    An update that has four recommended fixes can now be installed.

    Description:


    This update provides KIWI v7.03.117, which brings several fixes and
    enhancements:

    - Do not include any suffix to the displayname value: If displayname
    attribute in the description file is used we should not include any kind
    of suffix to that value. With this patch the grub2 menu entry does not
    include the image type suffix if the displayname option is used.
    (bsc#1029904)

    - Fixed grub bootloader setup for ec2 firmware: In EC2, Xen is used but
    not detected as such by kiwi unless a domain configuration is provided
    in the image description. As this is a regression to the former
    behavior, this patch makes sure the bootloader setup is appropriate
    depending on the firmware set to ec2|ec2hvm. (bsc#1049178)

    - Fixed parameters passed to systemd calls, so that 'baseService
    nfs-server off` can be executed without issues. (bsc#1041815)

    - Fixed detection of Xen PV guest: The method isXen was used to check if
    the paravirtual kernel kernel-xen is used and if so it influences the
    setup of the bootloader. In newer versions there is no kernel-xen
    anymore and its capabilities were moved into the pvops kernel provided
    with the standard kernel-default package. Thus one kernel can now serve
    for pv, hvm and dom0 images. Because of that there is no other way than
    specifying the target Xen use case as part of the image description. The
    information can be provided in the doman setup of the machine
    configuration with:

    - domain="dom0"
    - domain="domU"
    - domain="domU-PV"

    The new domU-PV value allows to specify that this image is going to be
    used as a xen para virtual guest. The standard domU value will setup the
    bootloader in a way that it is usable as "real" bootloader in an hvmloader
    Xen guest. (bsc#1036198)
