diskimage-builder/releasenotes/notes/add-version-less-rhel-element-82fac7f2609e16d3.yaml

---
features:
  - Adds a new element ``rhel`` to handle all supported RHEL releases, which
    are currently '7' and '8'. As of now, users of diskimage-builder will
    still be able to use the 'rhel7' element, or migrate to 'rhel' and specify
    their respective DIB_RELEASE value.
Add version-less RHEL element for RHEL7 and RHEL8 Make a version-less RHEL element to handle both '7' and '8' DIB_RELEASE. The element usage should align with other elements which operate in the same way such as the Fedora element. Additionally, this patch adds support for RHEL8 that operates with Python 3. As of now, users of diskimage-builder will still be able to use the 'rhel7' element, or migrate to 'rhel' and specify their respective DIB_RELEASE value. * mount the xfs file-system for extraction as read-only. vaguely based on explaination in [1] and the fact we only read the image data into a tar, so can ignore this. XFS (dm-1): Superblock has unknown read-only compatible features (0x4) enabled. * Use the redhat system python as the dib-python version. dib was ahead of it's time making an abstracted python interpreter for system work ;) the system python should work for running the various dib element scripts.
