The lorax-composer program will launch a BDCS compatible API server
using Flask and Gevent. Currently this is a skeleton application with
only one active route (/api/v0/status).
The API code lives in ./src/pylorax/api/v0.py with related code in other
pylorax/api/* modules.
This reduces the amount of code in livemedia-creator to the cmdline
parsing and calling of the installer functions. Moving them into other
modules will allow them to be used by other projects, like the
lorax-composer API server.
It appears that sometimes the loop device doesn't get setup properly,
this may be a race with other users of loop devices on the system, or
some other mechanism that isn't understood.
To try and prevent total failure when this happens this patch retries
the loop setup 3 times before giving up. Previously it would wait for
the loop device to appear (checking 5 times), that operation is now
executed 3 times with a new losetup attempt each time.

This requires OVMF to be setup on the system, and for the kickstart to
create a /boot/efi/ partition. You can then use it to create UEFI
bootable partitioned disk images.
The UEFI firmware needs to be installed manually on the system, either
in the default location of /usr/share/OVMF/ or use --ovmf-path to point
to the location.

Use it to override the default dracut arguments (displayed as part of
the --help output). If you want to extend the default arguments they
all need to be passed in on the cmdline as well. eg.
--dracut-arg='--xz' --dracut-arg='--install /.buildstamp' ...

This can't be done the same way as on master because there is no rpm
database inside the installroot to run rpm -qa against. Do it at the end
of the yum transaction.

This uses the --release value as the yum releasever so that $releasever
in a --repo will work.
It also turns on assumeyes so that any gpgkey entries in the .repo file
will be installed and used automatically if gpgcheck is enabled for the
repo.

When multiple units are passed to systemctl and one fails it doesn't
finish the others. Change the template command to call systemctl for
each unit individually.
This also removes the lvm2-activation-generator in runtime-cleanup.tmpl

This will allow anaconda to fetch kickstarts using https when installing
with fips=1
Leave vmlinuz and .vmlinuz.hmac in /boot
dracut-fips module needs the vmlinuz.hmac file in order to boot.

The previous code used losetup --list -O to return the backing store
associated with the loop device. This can fail due to losetup truncating
the output filename if sysfs isn't setup. Instead of printing the full
path it will truncate it to 64 characters with a * at the end.
See util-linux lib/loopdev.c for the code that does this.
This commit changes it to use the existing get_loop_name function, which
uses losetup -j to lookup the loop device associated with the backing
store which avoids the truncation problem.

This makes it easier to specify existing repos with extra args, eg.
/etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo generated by subscription-manager.

Boot on 32bit UEFI requires this package. Legacy grub2-efi package
is satisfied only with grub2-efi-x64 package and grub2-efi-ia32 is missing.
Resolves: rhbz#1458937
It seems that on rare occasions losetup can return before the /dev/loopX
is ready for use, causing problems with mkfs. This tries to make sure
that the loop device really is associated with the backing file before
continuing.
Resolves: rhbz#1462150
Make sure grub2-efi-*-cdboot is included in the live media kickstart,
add some documentation about creating UEFI disk images, and add ia32 to
the minimal example (it will need to be commented out for other arches).
