fedora-minimal¶
Note as at February 2022, this element is no longer tested or used
by OpenDev. Changes to the RPM format used by recent Fedora releases
have meant that this element can not build on Ubuntu hosts, which lack
a packaged RPM sufficient to extract the base chroot environment. The
fedora-containerfile
element can be used instead of this element.
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
This element sets the DISTRO_NAME
var to ‘fedora’. The release of
fedora to be installed can be controlled through the DIB_RELEASE
variable, which defaults the latest supported release.
