Ben Nemec dde3d24213 Allow custom rootfs labels
Per [1], our current root label of cloudimg-root does not work with
XFS because XFS only allows 12 character labels.  This change
addresses that by allowing a custom rootfs label to be specified
in the call to disk-image-create.  There should be no backwards
compatibility concerns as the default label is unchanged.  Any
external elements dealing with the label would need to be updated
to support this new feature, but should continue to work as before
as long as a custom label is not specified.

README.md Merge "Debian: Support additional debootstrap arguments" 2014-06-12 05:31:35 +00:00

Create an image based on Debian. We default to unstable but DIB_RELEASE is mapped to any series of Debian.

Note that the default Debian series is unstable, and the default mirrors for Debian can be problematic for unstable. Because apt does not handle changing Packages files well across multiple out of sync mirrors, it is recommended that you choose a single mirror of debian, and pass it in via DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR.

If necessary, a custom apt keyring and debootstrap script can be supplied to the debootstrap command via DIB_DEBIAN_KEYRING and DIB_DEBIAN_DEBOOTSTRAP_SCRIPT respectively. Both options require the use of absolute rather than relative paths.

Use of this element will also require the tool 'debootstrap' to be available on your system. It should be available on Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora.

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