Every run we are doing a full tar.gz of the chroot environment that
never gets used.
It's not suitable for CI since we use fresh images each time there.
The cache in general isn't really isn't a very safe thing to have
around, because there's no invalidation procedure and no real way to
make one -- we've no guarantee that a new chroot build even moments
after a previous one wouldn't bring in or different packages, etc (of
course this is *unlikely*, but the longer you go between builds the
worse the problem becomes. Also, tons of packages get installed after
this not from any cache, so potential speed-up is rather marginal.
Debian turned this off with I58fc485aacacaa17243bf9ce760ed91256d1f182.
However, given the reasons above and it's complete lack of testing, I
don't see this as useful.
If we really want this type of thing, I think we should come up with a
way to use a persistent external yum/dnf cache that yum/dnf keeps in
sync with it's usual invalidation rules.

The squashfs format brings a couple of advantages over the other

dracut has a "hostonly" mode where it builds an initramfs that is
suitable for booting the system it is building on. This is on by
default, but obviously in our nested multi-platform chroot situation
this is fraught with danger.
As highlighted by [1] our builds were inadvertently turning off
"hostonly" mode when the mountpoints in the chroot were not found.
The CentOS 7.3 behaviour change broke this and we ended up with an
initramfs with no file-system modules.
Iaf2a1e8470f642bfaaaad3f9b7f26cfc8cc445c9 introduced a regeneration of
the initramfs, which I think does work as described because it runs in
the loopback device.
However, dracut includes a package that installs configuration
overrides to build a generic initramfs. This is really what we want,
and should solve the problem no matter where the initramfs is created.
Add this package into yum-minimal and remove the extra re-create call
which should not be necessary.

openSUSE 13.1 was discontinued on Feb 3rd, 2016, so defaulting
to it doesn't make sense (see https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime).
Leap 42.2 is the most current release that is supported by
disk-image-builder and being tested in a 3rd party ci.
Enable functests for it to ensure we're not regressing again.

For some reason [1] introduced -m option without ever checking that the
mapping exists. Because there is no grub-ieee1275 mapping anywhere (not
in base, not in bootloader), pkg-map fails. So stop using the mapping in
package-install of grub-ieee1275 on ppc.
There is another patch that tries to solve the same bug by adding the
mapping [2]. I think it is better to undo the breakage introduced in [1]
first, and then, if various distributions have differing names for the
package, introduce various mappings. My reasoning is that at the moment
this element is broken for all ppc64 distributions. This patch would
fix it for some (namely, Ubuntu). Then we can add mappings as tests
are done for other distributions.

dracut has a loop [1] where it probes top-level directories, tries to
find what block device they are on, then determines the file-system of
that block device. It then puts those file-system modules into the
initramfs for boot.
Since we install the kernel package during the chroot phase, / there
is not a block device and thus this loop matches nothing and we end up
with no file-system modules in the initramfs. This results in a very
annoying silent boot hang.
By moving re-generation of dracut into finalise.d phase, we run inside
the final image where / is the loop-device; the root file-system gets
detected correctly and the ext4 module is included correctly.

Tripleo-image-elements have an install.d file '05-heat-cfntools' that runs
the following command:
virtualenv --setuptools $VENV
With the recent change to diskimage-builder (moving the install of pip
and virtualenv to the 10- range) virtualenv is no longer available for
this elementr; as a side-effect, the trove kick-start command is now
broken and gate jobs are failing.
The solutions is to move the (now) 10-install-pip to 04-install-pip.
This should still alleviate the race condition that
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/408277/ attempted to fix, as all
*-package-installs files are 00-, 01- or 02-.

Commit 6278371eaa13("Make dib-python use the default python for distro")
added default python version for various distros but it missed openSUSE
which leads to build failures since the openSUSE elements are pulling
python2 packages. Add openSUSE to the list of python2 distributions
until python3 support for the openSUSE elements is in place.

We are explicitly calling python in this element which does not work on
systems which only have python3.
Change-Id: Ia730850a48e2478fd5461710a9d2619408725cd8
Now that we are explicit about what python version we intend to use
for dib we can have package installs optionally install packages
depending on this. Add a new dib_python_version that matches on the
DIB_PYTHON_VERSION string set by dib-python.

systemd doesn't like it when service files have the executable bit
so this causes it to spam the journal with messages like:
Configuration file /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcp-interface@.service is
marked executable. Please remove executable permission bits.
Proceeding anyway.
Removing the executable bit from the install permissions should
eliminate those messages.

Right now dib-python works by trying to find any python on a system in
an order of precedence. A much better way is if we are explicit about
the python we intend to be there which will allow us to make better
decisions in other elements (such as allowing for package-installs to
take into account DIB_PYTHON_VERSION) as well as allow for users to
specify a preferred python version.

Most of our distros support DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR for setting the
mirror to be used when building. This has a major downside where if
someone would like to create a static configuration for building various
distro images it cannot set DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR (think of the case
where we want to run our tests).
By adding support for DIB_$DISTRO_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR this problem is
resolved.

mkfs's arguments are
mkfs [options] [-t type] [fs-options] device [size]
So it seems our MKFS_OPTS are really supposed to be fs-options, rather
than options to mkfs itself.
Why didn't we notice? It's quite a trap -- mkfs.ext2 has a "-t"
option, so when we're calling
$ mkfs -i 4096 ... -t ext4 ...
We actually just fall-back to the default from the mkfs wrapper which
is mkfs.ext2 which works! But when you make that, say, xfs, we're not
calling the right wrapper at all.
Also update documentation
