Ian Wienand 6802cf7100 Run dib-run-parts out of /tmp
The dib-run-parts element was copying our internal version of
dib-run-parts into /usr/local/bin to be used running scripts inside
the target chroot.  However, it never cleaned up after itself.  This
means all images were left with an unmanaged local install of
dib-run-parts.

This copies dib-run-parts into the hooks directory of the chroot and
runs it from there.  It is cleaned up automatically on the exit path.

The dib-run-parts element is no longer required and it has been
removed from all dependencies.  It is left with a deprecation notice
in the README.  For compatability we convert it to simply install
dib-utils.

Codesearch shows no users depending on this unintentional implicit
install.  Note os-refresh-config depends on dib-utils and thus will
have an explicitly installed version.

Gentoo

Use a Gentoo cloud image as the baseline for built disk images. The images are located in profile specific sub directories:

http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/

As of this writing, only x86_64 images are available.

Notes:

  • There are very frequently new automated builds that include changes that happen during the product maintenance. The download directories contain an unversioned name and a versioned name. The unversioned name will always point to the latest image, but will frequently change its content. The versioned one will never change content, but will frequently be deleted and replaced by a newer build with a higher version-release number.

  • In order to run the package-installs element you will need to make sure dev-python/pyyaml is installed on the host.

  • In order to run the vm element you will need to make sure sys-block/parted is installed on the host.

  • Other profiles can be used by exporting GENTOO_PROFILE with a valid profile. A list of valid profiles follows:

    default/linux/amd64/13.0 default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib hardened/linux/amd64 hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib

  • You can set the GENTOO_PORTAGE_CLEANUP environment variable to true (or anything other than False) to clean up portage from the system and get the image size smaller.
