Ian Wienand 8a1c8370a1 package-installs: add list to arch and "not-arch" list Icf8a075224833fcfbbe2128e8802ff41c39f3c09 looked rather ugly, and it's easy for us to expand the processing done in the arch list. Change "arch" to a comma-separated list of architectures that should match for install. Add a "not-arch" list which will exclude the package from installation on those architectures. (An aside -- I considered making it just he one list with foo,!bar,moo but ! has special meaning in YAML, so it's easier to have two lists). $ ARCH=ppc64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout \| grep dmidecode $ ARCH=ppc64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout \| grep lshw "lshw", $ ARCH=amd64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout \| grep lshw $ ARCH=amd64 package-installs-squash --elements ironic-agent --path=./elements/ /dev/stdout \| grep dmidecode "dmidecode", Change-Id: Ic69dd02a09e6f3ba9078a2377d8df29871a20db2		2016-07-01 21:31:59 +02:00

============
ironic-agent
============
Builds a ramdisk with ironic-python-agent.  More information can be found at:
    https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/ironic-python-agent/

Beyond installing the ironic-python-agent, this element does the following:

* Installs the ``dhcp-all-interfaces`` so the node, upon booting, attempts to
  obtain an IP address on all available network interfaces.
* Disables the ``iptables`` service on SysV and systemd based systems.
* Disables the ``ufw`` service on Upstart based systems.
* Installs packages required for the operation of the ironic-python-agent::
    ``qemu-utils`` ``parted`` ``hdparm`` ``util-linux`` ``genisoimage``
* When installing from source, ``python-dev`` and ``gcc`` are also installed
  in order to support source based installation of ironic-python-agent and its
  dependencies.
* Install the certificate if any, which is set to the environment variable
  ``DIB_IPA_CERT`` for validating the authenticity by ironic-python-agent. The
  certificate can be self-signed certificate or CA certificate.

This element outputs three files:

- ``$IMAGE-NAME.initramfs``: The deploy ramdisk file containing the
  ironic-python-agent (IPA) service.
- ``$IMAGE-NAME.kernel``: The kernel binary file.
- ``$IMAGE-NAME.vmlinuz``: A hard link pointing to the ``$IMAGE-NAME.kernel``
  file; this is just a backward compatibility layer, please do not rely
  on this file.

.. note::
   The package based install currently only enables the service when using the
   systemd init system. This can easily be changed if there is an agent
   package which includes upstart or sysv packaging.

.. note::
   Using the ramdisk will require at least 1.5GB of ram
