History

Andreas Florath 022d93ee82 Unify tidy up logs in lib/img-functions Cleaning logs was split, some was done in the img-functions.finalise_base, some was done in the base element. The version unifies tidy up logs in the lib/img-functions. Especially when building docker container images the base element cannot be used. This patch removes about some hundreds KB of useless logs in cases when the base element is not used.

base
====
This is the base element.

Almost all users will want to include this in their disk image build,
as it includes a lot of useful functionality.

The `DIB_CLOUD_INIT_ETC_HOSTS` environment variable can be used to
customize cloud-init's management of `/etc/hosts`:

 * If the variable is set to something, write that value as
   cloud-init's manage_etc_hosts.

 * If the variable is set to an empty string, don't create
   manage_etc_hosts setting (cloud-init will use its default value).

 * If the variable is not set, use "localhost" for now. Later, not
   setting the variable will mean using cloud-init's default. (To
   preserve diskimage-builder's current default behavior in the
   future, set the variable to "localhost" explicitly.)

Notes:

 * If you are getting warnings during the build about your locale
   being missing, consider installing/generating the relevant locale.
   This may be as simple as having language-pack-XX installed in the
   pre-install stage

 * This element ensures /tmp/ccache will be available in the chroot
   during the root, extra-data, pre-install, install and post-install
   stages.  /tmp/ccache is unavailable during block-device, finalise
   and cleanup stages as it will have been automatically unmounted
   by then.
