Lucas Alvares Gomes ba808fa6ec ironic-agent element to output a .kernel file The ironic-agent element is created using the disk-image-create utility (even being a ramdisk) and outputs a .vmlinuz file for the kernel (different than the ramdisk-image-create which outputs a .kernel file for the kernel). This is inconsistent and make scripting against the diskimage-builder more complicated if one wants to support different types of ramdisk. This patch creates a hard link for the .vmlinuz file to a .kernel file at the end of the process (to keep backward compatibility) and print a deprecation message.

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.

Full documentation, the source of which is in ``doc/source/``, is
