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.

This element installs the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)
repository GPG key as well as configuration for yum.
Note this element only works with platforms that have EPEL support
such as CentOS and RHEL
DIB_EPEL_MIRROR:
:Required: No
:Default: None
:Description: To use a EPEL Yum mirror, set this variable to the mirror URL
before running bin/disk-image-create. This URL should point to
the directory containing the ``5/6/7`` directories.
:Example: ``DIB\_EPEL\_MIRROR=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel``
DIB_EPEL_DISABLED:
:Required: No
:Default: 0
:Description: To disable the EPEL repo (but leave it available if
used with an explicit ``--enablerepo``) set this to 1
