From 0c58eb11a0fa3110d079807ec20e722e40150134 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gregory Haynes Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2015 19:18:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Break install-types out of base We support building elements without depending on the base element. Breaking install-types out into its own element while making base depend on it so elements can depend in it without base.

The default install type +is 'source' but it can be modified on the disk-image-create command line +via the --install-type option. For example you can set: + + --install-type=package + +to enable package installs by default. Alternately, you can also +set DIB\_DEFAULT\_INSTALLTYPE. + +Many elements expose different install types. The different implementations +live under `--install` directories under an +element's install.d. The base element enables the chosen install type by +symlinking the correct hook scripts under install.d directly. +`` can be a string of alphanumeric and '-' characters, but +typically corresponds to the element name. + +For example, the nova element would provide: + + nova/install.d/nova-package-install/74-nova + nova/install.d/nova-source-install/74-nova + +The following symlink would be created for the package install type: + + install.d/74-nova -> nova-package-install/74-nova + +Or, for the source install type: + + install.d/74-nova -> nova-source-install/74-nova + +All other scripts that exist under install.d for an element will be executed as +normal.
