Several people have popped up in IRC recently with failures in these elements. Without Python 2.7 available in the image they are unsupported (OpenStack hasn't supported it for a long time). Remove these to avoid further confusion. The centos/centos7 DISTRO split that has happened with centos-minimal is unfortunate but I don't think it helps to rename centos7/rhel7 ATM. To summarise; DISTRO=centos7 means image based build, DISTRO=centos && DIB_RELEASE=7 means the minimal build. In the future, I think it is important that the minimal builds and image builds set the same DISTRO. This reflects that "upper" layers shouldn't care about the exact building of the lower layers. I see CentOS 8 going one of two ways 1) the changes are so significant, we start separate centos8 / centos8-minimal elements. They both set DISTRO=centos8 (and DIB_RELEASE to point-release maybe?). This means we have to update all "if DISTRO == centos || DISTRO == centos7" branches to also check for "centos8". Evenually (!) "centos" goes away for versioned DISTRO only 2) we restore centos element with DISTRO=centos and DIB_RELEASE=8, and centos-minimal remains the same. This means we have to audit all "if DISTRO == centos" calls to make sure they're appropriate for version 8 (stick a "&& DIB_RELEASE=7" on them all basically). I'm not sure we can fully decide until we start to see excatly how the distro switching/matching bits look, but (2) is consistent with Ubuntu and probably the preferred solution. Some "rhel" parts have been cleaned up. More could be done in rhel-common, but given our lack of coverage of that I'd prefer to leave it for now.

============
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.
* Compresses initramfs with command specified in environment variable
``DIB_IPA_COMPRESS_CMD``, which is 'gzip' by default. This command should listen
for raw data from stdin and write compressed data to stdout. Command can be
with arguments.
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
