This script installs base OS RPMs into chroot-dev target-disk (previously configured by the DiskSetup.sh and mounted by the MkChrootTree.sh scripts)

./OSpackages.sh [GNU long option] [option] ...
Usage: ./OSpackages.sh [GNU long option] [option] ...
  Options:
        -a  List of repository-names to activate
              Default activation: BaseOS,AppStream,extras
        -g  RPM-group to intall (default: "core")
        -h  Print this message
        -m  Where to mount chroot-dev (default: "/mnt/ec2-root")
        -M  File containing list of RPMs to install
        -r  List of repo-def repository RPMs or RPM-URLs to install
        --help              See "-h" short-option
        --mountpoint        See "-m" short-option
        --pkg-manifest      See "-M" short-option
        --rpm-group         See "-g" short-option
        --repo-activation   See "-a" short-option
        --repo-rpms         See "-r" short-option

Each of the functionality flag-options may also be specified by using environment variables:

  • CHROOTMNT: Stands in for the -m/--mountpoint flag-option. This env (or corresponding flags) is only necessary if the corresponding flag was used to override the MkChrootTree.sh script's default behavior.
  • OSREPOS: Stands in for the -a/--repo-activation flag-option. Primarily for use with private repositories. Specify a comma-delimted list of logical repository-names to activate.
  • REPORPMS:Stands in for the -r/--repo-rpms flag-option. Primarily for use with private repositories. Specify a comma-delimted list of repository-definition RPMs (or URLs to same) to install.
  • RPMFILE: Stands in for the -M/--pkg-manifest flag-option. Primarily used for highly-customized builds or with private repositories that don't have standard RPM-group metadata available. Not yet implemented or tested.
  • RPMGRP: Stands in for the -g/--rpm-group flag-option. Primarily used when trying to build non-"Core" AMIs (only minimally tesed).

Further, additional output/logging can be generated by setting the DEBUG environment variable to "true". Doing so causes information that is normally only directed to syslog to also be printed to STDOUT.

Notes:

1If invoking scripts interactively, the DEBUG value is automatically set to true.
