manifests¶
An framework for saving manifest information generated during the build for later inspection. Manifests are kept in the final image and also copied to the build area post-image creation.
Elements that wish to save any form of manifest should depend on this
element and can save their data to into the DIB_MANIFEST_IMAGE_DIR (
which defaults to /etc/dib-manifests). Note this is created in
extra-data.d rather than pre-install.d to allow the
source-repositories element to make use of it
The manifests are copied to DIB_MANIFEST_SAVE_DIR, which defaults
to ${IMAGE_NAME}.d/, resulting in the manifests being available as
${IMAGE_NAME}.d/dib-manifests by default after the build.
Extra status¶
This element will also add the files dib_environment and
dib_arguments to the manifest recording the diskimage-builder
specific environment (DIB_* variables) and command-line arguments
respectively.
