Provide yum specific image building glue.
|
|
|
|
RHEL/Fedora/CentOS and other yum based distributions need specific yum
|
|
customizations.
|
|
|
|
Customizations include caching of downloaded yum packages outside of the build
|
|
chroot so that they can be reused by subsequent image builds. The cache
|
|
increases image building speed when building multiple images, especially on
|
|
slow connections. This is more effective than using an HTTP proxy as a yum
|
|
cache since the same rpm from different mirrors is often requested.
|
|
|
|
A custom yum repository configuration can also be applied by defining
|
|
`DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF` to the path to a repo configuration file. The file will
|
|
be copied to /etc/yum.repos.d/dib-yum-repo-conf.repo during the image build,
|
|
and then removed at the end of the build.
