This started a long way from here, when I noticed that "top" on centos 9-stream images wasn't working because ncurses-base wasn't installed. This led me to the extant install of bash/glibc/ncurses-libs from Iecf7f7e4c992bb23437b6461cdd04cdca96aafa6. However it didn't really explain why these are brought in here. Reading further it became clearer that over the years of distribution additions, Fedora updates, etc. this has grown into a bit of a mess. Refactor the release package installs into a more logical flow, pulling out checks/comments for Fedora's of ancient history, etc. Remove the 9-stream package installs; this isn't the place for them, and the should be brought in by the base packages. Ultimately, this is intendend to a be a no-op refactor. Change-Id: Ie7d9a6497d0d20a3303ec0da3d0668c74efa2c3d
yum-minimal
Base element for creating minimal yum-based images.
This element is incomplete by itself, you'll want to use the centos-minimal or fedora-minimal elements to get an actual base image.
Use of this element will require 'yum' and 'yum-utils' to be installed on Ubuntu and Debian. Nothing additional is needed on Fedora or CentOS.
If you wish to have DHCP networking setup for eth0 & eth1 via /etc/sysconfig/network-config scripts/ifcfg-eth[0|1], set the environment variable DIB_YUM_MINIMAL_CREATE_INTERFACES to 1.
If you wish to build from specific mirrors, set
DIB_YUM_MINIMAL_BOOTSTRAP_REPOS to a directory with the
.repo files to use during bootstrap and build. The repo
files should be named with a prefix dib-mirror- and will be
removed from the final image.
If you wish to include extra repositories, set
DIB_YUM_MINIMAL_EXTRA_REPOS to a directory with the
.repo files. The repo files will not be removed from the
final image.
If you are bootstrapping a custom or unsupported OS, and need to
install additional packages to setup the base chroot, set
DIB_YUM_MINIMAL_BOOTSTRAP_PACKAGES to the list of
additional packages to install.
