As motivation for this; we have had two breakouts of dib in recent memory. One was a failure to unmount through symlinks in the core code (I335316019ef948758392b03e91f9869102a472b9) and the other was removing host keys on the build-system (Ib01d71ff9415a0ae04d963f6e380aab9ac2260ce). For the most part, dib runs unprivileged. Bits of the core code are hopefully well tested (modulo bugs like the first one!). We give free reign inside the chroot (although there is still some potential there for adverse external affects via bind mounts). Where we could be a bit safer (and could have prevented at least the second of these breakouts) is with some better checking that the "sudo" calls *outside* the chroot at least looked sane. This adds a basic check that we're using chroot or image paths when calling sudo in those parts of elements that run *outside* the chroot. Various files are updated to accomodate this check; mostly by just ignoring it for existing code (I have not audited these calls). Nobody is pretending this type of checking makes dib magically safe, or removes the issues with it needing to do things as root during the build. But this can help find egregious errors like the key removal. Change-Id: I161a5aea1d29dcdc7236f70d372c53246ec73749 |

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.
