s390x architecture uses zipl as bootloader. When used in combination
with the vm element it replaces the existing bootloader element.
It's mandatory for s390x vm images.
Use cases
---------
* Allow users to create s390x images that run on nova with s390x
libvirt/kvm backend
* Building nodepool images for s390x third party CI
Supported Distros
-----------------
The following listing shows all Distros that officially support
s390x and how those Distros are supported in DIB with this patch.
* SLES - not supported (SLES is not supported in DIB)
* RHEL - not suppoprted (RHEL is not supported as KVM guest on s390x,
therefore there's no rhel7 qcow image for s390x available
like it is for other archictectures)
* Ubuntu - supported
Ubuntu images can for example be built using the following commands:
$ disk-image-create ubuntu-minimal zipl vm
$ disk-image-create ubuntu-minimal zipl
$ disk-image-create ubuntu zipl vm
Testing
-------
Cross architecture building of s390x images is not supported so far.
The plan is to set up a ThirdParty CI that builds the image for s390x and
provides the logs.

Commit cebfcf85f9 ("Use -t devpts for
/dev/pts mounts") switched from using '--bind' to '-t devpts' for
mounting the /dev/pts virtual filesystem. However, mounting devpts to
another location also affects the host's /dev/pts mountpoint. Since we
are now mounting devpts without options we end up with the following one
on openSUSE
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000)
instead of the one we want
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
The missing gid=5 options results to boot problems for virtual machines
So in order to fix that, we need to use the existing devpts options for
/dev/pts so we don't lose them in the new mount.

In a couple of places we use flock for critical sections, but we leave
lockfiles around in various locations which can be confusing.
Introduce DIB_LOCKFILES global (under ~/.cache/dib/lockfiles) and
write lockfiles in there.
Fix up removal of the lockfile in the yum path; we just want to make
sure we cleanup the .rpmmacros file, but we don't need to remove the
lockfile as well.

Currently a bind is used when mounting /dev/pts in chroot.
This leads to problems - especially when running DIB in parallel:
It was observed that the /dev/pts mount vanishes from the host
system.
This patch uses '-t devpts' - as it is done for /sys and /proc -
for handling /dev/pts.

On ubuntu we detect that in python3 we need to install
python3-virtualenv, but append this to the packages to install rather
than replace python-virtualenv which results in both being installed
(and therefore grabbing python2).

This patch removes the unneeded dd calls in the lvm block device
plugin.
After removing the underlying block device, there is the need to call
'pvscan --cache'. This is done by a dedicated LVM cleanup node which
is cleaned up after the the underlying block device.

following changes.
* change from backtrack=99 to complete-graph as a more correct flag
* make python version selection more in line with what gentoo supports
* set up python before stuff gets pip installed
* ensure we have the proper pip so we can install pip packages as root
* ensure we have the proper use flags for the disk formatting changes
* set DIB_RELEASE like other distros
* fix openssh-server element for gentoo

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

Adding constraints support to libraries is slightly more complex than
services as the libraries themselves are listed in upper-constraints.txt
which leads to errors that you can't install a specific version and a
constrained version.
This change adds constraints support by also adding a helper script to
edit the constraints to remove diskimage-builder.

This reverts commit a47ff0dd4a.
Since this merged, a global-requirements pin to keep networkx <2.0 has
also merged. The plan is:
1. revert our 2.0 support and
1a. take the <2.0 pin from global requirements
2. figure out how to use constraints properly in our testing
3. restore this, with a depends-on for a 2.0 bump in requirements
(which will self-test, see 3.)
4. when other projects are ready for a global 2.0 bump, merge
in a controlled fashion
This reverts the 2.0 support, and adds the pin for networkx <2.0

Networkx 2.0 released recently. The main difference for us is that

A small update was made to 4.4.0-96.119 that dropped the
initramfs-tools dependency from the kernel [1]. This had the
unfortunate affect of removing the initramfs from ubuntu-minimal and
making it unbootable, since we specify the root device via LABEL=.
Add the package explicitly alongside the kernel.
Also, small fix to pass unit tests

We intended to do an in-place sort of the mount-point list, but
sorted() returns a new list that wasn't captured. Move to the .sort()
function.
It seems the existing unit-test missed this. Add a new test taken
from the bug which does exhibit a sorting issue. Also added a
unit-test of just the comparitor for sanity.

When using combined with rhel7 image, the unregister of repos

As dracut-regenerate may need to install extra packages for it,

to pull the packages from.
