README.rst

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.
