Mon Jan 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for firmware=\"uefi\" attribute. In contrast to the standard firmware=\"efi\" support, kiwi will not create its own efi boot images but uses the shim and the signed bootloader modules as they are provided by the packages.
Sun Jan 27 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - Implement KIWIXMLPXEDeployConfigData + supports multiple declarations of + remove confArch, confDest, and confSource from KIWIXMLPXEDeployData and encapsulate in this new object - Integrate KIWIXMLPXEDeployConfigData into XML + hold array of KIWIXMLPXEDeployConfigData and enforce child relationship to KIWIXMLPXEDeployData indirectly - Implement proper default processing for partition definitions in KIWIXMLPXEDeployData + previously the default setting were applied in the XML in the old data model. In the new data model all default are known only to the type encapsulating the data - Eliminate all *PXEDeploy *_legacy methods from XML class + update client code to use new data model provided objects - Eliminate all calls to _legacy in the PXE image creation code path - Implement new tests and update existing tests as necessary + new tests for new class + update tests for default values + new tests for default settings + eliminate _legacy tests for PXEDeploy
Sat Jan 26 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed hybrid iso search to respect partition devices and prefer them over the entire disk device. Additionally don\'t set a loop on the found device anymore which was used to workaround the busy state set by the kernel.
Sat Jan 26 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of undefined value as an ARRAY reference in KIWIXML::getUsers() method
Sat Jan 26 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make grub2 search more robust by searching for a flag file named like the unique ID used in the ISO header or MBR. This completes (bnc #799488)
Sat Jan 26 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure grub2/grub2-efi are part of the isoboot initrd
Fri Jan 25 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed grub2 prefix and root variable setup (bnc #799488) - fixed layout of iso\'s and also make sure fixCatalog() is called
Fri Jan 25 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - enhanced isohybrid call to know about --uefi option. Creating an EFI capable hybrid iso requires the new isohybrid tool including patches by Steffen Winterfeldt as well as a correctly prepared ISO to write the information. This commit is only about calling isohybrid whereas the last commits was about preparation of the iso itself
Fri Jan 25 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - Remove getEc2Config_legacy method from XML + Change client code to use new getEC2Config method and work with the returned EC2ConfigData object - Change getDisplayName implementation in XML + Use data from the new data structure to return the name - Reorder some operations in the EC2 image creation step + Facilitate early exit by first checking the architecture + Eliminate all _lgacy calls from this code path + Move variable initialization closer to the place where the values are used + Handle all AWS account stuff towards the end of the method, when we need the information, as this is not treated as an error anyway - Fix link in documentation + The repo for the EC2 tools moved from Virtualization:/Cloud to Cloud:/
Thu Jan 24 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - support the profiles attribute for user definitions at the \"group\" level (bnc #77152)
* implement new tests
* update consistency checks
Thu Jan 24 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added the firmware type \'vboot\' to support creation of images for arm based boards using google\'s chrome OS boot style
Wed Jan 23 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - prepare ISO images in a way that allows hybrid ISO\'s which boot via EFI. There is some magic involved here and we are still not there. In order to make it work it\'s required to have two iso meta data blocks whereas one is used as real iso header providing boot entries for syslinux and efi-boot as well as the optional legacy bios based partition table for hybrids and the other one is used to place a gpt partition table to allow this iso to be seen as a disk when booting it as disk over EFI
Wed Jan 23 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - removed support for openSUSE 11.4
Wed Jan 23 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for openSUSE 12.3
Wed Jan 23 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - update the extra examples + support 12.2 and 12.3 + remove 11.4 + add min-gnome as SLES example
Tue Jan 22 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix the UserData tests broken by previous update adding merge code
Tue Jan 22 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement a merge method that supports the merge of user data
Tue Jan 22 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for EFI in live ISO images. In order to create a syslinux plus EFI (grub2) live ISO use the following type hybrid support for EFI live ISO\'s requires the new isohybrid tool which could also write a gpt into the isoheader.
Mon Jan 21 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix architecture handling for ProductPackages, allow a comma separated list of architectures
Mon Jan 21 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - removed __checkNoProfsBootstrapPackages check. It\'s allowed to have profiles specified in the bootstrap packages. There are image descriptions which installs the entire system by bootstrap packages. Reason for this is if the packagemanager in the image is not compatible to the implementation in kiwi e.g SLE10. Other than that we officially support bootstrap only installation including all features of \'image\' typed package sections.
Mon Jan 21 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - allow archives in the bootsrap section to allow build of images of older distributions
Sun Jan 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of sat solvable functions due to the Singleton log class changes. There were still some functions calls left which passes the $kiwi log object to the functions
Sun Jan 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - Due to the new Singleton log class and the fix in KIWIQX to make use of it, all EXEC calls now lands in the logInfoMsg type of unit test framework. Thus I changed the ktLog.pm::loginfo function in the unit test functions to ignore EXEC loginfo messages and allow the unit tests to work again
Sun Jan 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed $main::kiwi accesses according to new Singleton log class - fixed KIWIQX command execution logging with new Singleton log class - fixed object instantiation of KIWIXMLRepositoryData due to new Singleton based log object class
Sun Jan 20 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement new consistency checks + do not allow the assignment of a group ID to known system groups + do not allow the profiles attribute on a section marked as bootstrap + do not allow the use of archives in a section marked as bootstrap + ensure the interface is unique within one definition + ensure the MAC is unique within one definition
Fri Jan 18 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - eliminate the getUsers_legacy method
Fri Jan 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed wrong filesystem label for the efi jump partition. According to the EFI spec it should be EFI not BOOT - fixed the boot partition setup in case of an EFI system. kiwi checks the filesystem type of the jump partition and not the boot partition which leads to a missing boot -> . link on the boot partition which then prevents the grub2 efi core image to find the grub.cfg file
Fri Jan 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Fri Jan 18 13:00:00 2013 tom_schrAATTsuse.de - DB: Moved definition of PXE as the first sentence - DB: Removed linebreak after and before to avoid layout problems
Thu Jan 17 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - turn the logger (KIWILog) into a Singleton + eliminates the first argument for every constructor + enforces less sloppy testing code for log message checking - add the logger to the design diagram as a singleton - start over all design write up
Wed Jan 16 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - eliminate some calls to _legacy methods - moved some \"old\" accessors to _legacy in XML KIWIXMLInfo => getInstallSize_legacy KIWIXML => getImageVersion_legacy KIWIXML => getImageName_legacy
Tue Jan 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Tue Jan 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: add documentation about new post hook commands
Tue Jan 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for post hook commands as requested in (bnc #776535)
Mon Jan 14 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.32 released
Mon Jan 14 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed netboot boot partition setup. In case of a custom boot partition the code created the partition and the filesystem but the original data from the image was not moved over to the boot partition
Mon Jan 14 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed updateOtherDeviceFstab to add devices by disk ID
Mon Jan 14 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of IFS in probeNetworkCard and loadNetworkCard - try to load hwinfo detected network modules in loadNetworkCard but don\'t fail if there are none detected or the load failed. udev normally loads the modules correctly - ask interfaces for their MAC and IFace name directly instead of using hwinfo, that\'s faster and more reliable
Mon Jan 14 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - update XMLVMachineData class to reflect mandatory status of configuration setting in XML. Previously the element was optional and it was possible to construct the VMachine object without arguments. Now the element is mandatory and thus the object may no longer be constructed without argument.
Sun Jan 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make vmdisk a mandatory element in the machine section
Sat Jan 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed dom0 machine setup to make object init of KIWIXMLVMachineData happy
Sat Jan 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added oem-swap for all examples which specify a swapsize
Sat Jan 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed indention, obsolete curly braces from information about the structure of the internal XML data types
Sat Jan 12 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - store objects in XML instead of raw data + change the XML class such that objects are stored instead of deeply nested raw data. This results ins simplification of code, the internal data structure, and its documentation. Data that requires merging (preferences and user data) is not stored as objects as it is not obvious that merge delegation to the respective objects would be advantageous.
Fri Jan 11 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix the description + RuntimeChecker test failed due to conflicting settings in the config
Fri Jan 11 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix XMLDescriptionData + previously the object construction did not conform to requierements of the Schema, it was possible to create an object without author, contact, or specification data. Multiple contact definitions were ignored - update unit tests for Description class and XML class
Fri Jan 11 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed indention
Fri Jan 11 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update 12.2 examples to use grub2 as bootloader
Fri Jan 11 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved the os-autoinst test case from the 11.4 JeOS template into the SLE11 template. The 11.4 template will be removed with the next openSUSE 12.3 distribution but I don\'t want to loose this test case example
Thu Jan 10 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - changed zypper call to use one call to install products, patterns and packages instead of splitting that up into single calls. This has the advantage that zypper can better decide for packages which provides similar functionality (bnc #796062)
Wed Jan 9 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update internal data structure in-code documentation
Tue Jan 8 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed \'run out of space\' problem in LVM setup. use a relative 20% (min 30M) spare space per volume
Tue Jan 8 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed LANG setup inside the kiwi initrd. LANG must be correctly set before calling fbiterm. Otherwise the multibyte characters in the target locale are not displayed correctly
Thu Jan 3 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - Start documenting the KIWI design + document the new XML design + start of high level data-flow/interaction diagram
Fri Dec 21 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for resizeMDRaid in kiwi\'s oemboot code when the geometry of the disk changes the raid array needs to grow too
Fri Dec 21 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed mdraid setup in combination with LVM
Fri Dec 21 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added zeroMDRaidSuperBlock function to make sure an old raid array is stopped and the super block is removed prior to installing a new system on that disk
Fri Dec 21 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - deal with mdraid in the test + fix getXMLElement test + add unit test for new MDRaid methods
Wed Dec 19 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for software raid into disk based appliances The feature is based on creating a degraded raid array with one disk, thus only mirroring and striping levels can be supported. A system build with a degraded raid array allows to add custom disks later to the array. In order to set it up you only need to specify the mdraid attribute as part of the type like the following example:
Wed Dec 19 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed redundant code from setupInstallCD, this is done in the KIWIBoot constructor
Wed Dec 19 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed grub2 title setup, spaces were ignored
Fri Dec 14 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.31 released
Fri Dec 14 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the apt-get/dpkg package manager to kiwi
Thu Dec 13 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - allow the id for a vmdisk and vmdvd to be 0 trapped again by Perl\'s a string with zero (\"0\") is false
Thu Dec 13 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update templates and examples to match the schema
Thu Dec 13 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed the change of the pwd attribute to be really complete also fixed the 5.5 to 5.6 upgrade xsl style sheet
Wed Dec 12 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update templates and examples to latest schema version
Wed Dec 12 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - split up KIWIManager object into a base class and the corresponding manager sub classes for zypper, ensconce yum and smart
Wed Dec 12 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - clean up + eliminate references to Novell where possible + change copyrights from Novell Inc. to SUSE LLC + fix spelling OpenSUSE is openSUSE + update e-mail address rschweikertAATTnovell.com to rjschweiAATTsuse.com
Tue Dec 11 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement InstRepositoryData class + stores data for element + implement RepositoryBaseData class as parent class to share common functionality with RepositoryClass + implement unit tests - some clean up for consistency in the RepositoryData class + update unit test - implement ProductPackageData class + stores data for element + did not implement set * methods as it is not obvious at this time if they are needed - follow up from addition of attributes to for apt support + set the class members + check the argument for the set * methods + add unit tests for all new methods - implement ProductOptionsData class + stores data for element + implement unit tests - implement ProductArchitectureData class + stores data for element + implement unit tests - implement ProductMetaFileData class + stores data for element + implement unit tests + some style clean up in File and Type test - implement ProductMetaChrootData class + stores data for element + implement unit tests - integrate all classes related to handling into XML processing code + implement new accessor methods + renames all getInstSource * and related methods to _legacy + update client code to use _legacy names + implement unit tests
Tue Dec 11 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - change the pwd attribute of the instrepo element to password + be consistent with the attribute name for the repository password between the instrepo and repository element - bump the schema version to 5.6 - implement a 5.5 to 5.6 upgrade style sheet
Sat Dec 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure plymouth splash is switched off when the progress dialog is displayed in the oemboot/suse-dump code (bnc #793260)
Fri Dec 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.30 released
Fri Dec 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed changelog filter tool to incorporate commits with the same timestamp into one changelog entry
Fri Dec 7 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - Add tests for the new firmware attribute handling - Additional changes to new firmware handling in the Type object + Encode the firmware type default (bios) + Verify that the given value is supported
Fri Dec 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.29 released
Fri Dec 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - add grub2-efi by default to openSUSE 12.2 oem|vmxboot descriptions. Thus just selecting the firmware via is enough
Fri Dec 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the firmware=\"bios|efi\" type attribute before this patch the decision for efi was done by the presence of the grub2 efi modules inside the kiwi generated initrd. This has turned out to be not flexible and can\'t be extended to the firmware required disk layout on other architectures like the arm based chromebook to mention just one example This fixes (bnc #792917)
Fri Dec 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - we should not overwrite the user specified target directory in the commandline object with something the user did not set. With reference to commit:b6a7e563 the creation of the image happened in a subdirectory below the specified target directory and kiwi overwrote that user target directory with a new name. This should not happen thus I added a new function pair named setImageIntermediateTargetDir/getImageIntermediateTargetDir to handle that value and don\'t touch the user specified target directory
Thu Dec 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - finally changed the fragile cleanup code in KIWIBoot.pm The code there now builds a stack of commands which set the busy devices free if processed in reverse order
Thu Dec 6 13:00:00 2012 praveen_paladuguAATTsuse.de - make sure rhelStripInitrd arguments are passed correctly
Thu Dec 6 13:00:00 2012 rneuhauserAATTsuse.de - use mktemp -t to make use of $TMPDIR and do not hardcode /tmp in the paramter to mktemp
Thu Dec 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - Don\'t use the same inode count for the install stick disk compared to the system image disk. If the system image is big the inode count is also a big number. But on the install disk image there are only a few files including the compressed version of the system image. Thus it\'s smaller and has not much files. The system image inode count has no relation to the filesystem on the install disk image. Under certain circumstances it could happen that the install disk filesystem can\'t be created because the big chunk of inodes exceeds the size of the install disk filesystem
Wed Dec 5 13:00:00 2012 praveen_paladuguAATTsuse.de - Fedora/RHEL based distros have dhclient instead of dhcpcd. Thus the code to ask the DHCP server for an address has been splitted into two new functions setupNetworkDHCPCD() and setupNetworkDHCLIENT()
Tue Dec 4 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure pidof returns only the master pid of udevd
Tue Dec 4 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure the splash information doesn\'t get lost when repacking the initrd while building live iso images
Tue Dec 4 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed behavior of /etc/init.d/boot.clock which reads a value in /dev/shm/warpclock. The value is provided by a mkinitrd binary in /lib/mkinitrd/bin/warpclock. It looks like it\'s required to store that information for a proper localtime system clock setup. There is not good documentation about this magic but to stay compatible the warpclock code from mkinitrd was ported over to the kiwi first boot initrd This fixes (bnc #786730)
Tue Dec 4 13:00:00 2012 adrianAATTsuse.de - instsource: use supportstatus from product descriptions instead from PDB (Package Data Base)
Tue Dec 4 13:00:00 2012 adrianAATTsuse.de - instsource: avoid usage of translate_packages code, use create_package_descr code (patch by rudi)
Mon Dec 3 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t point stdout to stderr when calling grub2-mkconfig with stdout I/O redirection into the configuration file. This just leads to an empty file. I should think twice before hitting the push button ;)
Mon Dec 3 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - workaround a grub2-mkconfig bug which happens if a \' sign is used as menuentry title in /etc/default/grub. if called with the option -o grub2-mkconfig complains even if the shell quoting is perfectly fine. Strange enough it works nicely if called as grub2-mkconfig > some-file. As this is only a small and maintainable workaround I applied it
Mon Dec 3 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added an architecture check for KIWIIsoLinux::createHybrid() on architectures e.g ppc and ia64 the embedding of a partition table into the ISO will not work. Thus the check will issue a warning but proceed and does not fail
Mon Dec 3 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed 64bit path check for lxc base directory
Sun Dec 2 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - Implement XMLExceptData class to store data of the element - Modify the get * methods of the XMLSplitData class to return array refs of FileData and ExceptData objects
* this was necessary to avoid duplication of XML generation code across class implementations
* this behavior is now also consistent with other get * methods when accessing complex data - Implement getXMLElement method for all XML *Data classes
* getXML method returns 1 XML element that represents the data of the class - Update unit tests as needed
Fri Nov 30 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement consistency check to disallow boot to be setup as a volume in (LVM) configuration - implement unit tests to verify test
Fri Nov 30 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.28 released
Fri Nov 30 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed obsolete and also never reached code
Fri Nov 30 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed user/group setup. kiwi used the given group name as a supplementary group and not as the main group this user belongs to. Together with a group name and a group id which matches that group name this could lead to duplicate user views in e.g YaST and to basically wrong user configuration (bnc #792058)
Fri Nov 30 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement handling of additive and unit attributes of the element in the imageConfig data structure and the XMLTypeData class rename the following methods of the XML class:
Thu Nov 29 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed legacy grub setup. the partition numbers starts at 0 here
Thu Nov 29 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed shell escaping for grub.cfg and /etc/default/grub - also fixed importFile method to handle single quotes correctly
Wed Nov 28 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement data handling in new XML data structure - rename the following methods:
* addStrip -> __addStrip_legacy - implement new methods to add and get data expressed as in the XML - update unit tests to use _legacy method names - implement new unit tests for new methods
* create new config.xml file for new unit tests - implement XMLStripData class
Wed Nov 28 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixes use of custom disk size value via the element or the option --bootvm-disksize. In combination with LVM volumes the result disk size is much bigger because kiwi just added the requested volume sizes to the specified disk size which is not the desired behavior
Wed Nov 28 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix array comparison in the test case
* at present names that contain \"special\" characters may not compare properly, such that libstdc++ will not match a libstdc++ entry in the other array. Use string interpolation to address the issue.
Tue Nov 27 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - use numbers for calculations, do not depend on implicit conversion
Tue Nov 27 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Tue Nov 27 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation due to the new pxe unionfs mount method
Tue Nov 27 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added mountSystemUnionFS() function which uses fuse-unionfs to overlay mount the root system according to the contents of UNIONFS_CONFIG. So far this setup is only supported with pxe images as requested in (bnc #776505)
Mon Nov 26 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove searchUSBStickDevice() function. When kiwi was called with a target disk device the assumption was made that the install media should also be created on a device directly. If the install media is a USB stick (installstick=\"true\") kiwi searches for stick devices during the process and: a) exits with an error if it can\'t find one b) asks which one to use if it finds more than one This behavior is a pita for automatic build processes and it also fails if the stick media does not set the \'removable\' state in its meta data correctly. Additionally the assumption that the install media is present as a device just because the image was created from an existing device also sucks This commit removes the search for stick devices and always creates the install media through a loop as a file which then needs to be dumped on the target device
Mon Nov 26 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file, syslinux exists on ix86 and x86_64 only
Mon Nov 26 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup global mount method to use the getPartDevice() function to search for partition devices
Mon Nov 26 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup setupInstallStick(), the reference to this->{loop} might be undefined depending on the environment better use the contents of $haveDiskDevice
Mon Nov 26 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed obsolete mount code from setupInstallStick()
Mon Nov 26 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupInstallStick() if called in Studio mode. If this function is called with a disk device as reference it expects the target USB stick to be plugged in, in order to create the install image directly on that stick. For Studio this does not work because the target stick is never attached to the containment within this call happens. Thus this fix creates the install USB stick image in a loop device
Mon Nov 26 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added sanity check for mount() method to fail if no source information is passed
Fri Nov 23 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.27 released
Fri Nov 23 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed broken postImage() filesystem check which prevented the creation of the system image .md5 file
Fri Nov 23 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.26 released
Fri Nov 23 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed behavior of --fat-storage option. Instead of syslinux we now use grub2 to boot from the fat partition. It has turned out that grub2 is more stable and behaves better when using the image on a USB stick. The grub2 theme support also makes it easier to use custom branded boot graphics
Fri Nov 23 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed cleanup of temporary copy of sysconfig/proxy. If there is a fillup template for the file and the file hasn\'t changed as part of the build process the fillup template is restored instead of removing the file (bnc #777151)
Thu Nov 22 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed logical volume name building in resizeLVMVolumes() the function only evaluates volume names at the primary level e.g /opt. As soon as you have a volume e.g /opt/bob it failed to resize
Thu Nov 22 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for a jump partition which is added before the actual boot partition. This is used for grub2 efi based disk images now. kiwi just put the created grub2 bootx64.efi module onto the fat16 based jump partition and let grub2 read all data from the second ext3 based boot partition. This allows standard linux filesystem based boot partitions and it has also turned out that this disk layout might be required for arm based images as well. But so far this system is connected to the efi setup only
Thu Nov 22 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added parted to openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template
Thu Nov 22 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in setupFilesystem() which caused a fat16 filesystem even though a fat32 filesystem was requested. - changed the efi boot partition type to fat16 - added ext2 modules to the bootx64.efi module
Wed Nov 21 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - adapt oemboot suse/rhel-repart code to make use of the flexible boot partition location in $kiwi_BootPart. The partition ID stored there is used as the beginning of the partition layout. Instead of a fixed boot partition at 1 the layout handles the value of $kiwi_BootPart as the start. If there is no boot partition the first partition must be the root partition as usual.
Wed Nov 21 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - update the driver handling for the imageConfig data structure
* take advantage of the private helper methods implemented for package handling
* eliminates code duplication
* simplifies implementation of driver handling methods - update the unit tests to adjust for minor differences in messages
Wed Nov 21 13:00:00 2012 praveen_paladuguAATTsuse.de - fixed perl dependencies in spec file for rhel/centos - resolve suse version checking to zero if the suse_version macro is not defined. This allows the package build going easily also in non-suse based distros
Wed Nov 21 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use new partids hash for the bootloader stage setup setupBootLoaderStages()
Wed Nov 21 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use new partids hash for the setup and installation of the bootloaders, setupBootLoaderConfiguration() / installBootLoader()
Wed Nov 21 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of filehandle in addAppdata() and collectPackages() of the instsource media KIWICollect module
Tue Nov 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use new partids hash to create the device map and cleanup access to the new device map data
Tue Nov 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure setupBootFlags also updates the .splash.gz variant of the initrd if the function was called with the non splash (.gz) variant of the initrd.
Tue Nov 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed post partition size check and read-write dump if split + lvm is used. An undefined device was used for the check and the dump in this case
Tue Nov 20 13:00:00 2012 delgadoAATTsuse.de - allow getExecArgsFormat to parse python optparse/argparse output. python uses the form \'-o, --option\' whereas we don\'t expect a comma between the short and long version - add unit test for this option format
Tue Nov 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - check for kiwi_BootPart from new partition IDs meta data in setupBootPartition(). This could be used to map the boot partition to another than the first partition
Tue Nov 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - switched oemboot boot code to make use of config.partids
Tue Nov 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - switched vmxboot boot code to make use of config.partids
Tue Nov 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added additional meta data file with suffix .pids. The file contains the information about the ID/Name of the root,boot readonly/readwrite device according to this appliance if a virtual disk based image was requested. The information is included as config.partids into the initrd and is used on first boot. Rather than guessing the purpose of partitions the initrd will now know it exactly
Tue Nov 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed call of method textContent() on an undefined value
Tue Nov 20 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix typo and logic error in test cases (bnc #790254)
* typo cause list comparison to fail
* logic error caused a name that should have been in he comparison list to be omitted
Mon Nov 19 13:00:00 2012 dvaleevAATTsuse.de - changed spec file to be quiet on unpacking the source tarball. During kiwi build don\'t list files and directories of tarball. This floods build log pretty much.
Mon Nov 19 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t fail hard if copyBootCode() cannot create e.g symlinks on copy of the boot data. Just report that as a warning
Mon Nov 19 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - if a bootfilesystem is specified it\'s required to check its type prior to the creation of the partition table because it might be required to specify a partition label according to the selected filesystem
Mon Nov 19 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix return values of legacy methods of the XML class, return values as string. Older versions of the LibXML perl binding do not have an overloaded eq operator for a NodeList where the value of the first entry of a node can be used in a comparison. There is however a string conversion, thus placing the nodelist inside a string \"$nl\" does the trick. This fixes issues on SLES 11 with the unit tests Related to (bnc #790254) - update the trigger files to fix unit tets execution that was broken when ArchiveData, IgnoreData, and ProductData were renamed To contain the Package prefix in the name. Related to (bnc #790254)
Mon Nov 19 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file:
* update author list for kiwi-instsource
* make sure at least ext and fat filesystem creation tools are required
Sun Nov 18 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fix use of uninitialized variables
Fri Nov 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.25 released
Fri Nov 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: removed match for image-$VERSION in suseStripKernel
Thu Nov 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed kernel search in suseStripKernel for armv5 kernel. There we have Image- * (with a capital \'I\')
Thu Nov 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file requirements: kiwi has a create mode runtime check for the vgs command. Thus the kiwi package should require lvm2 to become installed
Thu Nov 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure possibly left over dhcpcd pid file from a -T (test) call is removed before requesting the IP address for the interface. It has turned out that the sle10 dhcpcd has this bug and kiwi works around this one by actively checking for a pid file after the dhcpcd -T (test) call (bnc #787924)
Thu Nov 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use baseUpdateSysConfig() function to update variable contents of sysconfig files as required in the suseConfig() function. This eliminates the various sed statements here and uses one common function for all sysconfig updates
Tue Nov 13 13:00:00 2012 bgeukenAATTsuse.de - Fixed regular expression for replacing HWCLOCK in clock config file This fixes a bug that causes a wrong \'--localtime\' / \'--utc\' entry in USE_HWCLOCK setting. This setting got introduced first with openSUSE 12.2
Tue Nov 13 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fix use of uninitialized variables
Tue Nov 13 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: fixed dhcpcd \'-r\' option name clash. Older versions of dhcpcd use that option in a completely different meaning, thus we distinguish the call by the the capability of the \'-p\' option (interface persistency) which was introduced in newer versions of dhcpcd only (bnc #787924)
Tue Nov 13 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fix use of uninitialized variables
Tue Nov 13 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add spaces to separate option arguments
Mon Nov 12 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix use of uninitialized variables - do not clobber the FS tune settings for ext2,3,4 if fsnocheck and tune settings are provided
Mon Nov 12 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of implicit split to AATT_ with a temporary variable
Sun Nov 11 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.24 released
Sun Nov 11 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed build of plain bootiso/bootstick from kiwi initrd without system image. The call kiwi --bootusb failed to work because it tried to access the XML description which can\'t work when no system image is specified
Fri Nov 9 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.23 released
Fri Nov 9 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed device name setup in recovery/restore mode. kiwi assumes an overlay setup when a second partition exists but this is not true if the second partition is the swap space. For the initial boot of an appliance the device setup always works but when oemboot has created new partitions e.g swap space and the kiwi initrd runs again in recovery/restore mode the device setup might be broken because of another partition layout compared to the initial state
Fri Nov 9 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement XML data classes for elements that are children of
* KIWIXMLPackageArchiveData handle
* KIWIXMLPackageIgnoreData
* KIWIXMLPackageCollectData handle and
* KIWIXMLPackageData handle
* KIWIXMLPackageProductData - update the FileData base class to allow extension by child to support additional allowed attributes - implement unit tests for all new classes - integrate new data classes into XML class and rename the following methods to _legacy

* there are some bugs in the _legacy methods, these will not be fixed as the bugs will go away when we switch to the new code. The legacy code does not respect type specific archives being added.
* update the test data to re-use same configuration files for multiple test cases
* use _legacy names
* implement new tests for new methods - update RuntimeChecker to use new methods in the XML - implement tnew triggers and update existsing triggers as needed

Thu Nov 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use contents of $bootPartitionFSType to check symlink capabilities
Thu Nov 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed cleanup code in KIWILinuxRC after mkinitrd was called in case of arm images not all obsolete data was removed - pass boot filesystem type as first argument to the pre bootloader install script and handle it in the arm JeOS template in uboot-image-setup - export bootPartitionFSType in KIWILinuxRC and handle it in the hook script kiwi-hooks/setupUBoot.sh
Thu Nov 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed nic interface runtime check, the value \'0\' is valid for the index of a VMware interface definition, thus it\'s wrong to do a true/false check here.
Thu Nov 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized values in the code now reported due to the use of warnings at runtime
Wed Nov 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure var/log/ConsoleKit exists when booting the first time

Tue Nov 6 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - remove the statistics colector and the generated data we never got around to finish the integration of the data collector and it is not used. At this point it appears that the code will just not be used in the long run, thus it is getting removed
Tue Nov 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized values in the code now reported due to the use of warnings at runtime

Fri Nov 2 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.22 released
Fri Nov 2 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed vmxboot respectively image type vmx from arm code branch. All arm images are oem\'s vmx is unused here
Fri Nov 2 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed device detection in the oemboot install code. The try to remove the boot device from the list of possible install devices. The sed statement used here caused a broken list of the substring also matches other devices. The fix here changes this to exactly match the device string of the boot device and nothing else
Fri Nov 2 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed etc/default/grub GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR name setup
Fri Nov 2 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - include mdmon to handle raid array status changes if a dmraid array is in use

Mon Oct 29 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add consistency check for the case can only delete packages, thus specifying archives, patterns, or a product is not valid
Mon Oct 29 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed removal of temporary boot_bind entry in fstab
Mon Oct 29 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure proc/cmdline is there when setting up logging
Mon Oct 29 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - create LVM volume filesystems with suitable number of inodes for filesystems which require this. Occasionally it happens that we run out of space when using a custom LVM volume setup. The reason for this is that the filesystem cannot allocate more inodes because kiwi calculates the inode count for the root volume but not for the sub lvm volumes e.g /var, /srv, etc according to the volume setup. This commit fixes this in a way that kiwi creates a suitable number of inodes for each filesystem inside the LVM
Sat Oct 27 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - update kiwi manual pages to clarify meaning of set-repo argument - fix the behavior of the new implementation of setRepository
* replaceable is considered the default, thus replace a repo if it is the first in line and has not status set or the status is marked replaceable
* properly replace the first repo specified in config.xml that is not marked \"fixed\". Previously the default profile would have been the first to get a repo replaced, no matter the definition order in config.xml - update the unit tests - encode the default status of replaceable in the RepositoryData object
Fri Oct 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure repos marked as imageinclude will preserve its priority
Fri Oct 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed back to clicfs for 12.2 live iso JeOS template. I found several problems with btrfs and it\'s seed implementation
* the compressed read-only part needs to be bigger than the data requires it. if this is not given adding the seed dev will fail
* when adding a ramdisk seed for the combination read-only loop from ISO plus read-write /dev/ram (brd) block device the kernel throws a trace from btrfs not being able to relocate sys chunks and that \'balancing\' it would solve that... which is not true
Fri Oct 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure edit boot scripts get the executable bit set
Fri Oct 26 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - change behavior of boolean in the XML *Data classes
* undefined attributes in the initialization of an object remain undefined
* defined values are either \'true\' or \'false\'
* this change had to be made such that merging and updating of preferences in the XML can be supported correctly
Fri Oct 26 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add new runtime check to verify that repo aliases used are unique this has to be a runtime check as it is valid to define repos with the same alias as long as those repos are never used at the same time during a build - implement setPreferences method in the XML class preferences will be assigned to the profile preferences that have an existing definition, if no definition exists the setting applies to the default preferences - add unit test for new runtime check - add unit test for new setPreferences method - remove all calls to _legacy methods from the RuntimeChecker thus the RuntimeChecker is the first using the new internal data structure
Thu Oct 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getSector to calculate with numeric values
Thu Oct 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed IPC signal setup
Thu Oct 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized values in KIWIBoot.pm. with the last cleanup we use warnings for KIWIBoot now thus we get informed about perl warnings for this module. Along with the ongoing process of cleaning up the code by using perl-critic other modules will follow
Thu Oct 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make KIWIArch.pm perl critic level 3 clean

Wed Oct 24 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make KIWIBoot.pm perlcritic level 5 clean
Tue Oct 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Tue Oct 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation concerning the new installpxe attribute
Tue Oct 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the attribute. if set kiwi creates a tarball which contains all data required to let an oem disk image to become installed via pxe. The archive contains: kernel, initrd, system gzimage, md5sum and kernel boot options for the append line in the pxe setup This fixes bug (bnc #785222)
Tue Oct 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added kiwi.pl to pre-commit check
Tue Oct 23 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - do not support creation of a TypeData object without keyword initialization hash. The image attribute is mandatory on the element, thus it should not be possible to construct an object representing the element without specifying a value for image - add the new installpxe member to the bool keywords - update the unit tests to handle the new condition - add tests for new installpxe member
Tue Oct 23 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - change the handling of booleans in the XML *Data classes
* implement __initializeBoolMembers in the base class to setup boolean members
* modify the __setBooleanValue method such that a boolean value is defined as a member only if it is true, this allows us to change checks from \"if ($bool && $bool eq \'true\')\" to simply \"if ($bool)\" this is consistent with general language conventions
Mon Oct 22 14:00:00 2012 toganmAATTsuse.de - Emacs mode fix: Fix typos in the suse-start-kiwi-xmllocator. Rather than blindly adding suffixes to nxml-mode just add kiwi suffix to include to the auto-mode-list
Mon Oct 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed unit test kiwiXML.pm:test_addRepositoriesExistPrefLic. The test checks for duplicate preference license indicator but adds an invalid bool value for the attribute. Thus kiwi complains about the invalid value and not about the duplicate indicator
Mon Oct 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added \'imageinclude\' to supportedKeywords in KIWIXMLRepositoryData to become checked by base class code in KIWIXMLDataBase. Additionally removed obsolete and commented out code from KIWIXMLDataBase constructor

* don\'t create INITRD_MODULES list here, this caused multiple entries
* use separate mount point not /mnt for temporary mount on resize
* make sure all udev events are processed before resize
Fri Oct 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed __checkKernelVersionToolExists runtime check. kiwi provides the tool itself thus it\'s always there
Fri Oct 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.18 released
Fri Oct 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make path check in KIWIURL more robust

Fri Oct 19 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix up KIWIXMLRepositoryData class
* do not support un-initialized construction
* use base class infrastructure for the preferlicense member - update unit tests accordingly
Fri Oct 19 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement __hasInitArg in the XMLDataBase class
* this allows children that should not be constructed without an initialization argument to complain in a consistent way it the arg is missing - update ProfileData to use new method in base class - clean up DescriptionData implementation
* do not support construction without arg : eliminates need for object consistency check
* make setters consistent in behavior with other *Data class setters - revamp the DescriptionData unit tests
* test structure consistent with other tests for XML *Data tests
* smaller tests, better coverage
Thu Oct 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed grub2 setup. If the root filesystem is LVM based grub2 can\'t read e.g the fonts from this device. Thus this patch ensure all required theme data incl. the unicode font is part of the boot device
Thu Oct 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use the setupFileSystem function to create the boot filesystem this is done for code cleanup and also to prepare the code for setting up a custom boot partition filesystem. At the moment the boot filesystem is bound to which bootloader is in use but e.g for arm boxes the same bootloader might require different boot filesystems, thus this could become an option in kiwi
Thu Oct 18 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add tests to run when the XML class changes. Previous update had an issue that was found by a unit test that was not automatically run from the triggers
Wed Oct 17 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed copyBootCode to work if no boot partition is used
Wed Oct 17 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement a ProfileData object

* implement unit tests for the new object
* update the XML object to integrate the ProfileData class
* update the XML unit test - change all XML *Data classes to be children on XMLDataBase and update unit tests to handle new initialization and new error conditions and error messages
Tue Oct 16 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - change __setDefaultType() to meet the following conditions:
* if a type is marked primary within the selected profiles it is the default type
* if no type is marked primary then the first type of the default section (the one not assigned to a specific profile) becomes the default type; should the default have no type than the first type of the first profile bound preferences section is the default type - add test cases to verify this behavior
Tue Oct 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added perl-Readonly requirement to spec file
Tue Oct 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed kernel version tool to work with uImage files
Tue Oct 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use kiwi\'s kversion tool instead of get_kernel_version to let other distros also be part of the game

Fri Oct 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: fixed JeOS uboot-setup.tgz:setupUBoot.sh. when calling code via runHook the first parameter is the name of the hook thus I had to shift all params by one
Fri Oct 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.16 released
Fri Oct 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed reading search path for custom boot config scripts. The information of the origin path of the image description is read from the image/main::Prepare file stored in the unpacked root tree. Within KIWIBoot the reading of that file should be done inside the constructor when the XML data is read from the unpacked tree. That way the path is consistent for the life time of the object and needs to be read only once.
Fri Oct 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in message string, obsolete \'\ \'
Fri Oct 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed kiwi --installcd mode and the global mount() method in general to know about LVM disks. In this case the mount has to activate the volume group in order to access the devices inside. The code to do this was in the checkLVMbind method in KIWIBoot but it is required before in the mount() method in KIWIGlobals
Thu Oct 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of .profile KIWI_LVM_LV * variables if no size is set for the volume

Wed Oct 10 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed obsolete comments about deletion of _legacy functions Robert already sorted them and added a comment on top of all these functions
Tue Oct 9 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repo setup for arm JeOS template
Mon Oct 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use simple TERM signal to stop initrd\'s udevd

Fri Oct 5 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setup of dmraid devices. A new function called identifyDMRaid() has been added which searches for mapped dmraid disks and also removes the devices which belongs to the raid from the list of install disks
Thu Oct 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed grub2 setup to correctly distinguish the efi and non efi config files for dual boot of install iso images
Tue Oct 2 14:00:00 2012 dvaleevAATTsuse.de - ppc: fix install iso blessing. In order to have installation CD/DVD bootable on PowerMac the suseboot directory must be blessed correctly. The situation was that -hfs-bless looks for the first directory and tries to bless required subdir. But in case required subdir is in the second directry, nothing got blessed. So let\'s switch the order.
Tue Oct 2 14:00:00 2012 dvaleevAATTsuse.de - ppc: don\'t hardcode volume id. The volume ID is hardcoded to the value of \'FIXME\'. Use createVolumeID function to create dynamic volume ID. Something like openSUSE 12.2 1 where 1 is the media number
Tue Oct 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update language translations po/pot files
Tue Oct 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added a backtitle information when displaying the language dialog saying that the boot will continue in a few seconds

Wed Sep 19 14:00:00 2012 rneuhauserAATTsuse.de - make sure /etc/sysconfig/kernel contains the virtio modules so that SLE10 mkinitrd picks it up correctly (bnc #747346)
Tue Sep 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - when using the caching system the bootstrap part of the build is skipped. Thus profiled bootstrap sections could lead to missing data when using a cache. I have moved all profiled bootstrap sections to type=\"image\"
Tue Sep 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - moved from ext2/dm-snapshot cache system to btrfs seed (bnc #764042)

Fri Sep 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.10 released
Fri Sep 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup installBootLoader() function. There is one way to setup the boot device and not the mess I created before. - added helper function __getPartDevice() which finds the correct block device for a partition if you give it the disk device and the partition number
Fri Sep 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file. Added PreReq for kiwi-pxeboot and kiwi-templates to make sure required coreutils are there when the package is installed (bnc #780070)

Fri Sep 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - call editbootconfig script at the end of setupBootLoaderConfiguration and not at the beginning of installBootLoader. That\'s because there is one step in between which could break otherwise. Also make sure the script is searched in the original image description path
Fri Sep 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: kernel-firmware does not exist there
Thu Sep 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed arch setup for satsolver on armv7l
Thu Sep 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use 512MB instead of 128MB for xen domU examples
Thu Sep 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed __uniqueInPackages() function. It\'s not a good idea to grep via a regexp for duplicate entries. That\'s because if characters which have a special meaning in a regexp are part of the name it leads to invalid matching results. I thought I could fix this by using the quotemeta call but it has turned out that it does not quote with respect to the special meaning of characters for regular expressions. What we really want here is a dumb string match for duplicate entries.
Thu Sep 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - finally fixed xen boot with grub2. Problem was the missing gzio module which is required to read the signatured from the compressed (xen.gz) hypervisor
Wed Sep 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: moved uboot related code into custom scripts outside of the kiwi code. The arm JeOS image template served as example for the uboot setup on panda/efika and beagle boards

Tue Sep 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - The fetchFile() return value is broken: it returns status of the last command in the pipe. With atftp it works ok, but with curl it returns the status of the final dd command, which is always zero (bnc #779701)
Mon Sep 10 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed check for duplicate packages. The check fails if quotable characters are part of the package name e.g bonnie++ with bonnie is ok
Mon Sep 10 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed cleanup of rpm key tmp dir created for import
Sun Sep 9 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed KIWIXML::addPackages() function in a way that it does not add packages if they are already added to the list

* at the end of the build move the result files to the specified destination directory to keep the system backward compatible
* add option --archive-image which allows to pack the build results into a tar archive. The name of the archive is build out of the image name, type and used profile(s) This functionality was requested by (bnc #778787)
* fixed use of obsolete buildImageName() function and change to generateBuildImageName from the global space
Thu Sep 6 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement new classes for processing imageConfig data structure
* KIWIXMLEC2ConfigData =>
* KIWIXMLVMachineData =>
* KIWIXMLOEMConfigData =>
* KIWIXMLPXEDeployData =>
* KIWIXMLSplitData =>
* KIWIXMLSystemdiskData =>
* KIWIXMLTypeData =>

Mon Sep 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added two device checks for the list of disks reported by hwinfo which are used as possible install targets. First check is to read one byte from the device to find out if it\'s really possible to access it. Second check is to find the device specific serial number. Devices which are only mapped like lvm disks would appear multiple times but there is only one origin device which provides a serial string
Mon Sep 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added Emacs kiwi XML editing support. For details see: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2012/08/31/editing-kiwi-configurations-with-emacs/ Thanks to Togan for his effort
Mon Sep 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t start plymouth if no framebuffer device is present

Fri Aug 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed checkFileSystem() to correctly detect clicfs filesystems also use blkid to detect the filesystem in the first place. - fixed KIWIGlobal::mount() function to correctly identify a clicfs image as filesystem image and not as a disk
Fri Aug 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed validation of kiwirevision attribute. The kiwi revision as it is defined in /usr/share/kiwi/.revision is not a number. Thus the XML schema should not require a number
Fri Aug 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed system theme configuration for plymouth/grub2
* make sure kiwi writes the plymouth theme setup to /etc/plymouth/plymouth.conf. looks like the initrd creation tool of the distro uses the information from this file
* make sure kiwi writes the grub2 theme setup to /etc/default/grub. when using grub2-mkconfig this seems to be required
Thu Aug 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed console-setup.service helper for 12.2 JeOS. The final version of 12.2 allows console access after some time
Thu Aug 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use background_image for grub2 boot message box
Thu Aug 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - allow to overwrite the architecture when computing package dependencies in the KIWISatSolver module. This allows to provide package information for other than the real architecture. In order to set the value the environment variable: KIWI_REPO_INFO_ARCH must be set
Wed Aug 29 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed grub2 install if in targetdevice/targetstudio mode when using a real disk device the bindloop variable was not set because no partition binding is required
Wed Aug 29 14:00:00 2012 mbarringerAATTsuse.de - Moving repository to my github: http://github.com/mbarringer/imagewriter
Tue Aug 28 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added multiboot support for grub2 setup. This allows Xen dom0 appliances booting via grub2
Tue Aug 28 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - remove duplicate implementation of profile setting
* the setSelectionProfiles() and setActiveProfileNames() methods implemented the same functionality. The new method setSelectionProfileNames() is now the singular implementation of this functionality.
* relocate the new method into the block that separates code using the imageConfig data structure (this should avoid duplicate implementation in the future). - fix up the XML unit test to handle the new split for bootsplash and bootloader theme settings
Tue Aug 28 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - allow to overwrite the architecture when computing package dependencies in the KIWIXMLInfo module. This allows to provide package information for other than the real architecture. In order to set the value the environment variable: KIWI_REPO_INFO_ARCH must be set

Tue Aug 28 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - split setup into and elements. This allows to have different theme values for splash and bootloader as it could appear with the plymouth and grub2. Additionally people are more flexible when providing custom branding data for either splash or the bootloader (bnc #777599)
Tue Aug 28 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - unset *ROOT variables from config.mac if set via cmdline (bnc #777578)
Mon Aug 27 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - create a unique application ID for install ISO images
Mon Aug 27 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of install media if a target/studio device is used which is a disk but requires a mapping section to access partitions on this disk. One example is a NBD mapped disk which requires kpartx to run before one can access partitions on the disk
Sun Aug 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed restore of kernel splash in setupBootFlags()
Sun Aug 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed obsolete printout of done flag
Sun Aug 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - add better user message about used splash system - prevent stderr output from \'cpio -it\' result
Sat Aug 25 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement setRepository method using the imageConfig data structure
* this will eventually replace setRepository_legacy()

Thu Aug 23 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement the ignoreRepositories method using the imageConfig data structure
* this method will replace ignoreRepositories_legacy
Thu Aug 23 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement new addRepositories method
* replacing the addRepositories_legacy implementation - refactor the code that is used to figure out what profile data to modify as this code will be needed in any add * implementation - unit tests for the new addRepositories method
Thu Aug 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - validate templates and examples
Thu Aug 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template. For some reason a dependency to kernel-debug exists when building openSUSE 12.2 images. If not specified explicitly this is an unwanted package thus I added it to the packages marked for deletion
Wed Aug 22 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement the new getRepositories method
* will replace getRepositories_legacy()
* returns array ref of KIWIXMLRepositoryData objects - implement unit test for new method - fix up code errors in __populateRepositoryInfo
* the initial implementation committed prev did not place the data in the appropriate profile information.
Wed Aug 22 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - change code organization to aid in the transition to the new data structure
* collect all _legacy code in an appropriately marked area of the module
* collect all code using the new data structure in an appropriately marked area of the module

Wed Aug 22 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - rename all repository related interfaces to *_legacy
* this is in preparation for the implementation of the replacement methods that will access the imageConfig data structure and use the KIWIXMLRepositoryData object
Wed Aug 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - pass --partok option to isohybrid call
Wed Aug 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - adapt openSUSE 12.2 examples for plymouth and grub2 use

Wed Aug 22 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add and implement the __populateRepositoryInfo method this method add repository data to the imageConfig data structure.
Tue Aug 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure buildType is set when constructing a new KIWIXML object in KIWIImageCreator::prepareImage()
Tue Aug 21 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement KIWIXMLRepositoryData class
* this class holds information specified by the element and it\'s children () in the configuration file - implement unit tests for the new module - add new triggers and adjust existing triggers as appropriate
Tue Aug 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup KIWILog module, don\'t print state flags in log files
Tue Aug 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - moved imageConfig data dump into a function named dumpInternalXMLDescription and add the call as a comment to the code. Unfortunately added a loginfo message as part of the KIWIXML constructor causes many unit tests to fail
Tue Aug 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use perl\'s data dumper to print the new internal imageConfig data structure to the log file

Wed Aug 15 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - changed behavior of setActiveProfileNames
* when called with no argument this now resets that active profiles to the setting in the XML file. This type of dual behavior is somewhat evil from an OO perspective an dit may prove better to implement a resetActiveProfiles() in the future, we\'ll see how it turns out. - implement unit test for addDrivers method
Tue Aug 14 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement getArch/setArch methods
* allows to have influence on the architecture specific information for retrieval and addition of data to the XML object - refractor the valid profile names check into a private method
* verification of proper profile names is needed in 2 routines now and will be needed in any method that allows addition of profile specific information to the XML - implement new addDrivers method
* this allows to addDriver data to the XML, this completes the tie-in of the KIWIXMLDriverData object into the new structure - unit tests for get/setArch
Mon Aug 13 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - rename addDrivers to addDrivers_legacy
* this is in preparation for further integration of the new data structure - implement getActiveProfileNames and setActiveProfileNames
* with the XML restructure the constructor args will be reduced to just the validated XML, thus client code of the XML must have a way to set what profiles are active for information retrieval. - implement unit tests for the {g,s}etActiveProfileNames methods
Mon Aug 13 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix type for default profile in driver data population code
* drivers were added to the \"wrong\" profile due to the type. This incorrect profile was not accessed and thus the information got lost - integrate new KIWIXMLDriverData class into KIWIXML implementation
* rename getDriversNodeList to getDriversNodeList_legacy to indicate that this method is deprecated
* implement getDrivers method to return of XMLDriverData objects the objects are created based on information that is contained in the imageConfig data structure - implement unit test for the new getDrivers method
Mon Aug 13 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement setDescriptionInfo method on XML object ~ allow the information to be set programatically, this is needed for system migration when the configuration is created from scratch
Mon Aug 13 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add a getOopsState method to the test log. This is needed to properly handle cases where oops and other message states over lap.
Sun Aug 12 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement a KIWIXMLFileData class
* this class is intended to be an abstract base class for any xml section that uses the element. It stores the name and arch attributes of the element. The class provides get and set methods. - implement a KIWIXMLDriverData class
* this class is derived from the KIWIXMLFileData class and will be used to store the information provided in the section. - implement unit test for KIWIXMLFileData - implement unit test for KIWIXMLDriverData - fix-up the pre-commit hook to register the code and set the Perl-critic severity levels, all new code (spare the .t files) is level 2 clean - add the trigger files and adjust existing trigger files to run the test on commit
Sun Aug 12 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit tests for new uniqueness check for archives, packages, and patterns
Sun Aug 12 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add uniqueness checks for packages, archives, and patterns
Thu Aug 9 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use device from device map only if it exists
Thu Aug 9 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed obsolete internal data $this->{bootpart}. the boot partition is always the first partition. Since that change this value is no longer useful
Fri Aug 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed hybrid persistent mode when btrfs seed device is used. Unfortunately we are then running into the loop device bug mentioned in (bnc #764042). I hope this gets fixed soon in the loop and/or btrfs code
Fri Aug 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.3 released
Fri Aug 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Fri Aug 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update dropbear ssh documentation: Since debug_ssh.pub is used as the SSH file authorized_keys it is possible to specify serveral public ssh keys.
Fri Aug 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.2 released
Fri Aug 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Fri Aug 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update docs about dropbear based ssh access into the boot image
Fri Aug 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update rhel- * oemboot code to the current suse- * oemboot code
Fri Aug 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed support for dropbear ssh. we don\'t provide our own keypair but allow to integrate a user public key from the pxe server. The key must be stored in /KIWI and has to be named: debug_ssh.pub. for the default tftp download method this would result in the following path on the pxe server: /srv/tftpboot/KIWI/debug_ssh.pub
Thu Aug 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update size for btrfs filesystem when building JeOS 12.2 iso
Thu Aug 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove cached repos for a new build. The repo setup for the package managers smart and yum are cleaned up at the end of each build by resetInstallationSource(). For zypper we makes an exception here and keep the repo setup for performance reasons. Thus at the beginning a a new prepare run we should clean up the repo files to rebuild the repos as they are specified in the kiwi XML description
Thu Aug 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - moved startDropBear() prior to the ELOG_BOOTSHELL check
Thu Aug 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed rpmlint warnings about hidden and empty files
Thu Aug 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure dropbear keys are installed with correct permissions
Tue Jul 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: added function pxePartitionSetupCheck() which is used to validate the PART information whether the requested partition sizes can be reached according to the size of the disk. This implements the request in (bnc #771592)
Tue Jul 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed the suse-12.2 JeOS template provided by kiwi to switch from clicfs to the new btrfs seed way (bnc #764042)
Tue Jul 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for btrfs seed live ISO images. btrfs supports a nice COW machinery which allows us to point all write operations to a seed device. A similar technique is used with the clicfs filesystem but this one works in userspace via fuse. I have changed the suse-12.2 JeOS template provided by kiwi to use the new btrfs seed way. Of course the clicfs way also still exists. In order to use btrfs seed devices your iso type should look like the following example: 400
I got best results with lzo compression. One downside; up to now it\'s not possible to forecast/calculate how much size the btrfs image really will need. Thus the calculation kiwi does is in most cases too big for small images and for big ones sometimes too little. At the moment it\'s a try and error game to find out the minimum required size. The implementation add a ramdisk device as seed device to the btrfs mount and remount it read-write. This has worked fine and stable with the openSUSE 12.2 kernel (bnc #764042)
Tue Jul 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getSize and getBlocks functions to calculate with integer values. In addition to that the value of getBlocks was formerly passed to a dd call but this has changed to a qemu-img call. the seek value in the prior dd call was offset -1 which is wrong when using qemu-img
Tue Jul 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for filesystem mount options during image build and later to become stored in the fstab file. The type attribute has been added, this is related to (bnc #764042)
Mon Jul 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t create an instance of KIWILog other than the global one in: KIWILocator,KIWIRuntimeChecker and KIWIXMLValidator
Mon Jul 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t create an instance of KIWILog other than the global one in KIWIXMLDescriptionData
Mon Jul 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.01 released
Sat Jul 28 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement the getDescriptionInfo method in the XML object. The method uses the new KIWIXMLDescriptionData object, which gets created based on the data in the imageConfig datastructure - implement unit test for the getDescriptionInfo method
Fri Jul 27 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed split setup when no persistent data is configured. In this case there is no read-write portion which caused an error on creation of the split disk
Thu Jul 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - read reference mbrid file from inside the initrd and not from the attached disk devices. The matching of the ID must happen by a reference value from the loaded initrd and the data read from the MBR of all attached disks - make sure a new mbrid is written for disk based installation images created when installstick=\"true\" is set. - identify the disk installation device via the same method used to identify the bios boot device: searchBIOSBootDevice. This allows to put disk install media not only on USB sticks but also on e.g SD cards or other disk devices - fixed grub2 setup for graphics boot of disk based installation images - set kernel log level to 6 by default - make sure mbrid exists in initrd for disk images. This is done by the new setupBootFlags function
Thu Jul 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - perform a qualified import of KIWIQX in kiwi.pl
Wed Jul 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of install sticks without system image
Mon Jul 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - store the mbrid file in /boot and not in /boot/grub. The location is misleading if another than the grub bootmanager is used
Fri Jul 20 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - add initial new-root directories according to the used package manager (bnc #743844)
Thu Jul 19 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add and data to the new imageConfig structure - renamed following functions as legacy code:
* getProfiles => getProfiles_legacy
* __populateTypeInfo => __populateTypeInfo_legacy
* __populateProfiles => __populateProfiles_legacy
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - implement unit test for new XMLDescriptionData object - register new code in the commit-hook - add new triggers for the new test code and the new object - add new unit test to existing triggers
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add new object KIWIXMLDescriptionData which provides get/set methods for the element
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add an oops method to the test log
* this implements the oops interface of the KIWILog object to allow unit tests to handle this condition
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed mkisofs application ID setup when calling kiwi --installcd manually
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - New consistency check for package specification
* At present the user can specify packages to be installed for a given image type even if this image type is not defined. While the packages get ignored and no harm is done, the superfluous specification is confusing and the XML definition is for all intent and purposes inconsistent. - Unit tests for new consistency check
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix validation test configuration files to meet new stricter consistency requirements
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for EFI boot with grub2 for install ISO media live iso media is still not EFI capable. In order to use EFI boot you have to bootinclude the grub2-efi package: ... kiwi will check if there are efi modules inside the initrd and will then setup either a multiboot (iso) or plain gpt based image (bnc #771327)
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - show ssh login message only if an ip address was assigned
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: fixed use of multicast for compressed images. With commit 7a7389f2e3f2b3d92b38c08455b0c6da15569269 support for multicast based transfer of compressed images was added. Thus the checks which disable it are obsolete now (bnc #771898)
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for EFI boot with grub2 for the disk based image types oem and vmx (bnc #771327)
Tue Jul 17 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed check for disk in main::mount() function. searching for the string \'boot sector\' also applies to the file output from a boot partition. The patch will call blkid on the given file or device and assumes a disk if no block id information exists
Mon Jul 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation, add some information about the clic_udf feature as well as the support for ssh into the boot image. Also removed some obsolete data about aufs
Mon Jul 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for ssh access into the boot image (initrd). Of course this requires an active network connection which is by design possible in the netboot and oemboot (in PXE boot mode) boot images. So the following is not supported for the isoboot and vmxboot boot images because they don\'t setup a network. The feature is based on the dropbear ssh server because it\'s so small to fit into an initrd. In order to have dropbear in the boot image you have to add the following to the system image configuration:
and make sure one of your repos provides it. It\'s required to be in debug mode to be able to access the initrd. Thus you have to boot with \'kiwidebug=1\' enabled. In order to access the initrd passwordless via ssh kiwi provides a key pair whereas the pubkey is stored in the authorized_keys file inside the oem- and netboot images for all supported OS versions: ssh -i /usr/share/kiwi/keys/id_dropbear rootAATT For openSUSE >= 12.2 rsync is available in the netboot and oemboot boot images. For older versions it might be required to add tool packages bootincluded to be able to extract data from the boot image via ssh easily. In order to copy e.g the boot log file the following command can be used if rsync exists in the boot image: RSYNC_RSH=\'ssh -i /usr/share/kiwi/keys/id_dropbear -l root\' rsync -avz :/var/log/boot.kiwi .
Mon Jul 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed copy of overlay files for boot images (initrd). make sure hidden files like e.g root/.ssh are handled correctly
Sat Jul 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix for the change of the zypper repo handling. The repo meta data will stay on the host again but is going to be re-used to prevent unneeded reloading of repo metadata
Fri Jul 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file to write openSUSE instead of OpenSuSE (bnc #770825)
Fri Jul 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed the way how zypper repos are used. move the repo data including cache data into the image root directory instead of storing this information in /var/cache/kiwi/zypper on the build host. On the build host we only store a shared package cache in /var/cache/kiwi/packages. This allows to keep the repo meta data per image and thus it can be re-used on operations like kiwi --upgrade which speed up the build as this is called as part of the the kiwi --create step too
Fri Jul 13 14:00:00 2012 adrianAATTsuse.de - map openSUSE 12.3 to 12.2 configs for now - reformated spec file by current spec_file_formater
Fri Jul 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added kernel boot option \'disableProgressInfo=1\' which allows to deactivate the progress information when the image download or install starts (bnc #771104)
Thu Jul 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for live systems larger than 4G by using the udf filesystem. In order to active this make sure you have set flags=\"clic_udf\" (bnc #770703)
Thu Jul 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of grub2, with version 2.x there is no grub2-setup anymore but a grub2-bios-setup. This change was introduced with openSUSE 12.2 RC1
Thu Jul 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.34 released

Fri Jul 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.30 released
Fri Jul 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: fixed openSUSE 12.2 boot image description. bootstrap was only applied to in diskless profile mode. This leed to missing tools like gettext and dialog for all other profiles even the default profile
Fri Jul 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file: netboot and isoboot needs virt-utils additionally does isoboot need e2fsprogs
Wed Jul 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.29 released
Wed Jul 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t remove rpm and fonts required in the pxe examples
Wed Jul 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added missing fonts and X11 input packages to pxe 12.1 example
Tue Jul 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - libproxy reads the data from /etc/sysconfig/proxy. Thus it\'s required to hold a temporary copy of that file inside the chroot to make use of proxy settings while operating in the chroot
Mon Jul 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.28 released
Mon Jul 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure possible proxy setting is transfered to the kiwi chroot
Mon Jul 2 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add profile handling in new data structure to handle XML data
* This is the beginning of the XML object restructuring effort as dicussed on the list. This initial commit in the series adds the members for the new data structure and ties parts of the profile handling code to the new implementation.
Mon Jul 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t call resetBootBind using chroot to workaround (bnc #769634)
Sat Jun 30 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - make kiwi_default a reserved profile name
* for the new data structure for XML processing we need a profile name to store unqualified data, this name was chosen to be kiwi_default. Therefore this is a reserved name and users may not use it as a profile name.
Fri Jun 29 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.27 released
Fri Jun 29 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed hybrid persistent writing with kernel 3.x (bnc #769086)
Thu Jun 28 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: dhcpcd works with timeout 20s, kiwi used 40s, so one half of the time it waited with no reason. This patch runs \'dhcpcd -T\' again after 22s, so the time is used effectively. It also helps in situatios when the link needs more time to start, e.g with wpa_supplicant and the first dhcp packets are lost.
Thu Jun 28 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix the getPXEDeployConfiguration unit test on ppc and ppc64
Wed Jun 27 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - zypper in 12.2 has been fixed now, so we can change back the JeOS image template to the type=\"image\" installation
Wed Jun 27 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.26 released
Wed Jun 27 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added patterns for removal of unused files/dirs which appears along with systemd,grub2,plymouth and are not required inside the initrd
Wed Jun 27 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evaluation of glob patterns in kiwi_strip_delete
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove references to splashy from initrd
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - the post install script from grub2-branding-openSUSE creates a background.png file in /boot. We have to preserve all data created in /boot because the extractKernel() function moves out all the data here from the initrd
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - hide plymouth splash when throwing an exception
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evaluation of bootincluded packages in type specific packages sections
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template. With 12.2 the switch to grub2 was made but the grub2-branding-openSUSE package only provides grub2 theming information. Thus for building non grub2 based images like isolinux based live systems the former gfxboot-branding-openSUSE data has to be present. Because of this the openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template includes now image type specific packages sections to select the correct branding package
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make grub2 theming data available in the initrd
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed string validation in info message in KIWICollect so that it actually shows the content of $metapack
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove import of graphics boot \'message\' file when using grub2 In order to support custom branding in kiwi for grub it worked the way that one provides the theme data and together with gfxboot-devel a special formatted \'message\' file was created and stored inside the initrd. The setupBootLoaderStages() function then imported that file to the system image. In grub2 the theme data is just fonts and png\'s and there is no creation of a special graphics format required.
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - hide plymouth splash when showing a dialog
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - switched to grub2-branding-openSUSE for openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - grub2 can handle real spaces in menu items, yeah :)
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added grub2 theme support for the openSUSE theme layout
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - better info message when --targetstudio option is used
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - provide ROOTFS_BLKDEV before calling init/systemd - don\'t export variables used by the boot scripts in the cleanImage function. This function is called in an extra shell process thus exporting back is not possible
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed resizeFilesystem to prefer btrfs over btrfsctl
Tue Jun 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added variable kiwi_cpio_name which allows to access the name of the initrd image from within the initrd. This is currently used to distinguish the initrd by the type of the distro
Mon Jun 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: improved testing for networks by using -T option
Mon Jun 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed createOriginSnapshot to prefer btrfs over btrfsctl
Mon Jun 25 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - indicate check failure through return value (undef)
* we should have it correct now. Previously a 1 was returned, indicating success. This change returns no value on failure to indicate the failed state of the check.
Sat Jun 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.25 released
Sat Jun 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed __checkVMscsiCapable() it\'s a valid setup if no machine configuration is specified in the kiwi XML
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 toganmAATTsuse.de - fix the suse-live-usbstick config according to the version
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.24 released
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure getExecPath() also works when invoked as non root user. It\'s required that PATH contains /sbin to locate binaries used by kiwi with the \'which\' tool. This problem appeared when calling the unit tests as non root user like the buildservice does when building packages, thus this fixes the build
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.23 released
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed boot logging, make sure the log continues after switching to the real root filesystem
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added runtime check for get_kernel_version binary. This is a suse only extension so when running on other build hosts it should be checked if it\'s there.
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added uninstall target to Makefile
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make udevStart() aware of alternative location for udevd binary
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure kmod stays in the initrd, with respect to other distros which already moved from module-init-tools to kmod
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed udevSystemStart / udevSystemStop to check which system service manager can be used to run the service
Fri Jun 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed kernel sysconfig template check, that\'s a suse only check and even we change our own names all the time
Thu Jun 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.22 released
Thu Jun 21 14:00:00 2012 rneuhauserAATTsuse.de - kiwi.pl: simpler date(1) use. calling \'date -I\' is insensitive to locale which means:
* LANG=POSIX is not needed, thus
* explicit bash invocation is not needed (it was there because the syntax for setting env. vars varies among shells
Thu Jun 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed date call in usage() function to work with native qx
Thu Jun 21 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - clean up to perl critic level 4 - disable the brief file open/close check
* this check is unreliable when using multiple open/close constructs in one routine.
Thu Jun 21 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - remove duplicate implementation of method to get a list of packages marked for boot inclusion. The methods getListBootIncludes() and getBootIncludes() used to implement the same functionality. This update removes the getListBootIncludes() method.
Thu Jun 21 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add profile handling verification to the package and type unit tests
Thu Jun 21 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add additonal condition to avoid warning
* At present it is possible to trigger a \"uninitialized value\" warning when calling the addPackages() method, if not all packages that are to be added are boot included. This change fixes this issue.
Wed Jun 20 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file, require grub2 for >= openSUSE 12.2
Wed Jun 20 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update migration table
Wed Jun 20 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - clean to critic level 3
Wed Jun 20 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - clean to critic level 4
Wed Jun 20 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - do not attempt to normalize a path that has not been defined to begin with
Wed Jun 20 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - clean to perlcritic level 4
* critic exception around the unify function
* style clean up to more closely resemble the rest of kiwi code
Wed Jun 20 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added get_kernel_version source into kiwi git. We might want to install this tool on distros which doesn\'t provide it
Wed Jun 20 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - modify the default critic policy for brief open
* by default a close() is expected within 9 lines of an open call. Accounting for potential kiwi logging information and other coding constructs we use this is ofetn insufficient. Therefore a line limit of 15 is a bit more reasonable for the kiwi code base
Wed Jun 20 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add XML unit tests for type handling
Wed Jun 20 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use strip section in RHEL JeOS template to remove some unneded data not required in the initrd
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.21 released
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove bootsplash from the delete section in the openSUSE 12.2 boot image descriptions, bootsplash is no longer installed thus it doesn\'t make sense to list it in the delete sections
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure JeOS for 12.2 installs glibc-locale
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - small cleanup for info message
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update JeOS 12.2 image description, install in bootstrap because zypper in 12.2 is so flaky and bugy throwing segfaults all the time and nobody cares about it :(
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added grub2 to openSUSE 12.2 boot image descriptions
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use bootstrap only installation for openSUSE 12.2 boot images
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - s390: make sure we wait for udev to finish after fdasd is done
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use grub2 as bootloader for openSUSE 12.2 JeOS except for xenFlavour
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed grub2-mkimage call, target format of core image must be set
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - add plymouth to JeOS image description
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup list of image packages selected in the openSUSE 12.2 boot image descriptions. The ones removed here were already installed by the selection/requirements of the bootstrap packages section
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - switched from bootsplash to plymouth splash screen in the openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added required plymouth packages to boot descriptions for openSUSE 12.2
Tue Jun 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for plymouth splash system
Mon Jun 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: added more sophisticated partition table check. The partition table is analyzed to check if it\'s possible to run the update check and also to verify partition order, types and sizes with some tolerance (so for example the change to 4k sectors would not cause repartitioning). Additionally in a RAID setup the checks would check both disks.
Mon Jun 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove references to splashy
Fri Jun 15 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.20 released
Fri Jun 15 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed unit test due to changes in the logging
Fri Jun 15 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.19 released
Fri Jun 15 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - additional unit tests for package handling in the XML object
Fri Jun 15 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added lxc as a recommended package to the spec file
Fri Jun 15 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - rename the getTypeList method to getTypeSpecificPackageList
* the method returns a list of packages for the given image build type. This was not obvious from the previous method name.
Fri Jun 15 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - call images.sh and config.sh scripts in a contained environment using LXC. The function callContained() will use lxc if it is installed on the build host machine. If it is not there or lxc-execute cannot be called the function switches to the legacy chroot method. Using a container to call custom scripts provides more protection against the nasty things one can do in a script with root permission
Thu Jun 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t umount dev and sys filesystems in umountSystemFileSystems this is done by kiwi in the cleanup phase
Thu Jun 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed logging, use only one global log object which is used by all objects to make sure all messages end up in the same log file
Thu Jun 14 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - more unit tests for XML
Thu Jun 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.18 released
Thu Jun 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.17 released
Thu Jun 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - s390: sleep for a while after recreating the vtoc table
Thu Jun 14 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - clean KIWICommandLine.pm and KIWIQX.pm to perlcritic level 4
* all other file changes to properly import the symbols from KIWIQX
Thu Jun 14 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - exclude additional unit tests in OBS as they need network access
Wed Jun 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - reread partition table after recreation of the VTOC table
Wed Jun 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - s390: initialize loader variable with zipl by default
Wed Jun 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - s390 netboot: recreated the vtoc table with option \'r\' instead of \'u\' which includes the deletion all partitions
Wed Jun 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added function umountSystemFileSystems() which is used to umount system filesystems like proc within the given root tree. This is called after a custom script call to cleanup the environment
Wed Jun 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - s390: fixed normalizeRepartInput to work with fdasd
Wed Jun 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - provide a pointer to the xml to createImageFormat() which allows to only create the machine configuration without direct access to the image file for reading the xml data
Wed Jun 13 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - clean the unit test implementations to perlcritic level 4
Wed Jun 13 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - switch back to perl-Test-Unit
* the package has been fixed and is back in factory/oS 12.2
Wed Jun 13 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - set the db45-utils package as recommend for openSUSE 12.1 and later
* at present a user running into a rpm db incompatibility issue may get an error message that the db45_load tool is not available. This leaves the user with no idea where the tool may be found. Unfortunately the command-not-found utility does not turn up the command either. Setting the package as recommends increases the chance that it will be installed when KIWI packages get installed.
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - overlooked one format conversion call and make them skip if in --targetstudio mode
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed building of md5 sum and compressed image when in --targetstudio mode. In this mode we don\'t dump an image from the generated target device, thus the building of the md5 sum and the compressed version of the image must access the device
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 adrianAATTsuse.de - require u-boot-tools for oem images on arm
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - instead of skipping the entire format conversion when in --targetstudio mode we only skip the creation of the format but not the meta data which belongs to it
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - skip format conversion when in --targetstudio mode
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - remove duplicate implementation of buildImageName method
* the buildImageName was implemented in the XML and the Image object. This change removes the duplicate implementation and moves the method with the generateBuildImageName into the Global object. It is expected that a better place will be found eventually.
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use value of --targetstudio when building iso images
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed --targetdevice mode to work with NBD/AoE devices as well. if a network block device receives a partition table there is no automatic creation creation of devices per partition. Thus it\'s required to call kpartx to bind those devices prior to using it
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - additional unit tests for package handling - skip tests that require network access - fix up tests to verify network resolve for local test runs
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add Environment variable to allow tests that require network access to be skipped in OBS
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - make resolveLink and resolveArchitecture \"private\"
* these methods should not be called from outside of the XML object, and most likely this should not be here to begin with
Mon Jun 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added option --targetstudio which is used to specify a program which creates the target device node to create the image on. In contrast to the targetdevice option there will be no image file dumped from the specified device. This option is mainly used in SuSE Studio
Mon Jun 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use dd when reading data from a disk block device use qemu-img convert instead which takes care for sparse information
Mon Jun 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - setupEncoding ist not called if a targetdevice is specified instead of the standard loop device operations. Thus luks extension together with --targetdevice did not work. This patch fixes it
Mon Jun 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - call fdasd relatively and not with absolute path
Mon Jun 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove logging of hijacked studio commands
Mon Jun 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - allow createImageXFS to work with a target device
Mon Jun 11 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit tests for XML object verifying package, pattern, and archive handling
Fri Jun 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.16 released
Fri Jun 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed the ZYPP_ARIA2C=0 \'hack\' which is there only because of a bug in aria2c we\'d better fix aria2c instead of maintaining a workaround for that inside kiwi.
Fri Jun 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure timezone package is installed as part of the bootstrap installations. zypper in openSUSE 12.2 crashes if it can\'t find /etc/localtime. A bug for this problem has been opened. As it seems zypper requires a timezone we should make sure to install one from within bootstrap
Fri Jun 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.15 released
Fri Jun 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"- the env setting ZYPP_ARIA2C=0 caused a segmentation fault\" problem is that this change caused other unexpected behavior in zypper :( I will investigate more here
* This reverts commit 31e0d0cadfdc9f678e9675754e83674054d29d83
Fri Jun 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - just found out that also obs:// URL\'s doesn\'t work for plain package building inside the buildservice. So I had to change the unit tests again
Fri Jun 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - the env setting ZYPP_ARIA2C=0 caused a segmentation fault for zypper in openSUSE 12.2. I think if there is a bug in aria2c we\'d better fix aria2c instead of work around that inside kiwi. Therefore I removed this \'hack\'
Fri Jun 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use remote URL\'s other than obs:// in the unit tests the buildservice refused to resolve them so the unit tests works locally but not during build, thus the package build fails
Fri Jun 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.14 released
Thu Jun 7 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit test for prefer-license attribute setting unique requirement
Thu Jun 7 14:00:00 2012 dmajdaAATTsuse.de - Fixed deleting of /usr/lib/gconv content in baseStripLocales The \"find\" command in baseStripLocales finds not only files in /usr/lib/gconv, but also the directory itself which cannot be removed by the call of \'rm\' in that case
Thu Jun 7 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - check that the prefer-license attribute is set to true only once
* if the attribute is set to true multiple times it results in an ambiguity that cannot be resolved. As the outcome of the image build is indeterminate in this case we need to error out of the process.
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup kernel profiles: For openSUSE -base is a subset of !-base
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: allow multicast TFTP for compressed images (fate #313083)
* the predownload hook detects that it is possible to use service partition for intermediate files and exports the temp dir path in $FETCH_FILE_TEMP_DIR
* the fetchfile() method uses the temp directory and exports the intermediate file path in $FETCH_FILE_TEMP_FILE if it was created
* the postdownload hook deletes $FETCH_FILE_TEMP_FILE. Later we can extend it to manage a cache of several image files.
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: added robust detection of the active network interface
* call dhcpcd on all available network interfaces and select either BOOTIF from pxe or one of the interfaces which got a dhcp reply (fate #313338)
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - adapt schema version from 5.3 to 5.4 for unit test data
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit test for getRepoNodeList
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit tests related to driver handling
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - apply stylesheet conversion from schema 5.3 to 5.4
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added xsl stylesheet which removes the type attribute from the sections and also increases the schema version from 5.3 to 5.4
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - rename addRepository to addRepositories
* the method may be used to add multiple repositories, this should be reflected in the method name.
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation due to removal of the drivers type attribute
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove type attribute from drivers section entirely
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation due to change in the type attribute in the drivers sections
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t evaluate type of drivers sections. There is only type \'drivers\' now available
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove use of netdrivers,scsidrivers,usbdrivers typed drivers sections and merge them into one section
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - limit type attribute of drivers section to \'drivers\'
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add unit tests for repo handling in the XML object
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add argument check to addRepository() method at present it is possible to attempt to add a repository with an invalid type. This may lead to unpredictable behavior during build. While the type is verified when given on the command line, the additional validation is needed for migration when we add repos from a running system.
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add log message for repository replacement at present no message is issued if a replacable repository is replaced with a new repository
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add info message when repositories are being ignored
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add doc string to the prefer-license attribute in the schema documentation. Previously there was no documentation and the name was not necessarily obviously implying the intension of the attribute.
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - added unit tests for:
* getStripNodeList() method of XML object
* getConfigName() method of XML object
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - comment out variable that is only used for debug printing
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - rename of functions:
* getNodeList() to getRepoNodeList() the getNodeList name is too generic and does not indicate by name what can be expected about the information returned by the method
* getRepository() method to getRepositories() the method returns all repository information, thus this should be reflected in the method name
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update schema documentation include info about new XML element
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - do not call the test log internal __reset() method. calling __reset() would ignore any potential other states and therefore would ignore potential error conditions. Calling getState() instead and ignoring the returned value ensures that only one state is set in the log as expected after calling the getErrorState() method.
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit test for new element
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation: include info about new XML element
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add new element
* allow users to specify a default location for pre-built boot images in the configuration file.
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - re-sort the attributes of the type element into alpha order
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure return value from cleanupRPMDatabase() is passed correctly and handled
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.13 released
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - really fixed cleanupRPMDatabase() by using the db_dump|db45_load method
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.12 released
Sun Jun 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed test_invalidProfileRequest(), it modifies the message data thus it needs a reset to prevent after effects in subsequent tests
Sun Jun 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - perl Test::Unit doesn\'t work for 12.2 anymore. Other than that is\'s unmaintained since 2005. Therefore we switch to Test::Unit::Lite which is also not really maintained but at least still works
Sat Jun 2 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit tests for profile handling
* these do not test the usage of profiles, only the storage of profile data in the XML object and the consistency check upon profile request, usage will be integrated into other test at a later date
Sat Jun 2 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - make the checkProfiles method of the XML object \"private\"
* this is an XML internal helper method and should not be called by other modules
Sat Jun 2 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit test for XML object user data storage
Sat Jun 2 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - make the getVMConfigOpts method on the XML object \"private\"
* this is an internal helper method and should not be called from other modules
Sat Jun 2 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - make the getPreferencesNodeByTagName XML method \"private\"
* this is an XML object internal method and should not be called by other modules
Fri Jun 1 14:00:00 2012 adrianAATTsuse.de - kernel-pae does only exists on i586/i686 architecture
Fri Jun 1 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - eliminate getXenDomain method from XML
* the domain is part of the Xen config and can be accessed via getXenConfig we should not have multiple methods to get the same data
Fri Jun 1 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.11 released
Thu May 31 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit test for XML validation of the volume element test to verify that the combination of \"size\" and \"freespace\" on the element is rejected.
Thu May 31 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - do not allow the use of the \"size\" and \"freespace\" attributes in combination. At present a user can specify both the \"size\" and \"freespace\" attributes on the element. In this case the setting of the \"freespace\" attribute is ignored, therefore allowing the combination of the attributes is misleading and should be disallowed
Thu May 31 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - XML object unit tests for LVM related methods
Thu May 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: renamed boot and JeOS images from suse-Factory to suse-12.2
Thu May 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed rt kernel profile, there is no kernel-rt for openSUSE
Thu May 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed handling of obs URL path within KIWIURL. if the created obs path does not exist proceed and check again as opensuse URL type. This was done only in KIWIRoot but belongs to the URL module
Thu May 31 14:00:00 2012 adrianAATTsuse.de - remove packages which do not exist in 12.2 anymore
Wed May 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - add empiric code to calculate size for btrfs images... not nice
Wed May 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure btrfs based images provide a common subvolume setup as explained in (bnc #764703)
Wed May 30 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit test for addStrip method of XML object
* verify error condition of improper call
* verify proper addition for delete, libs, and tools
Wed May 30 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix addStrip method of XML object
* when adding new strip information we need to check if an element with the given type already exists, if yes the information needs to be added to the existing type. If a new element is added with the same type as an existing element the getStrip *() implementations will not return the correct information. This is a latent bug.
* also added a consitency check to ensure the method only adds strip elements of supported types.
Wed May 30 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add unit tests for XML getStrip * methods
Wed May 30 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - make the getStripFileList of the XML object \"private\", this is an internal helper method and should not be called from other KIWI modules
Wed May 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.10 released
Wed May 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"- eliminate getXenDomain method from XML\" This breaks kiwi in KIWIXML.pm:getImageConfig() This reverts commit a2a9509c6ef44f09cdf2b8a271387de4bec071dc.
Wed May 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.9 released
Tue May 29 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - allow direct root tree access for btrfs and xfs when creating the virtual disk. For those two filesystem we had the intermediate step to create a filesystem image first which is then dumped via dd on the virtual disk.
Tue May 29 14:00:00 2012 adrianAATTsuse.de - enable PXE on arm platform, untested but PXE exists there and it is fixing building kiwi
Tue May 29 14:00:00 2012 adrianAATTsuse.de - create additional -requires packages for each boot description to track dependencies automatically in the openSUSE buildservice
Tue May 29 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - eliminate the use of expr and use shell\'s $((..)) expression instead
Sat May 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Sat May 26 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - eliminate getXenDomain method from XML the domain is patr of the Xen config and can be accessed via getXenConfig we should not have multiple methods to get the same data
Sat May 26 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit test for OVF data storage in the XML object
Fri May 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Fri May 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.8 released
Fri May 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure resizeLVMVolumes unsets FSTYPE before fsresize
Fri May 25 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add a reference to the online and local schema documentation
* a recent discussion on the mailing list revealed that there is no reference to the complete schema documentation in the docbook doc and not all available elements are listed in the docbook documentation
Fri May 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - apply oem dump and repart patches from x86 arch to ppc/s390 and arm. Reference commits are:
* update the chapter w.r.t. content, spelling, grammar
* add section to chapter 3 explaining the use of pre-built boot images in a recent discussion on the mailing list it was pointed out that the use of pre-built boot images is not documented
Fri May 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed OEM partition selection for LVM images. If there are exactly two partitions suitable for the install process it\'s possible to assign boot and root partition according to the partition ID\'s from the OEM image partition table. Thus we can prevent a selection dialog in this case. Additionally this commit added more information about the reason why partitions are rejected
Fri May 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure \'rev\' tool stays inside the initrd
Fri May 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed OEM partition install mode for LVM images
Fri May 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t install unnecessary doc meta data
Thu May 24 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added sync of schema docs to doc.opensuse.org
Wed May 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added sync of docs to doc.opensuse.org
Tue May 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.7 released
Tue May 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure systemctl stay inside the initrd. That\'s because the reboot tool is now a link to systemctl
Tue May 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.6 released
Tue May 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed baseStripUnusedLibs to work with library links pointing to library links (bnc#753574)
Tue May 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed baseStripUnusedLibs to work with library links pointing to an absolute path (bnc#753574)
Mon May 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed the way how the size request of LVM volumes in an oem image is processed. Before this patch the volumes were created with the requested size and stored in the image. Thus we store a lot of null bytes inside the image and also dump those null bytes when running the code of an oem install image. As the oem image by design expands itself on first boot according to the target disk and oem image configuration parameters, it\'s more clean and also faster to resize the volumes on first boot and not keep them with their requested size inside the image (bnc#761993)
Mon May 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed fstab flags for non root device entries
Mon May 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - apply suse-repart patch for ppc, s390 and arm architecture reference commit: a621b4e715ac18e1daabb644a9b3b8af2e316d24
Mon May 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make controller and id attributes optional in the vmdisk section
Mon May 21 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for openSUSE 12.2 / removed 11.3
Fri May 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild schema due to latest changes in .rnc
Thu May 17 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - remove superfluous () for variable declaration
Thu May 17 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - remove controller and id attribute settings from Xen example The controller and id attributes are not evaluated in the XML object for the Xen configuration, showing these settings in the examples is misleading to the user.
Thu May 17 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add qualifiers to attribute description of the machine and vmdisk elements. At present it is not obvious which of the attributes are evaluated for a given Virtual Machine image format when looking at the Schema documentation. The qualifiers address this situation.
Thu May 17 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - added unit tests:
* unit test for getEc2Config method of XML object
* unit test for getVMwareConfig method of XML object
* unit test for getXenConfig method of XML object
Wed May 16 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add the proper IP address to the Web-UI (sunstone) configuration file ~ presently the user has to manually change the configuration file and restart the server. This change eliminates this need, after the cloud is up and running the user can just access the Web-UI as the server is listening on the appropriate address.
Wed May 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added type attribute . This allows to set the size of the eventual boot partition. If no such size is set 150MB is the minimum size for the boot partition. The value has an effect for image types which creates a boot partition only, e.g LVM, split
Wed May 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed disk increasement stepsize from 100MB to 10MB
Wed May 16 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix type in comment
Wed May 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup of KIWIBoot constructor, avoid code duplication - added error check for kiwi --bootvm ... --bootvm-system if the system is not a root tree, rootfs image or partition device - prevent dumping the image from a --targetdevice if also the creation of an install media was set. This will speedup the build - make sure to use qemu-img convert to dump image from a targetdevice
Wed May 16 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - update the OpenNebula example:
* Adjustments for OpenNebula version 3.4.1 release
* Minor script fixes
Tue May 15 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use cat when reading data from a disk block device use qemu-img convert instead which takes care for sparse information
Mon May 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getSector() calculation, could be too small aligned
Mon May 14 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the vhd subformat=fixed type
Sat May 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added LVM volume information for all specified volumes to the profile env of the boot image. This is required to cleanly solve (bnc #761993)
Fri May 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - allow option --recycle-root to be used in a --build process If there is a root tree in /build/image-root available it will be used as system image tree. The build of the boot image is not affected by this root recycling
Fri May 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - additionally create md5 sum\'s for the kernel and the optional created splash initrd (fate #313338)
Fri May 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed setupNetwork * functions in a way that they check for the presence of the $root device and in case of an error and an existing root device LOCAL_BOOT is set and the system try to proceed with local boot of the installed system (fate #313338)
Fri May 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.5 released
Wed May 9 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed bootloader setup if yaboot is used. the boot partition id is set to fat (0xc) and we have to make sure to provide bootinfo.txt, yaboot.cnf and the yaboot binary at the root of the boot partition. We don\'t distinguish the layout between LVM and non LVM setup if yaboot is used in order to have a clean state
Wed May 9 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed function names installBootLoaderLilo and setupBootLoaderLilo to installBootLoaderYaboot and setupBootLoaderYaboot. lilo is only supported together with yaboot on ppc at the moment. So the function names are misleading and would block us if we want to add support for real lilo.
Wed May 9 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed package check for package scripts. The rpm database from the image root system has to be used instead of the build system package database
Tue May 8 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"- don\'t set vga= kernel parameter for lilo bootlader setup\" This reverts commit 5e815b28c84e805d4777551d67be8da0433e1238. lilo on ppc is something complete different than lilo on other architectures. The vga value is supported well on \'real\' lilo so this issue should be fixed in the bootloader
Mon May 7 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t set vga= kernel parameter for lilo bootlader setup I was told this causes trouble when lilo.conf is converted to yaboot.conf
Mon May 7 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use correct size for FAT table when yaboot is used
Mon May 7 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - we don\'t need the mbrid information for ppc/yaboot the searchOFBootDevice function doesn\'t request it
Mon May 7 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - respect custom boot timeout value for yaboot setup
Fri May 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t remove cpio program from initrd, required for custom splash setup follow up fix for the other architectures s390, ppc and arm
Fri May 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - allow evaluation of $DO_NOT_INSTALL_BOOTLOADER variable in netboot suse-preinit to prevent installation of the bootloader by a variable (bnc #760502)
Fri May 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: use --metadata=0.9 format for raid setup (bnc #760713)
Fri May 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.4 released
Fri May 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed URL repo check, correctly use is_success method and make sure every repo is checked for rpm-md _and_ repodata
Fri May 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed \'in progress\' indicators from messages containing a path People reported to be confused about the path to be complete :)
Fri May 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - create rootfs.meta data file which includes information about the required min size and (good) inode value for split systems. This prevents the initrd code from getting that information out of the rootfs.tar tarball and thus speeds up the boot
Thu May 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed unit test due to the removal of the aufs support
Thu May 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove the urlResponse() method and use the timeout function implemented in LWP::UserAgent properly to resolve URL\'s
Thu May 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure releaseNetwork() also deconfigures the interface and configuration. Meaning don\'t use the -p option as we already check for root over NFS/AOE/NBD it doesn\'t make sense anymore - make sure releaseNetwork() unsets the HOSTNAME as it might conflict with the later system image network setup
Thu May 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - allow kiwisplitroot_size= which specifies how much size is reserved for the tmpfs holding the temporary rootfs data in a split image. Also fixed the calculation of the inode number for this tmpfs
Thu May 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed support for aufs overlay filesystem. The problem is that no overlay filesystem like aufs, unionfs, deltafs and friends is accepted by the kernel people. Thus support for them inside the distribution(s) is hard to maintain and the system barely works. My hope is that some day there will be the mount --overlay method implemented in a clean way and supported by the kernel until then we live with the fuse based approach (clicfs) and the device mapper snapshot method for the caching system (bnc #760159)
Thu May 3 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit tests for preference settings
Thu May 3 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - check only for presence and boolean value The \"additive\" attribute is a boolean value, i.e. valid values are true or false. We should only check for supported values. The removed check for 0 is possibly an artifact from times where we alloed 0 to indicate false in the XML.
Thu May 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed hook call with parameters containing spaces (bnc #760331)
Wed May 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed redundancy in getElementsByTagName (\"...\") -> get_nodelist(); calls. According to the spec getElementsByTagName already returns the node list if called in array context.
Wed May 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added unit test for XML split settings
Tue May 1 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.3 released
Tue May 1 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed baseStripUnusedLibs() to be more robust and prepared for the move of libraries to another location
Tue May 1 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t remove cpio program from initrd, required for custom splash setup
Tue May 1 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.03.2 released
Fri Apr 27 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added optional attribute which allows to configure if the Failsafe boot menu entry for the install media should be displayed or not.
Fri Apr 27 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed misleading Restore wording in install iso boot menu
Fri Apr 27 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure required libs for filesystem tools stay inside the initrd
Thu Apr 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure libext2fs stays inside the initrd, it\'s required for tune2fs on Factory/openSUSE 12.2
Thu Apr 26 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evaluation of --edit-bootconfig. There is either the choice for setting the value on the commandline or as attribute inside the XML description. Before this fix the code did not correctly get the value depending on how kiwi is called - make sure any iso is created via the KIWIISOLinux provided functions. According to this editbootconfig now also works for the creation of installs ISO\'s
Thu Apr 26 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - unit tests for the getPXEDeploy * methods
Thu Apr 26 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix typo in XML OEM settings unit test configuration
Wed Apr 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure grub menu.lst is correctly utf-8 encoded
Wed Apr 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added __hasValidLVMName() runtime check. This checks if the optional LVM group name already exist on the build host.
Wed Apr 25 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in error message, $! is empty but we stored the messages in $status
Tue Apr 24 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed flag state for iso in extras/suse-11.4/suse-min-gnome
Tue Apr 24 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - redirect errors from rpm --rebuilddb into the result variable
Mon Apr 23 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.25 released
Sun Apr 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed loop in partition size check
Sun Apr 22 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added a check for the split read/write partition size when creating the virtual disk.
Sat Apr 21 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add unit tests for the getOEM * methods Prior to undertacing the restructuring of the XML object we need to get unit tests in place
Fri Apr 20 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.24 released
Thu Apr 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - take package section type into account when processing bootincluded packages. This means packages added as bootincluded into the e.g image section gets added to the image section in the boot image too. If the target description doesn\'t provide the section the package will be added to the default bootstrap section as before
Thu Apr 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove db4 package from the delete list in the RHEL boot image descriptions
Thu Apr 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed rpm package database rebuild check for RHEL/yum this reverts commit: c3e4ac88562074d87cad21e96cfe3d6dde976e48
Thu Apr 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - moved yum priority installation from the RHEL boot- into the system image template and make it a bootincluded package. That\'s because there are name differences like yum-priority and yum-plugin-priority
Thu Apr 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed rebuild of package database when yum is used
Wed Apr 18 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: adapt JeOS description for beagle and fixed building in emulated environment
Tue Apr 17 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - really fixed boot.script setup according to (bnc #757489)
Tue Apr 17 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: On other systems which supports a boot menu we add the linux kernel and initrd with its file names. But on arm systems there can only be one kernel because uboot doesn\'t support a menu. Thus perl-bootloader also doesn\'t support updating the uboot configuration and that\'s the reason why we use the links created by mkinitrd to point to the kernel and initrd in order to support kernel updates (bnc #757489)
Mon Apr 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - s390: fixed recreateVTOCTable() to wait until the volume group has settled before deactivating it in a LVM setup
Mon Apr 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - kiwi creates a link with filesystem extension pointing to the root filesystem image when created. The function compressImage creates a .gz version of that root filesystem image and therefore break the link. This fix enhances compressImage() in a way that it receives the filesystem information in order to repair the link
Mon Apr 16 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added oem type to s390 JeOS image description
Fri Apr 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added preCallInit hook to be available for the vmx type too
Fri Apr 13 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed partition based oem install method. parsing proc/partitions was broken in OEMFindPartitions because the ID device name was used as reference instead of the unix device name
Thu Apr 12 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - properly pick up splash image for pre-built initrd. At present it is not possible to use a splash screen with a prebuilt initrd. For a pre-built initrd the splash file is named with extension \'.spl\', but we are loking for the extension \'.splash.gz\', thus the file is not found. With this change we look for the file with the appropriate extension.
Wed Apr 11 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update list of allowed VMware guestOS values
Wed Apr 11 14:00:00 2012 winterAATTsuse.de - Fix the handling of the --mbrid command line switch The value passed to the --mbrid flag is parsed to an integer by GetOptions (format is \'o\' = extended integer). There is code checking whether this integer is within the expected range and formats it as hexadecimal value. But commit: a5c7ab512dfb02dd99044c1db1cbc46ab05bf221 introduced a regression in the way the value of the --mbrid flag was handled because the value is set using $cmdL -> setMBRID() before the range checking and conversion.
Wed Apr 11 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - prepare the code for the move of the udev tools to the usr tree. At present the location of udevadmin is hardcoded to /sbin, once the tools move into the /usr tree and a link exists the \'-x\' test will fail. This would result in broken images.
Mon Apr 9 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - Do not allow whitespce in the value of the name attribute for the and elements. At present the user can specify a name containing whitespace. This leads to problems that are difficult to diagnose in when the user tries to run the resulting image, as the image will not properly operate.
Sun Apr 8 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - Fix ownership issue with persistent tmpdir At present the script fails if /var/tmp does not exist. Although /var/tmp should always exist, the new code assures proper handling if this directory is missing.
Sun Apr 8 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - Fix race condition in launch script for openNebula test At present the test script may cause a condition where the openNebula infrastructure issues a \"[VirtualMachineAllocate] Error allocating a new virtual machine. Could not get disk image for VM.\" message. Giving the system some time to copy the image file eliminates this issue.
Wed Apr 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.22 released
Wed Apr 4 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed missing filesystem resize operation for LVM based images. If oem-systemsize and a freespace=all volume is setup kiwi resized only the freespace=all volume and missed to resize the root volume
Tue Apr 3 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed XSL stylesheet conversion: convert49to50.xsl the apply templates recursion is broken by using another mode so the fix is to stay in the same mode and select the value by a modified xpath expression
Mon Apr 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed misleading error message when kiwi can\'t find the image file on the pxe download server (bnc #754275)
Mon Apr 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed oem installation with luks encrypted root filesystem during the repartitioning the luks setup has to close down otherwise the partition table is busy (bnc #754978)
Mon Apr 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of sat job list, eliminate duplicate jobs
Mon Apr 2 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure solver failed packages/patterns are evaluated in info module

Fri Mar 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.21 released
Fri Mar 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed incorrect fstab entry created for read-only systems
Fri Mar 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed identifyDevice() to calculate the correct index for accessing an entry in the deviceArray list
Fri Mar 30 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - moved from md5_base64 to md5_hex for the creation of random repo alias names. md5_base64 could create names with a \'/\' and that causes trouble when checking for the existence of the repo file. In order to avoid to implement the same escape code as used by zypper in kiwi for such alias names, I\'d better moved the code to create hex number based alias names
Thu Mar 29 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure ZYPP_LOCKFILE_ROOT is set appropriately when zypper is used with --root option (bnc #753818)
Wed Mar 28 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed updateOtherDeviceFstab() to correctly create missing mount points inside the root file system (bnc #754344)
Wed Mar 28 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure volume group name doesn\'t contain white spaces
Fri Mar 23 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.20 released
Thu Mar 22 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: added support for optional ${append} bootargs variable (bnc #752623)
Tue Mar 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure loader variable is initialized
Mon Mar 19 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use -s option for losetup: the option -s is in collision with the Loop-AES losetup dialect that is used in some distributions. Use the long version (--show) only.
Mon Mar 19 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed repartition code for LVM concerning the use of element \'\' and \'freespace=all\' volume:
* if none of the two is specified, the root will be expanded to occupy all available space
* if only oem-systemsize is specified, the root will be expanded as much as specified
* if only freespace=all is specified (for non-root volume), then the root will not be expanded and the other volume will take all available space
* Finally, if both are specified, then the root will be expanded to take as much as oem-systemsize requires and any remaining space is assigned to the other volume.
Sat Mar 17 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed compare of object addresses by using refaddr. This is more robust because objects can overload operators like \'!=\'
Sat Mar 17 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed pattern names used in examples (bnc #752754)
Fri Mar 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.19 released
Fri Mar 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed order of files in an ova tar archive per spec in http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ovf_spec_draft.pdf (bnc #752581)
Fri Mar 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed malformed ovf file. the Envelope properties xmlns:rasd and xmlns:vssd are split in two lines with an extra quote (\") (bnc #752580)
Fri Mar 16 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - only remove the KIWI created initrd and kernel if mkinitrd run was successful - remove unused variable haveVMX
Thu Mar 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make split building more robust. the read-only partition size will be a bit bigger than the actual read-only filesystem image to be sure it fits into the partition. Due to the alignment this was required and costs a few bytes
Thu Mar 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure kernelCheck() initializes list of kernels if empty (bnc #752259)
Wed Mar 14 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t remove libbz2 from isoboot boot images for SLE11
Wed Mar 14 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed removePackages() function
* make sure rpmLibs() is called prior to rpm. if all packages are installed by bootstrap only this is required
* make sure to check for empty $final variable
Wed Mar 14 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added ovf format example to examples/suse-12.1/suse-vm-guest
Wed Mar 14 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - better warning message about required machine section data
Tue Mar 13 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - run the unit tests in verbose mode during package build
Mon Mar 12 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix Validator test Revert f551128061 and d76e57194c, comparison in question checks for equality of objects, thus numerical comparison is appropriate
Fri Mar 9 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.18 released
Fri Mar 9 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed entry for hv_netvsc.ko driver
Thu Mar 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - use string comparison operator for strings and not numeric op
Thu Mar 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - add new kernel module paths for Microsoft HyperV (hv) modules
Tue Mar 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of != operator in KIWIXMLValidator
Tue Mar 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed the rpmLibs() tricks, all that sucks
Tue Mar 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in KIWICollect.pm
Tue Mar 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added which based search for dracut/mkinitrd/depmod
Tue Mar 6 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - remove unused function callSUSEInitrdScripts The initrd is created by setupRHELInitrd and setupSUSEInitrd, there is no call in the code to callSUSEInitrdScripts
Mon Mar 5 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed removePackages():
* use options --noscripts --allmatches
* respect return code from rpm call
* make sure proc is mounted
Mon Mar 5 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - added function updateModuleDependencies() to update the kernel modules dependency list. Call this function prior to creating the initrd. This allows the user to add custom kernel modules and makes sure these get picked up when mkinitrd runs
Mon Mar 5 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make removePackages() to work with yum
Mon Mar 5 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - allow fixup of image min size if given size is too small - fixed partition size check
Mon Mar 5 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed logging of non CR terminated lines when in --logfile mode
Mon Mar 5 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.17 released
Mon Mar 5 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix for handling of console in kiwi initrd (bnc #749900)
* don\'t start blogd in kiwi initrd, doesn\'t make much sense
* fixed console output, stdout was wrongly redirected
* make sure utimer also works in the preinit code
Mon Mar 5 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.16 released
Mon Mar 5 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: fixed installation of MLO loader, wrong path
Sun Mar 4 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: added following boot fixes:
* To avoid any issues when parted leaves x86 boot code we zero out the first 440 bytes (MBR without ptable). The mandatory master boot id to identify the device is written afterwards
* make sure MLO is installed after repart again in installBootLoaderUBoot. Also make sure the same MBR cleanup code is applied in the kiwi boot code
Fri Mar 2 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.15 released
Fri Mar 2 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed handling of console in kiwi initrd (bnc #749900)
* removed use of klogconsole, we want kernel messages at that stage
* don\'t use tty devices, use /dev/console and remove kiwistderr
* allow debug shell only if tty device for it exists
* don\'t use extra terminal to show error information. all that is stored in /var/log/boot kiwi
Fri Mar 2 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added ec2region setup to ec2 example image descriptions
Fri Mar 2 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Thu Mar 1 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed default fstab setup to know about /run for udev
Thu Mar 1 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - update EC2 chapter Include information about EC2 tools handling of regions, us-east-1 is the default if not otherwise specified via EC2_URL, --url, or --region
Thu Mar 1 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed initrd module list for ec2 format code
Wed Feb 29 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - further cleanup of ec2 examples

Tue Feb 28 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: fixed setup of root device for local boot
Tue Feb 28 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added -base kernel packages for ec2 and xenk boot profiles
Tue Feb 28 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed mkinitrd call in ec2 format code:
* don\'t use -A also make sure the exit code of mkinitrd is evaluated
* make sure all required filesystem modules are added to /etc/sysconfig/kernel before calling mkinitrd
Tue Feb 28 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - respect size setup by user and don\'t add extra space for a possible boot partition
Mon Feb 27 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - because the input stream from XML is utf-8 encoded it\'s required to set binmode correctly to utf-8 too when writing the data out. This is at least required for the profile file inside the initrd because it contains data from the XML like the oem boot title
Sun Feb 26 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - changed partition alignment to align start and size of partitions to 4096 bytes. The value can be changed with the option --disk-alignment
Fri Feb 24 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.14 released
Fri Feb 24 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for grub2 based install iso images
Thu Feb 23 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.13 released
Thu Feb 23 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - follow up and improved fix for basePackBootIncludes to pack only items listed in the rpm package filelist but don\'t recursively look them up in the filesystem when tar\'ing them up (bnc #743159)
Thu Feb 23 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added creation of new meta file appdata.xml for product media
Thu Feb 23 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t remove opt and selinux from initrd
Wed Feb 22 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added possibility to specify an oem-unattended-id in the oemconfig section. The id is evaluated as part of the oem install code and can be either the string like it appears in dev/disk/by-id or by-path. if the option oem-unattended is set to true kiwi will try to assign the install device according to the specified id. if the id cannot be found a reboot exception is thrown. If no id is specified but unattended mode is requested the first entry of the sorted device list will be used like before this change
Wed Feb 22 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - sort list of devices found for installation in suse-dump
Tue Feb 21 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - remove \'fixed\' flagged repositories from boot image descriptions. As the boot image inherit the repo setup from the system image it\'s more flexible to let the system image decide for the repos
Tue Feb 21 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suseStripModules to return early if no update driver was found
Tue Feb 21 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added staging/hv drivers to SLE11 boot image descriptions. Beginning with SLE11-SP2 the drivers are part of the standard kernel and thus they should be preserved (bnc #747898) - with reference to (bnc #747898) a new function called suseStripModules() has been added. The function searches for update modules and removes the old version which might be provided by the standard kernel to prevent a load clash
Tue Feb 21 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix improper call off stripImage() - fix some cosmetic issues
Mon Feb 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.12 released
Mon Feb 20 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed resetBootBind, the function did not properly check for the existence of the boot_bind directory
Fri Feb 17 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.11 released
Fri Feb 17 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - deactivate volume groups always with their name as argument - fixed setDefaultDeviceMap to respect device naming conventions
Fri Feb 17 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - finally fixed setupBootPartition in a clean way. kiwi creates a volume label named \'BOOT\' if a boot partition is used. setupBootPartition searches for the label and setup the boot partition accordingly. Along with the change the functions update *BootDeviceFstab and resetBootBind were also adapted. There is now only one updateBootDeviceFstab handling the boot partition entry for all modes if required
Thu Feb 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.10 released
Thu Feb 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added virtio drivers for sle10 boot image descriptions (bnc #747346)
Thu Feb 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: make boot.script more robust by checking alternative variable names for kernel and initrd addresses
Thu Feb 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed checkLVMbind so that it directly reads the LVM header from the specified disk device
Thu Feb 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: fixed installation of MLO loader, wrong path
Thu Feb 16 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - call resetBootBind before preinit (bnc #747241)
Wed Feb 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - removed use of suseRemovePackagesMarkedForDeletion
Wed Feb 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: renamed image descriptions to \'Factory\' - arm: removed use of suseRemovePackagesMarkedForDeletion
Wed Feb 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: added vram setup to JeOS description - arm: fixed boot.script setup on first boot
Wed Feb 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation, added chapter about image caching
Wed Feb 15 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: added mmc sd card drivers to boot image descriptions
Tue Feb 14 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t call images.sh and config.sh when in --init-cache mode - don\'t evaluate packages type=\"delete\" section in --init-cache mode - added check for rpm binary in cleanupRPMDatabase
Tue Feb 14 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: make creation of boot.script more generic by using kerneladdr and ramdiskaddr variables - arm: fixed JeOS console setup for efika, setup baudrate
Tue Feb 14 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added newline for messages waiting for status flag when they are written to the kiwi log file. It hurts when multiple log messages are written without a newline
Mon Feb 13 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: fixed setup of boot.script, missing redirect
Fri Feb 10 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.9 released
Fri Feb 10 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for iso boot process from external loader If the boot option isofrom=\"storage-device:path/to/iso\" is given the isoboot initrd will try to use the contents of this device to boot up the system. This allows to externally load the linux kernel and initrd with e.g grub2\'s loopback support and let the iso image exist as a file instead of being dumped on a target device Details on the use case can be found in (bnc #746351)
Thu Feb 9 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - remove superfluous boot.local
Thu Feb 9 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - store mbrid for iso images as Application ID and not as Volume ID
Wed Feb 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed importFile function to export only prefixed version of the variable if there is a prefix and not both (bnc #732247)
Wed Feb 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed import of dhcp info file (bnc #745548)

* added patternType plusRecommended
* added comment about package prefer problem
* added path resolver function
Wed Feb 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - migration: fixed service setup, use chkconfig
Mon Feb 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - arm: Now that x-loader on OMAP can boot from ext2, let\'s also teach kiwi about that awesome new capability. This gets rid of the vfat based boot partition and moves it to an ext2 based one. Additionally the 64MB limit on the boot partition is gone because the MLO is installed in the first 128kb of the disk and is no longer part of the boot partition. Kudos to Alexander Graf you added all this.
Mon Feb 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - s390: fixed bootdevice setup for zipl
Mon Feb 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added rootfs check to ec2 format code

Fri Feb 3 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - v5.02.8 released
Fri Feb 3 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - moved validation of delete section into setup() routine - dont\'t use basePackBootIncludes/baseUnpackBootIncludes anymore this conflicts with bootincluded packages marked for deletion
Thu Feb 2 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - keep only the uBoot initrd representation and remove the gzip version of the initrd from the boot partition. This saves some space urgently needed because on arm the boot partition is fixed 64MB
Thu Feb 2 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add unit test for getExecArgsFormat() method of KIWILocator - implement helper executables for the test in new bin directory - fix logic errors in getExecArgsFormat() found by unit test implementation
Wed Feb 1 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - migration: fixed repo dir detection
Wed Feb 1 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - migration: sort repo list information
Wed Feb 1 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - migration: write cache early enough
Wed Feb 1 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - migration: added support for svn detection

Wed Feb 1 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - migration changes:
* added progress information while creating custom tree
* make custom files creation much faster
* make modified files creation faster
Mon Jan 30 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - allow use of merged solvable in KIWISatSolver
Mon Jan 30 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - migration changes:
* create custom tree for unpackaged files/dirs based on hardlinks
* don\'t copy entire etc/ directory, doesn\'t make sense to have all especially packages stuff in the overlay tree
* adapt deny list, ignore bootsplash and bootloader data for migration
Fri Jan 27 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix spec file, version of RPM on SLE does not handle %else if directives thus we get a dependency to qemu-img is created, but this package does not exist on SLE.

Sat Jan 14 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix \"off by 1\" error The created image is either 1M or 8K larger than the created partition for images that require a boot partition (XFS or Btrfs filesystems). This triggers a failure when the image is dumped to the partition in the disk image. See mailinglist thread http://groups.google.com/group/kiwi-images/browse_thread/thread/8988598856aee92d
Fri Jan 13 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for setupBootLoaderGrub2 and installBootLoaderGrub2 in kiwi\'s initrd code. The functions are called on first deployment of the image and create the system bootloader configuration via grub2-mkconfig and grub2-install

Fri Jan 13 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - deactivate the use of basePackBootIncludes/baseUnpackBootIncludes These functions can be used to preserve and restore the contents of bootincluded packages/archives. We used it to prevent removal of files by the suseStripInitrd function. Due to the change of suseStripInitrd we are now more flexible to control what stays in- and what should be removed from the initrd which makes the use of basePackBootIncludes/baseUnpackBootIncludes obsolete

Thu Jan 12 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - find a way to install grub2 into a partition :)
Wed Jan 11 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - first start of supporting grub2 in kiwi, still missing parts are:
* graphics boot setup, no font or theme is provided by SUSE
* first boot setup, it\'s not clear if we use grub2-mkconfig or if kiwi has to write the configuration by itself
* recovery grub2 setup, this normally means install grub into a partition. So far I wasn\'t able to install grub2 at another place than the MBR
Wed Jan 11 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - increased wait timeout for CDDevice search

Wed Jan 4 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix gpg signature import The failure is triggered by a behavior changes of /usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/dumpsigs on openSUSE 12.1. The updated implementation must be called with a comand line argument, i.e. the gpg file. Previous implementations (checked openSUSE 11.4 and SLES 11 SP1) of dumpsigs also accept this commandline argument, thus the change is backward compatible.

* added vmxboot image description for armv7l
* added kernel profiles: tegra (tegra boards), omap2plus (panda boards), omap3beagle (beagle boards) and imx51 (efika boards). Tested only on panda and there are still plenty of problems. Don\'t expect this support to be ready and stable !
* added JeOS example image for arm, target SLE12

Fri Dec 16 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added end partition alignment which needs to be aligned to head/sectors (aka 255 *63 in the loopback case). The end sector needs to end one block before the next cylinder starts. Additionally the value for what the kernel thinks about the heads sectors and sectorsize can be set via:
* --bios-heads
* --bios-sectors
* --bios-sector-size
Fri Dec 16 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - change resource file hierarchy, the resource file in the local directory wins over the one in the home directory (Globals.pm) - clean Globals.pm to level 5 critic - partial level 5 critic clean of Boot.pm
Fri Dec 16 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Thu Dec 15 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add support for the new Amazon EC2 South America (announced as Sao Paulo) region
Wed Dec 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed xen initrd inflate/deflate problem. Xen see the bootsplash at the end of the initrd as garbage and refuses to boot. With this patch we skip the bootsplash setup if it\'s xen (bnc #736491)

Fri Dec 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed udev database transfer. udev stores the database in /run and in /dev/.udev. kiwi did not take care for the information in /run which has a bad impact on systemd waiting for udev events which did not appear. Along with this fix the changes from commit 1a12ad0974ea were partially reverted. The obsolete udev rule is gone again and we don\'t use the exit control signal in udevSystemStop. The more failsafe udev exit code in the initrd udevKill() function has been tested and will stay there (bnc #731457)
Fri Dec 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v5.01.7 released

Thu Dec 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed --grub-chainload setup. In this mode the mbr from the master-boot-code package is used to call the grub installed into a partition. The code there was broken in a way that the filesystem on that partition was damaged
Thu Dec 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed boot device setup for split build
Thu Dec 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update 12.1 examples

Mon Dec 5 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - clean up build process
* moved swig to libsatsolver-devel. Only required if kiwi builds the legacy satsolver module if no perl-satsolver exists
* removed trang to get rid of java dependency. trang is used to transform kiwi\'s rnc schema code into the rng syntax. If the rng is up to date the build doesn\'t have to create it though
* removed obsolete Qt requirement. The tool which needed this is not packaged/required anymore
* make the build work for the arm architecture
Mon Dec 5 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - remove obsolete code and speedup removal of files in suseStripInitrd

Mon Nov 28 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for plain tar image type named \'tbz\'. This image type just builds a bz2 compressed tarball from the prepared tree as requested in report (bnc #732797)
Mon Nov 28 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed unit test for valid arch check
Fri Nov 25 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - before adding a repo check if it already exists. if yes remove it prior to add it

Thu Nov 24 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed zypper repo setup. Don\'t let --raw-cache-dir point to cache-dir. Redirecting raw-cache-dir to cache-dir makes packages/ and solv/ appear to be orphaned raw metadata caches for ex-repos packages and solv. Also don\'t re-add the repo if it\'s already there. Just update the path for local repos to work with the bind mounted path inside the chroot. (bnc #731090)
Thu Nov 24 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file to build on RHEL as well
Wed Nov 23 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - clean up ppc code. make sure loader variable is passed to the yaboot configuration. Also handle partition layout and bootloader setup according to the bootloader value and not according to the architecture value
Wed Nov 23 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - properly handle specification of \"scsi\" controller type for VMWare images This requires the \"-o scsi\" option to be present for the qemu-img command on the build machine. - implement new check in RuntimeChecker to verify that qemu-img supports proper option if controller=\"scsi\" is specified and a vmdk image is being built - clean KIWIRuntimeChecker to critic level 4

Tue Nov 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v5.01.3 released
Tue Nov 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - allow initrd variable NON_PERSISTENT_DEVICE_NAMES. If set to a non empty string it will cause getDiskID() to return the non persistent kernel device node name like /dev/sda. This is to support storage devices with name conflicts when using the udev generated node names.

Mon Nov 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - apply quoting of .profile contents during build (bnc #729315)
Mon Nov 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed inode count calculation. Since vmmbytes is the image size in MB, we need to mutiply it to get the count right because inode ratio is in bytes/inode
Mon Nov 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update repo paths for kiwi specific rhel6 packages
Mon Nov 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed call of checkmedia (bnc #730763)
Mon Nov 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v5.01.2 released
Sun Nov 20 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of useless udev tmpfs in udevStart() because this is created as devtmpfs/tmpfs properly in createInitialDevices() which is called in udevStart
Sun Nov 20 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - in LVM case on ppc the boot partition should be fat16 (part type c)
Sun Nov 20 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - shorten verification message in suse-dump
Sun Nov 20 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup run-init code, prevent redundant calls
Sun Nov 20 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure /sbin/ifup stays in the initrd
Fri Nov 18 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - prevent umount of fstab listed subvolumes before calling systemd. The former sysvinit did not like if another than the root filesystem was mounted at call time but systemd handles this differently and times out when processing the fstab listed entries
Thu Nov 17 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure fat16 is used for boot partition on ppc
Thu Nov 17 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - adapt common changes in the x86 oem boot code to the ppc code also make sure partition table layout on ppc is the same than on all other architectures
Thu Nov 17 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - adapt common changes in the x86 oem boot code to the s390 code
Wed Nov 16 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - use $pID instead of fixed number

Tue Nov 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getDeleteList() to take care if a package was added as bootincluded that it is not removed by an entry in the delete type packages section. A warning message is added to the log file that this package is ignored in the delete list, thus it will be installed. This problem often appear if one added a package to be included in the initrd but the initrd image description marked this package as to be deleted
Tue Nov 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure the default strip tools and libs are appended if one has specified such a strip section in the system image description (bnc #720933)
Tue Nov 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added lvm2 to 12.1 JeOS

Tue Nov 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - allow strip sections to be part of the system image. This provides full control over the initrd striping code for items to delete and tools and libraries to stay (bnc #720933)
Tue Nov 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed fixed strip lists from suseStripInitrd() and provide a default strip table in KIWIConfig.txt. There is now the strip section which can be of type \'delete\', \'libs\' or \'tools\' the delete typed section specifies files to remove from the initrd. The tools typed section specifies the tool names in /bin|/sbin|/usr/bin/|/usr/sbin which should stay whereas all other tools in that directories are removed. And the libs typed section specifies those libraries which has to stay whereas all other libraries without any ldd reference are removed. (bnc #720933)
Tue Nov 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - save some space in the initrd by removing licenses and iptables packages. Added them in the type=\"delete\" sections

Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add collection of perlcritic exceptions to the statistics collector - change collector such that only the next scan time is written and not he whole \"old\" content that does not change. New data is added to the file at the end - add the doc stats collector provided by Thomas, this is not yet integrated, but I thought we shouldn\'t loose the code - register the collector code in the hook
Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation, mention Microsoft HyperV (vhd) format
Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update kiwi --help output to show supported vhd format
Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - renamed image format vpc to vhd. vhd seems to be the well known name for Microsoft HyperV images (bnc #729857)
Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v5.01.1 released
Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure IFS is restored in fdasdGetPartitionID
Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - integrate unit test run into the pre-commit hook
* if a file is changed that has an associated unit test and the test has not been executed after the changes were made the test is run prior to commit - fix the runTest code to generate a timestamp file when a test is run and it succeeds - clean up kiwiCommandLine.pm, kiwiLocator.pm, and KIWIXMLValidator.t to critic level 4
* clean up used to test new hook functionality - clean up KIWISharedMem.pm to critic level 5
* clean up used to test new hook functionality
Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed type in runTests, also set execution bit on the script
Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of initial aligned partition table in KIWIBoot.pm In SuSE studio the loop device which is normally the target for parted is relinked behind the scene to a virtio device. As result parted now sees a real disk geometry and that induced the bug in kiwi which is not visible if it operates on the file mapped loop device only. Looking at that partition code has turned out that the alignment is broken which in the end broke the repartition process in the first boot of an oem install image. The code is now fixed to work properly on any storage device (bnc #729636)
Thu Nov 10 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - modify Makefile to create timestamp files when tests are run - add .gitignore file to ignore timestamp files and timestamp directory - implement trigger files
* each trigger file contains a list of tests that should be run when the module with the equivalent name is changed. For example if KIWIXML.pm changes, the tests listed in KIWIXML.trig will be run - implement runTests
* contains the logic to execute tests as needed based on the trigger files and dependent on the timestamps
* this script needs to be integrated into the pre-commit hook to assure the appropriate tests get run prior to commit
Thu Nov 10 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update rng schema due to last change in rnc
Thu Nov 10 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed fdasdGetPartitionID() it was completely broken. The function evaluates the wrong information and was also syntactically wrong... I should tell myself each day \'never code in a hurry\'
Thu Nov 10 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - add Perl module compile check to pre-commit hook
* any Perl file (ending in .t, .pl, .pl that is changed is run through \"perl -wc\" prior to commit to assure the code at least builds - clean the KIWIArchlist module to critic level 5 and fix the style to match the rest of the code
Thu Nov 10 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed parameter quoting in setupBootLoader (bnc #729315)
Thu Nov 10 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - fix unit tests
* earlier update of ktLog broke the tests due to initialization problem with q{ } vs q{}, the later producing an empty string, the former a string with one space character, thus not empty. Empty string initialization is required in other parts of the code.
Thu Nov 10 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - include new EC2 region (US-West2), update the EC2 kernel IDs to the newly released v1.02 IDs, update code and docs, also fix the regular expression in hook to properly deal with .txt extension, i.e. ignore those files

Wed Nov 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - turn all fixed flaged http:// URI\'s in the x86 boot images into more flexible obs:// URI\'s
Wed Nov 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - if an obs:// path can\'t be resolved, turn it into an opensuse path and try again. That way you can use one URI to build the image inside the buildservice and also outside with network access
Wed Nov 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - changed cache creation. the cache is created from the image description referenced by --init-cache and we prevent the split into packages and patterns and the weird cache template in modules/KIWICache.kiwi. This allows to create cache only image descriptions whose only purpose is to create caches
Wed Nov 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed doubled my declaration of the same variable
Wed Nov 9 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - level 5 critic clean up, fix up the level 5 list in the hook

Tue Nov 8 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - work on critic level 5 clean up, this is mostly low hanging fruit. Also cleaned up the level 5 list in the hook for files that were already level 5 clean
Tue Nov 8 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - include test code in perlcritic checks, clean ktTestCase to level 3
Mon Nov 7 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - critic: ktLog.pm now at level 2 - critic: KIWIXMLValidator.pm now at level 5 - critic: added .perlcriticrc with following settings:
* allow mixed case naming
* no check for module VERSION
* disable check for RCS strings

Mon Nov 7 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure importFile() stays backward compatible and ensures proper quoting. Also make sure the prefixed variable copy is only created if a prefix was set (bnc #728357)
Mon Nov 7 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - switch from tar to rsync based copies. Reason for the change is because tar doesn\'t support file attributes like xattr,acls and fscaps (bnc #728312)
Mon Nov 7 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed left over debug message from KIWIXMLValidator.pm

Sun Nov 6 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - initial implementation of code statistics collector
Sat Nov 5 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - added git pre-commit hook to check the code with perlcritic git hooks are placed as source in the git in \'.git-hooks\' - put KIWIURL module to level 5 - put KIWILocator module to level 4
Sat Nov 5 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de - clean up to level 5 perlcritic, also found some syntax errors

Thu Nov 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - moved hook calls pre/postpartition outside of the block which allows to skip the partition code via the hook script
Wed Nov 2 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repartition code to create an aligned table (bnc #721580)
Mon Oct 31 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - setup PXE_IFACE interface only if PXE_IFACE exists in the environment. When using zPXE this variable does not exist
Mon Oct 31 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupNetworkStatic to write correct interface file
Mon Oct 31 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed static inittab and securetty overlay files from s390 JeOS template. The setup is done by setupConsole() in preinit

Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed appliance name escaping. One can use any string for the displayname attribute which is now properly escaped via perl\'s quotemeta(). Along with this change the image name attribute must match the pattern [a-zA-Z0-9_\\-\\.] and is not allowed to have the architecture string as part of the name (bnc #716992)
Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de add section about cross platform build, expand the introductory section of chapter 4
Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.98.6 released
Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - libcrc32 module depends on crc32c, but it does not state this dependency explicitely (modules.dep does not contain this information). Since KIWI relies od modules.dep to clean up unused modules in the initrd, this can break module loading. This patch ensures that the module is kept in the initrd and not purged.
Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - revert back to parted hex id\'s, this reverts commits: 47f8bf758861a3d8cdbc2c188024f423e6ee45db 47f8bf758861a3d8cdbc2c188024f423e6ee45db

Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - call createURLList() only on demand. Also provide accessor methods for xml->{urllist} and xml->{urlhash}, don\'t access these object data directly anymore. createURLList() was called in the KIWIXML constructor but changes to the XML might happen at a later point in time. So it makes sense to build the final URL list when access to it is requested
Tue Oct 25 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - call setupNetworkStatic in suse-preinit for s390. With this change we write the network configuration as received by the initrd into the system config files below /etc/sysconfig
Tue Oct 25 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added function convertCIDRToNetmask() which allows the interpretation of the CIDR extension like 192.168.1.1/24 to create a standard netmask 255.255.255.0 out of it.
Tue Oct 25 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value $free in KIWIXML.pm

Wed Oct 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - check for FSTYPE == btrfs in createOriginSnapshot()
Wed Oct 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of btrfs origin snapshot. This is now done on first boot of the appliance and not after kiwi prepare
Wed Oct 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added baseSetupBtrfsOrigin() function which allows to add an origin snapshot for the image root filesystem contents
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - moved README to mkd style
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - adapt README style

Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.98.3 released
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update German translation .po file
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure locale .mo files are created
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update locale headers
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for setting up which volume should get the rest free space assigned in a LVM setup. Example:
This will assign the rest space available in the volume group to the LVvar logical volume. rest space means either the size of the \'oem-systemsize\' element or if not set the entire rest space of the disk. If no \'all\' freespace attribute is set in the volume setup, the default volume LVRoot is used as before (bnc #724489)

There is still a problem in install mode where we need a list of all potential installation devices to be present at a certain point in time. The function waitForIdleEventQueue tries to address this but it\'s not race free
Sat Oct 15 14:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.de revamp the EC2 chapter, include instructions for using EBS, restructure organization

Tue Oct 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed the check for the installed system in the netboot code if the luks encryption is used. The check calls luksOpen with luks_open_can_fail=yes. This means if the wrong passphrase is given the check will proceed with \'update is required\' and does not fail with a reboot exception in luksOpen
Tue Oct 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added hooks preswap/postswap which run before the check and creation of the imageSwapDevice. This allows to setup your own swap device handling.

Sat Aug 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added a new attribute to the element called \'imageinclude\', a boolean. The code treats the attribute as having a \"false\" default value. When set to true (for using zypper package manager only at this point) the specified repository is added to the image being created, thus the repo is available to install additional packages or upgrade existing packages from within the running image.
Sat Aug 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup XML data from example image descriptions by the result of the kiwi XML pretty printer

Tue Aug 23 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added parted 1.8.7 to RHEL5.4 repo
Tue Aug 23 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed boot code: explicitly wait until the background job showing the progress information has finished
Tue Aug 23 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - let atftpProgress() read output directly so there is just one job - fixed fetchFile(): enable progress only for block devices, without this it showed the progress for md5 and other files when the first image download failed. - fixed fetchFile(): fbiterm does not work with serial console, added fallback when it fails - fixed fetchFile(): loadCode value from the background job is returned correctly now
Tue Aug 23 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - changed the image size calculation to leave not too much of free space. In case of a filesystem based image as less free space as possible is added. In case of a disk image we make sure to have ~100MB of free space. If a single boot partition is required we make sure to have min 150M to allow proper kernel updates
Tue Aug 23 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure atftpProgress() finishes _after_ the atftp process has concluded the download, related to (bnc #713167)
Tue Aug 23 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - use $imageBlkSize as parameter for atftpProgress() - take care for handling of re-sent blocks in atftpProgress() - fixed atftp error output handling $TRANSFER_ERRORS_FILE vs. /tmp/atftp_trace - fixed atftp blocksize detection - with multicast the block number 1 does not have to be at the beginning

Tue Aug 23 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added atftpProgress() function which implements the progress information for atftp by watching the atftp trace output. atftp seeks in the output stream which forbids the use of pipes for the progress information (bnc #713167)
Mon Aug 22 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure fribidi stays installed in netboot. It\'s required for the fbiterm based progress information (bnc #713173)
Mon Aug 22 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use pipes in combination with atftp (bnc #713167)

Fri Aug 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.94.3 released
Fri Aug 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t remove netcfg from boot images. This would remove the etc/hosts file which might be required. Along with this change also fixed the cleanupResolvConf() function which has to reset the needResolvConf and needHosts flags in order to prevent a deletion at a later point in time (bnc #713158)
Fri Aug 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t call restoreCDRootData() and restoreSplitExtend() inside the global destructor of the KIWIImageCreator. If the functions are applied to the creation of a boot image it leads to errors because they are designed to operate on the system image root tree
Fri Aug 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed broken state setup in KIWILog which was used to detect whether we need a CR when printing the line or not. All that sucked and caused mystery empty lines in the log
Fri Aug 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure loop maps are closed before installing grub. Also changed the way grub is called. We are creating a file with the commands first and then call grub ... --batch < file. It makes the code more readable and also allows to include the commands as part of the log file
Thu Aug 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed zero timeout value handling in syslinux. A value of zero disables the timeout so we set the smallest possible value in that case which is 1/10sec
Thu Aug 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - increased amount of spare space 1.1 -> 1.5
Thu Aug 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evaluation of which output

Normally the pxe boot on x86 expects a DHCP server to provide all the required network services but on s390 pxe boot works together with a parm file containing that information which is evaluated by the new functions.
Fri Jun 24 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evaluation of buildtype in createImage(). There were some places which did not reference the build type as it is stored in the XML object.

Wed Jun 8 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - remove the call to sax2 in the 11.3 vm guest example, sax2 is no longer part of 11.3 and later as the X-server is self configuring. Also added code to allow the firstboot sequence to be initiated. While this particular example does not use the firstboot mechanism, someone basing their build of the example and trying to get firstboot to work would be hard pressed to find why it is not working.
Tue Jun 7 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - changed kiwi version number from a two part version into a three part version number: v4.91.1. The major and minor part of the version will not change with bugfix releases.

Mon Jun 6 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use a fixed value for the size of the boot partition. The size among others depends on how many kernels were installed. Thus a fixed value is always wrong. The new function __getBootSize() is used to check the actual size of the boot/ * area and this value is used to create the boot partition if required. In case of an oem image the re-creation of the boot partition happens based on the original boot partition size (bnc #698233)
Mon Jun 6 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - drop RPMQ dependency, package does not exist, but module is provdided already by inst-source-utils.

Wed Jun 1 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - moved requirement back to genisoimage, after checking the code
Wed Jun 1 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed build: unit testing requires iso and filesystem tools to be present in the buildsystem - fixed spec file: genisoimage is set as required but kiwi uses growisofs in the code which is provided by dvd+rw-tools
Wed Jun 1 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed unit testing ktLog.pm, some functions from the real KIWILog module were missing in ktLog.pm

* don\'t use unversioned obsoletes
* provide man pages with the master kiwi package
* make the master kiwi package noarch if possible
* require kiwi-tools version from the same master
Fri May 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed stylesheet bugs: Thanks to Tom for looking at it
* A xsl:call-template cannot contain a mode attribute. Only xsl:apply-templates can have it. The affected files are convert39to41.xsl and convert41to42.xsl
* A is incorrect in two ways: First a xsl:copy needs to have something to copy in its _content_, second the select attribute is syntactically wrong; AATT means attribute, but which one? I guess, it should mean *\"/>. However, in this case it\'s totally useless as it copies *all * attributes, regardless of the for-each loop. So the for-each loop can never act as it was supposed to be.
Fri May 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - get unit test working again, due to restructuring changes - provide config and target location as arguments to prepareBootImage() and createBootImage(). Retrieving those from the CommandLine object is not following our functional separation model as the config dir and target dir for the initrd cannot be given on the command line and therefore should not be stored on the command line argument - refactor setting of XML parameters into methods for re-use
Thu May 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - run unit tests during package build if SUSE > 1130
Thu May 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - limit the validation of config.xml files in the Kiwi tree to files located outside the tests tree. config.xml files in the tests tree are not necessarily expected to be valid as we also need to do negative unit testing.
Thu May 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed version update script
Thu May 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup situation around global variables. There is now a KIWIGlobals object which contains all global variables and functions. There are still some global variables in use which references options. Those should be handled by a KIWICommandline accessor
Wed May 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed unit test kiwiImageCreator.pm - fixed *.kiwi search in getControlFile
Wed May 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - moved the image create step into the KIWIImageCreator code There is now a function createImage / createBootImage which is also used by the build step. Along with this change I removed all occurences of the main::Survive variable and thus removed all recursive kiwi calls now from the code.
Wed May 18 14:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de - do not enforce the need of a meta package, driver update disk is not needing one (on command from cwh)
Tue May 17 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup fix; don\'t create instances of KIWICommandLine if it\'s not necessary. Also removed redundant code in prepareBootImage
Tue May 17 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make the user password optional; It is valid to have a user on a system that cannot login via password authentication. Therefore kiwi should not force a password assignment in the element

Tue May 17 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed global variables CacheRoot and CacheRootMode and cleaned up the KIWICache code. Also added a new runtime check: __checkRootRecycleCapability which makes sure that a cache based root tree cannot be used in --recycle-root mode
Tue May 17 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - last fix using --numeric-owner was still broken. Robert has added a better and more robust patch to fix this
Tue May 17 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - use --numeric-owner option in tar to prevent the table layout to break if the user/group field in the tar -t output exceeds the field length
Tue May 17 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t strip vgrename command from initrd
Mon May 16 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - moved the following operation modes into the KIWIImageCreator: also fixed the unit tests and get rid of some recursive calls
* --setup-splash => createSplash()
* --bootusb => createImageBootUSB()
* --bootcd => createImageBootCD()
* --installcd => createImageInstallCD()
* --installstick => createImageInstallStick()
* --bootvm => createImageDisk()
* --convert => createImageFormat()
Mon May 16 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure XML validation happens in each processing mode - fixed environment cleanup, added cleanup function in main
Mon May 16 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed logging. Added function resetRootChannel which allows to split up the log at a certain point. This is used when one --init-cache call creates multiple caches and each one has a dedicated log file
Mon May 16 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - moved the upgrade code into the KIWIImageCreator object also removed the recursive upgrade call inside the create step and call the new function upgradeImage() instead
Fri May 13 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed fixupOverlayFilesOwnership(), remove leading spaces from file names
Fri May 13 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added unit tests for testing the KIWIImageCreator code
Fri May 13 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added new KIWICache object and move out the cache code from the main kiwi.pl file into the new object code
Thu May 12 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added new KIWIImageCreator object which will encapsulate the major kiwi processing modes like prepare, create, upgrade and others into module functions. So far the prepare step has been moved out and others will follow. The goal is to get rid of the global variable stack in kiwi as well as to remove the recursive kiwi calls
Thu May 12 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - unit test fixes:
* move test repo to sharable location, adjust XMLInfo test
* fixed removal of test directory, remove only if no mounts exists
* fixed test directory cleanup, remove only if no mount exists
* fixed broken unit test due to commit: c9c797b47cb4

Tue May 10 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - enhanced the ddn() function to work correctly if a udev /dev/disk/ device name is specified as disk parameter (bnc #692629)
Mon May 9 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - integrate end-to-end testsuite written by Bernhard Wiedemann into kiwi. There is a kiwi --test-image ... mode now, and I added an example test to the 11.4 JeOS description. It\'s required to have the os-autoinst package installed in order to run a test (bnc #677789)
Fri May 6 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.88 released
Fri May 6 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed build for ia64 architecture

Mon May 2 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed pxeNotifyNewImage function. This is done inside the slepos specific code hooked in (bnc #691249)
Mon May 2 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure bootincluded_archives.filelist contains only files
Mon May 2 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - move the createTmpDirectory code from the XML object to the Locator. Creating a directory really has nothing to do with XML processing, the Locator now handles local file system interaction, thus this is a better place.
Mon May 2 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed reboot call in kernelCheck function (bnc #689294)
Mon May 2 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed type selection if not type was specified and no primary attribute is set to any type. In that case the first type written in the XML description should be used (bnc #690554)

Thu Apr 21 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - changed searchBusIDBootDevice() for the s390 architecture. All required information is now obtained from /sys/firmware/ipl According to this no additional kernel parameters are required to set the boot device online (bnc #689004)
Thu Apr 21 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added alternative location for kiwi hooks scripts which is FHS compliant: /lib/kiwi/hooks/ (bnc #688792)
Wed Apr 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added URL mapping table for the opensuse:// url type. When resolving this the regular expression based mapping table is used to create a valid location from the specified URI data. It\'s possible to extend the existing KIWIURL.txt table according to the needs of the user or service.
Wed Apr 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - changed xsl 51 to 52 conversion. The obsolete usb image type is removed from the XML input. this image type can be either replaced by an iso hybrid type or by an oem type. As there is a choice for the user the stylesheet will not make a decision here.
Wed Apr 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: added preLoadConfiguration hook: preLoadConfiguration: is called before the client. is loaded by kiwi and thus can be used to inject alternative code for loading the client configuration. - netboot: added postLoadConfiguration hook: postLoadConfiguration: is called after the client configuration has been loaded and imported and can be used for any action after the client configuration has exported its variables into the boot environment - netboot: renamed the default register file which is put on the pxe boot server if there is client configuration found. kiwi now put a file called: upload/client.$DHCPCHADDR which doesn\'t conflict with the files SLEPOS uses for registration - netboot: removed SLEPOS related code, posbios calls and the evaluation of the WORKSTATION_LDAP_IP variable. All this will be part of product specific hook scripts
Wed Apr 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - allow parameters to be passed to hook scripts
Tue Apr 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added setupBootLoaderTheme() function which is called after the bootloader configuration has been written. The function adapts/sets the THEME variable in the /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash file according to the boot theme set in the kiwi XML configuration
Mon Apr 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suseStripFirmware to match in subdirectories below /lib/firmware/ too. firmware installed by the kernel packages for example were removed
Fri Apr 15 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.86 released
Thu Apr 14 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed boot partition id in suse-repart if syslinux is used as bootloader. We are using fat32 now (c)
Thu Apr 14 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - using sfdisk --id now, thus require sfdisk in spec file
Thu Apr 14 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getStorageID function and the evaluation of the return value of this function. The assumption that the partition id is a decimal value is wrong, thus calling int() on the result is not a good idea. man I really shouldn\'t code at midnight
Thu Apr 14 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupSUSEInitrd function. We create imho poinless links named linux.vmx and initrd.vmx which are not used at all if the initrd could be generated by mkinitrd. Additionally the links are broken if the running kernel is not the same as the installed kernel. Therefore I removed the creation of that link files - fixed kernelList function. the code searching for installed kernels if the running kernel can\'t be found was never reached. Additionally the function did not search for other than the running kernel which seems to be wrong if multiple kernels are installed
Thu Apr 14 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update config.sh scripts for the ec2 examples to ensure the ssh policy and inittab console settings are correct
Thu Apr 14 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added new consistency check to enforce that ec2 formatted images are created as file system types. This required an update to a number of other config files used for Validator unit testing. Added new unit tests for the EC2 requirement.
Wed Apr 13 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed parted type setup, use the form \'set [nr] type 0x[id]\' this is used to workaround a parted bug happening if you type \'set [nr] swap on\'. parted refuses to set this even though the help page in batch mode tells the user to do it exactly that way
Wed Apr 13 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed fat 8+3 kernel/initrd renaming code. This is no longer required when using a fat32 / vfat partition / filesystem - fixed kernelCheck() function: rewrote the code
Wed Apr 13 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed fstab setup in ec2 format setup (bnc #687211)
Mon Apr 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed the --lvm option. The option now adds a systemdisk element and behaves the same as if the users would have modified the XML accordingly
Mon Apr 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure installBootLoader() is called for vmxboot image if a root overlay filesystem structure is used - move resetBootBind() into installBootLoader()

Fri Apr 8 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.85 released
Fri Apr 8 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - in KIWIRoot.pm the fixupOverlayFilesOwnership() function fails to quote the filaname which results in problems with files/directories with spaces in their names.
Thu Apr 7 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - Added a new consistency check and unit tests to ensure that config.xml files specifying an image type that requires an initrd set the boot attribute on the element.

Tue Apr 5 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - if the target-device option is used kiwi normally doesn\'t create a disk image file until the image file is created by a dump off from the target device. SuSE studio requires the size information of the target disk before the dump off happens, because it creates that target device internally. Therefore this patch makes sure that a image disk file is created before the dump off happens
Tue Apr 5 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - moved from fat16 (0x6) to fat32 (0xc) for syslinux setup
Tue Apr 5 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed kiwiCommandLine unit test according to the changes done in commit: 7954bf3bed5845f4ece4991ef17f8f2978c8fbee
Mon Apr 4 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - created a repo to support new tests for size query and package install query. Additionally the common test case base class gets new methods to create a writable directory and to clean it up after the test
Mon Apr 4 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed KIWICommandLine::setLogFile, it breaks for \'terminal\' logging - fixed KIWICommandLine::setAdditionalRepos, it breaks if numAlias and or numPrios is zero

Fri Apr 1 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.84 released
Fri Apr 1 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added normalizeBootPath() function which allows to use the following boot attribute source locator prefixes:
* this:// => pointing to the image description directory
* system:// => pointing to /usr/share/kiwi/image
* dir:// => pointing to a directory if no source locator is set kiwi uses the path if it is an absolute path and in case of a relative path it checks if the path relative to the called directory exists and if not it also checks if the path exists below /usr/share/kiwi/image
Thu Mar 31 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed LVM repartition code. if no recovery partition is requested just us the default end sector suggested by the partition tool
Wed Mar 30 14:00:00 2011 rootAATTsuse.de - fixed zipl setup if used with LVM images
Wed Mar 30 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - suse 11.4 doesn\'t provide the by-id disk paths anymore. Because of that change kiwi switches to the by-path method with this commit

Mon Mar 28 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added fixupOverlayFilesOwnership() function which handles all files from the overlay root tree and the image archives. The function changes the ownership of all that files to root:root if they don\'t belong to a user in the passwd file. files which belongs to passwd users are not touched and therefore must be added with the correct owner:group setup in the overlay tree and/or archive
Mon Mar 28 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed perl warning (uninitialized variable) and a checker error when building an ISO image without setting the \'flags\' attribute.
Fri Mar 25 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.83 released
Fri Mar 25 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - option -s for qemu-img convert hast changed its meaning
Thu Mar 24 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed pxeRaidCreate() function. Use --run option when creating the array and write a more reliable mdadm.conf file (bnc #678076)

Mon Mar 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the repository attribute \'prefered-license\' The repository providing this flag will be used to install the license tarball due to request in bnc #633664. If no repo with a prefered license flag exists the search happens over all repos but it\'s not guaranteed in that case that the search order follows the repo order like they are written into the XML description (bnc #680886)
Mon Mar 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation and examples, new element oem-silent-boot
Mon Mar 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the configuration of a silent OEM boot mode Normally the oem boot process switches the splash screen off. With true as part of the oemconfig section, the splash stays on top

Fri Mar 18 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.82 released
Fri Mar 18 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - move the knowledge about the default package manager from the KIWIManager object into the XML object. This is a configuration value and thus the default should be in the part of the code that processes the configuration
Fri Mar 18 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added a new target to the Makefile to allow the execution of a single unit test, i.e. support \'make KIWIXMLValidator.t\' This is useful when working on unit tests as it allows to execute only the test being worked on.
Thu Mar 17 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file. perl-satsolver from the 11.4 distro doesn\'t contain the code changes Klaus made during the Studio workshop Therefore kiwi provides the required version now in the Virtualization:Appliances repo for 11.4 (bnc #680549)
Thu Mar 17 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed 11.3 and 11.4 JeOS templates. openssl-certs doesn\'t exist there anymore. I replaced it by ca-certificates
Thu Mar 17 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - increased size of boot partition from 60M to 100M. If mkinitrd is called it might happen that /boot runs out of space
Wed Mar 16 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - The ISO generation code allows for either genisoimage or mkisofs. The checker does not support this. The patch addresses this problem and the checker no will be happy if either genisoimage or mkisofs is found (bnc #680148)
Wed Mar 16 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typos in ppc boot scripts (spaces at end of line, tab mismatches) and adapt latest noarch code changes from x86 boot scripts to ppc - removed 01-console.sh from ppc JeOS template. That\'s done by the setupConsole() function in suse-preinit
Wed Mar 16 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fix the VMware image example. The example does not contain necessary packages for a graphical user interface, thus setting window manager and runlevel in config.sh to imply that a GUI environment is present is misleading
Tue Mar 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed device map cleanup. The cleanup happened to early because the installBootLoader() code accesses the device map under certain circumstances but the original device was already freed. In that case the installBootLoader() code re-adds the mapping but that could lead to a different device name compared to the one stored in the device mapping table
Tue Mar 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - prevent the use of File::Path qw(make_path remove_tree) because it\'s not compatible to File::Path qw(mkpath rmtree) in older perl versions
Tue Mar 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed race condition in CD device search, missing udevPending - fixed wrong mountCalled variable setup, the return code of the mount call was not checked. So even if the mount failed the variable was set to \'yes\' which leads to an umount of the root filesystem before the root filesystem was activated
Tue Mar 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed local sle11 repo assigned to 11.4 net|oemboot boot image description. This was to pull in busybox but I don\'t want sle busybox in 11.4 to avoid compatibility problems (bnc #679659)
Tue Mar 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed busybox from boot image descriptions for 11.4. It\'s not distributed with the 11.4 media anymore (bnc #679660)
Tue Mar 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added new consistency check to assure that all credentials used with any specified \"https\" repository are the same. Further the consistency check verifies that the username and password attributes are always used together.
Tue Mar 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for https repositories for zypper with username and password. Here is an example specification:
kiwi now writes a credentials file and takes advantage of the zypper support for this file. This patch also addresses the problem that in the current implementation we end up using the build system zypper configuration file \"zypper.conf\" as zypper is called without the \"--config\" option.
Tue Mar 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation, https support added for zypper
Mon Mar 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed the udev trigger call which must only be called one time after the udev daemon has started (bnc #668014)
Mon Mar 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setup of the loader initrd variable. Normally this variable is set via the kernel commandline but in case of a PXE setup it might be missing. In that case we check if the bootloader is present as .profile variable in kiwi_bootloader and set loader appropriately
Mon Mar 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed OEM PXE installation code. Wrong function name, checkServer was renamed into pxeCheckServer and the image file in case of a pxe installation is gzip compressed not squashfs embedded
Mon Mar 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file, kiwi-desc-usbboot was dropped
Mon Mar 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added netboot root configuration check. The NFSROOT setup in combination with clicfs is not allowed. It doesn\'t make sense because it requires the clicfs process to run on the NFS server which would allow to connect only one station safely. AOEROOT or NBDROOT should be used in combination with clicfs instead
Mon Mar 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added kernel-firmware package to boot images
Mon Mar 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation, added a section about OEM -> pxe install
Fri Mar 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.81 released
Fri Mar 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added function resetBootBind() which turns the bind mounted boot path into a standard distro path which allows kernel updates. resetBootBind() is only called if mkinitrd can be used according to the image root filesystem setup. Along with the resetBootBind change we also had to fix the setup of the fat boot partition if the syslinux bootloader is used. Normally there is a link named boot -> . but on fat we can\'t have links so the data has to be moved. (bnc #678159)
Fri Mar 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - adapt recent changes to x86 linuxrc to the s390 code stream
Fri Mar 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in motd message of 11.4 JeOS
Fri Mar 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation for ramonly attribute
Thu Mar 10 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed syslinux boot partition setup, links on fat does not exist
Thu Mar 10 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added optional type attribute ramonly=\"true\" which forces the COW device in a overlay filesystem setup to point to the main RAM memory
Thu Mar 10 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evaluation of $main::FatStorage. I put it too late in the code so that the overall disk size wasn\'t adjusted
Thu Mar 10 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed usbboot boot image and usb image type from kiwi. The obsolete usb image type has been replaced by the hybrid iso image type or by the oem image type.
Thu Mar 10 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation and removed the suse-live-stick examples. - DB: suse-live-stick are now handled by the hybrid iso examples
Thu Mar 10 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added more careful grub install check
Wed Mar 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - When mounting the hybrid boot drive, select the partition marked as bootable instead of blindly mounting the first one. This change makes it possible to update the system if the image has been written to a writable medium.
Wed Mar 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation, man page update (new options)
Wed Mar 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed syslinux boot device setup if LVM is used
Wed Mar 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make the creation of USB sticks more Windows friendly. For a detailed description how this is done watch the bug report: (bnc #677246)
Tue Mar 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file for s390 build
Tue Mar 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file for ppc build

Fri Mar 4 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the ncpus attribute on the element. It is used to set the number of virtual cpus for a VM and written to .vmx and .xenconfig
Thu Mar 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed xsl stylesheet convert47to48.xsl. existing lvmvolumes section wasn\'t translated into systemdisk section
Thu Mar 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added KIWICommandLine and KIWIRuntimeChecker modules. The command line module is a storage container for the commandline options passed to kiwi. It\'s used to transport the data into other objects. One successor of KIWICommandLine is the KIWIRuntimeChecker module which does some checks while kiwi runs. This means kiwi reads in the image description and after that the runtimer checker checks if it is possible to build the desired image according to the specified information. If that tests are passed kiwi enters the actual processing mode which is either the image prepare or create. This is useful to exit early if some option combination or data set is valid according to the XML schema but can\'t be build due to other reasons.
Thu Mar 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the new EC2 Japan region
Thu Mar 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - assure that the given memory size given for a Vm is an integer

Wed Mar 2 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed smart packages - export PBL_SKIP_BOOT_TEST=1 to allow mkinitrd to install - changed SLE10 JeOS example:
* all packages in bootstrap to allow the use of zypper
* remove installiso option which doesn\'t work because no squashfs - added an updated version of parted for SLE10 - added a zypper version check for the kiwi upgrade mode - changed all SLE10 boot image descriptions to put packages into the bootstrap section to allow the use of zypper - adapt README of SLE10 JeOS, smart is not required - adapt kiwi.spec to recommend zypper only
Wed Mar 2 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.80 released

Fri Feb 25 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.79 released
Fri Feb 25 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - The default tftp block size chosen by kiwi is too small and not aligned to page size (4096), so it causes unnecessary overhead. This patch improves loading performance a lot
Thu Feb 24 13:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de - just compare the major version of squashfs kernel module and squashfs tools (bnc #674653)
Thu Feb 24 13:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de - parse all available product file not just the first one

Thu Feb 24 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added unit testing for the KIWILocator object
Thu Feb 24 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added ensconce parameter -i imagename which contains the contents of the name attribute. ensconce requires this to distinguish between system image and initrd image
Wed Feb 23 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - Using here documents with tabs in front of the limit string works but is not recommended. Tabs are ignored when searching for the limit string but spaces are not, in which case the here document ends at the next occurence of the limit string or at the end of the file with some shells not even issuing a warning
Wed Feb 23 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value if an improper configuration directory is specified
Tue Feb 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - move warning messages about shm and semaphores into logfile

Fri Feb 18 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - changed raid 1 support for pxe images. The former implementation can only use raid for the root partition. This implementation allows a custom partition table to be mapped in one raid 1 per partition
Wed Feb 16 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed linuxPartition() to be fine with a raid partition too
Wed Feb 16 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed raid partition setup. The wrong id was set. If there is only one raid partition on the disk fdisk doesn\'t require a number for the \'t\' command
Wed Feb 16 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation
Tue Feb 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - restore copy of temporary files only if they are not provided by the overlay tree. This affects /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf
Tue Feb 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed createSnapshotMap() to be able to setup snapshot tables multiple times in a row. this requires unique table names

Tue Feb 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed testsuite from kiwi. The current --testsuite mode has been removed because it has turned out that\'s it\'s unused code. With this testsuite it was possible to run scripts inside the kiwi created root tree and check their results. Basically this is only useful for testing the root tree integrity which can always be done outside of kiwi like studio and slepos does. Along with the change we will add unit tests for testing the XML error handling and I plan to integrate an end-to-end testng framework which allows to realy make sure the appliance works as expected
Mon Feb 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed location of radeon.ko (typo: missing drivers/)
Mon Feb 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added graphics cards direkt rendering modules for i915, nouveau and radeon for openSUSE 11.4

Tue Feb 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed netboot disk device check. In case of a ramdisk only configuration there is no DISK set but the image download should happen into the ramdisk device. Therefore the disk device check was enhanced to check the ramdisk setup too
Tue Feb 8 13:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de - fix arch= statement for real for multi arch medias, use only the subset of global required archs and filtered one by arch= statement
Tue Feb 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - moved caching system over from clicfs to a device mapper snapshot table. This seems to be more stable and leaves more room for improvements
Mon Feb 7 13:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de - Revert wrong commit overriding package attributes on multi arch medias This reverts commit 1ef1a8b62df61899480285051c9b725990685113.
Mon Feb 7 13:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de - avoid error message about undefined $manager variable when building a product
Mon Feb 7 13:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de ignore missing debug packages, they may not get generated (esp on noarch packages).

Mon Feb 7 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the child element for . With this a user can specify one or multiple target regions for the EC2 image. Specifying multiple elements creates multiple AMIs. The main convenience is that one does not have to look for the aki-... cryptic name for the PVGrub boot kernel as the value gets embedded in the generated manifest. Supported values are: AP-Singapore, EU-West, US-East, US-West
Mon Feb 7 13:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de support blacklisting of packages via onlyarch=\"\"

Wed Jan 26 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added partition ID information into progress information when installing the system in partition install mode
Wed Jan 26 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed lvresize calls in kiwi which are all missing the \'+\' prefix - fixed createSnapshotMap() to know about LVM volumes - fixed partition based installation with LVM image. The dialog for boot and root partition selection was broken and there is also a small fix improving the progress information when installing the image partitions to the disk partitions
Tue Jan 25 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - reverted the following commits: eeecf05d029e7e75abfc44a5c2c600263838c50e 438e83976cbd12dde20511ea5d000620082fa066 They broke the yast autoyast and firstboot setup. The provided config-yast-autoyast.xml or config-yast-firstboot.xml were not handled anymore
Mon Jan 24 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed fdisk support entirely except for changing the partition table created by the isohybrid tool. parted can\'t handle that table and therefore we use fdisk inside the function createHybridPersistent() but nowhere else anymore
Mon Jan 24 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update schema and kiwi documentation
Mon Jan 24 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed mdadm --stop call for pxe raid(1) boot

Fri Jan 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.71 released
Fri Jan 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed partition selection in OEMFindPartitions(). Don\'t take any other than 0x83 partition types into account
Fri Jan 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - change the layout of the install ISO / USB stick. The raw disk image on the install media was compressed using gzip. The downside is that it\'s not possible to loop mount the compressed file. But for partition based installations this is required. Therefore the raw disk image is now packed into a squashfs filesystem (bnc #665888)
Fri Jan 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typos in kiwi_oemunattended and kiwi_oemswap evaluation which caused wrong content in the oemconfig file
Thu Jan 20 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for gparted in partition based oem installation If the partition table does not provide the correct layout we start a X session with some descriptive message window and the gparted tool to be able to change the partition table Author: Bernhard M. Wiedemann
Thu Jan 20 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de fix approx 109 typos
Thu Jan 20 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added check for $imageDiskDevice and the existence of $imageBootDevice to the setupBootPartition() function in order to prevent unused mount actions for /boot Author: Bernhard M. Wiedemann

Mon Jan 17 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - create private __expandFS() function and eliminate some code duplication by this new function
Mon Jan 17 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added check for the PatternType attribute which may only be used for image and bootstrap packages. Check that this is set appropriately.
Sat Jan 15 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in use of oem-shutdown element
Fri Jan 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evalutation of patternType attribute
Thu Jan 13 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure fixupFDiskSectors() only fixes the first partition start sector and doesn\'t touch the others (bnc #664236)
Thu Jan 13 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure fixupFDiskSectors() is called on a non busy table (bnc #664236)
Thu Jan 13 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed fdisk setup in alignment mode. fdisk is not able to suggest the correct next sector if called with the option \"-u\". Therefore only one partition is created in that mode and the rest is created in fdisk cylinder based mode (bnc #664236)
Thu Jan 13 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added new module KIWILocator which perform operations to locate objects needed by Kiwi in the filesystem. Along with the new module other code parts which did that before has been replaced
Thu Jan 13 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for satsolver bindings provided with the perl-satsolver package
Mon Jan 10 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed syslinux/isolinux configuration for disk based images. Several problems like missing branding files, write checks in not existing directories and file checks in wrong directories were found

Wed Jan 5 13:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de Make SUSE meta data compression rsyncable (partly transferable).
Wed Jan 5 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupKernelModules() in a way that it doesn\'t overwrite settings from /etc/sysconfig/kernel but append to them
Tue Jan 4 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - revert last commit, broken patch
Tue Jan 4 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fix sed expression which removes the architecture suffix from the image name. The expression failed if the architecture is also part of the name so it changed to match the suffix at the end of the name string only
Tue Jan 4 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t call setupConsole twice if systemIntegrity is fine in kiwi netboot code. Also make sure unsetFile(), called on the dhcp info file, is called before the interface is released
Tue Jan 4 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed releaseNetwork() to cleanup /dev/.sysconfig as well as unset the variables from the dhcp info file which has been exported into the root shell environment. Those variables caused conflicts with the network scripts in /etc/init.d
Tue Jan 4 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed obsolete config file from suse-11.3/suse-live-stick
Mon Jan 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup netboot code. moved some functions into the KIWILinuxRC.sh pool and fixed bootloader setup when using clicfs images
Mon Jan 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed old and unmaintained ppc code
Wed Dec 22 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added check for first sector start after repartitioning via fdisk. The start sector must be the same before and after the repartitioning (bnc #659865)
Tue Dec 21 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make sure bootincluded packages and archives are not removed by the initrd strip down functions. This is done by introdudcing two new functions in KIWIConfig.sh:
* basePackBootIncludes
* baseUnpackBootIncludes whereas the first one packs the bootinclude files and the second one unpacks them again. The standard boot image descriptions provided by kiwi uses that functions to make sure all bootincluded files can be restored at the end of the strip down functions called in image.sh (bnc #660743)
Fri Dec 17 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.69 released
Wed Dec 15 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - if ensconce is used the pattern/package list is already solved. In that case it doesn\'t make sense to do solving with satsolver again. We are using the list provided by ensconce as solved list directly in that case.
Wed Dec 15 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed ensconce call and parameters:
* ensconce now resides in /usr/bin, so we can call it that way
* pass -b parameter to ensconce, since bootstrap is obsolete
* pass proper root parameter to ensconce
Wed Dec 15 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed profile request handling when kiwi invokes itself
Wed Dec 15 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed functions ignoreRepositories() and addRepository to correctly update the DOM tree and not only the internal hash structures
Wed Dec 15 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed SLE11 template which did not include gfxboot branding packages if xenFlavour was selected
Mon Dec 13 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed warning message when using int() on empty string

Fri Dec 10 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.68 released
Thu Dec 9 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed location of local modprobe configuration file. The new place is in /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf. Only if this doesn\'t exist we will use /etc/modprobe.conf.local
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make baseSetupInPlaceGITRepository more useful
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed initial value (set it to empty) for INITRD_MODULES
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed obsolete setImageType() function from KIWIXML
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make use of the --check-config modus in kiwi to validate and check the kiwi provided XML configurations within the Makefile.
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suse-SLE11-JeOS to validate correctly. It\'s not allowed to have multiple import=\"true\" attributes set. Therefore the profile setup for this JeOS XML changed
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added Option --check-config which validates the XML using the new KIWIXMLValidator module. Along with the new module validation from KIWIXML has been moved into the KIWIXMLValidator object
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of createImageUSB() which has changed its name into createImageRootAndBoot()
Tue Dec 7 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed boot partition setup for non mkinitrd supported setups
Tue Dec 7 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added updateTypeList() function in KIWIXML which is required if an accessor function changes the XML tree the internal data structures needs to be updated too
Tue Dec 7 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t overwrite the zypp repo data when in recovery mode (bnc #657922)
Mon Dec 6 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed cache creation
Mon Dec 6 13:00:00 2010 adrianAATTsuse.de fix build for factory (openSUSE 11.4)
Mon Dec 6 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added KIWIXML methods __populateProfiles() and __populateTypeInfo which are gathering the profile and type information as they are set by the XML description. Along with this change the following methodes have changed: __populateDefaultProfiles and __populateProfiledTypeInfo. They both read the data structures created by the first two and assign a new data structure according to the selected profiles.
Mon Dec 6 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed unneeded KIWIXML instance from KIWIBoot. The KIWIBoot constructor creates one instance of KIWIXML which is sufficient for all operations
Mon Dec 6 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed parameter list in \'new KIWIXML\' instances
Sat Dec 4 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repository update in __updateDescriptionFromChangeSet()
Fri Dec 3 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.67 released
Fri Dec 3 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make addDefaultSplitNode() a private helper method called __addDefaultSplitNode(). Also fixed that function to work correctly. It should add the default split mode for all relevant types (iso and split) and add the section only if those types doesn\'t already implement a split section
Thu Dec 2 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup KIWIImage and main kiwi code. The global variables ForeignRepo and ImageName has been removed. Additionally the KIWIXML constructor doesn\'t have the ForeignRepo hash in its parameter list. Inside KIWIXML the entire foreign data setup has been changed into methods creating and applying a changeset. Therefore a temporary global hash XMLChangeSet has been introduced. After apply of the changeset it will be removed directly. Along with the cleanup the creation and check for boot and prebuilt images has been moved into functions. The preparation step of kiwi now also writes back the internal XML changes into the XML file. Last but not least the global variable ImageDescription has been introduced which stores in prepare and create mode the path to the base image description which is required to know the location of bootincluded archives and this:// repos
Wed Dec 1 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed xml inheritance. This feature was never used
Tue Nov 30 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - restructured XML data processing by adding the following KIWIXML methods: __populateTypeInfo() and __populateImageTypeAndNode() The first method creates the %typeInfo hash which contains all possible elements according to the selected profiles. The second method operates on the %typeInfo hash and initializes those part of the hash which represents the requested image type or the primary type or the first type read in. Both methodes are called only _once_ inside the object constructor. The existing method getImageTypeAndAttributes() has changed to simply return the selected part of the %typeInfo hash and does _not_ change any object data as done before.
Tue Nov 30 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added check that only one type with image=\"myName\" exists per
Tue Nov 30 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value in KIWIXML processing
Mon Nov 29 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - if logfile option is specified along with --init-cache set the logfile to the \'terminal\' mode. That\'s because in that mode multiple logfiles per cache are created and it wouldn\'t make much sense to have them in one file. If the output is on the terminal the user can decide himself for the redirection
Mon Nov 29 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - require clicfs >= 1.3.9 due to major bugs in former versions
Mon Nov 29 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed __checkReferencedProfDefined to work with sections defining more than one profile like netboot does
Mon Nov 29 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed invalid numeric expression in reqProfiles - added __populateDefaultProfiles according to XML restructuring and removed setDefaultProfiles
Mon Nov 29 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value in KIWIXML.pm
Fri Nov 26 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.66 released
Fri Nov 26 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of undefined value as an ARRAY reference
Fri Nov 26 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed unused cleanInitrd() function
Fri Nov 26 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make sure bootstrap packages are handled when using a cache - fixed time when KIWIImage.pm mounts the overlay and provide a function getImageTree() which returns the currently used root tree. Move the recovery creation, profile update, and cleanup after the KIWIImage module creation
Fri Nov 26 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed overlay setup for KIWIBoot modules. Only if a cow file exists in the given system image path it\'s required to setup the overlay mount
Fri Nov 26 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t create new kiwi object if there is already one available
Thu Nov 25 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - check image type only if a preferences section is present
Thu Nov 25 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed profile check in create mode
Thu Nov 25 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup xenconfig setup by removing conditions that no longer apply due to the removal of the xen image type which is now handled by the vmx/oem type flavoured with xen and xenk profiles
Thu Nov 25 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make sure the package manager is added only once to the list when in --info mode
Thu Nov 25 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed dumpsolv regexp which searches for pattern names
Thu Nov 25 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of boot image caches. It\'s required to prevent the kernel extraction from the cache because this is done in the preparation process which uses the cache - don\'t allow logfile option when in init-cache mode. This is because each cache has its own logfile living in the cache directory
Thu Nov 25 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed minor code duplication inside the RNC schema
Thu Nov 25 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - deactivate compression for clicfs caches (faster) - fixed and cleaned up profile evaluation and use
Thu Nov 25 13:00:00 2010 adrianAATTsuse.de make \"mk_listings\" call during product generation optional
Thu Nov 25 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - explicitly call SuSEconfig --module permissions. This module is no longer called by the default SuSEconfig call so we need to call it directly
Wed Nov 24 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added the following consistency checks:
* only 1 profile may be marked as default via import=\"true\"
* only 1 type per spec may be set as default via primary=\"true\"
* only 1 spec may reference 1
* only 1 specification without a profiles=... attribute
* check that all references used via profiles=\"aName\" attribute have a definition of
Wed Nov 24 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - require specific clicfs version because the version before has severe problems when writing to a cow file
Tue Nov 23 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t preserve rpm database on recovery. This could cause an inconsistent rpm database. Not preserving it could cause an incomplete but consistent database which is better. For reference a copy of the old database is stored in /var/lib/rpm.backup
Mon Nov 22 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - follow up: make sure system filesystems and mount options corresponds with the default settings we use in a standard installation with yast
Mon Nov 22 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed cleanImage() function to cleanly umount partitions before calling init. Also make sure cleanImage reports its actions as part of the boot.kiwi logfile - make sure system filesystems and mount options corresponds with the default settings we use in a standard installation with yast
Mon Nov 22 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in option description
Fri Nov 19 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.65 released
* rebuild documentation
* rebuild schema documentation
Fri Nov 19 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added an oem hook named: preCallInit which runs right before init is called or in case of a reboot/halt request right before that reboot (bnc #654404)
Fri Nov 19 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make sure /dev is bind mounted when installing the very first bootstrap packages.
Thu Nov 18 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation
Wed Nov 17 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - put package manager into solver list when calling kiwi --select ... --info packages - fixed clicfs mount in cache mount code:
* we don\'t want reserved blocks
* we don\'t want automatic filesystem check
* we don\'t want to use --ignore-cow-errors - deactivate automatic cache creation and introduce a new operation mode called kiwi --init-cache. Caches needs to be created in a separate call. This has turned out to be more flexible and prevent customer confusion - add default cache image location: /var/cache/kiwi/image which can be overwritten by the --cache option. If one want to use caches in prepare or create mode it\'s required to select the cache location with this option. - removed baseroot attribute and defaultbaseroot element from XML description. baseroot has been replaced by the clicfs based caching process - don\'t leave .broken inside the tree if it is not broken - cleanup the overlay preparation code. The code is in KIWIOverlay.pm exclusively. At each code point which requires it we create a KIWIOverlay object and let it control the overlay mount
Wed Nov 17 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - DB: add documentation about PXE hardware maps
Wed Nov 17 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation for oem-unattended mode
Wed Nov 17 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - if in oem-unattended mode and we found more than one disk for installation, use the first disk found by hwinfo
Wed Nov 17 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fix bug in the format conversion from raw to qcow2. The \'convert\' command to qemu-mig was missing.
Wed Nov 17 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - move the two consistency checks (kiwirevision and version format) out of the KIWIXML constructor and into their own methods - Implement a new consistency check, __checkFilesysSpec(). This method assures that the \'filesystem\' attribute is used for image types that require the attribute
Tue Nov 16 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation and use of kiwi caches for boot images also make sure the same clicfs cache is mounted only once and is released in case of an exception
Tue Nov 16 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: fixed incorporation of hardware maps - netboot: evaluate additional VENDOR_CONF value
Tue Nov 16 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized variable AATTconfigNodes - fixed solvable setup for susetags
Tue Nov 16 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update RNG schema due to last change to the RNC schema
Tue Nov 16 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added new element text which allows the user to specify raw text that ends up in the .vmx or .xenconfig file. Certain default options currently written by Kiwi may be over written by these settings. Therefore the use of this option happens on your own risk. No validation of the raw text is performed.
Mon Nov 15 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - verify format used for the mac address when specifying the attribute on the vmnic element.
Mon Nov 15 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed logging for listXMLInfo()
Mon Nov 15 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - move the XML validation and loading to it\'s own methods - added image consistency checks into KIWIXML as addition to the XSLT stylesheet processor. The function __validateConsistency provides a place to add consistency checks:
* Added check: __checkPostDumpAction which ensures that only one of oem-bootwait, oem-reboot, oem-reboot-interactive, oem-shutdown or oem-shutdown-interactive is specified.
Mon Nov 15 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added return string to partitionSize() function even in case of error
Mon Nov 15 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added bc tool to netboot image descriptions
Thu Nov 11 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - allow boottimeout setup for image=\"iso\" too
Wed Nov 10 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added xsl stylesheet to convert images which uses the image=\"xen\" type into an appropriate image=\"vmx\" type because the xen image type was removed. Additionally increased schema version to v5.0 with this change
Tue Nov 9 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: added support for hardware maps. Hardware maps are configuration files for a given range of MAC addresses. If a client of the specified range boots up the corresponding hardware map file will be loaded and merged with the default configuration. That way you can specify in one config file configurations dedicated to different machines. Example config. ... HARDWARE_MAP=\"vendor1, vendor2, vendor3\" vendor1_HARDWARE_MAP=\"xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:x1, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:x2\" ... if client xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:x1 boots up the file hardware_config.vendor1 is additionally loaded from the pxe boot server
Mon Nov 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed doit OBS script to work with branch names different from \'kiwi\'
Sun Nov 7 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - more flexible post dump behavior:
* Fix misnomer of oem-dumphalt, now called oem-bootwait xslt included, no change in functionality from oem-dumphalt
* Add oem-reboot-interactive post a message before rebooting the system after image expansion wait for user interaction
* Add oem-shutdown power the system off after dump and image expansion are complete
* Add oem-shutdown-interactive post a message before system power off, wait for user interaction
Sun Nov 7 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - word-smithing for images.sh and config.sh doc
Fri Nov 5 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.64 released - rebuild documentation - rebuild schema documentation

Tue Nov 2 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - keeping old boot files in /boot and trying to copy in newly generated initrd + kernel during image startup could result in not enough space on /boot partition for LVM enabled builds. This patch fixes that by removing the old kernel + initrd, before copying in the new one.
Tue Nov 2 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added languages nb_NO,da_DK,pt_PT and en_GB to the selection list

Wed Oct 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added support for targetdevice option for filesystem images - if the targetdevice option is used check if the device exists before proceeding
Tue Oct 12 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make sure volume is active again if no LVM repartition takes place. This is because recreateVTOCTable has deactivated the volume group before
Tue Oct 12 14:00:00 2010 rootAATTsuse.de - fixed LVM based repartition code for s390 and DASD, it\'s required to recreate the VTOC table here before you can create new partitions

Mon Oct 11 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of satsolver if ensconce is used together with pattern names. ensonce uses an already resolved manifest file and thus it\'s not required to solve the patterns via satsolver (bnc #643442)
Mon Oct 11 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - changed the lvmvolumes section into systemdisk like the following example shows: ...
- update to new schema version 4.8 due to the systemdisk change - if systemdisk is specified a lvm setup is implicitly requested. Therefore also the attribute \'lvm\' from the type section was removed - Also the oem-home element was removed with this change. A volume instead of a single partition should be used. - wrote a xslt stylesheet for the following conversions:
* remove lvm attribute
* move lvmvolumes element into systemdisk
* move lvmgroup attribute into name
* if oem-home is set create a systemdisk setup with a home volume - update documentation due to the systemdisk change

Mon Sep 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added support for partition alignment with fdisk. Thus support for 4k-sector size disks (logical 512 byte) with fdisk was added when using parted the -align option is used in any case though. In order to use the alignment when fdisk is used the oemconfig element oem-align-partition must be set to \'true\' (bnc #637333)
Thu Sep 16 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed umount -a call to prevent a read-only remount (bnc #635159)

Mon Sep 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - According to the documentation [1], parted uses SI prefixes when reporting sizes. Cylinder size is thus reported in 1000 Bytes, not 1024 Bytes. This caused partitions which were created using cylinder offsets to have a wrong size. This patch fixes that by correcting constants in offset calculation. It also removes the magic multiplication constant used when creating LVM volumes.
Fri Sep 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added \'rt\' profile for oemboot pointing to kernel-rt (bnc #638512)
Fri Sep 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - DB: added doc hint about the use of multiple DVD\'s

Thu Sep 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed mount() function to work with disk files too
Thu Sep 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - if the --targetdevice option is set, create the image file by dumping bytes from the targetdevice. Also make sure the free space of the filesystem on the targetdevice is filled with zero bytes to gain a better compression result of the image file. --targetdevice is currently used for s390 DASD devices
Thu Sep 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suseSetupProduct looking for a SUSE_ prefix too (bnc #637996)
Thu Sep 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de -DB: pxe: fixed some spelling and gramatical errors -DB: Enabled mini tocs for chapters and appendices -DB: Chapter and appendix titles are in the format \"Number Title\" now -DB: Removed \"Appendix\" from kiwi-doc-appendix.xml -DB: Added more comments in fo/docbook.xsl

This system should can be used to setup the hvc console for kvm as well as the network setup on a s390 guest system
Tue Sep 7 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - moved documentation from LaTeX to DocBook, PDF and HTML provided
Tue Sep 7 14:00:00 2010 rootAATTsuse.de - fixed s390 support for DASD devices. The main problem here is the detection of the disk. kiwi stores the busid value from the disk it used to create the image on in the kernel cmdline. We also had to add a function which set this disk online before we can access it via the device node
Tue Sep 7 14:00:00 2010 rootAATTsuse.de - added hint about hvc console usage in README of s390 JeOS template
Tue Sep 7 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed fdasd input to use partition id=1 if LVM=8e was requested

Wed Sep 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - better Makefile for docbook book creation. Added pictures which are currently embedded as PNG\'s. This needs to be improved though
Wed Sep 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - started conversion of the documentation from LaTeX to DocBook. This first version is still missing a few things, therefore the LaTeX source is still in place and preferred
Tue Aug 31 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make sure the lvm attribute is part of the .profile environment of the kiwi boot images. The value is exported as $kiwi_lvm. The searchVolumeGroup() function only operates if kiwi_lvm is set to true - moved the message text \'Searching for $VGROUP volume group\' into the searchVolumeGroup() function and remove it from all boot image linuxrc\'s
Tue Aug 31 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - LVM: added 1% spare space for each volume to store the metadata
Mon Aug 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - prevent dd output on stderr when checking the boot sector

Mon Aug 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation
Mon Aug 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - copy license files into the system if found on one of the specified repos. The first repo which provides a license.tar.gz is the one which is used (bnc #633664)
Mon Aug 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added sync call before umounting the filesystems. Reasons for this workaround is the kernel problem in (bnc #15906)
Fri Aug 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t call the grub binary from the image this could lead to problems when the grub binary is linked against a library which doesn\'t exist on the build machine. Therefore we use the grub binary installed on the build machine (kiwi requires grub for vmx and oem now) and bind mount the grub stage files in boot/grub from the image to the build machine while grub is called
Fri Aug 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.58 released
Fri Aug 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make use of the mkfs.$FS toolset instead of mk2fs with parameters This is more compatible and also prevents us from dealing with the changed meanings of some mk2fs parameters (bnc #635052)
Thu Aug 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed convert39to41.xsl to insert xenconfig and vmwareconfig sections also for iso image type
Thu Aug 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added parted as requirement for kiwi-desc-oem|vmxboot
Wed Aug 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed yum package check. the \'list available\' command is not suitable for already installed packages. Therefore we use \'list all\' which also works for already installed packages

Problem here was that with a loop clicfs is no longer able to read the size of the clicfs file which results in unexpected behavior (bnc #629543) - Related to that fix clicfs based caching now works stable
Wed Aug 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - call dhcpcd with the option --noipv4ll to be able to check the return code of dhcpcd and to prevent the interface from an ip address if there was a DHCP timeout (bnc #634057)
Wed Aug 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added package/group check before yum is called to install packages/groups. This is done because there are yum versions which silently ignore missing items and proceed installing the rest.

Wed Aug 18 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed shell exception handling after the move mount of devices. In that cases the tty devices are in /mnt/dev and therefore any shell exception failed because the setctsid call can\'t find the device. This is now fixed (bnc #608620)
Wed Aug 18 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed netboot building by providing atftp for SLE11 (bnc #632203)

Wed Aug 11 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.56 released
Wed Aug 11 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed permissions and ownership setup of read-write part in split images. The problem here was that the read-write part is created as new directory structure belonging to root. Therefore it\'s required to update permissions and ownership from the original tree afterwards in the same as it\'s done for the read-only and temporary parts
Tue Aug 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make use of the --recursive feature of insserv and remove my own recursice insserv implementation which has to parse the insserv output and therefore always fail if that output changes (bnc #627480)
Tue Aug 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added acpi modules to kiwi\'s oemboot initrd. This is required mostly for fan control on laptops and therefore very important for the preload images running on laptops to prevent overheating of the devices
Tue Aug 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed hybrid persistent feature. The check for the bios protection was broken which caused the creation of the persistent write partition to be skipped. - added support for the kernel option wipecow=1. This option allows to wipe an eventually existing cow file on a hybrid iso image to start from scratch

Fri Aug 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added arch information into caches
Fri Aug 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation, patch by Thomas Schraitle
Fri Aug 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - moved cache creation into functions initializeCache() selectCache() and createCache() - added meta information into root tree if cow cache is used. It\'s required to have the name of the cache clicfs available when running kiwi create on a root tree created with a clicfs based cache
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - improve caching by creating clicfs files from the single caches and mount them with a cow file for further operations.... still experimental
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed xen/ec2 examples to clone services into runlevel 4 which is required by EC2
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - changed ec2 account number back to default
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed boot image checksum creation in Makefile
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - EC2: changed the way how ec2 images are created. We now bundle the ami from a raw disk Xen image using the ec2 kernel. Along with this change the xenboot boot image became obsolete and was removed in a previous commit. Support for Xen is now only availabe via disk image and Xen must support PVgrub in order to boot it
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - EC2: update documentation about EC2 and Xen support
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - EC2: removed support for xenboot boot images, xen/ec2 is disk based now

Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed changelog creation tool. Don\'t include information about branch merges or commits which just copied a changelog entry for a previos commit into the kiwi.changes file.

Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 ugAATTsuse.de - fixed respect write protection for Live medium (SD-card) bnc#623038
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed MBR rewrite call in installBootLoader()
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed check for foreign packages. The problem here was that the correct packages sections were checked for matching the profiles of the boot image but they should be checked against the profiles of the system image.
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t check the return value of the e2fsck call. If the filesystem check was forced for example by a wrong system clock the check runs successfully but the return value is not zero.
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed license display problem when no localized license files exist but a license.txt file does
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - add the vm guest example to openSUSE 11.3
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - create the kiwi.changes file from the git log information
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - add the live stick example to openSUSE 11.3

Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - reverted last change: don\'t call root filesystem check for images (bnc #627021) this causes the fs to remount read-only on newer versions if suse; what a crappy reaction
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repartition code for fdisk (SLE10) (bnc #627807)
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t call root filesystem check for images (bnc #627021)
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - if a fixed xml size was set for a filesystem image we use if even if kiwi\'s calculation says it\'s too small. This allows users to create the image with less or no free space but also could cause the image to fail because of no space left on device. We don\'t use the fixed xml size if it\'s too small for a virtual disk based image though because this could cause the image to be created successfully but then failed on boot which is a bad user experience (bnc #627031)
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.54 released
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evaluation of PARTED_... variables (bnc #627593)

Mon Aug 2 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - again fixed the check for specific parted versions. I now changed it to directly check for the available options in parted instead of the parted version number
Mon Aug 2 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - when creating a new cpio image make sure an eventually existing old version of .splash.gz will be removed
Fri Jul 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - put patterns into image package section instead of bootstrap I discovered strange errors with older zypper versions when building newer images
Fri Jul 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.52 released
Fri Jul 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added log information about used boot-theme
Fri Jul 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - clarify user creation and group association documentation - some alpha ordering inside the schema
Thu Jul 29 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - support add-pattern option in upgrade mode too
Thu Jul 29 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - add changelog entry for last commit - recreate documentation
Thu Jul 29 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - again fixed parted version setup
Wed Jul 28 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - again fixed PARTED_VER setup. older version strings looks different than the new ones. We had to standardize those too
Tue Jul 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed PARTED_VER setup and tests. If the parted version is below or equal 1.8.8 we switch to fdisk. This applies for sle10 where parted doesn\'t have some options which we require
Tue Jul 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added support for image caching. With this feature you can provide a cache directory along with the option --cache. kiwi in prepare step looks into the directory if it finds a cache serving as the base-root for the system image. If it can\'t find one it creates caches based on the patterns used in the image description which speeds up subsequent prepare calls for this and other images
Tue Jul 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed solvable cache if only one solvable is created it was removed and not cached
Tue Jul 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value for $dir
Tue Jul 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suse-11.3/suse-min-gnome example, added missing icewm and a terminal :)

Mon Jul 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed SLE10 boot images using gettext-runtime. This package doesn\'t exist there, it was gettext only (bnc #625392)
Mon Jul 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - accidently removed an important return statement in setupBootPartition
Mon Jul 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.51 released
Mon Jul 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupBootPartition() to return with a bootid export in _any_ case. Default bootid is 1 (bnc #625379)
Fri Jul 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.50 released
Fri Jul 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed URL quoting, we have to distinguish the quoting for local path URL\'s and network protocol URL\'s
Thu Jul 22 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed xenconfig creation for vmx if no format was set
Thu Jul 22 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value and test -z usage in bash code
Thu Jul 22 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed locale validation and documentation as well as some template examples provided by kiwi. The locale value in kiwi is always a UTF-8 locale therefore it\'s not allowed to add the encoding type to the locale string. We also support the xx_XX locale style only which is now all checked by the schema (bnc #620789)
Thu Jul 22 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed documentation about the evaluation of the locale information
Thu Jul 22 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed locale setup for some examples
Tue Jul 20 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed oem recovery for LVM based images. It\'s required to backup the LVM metadata in order to restore it
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
Mon Jul 19 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.49 released
Sat Jul 17 14:00:00 2010 rootAATTsuse.de - install bootloader for vmx and usb after initial deployment to make sure reboot works
Fri Jul 16 14:00:00 2010 rootAATTsuse.de - added suport for the btrfs filesystem (bnc #596205)

Tue Jul 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - put the information about the xen domain setup into the initrd as variable kiwi_xendomain
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)
Tue Jul 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - usb attribute in vmwareconfig doesn\'t exist anymore with the new machine section. usb is always present for vmware fixed xslt stylesheet for this case
Fri Jul 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.45 released
Fri Jul 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - recovery tarball: tar is intelligent enough to find hard link references. This causes the archive to be smaller. But when kiwi installs the root tree into the image all hard link references will solve into a new inode. According to this the recreation of the tarball in combination with an inplace setup will always be bigger than the reference tarball from the root tree and this causes the recovery partition and/or the free space inside the root partition to be too small. I fixed this with the following tar option: --hard-dereference
Tue Jul 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the creation of the zipl.conf file the installation of zipl into the MBR from a loop file is still an open issue. We need to talk to IBM here first - restructure source tree a bit. make templates and repos architecture dependent because of the s390 implementations
Tue Jul 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make sure virtio_blk is loaded
Tue Jul 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - match MBR id for little and big endian machines
Tue Jul 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t exit with an error if \'zypper rm\' can\'t find the package - check for profiles when searching for foreign packages also search in type=image and type=bootstrap package sections
Mon Jul 5 14:00:00 2010 rootAATTsuse.de - removed SLE10 target for s390, we are starting with SLE11 SP1 - added support for s390 kernel extraction from initrd (image file) - fixed vmxboot/oemboot boot image descriptions for s390 - added kiwi-tools for s390/s390x
Mon Jul 5 14:00:00 2010 adrianAATTsuse.de - fix syntax error from my last commit :/
Fri Jul 2 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.44 released
Fri Jul 2 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized iso object reference
Thu Jul 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repartition problem with new and old parted. The code has been changed in a way that it uses a sector based start value and a cylinder based end value
Thu Jul 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - call conversion module automatically but only if a format was set in config.xml. Exception: the xen image type, which requires a machine configuration but without a format conversion
Thu Jul 1 14:00:00 2010 adrianAATTsuse.de Make volume id labels nicer on coolos request:
* Always strip -Media
* Do not add dots when stripping
* Do add media number .XXX suffix only when multiple medias exist
Thu Jul 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - use format from xml if specified and not set on the commandline for the conversion into another image format
Wed Jun 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed minor ovf creation bugs. Note old versions of ovftool will not work with this version of kiwi because VMware changed the option set of their own tool completely
Wed Jun 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update image descriptions via xslt
Wed Jun 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added xslt stylesheet to convert from schema v4.6 to v4.7 the conversion moves the vmwareconfig and xenconfig sections into the common machine sections and also changes format=\"iso\" into installiso=\"true\" and format=\"usb\" into installstick=\"true\"
Wed Jun 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation according to the new KIWIImageFormat module and the changes in the type and VM configuration XML setup
Tue Jun 29 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - Cleanup formats in kiwi:
* create new KIWIImageFormat.pm module for the conversion into different image formats like vmdk,ovf and friends. Also added function for creating the machine configuration into this new module
* create common XML specification for vmware|xen config starting with
* added new option --convert to kiwi.
* recursively call kiwi with $main::Convert set to convert into the specified format and/or configuration
* added bool attributes installcd and installstick replacing the old format=\"iso\" and format=\"usb\" setup
Mon Jun 28 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - moved the XML validation ahead of the first data extraction - changed the way validation errors are reported. If the xml file was converted via XSL the error will be reported against the converted file. This makes the error reporting more meaningful as otherwise validation errors are reported that are due to the use of an older schema version. - fixed typo in convert45to46.xsl. Do not swallow attributes on packages of the vmware section - Thanks to Robert who did the last three ones, great work :)
Fri Jun 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.43 released
Fri Jun 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed copy of root tree into final image. We used cp -a $source/ * $dest which did not match the dot files in $source/. * Therefore I changed this to use a tar based copy
Thu Jun 24 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
Wed Jun 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - add bugid to changelog entry
Wed Jun 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update the min gnome example to 11.3
Wed Jun 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - use cylinder based alignment with new parted version 2.2.x. This fixes the oem repartition code for systems which uses parted >= 2.2.x build on a parted 1.9.x build system. Also removed unused functions: partedGetSectors and partedStartCylinder
Wed Jun 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed attribute validation, space and / is not allowed for this attribute

Fri Jun 18 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - avoid a Perl runtime error message from being printed if the XML file parsing fails. - changed findExec to return undef if the executable cannot be found. If as previously the execName is returned the caller has no way to differentiate whether or not the desired executable actually exists on the system.
Thu Jun 17 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - migration:
* fixed distro detection
* added support for harware dependent package information

Wed Jun 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - reduce the scope of the eval around the config.xml file parsing. The only operation that may fail with an exception is the parsing, while accessing the resulting document does not generate exceptions, thus the eval (exception handling) should only enclose the code that actually may trigger an exception - improve the XML validation error reporting if jing is installed on the system
Wed Jun 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - also search for pattern file name in repomd.xml
Wed Jun 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repo-patterns info module

Tue May 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - use isolinux for install CD\'s if sys|extlinux was requested as bootloader for an oem image plus install media (bnc #606651) - 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 msAATTsuse.de - v4.37 released
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)

Fri May 21 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed support for dmsquash filesystem. This implementation was replaced by clicfs. dmsquash was a combination of a squashfs filesystem together with a device mapper snapshot as copy-on-write part. There was no way to properly react if we run out of cow space which also makes this feature more or less useles in a production environment
Fri May 21 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed size check for repart operation - make sure home has a min size of 500 MB if home partition was requested

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 - typo in changelog
Fri May 7 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed check for utimer program, it\'s not a mandatory requirement for the system to be able to boot correctly - fixed mkinitrd call, check if the option -B exists and don\'t pass it if it doesn\'t first (bnc #603338)

Wed May 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed warning message if URL can\'t be resolved - 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
Tue May 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - package scripts change: use File::lchown qw( lutimes ); for changing the a|mtime of the symlinks inside the source tarball. This means all people who use \"make build\" from the kiwi source need to make sure they have the File::lchown module installed from CPAN
Tue May 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - preserve timestamps of source tarballs if not change has happened. I\'m still searching for a way to preserve timestamps of symlinks (cp -a has a bug and does not preserve it)

Thu Apr 29 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added parted to isoboot images this is required for the hybrid persistent feature. also increased min space for clicfs embedded ext3 filesystem. Also fixed the createHybridPersistent() function to use fdisk instead of parted. The problem here is that parted doesn\'t accept the partitiont able written by the isohybrid tool.
Thu Apr 29 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.32 released
Wed Apr 28 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repartition code for overlay systems (clicfs)

Tue Nov 24 13:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - v3.80 - 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.

Wed Jun 24 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - 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.
