As of grub2 >= 2.02-95 on redhat family distros, calling grub2-install
on an EFI partition will fail with: "this utility cannot be used for
EFI platforms because it does not support UEFI Secure Boot."
This version of grub is now in centos8-stream and non-eus repos of
RHEL-8. It is not currently possible to build whole-disk UEFI images
on these distros, and when this package is promoted this will also
affect centos8 and RHEL-8 eus. The grub maintainers made this change
because the grub2-install generated /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
will never be capable of booting with Secure Boot.
This change defines a $EFI_BOOT_DIR for every distro element. When
directory /boot/efi/$EFI_BOOT_DIR exists a grub.cfg file in will be
generated there. This change also installs the shim package on redhat
family distros, which installs a copy of the shim bootloader to
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI. Using centos as an example, this
allows UEFI to boot the shim /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI which
then chains to /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grubx64.efi.
If /boot/efi/$EFI_BOOT_DIR doesn't exist (such as for Ubuntu,
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu) the current behaviour of running grub-install to
generate /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI will continue. For distros
such as Ubutnu where packaging does not populate /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu
with .efi files, secure boot can be added in the future by copying
.efi files to /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu and copying the shim file to
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI.

portage now generates /etc/python-exec/python-exec.conf based on the
order of PYTHON_TARGETS in /etc/portage/make.conf
fixes an issue where ARCH was being detected as amd64 not x86_64
fixes kernel installs (virtual/dist-kernel)
standardizes simple if statements (note, the 'shorthand' method will
pass the exit code back to shell but the 'longhand' does not).

The current implementation evauates the dib-init-system
script too early. Also it looks that there is no simple
way of getting the info about the init system automatically:
another element can install (later on) a different
init system. Therefore the only reliable way of setting
this is manual.

The 17.1 profile changed the defaults used in portage for where we store
our repo, distfiles and binpkgs. Some portage related variables need to
be set deterministically. 17.1 is no enabled for Systemd's profile.

autounmask=y (default) changes portage depsolving, causing errors
(mostly often seen in perl and binpkg related issues).
Disabling this functionality for DIB builds is OK as the enviroment is
not passed on post build and the build process is not interactive
anyway.

To facilitate this I've created two new environment variables to set
the environment and default options for package actions.
eval is needed for the export as it preserves quotes.

Default the GENTOO_PORTAGE_CLEANUP to True. By default we should not
ship package info, this bloats the image and is usually outdated by the
time it'd be consumed.

This is intended to eventually support building musl-libc based images,
which need the musl overlay.

There have been a few changes over the past few months, here we make the
following changes.
* change from backtrack=99 to complete-graph as a more correct flag
* make python version selection more in line with what gentoo supports
* set up python before stuff gets pip installed
* ensure we have the proper pip so we can install pip packages as root
* ensure we have the proper use flags for the disk formatting changes
* set DIB_RELEASE like other distros
* fix openssh-server element for gentoo

Currently we have all our elements and library files in a top-level
directory and install them into
<root>/share/diskimage-builder/[elements|lib] (where root is either /
or the root of a virtualenv).
The problem with this is that editable/development installs (pip -e)
do *not* install data_files. Thus we have no canonical location to
look for elements -- leading to the various odd things we do such as a
whole bunch of guessing at the top of disk-image-create and having a
special test-loader in tests/test_elements.py so we can run python
unit tests on those elements that have it.
data_files is really the wrong thing to use for what are essentially
assets of the program. data_files install works well for things like
config-files, init.d files or dropping documentation files.
By moving the elements under the diskimage_builder package, we always
know where they are relative to where we import from. In fact,
pkg_resources has an api for this which we wrap in the new
diskimage_builder/paths.py helper [1].
We use this helper to find the correct path in the couple of places we
need to find the base-elements dir, and for the paths to import the
library shell functions.
Elements such as svc-map and pkg-map include python unit-tests, which
we do not need tests/test_elements.py to special-case load any more.
They just get found automatically by the normal subunit loader.
I have a follow-on change (I69ca3d26fede0506a6353c077c69f735c8d84d28)
to move disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point.
Unfortunately, this has to move to work with setuptools. You'd think
a symlink under diskimage_builder/[elements|lib] would work, but it
doesn't.
[1] this API handles stuff like getting files out of .zip archive
modules, which we don't do. Essentially for us it's returning
__file__.
