Xinliang Liu a6ee4d0c21 Introduce openEuler distro
Add openeuler-minimal element and add CI functional tests for both
x86_64 and arm64.

OpenEuler is an open source community driven YUM/DNF distro like
Fedora. It references Fedora and CentOS a lot for the rpm packages
building. So somewhat it can be treated as a redhat family distro
and reuse the YUM/DNF related elements to help build openEuler images.

For more info about openEuler, see: https://openeuler.org/en

1.1 KiB

redhat-common

Image installation steps common to RHEL, CentOS, Fedora and openEuler.

Requirements:

If used to build an image form a cloud image compress with xz (the default in centos), this element uses "unxz" to decompress the image. Depending on your distro you may need to install either the xz or xz-utils package.

Environment Variables

DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE
Required

No

Default

None

Description

Use the local path of a qcow2 cloud image. This is useful in that you can use a customized or previously built cloud image from diskimage-builder as input. The cloud image does not have to have been built by diskimage-builder. It should be a full disk image, not just a filesystem image.

Example

DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE=rhel-guest-image-7.1-20150224.0.x86_64.qcow2

DIB_DISABLE_KERNEL_CLEANUP
Required

No

Default

0

Description

Specify if kernel needs to be cleaned up or not. When set to true, the bits that cleanup old kernels will not be executed.

Example

DIB_DISABLE_KERNEL_CLEANUP=1
