The package-installs element allows for a declarative method of installing and
uninstalling packages for an image build. This is done by creating a
package-installs.yaml or package-installs.json file in the element directory.
example package-installs.yaml::
libxml2:
grub2:
phase: pre-install.d
networkmanager:
uninstall: True
example package-installs.json::
{
"libxml2": null,
"grub2": {"phase": "pre-install.d"},
"networkmanager": {"uninstall": true}
}
Setting phase or uninstall properties for a package overrides the following
default values::
phase: install.d
uninstall: False
DEPRECATED: Adding a file under your elements pre-install.d, install.d, or
post-install.d directories called package-installs-<element-name> will cause
the list of packages in that file to be installed at the beginning of the
respective phase. If the package name in the file starts with a "-", then
that package will be removed at the end of the install.d phase.
