When this is too small the rootfs can run into problems when used with a
live system. Doubling it leaves enough space for the system to run
properly during the installation and since it's all compresses it
doesn't make the image noticeably bigger.
Add a 'lower' filter to the templates to replace string.lower which no
longer exists. Fix udev_escape, the strings are already unicode, and
drop --chdir from runcmd. It wasn't ever used, and passing cwd to the
new runcmd isn't supported.
Fix up 2to3 complaints. I've decided to do with wrapping list
comprehension inside list() to get the generators to run in several
places instead of list(map( or list(filter( which seem less readable to
me.
If it terminates really badly (e.g. with SIGSEGV), it doesn't report any error,
just doesn't put anything to the queue. So instead of just blindly waiting on
the queue forever, check that the process is still alive if we don't get any
message in long time interval.
I originally added --add-template to support doing something similar
to pungi, which injects content into the system to be used by default.
However, this causes the content to be part of the squashfs, which
means PXE installations have to download significantly more data that
they may not need (if they actually want to pull the tree data from
the network, which is not an unusual case).
What I actually need is to be able to modify *both* the runtime image
and the arch-specific content. For the runtime, I need to change
/usr/share/anaconda/interactive-defaults.ks to point to the new
content. (Although, potentially we could patch Anaconda itself to
auto-detect an ostree repository configured in disk image, similar to
what it does for yum repositories)
For the arch-specfic image, I want to drop my content into the ISO
root.
So this patch adds --add-arch-template and --add-arch-template-var
in order to do the latter, while preserving the --add-template
to affect the runtime image.
Further, the templates will automatically graft in a directory named
"iso-graft/" from the working directory (if it exists).
(I suggest that external templates create a subdirectory named
"content" to avoid clashes with any future lorax work)
Thus, this will be used by the Atomic Host lorax templates to inject
content/repo, but could be used by e.g. pungi to add content/rpms as
well.
I tried to avoid code deduplication by creating a new template for the
product.img bits and this, but that broke because the parent boot.iso
code needs access to the `${imggraft}` variable. I think a real fix
here would involve turning the product.img, content/, *and* boot.iso
into a new template.
pylorax unconditionally calls reset() on the dbo, so provide an empty
method to keep it happy.
The lmc dbo is minimal because it is only used for creating the iso, not
anything related to package installation.
The stage2 image can be either LiveOS/squashfs.img or it can be
images/install.img, adjust the IsoMountpoint for this and rename the
flag to .stage2 instead of .liveos
removekmod GLOB [GLOB...] --allbut KEEPGLOB [KEEPGLOB...]
This can be used to remove kernel modules from under
/lib/modules/*/kernel/ while keeping specific items. This should be
easier than constructing find arguments to select the right things to
save.
It appears that reset+fill_sack will now do the right thing and load the
state of the installed packages. Drop the hack with deleting the object.
Also add a double-check to make sure there really is a list of files
for anaconda-core before we run off and make an image without removing
anything.
--cachedir allows the user to specify where the DNF cache is located.
This doesn't actually appear to do much since dnf erases the cache when
it is done. May be useful in the future.
--workdir sets the top level directory for lorax to use for installing
packages, creating installtree and installroot. Normally a temporary
directory under /var/tmp.
Note that the workdir will *not* be removed if there is an error setting
up the DNF object.
--force skips checking if the output directory exists, allowing things
like pungi to use lorax to place the output next to the repo tree it has
already created.
This is a workaround for a current dnf bug, it doesn't update the state
of the packages after they are installed so we tear down the base dnf
object and create a new one pointing to the installroot.
There is an additional issue with the list of files returned, hawkey and
dnf don't appear to make a distinction between files, dirs and ghosted
dirs like yum did, this can result in too much being removed (eg. all of
/etc/selinux/) so we only remove files not directories.
pylorax users will need to change to using dnf and pass a dnf.Base()
object as the dbo argument instead of a yum object as the yum or ybo
argument. See the lorax script for an example of how to do this.
The lorax cmdline argument --excludepkgs has been removed since dnf
doesn't appear to have any way to support it and packages should be
controlled using templates anyway.
The directory where the --logfile is located is also used for other log
files and for the anaconda logs when using --no-virt. Create the parent
directories if they don't exist.
--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.
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/
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).
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 ${LORAXDIR}/product/ images/product.img
The aarch64 change to use shim (6907567) also stopped using mixed-case
names for BOOT${efiarch}.efi (so it's always .EFI and ${efiarch} is X64
IA32 AA64 etc. now), and mkefiboot needs to match that.

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.

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.
