- adds a note regarding an error when building focal ubuntu-minimal
images on operating systems with older versions of debootstrap
- adds a reference to where the DIB_RELEASE variable definition can be
found
Closes-Bug: #1941831

* Add "DIB_UBUNTU_MIRROR_DISTS":
Default: ``updates,security,backports``
Notes: For some deployment, is may be required
to disable backport|update|etc packages
integration.

This patch adds a new environment variable to the ubuntu-minimal
element called DIB_UBUNTU_KERNEL that allows you to specify the kernel
meta package that will be using to install the kernel inside the image.
It supports "linux-image-generic" (The default), "linux-image-kvm", and
"linux-image-virtual".
This allows building images that are smaller in size (~200MB smaller
qcow2) that have only the kernel modules necessary for virtual
machines.

Like we did in https://review.openstack.org/475206 we need to install
systemd sooner because of the new world order of containers.

This patch removes three nearly-copies of debootstrap documentation
and fixes some documentation aspects.

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)

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__.
