--location specifies an iso directory tree to be used by virt-install
instead of the iso. This allows you to update the initrd in the tree for
debugging.
virt-install uses the images/pxeboot/ directory for initrd.img and
vmlinux.
An iso is still required for the LiveOS/squashfs.img stage2 file.
Anaconda runtime is already in memory, no need to use tmpfs here. In
fact use of tmpfs here will overwrite any updates content that was put
in place by dracut.
live media isn't exactly the same as the Anaconda install media. Right
now this amounts to needing a root= cmdline argument but in the future
there may be other differences.
This also reverts 5437557846 on the new copies of the templates.
Switch to using execWith* so that the command and its output can be
logged. To capture the output setup a logger named "program"
livemedia-creator captures all of this into program.log
- Add a check to livemedia-creator for /usr/bin/virt-install (#841566)
- Suggest the correct package for livemedia-creator's libvirt (#841552)
- Add to list of packages needed to build a livemedia-creator iso (#841594)
Using root= overrides the anaconda magic code for finding product.img
and updates.img. Anaconda can find the CDROM itself without needing
root=, though, so we can omit it safely for boot.iso.
The 'systemctl' command can be used to enable, disable, or mask systemd
units inside the runtime being modified. Modify runtime-postinstall.tmpl
to use the 'systemctl' command.
We also no longer remove quota*.service or kexec*.service, since
these aren't enabled by default. And systemd-remount-api-vfs.service
should work correctly now, so we can leave it alone as well.
We need the initramfs around to reboot properly. If it's packed up in
/boot we need this service to unpack it. If it's not there, the service
does nothing, so this patch won't hurt anything.
Also add pigz, which speeds up compression nicely (for use in
anaconda-cleanup-initramfs.service).
Now that the runtime contents remain compressed and aren't always stored
in RAM, it generally takes less RAM to keep these around than to run
'localedef' in anaconda.
This switches us back to the old pre-lorax method for setting up the
locale archive - see e.g. anaconda commit ea71816d
The '-cmd' functionality depends on the individual lorax template
commands raising errors, so they shouldn't do sys.exit().
Also, capture stderr along with stdout, and put both in the log.
