fedora-minimal fails to build on Ubuntu Trusty due do being unable to
find the initrd (see Id4c04d7ae20068643df34d2fa31068e8a917a52d).
This is a rather obscure problem that comes from the intersection of
several things.
The first thing to note is that the post-install scripts of the
kernel-core package use kernel-install [1]. For whatever reason, this
installs the kernel to /boot/MACHINE-ID/KERNEL-VERSION
MACHINE-ID comes from /etc/machine-id; a UUID that should have been
created by the systemd post-inst scripts with systemd-machine-id-setup
[2].
The chroot environment provided for root.d elements has no kernel
file-systems like /proc or /dev mounted. This is where differences in
the base-system come into play -- on more recent systems that
implement getrandom() systemd does not need /dev/urandom to generate
the machine-id [3]; we get a value and /etc/machine-id is populated.
On older platforms (Trusty), systemd-machine-id-setup fails (unable to
access /dev/urandom) and we end up with a blank /etc/machine-id. This
ends up making kernel-install (the script) fail during yum's
installation of kernel-core, which means the initrd is not installed
correctly.
We end up bailing out in fedora-minimal/install.d/99-ramdisk, where we
try to put the installed ramdisk in /boot for the later grub install
scripts to find.
The solution here is to mount the standard kernel file-systems within
the chroot before we try installing.

Clarify what this script is doing. It currently fails on some

The check suffered from various flaws.
First, due to missing quotes around $initrd, 'wc -l' would always see
1 line no matter how many results the find returned.
Second, echo adds a line break making 'wc -l' count 1 even for empty
string. We need to add a check for empty string.

5af25b5f fixed the hostname of Debian images to "debian" since a lack of
hostname definition set the hostname to "(None)".
It has been done by introducing /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/01_hostname.cfg
with content:
hostname: debian
Review supposed the hostname would be overriden by cloud meta-data. That
might have stand true for Wheezy but it is not the case for Jessie.
cloud-init 0.7.6 ignores cloud metadata whenever "hostname" or "fqdn"
are set in a config file. Roughly:
# no fqdn set, get fqdn from cloud
# get hostname from cfg if available otherwise cloud
fqdn = cloud.get_hostname(fqdn=True)
if "hostname" in cfg:
# hashar: set from config file NOT cloud
hostname = cfg['hostname']
else:
# fallback to cloud
hostname = cloud.get_hostname()
Relevant code is
https://github.com/number5/cloud-init/blob/0.7.6/cloudinit/util.py#L839-L860
Only inject "hostname: debian" for the Wheezy release.

yum-minimal/root.d/08-yum-chroot runs before yum/root.d/50-yum-cache,
and thus if run on a completely fresh system will fail in
08-yum-chroot as the YUM_CACHE directory isn't made.
This is probably hidden by testing & nodepool builds, because it sets
DIB_IMAGE_CACHE. It was hidden from me because locally I have done
builds using the "yum" element previously, which had created the
cache.

download.fedoraproject.org uses dns round robin and occasionally

Xen paravirtualised disks (supported by most modern kernels) have the
"xvd" prefix (e.g. xvda0). The functions to strip partitions need to
match on Xen PV disks otherwise the device name is discarded.

Grub fails to install the bootloader due to it being on the root

we need to force it to succeed.

Without this patch, the devuser element attempts to find public keys by
iterating over the string "rsa dsa". When two keys are grouped together
in quotes, a bash for loop treats it as a single key. You can see the
issue this causes when debug output is turned on:
+ for fmt in '"rsa dsa"'
+ '[' -f '/home/krinkle/.ssh/id_rsa dsa.pub' ']'
This is not a reasonably named key to look for, so this patch removes
the quotes so that the loop will look for id_rsa.pub and id_dsa.pub
separately.

Make sure we reset the yum/dnf cache to /var/cache/${YUM}, not just
/var/cache/yum
This was resulting in the F22 fedora-minimal image being larger than
the base-image. Because F22 fedora-minimal does some installs with
dnf when bootstrapping the chroot before we set "cachedir=" to the
bind-mounted external cache, we have "/var/cache/dnf" created and and
populated with the package meta-data, etc.
When we globally point dnf to /var/cache/yum here, we effectively
orphan the /var/cache/dnf created in those first steps. dnf doesn't
care, but we end up with two copies of all the package metadata, etc
in "/var/cache/dnf" & "/var/cache/yum".
This also cleans up the sed a bit, by just replacing the lines.

I'm not sure why we try to do an extra install of these, it is done
inside the chroot in _install_repos. Currently it just gets skipped
saying the packages are already installed.

Evidently the readme file hasn't been updated since rhel7 finished
beta, so this is long overdue.
In addition, since it's not possible to download the base image
file directly, let's stop pretending we can and bail out if the user
didn't set the necessary env vars.
Also updated the README to use the new table format instead of free text

Find doesn't like listings disappearing while its trying to find them,
in this case if a PID directory disappears while find is running. Using
-xdev prevents find from going into ./proc and as a side effect /dev
will also be avoided which is mounted on boot so not needed either.

Reorder the script number of 'elements/dkms/post-install.d/99-dkms'
to 'elements/dkms/post-install.d/97-dkms' to ensure that
it will always get executed before the
'elements/ramdisk/post-install.d/99-build-ramdisk'. This
would make sure that the DKMS module is there in the ramdisk.
