class="headerlink" href="#product-and-updates-images" title="Permalink to this headline">ΒΆ</a></h1> <p>Lorax now supports creation of product.img and updates.img as part of the build process. This is implemented using the installimg command which will take the contents of a directory and create a compressed archive from it. The x86, ppc, ppc64le and aarch64 templates all look for /usr/share/lorax/product/ and /usr/share/lorax/updates/ directories while creating the final install tree. If there are files in those directories lorax will create images/product.img and/or images/updates.img</p> <p>These archives are just like an anaconda updates image – their contents are copied over the top of the filesystem at boot time so that you can drop in files to add to or replace anything on the filesystem.</p> <p>Anaconda has several places that it looks for updates, the one for product.img is in /run/install/product. So for example, to add an installclass to Anaconda you would put your custom class here:</p> <p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/usr/share/lorax/product/run/install/product/pyanaconda/installclasses/custom.py</span></tt></p> <p>If the packages containing the product/updates files are not included as part of normal dependencies you can add specific packages with the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--installpkgs</span></tt> command or the installpkgs paramater of <a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.html#pylorax.treebuilder.RuntimeBuilder" title="pylorax.treebuilder.RuntimeBuilder"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">pylorax.treebuilder.RuntimeBuilder</span></tt></a></p> </div> </div> <footer> <div class="rst-footer-buttons" role="navigation" aria-label="footer navigation"> <a href="modules.html" class="btn btn-neutral float-right" title="pylorax" accesskey="n">Next <span class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></span></a> <a href="livemedia-creator.html" class="btn btn-neutral" title="livemedia-creator" accesskey="p"><span class="fa fa-arrow-circle-left"></span> Previous</a> </div> <hr/> <div role="contentinfo"> <p> © Copyright 2015, Red Hat, Inc.. </p> </div> Built with <a href="http://sphinx-doc.org/">Sphinx</a> using a <a href="https://github.com/snide/sphinx_rtd_theme">theme</a> provided by <a href="https://readthedocs.org">Read the Docs</a>. </footer> </div> </div> </section> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var DOCUMENTATION_OPTIONS = { URL_ROOT:'./', VERSION:'24.1', COLLAPSE_INDEX:false, FILE_SUFFIX:'.html', HAS_SOURCE: true }; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="_static/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="_static/underscore.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="_static/doctools.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="_static/js/theme.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(function () { SphinxRtdTheme.StickyNav.enable(); }); </script> </body> </html>
