Adam Williamson d1aa8676ab Ditch all use of pyanaconda's simpleconfig
lorax uses pyanaconda's SimpleConfigParser in three different
places (twice with a copy that's been dumped into pylorax, once
by importing it), just to do a fairly simple job: read some
values out of /etc/os-release. The only value SimpleConfigParser
is adding over Python's own ConfigParser here is to read a file
with no section headers, and to unquote the values. The cost is
either a dependency on pyanaconda, or needing to copy the whole
of simpleparser plus some other utility bits from pyanaconda
into lorax. This seems like a bad trade-off.

This changes the approach: we copy one very simple utility
function from pyanaconda (`unquote`), and do some very simple
wrapping of ConfigParser to handle reading a file without any
section headers, and returning unquoted values. This way we can
read what we need out of os-release without needing a dep on
pyanaconda or to copy lots of things from it into pylorax.

Lorax is a set of tools used to create bootable images.

  • lorax - creates the Anaconda boot.iso used to install Fedora
  • livemedia-creator - uses Anaconda to create bootable images
  • lorax-composer - API server implementing the Weldr BDCS protocol using livemedia-creator

See the Weldr blog for more info about BDCS and the Lorax documentation for more information about Lorax and associated tools.
