The package-installs element allows for a declarative method of installing and
uninstalling packages for an image build. This is done by creating a
package-installs.yaml or package-installs.json file in the element directory.
example package-installs.yaml::
libxml2:
grub2:
phase: pre-install.d
networkmanager:
uninstall: True
os-collect-config:
installtype: source
example package-installs.json::
{
"libxml2": null,
"grub2": {"phase": "pre-install.d"},
"networkmanager": {"uninstall": true}
"os-collect-config": {"installtype": "source"}
}
Setting phase, uninstall, or installtype properties for a package overrides
the following default values::
phase: install.d
uninstall: False
installtype: * (Install package for all installtypes)
Setting the installtype property causes the package only to be installed if
the specified installtype would be used for the element. See the
diskimage-builder docs for more information on installtypes.
DEPRECATED: Adding a file under your elements pre-install.d, install.d, or
post-install.d directories called package-installs-<element-name> will cause
the list of packages in that file to be installed at the beginning of the
respective phase. If the package name in the file starts with a "-", then
that package will be removed at the end of the install.d phase.
