Andrea,
It sounds like we can just provide install= unconditionally, same as we currently do with ks=? We'd have to verify doing so doesn't cause any unintended side-effects for existing guest types.
I'd rather have it done in a more explicit way, just for the sake of someone else trying to debug / understand the code later on.
(Incidentally, didn't CentOS 8 also require passing the installation URL explicitly based on your tests, or something like that?
That's a different issue. :-) CentOS 8 explicitly requires the URL to be set in the kickstart file. That's another issue, to be solved another day ...
We need to get around to adding that OS to CI too at some point O:-)
... most likely when we add CentOS 8 VMs. :-)
An important question ... can't we have / use a CentOS 8 machine? Would be lovely to not have to work those issues around on lcitool.
I'd love that as well, but I'm afraid that's out of our hands since the CentOS CI machines are handled by the CentOS CI folks... We could try asking nicely and see what happens :) But in the short term having a workaround in lcitool is definitely the way to go.
I see.
