Currently we have all our elements and library files in a top-level directory and install them into <root>/share/diskimage-builder/[elements|lib] (where root is either / or the root of a virtualenv). The problem with this is that editable/development installs (pip -e) do *not* install data_files. Thus we have no canonical location to look for elements -- leading to the various odd things we do such as a whole bunch of guessing at the top of disk-image-create and having a special test-loader in tests/test_elements.py so we can run python unit tests on those elements that have it. data_files is really the wrong thing to use for what are essentially assets of the program. data_files install works well for things like config-files, init.d files or dropping documentation files. By moving the elements under the diskimage_builder package, we always know where they are relative to where we import from. In fact, pkg_resources has an api for this which we wrap in the new diskimage_builder/paths.py helper [1]. We use this helper to find the correct path in the couple of places we need to find the base-elements dir, and for the paths to import the library shell functions. Elements such as svc-map and pkg-map include python unit-tests, which we do not need tests/test_elements.py to special-case load any more. They just get found automatically by the normal subunit loader. I have a follow-on change (I69ca3d26fede0506a6353c077c69f735c8d84d28) to move disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point. Unfortunately, this has to move to work with setuptools. You'd think a symlink under diskimage_builder/[elements|lib] would work, but it doesn't. [1] this API handles stuff like getting files out of .zip archive modules, which we don't do. Essentially for us it's returning __file__. Change-Id: I5e3e3c97f385b1a4ff2031a161a55b231895df5b |

ironic-agent
- Builds a ramdisk with ironic-python-agent. More information can be found at:
-
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/ironic-python-agent/
Beyond installing the ironic-python-agent, this element does the following:
- Installs the
dhcp-all-interfacesso the node, upon booting, attempts to obtain an IP address on all available network interfaces. - Disables the
iptablesservice on SysV and systemd based systems. - Disables the
ufwservice on Upstart based systems. - Installs packages required for the operation of the ironic-python-agent::
-
qemu-utilspartedhdparmutil-linuxgenisoimage
- When installing from source,
python-devandgccare also installed in order to support source based installation of ironic-python-agent and its dependencies. - Install the certificate if any, which is set to the environment
variable
DIB_IPA_CERTfor validating the authenticity by ironic-python-agent. The certificate can be self-signed certificate or CA certificate.
This element outputs three files:
$IMAGE-NAME.initramfs: The deploy ramdisk file containing the ironic-python-agent (IPA) service.$IMAGE-NAME.kernel: The kernel binary file.$IMAGE-NAME.vmlinuz: A hard link pointing to the$IMAGE-NAME.kernelfile; this is just a backward compatibility layer, please do not rely on this file.
Note
The package based install currently only enables the service when using the systemd init system. This can easily be changed if there is an agent package which includes upstart or sysv packaging.
Note
Using the ramdisk will require at least 1.5GB of ram
