cockpit-composer can now build rhel 8.4 images. Our distro name for
rhel 8.4 is rhel-84 unlike prior rhel releases which fall
under the umbrella name rhel-8. rhel 8.4 still uses the same
repos as the rest of the rhel 8 releases but points to a different
nightly repo for testing purposes. Test cases are added. The changes
between rhel 8.3 and 8.4 are as follows:
There is now a hybrid boot partition scheme for x86_64. x86_64 images
now use uefi boot and have 3 gpt partitions: a small unformated
partition for mbr compatibility, an efi boot partition of type vfat, and
a root partition of type xfs. The packages grub2-efi-x64 and shim-x64
are added as bootloader packages for all x86_64 images.
For qcow2 images ro is added as a kernel option and the following
packages are added (+) or removed (-):
+ dosfstools
+ efi-filesystem
+ efivar
+ efivar-libs
+ grub2-efi-x64
+ shim-x64
- rhn-client-tools
- rhnlib
- rhnsd
- rhn-setup
