Changelog for kiwi-man-pages-9.18.33-6.258.x86_64.rpm :

* Fri Nov 15 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.32 → 9.18.33
* Thu Nov 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed zipl bootloader config template The targetgeometry value is not allowed for SCSI and FBA mode. So far we handled only SCSI and failed on FBA mode. This commit fixes it
* Thu Nov 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Adapt test-image-oem integration test for s390 The test was originally designed to test for DASD 4k block storage. However the kpartx utility in the Leap15, TW code stream has issues mapping partitions if the loop device was setup using 4k sector size. So far we can\'t create images with 4k blocksize due to that issue. Thus the integration test is now adapted for an emulated DASD device in FBA mode which is not using 4k blocksize. Once the problem with kpartx is solved on s390 we will create another integration test to test 4k image builds
* Thu Nov 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.31 → 9.18.32
* Thu Nov 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update s390 integration tests Added vmx build test to run in kvm on s390. Updated the existing oem build test to deploy on DASD. The concept of the network setup invented by kiwi for s390 does no longer apply and was also not used on the s390 distribution
* Thu Nov 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed zipl bootloader setup for s390 images The preparation to call zipl and the call itself were wrong. For whatever reason the kernel image the initrd are moved to another location prior to calling zipl. That move broke the system because no kernel/initrd existed at the expected place anymore. In addition the zipl call itself was issued from a the wrong directory. Also no config file was written as an after effect of the refactoring in Issue #1194. This Fixes #1173 and bsc#1156694
* Wed Nov 13 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Document possible values for the name attribute of package This fixes #1260 Co-Authored-By: Thomas Schraitle
* Thu Nov 07 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.30 → 9.18.31
* Wed Nov 06 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Fix gitlab CI pipeline Ensure the gitlab CI includes make package for docs generation
* Wed Nov 06 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Ensure grub.cfg is copied in EFI/BOOT folder This commit fixes the live images in efi mode. Grub configuration file is copied to the correct location in /EFI/BOOT. Fixes bsc#1155815
* Thu Oct 31 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.29 → 9.18.30
* Thu Oct 31 2019 roAATTsuse.de- fix kernel module handling for xz compressed modules and firmware files to fix issue #1256
* Tue Oct 29 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.28 → 9.18.29
* Tue Oct 29 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update Host/Image support matrix Update documentation about the Host vs. Image support and compatibility matrix with regards to the SLES target.
* Mon Oct 28 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Add default /etc/kiwi.yml file Provide a comment only etc/kiwi.yml file that contains all parameters we support so far including a short description This Fixes #1232
* Mon Oct 28 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.27 → 9.18.28
* Fri Oct 25 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Delete left over print statement from unit test
* Fri Oct 25 2019 javiermAATTredhat.com- Enable BLS configuration if is supported Fedora now uses a BLS configuration by default, but this is not supported by all distributions. So check if is supported by the grub2-mkconfig tool and only enable the option if that\'s the case. Fixes: #1248
* Fri Oct 25 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump Fedora x86 build test to Fedora30
* Fri Oct 25 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.26 → 9.18.27
* Thu Oct 24 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Fix btrfs_root_is_snapshot This commit makes sure the chrooted operations of over a loop device including btrfs subvolumes and root as an snapshot include the `/.snapshots` subvolume mount. This is necessary for certain operations that depend on the layout, e.g. grub configuration using `grub2-mkconfig`.
* Thu Oct 24 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Skip isolinux ui setup on serial terminal config If the attribute bootloader_console=\"serial\" is set, the expectation that there is no graphics hardware available is valid. Thus the isolinux setup should not contain any ui configuration instructions because that leads to run the graphics initialization which blocks the system if not present. Please note the bootloader_console allows for multiple console configuration. In mixed setup the ui configuration still applies. This Fixes #1153
* Thu Oct 24 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added helper script to test status of test builds build_status fetches information from obs about the status of the integration test builds. It also allows an easy refresh of the tests regarding content changes on git when called with the refresh parameter: build_status refresh
* Wed Oct 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update development documentation With the latest change to the logger kiwi can now be better used as an api in other python programs
* Wed Oct 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed install_devel_packages helper Missing libffi and enchant devel packages. Also deleted trang since it\'s not provided by default in the distro and optional
* Wed Oct 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.25 → 9.18.26
* Wed Oct 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update documentation Link paths to the integration tests has changed
* Wed Oct 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed package list for arm test builds
* Wed Oct 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Move arm build tests to obsrepositories
* Wed Oct 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Move s390 build tests to obsrepositories
* Wed Oct 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Reorganize build tests We build images against different distributions. In order to do that in obs we should be able to handle one prj config per distribution. Thus the tests move from a flat tree to a distro structured tree here and in obs
* Wed Oct 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Move suse tests to obsrepositories Changes on the obs backend made this change necessary. The chain of process decisions is different if a repo is added to the prj config compared to if the repo is added to the kiwi XML file. It seems the preferred solution is the obs prj config and I\'m tired running into problems again and again
* Tue Oct 22 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Make home attribute optional on users definition This commit makes home attribute of users definition optional. This way the home directory is created according to the distribution defaults. Note that `-m` option is passed to user add, thus the home directory is requested to be created even without having an explicit home path defined. Fixes #1025
* Mon Oct 21 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Refactor use of logging facility Use getLogger method instead of a global log object Also use caplog fixture to capture log messages in unit tests. This Fixes #1244
* Mon Oct 21 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Version 2.29.24 fixes the pattern problem and avoids the recursion bug
* Mon Oct 21 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed oem resize message and invokation The oem resize should only start if there is unallocated space on the disk available. If it starts the message in case of a not applicable resize should be more meaningful This commit addresses both issues and Fixes #1102
* Fri Oct 18 2019 msAATTsuse.de- nothing provides yast2-registration With the move of the tests to the TW repo this package was no longer provided
* Fri Oct 18 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Deleted openSUSE-release-dvd from test images For whatever reason the Tumbleweed repo does not provide this package anymore
* Fri Oct 18 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update integration tests OBS has changed the repo paths. openSUSE:Factory/snapshot is empty which resulted in any suse test to fail. This commit changes the repo to openSUSE:Tumbleweed/standard
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.24 → 9.18.25
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed grub mkconfig call for read-only root In case of an overlay root system via overlayroot=\"true\" all parts of the rootfs are read-only by squashfs except for the extra boot partition. However tools like grub\'s mkconfig creates temporary files at call time and therefore /tmp needs to be writable during the call time of the tools. Related to Issue #1194
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.23 → 9.18.24
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed method header of write_meta_data Interface class and implementation class has to use the same header definitions.
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Lookup grub mkconfig tool In the same way as we need to lookup the name for the mkimage tool we also have to lookup the name of the config tool. That\'s because distributions do not handle that consistently
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.22 → 9.18.23
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed EFI path creation Only copy files to the EFI path on prior creation of that path
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.21 → 9.18.22
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed fallback copy of grub config file For ISO images that are EFI bootable as well as for EFI secure boot configurations that are not based on shim-install kiwi provides a fallback code that copies the grub config file to the efi/efi-vendor boot path. This fallback code was broken because of the recent change to let grub2 mkconfig create the config file. The call of grub2 mkconfig happens at a later stage which required an adaption of the fallback mechanism. This is related to Issue #1194
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.20 → 9.18.21
* Thu Oct 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed use of config_file before assignment
* Wed Oct 16 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.19 → 9.18.20
* Wed Oct 16 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Re-structure unit tests folders This commit relocates unit tests to a folder structure that matches the source code structure. Fixes #1128
* Wed Oct 16 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Delete unused template data With the move to grub2 mkconfig some static template data became obsolete. This commit removes the unused data
* Tue Oct 15 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Adapted handling of initrd boot names Due to the change of using grub2-mkconfig the way custom kiwi initrd file names are handled doesn\'t work anymore. grub2-mkconfig is not able to cope with the names kiwi used when creating custom kiwi initrd\'s (initrd.vmx). Thus the same naming code as used for the dracut initrd system has to apply for the custom kiwi initrd code as well. This commit moves the name handling into the baseclass because the same naming schema now applies to both initrd systems.
* Tue Oct 15 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed install image setup for kiwi initrd system If the kiwi initrd system is used the eltorito image was not found because searched in the wrong place
* Mon Oct 14 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Change kiwi-ng-3 binary references to kiwi-ng This commit changes from kiwi-ng-3 or kiwi to kiwi-ng the console script used in command line examples.
* Fri Oct 11 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add INFO message for primary group This commit adds an INFO message if the primary group is set according to the groups attribute in description file. Fixes #1059
* Fri Oct 11 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Use kiwi-ng and kiwicompat as console_scripts This commit instead of installing kiwi-ng-3 and kiwicompat-3 as console_scripts it makes use of kiwi-ng and kiwicompat. Then all others are created as symlinks at rpm level in spec. Fixes #1226
* Thu Oct 10 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.18 → 9.18.19
* Tue Oct 08 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Upadate xml_parser autogenerated code This commit updates xml_parser.py autogenerated code using a newer generateDS version. The previous generateDS version is not properly handling the regular expressions of some element\'s content. Fixes #1217
* Tue Oct 08 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Remove universal flag kiwi is no longer an universal python module, since it does not support python 2 anymore. This will prevent to install future versions on python2 environments using pip. Related with #1226
* Fri Oct 04 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Refactor patch_open use in builder\'s tests This commit removes the use of AATTpatch_open decorator in favor of directly patching \'builtins.open\' and use mock.mock_open utility to mock the context manager. Related to #1128
* Fri Oct 04 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Flexible use of linuxefi module Not all distributions provides the grub linuxefi module anymore. This means a static list for building an efi grub image if needed is no longer appropriate. This patch changes the module handling at the following places 1. Use linuxefi for building custom efi modules only if present on the host system 2. Use linuxefi related grub2-mkconfig variables only if the host grub2-mkconfig implementation supports it 3. Prevent building custom efi image on Fedora by extending the search path for the distro provided efi image and also adapt the spec file accordingly
* Thu Oct 03 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Fix the sha256 generated file content This commit makes sure the generated sha256 file in a \'kiwi result bundle\' call includes the filename with the correct extension. For compressed files it was omiting the suffix that included during the compression. Fixes #1223 and related to bsc#1139915
* Wed Oct 02 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed rpmdb compat link setup On older versions of zypper the path /var/lib/rpm was hardcoded and not used from the rpm macro definition. For such systems and to support them properly on hosts that have the rpm database already moved a compat link was created. However if the host has the rpm database at /var/lib/rpm the link doesn\'t make sense. This patch fixes this and therefore bsc#1150190
* Tue Oct 01 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Complete dracut setup for luks boot An image that is configured with an encrypted root including /boot includes a /.root.keyfile in initrd to let dracut/systemd decrypt the root and mount it without asking the password. On rebuild of the initrd, dracut has no configuration that tells it to include the /.root.keyfile again. This patch adds that configuration and Fixes #1192
* Mon Sep 30 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Follow up patch for SourceType info The message that display the selected source type was using the former metalink text which is wrong. This patch corrects the message and only display it if a sourcetype was specified
* Mon Sep 30 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update contributing chapter Simplify the setup of a development environment and update the documentation appropriately
* Mon Sep 30 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Support specifying the source type of repos Repository source paths can be more than just a baseurl. There is also the opportunity to point to a metalink file or a mirrorlist. In both cases the packagemanager needs to know the type of this target. Therefore a new attribute called sourcetype exists which allows to specify the type the repo path uri is associated with. Currently the dnf repository class is the only one that makes use of the information. This change is required to support Fedora >= 30 images. I also expect this concept to be used by other distributions in the future
* Mon Sep 30 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Using the correct Tumbleweed base image
* Fri Sep 27 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Refactor use of raises in unit tests Use raises as context manager instead of a method decorator. This clearly identifies which code part is expected to raise an exception. Related to Issue #1128
* Thu Sep 26 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Refactor repository unit tests Refactor repository unit tests as described in Issue #1128
* Wed Sep 25 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.17 → 9.18.18
* Wed Sep 25 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed typo in message text Systen -> System
* Wed Sep 25 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed return code validation of check_filesystem Usually the return code from the filesystem check tools is simple: Non zero exit code means an error occurred. However in case of the extX filesystem this does not apply. This commit documents the possible error conditions and supplies a tool specific check condition. This Fixes #1209
* Wed Sep 25 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update dracut caller options No need to pass the --force option and added --verbose option as it provides useful information in the image log file
* Tue Sep 24 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed kiwi-live module setup The installation of the checkmedia tool is optional and and not mandatory. In addition activate the media check verification also through the upstream used rd.live.check kernel parameter. This is related to Issue #1158
* Mon Sep 23 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Update documentation to the PXE install file names
* Mon Sep 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update kiwi live ISO chapter Compare overlay vs.dmsquash live ISO modules by their features to allow customers a proper selection of the module. This Fixes #1158
* Mon Sep 23 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add information in PXE install files This commmit adds additional information for the image and pxeboot files that are part of the install tarball in OEM PXE deployments. This way all files inside the install tarball include the following pattern .- at the same time anyfile prefix and suffix remains unchanged. Fixes #1147
* Fri Sep 20 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.16 → 9.18.17
* Wed Sep 18 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Make kiwi-overlay module compatible with kiwi-repart This commit makes the modules provided by dracut-kiwi-overlay and dracut-kiwi-oem-repart compatible. The main idea of this commit is forcing the preparation of the overlay rootfs write partition after kiwi-repart gets into the play. Since kiwi-overlay mounts the write partitiontition it has to be executed after the kiwi-repart. For that instead of doing the job using an initqueue event added by a udev rule we just add the very same logic in pre-mount hook that happens after the kiwi-repart pre-mount hook thanks to lower priority. Fixes #1184
* Wed Sep 18 2019 49054986+lorenzen-b1AATTusers.noreply.github.com- fix docu following schema: profile inheritance following the schema the \"requires\" element needs an attribute \"profile\"
* Tue Sep 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Use grub2-mkconfig for writing grub config Instead of creating a template based grub config file, use grub2-mkconfig to create the config file during the build process. This commit changes from config template to grub2 tooling for the disk based image types vmx and oem This Fixes #1194
* Tue Sep 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.15 → 9.18.16
* Tue Sep 17 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Fix modules omission for dracut based initrds This commit fixes a regression introduced in 07ea23a4. In OEM images the dracut modules were not properly omitted as the code was evaluating the wrong variable. Fixes #1201
* Fri Sep 13 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Fix GPT to MBR convertion This commit swaps the order of the command in gpt to mbr convertion in partitioner.gpt.set_mbr method. sgdisk by default converts the partition table from MBR to GPT in memory. The change is never applied unless you provide the -g option forcing to overwrite the partition table format. If sgdisk does the convertion in memory and the user does not provide the -g flag it returns an error code. The solution applied in this commit is to just run the GPT to MBR convertion as the last sgdisk command and change partition type before running the convertion.
* Fri Sep 13 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.14 → 9.18.15
* Fri Sep 13 2019 30520224+jpwideraAATTusers.noreply.github.com- Fixed user permission The comand was evaluated as chmod -c -R \'...\' . This is not the correct syntax. Removing quotation marks solved problem and Fixes #1191
* Thu Sep 12 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Clean up openstack packages
* Thu Sep 12 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Fix unresolves for x86 integration tests nfsidmap package is no longer available in TW. It\'s been renamed to libnfsidmap1, moreover this is a package already required by nfs-client and similar packages. Thus gets installed in the modified image descriptions without having to list it, as it is already a dependency of another required package.
* Thu Sep 12 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Do not require multipath in dracut-kiwi-oem-dump Installation of multipath tools triggers storage devices to be handled as multipath maps in dracut. If the deployment happens in a non multipath system those devices do not exist and the system later hangs in the dracut initqueue waiting for mapper devices that never appears
* Thu Sep 12 2019 jan.wideraAATTposteo.de- Reverting partsthat are already implemented This problem is discussed in #1195
* Tue Sep 10 2019 jan.wideraAATTposteo.de- Switched back to original root-device search
* Tue Sep 10 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Detect raid compound in root disk detection Make sure raid managed storage e.g fake raid is detected using the correct md device. Fixes #1181
* Tue Sep 10 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.13 → 9.18.14
* Fri Aug 30 2019 wideraAATThelzel.com- Allows to list fake-raid partitions Solves problem in #1181
* Fri Aug 30 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add the `-wildcards` flag in mksqashfs call This commit ensures the `-wildcards` flag of mksquashfs is being used. This is related to #1184
* Fri Aug 30 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Adding overlayroot integration test
* Thu Aug 29 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.12 → 9.18.13
* Thu Aug 29 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Add --add-bootstrap-packages option The prepare and build commands now allows to specify additional packages to be installed as part of the early bootstrap phase This Fixes #1151
* Wed Aug 28 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Detect raid disks in oem dump module The current disk detection only takes lsblk entries into account that marks the device as \'disk\'. However on raid disks like fake raid controllers the disk is mapped via dmraid and marked as \'raidX\' device. This commit also takes those devices into account for deployment. Issue #1181
* Tue Aug 27 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fix return value of is_prepared method The method is expected to return a bool value. In fact it returned a list. An empty list is evalutated as False in python, a list with content as True. So the way the method is used is correct but the return value should be a real bool value to match the docs and expectations. Also the unit test for this code was wrong. This Fixes #1175
* Mon Aug 26 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update documentation regarding fstab adaptions
* Mon Aug 26 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Add support for custom fstab script extension In addition to fstab append and patch features we also allow an fstab.script file that is called chrooted. The change is needed to support overlay mounting of filesystems as part of the initrd. If system filesystems needs to be changed in a way that they can be used in an overlay mount, the standard mount entry has to take the x-initrd.mount capability which requires a modification of the fstab which is cumbersome to handle as a patch file. This concept is currently used as part of the MicroOS project in SUSE and is applied in the integration test build maintained for this target. This Fixes bsc#1129566
* Fri Aug 23 2019 ngompa13AATTgmail.com- Fix GitLab CI jobs for building on Fedora Mock is incorrectly using systemd sysusers now without a systemd dependency or working sysusers scriptlets. For now, manually create the mock group. In addition, let\'s go ahead and upgrade to a Fedora 30 chroot for the mock builds.
* Fri Aug 23 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Avoid default installation of dracut kiwi modules With this commit dracut modules won\'t be installed by default in the initrd unless they are requested by the commandline calling dracut or by a dracut configuration file. Fixes bsc#1142899 bsc#1136444 Fixes #1103
* Fri Aug 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update live iso integration test build Our live iso test is setup for EFI. Since the switch to grub no isolinux will be used with the test. Thus there is no need to install the gfxboot branding package anymore
* Thu Aug 22 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Stop inheriting from object This is no longer required in Python3
* Thu Aug 22 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add crypt dependency to kiwi-lib dracut module This commit fixes the dependencies of the kiwi-lib dracut module to include crypt module required by kiwi-luks-lib.sh. In addition it also updates the check() section to return 255 instead of 0. In check section a return code of 0 means install it, 255 install only if required by another module, anything else, do not install. Related with bsc#1142899
* Wed Aug 21 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Create ssh host keys for MicroOS test image
* Wed Aug 21 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added network setup for MicroOS test build
* Tue Aug 20 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed conflict in integration build tests pkgconf-pkg-config conflicts with pkg-config on TW
* Tue Aug 20 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.11 → 9.18.12
* Mon Aug 19 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added MicroOS integration test The future technologies team is implementing a coreOS derivate based on btrfs and some overlay technology. For supporting them some changes were required in kiwi and thus we should add an integration test build which makes use of this features.
* Mon Aug 19 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Add required cryptomount coding for EFI boot For non EFI boot grub2-install has code which gets activated through the GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK setting. However for the EFI boot case no installation of boot code is needed and therefore the grub earlyboot script has to run cryptomount
* Mon Aug 19 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Add /mnt to list of protected paths On recursive removal make sure /mnt belong to the protected elements. This Fixes #1170
* Mon Aug 19 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added full encrypted image build test
* Fri Aug 16 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Extended LUKS encryption support We supported luks encrypted images with the exception of the boot partition because grub was not able to read from an encrypted device at that time. Since some time grub is able to read from an encrypted partition and this commit add support for it. With this patch luks encrypted images will no longer create an extra boot partition and the entire system will be encrypted. The opening of the luks container happens on the grub level only once. Customers can still specify to use an unencrypted extra boot partition with the bootpartition=\"true\" flag. In this case the opening of the luks containers happens on the systemd level as before. This is related to Issue #1162
* Thu Aug 15 2019 stefan.seyfriedAATTsap.com- remove \'-z\' option from rsync local copy calls rsync\'s \"compress\" option just does not make any sense when rsync is used to copy files locally, it only increases CPU usage and slows down the process ;-)
* Wed Aug 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Delete SuSEfirewall2 from test builds The package seems to be no longer present on suse
* Wed Aug 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.10 → 9.18.11
* Mon Aug 12 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Allow dracut initrd to be used with pxe type The pxe image type builds a simple filesystem image plus a custom initrd. That initrd is usually build from the kiwi netboot image descriptions which implements a workflow to fetch the filesystem image and deploy it as rootfs for a pxe client. User who wants to implement their own handling of the rootfs image in e.g a custom dracut module were not able to build this image type because we did not allow the initrd_system attribute for the pxe type
* Mon Aug 12 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Use message variable for long message text
* Mon Aug 12 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed handling of bool values in initrd code Some values evaluated in the initrd code are created in the kiwi builder and passed in as a profile file. bool values created by kiwi for use in shell scripts takes the string \'true\' or \'false\' or are not set at all if not specified in the kiwi XML description. Some code paths in the initrd code uses the \'-n\' switch to check for bool values, however if the string \'false\' is passed \'-n\' will do the wrong thing. Therefore a method for the initrd code has been introduced to clearly handle bool values

This patch allows to specify terminal collection between serial, console and gfxterm This Fixes #1123
* Tue Jul 23 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.6 → 9.18.7
* Mon Jul 22 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed use of Command calls in destructors The Command class creates namedtuple to store the result of the call. That tuple is created inside of the Command namespace. If called inside of a __del__ destructor which is often the case in kiwi classes I recently observed an exception from python saying: File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/collections/__init__.py\", line 429, in namedtuple File \"\", line 1, in ModuleNotFoundError: import of builtins halted; None in sys.modules I do not understand why this is a problem for python now and only found the solution in making the command_type variable a global namedtuple.
* Mon Jul 22 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.5 → 9.18.6
* Sat Jul 20 2019 ngompa13AATTgmail.com- Fix the pyxattr dependency to allow kiwi to function Most Linux distributions offer the pyxattr module, including openSUSE Tumbleweed. Going forward, we will use the pyxattr module by default as a dependency and only switch back to the other xattr module when on older SUSE Linux distributions that lack the pyxattr module. Note that because kiwi uses setuptools to create the CLI entry points, kiwi checks the Python dependencies before executing, so we change the dependency in the setup.py accordingly so that it will not fail to start.
* Fri Jul 19 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.4 → 9.18.5
* Fri Jul 19 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update spec file requirements for xattr On suse systems the python-xattr module is used. On any other distribution the python-pyxattr module is used. This commit modifies the spec file to reflect the Requires tag appropriately. On CentOS there is currently no pyxattr build available. Thus we provide that package for this target in the KIWI Staging area at Virtualization:Appliances:Staging. There is an ongoing effort to bring pyxattr to EPEL which would make it available on CentOS and would obsolete the custom build we did.
* Fri Jul 19 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.3 → 9.18.4
* Fri Jul 19 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update PXE integration test Move to multibuild, build one standard(uncompressed) filesystem image and one compressed version. In any case we expect only one compression process either on the filesystem file or on the archive creation. This is related to Issue #1039
* Fri Jul 19 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Do not recompress PXE image if compressed flag is true This commit is two fold:
* Refactor PXE builder to make use of the ArchiveTar instead of directly calling tar command.
* Do not compress PXE tarball if the contained image is already compressed according the type\'s compressed attribute. Related to #1039
* Fri Jul 19 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed use of FileSystemBuilder class This was a broken coding for the construction of a FileSystemBuilder instance in the PxeBuilder implementation. The unit testing did not fail due to mocking code. Integration testing however showed it immediately
* Thu Jul 18 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added support for fscreateoptions attribute Along with the fsmountoptions attribute there is now also the fscreateoptions attribute which allows to control the options used for creating the filesystem. Please note, it\'s not kiwi\'s task to validate that the given option string is supported by the selected filesystem. This means providing wrong values here will cause the build to fail at the time the filesystem gets created. This Fixes #1109
* Wed Jul 17 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Do not compress the install tarball archive Most of the components of the
*.install.tar.xz file of a PXE install image are already compressed, thus it doesn\'t make much sense to recompress them again. Fixes #1032
* Tue Jul 16 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- virtual_size must be an integer in metadata.json for libvirt vagrant boxes vagrant-libvirt expects that the parameter virtual_size from metadata.json is an integer and not a string. Supplying a string results in a backtrace when the user provides a different value for libvirt.machine_virtual_size (as the integer is then compared to string).
* Tue Jul 16 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.18.2 → 9.18.3
* Mon Jul 15 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed ISO creation in EFI mode with cdrtools The changes introduced in #1113 will use the configured bootloader e.g grub to boot the ISO image in BIOS and EFI mode. The creation process works flawlessly if xorriso is used. However if cdrtools are configured the options passed to e.g mkisofs were wrong. In addition it\'s not possible to create a hybrid ISO based on isohybrid if the loader is not isolinux. If cdrtools are in use the process to make an ISO hybrid bootable is always based on isohybrid and thus only works with isolinux. This patch also covers this case with a warning message and the consequence that we have to skip the hybrid setup in this case.
* Mon Jul 15 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed setup of bootloader files The BootLoaderConfig class interface writes several files e.g etc/sysconfig/bootloader, boot/grub2/grub.cfg and more. Depending on the image type some of those files belongs into the root directory and some belongs into the boot directory. For standard images both locations points to the same master root entry point. However for special types like live systems the root tree and the boot tree are different targets. For example live root filesystems are a squashfs compressed image file whereas the plain booting information lives outside. Because of that this patch introduces a refactoring of the BootLoaderConfig class to allow to distinguish between root_dir and boot_dir paths. In addition the live image builder makes use of the new concept and thus Fixes #1112
* Fri Jul 12 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Do not create a new machine-id file This commit ensures KIWI is not creating a new machine-id empty file in case it was not provided during the system installation. Fixes bsc#1141168

* Wed Jul 10 2019 ngompa13AATTgmail.com- Simplify packaging and re-add support for building for CentOS 7
* Tue Jul 09 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Don\'t add config.vm.base_mac to libvirt vagrant boxes - Refactor VagrantConfigTemplate to no longer require a base_mac by default - Move _random_mac() to Virtualbox subclass - Include config.vm.base_mac in Virtualbox boxes via get_additional_vagrant_config_settings() This fixes #1119
* Mon Jul 08 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.41 → 9.17.42
* Mon Jul 08 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed get_persistent_device_from_unix_node The method get_persistent_device_from_unix_node takes a device path and looks up it\'s basename to be present as persistent variant below the given schema, e.g by-id. However if the method receives an already persistent device path e.g from /dev/mapper the persistent schema representation will only match a numbered dm-N device and not the map name. The method then returns nothing but should return the original device path. This caused bad after effects like reported in Issue SUSE-Enceladus/azure-li-services#163
* Sun Jul 07 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Drop support for python2 Python2 is announced to be unmaintained from Jan 2020. KIWI supports Python 2.7 and it should not support any python version that is not maintained upstream. This Fixes #1036
* Fri Jul 05 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- [doc] Add user documentation about the usage of the embedded Vagrantfile - Document the usage of the `vagrantconfig.embedded_vagrantfile` attribute - Remove the suggestion to generate the ssh keys during image creation (this results in

* boxes having the same ssh host keys, which is pretty dangerous if someone would use a vagrant box in a production environment.) - Stop recommending veewee, this project is dead - Replace forgotten hard coded number with {schema_version}
* Thu Jul 04 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Fix test breakage when /etc/kiwi.yml is present The unit test for the RuntimeConfig class are also testing the default values in some functions. To work around a possibly existing ~/.config/kiwi/config.yml, several functions change the value of HOME. This is unfortunately not sufficient if a /etc/kiwi.yml exists, as that one is taken as a fallback
*if
* ~/.config/kiwi/config.yml isn\'t present. This issue is fixed by creating a default_runtime_config with os.path.exists patched to return False. Thereby none of the runtime configuration files will be taken into account.
* Thu Jul 04 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Add embedded_vagrantfile attribute to vagrantconfig This element allows the user to specify a relative path to an alternative Vagrantfile that will be embedded inside the finished Vagrant box. - update XML schema - add additional logic to DiskFormatVagrantBase.create_image_format - add unit test for the custom Vagrantfile - fix other vagrant unit tests

* Mon Jul 01 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Do not supress output for dracut call This commit adds a stderr_to_stdout option to Command.run method to redirect stderr to stdout. Additionally this commit also includes to the debug log the dracut call output, including both, stderr and stdout. Fixes #1114
* Mon Jul 01 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed path_test unit test The code there checked for the message of an exception but recent changes in pytest did not allow to do it that way anymore.
* Mon Jul 01 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed zipl bootloader setup On zipl we manually move the kernel and initrd file to the zipl boot path because symlinks can\'t be read. That move operation used the wrong filenames and was broken since baseCreateCommonKernelFile is only used in the legacy custom kiwi boot images but not in the dracut case.
* Fri Jun 28 2019 msAATTsuse.de- update per review by Tom
* Thu Jun 27 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed spec file requirement list for arm on Fedora The package u-boot-tools is named uboot-tools on Fedora and RHEL
* Thu Jun 27 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update secure boot fallback code With the concept of shim being an option and not mandatory also the fallback code has to adapt and treat the absence of shim.efi as not fatal. In this situation we expect the found grub.efi binary to be correctly signed which we can only assume but not prove
* Thu Jun 27 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Make signed grub search path more generic
* Wed Jun 26 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update distribution support information Update the documentation with regards to our supported distribution statement. This Fixes #1108
* Wed Jun 26 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update signed grub.efi search path list On arm there is no shim package that provides a signed grub loader for secure boot. Instead the grub package(s) provides the signed loader under yet another location in the system. This commit adds the new search path
* Wed Jun 26 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Refactor ISO boot, use grub in EFI mode Before this commit isolinux was used to boot an ISO and thus forms a hard requirement. isolinux however only exists for the x86 platform. This limitation did not allow to create ISO images for other platforms. With this commit a refactoring of the ISO boot setup is introduced.
* isolinux is only used if the bios firmware is requested and the platform matches the x86 architecture. A runtime check will check for this condition and exits early if not applicable
* in case of the EFI firmware we already used grub in EFI mode but still had isolinux in place for the legacy/CSM boot. That part is now also replaced by a platform specific grub eltorito image and grub\'s boot_hybrid.img for hybrid boot. On platforms that do not provide those modules the support for it will be skipped With this change in place it\'s possible to control the ISO boot layout through the firmware setup and all platform specific modules are handled as such. Therefore we also deleted the syslinux requirement. This Fixes #1092
* Tue Jun 25 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Fix memory leak in OCI contianer tests This commit fixes a memory leak in container_image_oci_test caused by partially mocking a file opening. A ContainerImageOci instance tries to open and read two files: the runtime configuration, if present, and the `/.buildenv`, if present. In order to test the `/.buildenv` presence file opening is mocked causing the runtime configuration reading fall in an inifite loop. This commit mocks the the RuntimeConfig instances to avoid this issue. Fixes #1110
* Mon Jun 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Stabilize Gitlab rpm stage The rpm stage in the gitlab CI pipeline runs against a collection of mirror services. If those mirrors are not available the test fails. Such failed tests are cumbersome because they don\'t indicate an error condition we can/should fix. The openSUSE TW mirrors showed to be unreachable more often than others which might be because that target changes their content relatively often. This patch changes the test strategy to allow the TW rpm test to fail but still keep the other rpm targets mandatory as they don\'t show the connection problems.
* Fri Jun 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Provider better error message in prepare phase In case of an error the real valuable information is often somewhere in the package manager output that does not get exposed to the users console by default. The error message we provide should tell users how they can get further details such that they know how to find the real cause of the problem. This patch enhances the error message in that regard.
* Tue Jun 11 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Make kiwi installable in a venv This commit sets the buildroot to the venv `sys.prefix`. This way all the binaries are installed in a path under the venv. Fixes #1022

* Wed May 22 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Disable check-valid-until with repository_gpgcheck This commit is two fold:
* From one side fixes a wrong use of the `trusted` option for apt repositories. `trusted=no` does not force to run the gpg checks it just forces the repository to be considered untrusted regardless the result of the security checks.
* From the other side it disables the option `check-valid-until` in case gpg checks are disabled using the `repository_gpgcheck`. It works at repository level. This enables using unmaintained or expired repositories for the build. Fixes #1028
* Fri May 17 2019 tomsAATTsuse.de- Simplify shell pipe expression with shell builtin Replace \"echo $var | sed ...\" expression with ${var//SEARCH/REPLACE} shell builtin as suggested by Codacy

* Tue Apr 09 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Delete check_grub_efi_installed_for_efi_firmware The motivation is nice to check if the required grub module package is part of the package list if the efi firmware is requested, but as long as there is no distribution wide standard for packaging grub this check will cause more trouble than it is of help. Currently it failed for the arm architecture and the grub2-arm64-efi package. We decided to prevent checking against static lists and dropped this runtime check. Missing grub modules will be recognized at the grub stage when we search for them.
* Tue Apr 09 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Adding custom curl options for dracut-kiwi-lib module This commit parses the `rd.kiwi.install.pxe.curl_options` argument from the kernel command line to read and use curl options for the `fetch_file` function of `kiwi-net-lib.sh` utility.

Customers using the netboot initrd already create the client config. file manually or through another system. With the next generation kiwi we also recommend the disk based network deployment using the dracut capabilities and marked the netboot code as still supported but on the legacy stream. Along with the deletion in the schema the following changes were also done:
* Deleted use of pxedeploy section in implementation
* Increase schema version to v7.0
* Update documentation on schema version update
* Added xsl stylesheet conversion from v6.9 to v7.0 Automatic schema version upgrade from v6.9 to v7.0 deletes the pxedeploy section from any type specification This Fixes #19
* Thu Apr 04 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Fix filesystem labels If multiple volumes were defined they were not properly labeled. This commit fixes a miss use of custom_args dictonary by the filesystem base class. This class was modifying the given custom_args that is passed by reference, thus modifiyng the custom_args instance of the caller. This issue was causing to propagate the modified create_options of a filesystem across all the volumes, causing all volumes to be labelled as ROOT. With this commit Filesystem class performs a deepcopy of the custom_args dictionary to limit the scope of any change inside each Filesystem instance. Fixes #1044
* Thu Apr 04 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.34 → 9.17.35
* Wed Apr 03 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Fix regression on kiwi-repart dracut module There was a regression introduced in #1035 (048b5c3e). We mask systemd-fsck-root.service during the repart, but we are not always unmasking it. If the repart is not possible the service is masked but not unmasked, which causes the boot to fail. With this commit after masking the fsck service we trap EXIT and run the unmask command on script exit. This way we ensure the unmask command is always executed.
* Tue Apr 02 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Doc fix for lex literal_block as xml
* Mon Apr 01 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update compression flag for qcow2 format In case of a qcow2 format we store the result uncompressed Since the format conversion only takes the real bytes into account such that the sparseness of the raw disk will not result in the output format and can be taken one by one This Fixes bsc#1128146 In addition the commit includes a refactoring for the evaluation of the compress flag in the runtime config. Instead of the global overwrite, the flag gets evaluated individually at the time the result metadata is created
* Mon Apr 01 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add the possibility to disable runtime checks This commit adds runtime configuration parameters to disable the runtime checks. This is specially handy if someone does not want to use the kiwi dracut modules and provide custom ones instead. In orde disable some runtime check consider a runtime config yaml like: runtime_checks: - disable: - check_dracut_module_for_oem_install_in_package_list - check_dracut_module_for_live_iso_in_package_list This commit fixes #893
* Mon Apr 01 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup has_rpm method from RpmDataBase class The method checked for the presence of /usr/bin/rpm. But that binary is also provided by another toolkit named busybox. Thus to check if the rpm we are aiming for is present the check has been modified to look for /usr/bin/rpmdb which is exclusively provided by rpm only. This Fixes #1037
* Sun Mar 31 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed creation of image metadata files At the end of a build process the metadata information files .packages and .verified are created. On rpm based systems, rpm is invoked as chrooted operation inside the new root tree. For images that gets installed exclusively from the bootstrap phase there is no rpm inside of the image and the call fails. The result are empty metadata files. This patch prevents calling rpm inside of the image root tree if it\'s not installed and also uses the RpmDataBase interface instead of directly calling rpm. This Fixes #1037
* Fri Mar 29 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.33 → 9.17.34
* Fri Mar 29 2019 stefan.seyfriedAATTsap.com- kiwi-repart: avoid race between repart and fsck See issue #1034, this fixes non-booting CentOS-7 OEM images that fail during repartition / FS resize. Summary: all parted actions trigger a rescan of partition tables and this repeatedly starts / stops systemd-fsck-root.service until it finally fails. The workaround is to mask systemd-fsck-root.service during repartitioning / FS resize.
* Fri Mar 29 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update travis doc building target Disable doc test on travis, we have this in the gitlab-ci pipeline.
* Fri Mar 29 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Move sphinx config to python3 Disable modules that have not been ported to sphinx 2.0 API
* Fri Mar 29 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Disable linkcheck/spellcheck The spellcheck plugin has not been moved to the sphinx 2.0 API and there are tons of spelling mistakes reported due to the use of technical terms that are unknown to spellcheck. Also disabled the linkcheck because it just stands more in our way than it reports issues that needs to be fixed.
* Thu Mar 28 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.32 → 9.17.33
* Thu Mar 28 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added integration test for bootstrap only builds
* Thu Mar 28 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed bootstrap only building Image descriptions that define packages in the bootstrap section only don\'t need a package manager inside of the image. However the code to update the location of the rpm database did not check the presence of rpm and failed on such image descriptions. This Fixes #1030
* Tue Mar 26 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Extend live ISO documentation
* Tue Mar 26 2019 aplanasAATTgmail.com- Replace AATTstaticmethod with AATTclassmethod when needed AATTclassmethod are used in Python to represent methods that can query and update the class (cls parameter). Is expected to be used for metaprograming, or advanced techniques that require the access to the class itself, before we have an instance. AATTstaticmethod are used to associate a function to a class. It will not be have access to the instance (self) not the class (cls). In other programming languages are known as class methods. This patch replace all the AATTclassmethod with AATTstaticmethod when there is not need to access to the cls parameter, because the intention is to be used as normal functions.
* Mon Mar 25 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Minor improvements to the documentation - add a newline to the workflow\'s abstract - add warning to installation via the distro\'s package manager - fix package name of git - add marker for `Installation from OBS` section
* Mon Mar 25 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Add intersphinx extension to the docs
* Mon Mar 25 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- New method: Path.access - thin wrapper arround os.access This function calls os.access, but first checks whether the input parameters are sane, instead of simply returning false when the file in question does not exist or an invalid mode was specified.
* Mon Mar 25 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added doc chapter on Fstab modifications
* Fri Mar 22 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Split code_style_plus_unit_test into two jobs for parallel runs
* Fri Mar 22 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Addapt documentation to changed script calling convention
* Fri Mar 22 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Only execute scripts via bash when they are not user executable Currently we call scripts directly through bash, which has the unfortunate disadvantage, that the shebang line is completely ignored. Now we instead check whether the owner of the script is allowed to execute it and if yes, we let the OS execute it (which takes the shebang into account) or otherwise call it through bash.
* Fri Mar 22 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Support optional fstab.patch file In addition to the support for fstab.append, users can now also provide a patch file to change the contents of the fstab file as it got written by kiwi. The feature is probably rarely used but needed in the area of suse\'s transactional update mechanism. This Fixes bsc#1129566 and Fixes #945
* Thu Mar 21 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Add warning about a missing /vagrant/ folder to the documentation
* Thu Mar 21 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Fix libvirt vagrant box Vagrantfile to use rsync by default The documentation is suggesting that rsync is used by default to synchronize the shared folders, yet the libvirt vagrant boxes used the system default (=nfs).
* Tue Mar 19 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.31 → 9.17.32
* Tue Mar 19 2019 stefan.seyfriedAATTsap.com- relax the live iso root dir permissions The root of the live ISO has permissions 0700, which is inconvenient if you mount it to explore its contents. Relax to 0755 instead. Without this, the mounted ISO FS can only be accessed by root.
* Mon Mar 18 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed race condition on live overlay mount Make sure to wait for all targets of the overlay mount This Fixes #1015
* Sun Mar 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.30 → 9.17.31
* Fri Mar 15 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update the documentation regarding vagrant boxes Extend the documentation on how to build VirtualBox vagrant boxes All this was done by Dan Čermák
* Fri Mar 15 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Refactor incremental changelog update The creation of the package changelog is based on a reference file. However that reference file contained log information in a specific timezone which requires to hardcode the region of that timezone in the code to correctly run date/time calculations. This can be done better from a conceptual point of view. This patch changes the handling in a way that the reference file is a git log excerpt including the dates as git log lists them. The dates contains complete numeric time/date/zone information and can be used for calculations. The changelog helper tool converts the result data to match the requirements of rpm changelog files and prints the time/date information localized to the callers timezone or as UTC if the --utc switch is given. By default the user local timezone settings applies. That way the setup of the local timezone is immaterial to the changelog processor and the workaround in the gitlab-ci rpm stage can be deleted too.
* Fri Mar 15 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add buildah tool support for OCI and Docker types This commit adds buildah tool support for OCI and Docker types. It requires buildah and skopeo to be installed in the host. The use of umoci (kept as default choice) or buildah is configured using the runtime configuration file; consider the following structure: ``` oci: - archive_tool: buildah ```
* Fri Mar 15 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Fix derived docker images build This commit fixes the derived docker images when the base image is a compressed file. After the refactor in #998 the decompression of the base image and the skopeo call to import the decompressed image happened in absolutely independent scopes. NamedTemporaryFile python class by default deletes the created temporary file when the class instance is destroyed, this class is used to decompress the base image. Because of isolated scopes at the time skopeo was called the NamedTemporaryFile instance was not there anymore. This commit makes sure that the temporary file instance is already in memory at the time skopeo is called.
* Fri Mar 15 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed gitlab-ci rpm stage localtime setup By default the timezone of the container is set to UTC. However the reference changelog entries are created in the CET timezone. The current implementation uses dateutil.parser.parse to parse the reference date/time. That call takes the localtime into account and responds with a warning: + UnknownTimezoneWarning: tzname CET identified but not understood The current code does not convert the CET timezone into the localtime timezone (UTC in this case) and creates a timezone naive datetime object. That object however can\'t be used to compare with timezone aware datetime objects which causes a runtime exception. The qick fix here is to set the localtime to the timezone used in the reference changes file
* Thu Mar 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Limit scope of virtualbox_guest_additions_present This attribute is only used with the virtualbox provider. Added a schematron rule to limit the scope to the virtualbox provider only. This Fixes #1003
* Thu Mar 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.29 → 9.17.30
* Thu Mar 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Add consistency check to update_changelog Don\'t take commits into account that are older than the given reference commit. This would destroy the chronological order. Missing commits older than the reference can be incorporated by rebuild_changelog_reference.sh
* Thu Mar 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed reading of container config The additional_tags attribute is optional. If not set the container config hash does not contain this key. Accessing the key without the get() method leads to an unhandled python exception
* Wed Mar 13 2019 stefan.seyfriedAATTsap.com- add rd.kiwi.oem.maxdisk= boot parameter this limits the disks considered for oem deployment to a given size
* Wed Mar 13 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Abandon the bumpversion helper The bumpversion helper script updated the reference file with changes since the latest date of the existing reference. However even though the two pieces are in chronological order that does not mean that the concatenated version of those is still in chronological order. Thus that helper is deleted and a new helper rebuild_changelog_reference exists. That rebuilds the entire reference file from the history and makes sure it is in chronological order. The tool should only be called if the chronological order of the total changes information is violated which under normal conditions does not happen
* Wed Mar 13 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Allow --since|--until opts in update_changelog In addition to create changelog information since the latest date of a reference changelog, also allow to create changelog information until the latest data of a reference changelog
* Wed Mar 13 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update changelog reference

* Wed Mar 13 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed bumpversion helper Make sure the commit for the changelog reference update and the commit for the version bump have different timestamps by sleeping 2sec between the two actions
* Wed Mar 13 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update API documentation In reference to Refactor OCI images packing the difference between docker and OCI images is just on packing format. Thus the extra docker container subclass is no longer present.
* Wed Mar 13 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.27 → 9.17.28

* Wed Mar 13 2019 seife+devAATTb1-systems.com- kiwi-dump-image: fix kiwi_oemdevicefilter for rd.debug
* Wed Mar 13 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added bumpversion helper Script that also updates the changelog reference file before the version bump. It\'s optional to use this but it would be handy as the commit would show the rpm changelog differences from one tag to the other
* Tue Mar 12 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed code smells on completion_generator Also update python interpreter to use for the completion and the changelog helpers
* Tue Mar 12 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update gitlab CI config The rpm stage needs python because the changelog script is now written in python
* Tue Mar 12 2019 ngompa13AATTgmail.com- Drop duplicate EPEL7 reference in the test CentOS appliance We already request the standard, update, and extras repos and the EPEL7 repo separately. There\'s no reason to request the \"centos\" EPEL7 repo which combines standard+update and EPEL7 repos already.
* Mon Mar 11 2019 seife+devAATTb1-systems.com- centos-appliance: reorder repos to fix build EPEL has older package versions of e.g. librepo, which breaks dnf. Re-prioritize to prefer the good CentOS packages instead of bad EPEL.
* Mon Mar 11 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update changelog file Fix changelog entries for their encoding, author name and format Also make sure commits are shown in reverse chronological order of the author date. We intentionally don\'t use the commit date because a commit can be older than the latest entry in the current reference file and would then not be part of the git log information
* Sun Mar 10 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Introduce better changelog handling The current way of creating the changelog file for the package is based on reading the entire history of the git repository and turns that information into a changelog. The downside of this approach is that any change in the code that creates this changelog information will impact older entries and could cause a conflict on the changes file of the released package. This usually leads to declined package submissions and blocks us in fixing bugs in the changelog generator. This commit changes the process in a way that only changes related to the oldest entry of a reference changelog file compared to the current branch are taken into account. This Fixes #979
* Sun Mar 10 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Adding a derived docker image build test
* Sun Mar 10 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.26 → 9.17.27
* Fri Mar 08 2019 ngompa13AATTgmail.com- Use correct GRUB 2 and shim EFI packages for test CentOS 7 appliance CentOS 7 has inherited the changes from Fedora in how its EFI binaries are packaged, so we need to adapt to handle those and build the appliance properly.
* Fri Mar 08 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed evaluation of AATTroot size setup The AATTroot volume setup allows to specify a size for the root volume in an LVM setup. The size setting was not respected and the root volume was always resized to the rest space available. This patch fixes the read_volume_setup_all_free method on the dracut kiwi library to know if there is root volume setup and respect its contents. This Fixes #983
* Fri Mar 08 2019 ngompa13AATTgmail.com- Update generated configuration file for DNF The dnf.conf file generated by KIWI contained some obsolete options as well as options that have been renamed. This change updates the options set so that they match what is expected by DNF and configures the appropriate behavior.

* Wed Mar 06 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Complete test coverage on iso tools testing If there is no mkisofs/genisoimage present on the system, the tests based on real example iso files are skipped. The code tested in this case is now covered in a mock style to run through the logic even without the tools in place
* Wed Mar 06 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Follow up fix for zypper compat link Move the code handling the compat setup of the rpm database to the correct method of the repository API. Call the import of the signing keys only if there are signing keys
* Wed Mar 06 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Fix suseRemoveYaST to work with set -e When the config.sh is invoked with set -e then suseRemoveYaST causes the whole script to fail when no yast packages are present. The problem is that `grep yast` returns 1 in that case. => Explicitly ignore the return value of grep Furthermore, if no YaST packages were found, we don\'t want to invoke rpm, as that would fail too (as it is called without any parameters).
* Wed Mar 06 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Care for update alternatives on rpmdb move In set_database_to_image_path we also have to care for the move of the alternatives path to the new rpmdb location
* Wed Mar 06 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup zypper/suse link to rpm database The compat code generating the /var/lib/rpm link was only effective if a signing key was specified, however it should be effective in any case

* Thu Feb 28 2019 ngompa13AATTgmail.com- Rework package manager selection to use DNF when YUM is requested YUM v3 is no longer developed, having been superseded by DNF for several years. With DNF now available as a usable package manager in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 through the Extras channel and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 through PackageHub, there is no reason for keeping support for YUM v3 around. We are keeping support for requesting YUM because in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, DNF is referred to as \"YUM v4\", and it is simply referred to as \"YUM\" in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. To avoid confusion from people, we\'re just going to leave it in place as an alias to the DNF package manager. As for why this is happening now, Fedora is retiring YUM v3 in Fedora 31, so we might as well get it over with and cut over now. Reference: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Retire_YUM_3

* Fri Feb 22 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed create_box_img in DiskFormatVagrantLibVirt The call to create_box_img did not use the given tmpdir parameter but assumes an instance variable to provide this information
* Thu Feb 21 2019 seife+devAATTb1-systems.com- fix network failure with \"BOOTIF=\" parameter If a BOOTIF= parameter (pxelinux \"IPAPPEND 2\" option) is present, dracut handles the network already
*and
* overwrites the 90-net.rules that kiwi-
*-net-genrules.sh created, thus the interface is not named \"lan0\" and ifup is destined to fail. Work around the issue by detecting if the interface is already handled by generic dracut code and just skipping the ifup call. Fixes / improves issue #942
* Thu Feb 21 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added some style fixes to the vagrant classes Adapt doc strings to match style on lists. Change variable names not class global to be lowercase. Use 80 chars per line. Don\'t reach code that potentially uses undefined variables
* Thu Feb 21 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Refactor vagrant storage subformat In preparation to support other vagrant providers a base class for Vagrant operations has been created. Original Code written by DanČermák
* Thu Feb 21 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed disk detection from root device The method lookup_disk_device_from_root assigns the disk device matching the root device uuid. However in a multipath environment multiple disk devices matches the same root device. The code to assign the multipath map in this case was missing in the dracut code base. This Fixes #954 and Fixes bsc#1126283 and bsc#1126318
* Wed Feb 20 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed losetup call due to move in option names util-linux dropped losetup-Add-support-for-setting-logical-blocksize.patch because different implementations exists in the new kernel, and it has a conflicting implementation in util-linux. This caused a change in the option to specify the logical sector size. The option --logical-blocksize was replaced by --sector-size. We adapt this now in kiwi too

* Wed Feb 20 2019 roAATTsuse.de- s390-test-image: add factory base project (same as on arm)
* Mon Feb 18 2019 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Add support to build vagrant boxes with the Virtualbox provider This commits adds initial support to build Vagrant boxes with the Virtualbox provider. - The attribute \'provider\' of the option now supports the option \"virtualbox\". - A new boolean attribute \'virtualbox_guest_additions_present\' was added to . When set to true, KIWI will assume that guest additions have been installed into the base image and configure the shared folders to use vboxfs, otherwise rsync will be used. This fixes #532 (https://github.com/SUSE/kiwi/issues/532).
* Thu Feb 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.18 → 9.17.19
* Thu Feb 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed isolinux fallback path In case isolinux-config failed or does not exist on the distribution a fallback path is called. That code hardlinks the files to the isolinux compiled in standard path. However due to the move of the grub unicode file for iso images the path contains a directory. Directories can\'t be hardlinked thus this patch uses \'cp -l\' instead of the \'ln\' command to create the linked target contents.
* Thu Feb 14 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.17 → 9.17.18
* Wed Feb 13 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fix location of grub unicode font This is a follow up patch for #f5bac4495d34. The change of the location of the font file was not applied if an iso target, live or install image is being built. This patch completes the change and Fixes bsc#1124885
* Wed Feb 13 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fix handling of zypper return codes The following codes should be handled as errors: 104 - ZYPPER_EXIT_INF_CAP_NOT_FOUND 105 - ZYPPER_EXIT_ON_SIGNAL 106 - ZYPPER_EXIT_INF_REPOS_SKIPPED
* Tue Feb 12 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Refactor OCI images packing This commit refactors the OCI images support:
* added import_container_image and export_container_image methods to oci_tools classes. \'umoci\' and \'buildah\' consume different formats thus the inital skopeo call to import a container is tool dependent.
* use oci-archive transport for packing the OCI images, this causes docker and oci operations to just diverge on transport type.
* add_tag method no longer needed in oci_tools/base, skopeo is used for that matter.
* container/docker.py class is no longer needed. The difference between docker and OCI images is just on packing format which is just a parameter in skopeo. It does not deserve a dedicated class
* system/root_import/docker.py class no longer needed. The difference between OCI and Docker class was just the transport type for the skopeo call. It does not deserve a dedicated class
* Mon Feb 11 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Sort file and dir entries in iso sortfile

* Sat Feb 09 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Moved azure integration test to Leap15 Factory doesn\'t resolve well together with Cloud:Tools. I\'d like to have stable integration tests and not getting screwed with any change on Factory
* Sat Feb 09 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.16 → 9.17.17
* Fri Feb 08 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added new preferences subsection In the preferences section the following optional subsection can be configured: true|false If set to true the default locales POSIX, C, and C.UTF-8 are applied as rpm install_lang macro. If the locale section is configured in addition the list is extended by that information too
* Fri Feb 08 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Extend the .packages file by the license field For rpm based builds the License field from the rpm metadata is extracted into the .packages file. For Debian based build the license information is in an extra file and not taken into account for the moment.
* Fri Feb 08 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.15 → 9.17.16
* Thu Feb 07 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Added support for %_install_langs rpm macro During the image build the custom rpm macro %_install_langs is configured with the setup from the KIWI XML description. This allows to filter language specific packages on the rpm level and Fixes #771
* Wed Feb 06 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Add API for package manager returncode validation Allow to validate the return code from a package manager operation. In case of zypper the standard UNIX return code validation does not apply. Return codes from zypper which are >= 100 are not treated as an error anymore
* Wed Feb 06 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fix Failed to cache rpm database on zypper addrepo Occasionally zypper fails when adding the repo with the rpm error message \'Failed to cache rpm database\'. I was not able to find out why this happens and I also could not find a way to reproduce it safely. However this commit adds a workaround that seems to fix the issue when it happens. If the first call of zypper addrepo fails kiwi now issues the exact same call again and only if that fails too an exception is thrown In addition the patch changes the zypper call and avoids the option --type. That option is marked legacy and ignored by zypper but causes a misleading warning message
* Mon Feb 04 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Handle location of the rpm DB on the macro level The location of the rpm database is no longer a standard path one can trust. Some distributions put it to /var/lib others to /usr/lib. This introduces the problem of dealing with different locations between the bootstrapping (host rpm) phase and the image installation (image rpm) phase. This commit implements a solution based on an intermediate rpm database configuration. KIWI creates the macros.kiwi file inside of the image root which is read by any call of rpm in the inner and outer system. During bootstrap phase the rpm dbpath from the host system is used and later in the install phase the dbpath from the rpm package as it was installed by the target image distribution is used. In case of a dbpath difference the database is automatically moved to the new location by setting the _dbpath_rebuild macro to the correct location. At the end the custom KIWI macro is deleted. As this process allows custom macro defintions during the KIWI run it also serves as the base for a solution to Issue #771 which will be done in a follow up request to this commit. Also the workaround for bsc#1112357 which uses a static dbpath to store an optionally given signing key will be addressed with this commit. The macro setup happens before the import_trusted_keys method which makes any specification for a strict dbpath obsolete. Last the implementation deletes the obsolete dump_reload_package_database code. rpm is able to automatically do the conversion of different db versions such that the code in kiwi is obsolete. In addition that code only worked for rather old db versions. The public API has not changed though, but the method is marked obsolete and does nothing anymore. In addition to the deletion of obsolete code a new API method post_process_install_requests_bootstrap has been introduced to handle actions required after bootstrap and before installing of packages from inside the new image
* Mon Feb 04 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add custom partitioning docs This commit adds two new documentation chapters. One covering custom partitioning scheme in KIWI. And another covering setting custom volumes in KIWI

* Thu Jan 31 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.13 → 9.17.14
* Thu Jan 31 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Changed default value for bundler compression If no compression is configured in the kiwi config file the default was set to: False. However this lead to big trouble on the obs side for images which has fixed storage disk sizes configured, e.g Azure images which requests 30G disk size per instance. Thus the default for the bundler compression has changed to be: True
* Tue Jan 29 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.12 → 9.17.13
* Tue Jan 29 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed grub theme lookup If the theme was not found at the expected place an exception was thrown. However the alternative lookup code in /boot was not reached with that exception. This commit fixes this
* Mon Jan 28 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.11 → 9.17.12
* Mon Jan 28 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add a runtime check for preferences metadata This commit adds a runtime check for preferences metadata. More specfic verifies there is a packagemanager defined and an image version defined. Fixes #925
* Fri Jan 25 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Support alternative EFI and grub modules paths In SUSE products EFI binaries are historically located in /usr/lib
*/efi. In a recent move to package grub2 as noarch fate#326960, a collision between x86_64 and aarch64 has been identified, as both place platform-specific files in the same spot. To rectify this, a new location was devised: /usr/share/efi/$(uname -m). At the same time /usr/lib/grub2 will move to /usr/share/grub2. This Fixes #924
* Fri Jan 25 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed Xen guest detection We only support Xen setup e.g in the Amazon Cloud for the x86_64 architecture. This Fixes bsc#1123186 and bsc#1123185
* Thu Jan 24 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed location of grub unicode font file grub2 is expecting the unicode font below the fonts directory in the /boot/grub
*/ depending on how the distribution installs grub2. This Fixes bsc#1119416
* Thu Jan 24 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fix documentation howto delete a package The documentation described an invalid XML grammar
* Thu Jan 24 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.10 → 9.17.11
* Thu Jan 24 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fix package conflict for completion file The completion can only be provided by one package if not python version specific completion files are provided. Due to the fix in #920 the completion file must be provided by another sub-package. This commit moves it to the kiwi-man-pages package. Actually kiwi man pages provides more than just the man pages, but also the PDF documentation and I think the completion information serves the purpose of documentation to some degree too.
* Thu Jan 24 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.9 → 9.17.10
* Thu Jan 24 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed file name of completion file The bash completion file must match one of the alternatives links. Otherwise the bash completion mechanism will not match. kiwi-ng is the unique alternative link name compared to the still present legacy kiwi version and should be used preferably
* Wed Jan 23 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add container history metadata on umoci repack call This commit makes sure that `umoci repack` call includes history metadata and skips that in `umoci config` call. Fixes #918
* Thu Jan 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.8 → 9.17.9
* Thu Jan 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Update schematron rule install_continue_on_timeout is only for oem types
* Thu Jan 17 2019 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Do not assume package manager is always there This commit modifies the dump_reload_package_database method for zypper to not assume rpm binary is always part of the image. An image could be bootstrapped only without zypper or rpm, in that case it does not make sense and it is not possible to dump and reload rpmdb. Fixes #915 and related to #550
* Thu Jan 17 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Allow to switch off install image boot timeout This commit adds a new attribute called: It allows to setup the boot timeout for install images build with KIWI. If not set or set to \'true\' the configured boottimeout or its default applies to the install image as it was before. If set to \'false\' there will be no timeout in the install image bootloader setup and the boot only continues on manual intervention.
* Fri Jan 11 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.7 → 9.17.8
* Thu Jan 10 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Make result compression in the bundler optional Calling kiwi result bundle will take the image build results and bundle the relevant image files according to their image type. Depending on the result configuration this could instruct the bundler to compress one or more files from the result. By default this compression is switched off in the bundler but can be activated to save storage space and speedup download of the image with the following runtime configuration: bundle: - compress: true|false If compression is activated the result image has to be uncompressed before it can be used. This Fixes #901
* Mon Jan 07 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.6 → 9.17.7
* Mon Jan 07 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Fix use of SysConfig objects objects of that class did not provide a get method but overload the bracket [] operator. Using the get() method failed. This Fixes #910
* Sat Jan 05 2019 msAATTsuse.de- Use chkstat to verify and fix file permissions Call chkstat in system mode which reads /etc/sysconfig/security to determine the configured security level and applies the appropriate permission definitions from the /etc/permissions
* files. It\'s possible to provide those files as overlay files in the image description to apply a certain permission setup when needed. Otherwise the default setup as provided on the package level applies. It\'s required that the image root system has chkstat installed. If not present KIWI skips this step and continuous with a warning. This Fixes #895
* Fri Dec 21 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Allow setting the protocol for exposed ports With this commit it is possible to set tcp or upd (e.g. \"80/tcp\") for exposed container ports. If no protocol is provided OCI defaults are applied. Fixes #906
* Wed Dec 19 2018 tomsAATTsuse.de- Use cls in AATTclassmethods instead of self For consistency reasons.

* Tue Dec 18 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Allow setctsid to be part of custom boot images
* Tue Dec 18 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Fix disk size calculation for VMX Disk size calculation must take into account the empty volumes that are to be mounted in a directory that does not exist in the root tree otherwise there is KeyError. The result of storate/setup._calculate_volume_mbytes must be a dict including all defined volumes. Fixes #904
* Wed Dec 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.4 → 9.17.5
* Wed Dec 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Make sure manual pages are part of pypi archive As consequence of the change in the travis setup to make use of the native \'pages\' and \'pypi\' providers from travis the environment for the sdist target has changed. Within the doc_travis tox env no manual pages was build. In combination with the \'pypi\' provider setup in .travis.yml which uses skip_cleanup: true, this caused the pypi archive to miss any manual pages which lead to a runtime error on install via pip.
* Tue Dec 11 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.3 → 9.17.4
* Mon Dec 10 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Don\'t trust the vmlinux symlink to be present
* Mon Dec 10 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Refactor kernel version lookup Check the presence of the gzip compressed kernel binary and use it. If not present use the arbitrary kernel image format with the known limitations.
* Mon Dec 10 2018 msAATTsuse.de- More clarity on kernel version lookup Lookup of the kernel version is done by directly reading the kernel image via a small tool named kversion. The scope of the tool is limited and does not work for e.g kernel images which contains its own decompressor code. For the special cases we defined exceptions, one was zImage. The recently added exception for vmlinuz seemed too intrusive to me and was also not well documented. This patch tries to clarify and get us back to explicit and easy to read coding. Fixes #899
* Tue Dec 04 2018 roAATTsuse.de- testing: fix issues marked by shellcheck
* Thu Nov 29 2018 roAATTsuse.de- kernel.py: also try vmlinux-version.gz in case of image-version to get the version number
* Tue Nov 27 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add Ubuntu bionic build tests
* Tue Nov 27 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Another round of OCI tools refactoring In order to provide buildah support some of the logic about temporary directories for OCI images creation needs to be moved to the dedicated OCI tool class. While umoci can operate in any directory and this is passed as an argument, this is not the case for buildah. In buildah workflow the storage path of work-in-progress images/containers is not customizable neither the mountpoint of the container rootfs.
* Mon Nov 26 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.2 → 9.17.3
* Mon Nov 26 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update documentation for rd.live.cowfile.mbsize
* Mon Nov 26 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Use cow file on persistent grub live loop boot When using tools like live-grub-stick the live iso as generated by kiwi will be copied as file on the target device and a grub loopback setup is created there to boot the live system from file. In such a case the persistent write setup which tries to create an extra write partition on the target fails in almost all cases because the target has no free and unpartitioned space available. Therefore in case of such a loopback mounted system we create a cow file(live_system.cow) instead of a partition to setup persistent writing. The cow file will be created in the same directory the live iso image file was read from grub This Fixes #860
* Fri Nov 23 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.1 → 9.17.2
* Fri Nov 23 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Create a custom `setup.py clean` command The default `setup.py clean` command does not clean `dist` and `
*.egg-info` folders. This commit makes sure those are cleaned and also ands a `setup.py clean` command in the `clean` Makefile target
* Fri Nov 23 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Better exception handling in oem installer If an error condition applies in the kiwi dump dracut code the reaction was to stop the process with a dracut die() call. If the option \'rd.debug\' was set on boot, this lead to a debugging shell which is good, but in a standard process this lead to a lock of the machine which is an unfortunate situation. This patch changes the behavior to always print the error message as a dialog message box on the primary console and reboot the system after keypress or timeout. In case of the debug switch configured the system die()\'s as before. This Fixes #884
* Mon Nov 19 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add parted dependency for dracut-kiwi-live package dracut-kiwi-live requires `partprobe` tool and this is provided by parted package. Persistent overlay setup fails if parted is not installed in the image.
* Thu Nov 15 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added unit test for syslinux lookup paths
* Thu Nov 15 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Include the isolinux ubuntu paths This commit adds the ubuntu installation paths the places to look for isolinux binaries.
* Tue Nov 13 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Fix spec to better support Debian and Ubuntu builds This commit fixes the spec to properly build for Debian and Ubuntu. More specific:
* update-alternatives path has been adapted
* python3-kiwi are now enabled for Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18.04
* Mon Nov 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Make gfxboot a recommended package gfxboot is needed on the host for certain boot graphics operations. It\'s used if the boot theme provides a gfxboot.cfg In this case the tool is also required. The setup of the boot themes is differently implemented in each of the distributions we support. In addition on suse distributions gfxboot is no longer in the core system. Given that we are not able to find a common base on requirement of the package we changed gfxboot from a required to a recommended package and deleted the requirement on debian based distros
* Fri Nov 09 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Adding OEM and ISO image types for Fedora tests
* Fri Nov 09 2018 seife+devAATTb1-systems.com- kiwi-dump-image: improve dialog usage Dialog\'s \"--radiolist\" feature requires to navigate to the item, press \"space\" to select the item and then \"enter\" to execute. With \"--menu\", it is enough to just navigate to the item and press \"enter\" to execute, which is much more intuitive for most users.
* Fri Nov 09 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add support for --no-history umoci\'s flag Using this flag kiwi appends only a single history entry for OCI containers.
* Fri Nov 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.17.0 → 9.17.1

* Fri Nov 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed oem installer In the implementation of the ramdisk installer from SUSE/ramdisk_deployment(4fdeee3faa3) an error for the standard case was introduced such that the lsblk call was invalid. This lead to no devices being present for the installation. This patch Fixes #877
* Thu Nov 08 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Fix rsync call for filesystem images For filesystem images the rsync call was missing a finale slash for the source path causing the sync also the containing directory. With this change the filesystem image does not include the rootfs in any subdirectory. Fixes #875
* Tue Nov 06 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add history metadata for container builds This commit adds the history section in contianerconfig. With it \'author\', \'created_by\' and \'comment\' can be customized. In addition \'created\' is always included with the image creation date time. \'created_by\' entry is set to \'KIWI __version__\' by default if nothing is provided. Fixes #852
* Tue Nov 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.36 → 9.17.0
* Tue Nov 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Change bundling of image formats By default none of the image formats were stored as compressed file. The reason behind this was the assumption that some formats automatically makes use of compression, which is true but only in their processing and not in their data blocks at creation time. Storage and handling of the image file itself becomes cumbersome and therefore we change the default bundle setup for image formats to be compressed. This means the image as it gets packed by KIWI needs to be uncompressed before use. The following image formats are affected by the change in a call of the result bundler: kiwi result bundle ...
* qcow2 (.qcow2.xz)
* vdi (.vdi.xz)
* vhd (.vhd.xz)
* vhdx (.vhdx.xz)
* vmdk (.vmdk.xz) All other image formats already defined a custom bundling setup including compression and are not affected by this change. This Fixes #650
* Tue Nov 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed firmware strip and lookup for kiwi initrd In a kiwi initrd the function baseStripFirmware can be used to strip down the firmware to the actually used kernel drivers in that initrd. The code to do this was broken due to the changes in #64cb5b003140a. This patch done by Ruediger Oertel fixes the method to work correctly again.
* Tue Nov 06 2018 seife+devAATTb1-systems.com- kiwi-partitions-lib: wait for udev before lsblk A LVM-enabled oem image spuriously did not resize its PV / LVs. Tracking this down, I discovered that lsblk was sometimes racing with udev and the disk was just not available during get_partition_node_name(). Call udev_pending() before all lsblk calls to avoid that. (lsblk man page also advocates this to synchronize with udev)

* Mon Nov 05 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Arrange command test arguments to match py2 and py3 order Apparently dictionary keys are not sorted equaly in py2 and py3. While the code does not relay on command flags order the test command validation does. This commit ensures the umoci command is the same for both, py2 and py3, with all the flags in the same order.
* Mon Nov 05 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Make process config arguments method static
* Mon Nov 05 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added oci_tools to package MANIFEST
* Mon Nov 05 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Use the travis pages provider for doc deployment In the past we used the travis-sphinx script to deploy the documentation to gh-pages via the travis CI. However with the change to the travis github App we need to change this deployment into a real deployment stage of the travis setup
* Mon Nov 05 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed azurectl redirect in documentation
* Mon Nov 05 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.27 → 9.16.28
* Sun Nov 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added Deploy and Run System in a RamDisk docu
* Wed Oct 31 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Refactor containerconfig xml evaluation This commit refactors the extracted data from containerconfig section to be tool agnostic. Related to #863
* Tue Oct 30 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Support ramdisk deployment in OEM images Using the rd.kiwi.ramdisk boot option enables the deployment into a ramdisk. If this option is enabled only ramdisk devices as provided by the brd kernel driver will be available for deployment
* Mon Oct 29 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Apply OCI interface for container and root_import Instead of directly calling the container archiving tool, in this case umoci, the code has been changed to use the new OCI interface class. This Fixes #859
* Mon Oct 29 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Distinguish install and image dracut config This commit distinguishes the files that should be installed inside the image dracut only than the ones installed in both, in install initrd and image initrd. Fixes #858
* Mon Oct 29 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added OCI tooling interface class An initiative to formulate industry standards around container formats and runtime is available at https://www.opencontainers.org Different tools to implement the specifications had been created. The purpose of this class and its sub-classes is to provide a common interface in kiwi to allow using all tools such that the container support in kiwi covers every linux distribution no matter what tooling was preferred. Related to Issue #859
* Fri Oct 26 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Warn on Modifications to intermediate config files Some files are taken from the host and managed as intermediate config files during the build of the image. Changes to those files during the build run by e.g a script will not become effective because the file gets restored. With this patch we detect the modification condition and throw a warning message such that the author of the image can adapt the description as suggested in the message. This Fixes #817
* Thu Oct 25 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Cleanup code to make flake8 happy The new version of flake8 is more strict on code checking and complained at several places. This commit fixes the code smells such that flake8 is happy again
* Fri Oct 19 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.26 → 9.16.27
* Fri Oct 19 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Use %{ix86} rather than %ix86 in spec template Clear macro annotation prevents clarity issues

* Thu Oct 18 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Handle default uri mime type in Defaults class
* Thu Oct 18 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add a hardcoded rpm database path to import trusted keys This commits adds a hardcoded rpm database location to make sure the imported keys are in the expected location for zypper. Fixes #855
* Thu Oct 18 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Allow simple path source in Uri class This patch is needed as follow up fix for the setup of the package cache in local repositories. The is_remote method from the Uri class is used to identify if a repostory source is remote or local. At that point the initial repository source was already translated into its components. In case of a local repository the Uri instance now receives a simple path and the is_remote method raised with a style error. This patch allows the Uri class to be more friendly and initializes a local path as file:/ typed source. Related to Issue #847
* Thu Oct 18 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.24 → 9.16.25
* Thu Oct 18 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Add timestamp to logfile entries On the console output we use a log format with timestamps This is useful for the logfile contents too
* Wed Oct 17 2018 seifeAATTtuxbox-git.slipkontur.de- sort package list which accompanies the image This makes it much easier to diff the lists of two images to find out the differences in package versions.
* Wed Oct 17 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Don\'t cache packages from local repos for zypper Access to packages from local repositories is as fast as reading them from a cache location. The additional package copy and cache update is superfluous and should be avoided. This Fixes #847
* Tue Oct 16 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.23 → 9.16.24
* Tue Oct 16 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Update /etc/machine-id management docs Updates the information about how /etc/machine-id is treated in KIWI and provides some hints for old systems where /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is not a symlink to /etc/machine-id Related to #843
* Tue Oct 16 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Unpack root.tar.gz file for LVM integration test
* Tue Oct 16 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added LVM integration test build
* Mon Oct 15 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.22 → 9.16.23
* Mon Oct 15 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added machine id setup in dracut preparation In case of a dracut booted image we empty out the systemd machine-id configuration file to trigger the rebuild of that information by the dracut boot code at boot time. This allows for unique systemd identifiers if the same image gets deployed on different machines. This also makes the script implementations people put in in config.sh or images.sh to solve this problem obsolete. This Fixes #843
* Fri Oct 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fix use of uri type in debootstrap call Referencing a file in a debootstrap call is done using the file:/ source type. However when using file:// debootstrap does something different and failed to find the file. The additional / had a bad impact to the call.
* Thu Oct 11 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.21 → 9.16.22
* Thu Oct 11 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Delete obsolete rhel/fedora doc move With the fix to use the rpm macro consistently it is no longer required to move around the docs

* Thu Oct 11 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed package specs for dracut modules on fedora dracut-network is a separate package on Fedora/RHEL too
* Thu Oct 11 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Add alternative search path for syslinux binaries On debian/ubuntu systems /usr/lib/ISOLINUX is a valid search path for syslinux binaries like isolinux.bin. This Fixes #839
* Thu Oct 11 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed package doc install target The spec file uses the %{_defaultdocdir} macro but the corresponding Makefile target used a hardcoded path which lead to inconsistencies on debian/ubuntu based systems. This Fixes #838
* Thu Oct 11 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed package specs for dracut modules on debian btrfs tools are provided by btrfs-tools package and not by btrfs-progs. In addition dracut-network is a separate package on debian/ubuntu based distributions. This Fixes #837
* Tue Oct 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Don\'t require gfxboot on rhel/fedora
* Tue Oct 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup zypper calls in documentation The way the documentation describes the zypper call to add a repository was wrong in several places.
* Tue Oct 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added gfxboot to required packages in spec kiwi calls gfxboot as tool when building live iso images. Thus this tool provided by the gfxboot package should be a requirement for kiwi
* Tue Oct 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.19 → 9.16.20
* Mon Oct 08 2018 msAATTsuse.de- rebuild auto generated code with stable generateDS For some reason the xml_parse code generated by generateDS v2.29.24 caused warnings on simple type XSD patterns. Therefore I rebuild the code with the stable build version v2.29.14 which fixed that issue
* Mon Oct 08 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup README travis and codacy status badges
* Mon Oct 08 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Adding bugfix trace for bsc#1110869 bsc#1108508 ticket was fixed with request #831 from SUSE/fix_uri_handler
* Sun Oct 07 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Include livenet module with dmsquash-live support The upstream dracut dmsquash-live module supports network mode with the livenet module. But that module must be explicitly included and is not fetched automatically. This Fixes #827
* Fri Oct 05 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.18 → 9.16.19
* Fri Oct 05 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Rename private method to be more expressive
* Fri Oct 05 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add Codec utils for bytes literals decoding In case of a literal decoding failure it tries to decode the result in utf-8. This is handy in python2 environments where python and the host might be using different charset configurations. In python3 this issue seams to be solved. Fixes #829 and bsc#1110871
* Fri Oct 05 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed URI handling with token query option So far only the query format ?credentials=... was supported. In case of ?random_token_data the returned uri was truncated and also the format check on the query caused a python trace. This Fixes #830 and Fixes #828
* Fri Oct 05 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Make use of the quiet flag of mountpoint command This commit sets the use of -q flag of mountpoint. Kiwi only checks the return code, thus any stdout is useless in this case. Fixes #829
* Tue Oct 02 2018 fergal.mc.carthyAATTsuse.com- Eliminate redundant code Create a helper method, _create_volume_no_zero, which calls the lvreate command with appropriate options and calls the vgscan command immeditately afterwards to create any missing /dev nodes.
* Sat Sep 29 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed broken link to ec2uploadimg tool
* Sat Sep 29 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update contact information We moved from IRC to Matrix as chat platform. Thus the documentation needs to be updated accordingly
* Thu Sep 27 2018 fergal.mc.carthyAATTsuse.com- Fixes LVM based image creation in OBS While attempting to create LVM based images under the Open Build Service I recently ran into some issues related to the fact that there is no udev running in the chroot environment used to build kiwi based images. Two workarounds have been implemented in this patch: (1) When calling lvcreate, include the `-Zn` option to disable the automatic zeroing of the header of the newly created LV device; doing so requires that the LV device\'s /dev entry exists immediately after it has been created, but in a chroot\'d environment udev isn\'t going to be running to automatically populate /dev// or /dev/mapper/-. This should be safe to do since the LV is being created within a loopback device based partition, which is backed by a zero filled file, created by qemu-img. (2) After creating an LV we need to run `vgscan --mknodes` to create the required device nodes under /dev, which won\'t be automatically created since udev isn\'t running in the chroot\'d environment. Unit tests updated to account for additional `-Zn` arguments that are being passed to `lvcreate` and for additional call that is being made to `vgscan --mknodes`. This fixes #824.
* Wed Sep 26 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.17 → 9.16.18
* Wed Sep 26 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Create parent qgroup when snapper is present This commit creates a new parent quota group (1/0) of level 1 when btrfs_quota_groups is enabled and snapper present into the image root tree. Related to bsc#1093518 and #812
* Wed Sep 26 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.16 → 9.16.17

* Wed Sep 26 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Disable warnings report from pytest By default pytest now generates warnings for all modules used in the tox environment. This information is nice but taints the test output of the code of this project and is therefore unwanted.
* Wed Sep 26 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.14 → 9.16.15

* Mon Sep 24 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Include PDF build of documentation to the package Bundle a PDF version of the online documentation with the rpm package build. Due to the complexity of getting a latex build environment into the travis CI which does not take forever to install, the bundling of a built PDF into the pypi archive has been skipped. Users installing from pypi would need to install a latex env on their machine and run make latexpdf from the installed bundle. This Fixes #819
* Mon Sep 24 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update docs for setting up development environment Reference py3.6 when showing example tox call. Also delete a py version reference where it was not needed
* Fri Sep 21 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update kiwi tools README Delete obsolete entries for tools no longer present
* Thu Sep 20 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Adding bugfix trace for bsc#1108508 bsc#1108508 ticket was fixed with bf556a96 and 77517cff commits. Just adding the ticket reference here.
* Wed Sep 19 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed disk detection for live iso in loopback grub If the live iso is used as a disk on e.g USB sticks and is configured to setup a persistent write space via the initrd option rd.live.overlay.persistent, it\'s required to find the disk device to create a write partition on it. This detection worked if the live iso is binary dumped on the disk and bootet due to the hybrid support each iso built by kiwi provides. However if the live ISO deployment should not destroy existing data on the disk there is an alternative setup which uses grub\'s loopback support and puts the iso as a file on some partition of the disk. In this mode the kiwi-live dracut module failed to find the disk device and could not setup a persistent write partition.
* Fri Sep 14 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.13 → 9.16.14

* Thu Sep 13 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Make use of kiwi/utils/sysconfig This commit makes use the sysconfig kiwi utility in order to read and eventually update the /etc/sysconfig/snapper file.
* Thu Sep 13 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Snapper configuration for btrfs quota support refactored This commit refactors the snapper configuration for btrfs quota support when btrfs_root_is_snapshot is enabled. The sysconfig file /etc/sysconfig/snapper is now taken into consideration. Fixes bsc#1093518
* Wed Sep 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed overlay of intermediate config files Some config files e.g etc/hosts needs to be temporary copied from the buildsystem host to the image root system. This is done by a custom copy with the .kiwi extension and a symlink to that file. During the installation process the package manager either overwrites the file or creates a .rpmnew variant. In case a .rpmnew variant exists there is code in kiwi which restores that .rpmnew variant to become the real file. However that _restore_intermediate_config_rpmnew_variants() method runs after overlay files has been applied to the system because it\'s part of the final cleanup step. In order to preserve an eventual overlay version of the file the .rpmnew variant gets only restored if the real file does not exist. This Fixes #807
* Wed Sep 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed dice documentation The chapter: Building in a Self-Contained Environment holds a fixed ruby version in the package install which was outdated. It also still referenced the container as tar.xz but we have changed to uncompressed containers by default a while back
* Tue Sep 11 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed filesystem builder use of exclude list kiwi defines a global Defaults.get_exclude_list_for_root_data_sync method but it was not used in the scope of the filesystem builder. Thus this builder was missing the exclusion of the .buildenv file. This references Issue #422 and Fixes #814
* Wed Sep 05 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Enhance /etc/snapper/configs/root file parser
* Tue Sep 04 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Fix quota groups management when snapper is present
* Fixes the config file path if root is snapshot
* Uses the correct QGROUP=\"\" syntax
* Do not overwrite the config file if already present Fixes bsc#1093518
* Sat Aug 25 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Separate dracut module install by Makefile target The dracut modules like kiwi provides it should not be part of the default install target. If kiwi gets installed from source or via pip all dracut code gets installed on that system which is unwanted and in the worst case leads to boot trouble next time this system rebuilds its initrd via dracut. Therefore an extra Makefile target which is used in the spec of an rpm but not in the install target of setup.py is provided in this commit. As a consequence the installation from pip will not install any dracut modules on that system which is intentional. Installing from source requires to run make install_dracut which if called assumes the caller knows what he/she does :)
* Mon Aug 20 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.11 → 9.16.12

* Tue Aug 07 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Fix baseStripUnusedLibs config method This commit arguments handling of the baseStripUnusedLibs that was not prepared to handle quoted variable containing a list. Fixes #798
* Tue Aug 07 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added doc chapter for remote live boot
* Mon Aug 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added support for pxe live boot via AOE The live ISO should support a network reference. We are using the Ata Over Ethernet protocol to achieve this. In combination with pxe boot of the kernel/initrd a live iso can boot from the network using the following parameter example: root=live:AOEINTERFACE:e0.1 rd.kiwi.live.pxe Export of the live iso file via AOE can be achieved using the vblade toolkit which needs to be available on the exporting system and compatible with the live operating system. This Fixes #796
* Mon Aug 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Run schema validation/update per XSL stylesheets
* Mon Aug 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added XSL stylesheet to auto update schema Drop oem-ataraid-scan from oemconfig if specified
* Mon Aug 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update vagrant doc chapter redirect links
* Mon Aug 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Drop oem-ataraid-scan from schema Along with the change we pin generateDS version to 2.29.14 because the newer version (2.29.19) creates broken python syntax for elements with a value list for their content like it\'s the case for the packagemanager element. The tool uses the name k.packagemanager.content as class name which is invalid for python.
* Mon Aug 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Delete dmraid aka: softraid soft/fakeraid support In fate#323743 the decision was made to drop dmraid from the distribution. Along with the low business case for those controllers and the support for linux softraid via mdadm we also drop the support in kiwi for oem-ataraid-scan

* Fri Jul 27 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add build tests for CentOS
* Fri Jul 27 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Do not replace version from the image name This commit makes sure that replacing version to version plus the build id on resulting files happens only on version suffixes. Before that if image name was including the version string it, this part was also replaced. Fixes #787 (bsc#1102868)
* Fri Jul 27 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Extending result bundle task tests to better cover corner cases This commit adds some tests to better cover a couple of cases:

* Mon Jul 16 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.2 → 9.16.3
* Fri Jul 13 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed name of checksum file for pxe type The pxe image build generates among others a checksum file with the suffix \'.md5\' This file is read by the legacy netboot code and is expected to have the same basename as the image file itself. However if the compressed attribute is set the image file name is set to \'image.xz\' and the checksum is named \'image.xz.md5\' which is wrong because \'image.md5\' is expected. This patch makes sure the checksum file is always set to \'image.md5\' no matter if the compressed flag is configured or not

However that seems to have changed and it is no longer required to match a certain pattern. Thus this patch changes the output name of the GCE tar file to use the same naming schema as KIWI applies to its output files
* Thu Jul 12 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add codacy.yml config file
* Wed Jul 11 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Move from landscape.io to codacy.com
* Wed Jul 11 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Updated Travis check icon to forked project
* Wed Jul 11 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Support label attribute in volumes The optional label attribute in a volume section allows to specify a filesystem label for the selected volume. The label setup will have no effect on filesystems which implements their own volume management like it\'s the case for btrfs. This Fixes #738
* Wed Jul 11 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update schema tron rules for btrfs type attributes The btrfs_
* attributes only applies for vmx and oem types
* Tue Jul 10 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed some code smells
* Use of unused variables, and dangerous defaults
* Update of design patterns on pylint and landscape
* Fri Jul 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Add support for activation of btrfs quota groups If the new type attribute btrfs_quota_groups is set to true this will enable the quota group system for btrfs based systems. This Fixes #772 and bsc#1093518
* Fri Jul 06 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Improve coding style, tests and label format validation
* Fri Jul 06 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Add \'--add-container-label\' flag This commits adds a command line flag to add a label for container image types. The flag can be used multiple times. Fixes #770
* Wed Jul 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added system cleanup methods Some files in the system gets created by services like systemd or zypper and are meant to be created once on the target system. However in the image they might be unwanted. Thus this commit adds convenience methods to delete files which gets automatically re-created by the services on startup. Whether or not the methods are used is in the responsibility of the author of the image descripion. This Fixes bsc#1098535
* Fri Jun 29 2018 adrianAATTsuse.de- avoid double quoting of disturl in label (...=\"\'obs://...\'\"). avoid always printed warning of missing disturl make use of disturl variable
* Wed Jun 20 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.1 → 9.16.2
* Wed Jun 20 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Simplify configfile loading prefix and root variables are correctly set, thus calling the \"normal\" command has the same effect than the explicit call for \"configfile\"
* Tue Jun 19 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Prevent building custom efi image If the distribution provides a prebuilt efi image kiwi should use it instead of building its own image.
* Wed Jun 13 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.16.0 → 9.16.1
* Wed Jun 13 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Avoid module loading in grub config template This patch is two fold. First part replaces the import of dedicated video modules in the grub image by the all_video module. Second part avoids runtime module insertion which requires access to the boot filesystem which is not guaranteed on sophisticated rootfs structures like btrfs plus readonly snapshots and what not. Thus we make sure all boot code is embedded into the grub image(s) and no extra loading of modules at runtime will be needed. This Fixes bsc#1096937
* Tue Jun 12 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Fix for bsc#1094788 This is just an empty commit to include the bugfix reference in the repository history. The bugfix for bsc#1094788 was actually commited in: commit 835cebfe5c488515dfbcdf33dab6262613ca5508 Author: Marcus Schäfer Date: Tue May 29 16:42:55 2018 +0200
* Tue Jun 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Complete GUID change from signed to unsigned Follow up fix to complete the binary packing of the GUID format to use unsigned types. Missed to move short source from signed to unsigned. This Fixes bsc#1095267
* Wed Jun 06 2018 ngompa13AATTgmail.com- Use the versioned Python interpreter path to run build helper scripts The kiwi build process mostly does the right thing in terms of executing with the correct Python interpreter throughout the build process, with the exception of the Makefile not correctly locating the versioned Python interpreter executable path, and the bash completion generator being executed using \'/usr/bin/python\' without regard for what the target environment was. This is a problem when a build environment complying with PEP 394 as it stands today does not have Python 2 installed, such as when kiwi is being built as a Python 3-only package in Fedora. Thus, the Makefile has been adjusted to not only correctly locate the versioned Python interpreter, but to also execute \'completion_helper\' with the correct interpreter. Additionally, a trivial change to the shebang to \'completion_helper\' was made to be consistent with other Python-based build helper scripts. This is part of the overall effort to eliminate the dependencies on Python 2 in Fedora. Reference: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FinalizingFedoraSwitchtoPython3
* Wed Jun 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.15.4 → 9.16.0
* Wed Jun 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Move fedora integration test build to fc28 distro
* Tue Jun 05 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.15.3 → 9.15.4
* Tue Jun 05 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup move_to_root method move_to_root is called to check each element of a given list and changes any path specification to a valid path if the given root path would be it\'s root(/). This tranformation implied the creation of paths containing double slashes like //foo which was considered harmless. However it has turned out that the dnf package manager makes a difference here which requires to fix the resulting paths. This Fixes #761
* Mon Jun 04 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Adding license tag under description tag in schema This license tag does not effect the resulting image in any way. The tag is just included to state the license of the kiwi image sources in case they are distributed. Fixes #728
* Mon Jun 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Make sure profile env is included in live images For all images which boots via dracut the .profile file is included except for live iso\'s because no information is needed from that file to boot or customize the boot. However the .profile contains the kiwi_revision information which is useful for any image type. This Fixes #755
* Mon Jun 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Add config-cdroot to description import list During the prepare step the image description and mandatory files needed in the create step are copied into the image root system below the image/ directory. In case of the optional config-cdroot archive this copy action was missing which lead to the problem that the archive was not present if the kiwi system create command is sequence is used. This Fixes #756
* Mon Jun 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added true module to grub image list When kiwi creates a grub image a list of modules are embedded. For the purpose of snapshot boot the true module seems to be used but was not included at build time when kiwi created the grub image. This Fixes bsc#1093917
* Mon Jun 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Changed GUID format from signed to unsigned With reference to Microsoft Guid constructors it seems unsigned values are allowed which could exceed the value range of the binary unpack used in kiwi. This Fixes bsc#1095267
* Fri Jun 01 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Fix SC2164 complain of shellcheck
* Thu May 31 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Updating shellcheck call from tox Recent shellcheck versions are more strict and complain about backslashes \"\\\" used in literals claiming it is preferred to use double backslashes \"\\\\\". As is just a styling advise and we use backslashes in multiple commands (echo, sed, etc) I believe this can be ignored.
* Wed May 30 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.de- Relax runtime check for ISO images using dmsquash This commit relaxes the dracut-kiwi-live module requirement if dmsquash dracut module is selected in flags attribute.
* Tue May 29 2018 msAATTsuse.de- omit multipath module in live iso initrd The multipath module creates device maps which puts the device in a busy state and prevents the creation of a persistent write partition. As multipath seems never useful for the root of a live iso image we generally omit this module from being included
* Tue May 29 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup LOADER_LOCATION in sysconfig/bootloader By default we always set LOADER_LOCATION=mbr which is wrong if EFI is in use. This patch updates the value to be correct. It also seems that this variable is only consumed by the yast2 bootloader module from past days. Thus we consider it obsolete and on the to be droped list in future releases. This Fixes #746
* Tue May 29 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.15.2 → 9.15.3
* Mon May 28 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fix setup of LOADER_TYPE in sysconfig/bootloader LOADER_TYPE value for the grub2 bootloader depends on the use of EFI. This Fixes bsc#1094883
* Mon May 28 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added documentation for config-cdroot archive
* Mon May 28 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added support for config-cdroot archive The image description now allows an optional file named: config-cdroot.tar[.compression_postfix]. The file gets unpacked as user data for live and install ISO images. This allows users to add e.g license files or reference documentation to the ISO image. This Fixes #737
* Mon May 28 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Verify file does not exist before creating symlink
* Mon May 28 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add service dependencies in generators Correctly adding the initrd-root-fs.target service dependency to auto generated sysroot.mount for kiwi-live and kiwi-overlay dracut modules. Fixes #741
* Mon May 28 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Do not create static dev nodes in root init For compatibility reasons kiwi created a set of static device nodes when initializing a new image root system. With the presence of devtmpfs this should no longer be needed. In addition the static dev node setup now also causes problems on filesystems like btrfs which was the reason to delete this code now. This Fixes bsc#1087104
* Thu May 24 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Do not delete uncompressed base docker images Fixes #739
* Wed May 16 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.15.1 → 9.15.2
* Wed May 16 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Fix zypper add lock operations This commit fixes the arguments passed to zypper in add lock operations.
* Tue May 15 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add correct GPL-3.0-or-later license Add the correct license reference in the spec License field Fixes #732
* Tue May 15 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Make container compression a configuration option Change the ContainerBuilder class to evaluate on the configuration options to decide if the container archive should be compressed or not. By default the archive will be compressed, thus there is no change to the former behavior but can be setup in ~/.config/kiwi/config.yml as follows: container: - compress: none|xz This Fixes #725
* Tue May 15 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Return file name after archive or compression call Extend the ArchiveTar and Compress classes such that their archiving and compression methods returns the result file name after the operation
* Tue May 15 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Allow docker root import from uncompressed file Check the given file name for its compression format and only uncompress if a supported format could be detected. This Fixes #730
* Mon May 14 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add additionaltags containerconfig attribute This commit adds `additionaltags` attribute, so multiple tags to a container image can be defined in a comma separated value. Fixes #713
* Wed May 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.15.0 → 9.15.1

* Tue May 08 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update arm integration test Existing panda build was outdated and non functional. Move the test to a more popular target and write the image description to use technology matching the suse arm development effort. Target is now Rpi(64bit)
* Tue May 08 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Use latest version of sphinx Formerly sphinx==1.6.7 was used because travis-sphinx failed with latest sphinx. Now travis-sphinx fails with 1.6.7 and I hope using latest sphinx will fix that
* Tue May 08 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.14.7 → 9.15.0
* Mon May 07 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add comment in pinch_system calls
* Mon May 07 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Refining the uninstall type implementation
* Fri May 04 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add uninstall pacakges type This commit adds a new `uninstall` type for packages. Packages listed with this type will be removed by the package manager cleaning also any unneeded dependency. The removal is executed after running `config.sh`. Also in this commit `delete` type for packages is now executed after `uninstall` packages, meaing it also happens after `config.sh`. Fixes #625
* Fri May 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.14.6 → 9.14.7
* Fri May 04 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Some simple code cleaning
* Fri May 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed check for volume group in use The former implementation evaluates the output of the vgs command and set the volume group as in use if one of the listed volume groups on the host contains the group name set by the image description. This would also match if the group name set in the image description is e.g \'System\' and the a volume group on the host with name \'SystemVG\' exists. However a conflict only exists on exact match of the name. The proposed fix is to use the --select feature from vgs and let it show information on exact match of the vg_name field. The code in kiwi then just evaluates if the selection by vgs has a value or not. This Fixes #721
* Fri May 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fix setup of kiwi_lvm profile variable kiwi_lvm was always set to true if a volume management system is in use. However it should only be set to true if the selected volume management system is lvm. The same applies to the kiwi_lvmgroup variable which also only makes sense if the lvm volume management system is used. This Fixes bsc#1090427
* Mon Apr 30 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.14.5 → 9.14.6
* Thu Apr 26 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Extend test-image-azure integration test Use xfs as filesystem and set a tag to also test image tags
* Thu Apr 26 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Use /dev/zero to really write a zero byte The cleanup of the 512 byte block for the vhdfixed tag was based on reading from /dev/null which does effectively nothing. As the block should be filled with zero bytes this patch changes the source from /dev/null to /dev/zero This was found by tests to reproduce the issue reported in bsc#1090953 but is not causing it

* Fri Apr 20 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Use travis stages feature for pypi deployment Problem ist that the deploy section is called for every item in the former matrix: setup. This means the pypi upload was triggered twice for the same archive which means one target always fails. In order to deploy only once travis provides a stages feature which is used in this commit

* Tue Apr 10 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup creation of vmware settings file The kiwi schema allows for multiple vmnic sections but kiwi only took the primary one into account. This patch uses all configured vmnic sections. This Fixes #688
* Tue Apr 10 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Support lookup for fstab.append on fstab creation At the time kiwi creates the fstab with all required fields to boot the system it now also looks for an optional fstab.append file and appends its contents to the fstab file. This allows to setup custom fstab entries for filesystem mounts which are established outside of the kiwi image building process by e.g a service at first boot
* Tue Apr 10 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Add auto release to pypi on release tags This will automatically release kiwi on pypi if a new tag in master is set. This happens when bumpversion is called followed by a push and push --tags. Only if the tag is pushed the travis deployment gets triggered. This Fixes #678
* Mon Apr 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Change variable quoting for Rm/Rpm shell helpers The two methods exists to overlay their call with a logging facility. Thus it is ok and expected that the caller can pass arguments for the program e.g (Rm -rf foo) which resulted in (rm \'-rf foo\') leading to a runtime error.
* Mon Apr 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.14.1 → 9.14.2
* Fri Apr 06 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Fix default initrd_system values This commit fixes the default initrd_system value for some image types. Since this value is included in profile and potentially taken into account for some of the config script functions, it is important to have consistent values even when the image type has no initrd choice or it doesn\'t have initrd at all. Related to #689
* Fri Apr 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Check partition table after cow part creation Proceed with the persistent write partition setup only if the cow partition could have been created successfully
* Thu Apr 05 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed detection of disk node in live iso images If the live iso is booted as disk the initrd code needs to find the correct disk node pointing to the iso image. This was formerly done by checking if the populated disk devices contains an iso header with an application id. The information was obtained using the isoinfo tool. isoinfo is a tool provided by the obsolete and xorriso replaced cdrtools kit. In addition the lookup was unsafe because any iso with an application id would have been valid. Thus this patch changes the detection mechanism to use the volume id as it is used in the root assignment on the cmdline. The volume id is populated as device label for the assigned block device and can therefore be used as a unique id. The volume id itself is a configuration option in the image XML description. If not set the default is \'CDROM\'. The information can be obtained via blkid and therefore also eliminates the isoinfo requirement
* Wed Apr 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup test-image-docker unresolvable state genisoimage seems no longer present in the distro
* Wed Apr 04 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update etc/default/grub setup kiwi writes optional grub boot parameters to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable in default/grub. This information is then picked up by grub2-mkconfig and written to grub.cfg However there is also another variable named GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT which according to the documentation should be used preferably. While it does not seem to matter for grub it matters for yast. Thus this patch changes the configuration variable and fixes bsc#1084117
* Tue Apr 03 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.14.0 → 9.14.1
* Tue Apr 03 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed truncation of image when writing vhd tag When writing the vhd tag into a vhdfixed formatted image the image was opened with the wrong open bits \'wb\' and thus was truncated at the 64k offset. This patch fixes the open bits to allow in-place tag writing. This Fixes bsc#1077096
* Tue Apr 03 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Make use of autoremove in Yum and Dnf to clean dependencies
* Wed Mar 28 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Enable no forced deletion for dnf, yum and apt package managers This commit makes apt, yum and dnf support equivalent to zypper in terms of being capable to delete packages using the package manger tools (implies dependencies deletion is handled by the package manager) or deleting explicitly only listed packages using packager tools even if this implies breaking dependencies.
* Tue Mar 27 2018 gmoroAATTsuse.de- fix vmx fileName parameter, bsc#1084157

* Fri Mar 23 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Delete obsolete hybrid attribute from type Any iso image we create will be a hybrid image. That was already the default for any install iso image and was a configuration option for live images. The optional selection only existed for systems which do not provide tools to make an iso hybrid. All distributions kiwi supports provides this capabilities and there is no good reason why a live or install iso should not be hybrid and bootable as iso and as disk. Also the boot in disk mode became the preferred boot method for the majority of our users which requires to provide a hybrid iso
* Thu Mar 22 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add efiparttable type attribute This commit allows to choose the partition table type for efi firmwares using the efiparttable type attribute. Fixes #638
* Thu Mar 22 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update spec file to require xorriso
* Thu Mar 22 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Cleanup hybrid call and use of iso tool options The extra isohybrid call is only needed if the mkisofs tool category is used. Thus it should be only visible at the place where the isofs is created and not as an extra step in the builder tasks. Additionally the handling of extra options was mkisofs specific and should be better done as a common meta_data record. The tool specific options should only appear in the tool specific class implementations
* Thu Mar 22 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Allow to configure iso tool category Switch to xorriso by default but allow to setup cdrtools in the runtime configuration file
* Wed Mar 21 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Remove xml_parse.py shebang in spec It removes the shebang from the autogenerated file and also removes the exception in rpmlint to ignore non-executable-script warning. Fixes #666
* Mon Mar 19 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Remove unneeded shebangs from dracut modules Fixes #668
* Mon Mar 19 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added IsoToolsXorrIso class As an alternative to mkisofs/genisoimage there is now the IsoToolsXorrIso class which implements the IsoTools interface by using xorriso. This Fixes #635

* Fri Mar 16 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Add create_iso method to iso_tools api
* Thu Mar 15 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Seperate iso tool handling into its own namespace The Iso class only provides generic helper methods around the creation of ISO filesystems. For the creation of the filesystem itself we encapsulate the tool parameter handling into its own class. For the option compatible mkisofs/genisoimage tools the IsoToolsCdrTools class exists. This allows to create e.g IsoToolsXorrIso class as a future implementation
* Thu Mar 15 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Refactor iso helper tools There are several tools available to build iso images. genisoimage, mkisofs and also xorriso. The history of the tools shows them to be used in the range of available Linux distributions. Thus kiwi contains an abstraction layer to support them but assumed they are option compatible. With the xorriso implementation this is no longer correct and therefore a refactoring of the iso tools api is required before support for xorriso can be added. This references Issue #635

* Mon Mar 12 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Add profile dependencies With this commit the profile can include other profiles as a dependency. This way it is possible build an image defined by multiple profiles by just calling a single composed profile from the command line. Fixes #658
* Mon Mar 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.13.5 → 9.13.6
* Fri Mar 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Disable multipath from oem build test
* Fri Mar 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup setup of root_filesystem_is_multipath The variable is set to a boolean value or None. If set to False due to a configuration of oem-multipath-scan this will cause the dracut multipath module to be omitted. In any other case the presence of the multipath module decides whether it will be included into the dracut generated initrd or not.
* Fri Mar 09 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup python-kiwi base package requires There is no need for the base package to require multipath. Those tools are only needed for dracut modules
* Thu Mar 08 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Use dracut modules based on feature use As the kiwi build dracut initrd is a generic one which includes all installed dracut modules we missed a way to exclude modules from beeing incorporated even if we know it would not be needed. One example is the multipath module which would only be useful if the oem multipath scan is configured in the image description
* Wed Mar 07 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update test-image-oem build Create hostonly dracut initrd on first boot and replace kiwi\'s grub config by the result of grub2-mkconfig

* Tue Mar 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.13.4 → 9.13.5
* Tue Mar 06 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed btrfs search path in earlyboot script If kiwi generates its own efi image for the boot process it does not setup the btrfs relative path setup in the earlyboot script embedded into the generated efi image. This has a bad impact on the file search because the btrfs setup done in kiwi puts root below the AATT volume which we then need to specify of the relative lookup is not activated. Fixes bsc#1082155

* Mon Mar 05 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Use LABEL for the swap partition If multipath and device maps are active the fstab entry should use the LABEL reference. Systemd calls swapon and it only works properly with multipath devices when LABEL reference is used or calling directly on the /dev/dm-
* device file.

* Fri Mar 02 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Resize partition table after image resize The command \'kiwi image resize\' allows to resize the size of a disk image. Depending on the partition table type it is also required to resize the partition table inside of the image to let the file size change become effective This Fixes #534
* Fri Mar 02 2018 MichalMarek1AATTeaton.com- APT: Support patternType in the bootstrap phase With patternType=\"onlyRequired\" (the default), run debootstrap with - -variant=minbase to install only essential packages. With patternType=\"plusRecommended\", let debootstrap also install important packages. This is not exactly what the patternType keyword means with other targets, but it allows to choose between an absolutely minimal image and a small but usable system.

* Fri Mar 02 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Reactivate device mappings after repart. Fixes #645 This commit recreates removed device maps and triggers again systemd generators in order to adapt again device units to the new context. Fixes #645
* Fri Mar 02 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Refactor ovftool check The way this was done mask errors from the call with the check if the tool exists on the host. This patch refactors this and makes clear where we check for the tool to be installed and where we actually call it
* Fri Mar 02 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Extend has_option_in_help to also check error data
* Thu Mar 01 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Check if isotool supports eltorito-platform option Along with the change there is a small refactoring to populate the iso tool search to the public api of the Iso class
* Thu Mar 01 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Set eltorito-platform for efi The default eltorito platform is set to \"x86_64 PC\", however in an alternative bootloader spec for efi this would be the wrong platform spec. This patch adds the correct platform to the alt-boot setup for efi. References #643
* Wed Feb 28 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup obs test status helper Use osc results output to get better status information
* Wed Feb 28 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed get_free_disk_bytes in dracut kiwi-lib The method used any device from the lsblk output, but it can happen that some device nodes with different name point to the same physical device. The method would then calculate the free space wrong. This patch takes the PARTUUID value into account to make sure any partition device size is used only once. This Fixes #648
* Tue Feb 27 2018 tom_schrAATTweb.de- Use pytest instead of py.test From pytest 3.0, it is recommended to use \"pytest\" as the main command. The use of \"py.test\" is deprecated and is potentially removed in the future.
* Tue Feb 27 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update tox setup Add python 3.6 target and activate it for the travis and the local make targets Use major python version for the check(flake) and doc targets where the interpreter minor version is not primarily important This references #641

* Fri Feb 23 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Added doc page how to setup yast on firstboot
* Thu Feb 22 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Allow arch attribute for profiles specification A profile could be relevant for only a specific architecture. There was no way to express that in the XML description. With the change in this commit a specification like the following is possible: Profile A is only usable on the aarch64 architecture, whereas profile B would be usable on all architectures.
* Selecting an arch specific profile from the commandline via the --profile option on a system which is not of that architecture will result in an error message.
* Using the import=\"true\" attribute in the definition for an arch specific profile will cause the import of that profile only on that architecture and silently ignore the import on any other architecture This Fixes #637
* Thu Feb 22 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update build-test descriptions for Kanku As part of the buildservice there is now also a CI system called Kanku which allows for image boot/run tests. The only requirement on the image level which is missing in our build test descriptions is the setup of the serial console. This patch updates those image descriptions which could be tested by kanku to provide a serial console at boot time. The plan is that our build-test images automatically gets boot tested by the Kanku CI. This should include boot, console-login, reboot, console login, shutdown. The required job description to do this needs to be worked out together with the Kanku team
* Tue Feb 20 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Adding publisher attribute for ISOs This commit adds the \'publisher\' attribute in type only for ISO image type. It sets the publisher name of the resulting ISO. Fixes #630
* Tue Feb 20 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixed yum vs. yum-deprecated binary lookup When using the yum package manager it could be either provided as yum or yum-deprecated binary. Because of this the search method to find the binary needs to know the context from which the call is performed. This could be either the host system or the created image root. This Fixes #624
* Tue Feb 20 2018 MichalMarek1AATTeaton.com- APT: Run debootstrap with --variant=minbase This selects only packages with Priority: required, which is more in line with what the other package managers are doing. A patch for kiwi-descriptions has been submitted to adapt to this new behavior.
* Fri Feb 16 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.12.9 → 9.13.0
* Fri Feb 16 2018 agrafAATTsuse.de- Do not emit linuxefi/initrdefi on non-x86 platforms Grub wants to have linuxefi/initrdefi commands to execute Linux via the UEFI calling convention on x86. However, all other platforms simply use the normal linux/initrd commands, because there grub assumes that an EFI grub wants to run an EFI payload. Reflect this architecture difference in the generated grub configuration. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf
* Thu Feb 15 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Fixup grub2 theme setup The presence of a background file was mandatory for kiwi to use the theme. But the background information is optional
* Wed Feb 14 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Deleted obsolete boot descriptions The custom kiwi boot descriptions has been moved into the kiwi-descriptions github repo and builds the compat package kiwi-boot-descriptions from there. The build of the boot image(initrd) is done by dracut and the dracut module packages provided by kiwi. The classic custom boot descriptions can still be used as alternative method if the above package is installed. Related to Issue #576
* Tue Feb 13 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Create compatible boot options The boot option root=install:CDLABEL= is mandatory for install images which uses the dracut initrd system. But for the custom kiwi oemboot descriptions this is causing a problem when detecting the install device. Thus the above boot option is only applied for the initrd system which actually makes use of it
* Tue Feb 13 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update boot description search path With the move of the boot descriptions in its own package the kiwi search path needs to be adapted to look for boot descriptions in /usr/share/kiwi/custom_boot. In addition a runtime check to exit early if the boot description could not be found or is not specified will be provided. Related to Issue #576
* Tue Feb 13 2018 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Update the docs to the current example present in kiwi-descriptions
* Mon Feb 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Bump version: 9.12.8 → 9.12.9
* Mon Feb 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Update .virtualenv.dev-requirements.txt sphinx 1.7.0 is not compatible with travis-sphinx thus we stick with 1.6.7 until travis-sphinx followed the sphinx changes
* Mon Feb 12 2018 msAATTsuse.de- Add restrictions to Path.remove_hierarchy When an iso file is used as repo, this iso will be loop mounted on the host and bind mounted into the image root as long as the image builds. When the mount is released a recursive cleanup of the complete path happens. This is done by calling Path.remove_hierarchy. However if a sub path of the mount path contains a system root directory which is mandatory for the Linux root system it is not allowed to be deleted even if it is empty at the time of the mount cleanup. Thus this patch adds a lookup for protected directory names and only runs the recursive deletion as long as no protected member is part of the path. This fixes bsc#1080301
* Sun Feb 11 2018 ngompaAATTdatto.com- Initial support for building Debian/Ubuntu packages in spec This adds support for producing the main kiwi package as well as the packages for the dracut modules to be used when building Debian-based distribution images with KIWI. The Debian/Ubuntu package is built using debbuild: https://github.com/ascherer/debbuild

The code part causes vmdk format issues in current up to date hipervisors such as VMWarePlayer 14 or Virtualbox 5.2. Removing this code does not produce any failure, at most can only imply loosing some features provided by open-vm-tools package. Fixes #591

* Tue Dec 19 2017 dcassanyAATTsuse.com- Omit kiwi-repart dracut module in oemboot initrd KIWI\'s oemboot initrd with initrd_system=\"dracut\" together with installiso=\"true\" requires to have dracut-kiwi-oem-repart package installed in the system, thus it ends up also being included in the recreated dracut initrd after booting the oemboot initrd from the installation iso. This kiwi-repart module causes a boot failure in that case since no .profile file is present, moreover, it has no sense to run it at that stage, since the disk is already reparted by the oemboot code. This commit allows installiso=\"true\" and initrd_system=\"dracut\" to play well together.
