Break install-types out of base
We support building elements without depending on the base element. Breaking install-types out into its own element while making base depend on it so elements can depend in it without base. Change-Id: I104543d5482c76f60902e9fc32d91e196eeab51a

Enable install-types support for elements.
|
||||
|
||||
Install types permit elements to be installed from different sources, such as
|
||||
git repositories, distribution packages, or pip. The default install type
|
||||
is 'source' but it can be modified on the disk-image-create command line
|
||||
via the --install-type option. For example you can set:
|
||||
|
||||
--install-type=package
|
||||
|
||||
to enable package installs by default. Alternately, you can also
|
||||
set DIB\_DEFAULT\_INSTALLTYPE.
|
||||
|
||||
Many elements expose different install types. The different implementations
|
||||
live under `<install-dir-prefix>-<install-type>-install` directories under an
|
||||
element's install.d. The base element enables the chosen install type by
|
||||
symlinking the correct hook scripts under install.d directly.
|
||||
`<install-dir-prefix>` can be a string of alphanumeric and '-' characters, but
|
||||
typically corresponds to the element name.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the nova element would provide:
|
||||
|
||||
nova/install.d/nova-package-install/74-nova
|
||||
nova/install.d/nova-source-install/74-nova
|
||||
|
||||
The following symlink would be created for the package install type:
|
||||
|
||||
install.d/74-nova -> nova-package-install/74-nova
|
||||
|
||||
Or, for the source install type:
|
||||
|
||||
install.d/74-nova -> nova-source-install/74-nova
|
||||
|
||||
All other scripts that exist under install.d for an element will be executed as
|
||||
normal. This allows common install code to live in a script under install.d.
