Ian Wienand f3121f0fb7 Fix up doc errors It seems that pbr's "warnerrors" isn't actually doing anything at the moment (I680b448471e687919d202e8f2abe57f8ba3b22ee) meaning we're able to commit docs with RST parser errors. Fix all these up in some minimal way (I have not audited content, just made it pass build). Link the specs in so they're referenced from the top level.

README.rst

rhel7

Use RHEL 7 cloud images as the baseline for built disk images.

Because RHEL 7 base images are not publicly available, it is necessary to first download the RHEL 7 cloud image from the Red Hat Customer Portal and pass the path to the resulting file to disk-image-create as the DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE environment variable.

The cloud image can be found at (login required): https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.1/x86_64/product-downloads

Then before running the image build, define DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE (replace the file name with the one downloaded, if it differs from the example):

.. code-block:: bash

export DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE=rhel-guest-image-7.1-20150224.0.x86_64.qcow2

The downloaded file will then be used as the basis for any subsequent image builds.

For further details about building RHEL 7 images, see the rhel-common and redhat-common element README files.
