Every run we are doing a full tar.gz of the chroot environment that
never gets used.
It's not suitable for CI since we use fresh images each time there.
The cache in general isn't really isn't a very safe thing to have
around, because there's no invalidation procedure and no real way to
make one -- we've no guarantee that a new chroot build even moments
after a previous one wouldn't bring in or different packages, etc (of
course this is *unlikely*, but the longer you go between builds the
worse the problem becomes. Also, tons of packages get installed after
this not from any cache, so potential speed-up is rather marginal.
Debian turned this off with I58fc485aacacaa17243bf9ce760ed91256d1f182.
However, given the reasons above and it's complete lack of testing, I
don't see this as useful.
If we really want this type of thing, I think we should come up with a
way to use a persistent external yum/dnf cache that yum/dnf keeps in
sync with it's usual invalidation rules.

Set the grub timeout to 5 seconds by default, and add notes on how to
update this. This will stop infra having to carry an element that
goes and rewrites the grub configuration.

The squashfs format brings a couple of advantages over the other
formats. Image is often an order of magnitude smaller and it can
be used natively, either as an initrd, either with loop mount.

Debootstrap only supports one apt repository to install packages from.
As a result, we do not consider the updates repo during debootstrap
causing us install a second kernel when we do an apt-get dist-upgrade
during build.
Lets use debootstrap to get us a minimal chroot, then add our repos and
install the correct packages from the start.
We also have to reorder the dpkg root.d scripts which configure apt so
they run before we perform our package installs.

Closes-Bug: #1637516
Add new 'openssh-server' element to ensure that openssh server
is installed and enabled during boot. This is mostly useful for
*-minimal images which do not come with openssh installed and/or
enabled in order to keep a small dependency footprint.

Releasenote translation publishing is being prepared. 'locale_dirs'
needs to be defined in conf.py to generate translated version of the
release notes.
Note that this repository might not get translated release notes - or
no translations at all - but we add the entry here nevertheless to
prepare for it.

Add a new opensuse-minimal element to build small and highly
configurable openSUSE based images using the zypper-minimal element
as the main building mechanism

Move managing of SSH host keys into a dedicated element.
Because glean doesn't generate SSH host keys anymore, we need to do it
with a systemd script. This is already handled by CentOS / Fedora so
we don't want to add it there.
This was done to address the upstream bug in debian:

Icf8a075224833fcfbbe2128e8802ff41c39f3c09 looked rather ugly, and it's
easy for us to expand the processing done in the arch list.
Change "arch" to a comma-separated list of architectures that should
match for install.
Add a "not-arch" list which will exclude the package from installation
on those architectures. (An aside -- I considered making it just he
one list with foo,!bar,moo but ! has special meaning in YAML, so it's
easier to have two lists).
$ ARCH=ppc64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout | grep dmidecode
$ ARCH=ppc64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout | grep lshw
"lshw",
$ ARCH=amd64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout | grep lshw
$ ARCH=amd64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout | grep dmidecode
