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.
(cherry picked from commit d9c23d1bce)
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.
