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/
Virtual machines easily get starved for randomness, and Anaconda insists
on sufficient amounts of entropy when the user requests LUKS disk
encryption. As a result, such installations can hang until Anaconda gives
up (after 10 minutes) and makes do with whatever entropy is available.
The virtualization host can feed randomness to the guest, unblocking the
installation. However, the guest can only consume that randomness through
the virtio-rng module. Let's not remove that module.

Resolves: rhbz#1179000
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).
As of fedora kernel kernel-3.17.4-302.fc21 aarch64 can sort out what to
use for the console on its own, so drop the console= from the aarch64
grub2-efi.cfg template.
Older versions of petitboot don't understand the for loop and won't
boot. We also don't shipt 32 bit media anymore so there is no reason
for this to remain.
To make it easier for users to add product and updates images look for
any packages that provide lorax-product-* or lorax-updates-*

This reverts commit bc9b40f18f.
anaconda-21.48.14-1 will revert to the below behavior, so remove the virtual
provide that was added for F21 Alpha/Beta.
You must include a repo in your installation environment that has an id
matching the lower case first part of your product name when split at the '-'
character.
If you don't do that closest mirror will not work.
For Fedora products this means including ONE repo with an id of
'fedora'.
With these templates if a package has installed files in
/usr/share/lorax/product or /usr/share/lorax/updates/ they will be used
to create product.img and/or updates.img which will be included in the
images/ directory of the iso and of the final output tree.
These can be used to customize the installation environment or provide
updates. See README.product for current documentation.
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 ${LORAXDIR}/product/ images/product.img
We started including it as an unintended side-effect of commit 9ca487f8.
lvm doesn't like it when there are multiple 'global' sections in lvm.conf,
and we add one right at the end of that block. We expect ours to be the
file's only content.
The help content path has been changed to /usr/share/anaconda/help,
so this Lorax change is no longer needed.
This reverts commit 2bd4637336 and commit 05ebf4ffcd.
The aarch64 change to use shim (6907567) also stopped using mixed-case
names for BOOT${efiarch}.efi (so it's always .EFI and ${efiarch} is X64
IA32 AA64 etc. now), and mkefiboot needs to match that.

We have shim and grub working together on aarch64 now, so we may as well
use them.
(this also makes the case of boot${arch}.efi not mixed-case, which
should guarantee it's in FAT rather than VFAT...)

A string passed to runcmd cannot contain a pipe character. So instead
of further find magic, I'm just going to move the directory out of the
way, take care of the deletion, and then move it back.
tar recurses into directories by default, but find is feeding it all the
files and directories so the tar it produces is considerably larger than
it needs to be due to duplicate files. Add --no-recursion flag so that
tar will only add the specific files and directories piped to it by find.

(cherry picked from commit a8681aca4e)
at-spi is the old accessibility library, deprecated in these gtk3 times
by at-spi2-atk. at-spi-corba has been replaced with atk-bridge.
at-spi2-atk is a dependency of gtk3, so there's no need to explicitly
add it.
This is a virtual provides that should install the product specific yum
repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ with the one matching the product name
enabled. Eg. fedora-server.repo with an id of fedora-server and
enabled=1
Anaconda will then use this repository when 'Closest Mirror' is selected
as the installation source.

The 32MiB size limit does not apply to upgrade.img since it's installed
to /boot by redhat-upgrade-tool instead of downloaded through TFTP. The
warning in rebuild_initrds will still be triggered by an upgrade.img
over the limit, but this doesn't halt the compose and it's probably not
a bad thing to know about.
