't appear to make a distinction between files, dirs and ghosted
dirs like yum did, this can result in too much being removed (eg. all of
/etc/selinux/) so we only remove files not directories.
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.
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

The aarch64 change to use shim (6907567) also stopped using mixed-case

tar recurses into directories by default, but find is feeding it all the

The 32MiB size limit does not apply to upgrade.img since it's installed

a bad thing to know about.

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

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

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

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.
Resolves: rhbz#1019728
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.
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.
--location specifies an iso directory tree to be used by virt-install
instead of the iso. This allows you to update the initrd in the tree for
debugging.
virt-install uses the images/pxeboot/ directory for initrd.img and
vmlinux.
An iso is still required for the LiveOS/squashfs.img stage2 file.
live media isn't exactly the same as the Anaconda install media. Right
now this amounts to needing a root= cmdline argument but in the future
there may be other differences.
This also reverts 5437557846 on the new copies of the templates.
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
- Add a check to livemedia-creator for /usr/bin/virt-install (#841566)
- Suggest the correct package for livemedia-creator's libvirt (#841552)
- Add to list of packages needed to build a livemedia-creator iso (#841594)
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.
There's something strange going on where unmounting a hfsplus volume
immediately after mounting it will fail with EBUSY.
This makes the umount fail, which makes the rmdir fail, which causes a
traceback, which breaks mkefiboot --apple.
It works fine if you wait a second and retry.. so do that.
Also, add the "lazy" argument so you can do lazy unmounts if you like.
