fedora-minimal

Create a minimal image based on Fedora.

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. The element will need python-lzma everywhere.

Due to a bug in the released version of urlgrabber, on many systems an installation of urlgrabber from git is required. The git repository can be found here: http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=urlgrabber.git;a=summary

The DIB_OFFLINE or more specific DIB_YUMCHROOT_USE_CACHE variables can be set to prefer the use of a pre-cached root filesystem tarball.

This element sets the DIB_RELEASE var to ‘fedora’. The release of fedora to be installed can be controlled through the DIB_RELEASE variable, which defaults to ‘21’.
