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.
If yaboot so much as catches a whiff of a backslash in yaboot.conf, it
will reject the entire file. No bootloader config means no booting.
So as long as we're still using yaboot on PPC, we need to use ISO volume
labels it can handle. So: filter the isolabel, replacing any non-ASCII
characters with underscores.
So there's actually two copies of yaboot on a PPC image, and they each
use different config files:
ppc/chrp/yaboot --> /etc/yaboot.conf
ppc/mac/yaboot --> /ppc/ppc{32,64}/yaboot.conf
So we need two copies of yaboot.conf - one in each place - to
boot properly (or all three if we're making hybrid images). Whee!
The comments should now make this more clear for future reference.
We were appending to /etc/shadow when previous versions of lorax
overwrote it, so we ended up with two conflicting entries for "root".
Instead:
- keep existing /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd contents
- add new entries for "install" user
- remove password from existing "root" entry in /etc/shadow
Also, we don't need to create the 'sshd' user, because the
openssh-server %post script does that for us.
Actual content changes:
- {High,Low}Contrast themes moved to gnome-themes-standard, so remove
them from there. Also remove HighContrastInverse theme.
- Removed metacity 'Atlanta' theme - 'Adwaita' is the default metacity
theme these days.
ntfsresize is currently living in the ntfsprogs package, which (for
whatever reason) isn't getting automatically pulled into the runtime
environment anymore.
So: install ntfsprogs in runtime-install, and remove everything but
ntfsresize in runtime-cleanup.
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.
symlinking /modules to '/lib/modules' inside the runtime image is fine,
but since we're operating outside the runtime image, the absolute
symlink will point to the host's /lib/modules, which can cause us to
delete kernel modules. Yikes.
Instead:
1) use /lib/modules rather than the symlink, and
2) use a relative symlink, just to be safe.
move arch-specific stuff to arch-specific subdirs and move all the
common stuff to a subdir named 'common'. Also, rename '.profile' and
'.bash_history' so you actually see them when you 'ls' the 'common' dir.
also added some helpful(?) comments to the templates.

The value syslogd provides at this early point when kickstart starts is
"(none)". This makes the receiving syslog unable to parse the incoming
messages.
