Move dib-run-parts from dib-utils into diskimage-builder directly. For calling outside the chroot, we provide a standard entry-point script. However, as noted in the warning comment, the underlying script is still copied directly into the chroot by the dib-run-parts element. I believe this to be the KISS approach. This removes the dependency on dib-utils. We have discussed this previously and nobody seemed to think retiring dib-utils was going to be an issue. This also updates the documentation to not mention dib-utils, or using disk-image-create via $PATH setup, but rather gives instructions on installing from pip with a virtualenv.

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 ubuntu
will 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.
