Changelog for kiwi-desc-isoboot-3.74-81.1.x86_64.rpm :
Wed Jul 28 14:00:00 2010 rschweikertAATTnovell.com
- Build packages for C-Class version 2 build

Tue Jul 20 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- added main::isize function to replace the use of
the -s operator. This is done because of SUSE Studio
which maps a file to a block special under certain
circumstances which causes -s to not work anymore

Thu Jul 15 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed race condition resulting at times in message of not
finding the MBR and other times not finding the CD drive.

Thu Jul 15 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed type in getDeployTimeout function

Tue Jul 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- remove unneeded initrd.vmx and linux.vmx files _before_
calling mkinitrd. This saves space to not run into a space
problem on the boot partition (bnc #621859)

Fri Jul 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- added volume label for recovery partition (bnc #618276)

Thu Jul 8 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- moved in-place recovery file creation into suse-dump
directly after the install verification (bnc #620777)

Thu Jul 8 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- added oem-inplace-recovery option which allows creation
of the recovery tarball at first deployment instead of
creating the tarball and store it inside the image (bnc #620777)

Thu Jul 8 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed this path evaluation (bnc #619482)

Fri Jun 11 14:00:00 2010 ugAATTsuse.de
- kiwi overwrites /etc/sysconfig/firstboot (bnc#604705)

Thu Jun 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- added oem-dumphalt element which reboots the system after
the image was dumped (installed) on the target device. A message
appears and the system waits for a key event before reboot

Mon Jun 7 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- setup xencons only for domU setup (bnc #561635)

Wed Jun 2 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed CDMountOption() to use blkid type check (bnc #610649)

Tue Jun 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- make sure boot image has enough space (bnc #610596)

Mon May 31 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- don\'t touch modules in updates and weak-updates (bnc #609879)

Tue May 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed clicfs resize operation. The command is now based
on a 512 byte sector size value instead of a 4k filesystem block
size value which might be wrong depending on the size of the
filesystem (bnc #604646)

Fri May 21 14:00:00 2010 ugAATTsuse.de
- fixes endless building problem if function
suseInsertService() is calling in config.sh and system/chroot contains a broken
/etc/init.d/ script.
(bnc #605981)

Tue May 18 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- use tar command to copy overlay files which is more
error prune than the cp command (bnc #476117)

Mon May 17 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- deactivate splash screen for initial deployment
in kiwi OEM boot images (bnc #600710)

Fri May 14 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- added support for displayname for vmx type (bnc #605939)

Tue May 11 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed space problem when setting up boot partition for
images which requires a separate boot partition which is
the case for filesystems like clicfs. This caused a wrong
copy of the initrd and prevents the system from being
able to reboot

Mon May 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- image size calculation fixes:

* fixed size calculation in KIWIBoot.pm which did not take
the journal size into account

* minimum journal size set to 12 MB

* spare space set to 1.5 (former 1.3)

* min inode count is twice times the file count
All this is for bug (bnc #587361)

Fri May 7 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed old live iso type (no flags set) to work again.
The problem was that we prevent --follow-symlinks in this
mode but then we also have to copy the fixed read-write
part as file to the iso structure instead of linking it.
This fix is related to (bnc #599712)

Fri May 7 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed mkinitrd call, check if the option -B exists and
don\'t pass it if it doesn\'t (bnc #603338)

Wed Apr 28 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- don\'t use --follow-symlinks for iso type if old live iso
style is in use (bnc #599712)

Thu Apr 22 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed use of type option in mke2fs. The option -t should
be used because -T has a different meaning and causes other
options to be ignored

Thu Apr 15 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- changed info module to print XML output

Thu Apr 15 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de

KIWILinuxRC is sourced from the shell

Wed Mar 24 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de
- added bootnext program which implements a small boot loader
needed for the \'boot from hard disk\' menu entry on usb media.

the examples. remove --noscripts for deleting packages
this could cause files to stay in the system which has
a bad impact core utilities like mkinitrd. If for example
busybox is uninstalled without calling the postscript
the mkinitrd setup links will stay as broken links and
cause mkinitrd to stop working (bnc #570948)

Thu Jan 14 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de

Tue Nov 24 13:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed root tree creation build inconsistencies due to missing
libraries at the beginning of the root tree creation. Any glibc
linked program uses /etc/nsswitch.conf and from there requires
/lib(64)/libnss
* libraries to do user/group to id resolution.
If the operation happens chrooted, the libs needs to be there.
The fix will install the glibc package which provides these
libraries in a $root/baselibs directory first and moves them
to $root. After that process the package manager is again called
to install the bootstrap listed packages follewed by the rest
of the specified packages (bnc #536256)

Mon Nov 23 13:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de

Thu Nov 12 13:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- remove pivot root calls (old code) and changed preinit
handling to let preinit run like init. If preinit runs the
kernel already knows the system image root as / and preinit
always ends with exec init (bnc #521456)

Wed Nov 11 13:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed exit code evaluation in Dialog function. The value of the
evaluated exit code was undefined because it depended on which
subshell finished first. The solution is to prevent parameter
subshells when building the dialog parameterlist (bnc #547864)

Mon Nov 9 13:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed spec file for s390 architecture

Fri Nov 6 13:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de

file is now written to /tmp to avoid writing into read-only
filesystem (bnc #552617)

Wed Nov 4 13:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- added missing usb host controller module (ohci) to all
boot image descriptions except vmxboot which doesn\'t need it

only without calling the post scripts of installed RPM\'s

Wed Oct 28 13:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- OEM recover/repair

* make sure RPM database will be preserved

Tue Oct 27 13:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- offer only languages for selection which are part of the
initrd. The element defines which locales and
translations are part of the initrd. If only one language
is available no selection dialog will be opened

- recovery mode (bnc #546057):

* throw reboot exception if backup files can\'t be created

* create backup files for files in recovery.tar.gz only

Wed Oct 21 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- use cmp to compare files first before diffing them. Prevent
second find call for backup files. This increases the recovery
performance in repair mode. Additionally write backup diffs
to /tmp/backup (bnc #546057)

Tue Oct 20 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- added support for lang and keytable in cmdline. Support is
only available with the gfxboot code from >= 11.2 (bnc #547915)
- changed fbiterm return code evaluation. Echo the return code
from the last instead of relying to the exit code of the
fbiterm terminal (bnc #547864)

- prevent automatic CD eject on kiwi install. If the tray is
blocked (some servers hide their drives behind doors) the boot
CD/DVD with the OEM image ends up back in the machine. Therefore
we open a popup window asking to user to remove the install
media before continuing

Mon Oct 12 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed error log switch in Echo function
- fixed clicfs usage for vmx,oem and usbboot. Needs the same

- added boot timer for kiwi boot images like the kernel does

Wed Oct 7 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- improved umount code for auto mount of removable storage
devices. The function umountDevice() takes over the task
of umounting all filesystems associated with the given
device

which should add an acceptable level of
security (bnc #536309)

Thu Sep 3 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- allow NBDROOT to be set via kernel cmdline (bnc #536309)
- fixed satplugin getInstallList() function, did not allocate
enough space to hold the package size. This causes the buffer
overflow inside the binding. Also added the flags
- D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector to build the same
binding binary as if kiwi is build inside the BS. Also
fixed the spec file and removed the versioned requires of
satsolver-tools (bnc #532894)

Wed Sep 2 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- added encoding information to all templates

- restructured oem repartition code to allow use of parted.
parted does not allow to create custom partition id\'s they
are the result of a sequence of subsequently created partitions.
parted implementation will follow soon

*
boolean attributes

be found the function defaults to license.txt and if that file
also doesn\'t exist it defaults to EULA.txt (bnc #530497)

Fri Aug 14 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed main::mount() method, setup of umountStack was wrong
now using mount destination for umount not source

a read/write medium the isoboot code will search for a 0x83
partition used for writing OS data (bnc #496505)

Fri Jul 31 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- v3.67

a complete implementation so far, just a first start (bnc #505782)
- added basic support for LUKS extension for vmx image type
- fixed inclusion of custom tar archives if the image
description provides only a bootstrap section like the
isoboot data does

Mon Jun 22 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- v3.60

element. This can be used to include custom branding without
special branding packages. This can also be used to include
any kind of data without the need for a package (bnc #515573)
- added virtio kernel modules to boot images (bnc #515543)
- improved support for obtaining XML information (bnc #513093)
- don\'t remove libx
*, 11.2 hwinfo is linked against libx86emu
- don\'t remove mkfs/fsck links, just a cleanup fix
- the inode issue comes back to haunt us yet again. The last go
around actually made things
*worse
* for things like vmdk that
allocate large disks, since 2x the number of files is probably
much smaller than the \'automatic\' calculation used for a disk of
that size. The attached patch fixes this by removing the
- -fs-numinodes option (which is useless, IMHO) and replaces it
with --fs-inoderatio. Kiwi will assume 16k for inode ratio if
not otherwise specified. We use the ratio to determine the number
of inodes, unless it is a smaller value than num_files
*2.

- removed useless setValidateRepositoryType method
- add support for xml file logging. This allows to keep
track on the temporary changes kiwi makes in the XML
description caused by for example commandline options
- fixed clone to search in default image path if source
is specified as relative path

Tue Jun 9 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de
- v3.57
- fixed kernel/initrd links in setupSUSEInitrd (bnc #507261)

- fixed clicfs mount over AOE,NBD (bnc #504652)
- fixed volid setup in case of spaces (bnc #500501)
- allow inclusion of boot image packages specified inside
the system image description. This feature is used to setup
branding packages which needs to be installed as part of
the boot image (initrd) (bnc #497888)
- rewrote KIWIIsoLinux.pm to allow bit/tri arch boot media
the code has not been tested for efi or ikr due to lack of
such machines (bnc #478991)
- fixed/changed clicfs over NFS use. When using a clicfs
image it\'s required that the clicfs filesystem is mounted

to set the option --target-arch to one of the following
values: i586, x86_64, armv5tel or ppc. This option should be
used for building cross arch images. Please note:
- -

* Installing packages for another than the build machines
architecture additionally requires an environment setup which
allows running binaries of that architecture.

* One approach to do this is to use QEMU in user mode. Just copy
the static qemu binaries from /usr/bin/qemu
* into the root/usr/bin
directory of your image description. Last step before calling
qemu is to run the /usr/sbin/qemu-binfmt-conf.sh script to
prepare the environment

KIWIBoot.pm and in linuxrc are now possible with parted. Even
though there is one exception which is the oemboot linuxrc.
the repartition code in this boot code is still based on fdisk.
All changes required due to bug (bnc #413637)

if kiwi operation doesn\'t take place in a screen session. Last
part of the fix is related to (bnc #420320)

device when oemboot starts the repartitioning of the device
on first boot. The change requires the edd module to be present

by autobuild team (mls,jcborn)

Fri Sep 5 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de

- Patch by Peter Bowen which causes zypper to use a private
copy of zypp.conf (rather than the host system copy) and
provides an interface to modify the config file.
- Patch by Peter Bowen which allows automatic exclusion of
documentation during install. Smart and zypper both support
setting options that pass the right flag to rpm on the
backend.

- fixed adapter type detection in KIWIBoot (bnc #417461)
- fixed use of package manager cache. kiwi uses a global cache
for building now. This is below /var/cache/kiwi/.
The package manager data is temporarly bind mounted into the
image root system for any package manager operation.
This allows a faster processing within the second stage of
the image preparation and also alows re-use of already
downloaded remote packages (bnc #417457)
- changed locking process due to cache handling changes.
This is related to (bnc #417457)

Mon Aug 11 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de

- removed guest configuration attributes from section
and add new main sections for VMware -> and
for Xen -> . This change requires a new scheme
version 2.4 and the xsl stylesheet convert20to24.xsl. The
conversion will _not_ add one of the new xen|vmareconfig
sections but removes the invalid VM configuration related
attributes from the packages sections (bnc #397528)

Mon Jun 30 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- v2.48

during netboot deployment in setupSUSEInitrd (bnc #398515)

Thu Jun 5 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed mountSystemUnified: read/write part is ext3 now
- code cleanup: put all bootloader related kiwi module code
into the functions: setupBootLoaderStages setupBootLoaderConfiguration
and installBootLoader. This happened to be able to include
new bootloader types more easily

Thu Jun 5 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed smart call in setupSignatureCheck (bnc #397365)

Wed Jun 4 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed isolinux text boot message (bnc #396759)

Tue Jun 3 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- added support for splashy. To activate it replace the
packages bootsplash and bootsplash-(branding|theme)-
* with
the package: splashy in your boot image description. Also make
sure the package pcre stays in the boot image it\'s required
for splashy. At the moment we stick to the old bootsplash
system by default

Tue Jun 3 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- added getDiskID function which is able to turn a given
standard device name into the udev ID based representation.
The function is currently not used but will be in the future

Tue Jun 3 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- added checkmedia support for iso images. kiwi will sign each iso
with an md5sum using the tagmedia program. If the option --isocheck
is specified when calling the create step an additional boot
menu entry is created which allows to check the media

Sat May 31 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed USB stick identification code

Fri May 30 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- make kiwi build on all archs. This does _not_ mean it
has full functionality on other archs than ix86 and x86_64
Support for other archs is still work in progress !
- fixed find command in baseSetupPlainTextGITRepository
- create generic bootloader functions which calls specific
bootloader code according to the architecture. At the moment
only x
*86 and x86_64 have code for it
- fixed grub title setup if multiple kernels are installed

Thu May 29 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- make NFSROOT work together with UNIONFS_CONFIG. The read-only
device in the UNIONFS_CONFIG setup will be replaced by the
nfs mount options. According to this the follwing UNIONFS_CONFIG
setup would be sufficient: UNIONFS_CONFIG=/dev/ram1,nfs,aufs
- if NFSROOT is used in combination with UNIONFS_CONFIG or
COMBINED_IMAGE mount the remote root tree read-only

Thu May 29 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- better NFSROOT fix which fixes kiwiMount to work
when kiwiMount is set. This is required in case of a
non standard mount operation which also makes sense
for root over NFS (example COMBINED_IMAGE over nfs)
- update documentation:

* added a chapter how to build appliances with kiwi

Wed May 28 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- don\'t call kiwiMount function if NFSROOT is used

Wed May 28 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- fixed blocks/blocksize value used if the remote image is
compressed. Normally this information was created from the
uncompressed image but if the download happens on a compressed
file the values should also be available for this file.
Detailed information can be found here: (bnc #387228)
- fixed NFSROOT mount. NFS mount will fail if the -t auto mount
option is set. The fix makes sure FSTYPE=nfs is set before
mounting.

Fri May 23 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- added sense code checking for CD/DVD drives (bnc #390934)
The required driveready application is part of the kiwi-tools
packages. Therefore this fix applies to >= suse-11.0. For older
versions the wait counter has been increased.
- fixed SaT solvable creation (bnc #393495)

Fri May 23 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- added baseStripUnusedLibs functions to reduce initrd size
- removed unused network modules from vmxboot and oemboot
- removed support for reiserfs starting from suse-10.3 vmx/oemboot
- added oem-recovery element to support recovery of a damaged
root tree. This is still work in progress

Wed May 21 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- added id attribute. The optional attribute id allows to
set an identification number which appears as file /etc/ImageID
within the image

Wed May 21 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- added optional kiwirevision attribute. The optional attribute
kiwirevision allows to specify a kiwi SVN revision number which is
known to build a working image from this description. If the kiwi
SVN revision is less than the specified value the
process will exit.

Tue May 20 14:00:00 2008 msAATTsuse.de
- remove temporary .buildenv file after prepare (bnc #392054)

- v2.18
- fixed oemboot boot image descriptions for SLE10 (#355963)

the boot catalog is in one of the first sectors. Unfortunately
mkisofs places it somewhere which may lead to boot problems on
some (not all) hardware. The relocation code will move the boot
catalog to the first possible sector
- added post partition size check for virtual disk images. Due to
alignment effects a partition may be smaller than the image it should
store. The added size check in KIWIBoot.pm repeats the partition
setup until the image fits in

- fixed KIWILog.pm: Don\'t open huge amounts of redundant file
descriptors (#353610)
- added option --prechroot-call. If specified within --prepare
this option allows you to name a program which is called before
the switch into the chroot system happens and the second phase of
the prepare call starts.
- moved depmod call to suseStripKernel function

the mentioned programs in busybox.links by a link to the
busybox binary. This function should be used in boot images
only and can reduce the size of your boot image. Using this
function requires the package busybox to be installed as
part of the boot image config.xml (#349181)

- v1.95
- fixed oemboot repartition code for small disks
- fixed oemboot fstab setup to check whether there is already
a non empty /home directory which would become covered by
the mount of the extra home partition. If such a /home directory
exists we will prevent the partition from being mounted
automatically
- patch by Nat Friedman which adds an argument
to kiwi, --ignore-repos, which causes Kiwi to Ignore all repositories
specified so-far, in XML or otherwise. This option should be used in
conjunction with subsequent calls to --add-repo to specify repositories
at the command-line that override previous specifications.
- patch by Nat Friedman which makes Kiwi\'s log files
include seconds, which is very useful when you\'re optimizing.

Wed Nov 21 13:00:00 2007 msAATTsuse.de
- v1.94
- added option --createhash to create a description md5sum
- added md5 based integrity check for image descriptions. As
soon as the file .checksum.md5 exists in the image directory
it will be used to check the md5 hash for all files listed in
the md5 file. Kiwi creates by default checksums for all boot
images

more space than calculated before (#342604)

Sun Nov 18 13:00:00 2007 msAATTsuse.de
- use default block size for mksquashfs call. This also means
you can\'t use squashfs compressed images in ramdisk devices
without the following patch:

As it is more important to have best compression results I reverted
the blocksize option for mksquashfs. This is related to bug (#341909)

Wed Nov 14 13:00:00 2007 msAATTsuse.de
- v1.88
- enhanced base-root support to be able to choose two modes. The mode
can be set by --base-root-mode and allows the values \"union\" or \"copy\".
The union type is the already existing overlay support by mounting a
readonly base tree together with a new image tree. The second and new
mode is the copy mode which tar/untar the base root tree instead
of using an overlay mount via aufs. The default mode is: copy

- fixed splitPathHTTP which fails if the base URL doesn\'t return a
dir listing but something different. Fixed by Jan too
- check result of copying root/ data to image (#339814)
- added read-only check for mounting the repositories. If a
repository path has no write permissions it doesn\'t make sense to
use aufs/unionfs to implement a read-only mount. Use bind mount
directly in that situation (#339503)
- use setctsid to call a systemException shell. Fix call of
boot shell on /dev/tty2
- aufs back again in SUSE 11.0 :-)
- allow use of perl debugger

Mon Nov 5 13:00:00 2007 msAATTsuse.de
- v1.82
- optional split section added by James Willcox
The following applies to the new split image type:
- --snip---
In the new split image type, files/directories can exist in one
of three places:
1) read-only disk area
2) read-write disk area
3) tmpfs
By default, every directory is in tmpfs and every file is a symbolic
link to the read-only location. The patch I have attached allows you to
specify which files/directories should be in one of the two other
locations. For instance, take the following:









This would copy /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab to tmpfs and put /boot in the
read-write disk area. Note, however, that none of the files

* within
* /boot are affected. They remain symbolic links to the real
files in the read-only area. The main advantage to putting just a
directory in the read-write area is that any new files created there are
stored on the disk instead of tmpfs. Of course files can be specified
here too, and wildcards are allowed. Example:







*\"/>


This time, all files and directories within /boot are copied to the
read-write disk image as well.
The \'split\' information is optional. When left out, no read-write disk
image is produced since everything is either read-only or on tmpfs in
that case.

- added support for kiwibrokenmodule kernel parameter. A list
of comma seperated modules which should _not_ become loaded
even if they are selected to get loaded (#337545)
- added support for kiwinoswapsearch kernel parameter. If set
the isoboot (live systems) boot image will not setup a swap
space or swap file (#337533)
- added cleanLoop function for KIWIBoot objects. clean loop
and device mapper setup in case of an interrupt signal
- fixed interrupt signal handling (#337009)
- added option --prebuiltbootimage which allows to specify another
than the default search path for the pre-built boot images
- added option --listxmlinfo which prints information from
config.xml. Right now this function is used for internal reasons
only but can be enhanced to print more useful information
- fixed use of --logfile option
- using new split image system by James Willcox
Thanks James, great job !
- --snip---
The split image type has changed:
Given a read-only image, a tarball of directories and symbolic
links is created which mirrors the structure of the read-only image.
The symbolic link for each file points to the location where the
read-only image will be mounted. For instance, /usr/lib/libfoo.so
will be a link to /read-only/usr/lib/libfoo.so. After creating this
tarball, it is placed in the read-only image at /rootfs.tar.bz2.
At mount time, this tarball is unpacked into a tmpfs and used as the
root filesystem. The advantage of this approach over a typical \'split\'
filesystem is that new files can be created in every directory
instead of just a few pre-defined toplevel trees.
This patch also goes one level further and separates some directories
(/etc, /root, /home, /var/lib/rpm) to be put onto a separate read-write
image. The advantage of this is that when deployed onto a diskful
machine, any files created in those trees will be stored on the disk
instead of tmpfs. We may want to have a way for images to specify those
paths directly instead of having a hard-coded list.
Secondly, the patch adds a hook mechanism to the netboot script. With
this, custom images can get their own script code executed at various
points. This is great if, for instance, you need to conditionally load
kernel modules with specific parameters. It can be used by simply
creating a file like /hooks/.sh with the custom bits inside.
These scripts are sourced from the init script so they have access to
the same variables/functions.

Thu Oct 25 14:00:00 2007 msAATTsuse.de
- v1.77
- fixed exit code of kiwi call. Some module destructors call
external processes which causes the exit code to be the value
of this process, which is apparently wrong. (#336734)
- added support for pre-built boot images. To enable the lookup
one had to specify the attribute checkprebuilt=\"true\" within the
type section(s). If specified the prebuilt boot image must reside
in /usr/share/kiwi/image/
*boot/
*-prebuilt/. The search is based
on the boot=\"...\" attribute given in the type section (#334475)
- moved call of config.sh at the end of all configurations
- moved in place repo code into extra function called
baseSetupInPlaceSVNRepository. This function can be called
on demand in config.sh with the directories the repo should
take control over as function arguments

patches. In case kiwi directly writes the system image data onto
a device mapper partition the md5 file needs to be created
afterwards (#337096)

port number 9000. One can change the port by setting
our $LogServerPort = ... in $HOME/.kiwirc. The server runs
as long as kiwi runs and accept a small set of commands.
Right now only the server is there but no commands exists.
This will follow the next days.

linuxrc to allow changing the image file name via kernel
option. Patch by Christoph Thiel
- Currently when KIWI writes out the image config file for netboot, it
sometimes gets the partition size wrong for partitions that are marked
to be just big enough for the image. Patched by
James Willcox
- added experimental callSUSEInitrdScripts to KIWILinuxRC.sh
The function is not called right now but should be in the
future to ensure a better pre-init environment for SUSE
based systems. This is related to missing udev support
and bootsplash problems during boot

installed by oemboot
- fixed virtual disk size calculation if squashfs is used
- don\'t throw a reboot exception in mountSystem but return
with code 1 to allow caller to check the return value
- added support for $HOME/.kiwirc file. It\'s perl syntax and

/usr/share/kiwi is used for $BasePath and /usr/share/kiwi/image
is used for $System (#308597)
- use correct passwd and group template file of the

- added call of posbios if installed to obtain BIOS information
uploaded into the registry file while a new network client is
registered
- added kernelCheck for installed and active kernel in
netboot boot image, suse-linuxrc
- added image notification if a new image is installed on the
client via PXE in the netboot boot image, suse-linuxrc
- added support for base image usage. This means you can use
the contents of a given directory as the base image instead of
starting with a clean and empty directory. kiwi will use the
overlay technique with either aufs or unionfs to build the
target directory as combination of the base (--base-root) image
and a new image directory optionally specified with the --root
option. As result the image root directory will contain only a
part of the complete image which is the data not part of the
base image or the data which has been touched/copied. In
principal all copy-on-write actions within the combined filesystem
causes data to be written in the image root directory. base
image support works for the prepare and create steps of kiwi

Wed Sep 12 14:00:00 2007 msAATTsuse.de
- show the output of --list-profiles in a nicer format
- added installed OS version check for oemboot
- added revision information to kiwi --version

mount failed, try to check filesystem, if next mount failed
re-create the write filesystem of the unified tree
- added support for unified virtual disk images to oemboot.
In this case the kiwi initrd will not be replaced by the
distribution default initrd
- added additional patternPackageType attribute which allows
to distinguish between pattern and package references of a
specified pattern. For example one can use only required
patterns with patternType=\"onlyRequired\" but want to use
all suggested packages of these required packages with
patternPackageType=\"plusSuggested\" (#309989)
- added support for USB install sticks.
- fixed USB stick search, check if device is active
- added CRNAME and IPADDR values to upload file

CD when installation has finished

Mon Sep 10 14:00:00 2007 msAATTsuse.de
- v1.64
- changed KIWIPattern.pm to know about compressed patterns. With 10.3
the yast2 repositories provides compressed meta and pattern files
- changed oemboot repartition code to use the same default
partition names than netboot does. This means the partition
are as follows: root -> xda2 / swap -> xda1 / home -> xda3
- make use of the profile mode and added a default and a xen
profile into the netboot boot images. According to this the
xennetboot boot images can be removed and are replaced by the
new netboot boot image descriptions. To distinguish between
a netboot with default or Xen kernel a new attribute called
bootprofile has been implemented. By default the attribute will
have the value \"default\" but this can be overwritten with
another bootprofile attribute of a system image with \"pxe\"
image type. Instead of boot=xennetboot/suse-... write
boot=netboot/suse-... bootprofile=\"xen\"

- v1.61
- changed default NBD device to be /dev/nb0
- added support for NBD swap space if NBDROOT is used. Patch by
Jigish Gohil
- added oemboot description for suse-10.3
- implemented the previous system installer code from isoinstboot
into oemboot. The mechanism is based on a virtual disk image
created before. Using the kiwi call:
kiwi --bootcd --bootcd-system
will create an ISO image which serves as installation media.
Burned on a CD or DVD one can boot from it and the oemboot initrd
automatically will install the disk image on the disk. Please note
like before with isoinstboot all data on the disk will be lost.
The system will be rebooted automatically and the same oemboot initrd
takes care for the initial boot of the virtual disk system image.
The oemboot initrd will adapt the disk geometry to the real disk
and will boot into the system.
- added oemboot installcd documentation
- added patch by Cornelius Schumacher
which allows optional remove of root directory

- added patch by James Willcox which implements
profile support into kiwi\'s config.xml format

*
*
* description
*
*
*
*
It allows you to maintain one image description while
still allowing for some variation in the set of packages and drivers
that are included. For instance, a good use of profiles would be to
have a \'gnome\' and \'kde\' profile for a LiveCD. The patch adds two new
command line arguments to kiwi: --list-profiles and --add-profile.

* The first allows you to simply list the profiles available in a given
image. Each one has a name and description.

* The second option allows you to specify which profiles should be
included when preparing the image.
The other part of the patch modifies the config.xml and the code
which reads it. You can now use the following to create a set of
profiles in config.xml:





To mark a set of packages as belonging to a profile, simply annotate
the \'packages\' tag with the \'profiles\' attribute. For example,

...

If a given set of packages belongs to more than one profile, separate
them with a comma. Example:

...

If a \'packages\' tag has no \'profile\' attribute, it is assumed to be
present for all profiles. BTW, all of the above also goes for the
\'drivers\' tag too.

temporary overwrite of the first repository entry within the
config.xml file.
- added possibility to include multiple type sections into
the preferences section of the config.xml file. There should
be one primary type which is used if no other type was selected
with the option --type. If there is no primary attribute the
first type specified is the primary type

linuxrc files. Removed readFileSystem function from
KIWILinuxRC.sh

Mon May 7 14:00:00 2007 msAATTsuse.de

These images could use a foreign repository for building but
could also have additional repos in its configuration. To handle
them correctly a status attribute with either \"replaceable\" or
\"fixed\" determines wheter this repository could be replaced
by a foreign node or not. Default for this option attribute
is \"fixed\"

Wed Apr 4 14:00:00 2007 msAATTsuse.de

Thu Mar 22 13:00:00 2007 msAATTsuse.de
- v1.19
- added support for squashfs/unionfs by James Willcox
the main point is to add support for squashfs/unionfs images.
Using squashfs is straightforward -- just set \'squashfs\' as the
image type. Using unionfs is a little trickier, and only netboot
is supported currently. You need to add something like
UNIONFS_CONFIG=/dev/hda2,/dev/hda3 to config. where the first
partition is the writable one (where an ext2 filesystem will
be created), and the second is the read-only filesystem (squashfs,
cramfs, whatever).

a good idea to refer to the machines filesystem structure. Therefore
all meta data must be present in the image preparation (chroot)
directory

each group contains its own linuxrc/preinit files to which
the images of the group create a link to. This will reduce
the overhead of same linuxrc/preinit files for each image
- update documentation

displayed while downloading the image. If there is not enough
space the download will not start

Sat Oct 28 14:00:00 2006 msAATTsuse.de
- creating an ISO image requires kiwi to implicitly create a boot
image which is copied on the CD. It is very important that the
kernel of the image and the boot image is the same. According to
this I changed the code to use the same information
for the boot image as it was used during prepare of the main image.
The additional meta information is stored in
image-root/image/main::Prepare

data and the second contains the ReadOnly data according to
current FHS. Each image can have its own filesystem which
means you can put the ReadOnly part into a compressed filesystem
as well. Disadvantage of such an image is that it requires a
boot infrastructure to become activated.
