Hi,

The current method of using a shell script as the hook script means that
a lot of logic about the setup of the live environment has to be handled
by live-wrapper, where a tool like ansible can already do these things.

Instead of trying to implement logic for configuring the live
environments, just let ansible do it.

Thanks,
Iain.

Hi,

Ok, here are my thoughts on this:

Add an option to lwr, something like --ansible <playbook>, that causes a
hook script to be run that does:

  * mount_support
  * disable daemons in the chroot
  * prepare_apt_source
  * create an ansible inventory containing a single host
    where ansible_host is set to the rootdir (passed as the
    first argument to the hook script) and use connection
    type of chroot - the alias should probably be "live" or
    something known so it can be used in the playbook
  * run the ansible playbook passing in the inventory
  * remove_daemon_block
  * replace_apt_source
  * blacklist_qemu_bochs (this is only really needed for qemu efi - should
    investigate this futher)

This actually shouldn't be too hard. The blends-images package can then be a
series of ansible playbooks and bootloader configs as jinja2 templates
(#808557) which will be consistent with any templates used as part of the
ansible playbook.

Thanks,
Iain.
