diskimage-builder usually provides defaults that work out of the box.
One default that does not work outside of x86 land is Ubuntu distro
mirror url. Considering there are only two valid default options, we can
automatically choose a better default.
This patch changes behavior only for architectures known to be using
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports. All others still would use
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu as default. It provides some guarantee
that we do not introduce a regression.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

expand_dependencies() was a public interface so we should try and
preserve backwards compat. However, since the interface is really
broken, add a new exported function "get_elements" that instack can
switch to. This returns the canonical list of elements without
duplicates, and gives the path to each element too.
This highlighted that the unit tests were really a bit wrong. They're
testing inner functions when we have an "API" in the get_elements()
function. Convert all unit-tests to use this function instead. Since
this is a library call, convert the sys.exit() calls to raised
exceptions.
Refactor the variable output into a separate function so we can do a
sanity check on it.
The added flake8 ignores are for the "over-indented for ... indent"
which happens a lot with these new longer lines. Most other projects
ignore them.
This is an alternative proposal to

Because we're still fundamentally a python program calling a
shell-script, there's some oddities like not having the virtualenv
bin/ in the $PATH if we call disk-image-create directly.
We can detect this, however, and activate the virtualenv before we
fork the disk-image-create shell script so everything "just works".

Move dib-run-parts from dib-utils into diskimage-builder directly.
For calling outside the chroot, we provide a standard entry-point
script. However, as noted in the warning comment, the underlying
script is still copied directly into the chroot by the dib-run-parts
element. I believe this to be the KISS approach.
This removes the dependency on dib-utils. We have discussed this
previously and nobody seemed to think retiring dib-utils was going to
be an issue.
This also updates the documentation to not mention dib-utils, or using
disk-image-create via $PATH setup, but rather gives instructions on
installing from pip with a virtualenv.

It has always been a weird thing that dib is a python package, but
is totally driven by the disk-image-create script. It creates this
strange division that is hard to explain.
This moves disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point
Currently, this simply exec()s the original disk-image-create script.
However, we now have a (private) interface between disk-image-create
written in python and the driver shell script. Here's some things we
could do, for example:
* Argument parsing is generally nicer in Python, and then end result
is mostly just setting environment variables to flag different things
in the shell script. I could see us moving the argument-parsing into
diskimage_builder.disk_image_create:main() and just setting things in
os.environ before the exec()).
* I7092e1845942f249175933d67ab121188f3511fd sets IMAGE_ELEMENT_YAML in
disk-image-create by calling-back to element-info. We can just call
element_dependencies.find_all_elements() in here an export is to
os.environ before disk-image-create starts.
* remove need for ramdisk-image-create symlink by just exporting
IS_RAMDISK based on sys.argv[1] value
* you could even unit test some of this :)

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__.

Move element-info from a wrapper script to a standard entry-point
console_script.
Update the documentation to explain how to run it for development. I
don't think we should support the idea that you can check-out the code
and run ./bin/disk-image-create -- it has dependencies (dib-utils,
etc) and needs to be run from a virtualenv (this is what CI in the
gate does). A follow-up can clean-up some of the path munging stuff
we have for this in disk-image-create.

Block device handling can be somewhat complex - especially
when taking things like md, lvm or encryption into account.
This patch factors out the creation and deletion of the local
loop image device handling into a python library.
The main propose of this patch is to implement the needed
infrastructure. Based on this, more advanced functions can be added.
Example: (advanced) partitioning, LVM, handling different boot
scenarios (BIOS, UEFI, ...), possibility of handling multiple images
(local loop image, iSCSI, physical hard disk, ...), handling of
different filesystems for different partitions / LVs.

These new variables are a list of elements chosen for the build along
with their full paths. For Python elements, IMAGE_ELEMENT_YAML is a
YAML formatted list that can be easily parsed. For bash elements,
"get_image_element_array" will produce an associative-array of the
same (working around lack of array export in Bash).
This list is intended for consumption of elements who need to copy
files from other elements, such as pkg-map and svc-map. As discussed
in I2a29861c67de2d25c595cb35d850e92807d26ac6, this list has already
been pruned and had overrides processed, so it is safe to simply walk
over this list with no further processing.
Since we're presenting the element list in a couple of different ways,
we combine it all into the element-info script. It will output an
eval-able string that declares the appropriate variables.
I've added some inline documentation so they still appear in grep.
The documentation is updated with examples, and moved to a more
appropriate location as a sub-section of the element sytle guide.
To test this out, use the associative-array in generate_hooks, where
we can now find the element's directory without searching.

This is a re-factor of element_dependencies to achieve two things --
centralising override policy and storing path names.
Firstly we want to make the override policy for elements completely
explicit. Currently, elements that wish to copy parts of other
elements walk ELEMENTS_PATH themselves and look for elements in
IMAGE_ELEMENT. How they handle duplicate elements can differ, leading
to inconsistent behaviour.
We introduce logic in element-info to find elements in each of the
directories in ELEMENT_PATHS in *reverse* order -- that is to say,
earlier entries in the paths will overwrite later ones.
For example
ELEMENT_PATHS=foo:bar:baz
will mean that "foo/element" will override "baz/element", since "foo"
is first. This should be sane to anyone familiar with $PATH.
Documentation is clarified around this point and a test-case is added.
The second thing is that we want to keep the complete path of the
elements we have chosen. We want the aforementioned elements that
walk the element list to use these canonical paths to pickup files;
this way they don't need to make local decisions about element
overrides, but can simply iterate a list and copy/merge files if they
exist.
A follow-on change (I7092e1845942f249175933d67ab121188f3511fd) will
expose this data in a separate variable that can be parsed by elements
(a further follow-on I0a64b45e9f2cfa28e84b2859d76b065a6c4590f0
modifies the elements to use this information). Thus this does not
change the status-quo -- elements that are walking ELEMENTS_PATH
themselves and can/will continue doing that.
