In https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild/pull/2148, we changed the logic to generate the volume ID from the data in `/usr/lib/os-release` to sever the reliance on metadata in the embedded treefile that will no longer exist. This had no effect in FCOS, but had an effect in RHCOS, which went from a volume ID of `rhcos-...` to `rhel-coreos-...`. This was considered harmless at the time, but in fact ended up affecting the OpenShift Assisted Image Service. See e.g. https://github.com/openshift/assisted-image-service/pull/477 which attempted to adapt that code. But in the end, it felt safer and less work to just revert back to the previous volume ID. So here we are. But we still don't want to go back to using the embedded treefile. Instead, we now have access to the OS name to use as a label on the container image. This label gets serialized into the aleph during the creation of the metal image (via the `org.osbuild.ostree.aleph` stage) which we have access here when mounting the metal image via loopback. So pick it up from there and use that. But in case it's missing, fallback to the previous logic rather than hard fail to make this easier to ratchet in. |

OSBuild
Build-Pipelines for Operating System Artifacts
OSBuild is a pipeline-based build system for operating system artifacts. It defines a universal pipeline description and a build system to execute them, producing artifacts like operating system images, working towards an image build pipeline that is more comprehensible, reproducible, and extendable.
See the osbuild(1) man-page for details on how to run osbuild, the definition
of the pipeline description, and more.

Principles
- OSBuild stages are never broken, only deprecated. The same manifest should always produce the same output.
- OSBuild stages should be explicit whenever possible instead of e.g. relying on the state of the tree.
- Pipelines are independent, so the tree is expected to be empty at the beginning of each.
- Manifests are expected to be machine-generated, so OSBuild has no convenience functions to support manually created manifests.
- The build environment is confined against accidental misuse, but this should not be considered a security boundary.
- OSBuild may only use Python language features supported by the oldest target distribution.

Requirements
The requirements for this project are:
bubblewrap >= 0.4.0python >= 3.6
Additionally, the built-in stages require:
bash >= 5.0coreutils >= 8.31curl >= 7.68qemu-img >= 4.2.0rpm >= 4.15tar >= 1.32util-linux >= 235skopeopython3-librepo
At build-time, the following software is required:
python-docutils >= 0.13pkg-config >= 0.29
Testing requires additional software:
pytest
Build
Osbuild is a python script so it is not compiled. To verify changes made to the code use included makefile rules:
make lintto run linter on top of the codemake test-allto run base set of testssudo make test-runto run extended set of tests (takes long time)
Also keep in mind that some tests require those prerequisites, otherwise they are skipped
sudo dnf install -y systemd-boot-unsigned erofs-utils pykickstart podman xfsprogs
Installation
Installing osbuild requires to not only install the osbuild module, but also
additional artifacts such as tools (i.e: osbuild-mpp) sources, stages, schemas
and SELinux policies.
For this reason, doing an installation from source is not trivial and the easier way to install it is to create the set of RPMs that contain all these components.
This can be done with the rpm make target, i.e:
make rpm
A set of RPMs will be created in the ./rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/ directory and can
be installed in the system using the distribution package manager, i.e:
sudo dnf install ./rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/*.rpm
