The system the image boots on will likely not match the host where lorax
was run, and in some cases this can cause systems to hang.

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

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.

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.

--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.
What I need is to make something like the traditional DVD which also
includes packages. At present this is apparently handled by the
entirely separate pungi tool.
At the moment for me, it's the least bad option to modify lorax to
inject data from an external source than to create a new tool, or
attempt to also modify pungi to do this.
This would also allow pungi's DVD creation to eventually be a set of
external templates for Lorax.

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.

This adds the --make-tar option which will produce a xz compressed tar
of the root filesystem. This works with either virt-install or no-virt
modes. Use --image-name to set the output filename.
--compression is used to set the compression type to use, which defaults
to xz. Supported types are xz, lzma, gzip and bzip2.
--compress-arg is used to pass arguments to the compression utility.

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.

Fix "lorax -V" and add a "version is ???" to the log file so we can easily know
what version of lorax is used to build an iso.
Changed to try/import for versioning because the version file is autogenerated.
We should probably let the user know if something goes wrong with the
transaction or if a scriptlet fails. So: log the messages so we can find
(and, one hopes, fix) them later.
Some package scripts may call utilities using dbus. Since this is just a
chroot that will fail. This unsets DESKTOP and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
to keep them from crashing.
It used to give us (x/y) packagename, but now it only sends package
name. This was changed in yum commit 7e8c76173. For now default to
showing the zeros along with the package name so that it doesn't look
like an error.
kpartx can return before the devices are created. Use -s to wait.
Also remove -p p and let kpartx handle adding pX if needed, we use
whatever it outputs so there is no need to force a name.
This makes findkernels() look for any image named something like:
$PREFIX-$KERNELVER.img
and adds a corresponding entry to its returned data like:
kernel.$PREFIX.path = [path]
As a special backwards-compatibility case we use 'initrd' for the
attribute name if $PREFIX is 'initramfs'.
This gives us any extra initramfs images that may have been built using
the 'prefix' argument to rebuild_initrds().
If 'prefix' is passed to rebuild_initrds(), it will build a *new*
initramfs with a name like $PREFIX-$KERNELVER.img, rather than
overwriting the existing initramfs.
Dracut now makes the initrd with 600 permissions
for security reasons. These reasons do not apply
to install images, and we want the other tools
that use lorax to be able to read the initrd file.
When I switched execution over to execWith* functions I failed to
account for the use of CalledProcessError in various places. This
patch restores that behavior. All places that used check_call or
check_output now pass raise_err=True to the execWith* call.
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
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.
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.
There's something strange going on where unmounting a hfsplus volume
immediately after mounting it will fail with EBUSY.
This makes the umount fail, which makes the rmdir fail, which causes a
traceback, which breaks mkefiboot --apple.
It works fine if you wait a second and retry.. so do that.
Also, add the "lazy" argument so you can do lazy unmounts if you like.
Generally it's not a good idea for python libraries to set up loggers in
the body of the library.
Set up a NullHandler by default (as the logging module suggests), and
add a function to do the current logging setup during run().
From Harald Hoyer <harald@redhat.com>:
pollcdrom is used to poll for the install medium. A lot of CDROM drives
are not polled by the kernel correctly, so we have to actively poll for
the medium.
Some packages are critical to the compose. If --required
is specified in the template's installpkg command, lorax
will exit if the package is not available.
Mac boot images are optional. Don't require hfsplus-tools
by default, but warn the user that he needs to install them
if he wants to create mac boot images.
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).
Fedora 17 changes top level directories like /bin, /lib, etc. to
symlinks to the corresponding dirs in /usr/
dracut can convert old systems to the new layout using its convertfs
module.
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.
Some repos may contain anaconda packages for more architectures,
so it's not possible to get the right buildarch.
This patch allows optional specifying of the buildarch on the
command line when running lorax.
If the buildarch is not specified manually, lorax tries to get
it from the anaconda package as before.
If there's no anaconda package in the repository, don't fallback
to the system architecture and continue, because this is pointless.
We need the anaconda package.
When considering a package's filelist (e.g. for things like removefrom
--allbut), we might need to also include the %ghost files, so make
_filelist() add them to its returned list.
The anaconda execWithRedirect and execWithCapture functions are too
useful not to include. They also allow you to log all the execuatable's
output to a logfile. Added them under executils.py module which uses
the pylorax and a new program logger.
Allow passing of size to create_runtime, add PartitionMount context
to use kpartx to mount partitioned file images. Add resetting the
selinux context on the newly created rootfs.
This means that any (non-ignored) command error will cause lorax to
exit.
Do note, however, that some commands (e.g. remove, installpkg) don't
raise exceptions and therefore will not cause lorax to exit.
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.
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.
- Log the error message (and the line causing the error) to console
- Log the whole exception (with some excess junk removed) to debuglog
- don't immediately SystemExit if the template won't parse
- clean up some comments
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.
make sure that runner.templatedir gets set to a useful default if
initialized with None, and and make sure we pass templatedir to
LoraxTemplateRunner.__init__ (so it'll get initialized properly)
emit a useful log message if we attempt to removepkg something that
isn't installed, or if a glob used in a removefrom line matches no
files.
this will help us keep the templates cleaner.
* add bcj arch dict to ArchData
* add "compression" settings back to __init__.py
* pass them to treebuilder.create_runtime
* pass them through to imgutils.mksquashfs
To build F15 images we need to remove systemd and set up loader as init
(see runtime-cleanup and runtime-postinstall).
We also need to add a hack to dracut so loader won't freak out when it
gets started by anaconda - see the file we're adding to the initramfs in
treebuilder.py.
(There's also an extra bonus hack for working around a bug in dracut if
/proc/cmdline is empty - SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT IT!!!)
Let's let yum handle the magic of figuring out what basearch is. And
since basearch will match userspace, libdir should match basearch.
This fixes stuff on pre-F16 ppc64 (where basearch is ppc and thus has a
different libdir).
module-info and the updated depmod stuff need to be inside the runtime
image, so this needs to happen before create_runtime. Accordingly,
generate_module_data gets moved to RuntimeBuilder.
dracut's dmsquash-live-root won't recognize the image as a squashfs live
image unless its name matches "*squashfs.img", so choose the filename
accordingly. Then pass the name to the TreeBuilder so it can move it
into place.
