An update that has 7 recommended fixes can now be installed.
Description:
This update for python-kiwi fixes the following issues:
Update to version 9.21.23
- Azure generated images are not bootable. (bsc#1180781)
- Fixed validation of bool value in dracut module. (bsc#1179562)
- The `oem-multipath-scan` setup results in a bool variable inside of
the initrd code. The variable `kiwi_oemmultipath_scan` is therefore
either set to _true_ or _false_. This update fixes the validation to
make use of the `bool()` method provided for these type of variables.
- Omit multipath module by default (bsc#1179562)
- The plain installation of the multipath toolkit activates the dracut
multipath code. The setup if the target image runs in a multipath
environment or not should however be decided explicitly in the image
description via `<oem-multipath-scan>` and not implicitly by the
presence of tools.
- Fixed multipath disk device assignment in kiwi lib (bsc#1179562)
- The former lookup of the multipath mapped disk device contained a race
condition. If the lookup of the device mapper files happened before
multipathd has finished the initialization, kiwi continues with the
unix node name and fails when the device mapper keeps a busy state on
it. This update changes the code such that in case
of an explicit request to use multipath the lookup of the mapped
device becomes a mandatory process that runs until the
`DEVICE_TIMEOUT` is reached. Default timeout is set to 60 sec.
- Do not exclude filesystem folders in OCI images (bsc#1176129)
- This update does not exclude filesystem folders during the rsync call
in OCI images. It has been noted that including an empty `/dev` folder
does not hurt and it can eventually help to workaround some
limitations of container related tools such as `buildah`.
- Fix/Refactor s390 support (bsc#1170863)
- This changes the s390 support on several stages:
- On s390 the boot process is based on zipl which boots into an initrd
from which a userspace grub process is started to support the grub
capabilities. The implementation of this concept is provided via the
`grub2-s390x-emu` package. Once installed the setup of the
bootloader is done via the `grub2-mkconfig` and `grub2-install`
commands and therefore from a caller perspective the same as with
any other grub2 setup process. For kiwi this means no extra zipl
bootloader target code is needed. Therefore this update deletes the
zipl setup from kiwi and puts on the standard grub2 process.
- To support different targettypes the `grub2-s390x-emu` provided zipl
template must be adapted. Parts of the former zipl bootloader setup
therefore now applies to an update of the `zipl2grub` template file
- Support for `CDL/LDL DASD` targets has been disabled in the schema.
When testing 4k devices and a respective zipl2grub template setup
for `CDL/LDL` targettype it has turned out that `grub2-install` is
not able to run on such a device. Probably the device code in
`grub2-install` does not work for 4k devices with an fdasd created
partition table. As this needs further investigations and most
probably adaptions on the grub toolchain for s390, we disabled the
setup of these modes for now. Emulated DASD (FBA) and SCSI targets
stays supported.
- Fix compat link for rpmdb location. (bsc#1176977)
- This update fixes the symbolic link creation for `/var/lib/rpm`. More
specific for derived container images in which the base root tree
already included the `/var/lib/rpm` the link, the `ln` command was
creating a symbolic link inside the `/var/lib/rpm` folder givent that
it was following the already existing symbolic link. Adding the
`--no-target-directory` force `ln` command to treat `/var/lib/rpm`
path as the fully qualified symlink name.
- Fixed s390/sle15 Virtual disk integration test. (bsc#1170863)
- The integration test used FBA mode as target. As the target is
expected to be KVM this is the wrong setting. SCSI should be used
instead.
- Support dynamic `linux/linuxefi` in any case. (bsc#1175729, bsc#1176134)
- Instead of restricting the dynamic linux vs. linuxefi setup to a
specific grub version, support this setup for any version of grub.
