diskimage_builder.element_dependencies.expand_dependencies(user_elements, element_dirs)

Deprecated method for expanding element dependencies.

Warning

DO NOT USE THIS FUNCTION. For compatibility reasons, this function does not provide paths to the returned elements. This means the caller must process override rules if two elements with the same name appear in element_dirs

Parameters:

• user_elements – iterable enumerating the elements a user requested
• element_dirs – The ELEMENTS_PATH to process

Returns:

a set containing user_elements and all dependent elements including any transitive dependencies.

diskimage_builder.element_dependencies.get_elements(elements, paths=None)

Return the canonical list of elements with their dependencies

Note

You probably do not want to use this! Elements that require access to the list of all other elements should generally use the environment variables exported by disk-image-create below.

Parameters:

• elements – user specified elements
• paths – Alternative ELEMENTS_PATH; default is to use from env

Returns:

A de-duplicated list of tuples [(element, path), (element, path) …] with all elements and their dependents, including any transitive dependencies.
