# OSBuild - Build-Pipelines for Operating System Artifacts
## CHANGES WITH 24:
* Add a new `org.osbuild.rhsm` stage to configure the Red Hat
subscription management. Currently the stage supports only
enabling or disabling the RHSM DNF plugins.
* Add a new `org.osbuild.sysconfig` stage that allows for the
configuration of basic aspects of the system via the files
located in `/etc/sysconfig`. Currently only a small subset
of possbile configuration values is supported, for example
the default kernel.
* runners: add a runner for CentOS 8. It is currently based on
the same runner used for RHEL 8.2 and newer.
* The `org.osbuild.tar` assembler now by default also includes
the SELinux contexts, POSIX ACLs and extended attributes.
New stage options can be used to opt-out of any of those.
* Add support for developing osbuild via Visual Studio Code
Remote - Containers. This allows easy onboarding as well as
cross-platform development of osbuild inside VS Code. When
the osbuild source code folder is opened in VS Code it can
detect the support for container based development and
build and use the provided container environment. The
container itself is based on Fedora.
* Documentation: describe `--inspect` in the man page
* Fix a bug so that log text is continuously stream to standard
out when using osbuild in interactive, i.e. non JSON, mode.
* spec file: only disable the dep. generator for runners.
Don't detect dependencies for runners, because they are hand
crafted to work on a specific platform, i.e. platform-python
on RHEL. Do pick up dependencies for stages, assemblers, and
sources, since they are also run on the host.
* osbuild has seen massive refactoring so that now the internal
manifest representation is a more generic direct a-cyclic graph
of pipelines. Additionally a new concept called `Inputs` has
been introduced. They provide resources to stages in a unified
way, independently of their origin, i.e. if they were fetched
via a source or built via a pipeline.
The reading of the manifest description and the writing of
results is now done in a format specific way to prepare for
a new version of the description where the new generic, "dag"
pipelines can be expressed.
* Various big improvements to testing, like verifying the tar
assembler output, using `pytest` as testing framework.
* As always, CI has been improved, especially the mock build
phase and how reverse dependency testing against composer
is done.
