The weldr API for building OSTree based images is extended to optionally take an url parameter instead of the current parent.
The parent parameter contains the OSTree commit SHA of the parent commit when building an update commit. Obtaining this is cumbersome, so instead the url of the repository containing the desired parent commit can be specified. In this case, composer will take the current HEAD of the given ref as the parent.
At most one of parent and url can be specified in a given compose request.
Before:
curl --silent \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--unix-socket /run/weldr/api.socket \
http://localhost/api/v1/compose \
--data "{ \
\"blueprint_name\": \"foo\", \
\"compose_type\": \"rhel-edge-commit\", \
\"ostree\": {\ \
\"parent\": \"b8a69e5c79be5830bb272356809a52b1660d2013c26f6973d549d0a312a8d21a\", \
\"ref\": \"fedora/stable/x86_64/iot\" \
} \
}"
After:
curl --silent \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--unix-socket /run/weldr/api.socket \
http://localhost/api/v1/compose \
--data "{ \
\"blueprint_name\": \"foo\", \
\"compose_type\": \"rhel-edge-commit\", \
\"ostree\": {\ \
\"url\": \"https://d2ju0wfl996cmc.cloudfront.net/\", \
\"ref\": \"fedora/stable/x86_64/iot\" \
} \
}"
