This repo is now testing only with Python 3, so let's make
a few cleanups:
- Remove python 2.7 stanza from setup.py
- Remove obsolete sections from setup.cfg
- Update classifiers
- Update requirements, no need for python_version anymore
- Cleanup doc/source/conf.py to remove now obsolete content,
use sphinxcontrib.apidoc to build module index again (this
seems to have been broken when switching to sphinx-build).
- Remove install_command from tox.ini, the default is fine
- Use TOX_CONSTRAINTS_FILE instead of obsolete UPPER_CONSTRAINTS_FILE.
- Update tox.ini for python3 only support.

While trying to get docker image pre-caching to work we couldn't get a
docker daeomon to run within the chrooted environment. However we got
docker running with the help of bwrap outside of the chrooted
environment. The only option so far for this is the block-device.d
phase. But this has the problem that it runs after the image size has
been calculated. This leads to broken builds if the docker images
being pulled are big.
This can be solved by adding a post-root.d phase that runs outside the
chroot but before the image size calculation.

In exploring Gentoo caching, it was realised that we have no way to
bind mount the cache into the finalised image for the finalise.d
phases.
By adding a pre-finalise.d phase that runs outside the chroot, we can
mount outside things into the hierarchy at $TMP_BUILD_DIR/mnt which
are then seen by the in-chroot finalise.d phase.
This is similar to the pre-install phase

Some minor things after looking at these parts.
The dib-run-parts element doesn't do any of the copying any more, so
these comments are wrong.
The reason for the multiple mounts in the bind mount was non-obvious
to modern eyes (as util-linux has handled this for some time).

dib_[environment|args] manifest files are currently generated by the
base element and then moved by the manifest element.
This creates too many corner cases -- if you don't include the base
element (we are trying to empty it ATM) you don't get the env/args
saved at all; if you include base but don't include the manifest
element they're saved to /etc, but if you do have the manifest element
they're moved to the manifest dir.
Move generation of these into the manifest element directly and update
the documentation to reflect this. In practice this doesn't change
things, because the "manifests" element gets pulled in via deps for
most builds.

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.

Because environment files are sourced into the current environment,
they shouldn't be setting global settings like tracing else they
affect every preceeding import. This is quite confusing when only
half your imports are traced in the logs, because it was either turned
on, or off, by a preceeding environment import.
There is a corresponding dib-run-parts change in
I29f7df1514aeb988222d1094e8269eddb485c2a0 that will greatly increase
debugability for environment files by deliberately logging what files
are sourced and consistently turning on tracing around their import.
This isn't strictly necessary (since dib-run-parts with the prior
change will just turn tracing off after import anyway) but it's a
decent cleanup for consistency. A bare-minimum dib-lint check is
added. Documentation is updated.

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.
Change-Id: Ibbd07d082ec827441def2d3f6240df3efdc6eae3
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.

Running the functional tests is time consuming. This patch adds the
option `-j <job count>` to the tests/run_functests.sh: when given the
test run in parallel up the <job count> jobs.
When using this, be sure to have enough resources (CPUs, RAM and HD
space) on the host.
In addition there was the need to change two things:
o Global /tmp/dib-test-should-fail was move to temporary build
directory of each execution.
o Because the logs might now interleave, each log line has now a
prefix of the name of the testcase.
[In my environment running functests sequential takes 15+ minutes,
running them parallel takes less than 6 minutes.]

As motivation for this; we have had two breakouts of dib in recent
memory. One was a failure to unmount through symlinks in the core
code (I335316019ef948758392b03e91f9869102a472b9) and the other was
removing host keys on the build-system
(Ib01d71ff9415a0ae04d963f6e380aab9ac2260ce).
For the most part, dib runs unprivileged. Bits of the core code are
hopefully well tested (modulo bugs like the first one!). We give free
reign inside the chroot (although there is still some potential there
for adverse external affects via bind mounts). Where we could be a
bit safer (and could have prevented at least the second of these
breakouts) is with some better checking that the "sudo" calls
*outside* the chroot at least looked sane.
This adds a basic check that we're using chroot or image paths when
calling sudo in those parts of elements that run *outside* the chroot.
Various files are updated to accomodate this check; mostly by just
ignoring it for existing code (I have not audited these calls).
Nobody is pretending this type of checking makes dib magically safe,
or removes the issues with it needing to do things as root during the
build. But this can help find egregious errors like the key removal.

This simplifies and enhances the functional-test runner script for
much better interactive behaviour and to give us the ability to better
choose what is running in CI.
Firstly, I have split the image-output testing into a separate script.
This is not actually part of the functional testing of elements and is
both logically and functionally different. It currently does not run
in upstream CI because we don't have docker in the images. I have
nothing against it, but it can be it's own thing.
run_functests.sh is overhauled to have a useful interactive interface,
e.g.
---
$ ./run_functests.sh -h
run_functests.sh [-h] [-l] <test> <test> ...
-h : show this help
-l : list available tests
<test> : functional test to run
Special test 'all' will run all tests
$ ./run_functests.sh -l
The available functional tests are:
apt-sources/test-sources
debian/build-succeeds
fedora/build-succeeds
fedora/build-succeeds-f21
ironic-agent/build-succeeds-fedora
---
As described there, you can run a single test, a number of tests, the
default tests (as CI will do) or all tests. Running all tests is too
much for regular CI, but currently the only way to stop a low priority
test running, or temporarily pause is to remove it completely --
clearly sub-optimal (see I93c2990472e88ab3e5ff14db56b4ff1b4dd965ef).
There is nothing complicated about this, and to further simplify I
have merged the runner functions back into run_functests.sh which
remains a very modest ~150 lines, with most of that being argument
sanity. With that and the image-format cleanup, we can remove the
indirection of the 3 small library files.
For consistency, I have renamed the "dib_functions_test" (that tests
things from the dib functions library) with a run_* prefix.
Because the default list is the same as the current functional tests
run, this does not modify the status-quo. I plan to modify this,
however, to run fedora-minimal & centos-minimal tests in a future
change, as these are required to be stable for openstack ci.
Documentation is updated, and a README.rst is added in the tests
directory for discoverability.
