Monty Taylor b5bcb3b60e Add a yum-minimal element that just uses yum The centos-minimal approach of using rinse does not, it turns out, work on centos. That's a bummer. It's also rather heavyweight. Instead, with minor machinations, we can just use yum itself pointed at a chroot. Also adding fedora-minimal element which creates a fedora image using the new yum-minimal approach.

==============
fedora-minimal
==============
Create a minimal image based on Fedora.

Use of this element will require 'yum' and 'yum-utils' to be installed on
Ubuntu and Debian. Nothing additional is needed on Fedora or CentOS. The
element will need `python-lzma` everywhere.

Due to a bug in the released version of urlgrabber, on many systems an
installation of urlgrabber from git is required. The git repository
can be found here: http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=urlgrabber.git;a=summary

The `DIB_OFFLINE` or more specific `DIB_YUMCHROOT_USE_CACHE`
variables can be set to prefer the use of a pre-cached root filesystem
tarball.

This element sets the `DIB_RELEASE` var to 'fedora'. The release of fedora
to be installed can be controlled through the `DIB_RELEASE` variable, which
defaults to '21'.
