We added the DIB_distro_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR arguments with I92964b17ec3e47cf97e3a3091f054b2a205ac768 as a way that we could source a list of mirrors and then have the distro elements choose which one applied to them. However, this hasn't worked out to be so useful. The openstack-ci-mirrors element is working as a mirror setup script -- it translates the openstack CI mirror list variables into the generic "DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR" as appropriate for each distro's build. Also, it turns out there's other things that need to be done, such as turning off gpg checking, which mean the idea of "just export variables" hasn't turned out as valid ... you need actual code involved to get it right. AFAICT we never actually documented these, and they do not seem to be in use. They have caused considerable confusion when dealing with new platforms as we try to keep consistency. Remove them.

Image building tools for OpenStack
diskimage-builder is a flexible suite of components for
building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk
images for use with OpenStack.
This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.
For example:
$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntuwill create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2
image.
diskimage-builder is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the
components of TripleO that are
responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to
build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
