[Bug 1330799] [NEW] No --log option with %post sections

[Hamilton Turner]

Public bug reported:

The %post section in RHEL has a --log option that kickseed does not
support. Oddly enough, there should be a generic warning printed about
this - kickseed/handlers/post.sh should pick up that --log is
unrecognized and call warn_getopt %post.

I don't see that warning being printed - perhaps it's not showing up in
/var/log/installer/syslog for some reason?

Just for future testing, here are some cases that don't work:

%post --nochroot --log=/target/test1.log
echo 'Hello, World'
%end

%post --nochroot --log=/test2.log
echo 'Hello, World'
%end

%post --log=/target/test3.log
echo 'Hello, World'
%end

%post --log=/test4.log
echo 'Hello, World'
%end

%post
exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3
chvt 3
echo
echo "################################"
echo "# Running Post Configuration   #"
echo "################################"
(
echo 'Hello, World!'
) 2>&1 | /usr/bin/tee /var/log/test5.log
chvt 1
%end

Also, the following does not work. I suspect I'm making some mistake
here, as this should work just fine with the current kickseed codebase
if I understand correctly. However this switching TTY stuff is new to
me, so perhaps I'm mistaking something

%post --nochroot
exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3
chvt 3
echo
echo "################################"
echo "# Running Post Configuration   #"
echo "################################"
(
echo 'Hello, World!'
) 2>&1 | /usr/bin/tee /target/test6.log
chvt 1
%end
