Andreas Florath 870374c8da Move generation of dib_[environment|args] to manifest element
dib_[environment|args] manifest files are currently generated by the
base element and then moved by the manifest element.

This creates too many corner cases -- if you don't include the base
element (we are trying to empty it ATM) you don't get the env/args
saved at all; if you include base but don't include the manifest
element they're saved to /etc, but if you do have the manifest element
they're moved to the manifest dir.

Move generation of these into the manifest element directly and update
the documentation to reflect this.  In practice this doesn't change
things, because the "manifests" element gets pulled in via deps for
most builds.

Image building tools for OpenStack

diskimage-builder is a flexible suite of components for building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk images for use with OpenStack.

This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.

For example:

$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu

will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2 image.

diskimage-builder is useful to anyone looking to produce customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the components of TripleO that are responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool. Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
