The queue is in /var/lib/weldr/queue/new by default. It watches the
directory for new symlinks (to /var/lib/weldr/results/<dirname>) and
handles running anaconda on the kickstart found in final-kickstart.ks
inside the symlinked directory.
Also move default_image_name into imgutils so it can be used in other
places.
When running from lorax-composer the wait() call wasn't waiting until
the tar was finished. I think this is due to gevent monkey-patching
something. Using communicate() solves this problem.
This drops support for the TCP port and switches to using a socket at
/var/run/weldr/api.socket
Also add the start of some docs for lorax-composer.
--host and --port argument have been removed.
--group sets the group name to use for access to the socket and its
parent directory. Defaults to 'weldr'
--socket sets the full path to the socket to create. Defaults to
'/var/run/weldr/api.socket'
This includes a new configuration file at /etc/lorax/composer.conf with
built-in defaults. It also adds a YUMLOCK server config object so that
request handlers can access the yum base object without interfering
with each other.
when default value is list or dict the default arguments are
instantiated as objects at the time of definition. This is significant
(exposing visible semantics) when the object is mutable. There’s no way
of re-binding that default argument name in the function’s closure. When
function is executed multiple times with its default value the value
will change between executions, possibly leading to strange side effects.

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.
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 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.

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

Previously lorax had no way to use repos with self-signed certificates.
This adds the --noverifyssl cmdline option which will ignore certificate
errors.

commit 5da9f5c179 cleaned up the resultdir

The cherry-pick for commit 0d28b9e09c
dropped the patch into the middle of setup_logging and added a (unused)
main() function so things would still run, but logging wasn't being
setup properly.
This removes the main() and moves the default_image_name() function
after all of the logging setup code.

If the --config file doesn't exist lorax will fall back to its defaults,
which are probably not what you want. Now it will exit if it doesn't
exist.

When an image name hasn't been passed, and the compression type is

Recently, Fedora has been trying to do a 3 product split. As part of
that, lorax was changed to do "installpkg lorax-product-*" via
provides.
I think that approach is awkward; a much simpler approach is to simply
specify the product package as input to lorax on the command line, via
external rel-eng scripts.
This patch therefore adds --installpkgs (and we should probably add an
option to remove the implicit lorax-product-* glob).

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.

The anaconda rebase changed the repo download failure to ERR, fix this

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.
