images: Clear out some stuff that no longer used.

Now that initrds are generated via dracut, there is no need to prepare kernel modules.
This sadly removes support for passing in a kernel rpm file, but such is life.

(recompress_modules) kill it as we do not need anymore to recompress

2012-02-15T06:13:06+00:00

modules as XZ (since kernel now compress them with XZ)

(remove_unneeded_modules) search for .xz extension instead of .gz

(extract_installed_rpm,recompress_modules) recompress gz modules as XZ

2012-01-20T19:12:24+00:00

(make_modules_per_image) adapt

embed all firmwares that are needed by the modules we embed

2009-09-09T17:50:59+00:00

drop last bits of MandrivaMove support

2009-03-30T14:54:55+00:00

do not copy modules.description to topdir (for future depmod call to succeed)

2008-02-11T22:49:17+00:00

- update_kernel: now require install rpms or rpm files as arguments

2007-08-09T10:45:56+00:00

  (this allow specifying precisely which installed kernels are used)

nb:
- RPMS/ is not used anymore, pkgs given an command line are installed directly in all.kernels/
- RPMS/.main is replaced by all.kernels/.list which keeps the ordering of kernels given to update_kernel

drop support from taking kernel from $repository (was deprecated)
