The vhdutil utility is completely dead; the whole subsystem it relies
on was removed with [1] so it's not even vaguely possible to keep it
up-to-date.
I took the .raw images on a nb and used the qemu-img there (so Xenial)
and generated some VPC images; uploaded them to rackspace and the all
seemed to boot fine. If there was a problem, maybe it's been fixed on
either the qemu or RAX side in the previous few years.
Thus swith to qemu-img to generate the vhd images too.

Add a new environment variable $DIB_GZIP_BIN allowing builders to
specify a different gzip (such as pigz) to be used when compressing
tgz images.

This is only one line, but it takes a lot to untangle ... basically
the current "correct" path is:
---
mk_build_dir()
-> sets trap trap_cleanup EXIT
... stuff ..
mount_proc_dev_sys
-> mounts $TMP_MOUNT_PATH/<proc,dev.sysfs>
pre-finalise.d
finalise.d
unmount_image $TMP_BUILD_DIR/mnt # nb == $TMP_MOUNT_PATH
-> unmount_dir()
-> recursive unmount everything inside TMP_MOUNT_PATH
TMP_IMAGE_PATH=$(dib-block-device getval image-path)
export TMP_IMAGE_PATH
dib-block-device umount
dib-block-device cleanup
... actually cleanup directories ...
---
Our current failure exit trap does:
---
dib-block-device umount
unmount_image
...
---
Note this is the *opposite* of what is done in the correct exit path.
In the failure case, if a script fails in the finalise stages it leads
to /proc, /sys, /dev etc. still being mounted inside the image; the
"dib-block-device umount" call doesn't know anything about these
mounts and tries to unmount the parent directory, and we get a hard
failure with a busy mount, and all the mounts are subsequently leaked.
Note that "unmount_dir", which is ultimately called by
"unmount_image", already knows to skip those mounts that
"dib-block-device umount" manages (this is the DIB_MOUNTPOINTS list).
This is further evidence it should be called *before* the
dib-block-device umount.

Some minor things after looking at these parts.
The dib-run-parts element doesn't do any of the copying any more, so
these comments are wrong.
The reason for the multiple mounts in the bind mount was non-obvious
to modern eyes (as util-linux has handled this for some time).

The behavior of test -e and [[ -e against broken symlinks is to fail
even if the symlink exists. However we want to test if the link exists
or if there is a file in that location. Therefore switch from test -e to
test -L and test -f to check if the file or link exists regardless of
link target validity.

systemd-resolved has a new behaviour in bionic, in that if there is no
/etc/resolv.conf file when it installs, it assumes it is a fresh
system and makes /etc/resolf.conf a symlink into its compatability
files.
dib ends up saving & restoring whatever /etc/resolv.conf we have after
the inital chroot creation, which may not be what we want -- in the
above case it restores the system-resolved symlink. For
openstack-infra, we use unbound and want simply "127.0.0.1" in a
/etc/resolv.conf file [1].
Formalise the ability to save specific contents into the final image.
Add documentation, and a note in the code that it's an external
interface.
I would have preferred to namespace the .ORIG file with DIB_ or
similar, but this unofficial interface has already escaped into the
wild. Leave it as is for simplicity.
[1] Note that systemd-resolved will obey /etc/resolv.conf as you would
expect, if file exists.

The call to fstrim in disk-image-create is currently useless, because
at the time this is called, the file systems were already umounted by
the block device layer.
The current implementation of the block-device mount plugin does not
call fstrim at all: resulting in larger image sizes.
This patch removes the useless fstrim call from the disk-image-create
script and moves this into the block-device mount.py.
The resulting image might be much smaller. Example: Ubuntu Xenial
with some elements; once with and once without this patch:
-rw-r--r-- 1 dib dib 475661824 Sep 16 06:43 ubuntu-xenial-without-fstrim.qcow2
-rw-r--r-- 1 dib dib 364249088 Sep 16 09:30 ubuntu-xenial-with-fstrim.qcow2

We replace the base resolv.conf with an "outside" copy so that
resolving works when we're in the chroot.
Installing resolvconf package modifies the in-chroot resolv.conf to a
symlink (to /var/run) which it wants maintained in the final image.
We have the existing "immutable" check for a created resolv.conf file,
but no eqivalent for a symlink.
This adds a check to see if the resolv.conf is a symlink and leave it
alone if it is, assuming it has been re-created in the chroot.
I have tested this with ubuntu-minimal+resolvconf with
dhcp-all-interfaces and the system seems to work with resolvconf
working correctly.

Move argument parsing to subparsers, rather than positional arguments.
This better reflects the tool's role as a driver and allows

If the path is missing, unmount_dir currently exits with an error which
unintentionally aborts cleanup efforts early. This change makes
unmount_dir idempotent by exiting successfully if a directory doesn't
exist.

The dib-run-parts element was copying our internal version of
dib-run-parts into /usr/local/bin to be used running scripts inside
the target chroot. However, it never cleaned up after itself. This
means all images were left with an unmanaged local install of
dib-run-parts.
This copies dib-run-parts into the hooks directory of the chroot and
runs it from there. It is cleaned up automatically on the exit path.
The dib-run-parts element is no longer required and it has been
removed from all dependencies. It is left with a deprecation notice
in the README. For compatability we convert it to simply install
dib-utils.
Codesearch shows no users depending on this unintentional implicit
install. Note os-refresh-config depends on dib-utils and thus will
have an explicitly installed version.

It was an oversight during v2 development for dib to start providing
dib-run-parts. The intention was for dib to use a vendored
dib-run-parts directly from $_LIB and have no dependencies on
dib-utils at all. By exporting dib-run-parts, we created an
unintentional conflict with the dib-utils package which provides the
same script.
Tools that depend on dib-utils are unaffected by this
(os-refresh-config).
The only tool that installs diskimage-builder and then assumes
dib-run-parts is available in the path is instack. I have proposed
Ibfe972208df40fa092b11b5419043524c903f1b4 to modify that to use our
internal version.

During the creation of a disk image (e.g. for a VM), there is the need
to create, setup, configure and afterwards detach some kind of storage
where the newly installed OS can be copied to or directly installed
in.
This patch implements partitioning handling.

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__.
