The base URL of EPEL repository installed by the epel-release package in
CentOS 8 at least now defaults to https.
The error seen when building an CentOS 8 image was:
"Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: epel"
This patch fixes it so that it will always match regardless of being
http or https.

A few places we either assume centos uses "yum" directly, or have
switching based on the distro type.
In both cases, we can use ${YUM} directly to avoid ambiguity

It looks like epel-release switch from "mirrorlist" to "metalink"
(around release 7-10 Jun 2017 according to [1]). Update our rewrite
matching to handle this "metalink" as well.
Add epel element to the centos7 (image-based) build for testing too
[1] https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=978473
Add epel element so it's tested during the centos7 functional test.

We no longer install wget / yum-utils for centos-minimal, this fixes
that.

The release of pip10 has shown up a few issues here
Firstly, pip10 now refuses to overwrite distutils installed packages,
which includes "python-virtualenv" on centos. History has shown us
that we want the packages installed and overwritten, to avoid the
packages coming back and messing things up.
Pre-install all the packages, then list the files in the packages with
"rpm" directly and remove them. This way pip is happy to install.
We need to take better account of the package names for this; on
Fedora things have switch to "python2-virtualenv" instead of
"python-virtualenv" and we can't use an alias to list the package
contents.
This also highlighted that python2-pip is in EPEL for centos, so
enable that when we install it. Make the epel element a no-op for non
centos/rhe distros.
There is a related change in recent fedora that python3 now installs
binaries into /usr/local/bin. There are commented swizzles in here to
ensure we retain the status quo of "pip" and "virtualenv" both being
python2 based, with the python3 versions being called explicitly
"pip3" and "virtualenv3" respectively.

When "epel" element is used during a build process
with "rhel7" distribution, the build failed
because the "epel-release-7*" package cannot be
installed.
The reason is because the URL is not correct, it
should be:
URL=$BASE_URL/$RELEASE/x86_64/Packages/e/

Closes-Bug: #1735547
Several people have popped up in IRC recently with failures in these
elements. Without Python 2.7 available in the image they are
unsupported (OpenStack hasn't supported it for a long time). Remove
these to avoid further confusion.
The centos/centos7 DISTRO split that has happened with centos-minimal
is unfortunate but I don't think it helps to rename centos7/rhel7 ATM.
To summarise; DISTRO=centos7 means image based build,
DISTRO=centos && DIB_RELEASE=7 means the minimal build.
In the future, I think it is important that the minimal builds and
image builds set the same DISTRO. This reflects that "upper" layers
shouldn't care about the exact building of the lower layers. I see
CentOS 8 going one of two ways
1) the changes are so significant, we start separate centos8 /
centos8-minimal elements. They both set DISTRO=centos8 (and
DIB_RELEASE to point-release maybe?). This means we have to update
all "if DISTRO == centos || DISTRO == centos7" branches to also check
for "centos8". Evenually (!) "centos" goes away for versioned DISTRO
only
2) we restore centos element with DISTRO=centos and DIB_RELEASE=8, and
centos-minimal remains the same. This means we have to audit all "if
DISTRO == centos" calls to make sure they're appropriate for version 8
(stick a "&& DIB_RELEASE=7" on them all basically).
I'm not sure we can fully decide until we start to see excatly how the
distro switching/matching bits look, but (2) is consistent with Ubuntu
and probably the preferred solution.
Some "rhel" parts have been cleaned up. More could be done in
rhel-common, but given our lack of coverage of that I'd prefer to
leave it for now.

With 8e822768f9 we added the ability to
disable the EPEL repository, however we need yum-utils to use
yum-config-manager.

Add DIB_EPEL_DISABLED flag that allows installation of the EPEL repo,
but to have it disabled by default. This will help when you have
unavoidable EPEL dependencies, but want to make sure you only pull
specific things in with "--enablerepo" calls when installing those
packages.

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__.
