The python3 package actually contains some core modules (like the xml
one) which are not present in the python3-base on which is pulled by
the python3-devel package. As such, it's best to have it installed
similar to python-xml for python2.

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.

The image download tests have long been too unreliable for the gate.
We need to cache the base images similar to how devstack caches it's
testing images. Let's move them to non-voting jobs for the time
being.
This means that the gate jobs are now all based on "-minimal" and are
using infra mirrors. Unfortunately, there is still some unreliability
because we currently have issues with infra mirrors being very slow
after AFS updates, leading to job timeouts. But we're on the right
path...
Also, I noticed we don't have tests of the "ubuntu" image-download
based tests, which were tacitly being tested by apt-sources before we
moved that to -minimal. Add simple tests for these.

I'm uncertain as to why this is using the "fedora" element for testing

has shown to be unreliable. An easy thing to do is to switch it to

the gate.

fedora/centos-minimal don't obey DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR currently. I

This introduces setup-gate-mirrors.sh which is intended to setup

on each CI node.

This adds "openstack-ci-mirrors" element which performs various
settings to get builds using local mirrors. As a first step, we
convert ubuntu-minimal jobs
The main trick is that since infra mirrors are created with rerepo
they are not signed (they are recreated, not cloned, and not signing
is seen as a feature in that it deters external use). So we need to
instruct debootstrap to ignore signing and also turn it off for
in-chroot apt. Other than that, the existing DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR
works to redirect installs.
Remove "restricted" as it's not mirrored, and I don't think we want it
in here by default.
(I think DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR is a bit of an anti-pattern, because
it leaves the mirrors in the final image -- just because you use them
to build, doesn't mean you want them at runtime). But we don't need
to fix that now, and we don't use any created images.)
This pauses fedora testing until the next change, which moves to using
local mirrors for testing on fedora/centos

We introduced the "settle" in
I90103b59357edebbac7a641e8980cb282d37561b thinking that maybe kpartx
had not finished writing the partition. This probably wasn't a bad
first assumption, since we used to have this -- but is seems
insufficient.
The other failiure here seems to be if kpartx hasn't actually seen the
updated partition table in the image, so it has correctly (in it's
mind) not mounted the partition.
Looking at strace of fdisk run manually on a loopback, it will do a
fsync on the raw device after writing and then a global sync as it
exits.
This replicates this; we flush and fsync in mbr.py in the exit handler
after writing the partition, before closing the file (i've updated one
of the unit tests to double-check the call). In the partitioning.py
caller we execute a sync call too.
Since it does seem unlikely the "-s" option of kpartx is not working,
I've removed the udev settle work-around too.

Partial-Bug: #1698337
Debian Stretch released as stable recently, and the init system is
less tightly specified in the base dependencies (for some info, see
[1]). It seems, probably unintentionally, that in the previous
release systemd-sysv was brought in by debootstrap, but that is no
longer happening.
Add systemd as an early dependency of debian-minimal.
Remove the package-installs.yaml as that happens too late (other
things need to know the init system to write out service files, etc
and probe for systemd utils before package-installs). As mentioned, I
do not believe the "only install systemd on testing" idea was actually
working here, because it was being brought in during the initial
debootstrap.

This adds a devstack-inspired output filter to standardise
timestamping.
Currently, python tools timestamp always (timestamp setup in
logging_config.py) but all the surrounding bash does not.
We have extra timestamps added in run_functests.sh for our own
purposes to get the bash timestamps; but this ends up giving us
double-timestamps for the python bits. Additionally, callers such as
nodepool capture our output and put their own timestamps on it, and
again have the double-timestamps.
This uses a lightly modified outfilter.py from devstack to standardise
this.
All output is run through this filter, which will timestamp it. I
have removed the places where we double-timestamp -- logging_config.py
and the prefix in dib-run-parts.
An env option is added to turn timestamps off completely (does not
seem worth taking up a command-line option for). For callers like
nodepool, they can set this and will just have their own timestamps as
they collect the lines.
Since all logging is going through outfilter, it's easy to add a
--logfile option. I think this will be quite handy; personally I'm
always redirecting dib runs to files for debugging.
I've also added a "quiet" option. I think this could be useful in
run_tests.sh if we were to start logging the output of each test to
individual files. This would be much easier to deal with than the
very large log files we get (especially if we wanted to turn on
parallel running...)

Using the newly exposed variables from the prior change, install the
ppc bootloader to the boot partition, not the underlying loopback
device.
Change-Id: I0918e8df8797d6dbabf7af618989ab7f79ee9580
Currently we only export "image-block-device" which is the loopback
device (/dev/loopX) for the underlying image. This is the device we
install grub to (from inside the chroot ...)
This is ok for x86, but is insufficient for some platforms like PPC
which have a separate boot partition. They do not want to install to
the loop device, but do things like dd special ELF files into special
boot partitions.
The first problem seems to be that in level1/partitioning.py we have a
whole bunch of different paths that either call partprobe on the loop
device, or kpartx. We have _all_part_devices_exist() that gates the
kpartx for unknown reasons. We have detach_loopback() that does not
seem to remove losetup created devices. I don't think this does
cleanup if it uses kpartx correctly. It is extremley unclear what's
going to be mapped where.
This moves to us *only* using kpartx to map the partitions of the loop
device. We will *not* call partprobe and create the /dev/loopXpN
devices and will only have the devicemapper nodes kpartx creates.
This seems to be best. Cleanup happens inside partitioning.py.
practice. Deeper thinking about this, and more cleanup of the
variables will be welcome.
This adds "image-block-devices" (note the extra "s") which exports all
the block devices with name and path. This is in a string format that
can be eval'd to an array (you can't export arrays).
This is then used in a follow-on
(I0918e8df8797d6dbabf7af618989ab7f79ee9580) to pick the right
partition on PPC.

Currently we pass a reference to a global "rollback" list to create()
to keep rollback functions. Other nodes don't need to know about
global rollback state, and by passing by reference we're giving them
the chance to mess it up for everyone else.
Add a "add_rollback()" function in NodeBase for create() calls to
register rollback calls within themselves. As they hit rollback
points they can add a new entry. lambda v arguments is much of a
muchness -- but this is similar to the standard atexit() call so with
go with that pattern. A new "rollback()" call is added that the
driver will invoke on each node as it works its way backwards in case
of failure.
On error, nodes will have rollback() called in reverse order (which
then calls registered rollbacks in reverse order).
A unit test is added to test rollback behaviour

Keep track of the mount-point ordering in a state variable, rather
than a global. This path is tested by existing unit tests.
Note a prior change inserted the MountNode objects directly into a
list in self.state, which makes sorting quite easy as it can just
implement __lt__. Unfortunately we still json dump the state, and
thus we can't have aribtrary objects in it (future work may be to
check keys inserted into the status object...). So we have to do a
bit of wrangling with tuple lists and comparision functions here, but
it's not too bad.

With I468dbf5134947629f125504513703d6f2cdace59 each node has a
reference to the global state object. This means it gets pickled into
the node-list, which is loaded for later calls. There is no need to
reload the state.json it and pass it for later cmd_* calls, as the
nodes can see it via the unpickled self.state
Change-Id: I9e2f8910f17599d92ee33e7df8e36d8ed4d44575
Making the global state reference a defined part of the node makes
some parts of the block device processing easier and removes the need
for other global values.
The state is passed to PluginNodeBase.__init__() and expected to be
passed into all nodes as they are created. NodeBase.__init__() is
updated with the new paramater 'state'.
The parameter is removed from the create() call as nodes can simply
reference it at any point as "self.state".
This is similar to 1cdc8b20373c5d582ea928cfd7334469ff36dbce, except it
is based on I68840594a34af28d41d9522addcfd830bd203b97 which loads the
node-list from pickled state for later cmd_* calls. Thus we only
build the state *once*, at cmd_create() time as we build the node
list.
Change-Id: I468dbf5134947629f125504513703d6f2cdace59
Currently the later cmd_* calls -- umount, cleanup, delete -- all
recreate the node graph by parsing the config file using
create_graph()
There is some need, however, to have a sense of global state when
building the node list. The problem is, this is a one time operation
-- we do not want to rebuild that state for these later calls (see the
"loaded" checks in proposed
Ic3b805f9258128d5233b21ff25579c03487c7fcc).
An insight here seems to be that these cmd_* calls do not actually
want to re-parse the configuration file and rebuild the node list;
they just want to walk the node list in reverse with the state as
provided after cmd_create().
So, rather than re-creating the node list, we might as well just
pickle it, save it to disk along side the state dictionary dump and
reload it for cmd_*.
After this, I think we can safely have PluginBase.__init__() be passed
the state. We will now know that this will only be called once,
during initial creation.

You can't pickle a static method reference which complicates being
able to save the node graph when the "rollback" call-back wants to
hold references to these functions. The outer module (localoop.py) is
small anyway, so from an organisation point of view the difference is
minimal. Since these are really only called with parameters from the
containing class, they could be class methods with no parameters, at
the small expense of having to fiddle the mbr test-case a bit.

test_blockdevice_mbr.py is moved alongside the other tests. It is
modified slightly to use the standard base class and remove a lot of
repeated test setup; a fixture is used for the tempdir (so it doesn't
have to be torn-down, and is removed properly on error) and the partx
args are moved into the setUp() so each test doesn't have to create
it. No functional change. renamed test_mbr.py for shortness.
test_blockdevice_utils.py is merged with existing test_utils.py. No
change to the tests.
test_blockdevice.py is removed. It isn't doing anything currently; to

Currently we keep a global list of mount-points defined in the
configuration and automatically setup dependencies between mount nodes
based on their global "mount order" (i.e. higher directories mount
first).
The current method for achieving this is roughly to add the mount
points to a dictionary indexed my mount-point, then at "get_edge()"
call build the sorted list ... unless it has already been built
because this gets called for every node.
It seems much simpler to simply keep a sorted list of the
MountPointNode objects as we add them. We don't need to implement a
sorting algorithm then, we can just use sort() and implement __lt__
for the nodes.
I believe the existing mount-order unit testing is sufficient; I'm
struggling to find a valid configuration where the mount-order is
*not* correctly specified in the configuration graph.

A couple of things going on, but I think it makes sense to do them
atomically.
The NodeBase.create() argument "results" is the global state
dictionary that will be saved to "state.json", and re-loaded in later
phases and passed to them as the argument "state". So for
consistency, call this argument "state" (this fits with the change out
to start building the state dictionary earlier in the
PluginBase.__init__() calls).
Since the "state" is a pretty important part of how everything works,
move it into a separate object. This is treated as essentially a
singleton. It bundles it nicely together for some added
documentation [1].
We move instantiation of this object out of the generic
BlockDevice.__init__() call and into the actual cmd_* drivers. This
is because there's two distinct instantiation operations -- creating a
new state (during cmd_create) and loading an existing state (other
cmd_*). This is also safer -- since we know the cmd_* arguments are
looking for an existing state.json, we will fail if it somehow goes
missing.
To more fully unit test this, some testing plugins and new
entry-points are added. These add known state values which we check
for. These should be a good basis for further tests.
[1] as noted, we could probably do some fun things in the future like
make this implement a dictionary and have some saftey features like
r/o keys.

get_name() : return the unique name of this node
get_nodes() : return a list of nodes for insertion into the graph.
Usually this is just "self". Some special things like partitioning
add extra nodes at this point, however.
get_edges() : return a tuple of two lists; edges_from and edges_to
As you would expect the first is a list of node names that points to
us, and the second is a list of node names we point to. Usually
this is only populated as ([self.base],[]) -- i.e. our "base" node
points to us. Some plugins, such as mounting, create links both to
and from themselves, however.
Plugins have been updated, some test cases added (error cases
specifically)

This moves to a more generic config parser that doesn't have plugins
parsing part of the tree.
I understand why it ended up that way; we have "partitions" key which
has special semantics compared to others keys and there was a desire
to keep it isolated from core tree->graph code. But this isn't really
isolated; you have to reverse-engineer several module-crossing
boundaries, extras classes and repetitive recursive functions.
Ultimately, plugins should have access to the node graph, but not
participate in configuration parsing. This way we ensure that plugins
can't invent new methods of configuration parsing.
Note: unit tests produce the same tree -> graph conversion as the old
method. i.e. this is not intended to have a functional change.

This is a follow-on to 57ef187632.
There's two things going on here; DIB_MANIFEST_IMAGE_DIR is *outside*
the chroot on the build host. We copy the files here for posterity, I
guess. MANIFEST_IMAGE_PATH is *inside* the chroot and are the files
we want to ensure are locked to root.
The prior change modified the permissions on DIB_MANIFEST_IMAGE_DIR.
So the first time you build, it works -- then the second time,
assuming you're using the same output filename, it hits the root-owned
manifest directories and causes a build failure.
I have built with this and checked that the manifest files in the
image are locked to root:

"log and throw" is arguably an anti-pattern; the error message either

It seems that the redhat nodepool job is quite reliably geting a
"floating point" error during centos image build. This happens after
03-yum-cleanup which is pruning the locales. This might be a
red-herring, since the logs are full of
/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (C.UTF-8)
I think in our recent de-puppetisation of hosts, something might have
changed that is setting LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 for the jenkins user, at least
on Ubuntu. This is a problem for centos, as it doesn't have C.UTF-8
locale. I then think using the invalid locale is what leads the the
floating-point error when doing some maths in dib-run-parts to
calculate runtimes.
We are currently overriding LANG, but we really want LC_ALL to ensure
this applies globally.

Recent changes in project-config have shown that we leave the system
in an inconsistent state when installing from source. On fedora, we
will have installed the python2 packages, but then used $DIB_PYTHON to
install python3 pip from source!
This tries to clarify the situation. As described in the document,
with package installs, we just install the $DIB_PYTHON packaged
versions.
Source installs want to take over the global namespace. This is the
price you pay for running the latest versions outside package managers
:) The only sane thing seems to be for us to normalise python2 &
python3 versions of pip, setuptools and virtualenv and then hacking
things such that "/usr/bin/pip" and "/usr/bin/virtalenv" remain
defaulted to python2 versions.

The current output for package-installs-v2 is inscrutable [1]
The problem starts with process_output() which is not capturing
stderr. This means that any stderr output is dislocated from any
stdout output around it. This is *really* confusing as you get a
bunch of seemingly meaningless stderr output from any calls before you
see any stdout (e.g. in [1] you can see random yum error output that
should have been with the yum call)). The simplest thing to do is to
redirect stderr to stdout which keeps everything in sync.
This causes a slight problem, however, because pkg-map outputs both
status information and errors on stderr. To work around this but
maintain compatibility, we add a "--prefix" argument that prepends
mapped packages from pkg-map with a value we can match on. The
existing status/debug output from pkg-map is low-value; modify the
call so that it will be traced only at higher debug levels (e.g. -x
-x).
The current loop is also calling pkg-map for every package in every
element (this is why in [1] the same message is repeated over and
over). This is unnecessary; it only needs to pkg-map once for each
element, giving the package list as the arguments. Create package
lists by element and pass those to pkg-map.
As a cleanup, there is no point in printing e.output if the
process_output fails for the install because we are already tracing
it; i.e. the output, even for failures, is already in the logs.
Printing it again just duplicates the output.
[2] is an extract showing what I feel is a much more understandable
log output for a fairly complex install.

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

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).

dib-run-parts is available in the path is instack. I have proposed

We somewhat discussed skipping qcow2 generation previously in
I9372e195913798a851c96e62eee89029e067baa1. As recent issues with PPC
testing have shown, we are not actually testing the "vm" element and
hence the bootloader path in the functional tests.
I don't think we need to test this on every element; it overlaps
somewhat with the testing done by the nodepool jobs which build full
images and boot them. I also didn't want to introduce a separate run
for this. Thus it seems valuable to at least have one element
enhanced to do this installation and conversion in our default tests
for basic sanity.
This disables qcow generation by default, as per the other change, but
allows an element to drop a file that will override the output
formats. The Xenial element is modified to produce a qcow2 using
this, and also introduces a dependency on the "vm" element so it tries
to install the bootloader.
We now exit if the .qcow2 fails to build as well.

99-squash-package-install in the package-installs element does not
know which python environments the requirements were installed into.
This can cause it to select the wrong python to run the
package-installs-squash script.

execfile() has gone in python3, and if you google various
stackoverflow results, python-dev mailing list threads and other
projects it seems runpy is considered one of the better solutions.
This should be py2.7 safe too.

On Debian Jessie and Debian Stretch systemctl is in /bin.
If the package systemd-sysv is not installed the script
dib-init-system did not find the init system.
This patch fixes the problem: it also looks in /bin
for systemctl and if found decides for systemd.

The architecture-emulation-binaries element does for a limited number
of architectures on Ubuntu exactly the same as `qemu-debootstrap`.
`qemu-debootstrap` comes in the qemu-user-static package that is
anyhow used when cross-building an image.
This patch replaces the complete architecture-emulation-binaries
element with a call to qemu-debootstrap.

Depending on the types of deployment (security, nfv...) some extra
kernel flags are needed on the images. This change exposes the
DIB_BOOTLOADER_DEFAULT_CMDLINE parameter, defaulting to the
existing 'nofb nomodeset vga=normal', that will allow to modify
these boot params.

The order of the partitions is important, it needs to be preserved.
If using a simple dict, this is not happening. As a consequence,
checks like 'primary partition being first' are failing because the
dictionary sorts the partitions randomly.
Switched to OrderedDict solved the problem, as it preserves the
ordering it gets from the yaml blob.

Now that the main partitioning refactor patch is merged, there is
a small relict of handling partitions still in the disk-image-create
main.
This patch moves the functionality from disk-image-create to the
block-device/partitioning module: it is mostly a rewrite of the
original bash code in python.

Looks that the special handling for Ubuntu is not needed any longer
(its a pity that there are no detailed comments...).
The grub2 element is a second implementation of the bootstrap element
- but because there are some features that come only here, e.g. efi
boot, it should be working as long as this is not implemented in the
bootloader element.

Closes-Bug: #1627402
Currently there is no description of dependencies in the generated
documentation of the elements: therefore a user of an element does not
know which other elements are automatically included and e.g. which
configuration options are available. In addition there are some
copy&pastes of parts of the README.rst scattered thought different
Ubuntu and Debian specific elements.
This patch adds a semi-automatic generation of dependency information
of all elements. Nevertheless these are not automatically included.
The author of the element's README.rst can decide if and where the
dependency information should appear and can use the descriptor
.. element_deps::
for this.
This patch adds the dependency information for some Debian and
Ubuntu patches - and creates the base for later removing the
duplicated parts.
A call is added to element_dependencies._find_all_elements() to
populate reverse dependencies for Element objects.
(This is a reworking of I31d2b6050b6c46fefe37378698e9a330025db430 for
the feature/v2 branch)

In error scenarios there might be no loadable state available.
This patch adds some robustness handling this scenarios
by checking the result and possible bailing out.

With the old configuration structure it was only possible
to use one image and one partition layout. The new
block-device configuration uses a list at top level;
therefore it is possible to use multiple instances
of each element type.

When merging feature/v2 we have re-enabled the centos-minimal test
which has a blank line in the element-deps. The modified get_elements
functions added in If97bcd21e45de1b5ed91023fdc441a4617051a6b were not
handling this.
Fixing this, we can extract this into some common code for
element-deps and element-provides.
Also, I noticed while debugging that the element list is an iterator
from reverse(), so printing it doesn't help. Fix up the debug output.

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.
