Raw Blame History

Use an openSUSE cloud image as the baseline for built disk images. The base image is located here:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Cloud:/Images/images/

This image should currently be considered experimental. Right now, we've only got a 64 bit image, and no 32 bit image. But it's a start.

Notes:

  • The filename of the base image in the above repository is currently not stable (e.g. it includes a build number and image version). A fix for that will be rolled out to the repositories soon. A tempoary workaround to figure out the correct filename has been added to root.d/10-opensuse-cloud-image.
  • Building with DIB_EXTLINUX=1 doesn't work. It fails with: /tmp/in_target.d/finalise.d/51-bootloader: line 14: 16286 Segmentation fault extlinux --install /boot/syslinux (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852856)
  • This element doesn't need half of the rpm-distro element's pre-install hooks. The exceptions are 01-install-bin, which has been copied to this element, and 01-override-zypp-arch (which is something that could probably be jammed into the base image...).
  • We might want to use the local-config element (after updating that element to inject http_proxy properly for openSUSE, of course). (https://bugs.launchpad.net/diskimage-builder/+bug/1256982)
