17.3.2 The config.xml File
All information about an image description is stored in the central configuration XML
file config.xml. Each time KIWI is executed, config.xml is validated against
an RELAX NG schema (see
about this schema language). Therefor it is recommended, to use a decent XML editor
with RELAX NG support or to use the documentation about the schema in the HTML
file /usr/share/doc/packages/kiwi/schema/kiwi.xsd.html.
The configuration file consists of several parts:
• some description about the author, contact information, and a short explanation.
• preferences option needed for the logical extent stage.
• information about the users, their name, their home directories, and their passwords.
• links to repositories.
• a list of packages that are used for the definied image type.
• and others, less important information which can be viewed in the above HTML
file of the RELAX NG schema documentation.
An skeleton of the file is shown in the following example:
