Ian Wienand 00da1982ce Add a more generic tree->graph parser 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.

Image building tools for OpenStack
==================================

``diskimage-builder`` is a flexible suite of components for building a
wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk images for
use with OpenStack.

This repository has the core functionality for building such images,
both virtual and bare metal.  Images are composed using `elements`;
while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have
the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.

For example::

  $ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu

will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based ``qcow2`` image.

``diskimage-builder`` is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds.  These tools are the
components of `TripleO <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/TripleO>`__
that are responsible for building disk images.  They are also used
extensively to build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly
with `nodepool
<http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/nodepool.html>`__.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
