Currently, yaboot is the ISO boot loader in fedora and the Fedora on
POWER team is making an effort in order to replace it by GRUB2 in the
F20 release cycle. I'm sending a lorax patch so you guys can comment
on it. I'm planning to create a feature page for that too.
This patch only change the lorax template for ppc and should not
affect other archs, like x86.

The ppc config files were missing from the live config_files directory
and ppc needs the correct lib directory so lmc has been switched to use
ArchData driven from the installed kernel arch.

rpm-ostree is a new payload type available in Anaconda, will be used
by RHEL Atomic Host.

lockdown.efi only exists in the beta, but it'll probably also exist in
the 7.1 beta. So don't toss this stuff out completely, but don't use it
if shim doesn't provide lockdown.efi either.

The background images are not used during install, as well as a number
of other items from redhat-logos. There was also a bug -- product.name
did not expand to 'redhat' so it wasn't removing anything from the -logos
package.

Right now, logind reserves tty6 for a login shell, which is not what we
want - normally anaconda puts Xorg there, and there's no need for a
login prompt anyway.
This configures logind to activate "anaconda-shell@.service" when a user
switches to an unused tty, and reserves tty2 for that purpose (which is
where users expect a shell anyway).
This will avoid us having login prompts that users don't know what to do
with. It also probably saves us a little bit of RAM.
Use redhat-upgrade-dracut for the RHEL version of the system-upgrade
dracut module. upgrade.img also needs the convertfs module for upgrades
from RHEL6.

The xkeybard-config .mo files are needed to translate the layout
switching options. The xklavier calls in anaconda will automatically
translate the option strings as long as the translations are present.
In fips mode creation of the protocol 1 key causes it to hang. This
removes the explicit HostKey entries and lets sshd decide which keys to
create when it starts.
Add a command that opens the anaconda.log file located in /tmp
with less. The command is added as the most recently used.

It's pretty pointless to copy data from /run/log/journal to
/var/log/journal, since both of those are in-memory filesystems.
This should somewhat reduce RAM use during installation.
Resolves this error on s390x:
...
running runtime-install.tmpl
installpkg modutils failed: No package(s) available to install
Looking for extra fedup-dracut packages...

dracut tries to build hostonly initrd by default without the nohostonly
package/config; this results in a bunch of error messages about missing
files in proc and sys, and then the resulting initrd doesn't work 'cuz
it doesn't have any drivers for anything.
Make kernel args the same in every config.
Put 'quiet' at the end of the line - it's usually the first thing a user removes when debugging.
Fill missing product versions in.
Distinguish between 'install' (installation media) and 'start' (live media).
The list of ARM platforms was represented as a static list to be
installed in .treeinfo for Beaker support, but as ARM moves to use
the multiplatform kernel the platform specific kernel images will
no longer be needed. This process is beginning in F18 (3.7 kernel)
with HighBank being the first to use the baseline kernel. Due to
this change, there will be no 'highbank' platform images, but Beaker
tries to import all platforms listed in .treeinfo. To avoid errors,
we should dynamically create the list of ARM plaforms, including
only those that are actually provided.

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.
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 'removefrom kbd' line wasn't deleting anything because it was
looking in the wrong place. It was also kind of wordy.
This version should keep the needed binaries and remove the stuff we
don't need, as intended.
iproute's binaries moved to /usr/sbin, so they were *all* getting
removed by the '/usr/*' glob. iscsi's NetworkManager dispatcher script
uses 'ip' so this might be needed for proper iscsi support; at the very
least it quiets some error messages from NM. It's also pretty likely
people's kickstart scripts use 'ip' utility, so we'd better make sure
it's still available.
Remove a bunch of useless 'removefrom' lines that did nothing but cause
"no files to remove!" messages in lorax logs.
- ConsoleKit isn't in the anaconda runtime
- update-gtk-immodules isn't in gtk3
- there's nothing in /usr/share/selinux in selinux-policy-targeted
- zenity doesn't have a /usr/share/omf directory
- libpng moved to libpng15.*; actually removing it breaks the GUI
- pcmciautils' binaries are in /sbin, not /usr/sbin. They're only 7kb,
so let's just keep 'em.
This should have *no effect* on the contents of the runtime images.
A lot of the systemd unit files got moved around due to UsrMove, so
these lines weren't removing the services as expected.
Fix the paths and they all work. This eliminates the "FAILED"
message from systemd-remount-api-vfs.service and plymouth-start.service.
Oh - and the ConsoleKit removal got dropped 'cuz ConsoleKit isn't in the
installer images anymore.
This adds support for creating an appliance description file for the
disk image. Mako templates are used to make it easy to support other
appliance targets. The included example works with virt-image.
