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__.

Export FS_TYPE from img-defaults and use it to remove hard-coded
defaults in the debootstrap mounting. Also, cleanup the suse element
as it should have access to the exported variable.

Currently when these files are opened your editor doesn't know what to
do with them. Add #!/bin/bash to library functions so that editors,
diff-tools, etc can do syntax highlighting.
There are other ways to skin this cat, such as renaming to ".sh",
adding -* style editor flags, etc. We had this discussion in DevStack
too, and came to the conclusion the simplest thing that works for
everyone is to just put the #! at the top.

Some elements (such as the manifests element) want to use these
variables. We currently do not consistently export them (IMAGE_NAME is
only exported if you actually specify a name).

Commit c7d80dd (Cleanup mount points automatically) removed the unmount
of $TMP_MOUNT_PATH/tmp/ccache in run_d_in_target() and moved the
"rm /tmp/ccache" to elements/base/finalise.d/02-remove-ccache. There
are two problems with this:
1) Not unmounting at the end of run_d_in_target() results in tmp/ccache
being bind mounted muliple times on top of itself (three times, if you
just run `disk-image-create base`). It is eventually unmounted, but
somehow the auto unmount code is confused, and tries to unmount it
one more time than it was mounted, which results in an error like
"umount: /tmp/image.THQkZxQa/mnt/tmp/ccache: not mounted".
This doesn't actually break anything, but it's a little messy.
2) "rm /tmp/ccache" in elements/base/finalise.d/02-remove-ccache never
succeeds in removing /tmp/ccache, because that hook is invoked by
run_d_in_target(), *while* /tmp/ccache is mounted.
This present commit solves the above by moving the ccache setup glue out
of img-functions and into the base element's root.d. This has the
following implications:
1) lib/img-functions is a little cleaner.
2) /tmp/ccache is available in the chroot during the root, extra-data,
pre-install, install and post-install stages. It is not available
during block-device, finalise and cleanup stages as it will have been
automatically unmounted by then.
3) /tmp/ccache won't be setup if you're building an image that doesn't
include the base element.

Many python extensions are built from source each time an image is
built. Repeating these is wasteful, so ccache is employed to eliminate
that waste. A cache dir outside the chroot is used to speed up
subsequent image builds.

The recent change to use loopdev instead of nbd stopped
honoring the DIB_IMAGE_SIZE setting.
This change adds it back, by resizing the image to
DIB_IMAGE_SIZE GB, if specified. If unspecified, it resizes
the image to (actual usage + 20%), as it did before this change.

For machines with low RAM (or no access to /proc/meminfo) the builder
will still run, but will just build inside the filesystem that is
hosting /tmp. This will result in a slower build (especially if there
are a lot of .deb packages installed).

If we are using uname to collect the name of the architecture, we need
to filter its output to make it consistent with dpkg. This is now
happening in the right place to avoid a spurious warning on i386 builds.

Instead of blindly calling dpkg, we will now perform an appropriate test
and fall back on uname with some subsequent massaging of uname's output
on amd64 and ARM build hosts.

Using ELEMENTS_DIR env variable, you can specify multiple dirs containint your elements.
It must be a ":" separated elements list.
When an element is seen in one of those lists, it will be chosen and will continue with the next element.
