40d823eacf Add documentation about mock changes (#1473880)
mock now uses systemd-nspawn by default, but it cannot setup the
/dev/loop* nodes that are needed by lorax and livemedia-creator so users
will need to pass --old-chroot to mock if they are using it.

092c593d6b INSTALL_ROOT and LIVE_ROOT are not available during %post
These were set by livecd-creator, and the %post section was used to
setup the license files on the / of the iso which will not work from
inside anaconda so drop it completely.

31db046a80 Add example kickstart for Atomic PXE live no-virt
Because --no-virt uses a fsimage disk you can't create a /boot
partition. This kickstart will also work for creating the PXE files
inside a mock environment.

Also rename rhel-atomic-pxe-live.ks to fedora-atomic-pxe-live.ks

4e495bc918 livemedia-creator: Update example kickstarts
Update the URL, add network command where needed, make sure all auth
commands are using sha512 now.

Removed the fedora-livemedia-ec2 example, Fedora doesn't have grub and
it has never really been tested.

f8316a7b89 livemedia-creator: Use qemu instead of virt-install
Switching to using qemu directly allows lmc to be more flexible. It can
now run from inside a mock chroot for creation of all image types,
inculding disk images, and can take advantage of KVM on the host system
if /dev/kvm device is present inside the mock.

It should also be possible to create cross-arch images, but without kvm
available this is likely to be a very slow option.

b138b27bd8 Add --iso-name to use with --iso-only

6f6af862c6 livemedia-creator: Remove random-seed from images (#1258986)
systemd uses /var/lib/systemd/random-seed to add entropy to /dev/urandom
at boot time. During image creation this file is created, and if not
removed everything using the image will be adding the same seed.

This is only additional entropy, NOT a seed in the sense of a starting
point for a PRNG, so it will be mixed with other entropy as the system
runs. It isn't a good idea to use the same value everywhere so make sure
it is removed in %post

Resolves: rhbz#1258986

a3e1a275ff don't build upgrade.img anymore
fedup is deprecated and abandoned. Let's save time and disk by not
building `upgrade.img` when nothing is going to use it anymore.

For the record, performing upgrades using an initramfs from the new
system turns out to be fragile and hard to support:

* dracut initramfs isn't generic enough to handle booting all systems
  (e.g. missing vconsole.conf means you get keymaps wrong, so users
  can't unlock encrypted disks)

* The ABI differences between the two versions of plymouth, systemd,
  etc. requires nasty workarounds at best and causes nightmarish
  systemd crashes at worst

This patch removes all the code that built and installed `upgrade.img`.

For backwards compatibility, the API retains the `doupgrade` keyword
argument, and the `--noupgrade` flag is still accepted.

a19c509430 Add --make-pxe-live and --make-ostree-live (for Atomic) targets.
--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.

d04a99e8f4 livemedia-creator: Add support for making tarfiles
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.
