A custom yum repository can now be configured by defining `DIB_YUM_REPO_PACKAGE` as a yum available package or a URL to an rpm file. This package can install repo files with any associated keys and certificates. A good example of such a package upstream is rdo-release[1] which includes multiple repo files, the repo keys, and a root certificate. This makes these repos impractical to install via DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF. Downstream, repo packages like this a frequently used to bootstrap development builds of RHEL with development repos.

Provide yum specific image building glue.
|
|
|
|
RHEL/Fedora/CentOS and other yum based distributions need specific yum
|
|
customizations.
|
|
|
|
Customizations include caching of downloaded yum packages outside of the build
|
|
chroot so that they can be reused by subsequent image builds. The cache
|
|
increases image building speed when building multiple images, especially on
|
|
slow connections. This is more effective than using an HTTP proxy as a yum
|
|
cache since the same rpm from different mirrors is often requested.
|
|
|
|
Custom yum repository configurations can also be applied by defining
|
|
`DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF` to a space separated list of repo configuration files. The
|
|
files will be copied to /etc/yum.repos.d/ during the image build, and then
|
|
removed at the end of the build. Each repo file should be named differently to
|
|
avoid a filename collision.
|
|
|
|
The yum repository can also be configured by defining `DIB_YUM_REPO_PACKAGE` as
|
|
a yum available package or a URL to an rpm file. This package can install repo
|
|
files with any associated keys and certificates.

Environment Variables for Module Selection during Image Creation
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The following environment variable is used to select module streams to be
|
|
enabled during an image build on Yum/DNF based distributions. Any existing
|
|
stream for the given module is first disabled prior to enabling
|
|
the specified stream.
|
|
|
|
#### DIB\_DNF\_MODULE\_STREAMS
|
|
This is a space-separated list of module streams to enable prior to any
|
|
RPMs being installed.

Image Build Module Selection Example
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
When using Train release on RHEL/CentOS/Fedora, one must select the appropriate
|
|
virt and container-tools module streams:
|
|
|
|
DIB_DNF_MODULE_STREAMS='virt:8.2 container-tools:3.0'
