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__.
