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__.

Icf8a075224833fcfbbe2128e8802ff41c39f3c09 looked rather ugly, and it's
easy for us to expand the processing done in the arch list.
Change "arch" to a comma-separated list of architectures that should
match for install.
Add a "not-arch" list which will exclude the package from installation
on those architectures. (An aside -- I considered making it just he
one list with foo,!bar,moo but ! has special meaning in YAML, so it's
easier to have two lists).
$ ARCH=ppc64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout | grep dmidecode
$ ARCH=ppc64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout | grep lshw
"lshw",
$ ARCH=amd64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout | grep lshw
$ ARCH=amd64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout | grep dmidecode
"dmidecode",

In some cases, like linux-image-* on debian, we need to only install
packages for a specific target architecture.

Previously, this code was not checking for the proper environment
variable for an element's installtype. There was a line replacing '-'
with '_' as is required, but that value was not actually used when
searching for the environment variable.

Instead of doing the work in the image of parsing through the element's
package-install declarations, we can squash it on hostside, where we
have both YAML and JSON available to us, and then emit a single
pre-processed file into the target to be used later.
