The following targets have livecd.ubuntu-cpc.manifest (and
livecd.ubuntu-cpc.ext4) which differ in some way from the 'all'
target. They are all missing grub-efi and other modifications:
root-dir
squashfs
tarball
These targets do not depend on the 'disk-image' target. This means that
the ext4 produced will lack the uefi modifications (and any from the
disk-image target binary hooks).
Since the ext4 file is common to all builds there is a chance that a
parallel build from one of these targets could overwrite this artifact.
This patch ensures that all targets will produce consistent base output.
An upcoming addition of the disk-image target to several series files will
required some explanation. Without comment support in series files that
is not possible. This patch adds support for comments in series files.
* ubuntu-cpc: Generate the root image contents once, and use it for both the
-root.tar.xz and the .squashfs.
* ubuntu-cpc: Generate -root.tar.xz with --xattrs.
don't want installed by default. Some are tools that aren't needed for
non-interactive use; some are libraries whose reverse-dependencies
will have already been removed; and one, open-vm-tools, should only be
included in images that are targeted to VMWare (which is not the case
for any of the current minimal images), rather than being included
directly in the cloud-image seed.
Kernels which are able to boot without initramfs now dropped dependency
on initramfs-tools thus initramfs-tools can be removed from the image
instead of having to divert it to avoid initramfs generation.
- Usually, netplan's systemd-generator enables systemd-networkd and
systemd-networkd-wait-online on boot. But netplan configuration is not
yet generated at that point by cloud-init. Cloud-init generates in the
network-pre.target and expects the network.target /
network-online.target to work. These are already part of the ongoing
systemd transaction, thus cannot be injected into the boot-sequency by
cloud-init local mode. Therefore make sure cloud images include
networkd in the initial boot transaction.
- src:systemd will shortly not enable networkd unconditionally by
default.
* Drop ifupdown e-n-i configuration files, no longer used.
