The latest POWER platform allows a host machine to configure guests
running in a different endian mode. Guests configured in this way may
have their bootloader configuration file corrupted after installation if
the file was not fully written to disk. The host machine would read the
journal and try to finish writing the file in the wrong endian mode.
Issuing an fsfreeze and unfreeze gives more assurance that the
configuration file is properly written before a reboot; this patch adds
fsfreeze to the installer runtime environment.

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.
With commit fe17f97 changing the default from optional to required there's
a few packages that aren't currently supported on aarch64 that break the
compose. In particular aarch64 currently still doesn't have kexec, with luck
that might change in the F-25 cycle but until it does we need to have an
exception.

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.
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
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
