The reality is that "stable" is what is tested. This tries to give
enough info that users can ascertain what tests are running at any
given time and hence what elements are known to be working.
Additional, clarify the Fedora position in the README as now described
by above.

SUSE dropped OpenStack Cloud in 2019 [1], and as a result, some
OpenStack-related repositories were removed from openSUSE Download and
root filesystem images stopped being provided. This change deprecates
Leap releases before 15.3 and employs the extract-image script. It also
moves the extract-image script to the sysprep element, since now it's
also used by openSUSE-related elements.
Additionally, revert the "Remove opensuse related funtests" change [2]
so that the opensuse element is tested again and set the default Leap
release to 15.3.

Add openeuler-minimal element and add CI functional tests for both
x86_64 and arm64.
OpenEuler is an open source community driven YUM/DNF distro like
Fedora. It references Fedora and CentOS a lot for the rpm packages
building. So somewhat it can be treated as a redhat family distro
and reuse the YUM/DNF related elements to help build openEuler images.

Currently diskimage-builder supports two ways to specify the image
size. One is defining a fixed image size using DIB_IMAGE_SIZE, the
other one is auto-detection while adding a security margin of 60% as
free space. This means when building larger images (e.g. >100GB) with
unknown size upfront we end up with much wasted space, IO and network
traffic when uploading the images to several cloud providers. This can
be optimized by adding a third way by defining DIB_IMAGE_EXTRA_SIZE to
specify the free space in GB. This makes it possible to easily build
images of varying sizes while still minimizing the overhead by keeping
the free space constant to e.g. 1GB.

In many cases, the statically sized 64MB journal is far below the
e2fstools default calculation[0] which calls for a 64MB journal only
on filesystems smaller than 16GB. On bare metal in particular, the
correct default journal size will often be in the 512MB-1GB range.
Since we cannot know what the target system is, this should be a
tunable parameter that the user can set depending on the intended
image usage.
Add a DIB_JOURNAL_SIZE envvar and --mkfs-journal-size parameter
to the image creation so users can override the default journal
size.

systemd-resolved has a new behaviour in bionic, in that if there is no
/etc/resolv.conf file when it installs, it assumes it is a fresh
system and makes /etc/resolf.conf a symlink into its compatability
files.
dib ends up saving & restoring whatever /etc/resolv.conf we have after
the inital chroot creation, which may not be what we want -- in the
above case it restores the system-resolved symlink. For
openstack-infra, we use unbound and want simply "127.0.0.1" in a
/etc/resolv.conf file [1].
Formalise the ability to save specific contents into the final image.
Add documentation, and a note in the code that it's an external
interface.
I would have preferred to namespace the .ORIG file with DIB_ or
similar, but this unofficial interface has already escaped into the
wild. Leave it as is for simplicity.
[1] Note that systemd-resolved will obey /etc/resolv.conf as you would
expect, if file exists.

This moves the block-device default out of the "vm" element and into a
selection of other elements. There's "mbr" which retains the status
quo. There's an EFI version that has the boot/grub partitions as
required. In between there's the GPT only version, which is useful
for architectures like power without EFI, but still want possible
larger disks using GPT.
Change-Id: I4a566a97d073fc0dda0ab2494ac988fe015800a9
This adds support for a GPT label type to the partitioning code. This
is relatively straight-forward translation of the partition config
into a sgparted command-line and subsequent call.
A unit test is added based on a working GPT/EFI configuration and the
fedora-minimal functional test is updated to build a single-partition
GPT based using the new block-device-gpt override element. See notes
in the sample configuration files about partition requirements and
types.
Documentation has been updated.

s390x architecture uses zipl as bootloader. When used in combination
with the vm element it replaces the existing bootloader element.
It's mandatory for s390x vm images.
Use cases
---------
* Allow users to create s390x images that run on nova with s390x
libvirt/kvm backend
* Building nodepool images for s390x third party CI
Supported Distros
-----------------
The following listing shows all Distros that officially support
s390x and how those Distros are supported in DIB with this patch.
* SLES - not supported (SLES is not supported in DIB)
* RHEL - not suppoprted (RHEL is not supported as KVM guest on s390x,
therefore there's no rhel7 qcow image for s390x available
like it is for other archictectures)
* Ubuntu - supported
Ubuntu images can for example be built using the following commands:
$ disk-image-create ubuntu-minimal zipl vm
$ disk-image-create ubuntu-minimal zipl
$ disk-image-create ubuntu zipl vm
Testing
-------
Cross architecture building of s390x images is not supported so far.
The plan is to set up a ThirdParty CI that builds the image for s390x and
provides the logs.

Testing on a ubuntu cloud image, the build is not possible
because it is missing the kpartx dependency. Adding that
as a requirement, when producing images with partitions.
Change-Id: I0c8f39b5233dd450d8130735ed801bbed6bca0e9
The MBR Partition Table Entry (PTE) allows one to specify many
possible partition types and one of the benefits of this is being able
to specify the CHS variant or the LBA variant.
By default, LBA only creates partitions of type 0x83 (of course,
that's only because the documentation doesn't tell you how to make it
do anything else).
I will take up Ian's suggestion in patch set 2 for a more rigorous
test in an independent patch set.

This moves to a more generic config parser that doesn't have plugins
parsing part of the tree.
I understand why it ended up that way; we have "partitions" key which
has special semantics compared to others keys and there was a desire
to keep it isolated from core tree->graph code. But this isn't really
isolated; you have to reverse-engineer several module-crossing
boundaries, extras classes and repetitive recursive functions.
Ultimately, plugins should have access to the node graph, but not
participate in configuration parsing. This way we ensure that plugins
can't invent new methods of configuration parsing.
Note: unit tests produce the same tree -> graph conversion as the old
method. i.e. this is not intended to have a functional change.

This patch finalizes the block device refactoring. It moves the three
remaining levels (filesystem creation, mount and fstab handling) into
the new python module.
Now it is possible to use any number of disk images, any number of

* unmount_dir : modified to only unmount the subdirs mounted by
mount_proc_sys_dev(). dib-block-device unmounts

mkfs's arguments are
mkfs [options] [-t type] [fs-options] device [size]
So it seems our MKFS_OPTS are really supposed to be fs-options, rather
than options to mkfs itself.
Why didn't we notice? It's quite a trap -- mkfs.ext2 has a "-t"
option, so when we're calling
$ mkfs -i 4096 ... -t ext4 ...
We actually just fall-back to the default from the mkfs wrapper which
is mkfs.ext2 which works! But when you make that, say, xfs, we're not
calling the right wrapper at all.
Also update documentation

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.
