As described inline, deprecate the "source" install for CentOS 8. Overwriting the packaged tools has long been a pain-point in our images, and the best outcome is just not to play the game [1]. However, the landscape remains complicated. For example, RHEL/CentOS 8 introduces the separate "platform-python" binary, which seems like the right tool to install platform tools like "glean" (simple-init) with. However, platform-python doesn't have virtualenv (only the inbuilt venv). So that every element doesn't have to hard-code in workarounds for these various layouts, create two new variables DIB_PYTHON_PIP and DIB_PYTHON_VIRTUALENV to just "do the right thing". If you need is "install a pip package" or "create a virtualenv" this should work on all the platforms we support. If you know more specifically what you want (e.g. must be a python3 virtualenv) then nothing stops elements calling that directly (e.g. python3 -m virtualenv create); these are just helper wrappers for base elements that need to be broadly compatible.

Image building tools for OpenStack
diskimage-builder is a flexible suite of components for
building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk
images for use with OpenStack.
This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.
For example:
$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntuwill create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2
image.
diskimage-builder is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the
components of TripleO that are
responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to
build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
