Sam Betts 4230a3ba6e Add script to install missing tinyipa dependencies
Squashfs-tools is missing when building the tinyipa image during the
post job, this patch adds a new script to the tinyipa build process that
ensures that missing dependencies get installed as part of the build
process. It also replaces a use of realpath it build-iso.sh where it
should be readlink to ensure that we don't need that dependency.

ironic-python-agent

An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.

The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.

The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.

Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

For more information see the Image Builder section of the Ironic Python Agent developer guide.

Using IPA with devstack

This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
