Rohit Yadav c9afa8e5b4 CLOUDSTACK-10013: Fix systemvmtemplate build failure 
This enables security updates in preseed file and removes purges
old kernel, and increases maximum /boot partition size. Build failures
were found due to insufficient space in /boot. Tested with packer+qemu
on Ubuntu 17.10.

Also silently remove xmas cloudstack cloudmonkey logo without hurting
anyone's sentiments (no monkeys were harmed in this commit ;).

Introduction

This is used to build appliances for use with CloudStack. Currently two build profiles are available for building systemvmtemplate (Debian based) and CentOS based built-in user VM template.

Setting up Tools and Environment

  • Install packer and latest KVM, qemu on a Linux machine

  • Install tools for exporting appliances: qemu-img, ovftool, faketime

  • Build and install vhd-util as described in build.sh or use pre-built binaries at:

    http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/vhd-util
http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/libvhd.so.1.0

How to build appliances

Just run build.sh, it will export archived appliances for KVM, XenServer, VMWare and HyperV in dist directory:

bash build.sh systemvmtemplate
bash build.sh builtin
