We use this to set various sysctl settings, like setting kernel.printk=1
so we don't get the screen all crudded up with kernel messages during
text-mode installs.
There's a small amount of additional metadata required for the Mac boot
images to appear as bootable devices in the startup preferencs, so add
support for generating that.

Since noloader mounts stuff under /run/install, but anaconda (and
people's scripts etc.) look under /mnt/install, make a symlink so
everything works as expected.
Install the anaconda dracut module during 'install', use it when
rebuilding initramfs, and clean it up afterward.
Also install '.buildstamp' into the initramfs (the anconda module wants
it).
In order for grub to be able to read the kernel regardless of whether
the image is written to a CD or a USB stick, it's necessary to autoprobe
for the filesystem using the findiso command. Add it to the grub config.
The installer no longer has access to the initrd's root. We need to
copy any needed files over to /sysroot before switching root. This
copies *.cfg and *.ks files.
It also adds the ability to add dracut hook scripts to the initramfs
from /usr/share/lorax/dracut_hooks/
This re-adds commit af6d4e2c50 which was
lost during the switch to the treebuilder branch.
This doesn't get rid of the gtk2 stuff yet, though. The intention here is
that you can use this lorax to generate an image containing either the old
anaconda or the newui branch, simply by including a different repo in your
tree composition kickstart file.
Also, it appears that some things in the tree still require gtk2 so we may
be stuck with both for the forseeable future.
If yaboot so much as catches a whiff of a backslash in yaboot.conf, it
will reject the entire file. No bootloader config means no booting.
So as long as we're still using yaboot on PPC, we need to use ISO volume
labels it can handle. So: filter the isolabel, replacing any non-ASCII
characters with underscores.
So there's actually two copies of yaboot on a PPC image, and they each
use different config files:
ppc/chrp/yaboot --> /etc/yaboot.conf
ppc/mac/yaboot --> /ppc/ppc{32,64}/yaboot.conf
So we need two copies of yaboot.conf - one in each place - to
boot properly (or all three if we're making hybrid images). Whee!
The comments should now make this more clear for future reference.
We were appending to /etc/shadow when previous versions of lorax
overwrote it, so we ended up with two conflicting entries for "root".
Instead:
- keep existing /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd contents
- add new entries for "install" user
- remove password from existing "root" entry in /etc/shadow
Also, we don't need to create the 'sshd' user, because the
openssh-server %post script does that for us.
Actual content changes:
- {High,Low}Contrast themes moved to gnome-themes-standard, so remove
them from there. Also remove HighContrastInverse theme.
- Removed metacity 'Atlanta' theme - 'Adwaita' is the default metacity
theme these days.
ntfsresize is currently living in the ntfsprogs package, which (for
whatever reason) isn't getting automatically pulled into the runtime
environment anymore.
So: install ntfsprogs in runtime-install, and remove everything but
ntfsresize in runtime-cleanup.
Makefile-style "-cmd" syntax lets us run a command and ignore any
resulting errors. This is a more general version of what copyif/moveif
were trying to accomplish, so we can drop those commands.
symlinking /modules to '/lib/modules' inside the runtime image is fine,
but since we're operating outside the runtime image, the absolute
symlink will point to the host's /lib/modules, which can cause us to
delete kernel modules. Yikes.
Instead:
1) use /lib/modules rather than the symlink, and
2) use a relative symlink, just to be safe.
move arch-specific stuff to arch-specific subdirs and move all the
common stuff to a subdir named 'common'. Also, rename '.profile' and
'.bash_history' so you actually see them when you 'ls' the 'common' dir.
also added some helpful(?) comments to the templates.
Patch by Ales Kozumplik <akozumpl@redhat.com>
The value syslogd provides at this early point when kickstart starts is
"(none)". This makes the receiving syslog unable to parse the incoming
messages.
New images find their root device by looking at the CDLABEL. Since pungi
is building ISO images separately from lorax, if it uses a different ISO
Volume Label we'll end up with unbootable images.
This changes the volume labels to match what pungi uses, so both should
boot OK.
Since pungi doesn't know that images/install.img needs to be moved to
LiveOS/squashfs.img for images to be "live", they aren't bootable.
This is the simple solution to the problem. Thanks to Karsten Hopp
for the original patch.
This lets us easily do whitelisting instead of blacklisting during
runtime cleanup. For example:
removefrom xfsprogs --allbut /sbin/* /usr/sbin/xfs_admin
would remove everything from the xfsprogs package except files in /sbin
and /usr/sbin/xfs_admin.
A few things in runtime-cleanup have been converted to use --allbut. The
only difference in the created runtime image is that we're deleting
/usr/share/kde4 from fedora-logos.
From: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
If we're producing EFI bootable images then we should also support
making them bootable from USB sticks. This adds support for doing so.
- use libdir in GConf2
- delete redundant removals of /usr/share/gnome/*
- remove systemd units for nfs-utils
- remove all of notification-daemon rather than piece-by-piece
- don't try to delete non-existent libldif from openldap
- /usr/sbin/xfs_bmapd is actually /usr/sbin/xfs_bmap
- remove /etc/* from yum rather than etc/*
also make sure we clean a bunch more unneeded services, but don't bother
deleting target files that would just be ignored anyway.
also also, delete everything in /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants
so that we don't get readahead stuff in anaconda.
Add commentary for a bunch of the removepkg lines, and drop a bunch of
things that were in the list that weren't being installed anyway. Also
drop some redundant removepkg lines about chkconfig.
