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.

As of kernel-3.18.0-0.54 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.

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.

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.

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.

The help content path has been changed to /usr/share/anaconda/help,
so this Lorax change is no longer needed.
This reverts commit 8bd3d8d232.

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.

Incidentally, this should fix are aych bee zee one zero four three two
seven four.
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...)

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.

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.

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.

--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.

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.

The installation from DVD on s390x needs setting the target disks and
network information that are usually set by editing the generic.prm file.
By including the "rd.cmdline=ask" parameter dracut will open a simple
dialog so the user can enter the required information.
