Calling \'pvs --noheadings -o vg_name \' is not sufficient to get the volume name and to determine if LVM is being used, as it could happen that udev events are not yet processed, thus the is not yet properly mapped. With this patch blkid is being used to determine if the type of the requested partition is LVM and if so it proceeds to a polling strategy to call pvs tool until it succeeds. Timeout is set to 30 seconds.

Thu May 4 14:00:00 2017 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed detection of Xen PV guest The method isXen was used to check if the paravirtual kernel kernel-xen is used and if so it influences the setup of the bootloader. In newer versions there is no kernel-xen anymore and its capabilities were moved into the pvops kernel provided with the standard kernel-default package. Thus one kernel can now serve for pv, hvm and dom0 images. Because of that there is no other way than specifying the target Xen use case as part of the image description. The information can be provided in the doman setup of the machine configuratin with: - domain=\"dom0\" - domain=\"domU\" - domain=\"domU-PV\" The new domU-PV value allows to specify that this image is going to be used as a xen para virtual guest. The standard domU value will setup the bootloader in a way that it is usable as \"real\" bootloader in an hvmloader Xen guest. Fixes (bsc#1036198)

That is interfering with the mdadm --assemble call by kiwi which leads to a busy state and an array in inactive state. Therefore the method should wait until the raid array really exists no matter if the assembling is started by udev or kiwi\'s mdadm call. In addition if the array got assembled but is incomplete because devices are missing or the timout is fired, an additional call to start any array that has been partially assembled is required. pxeRaidAssemble will throw an exception if after this call no md device with a size > 0 will show up after a timeout.

However this could cause a race condition together with grub2-mkconfig. If grub2-mkconfig is called but dracut has not yet created the initrd, grub2 creates a configuration file without an initrd. The result boot setup is not able to reboot the system because the initrd is not loaded. This fixes (bnc#982092)

Mon Apr 18 14:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Add part_msdos module for self build EFI image On ARM we have a few hooks in kiwi that allow us to adapt the resulting image to target boards. On some systems, we need to install the firmware to hardware specified sector offsets on the image target (sd card). Unfortunately some systems demand firmware at sector 1 which is where the GPT would usually reside. So we need to use an MBR partition layout. We can convert the GPT into an MBR using gdisk in our ARM scripts, but at that point grub2 would have to be able to interpret the MBR as well. So we need the \"msdos_part\" module included (bnc#975898)

The requirement was added by the contents of the arm boot image descriptions. However those packages will not be part of the boot image descriptions in the near future and thus the buildservice needs them to be referenced explicitly in the spec file

We have to add the file name ourselves. Reason for the confusion is code in OBS\'s build script that under certain conditions computes the sha256sum file itself. So this code here was never used where it actually matters. This reverts commit 97b92d0e0a58cdd237b109efbf843b6057172164.
Wed Feb 3 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.51 released
Wed Feb 3 13:00:00 2016 ludwig.nusselAATTsuse.de - always sign bundled result no matter what the output format is we want OBS to add a gpg signature on the result. Therefore always also produce a .sha256 sums file for that purpose.
Wed Feb 3 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed updateRootDeviceFstab Support by-label mount entries for btrfs subvolumes This fixes bnc#964474
Tue Feb 2 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Don\'t add kernel filesystems to fstab Systems with systemd which this kiwi version aims for, doesn\'t need proc, sysfs, debugfs and friends to be part of the fstab This fixes bnc#964472

Wed Jan 27 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Evaluate kiwi_btrfs_root_is_snapshot in boot code If set it\'s required to mount the subvolumes like it is done with lvm volumes. In addition this patch fixes the update of the fstab file which has to contain an entry for each subvolume excluding snapshots and the toplevel This is related to (bnc#946648)
Wed Jan 27 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Added get/set(er) for btrfs_root_is_snapshot attr This is related to (bnc#946648)

Tue Jan 12 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Don\'t use filesystem specific mount option When mounting the read write filesystem, prevent using filesystem specific options like barrier
Tue Jan 12 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Use HYBRID_EXT4_OPTS in fat container filesystem
Tue Jan 12 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Check read write filesystem prior to mounting If a filesystem type could be identified on the read write partition check it before mounting to eliminate a potential dirty state
Tue Jan 12 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Cascade exfat mount try normal mount first, if this does not work try fuse mount Normally this is done automatically by the mount program but if not we will give the direct fuse mount a chance
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Make createFileSystem more robust When passing in a loop file instead of a device name, the method should be smart enough to handle the name without shell evaluation
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Added support for exfat as hybrid filesystem In addition to fat also exfat is now supported as persistent write filesystem. Because of the limitations of a fat filesystem fat and exfat are only used as a container filesystem providing an ext4 linux filesystem as a cowfile. The algorithm to create the size of the cow file has also been changed to use half of the size of the write partition or on fat a max size of 4G. The size of the cowfile is also prepared to become overwritten. However the XML definition and implementation to do this is still missing
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Reread partition table after hybrid setup The hybrid write partition is created via fdisk. Some version of fdisk does not send the ioctl to let the kernel reread the table or fdisk itself holds it busy. Thus we actively initiate a reread via blockdev
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Optimize ext4 hybrid write filesystem options Optimized for 512kB erase block size
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Use mount options to increase overlay performace For overlay filesystems not writing into a tmpfs performance is more important than safety. We use this combination of options for now, if you encounter stability problems please let us know
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Use -f force option for extX filesystem checker
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Refactor and cleanup setupReadWrite Fix misleading error message and refactor the code to be less complex and more clear in the processing of tasks
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Allow custom cowfile name for persistent data Instead of a fixed name \'cowfile\' we allow a custom name which is predefined in HYBRID_PERSISTENT_FILENAME and prepared to become overwritten by an XML defintion whose implementation will follow later. Reason for the change is that a cowfile is visible as plain data file to the operating system if e.g used on a live stick. It should be more clear to the user what this file is good for
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Protect mkfs.exfat from being deleted Added to the strip tools section in order to keep it in the initrd
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Added support for exfat creation and probing In preparation to use exfat instead of vfat in a loop container for persistent data it\'s required to provide support for mkfs.exfat
Mon Jan 11 13:00:00 2016 msAATTsuse.de - Make loop_setup and loop_delete more robust The methods did not cope well with filenames containing bash characters with special meaning e.g spaces. For use with a iso hybrid cowfile whose name is visible in the OS the methods should be able to work with any given filename
Sat Dec 26 13:00:00 2015 cyberorgAATTopensuse.org - fix message of missing command
Wed Dec 23 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.48 released
Wed Dec 23 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed import of kernel parameters including spaces Kernel parameters like PRODUCT_TYPE=âPRODUCT BANANAâ breaks the code in includeKernelParameters. This patch allows spaces for values in a way that it replaces the embedded whitespace with \\030 before parsing and then reverting after parsing. Thanks to Jay Nitikman for providing the patch
Wed Dec 23 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed uninstall target for buildroot use case

Wed Dec 23 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed LUKS setup for dracut The system image has to provide /etc/crypttab to allow dracut to create a working initrd for reboot. In addition the name of the luks map must be \'luks\' to make dracut happy.
Wed Dec 23 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed installation of documentation

Mon Dec 21 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed JeOS templates configured for efi boot in case of efi the efi modules should be installed to the system. Even though it\'s not a problem for kiwi because it takes the modules from the self build initrd it could become a problem when grub2 is used for reconfiguration on the system later. It is also questionable whether it is a good idea from kiwi to install the efi modules as part of the initrd just for the purpose to take them from there at build time when they are not really needed in the initrd at boot time. The new (next generation) kiwi version will lookup modules from the system if possible and will not keep them inside of the initrd
Mon Dec 21 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed suse-SLE12-community-JeOS description kernel-debug is not installed, no need to have it in the delete section

Tue Dec 15 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed validation of updates/weak-updates modules suseStripKernel took the update and weak-update modules only into account if they are mentioned in the drivers list. But these modules are considered p1 and should always be included and also checked against its dependencies
Tue Dec 15 13:00:00 2015 martin.koeglerAATTchello.at - Allow xfs as hybrid RW file system

Thu Dec 10 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed user setup If multiple users are setup in the same users section the commandline is broken because not reset to empty after a previous user setup run
Wed Dec 9 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Delete use of DOMURD_MODULES The predefined values were wrong and the information is not used anymore since mkinitrd / dracut takes the list of loaded modules into account
Wed Dec 9 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Run dracut as background process for vmx images The dracut process takes quite some time and blocks the boot process. In cloud frameworks instance boot time matters and with this patch the dracut process runs in parallel with the rest of the boot process.

It expands to the kiwi boot image description name according to the buildservice build distribution. It\'s important to see the value it has expanded to in the buildlog

Wed Dec 2 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed creation of /var/run vs. /run It should not be kiwi\'s task to handle that but it seems we will not be able to fix this in a clean way on the package level. Thus I added a bad hack to check for the desired distro from the value of the boot attribute and create either /run with a symlink /var/run or /var/run
Wed Dec 2 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec file requirements for older systems (SLE11), the pidof program as used by kiwi is provided with the sysvinit package not with sysvinit-tools
Mon Nov 30 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Don\'t recursively remove tmpdir structure If the master /tmp directory is empty there is the potential risk that /tmp gets removed too, which would cause many bad after effects bnc#957008
Mon Nov 30 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Use tmpfs not ramdisk for overlayfs union images overlayfs based iso images (flags=\"overlay\") used a ramdisk of a fixed ramsize as temporary write space if used on read-only media. This limits the write space to the configured ramdisk size and is now changed to a tmpfs location. Fixes #513
Sat Nov 28 13:00:00 2015 seife+devAATTb1-sytems.com - make .checksum.md5 contents reproducible In order to have reproducible builds in OBS with unchanged sources, sort the file list before feeding it to \"md5sum\". Without, rebuilds would differ in that file as the file list order was random. Also, get rid of \"find | grep -v ... | grep -v ...\" for ignoring filenames and just use find\'s options to achieve that. Saves two fork() and a few CPU cycles :-)
Fri Nov 27 13:00:00 2015 seife+devAATTb1-sytems.com - KIWIBoot: add grub2-mkimage prefix option grub2-mkimage on CentOS/RHEL7 *needs * the \"-p \" option or it will abort with an error. On openSUSE\'s grub2-mkimage, prefix defaults to \"/boot/grub2\". Add \"-p /boot/grub2\" to all grub2-mkimage calls, so that they can work with CentOS, too. This *should * not break things on SUSE base ;-)

Mon Nov 16 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Deleted __checkMountDependencies runtime check I\'m afraid but this check causes more false positives than the correct detection of an inconsistency in the mount table. Checking if the string \'kiwi\' appears in the process list is not enough, especially in contained environment where the host kernel shares mount information with a VM or container guest this check is always wrong. We need a better solution here. Fixes Issue#501

However, when using OBS only the install.iso is exported. This is, because \"kiwi --bundle-build\" will only export one image and return. Change this to export all: .iso, .raw and .tar.xz

Wed Oct 28 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added vmdk descriptor update VMWare applications are made aware that an image has vm-tools installed via tags appended to the VMDK\'s metadata. Typically, the tools write the metadata during their first run, but in our case the first run of the tools is the first boot of the appliance, so the host application is not aware of tools until after a VM has been rebooted, missing a critical opportunity to configure an instance before or during the first boot. In order to allow VMWare applications (include vCloud) to be aware that vm-tools are installed, we need to add the appropriate metadata to the image during its creation

Thu Oct 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Support generic multipath lookup Instead if limiting the support for multipath boot devices this is now checked for all architectures which should also allow iSCSI boot devices. (bnc#946387)
Wed Oct 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Support multipath lookup for ZFCP devices on s390 The disk device the image was ipl\'ed from might be configured to be in a multipath stack. In this case it\'s required to use the mapped device instead of one of the multipath targets directly. This is related to (bnc#944017)
Wed Oct 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Provide a startMultipathd method Move the start of the multipath daemon from the oem boot code specific identifyMultipath method to its own method in the global space
Tue Oct 6 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.26 released
Tue Oct 6 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update -requires matcher for SLE12 SP1 The macro %{suse_version} returns 1316 for SLE12 SP1, this must be addressed in the spec file to let the internal -requires packages contain the correct list for building images inside of the buildservice (bsc#949046)
Tue Oct 6 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Rename SLE JeOS descriptions In order to avoid a naming conflict with the JeOS product we agreed on renaming the SLE JeOS description in kiwi to contain the community keyword to separate this descriptions from the SUSE JeOS product This addresses (fate#319430)

Tue Sep 29 14:00:00 2015 dvaleevAATTsuse.com - Drop imagePrepDevice imagePrepDeivce was never set, lets drop it. Signed-off-by: Dinar Valeev
Tue Sep 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.24 released
Tue Sep 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added basic support for grub2 serial console The required configuration steps were added to the bootloader configuration. However there is currently no attribute to select the serial console case from the XML description. This will be added on demand
Fri Sep 25 14:00:00 2015 dvaleevAATTsuse.com - Set PReP device We need to set PReP device, otherwise we just call grub2-install, which is not installing a bootloader Signed-off-by: Dinar Valeev
Thu Sep 24 14:00:00 2015 ludwig.nusselAATTsuse.de - don\'t overwrite grub2 background image The background image is already defined in theme.txt. Overwriting breaks the editing menu (bsc#947326).
Wed Sep 23 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Support SLE12 and leap42.1 boot images for arm Deleted 13.2 and non stable tumbleweed from arm based descriptions
Tue Sep 22 14:00:00 2015 cyberorgAATTopensuse.org - use obs://factory/repo/oss/ for tumbleweed boot images
Tue Sep 22 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed toram live boot mode The recent implementation broke the standard method which mounted the CD instead of copying it
Mon Sep 21 14:00:00 2015 cyberorgAATTopensuse.org - tabs to spaces
Mon Sep 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Add root filesystem label to images In order to allow devicepersistency=\"by-label\" also for the root filesystem, the setupFilesystem method has been extended for all supported filesystems to add a root label too. The default name for the root label is \'ROOT\'. This addresses bnc#946236
Mon Sep 21 14:00:00 2015 cyberorgAATTopensuse.org - Echo, rmdir and remove full paths from commands
Mon Sep 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added documentation for the toram option Implementation of the toram option is done in PR https://github.com/openSUSE/kiwi/pull/492
Mon Sep 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.23 released
Fri Sep 18 14:00:00 2015 cyberorgAATTopensuse.org - rename mountLivecd to mountOrCopyLiveCD, use cp -ar, remove $SIZE test
Fri Sep 18 14:00:00 2015 cyberorgAATTopensuse.org - Add \"toram\" boot parameter to allow running the live system entirely from RAM
Fri Sep 18 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure kiwi_BootPart variable is written kiwi_BootPart is expected to exist in the initrd environment Thus it\'s required to write it in config.partids in any case. If there is no extra boot partition kiwi_BootPart equals kiwi_RootPart. This fixes bnc#946387
Fri Sep 18 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.22 released
Fri Sep 18 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Prevent prefix setup in grub.cfg for Xen This is because Xen PV guests boot via a first stage loader pygrub/pvgrub and interpret the grub config file differently. One inconsistency is that pvgrub searches for the grub modules at a different place. Setting up the prefix will point pvgrub to the wrong place and the system fail to boot.
Thu Sep 17 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Prevent command variables for Xen domU grub2 setup Xen PV images which boot via pvgrub have the problem that pvgrub is not able to correctly read in the kiwi written grub.cfg file. This is because kiwi uses a variable which contains the loader command e.g $linux instead of the loader command directly. grub2 supports this but pvgrub is not able to interpret this information. Therefore this patch prevents the use of the variable if the target image is Xen, domU and the firmware type is set to bios
Thu Sep 17 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Embed LOADER_TYPE into double quotes required to make perl-bootloader happy
Wed Sep 16 14:00:00 2015 dmuellerAATTsuse.com - Add vmxboot support for aarch64 on SLE12 and leap42.1
Mon Sep 14 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added Tumbleweed and Leap42 as known distributions The kiwi spec file also build metadata packages used internally by the buildservice. These so called -requires packages needs to find the right kiwi provided boot image descriptions according to the image distribution. For The Leap42 and Tumbleweed distros an extra pattern match needed to be added
Mon Sep 14 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Deleted obsolete openSUSE 12.3 descriptions A new image template for SUSE Leap42 will follow next
Mon Sep 14 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Deleted obsolete SLED boot descriptions For building SLED images the SLES boot image descriptions can be used
Mon Sep 14 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Deleted deprecated oemboot descriptions for arm
Mon Sep 14 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed SLE12/aarch64 oemboot descriptions The description should not contain a copy of the common linuxrc boot code.
Sun Sep 13 14:00:00 2015 dmuellerAATTsuse.com - Add oemboot support for SLE12/aarch64 (fate#318444)
Fri Sep 11 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.18 released
Fri Sep 11 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added mtools requirement (bnc#945212) syslinux no longer requires mtools, but kiwi does so we have to explicitly add this requirement for oem targets
Tue Sep 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.17 released
Tue Sep 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"Remove genisoimage and cdrkit-cdrtools-compat dependency\" This reverts commit 0c7b2885c37b16d69e46caf7c365d2eacb615cd9.
Tue Sep 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.16 released
Tue Sep 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - System to boot inheritance for wwid_wait_timeout Added missing transfer of wwid_wait_timeout from the system image description into the boot image description
Mon Sep 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Delete live patch for dracut module With the correct /var/run symlink the broken dracut module is not called and thus the problem in dracut is workarounded Nevertheless dracut needs the fix
Mon Sep 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed setup of /var/run location /var/run is a symlink to /run on newer systems and a directory on older systems. We need to properly handle that
Mon Sep 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed jenkins build preparation For some reason no mkisofs package is available anymore. Thus the jenkins prepare script should not rely on it to be installed
Mon Sep 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Renamed bootloader ziplgrub to grub2_s390x_emu We don\'t want to populate a non existing bootloader. Thus the decision was to use the grub2 platform name for the SLE12 s390 boot workflow (bnc#944017)
Mon Sep 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update s390 JeOS description adding hotfix patches requires patch program to be installed
Mon Sep 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update s390 JeOS description Added a temporary live patch for the broken dracut module 30convertfs/do-convertfs.sh
Fri Sep 4 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed clicfs race condition sleep for a while before accessing the mounted filesystem
Fri Sep 4 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - There is no mkisofs on s390
Fri Sep 4 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed openSUSE 13.2 diskless netboot profile kernel version 3.x uses another structure to store the network drivers. Thus the drivers matching in the netboot/suse-13.2/config.xml did not match anymore (bnc#943888)
Thu Sep 3 14:00:00 2015 jochen.keilAATTgmail.com - Test whether file is executable instead mere existence
Thu Sep 3 14:00:00 2015 jochen.keilAATTgmail.com - Make sure to use the correct isoinfo executable In order to remove the cdrkit-cdrtools-compat dependency (and in turn wodim), it is necessary to check whether to use /usr/bin/isoinfo or /usr/lib/genisoimage/isoinfo.
Mon Aug 31 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added required packages to SLE12 s390 images
* added grub2 and grub2-s390x-emu to vmx|oem boot images
* added grub2, grub2-s390x-emu and kexec-tools to JeOS templates
* extend JeOS template by some useful tool, e.g parted, ip, less
Mon Aug 31 14:00:00 2015 schwabAATTsuse.de - Increase fsoverhead for btrfs again
Mon Aug 31 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of undefined value
Mon Aug 31 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Support for stacked zipl plus grub2 boot In SLES12 zipl and btrfs are incompatible because the block where the initrd and the kernel live could change in a btrfs filesystem. Because IBM is not going to fix zipl to work with btrfs a new boot process has been invented by the SLES team which impacts kiwi too.
Mon Aug 31 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed build type setup for boot images
Mon Aug 31 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed typos in default boot image repos
Thu Aug 27 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.15 released
Thu Aug 27 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added type attribute wwid_wait_timeout multipath devices from a SAN system take some time to appear on the host. In order to have all presented wwn\'s available on the host it\'s required to wait some time because we can\'t poll for the appearance of a specific device the wait period is now customizable. The default wait period is 3 seconds
Tue Aug 25 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"Remove genisoimage and cdrkit-cdrtools-compat dependency\"
Mon Aug 24 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.14 released
Mon Aug 24 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Skip loopback nic in interface selection setupNetworkStatic selects the last interface to be used for the setup. This is not a smart selection but it should not select the loopback interface in any case. Whether or not it\'s possible to automatically just select the \"right\" nic is still an open task.
Mon Aug 24 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed reading of search path for editboot * scripts In build and create mode the origin path of the XML description was not correctly initialized. kiwi skipped reading the meta information from the unpacked image root tree because it already has a pointer to the XML description, however this data set does not provide the origin path of the kiwi call
Tue Aug 18 14:00:00 2015 schwabAATTsuse.de - Remove duplicate provide of kiwi-image:tbz
Thu Aug 13 14:00:00 2015 jochen.keilAATTgmail.com - Don\'t fix the catalog when it\'s already correct In contrast to genisoimage, mkisofs generates a proper boot catalog entry. Thus it is not necessary to fix it. - Don\'t fix the catalog when it\'s already correct In contrast to genisoimage, mkisofs generates a proper boot catalog entry. Thus it is not necessary to fix it.
Wed Aug 12 14:00:00 2015 jochen.keilAATTgmail.com - Remove genisoimage and cdrkit-cdrtools-compat dependency
* cdrkit-cdrtools-compat provides a symlink from mkisofs to genisoimage
* It should be safe to use mkisofs as drop-in replacement for genisoimage
* Removing these dependencies is one step towards removing wodim - Remove genisoimage and cdrkit-cdrtools-compat dependency
* cdrkit-cdrtools-compat provides a symlink from mkisofs to genisoimage

Mon Aug 3 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.13 released
Mon Aug 3 14:00:00 2015 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - Add a line that helps solver debugging, commented out by default
Thu Jul 30 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed XML writer for array of objects Elements which can appear multiple times like the vagrantconfig element are stored as array of objects. The XML writer has to iterate over the array and ask for the XML setup of each of the objects inside of the array
Tue Jul 28 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Deleted yum grouplist check Prior to installing yum groups, kiwi performed a grouplist to check if the group exists. That\'s because yum groupinstall does only print a warning message if a non existing group should be installed. The problem here is that the group names displayed by yum grouplist are the description names like \"Console internet tools\" but the group id name in this case \"console-internet\" is not displayed. This makes it impossible for kiwi to use the yum group id names which we should prefer over the description texts, because the texts could contain special characters which makes it hard to validate the content in a stable way. In addition yum groupinstall works more reliable if the group id names are used
Tue Jul 28 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.10 released
Tue Jul 28 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed installation of recovery grub for RHEL
Mon Jul 27 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed disk size adaption for in place recovery The size of the disk is increased by the require space to create the recovery tar archive at boot time. However the value was not in the xml instance because KIWIBoot creates their own instance of KIWIXML. This is fixed now by passing along the origin XML instance when available
Mon Jul 27 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed in place recovery The information about the size of the recovery partition was missing inside of the initrd. The information is now available as variable in the profile environment
Fri Jul 24 14:00:00 2015 fsAATTsuse.de - Kiwi Doc Revision Pt. 5: ISO images
Fri Jul 24 14:00:00 2015 fsAATTsuse.de - Added TODO list
Fri Jul 24 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.9 released
Fri Jul 24 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added custom hybridpersistent_filesystem attribute By default kiwi creates a btrfs partition as write space for hybrid live systems. With the new attribute one can specify also the \'fat\' filesystem as write space. This would allow to create hybrid live images which are compatible with the Windows OS in a similar way like kiwi\'s livestick tool does it. This Fixes #475
Thu Jul 23 14:00:00 2015 fsAATTsuse.de - Kiwi Doc Revision Pt. 4: Moving RAID, LUKS, LVM and Cache to Advanced Config
Thu Jul 16 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update dice configuration files Use the new dice docker buildsystem instead of vagrant calling docker. There is also a kiwi-build-box container on dockerhub which is automatically used for the build
Wed Jul 15 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.7 released
Tue Jul 14 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Use defined macro to check if variable is defined The perl version in tumbleweed seems to behave more strict on this
Tue Jul 14 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.6 released
Tue Jul 14 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Allow containers to be build without systemd the container setup procedure by default disable some services. In order to do this either systemctl or chkconfig is used. However this should not be a mandatory task because it is ok to build containers without service tools installed
Mon Jul 13 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Follow up fix for repo detection in kiwi describe The data fields of zypper in newer versions has changed. Thus split by the field separator and extract the information. Fortunately the ordering hasn\'t changed
Mon Jul 13 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed repo detection in describer module The zypper syntax has changed, thus detection of the repo state leads to incorrect results

Thu Jul 9 14:00:00 2015 fsAATTsuse.de - Pretty formatting the sources, standardized the use of lists
Tue Jul 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added __checkImageIncludeApplicable runtime check The imageinclude attribute is currently not supported with all URI types. Therefore we test if the repo URL uses obs|iso and provide a message to the user. If we want to support this in the future for obs URI types the imageinclude feature has to auto map the obs URI into the correct http URI which will only work for repositories in the public part of the open buildservice This Fixes #472
Tue Jul 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.4 released
Tue Jul 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed createOVFConfiguration Make sure destination directory exists prior to moving data
Wed Jul 1 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.03.3 released
Wed Jul 1 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Follow up Fix for grub2 setup on btrfs Only if no bootpartition is used and a volume setup exists it\'s required to adapt the boot path with the initial \'AATT\' subvolume
Mon Jun 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed __checkPreferencesDefinition runtime check The check for the uniqueness of the profile name is based on a regular expression. However the expression matches a subset of names which causes \'foo\' and \'foofoo\' to be triggered as the same name
Mon Jun 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update SLE12 JeOS Added Xen HVM type setup to be referenced in the documentation Deleted ec2 image build. This will eventually become a new chapter referencing the images as we build it in the buildservice later
Mon Jun 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Editorial review Chapter 17 EC2 documentation deleted, this chapter needs a rewrite with regards to tools developed in the public cloud development team. I would also not mention any sequence to support s3 baked images, we should focus on EBS baked images
Mon Jun 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.58 released
Mon Jun 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Add uuid support in createFilesystem for btrfs
Fri Jun 26 14:00:00 2015 fsAATTsuse.de - Update documentation structure for DAPS DAPS is the toolkit used in the documentation department to build, validate and submit documentation. The kiwi documentation will be integrated into the SUSE documentation department and therefore the structure in the source repository needs to be compatible with the SUSE documentation process
Wed Jun 24 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed custom image size use Allow use of the custom image size even if it is smaller than the kiwi calculated one. Especially for the btrfs filesystem the calculation is sometimes not accurate enough
Mon Jun 22 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed shell variable quoting in compare statements
Mon Jun 22 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Prevent createHybridPersistent waiting for devs Check if the write partition creation returns success before waiting for the expected device to become created. This prevents a long wait period on a device which never will come up if the partition could not be created. This Fixes #466
Mon Jun 22 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed legacy grub install for install stick images Installing legacy grub can happen using the image grub or the build host grub. However for install stick disks there is no grub in the install image even if it is present in the system image the stick installs. Therefore the host installed grub should be used as a fallback. This Fixes #471
Sun Jun 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Changed search for boot from hardisk for efi Instead of looking for a fixed partition id, let grub2 search for the EFI label
Sat Jun 20 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed RHEL 6 JeOS template default bootloader for this distribution is grub not grub2
Fri Jun 19 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.57 released

Thu Jun 18 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of union type in pxe setup The reference on clicfs was still present in the schema and the runtime checks. However clicfs is out of support and overlayfs is the only union filesystem we really support
Wed Jun 17 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update s390 JeOS image description for the oem and vmx types build the disk for a DASD target in CDL mode (ECKD). Also make this clear in the name of the generated image
Wed Jun 17 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed diskOffset calcuation for s390 zipl wants the number of blocks to indicate the start of the first partition, not the number of tracks
Wed Jun 17 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed zipl installation for LDL/CDL on loop device Installing zipl on the LDL/CDL target device types requires to specify the disk geometry. zipl is not able to get that information from a loop device. Therefore we need to hand over a targetgeometry which matches the loop geometry
Wed Jun 17 14:00:00 2015 bgeukenAATTsuse.de - TypoFix: for for -> do for
Tue Jun 16 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update SLE12 JeOS Added vagrant and docker configurations to be referenced in the documentation
Tue Jun 16 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update selector for partitioner tool If we are building a dasd image using the new loop driver which supports 4k devices, we need a way to select fdasd as partitioner on s390. This can be done via commandline options but is now also auto selected if a zipl_targettype of CDL or LDL is specified
Tue Jun 16 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Implement setup of loop logical sector size The new loop driver capability allows to set a custom blocksize on setup of the loop device. The attribute value from the target_blocksize attribute is used in losetup as follows: -L target_blocksize This fixes (bnc#931634)

Tue Jun 9 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.55 released
Tue Jun 9 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Allow to overwrite root= via kernelcmdline If one of the ec2 firmware types is used the root= variable is explicitly set to a static value. There was no way for the user to set an alternative device via the kernelcmdline attribute in the image description
Tue Jun 9 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed zipl installBootLoader blocksize usage There is now the target_blocksize attribute which is used. If not specified the default blocksize of 512 bytes applies (bnc#931634)
Tue Jun 9 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed zipl installBootLoader blocksize retrieval In order to find the target blocksize for the zipl configuration kiwi asked for the pyhiscal blocksize. However the logical block size should be used when zipl accesses the device (bnc#931634)
Tue Jun 9 14:00:00 2015 adrianAATTsuse.de - fix version detection for debug packages
Mon Jun 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.54 released
Mon Jun 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added __checkVolumeSetup runtime check Checks for improper combination of boot volumes in combination with an extra boot partition
Mon Jun 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added runtime check for internal field separator Using the internal path field separator in volume names (_) requires to specify the path in an additional mountpoint attribute
Mon Jun 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed volume name adaptions for btrfs and zfs There is no need to replace any character in the name for the volume of a filesystem which includes a volume manager. Fixes (bnc#933909)
Mon Jun 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed evaluation of bootincluded archives Archives set in the bootstrap section and marked as bootinclude were not really used and therefore its contents were missing in the kiwi initrd
Mon Jun 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"Implement setup of loop blocksize\" The user space interface will change because in order to set the pyhsical blocksize the value must be present on loop creation. This required options to the losetup call and can\'t be done afterwards. Therefore the implementation in kiwi will be reverted until the user space interface for losetup is final This reverts commit d2dfead392a7dd2064afbd59df4c4d67bcacbc98.
Mon Jun 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Implement setup of loop blocksize The new loop driver capability allows to set a custom blocksize This patch makes use of it with the value from the optional target_blocksize attribute (bnc#931634)
Fri Jun 5 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.53 released
Fri Jun 5 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Follow up fix for btrfs grub2 boot path For iso media the adaption of the boot path to /AATT/... is wrong because in this case we read from iso9660 and not from btrfs. This is related to (bnc#933664)
Fri Jun 5 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed grub2 setup on btrfs without boot partition If the image is built with btrfs and no extra boot partition is requested the grub2 btrfs module is used to read the boot data from the filesystem. However in kiwi we setup a btrfs filesystem in a way that all subvolumes are nested below a master \'AATT\' volume. Within the scope of grub2 it\'s required to adapt any path in the filesystem to match this because it\'s not possible to specify a subvolume set-default here. Because of this /boot/grub2/grub.cfg becomes /AATT/boot/grub2/grub.cfg within grub2. This fixes (bnc#933664)
Wed Jun 3 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.52 released
Thu May 28 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed result tracking from ovftool The temporary directory created for this has the same name as the ovf file created inside of it. On move of the data to the result dir this causes trouble which is fixed by this commit
Thu May 28 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added target_blocksize attribute in type section In preparation to support custom blocksize values for loops the attribute target_blocksize was implemented like the folowing example shows: This will set a 4k blocksize used for all loops setup during image build and on first boot of the image. The actual code to apply the blocksize to the loop is not yet implemented because we are still waiting for the loop driver to support it. This is related to (bnc#931634)
Wed May 27 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added pointer to XML description for loop_setup In preparation to support custom blocksize values for loops access to the XML description is needed to read the specified target_blocksize value once support for this value will be added
Wed May 27 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed ova guestOS value for 13.2 JeOS
Wed May 27 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Cleanup use of losetup In preparation to support custom blocksize values for loops global methods to loop setup/delete has been added. This is related to (bnc#931634)
Wed May 27 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added runtime check for overlay systems The __checkBootPartitionOverlaySystem runtime check makes sure the use of a boot partition is not switched off. If the root system is a read-only location the boot space must be writable
Fri May 22 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.51 released
Thu May 21 14:00:00 2015 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com - Provide kiwi-image:aci in kiwi.spec
Thu May 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update all JeOS templates, no rpm signature check Due to upcomming changes in zypper the --non-interactive option will no longer do what the name says and will prevent using packages with invalid or not checkable rpm signatures unless the option to skip the check is set. Therefore all JeOS templates now comes with false
Thu May 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Thu May 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update documentation due to OEM_ variable change
Thu May 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Cleanup use of OEM variables Deleted baseSetupOEMPartition and therefore the translation of variables from the profile into OEM_ variables by writing the environment file config.oempartition. Instead the boot now directly uses the variables from the profile which are all prefixed by kiwi_oem *
Thu May 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Deleted fixed parmfile name PARM-S11 on s390 Instead a new OEM element called: has been added. Using this element allows to specify the parmfile name without the userid. The userid is queried on demand. If no parmfile name is specified the default name PARM-S11 applies for backward compatibility. This fix relates to (bnc#931436)
Thu May 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed loading of vmcp on s390 In SLE12 vmcp is compiled into the kernel, thus loading it as a module will cause an exception which is misleading This fixes (bnc#931436)
Wed May 20 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Provide suseService method for compatibility Old image descriptions using this method will fail to build with newer kiwi versions if the function does not exist
Tue May 19 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed setup of imageBootDevice on repart make use of the kiwi_BootPart information. This was overlooked in OEMRepartStandard, all other repartition methods makes use of it
Mon May 18 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Use KIWI_IGNORE_OLD_MOUNTS for make valid target
Mon May 18 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.50 released

Sun May 17 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.49 released
Sun May 17 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of prefix in updateBootDeviceFstab prefix should indicate the prefixed root mount path and not the temporary config files path. Due to that misuse the check for boot_bind was wrong and no boot mount was written to fstab
Fri May 15 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of prefix in updateRootDeviceFstab prefix should indicate the prefixed root mount path and not the temporary config files path. Due to that misuse the wrong information was passed to the btrfs tool to ask for the list of subvolumes
Wed May 13 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.48 released
Wed May 13 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update 13.2 JeOS, auto adaption from validation
Wed May 13 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed btrfs based factory restore On factory restore the btrfs subvolumes were recreated but no default subvolume was defined. Because of this the restore of the data was not correctly shared across the subvolumes
Wed May 13 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added __checkVMConfigExist runtime check The ova and ovf formats requires a machine section to be specified in the XML description. This check makes sure it exists
Wed May 13 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed creation of btrfs filesystem Delete potentially existing btrfs signature prior to creating a new filesystem. If used with a UUID mkfs.btrfs refuses to create the filesystem even with the force option enabled if there is the same uuid already present in the metadata
Wed May 13 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Cleanup use of /mnt string in common boot code All function using /mnt hold on a prefix variable containing the value
Tue May 12 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Don\'t log errors from udevSystemStop in case udevadm has no control command don\'t log this error because the process will be stopped in a second attempt by kill
Tue May 12 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.47 released
Tue May 12 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Google doesn\'t like pretty print of json metadata
Tue May 12 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.46 released
Tue May 12 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed console initialization on exception If multiple consoles are used like console=tty0 console=ttyS0 the output is multiplexed among all consoles if plymouth or blogd is in use. However if a system shell exception occurs the exception shell was not correctly initialized as controlling terminal. In order to fix this the sulogin program is used and the shell .bashrc will reset the spawned console first. This fixes (bnc#928090)
Mon May 11 14:00:00 2015 matwey.kornilovAATTgmail.com - Introduce initial support for App Container Image (aci) Here is initial implementation of App Container Image (aci) format. This commit is able to build .aci images conforming to SPEC. [1] https://github.com/appc/spec/blob/master/SPEC.md#app-container-image
Mon May 11 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of ovftool v3.5.x If format=\"ova\" is specified kiwi uses VMware\'s ovftool if installed on the host to generated the ova tarball. In addition kiwi extracts the vmdk and ovf metadata from the ovftool generated data and overwrites it with the files created by kiwi. This allows us to create vmdk versions like VSphere needs it
Fri May 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.45 released
Fri May 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Allow archives to be bootstrap or image archives Archives listed in the bootstrap section should be installed as part of the bootstrap phase. before this patch all archives from all packages sections were collected and installed in one shot after all packages were installed.
Fri May 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed creation of bootincluded_archives.filelist This should only be done for archives marked as bootinclude
Thu May 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.44 released
Thu May 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Follow up fix for kiwi repository runtime script The temporary creation of KIWIAnalyse.tgz should be done with the login user identity
Thu May 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.43 released
Thu May 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed kiwi repository runtime script It unpacked metadata/KIWIAnalyse.tgz even if the data already exists
Thu May 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Follow up fix for grub_cpu validation Incorrect shell syntax
Thu May 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added runtime check for target directories Setting the target directory as part of /var/cache/kiwi leads to busy mount processes because this shared cache location is used by kiwi as part of the building process
Thu May 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed cache selector Calling the cache selector while in init-cache mode doesn\'t make sense
Thu May 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Changed default image cache location The previous location was set to /var/cache/kiwi/image but this leads to busy mounts when preparing a cache image below this path because /var/cache/kiwi is bind mounted during preparation of a cache. Thus the default cache location is set to /var/cache/kiwi-images
Thu May 7 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed error message on --init-cache If the given cache dir does not exist display a proper error message
Tue May 5 14:00:00 2015 bgeukenAATTsuse.de - Fix lvm volume regex to allow volume names that are just have a forbidden name as prefix
Mon May 4 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure btrfs subvolumes are listed in fstab In order to leave a rollback prepared system after first boot it\'s important to configure SUSE_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT_BOOTING as well as add all subvolumes as single mountpoints to the fstab file
Mon May 4 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added support to filter install devices There is now a element which allows to receive a free form text evaluated as input for the bash regexp operator. Every device matching the rule is filtered out and not part of the selection list for the install targets in an oem installation process. This addresses (bnc #924436)
Mon May 4 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of fdasd on SLE12 when using fdasd on an empty disk two questions raises which needs to be answered/confirmed before kiwi can proceed to create partitions (bnc #928550)
Fri May 1 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.42 released
Thu Apr 30 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of custom kernel options for recovery custom kernel paratmers are stored in $kiwi_cmdline inside of the boot code. The information was not used for the recovery grub config. Therefore a difference in kernel boot options for standard boot and for recovery boot could happen which should not be the case
Thu Apr 30 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed boot_efilabel for elilo compat mode The efi boot label should match the title set in the bootloader menu. This is should be set to kiwi_oemtitle
Wed Apr 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.41 released
Wed Apr 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Run lvcreate with --noudevsync This allows to build LVM images in container systems which doesn\'t have udev running
Wed Apr 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update SLE12 JeOS description The new pattern system requires libsolv >= 0.6.5 to be installed on the building host. Thus solve patterns as package to stay compatible with older build host systems
Wed Apr 29 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added dice buildsystem config to x86 JeOS images
Wed Apr 29 14:00:00 2015 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - The linuxefi and initrdefi commands only exists on x86 and x86_64. Write the grub config setting for linuxefi and initrdefi only on these platforms, for all others the appropriate command is linux and initrd.
Fri Apr 24 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed useless use of greediness modifier \'+\' in regex
Thu Apr 23 14:00:00 2015 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - Builder infrastructure + Integrate ext * file system image builds into the \"builder\" infrastructure to simplify and improve the structure of image builds
Thu Apr 23 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Style changes for mount dependency checker
* Use here documents to construct messages
* Use pstree to show sub tree of processes
* Use perl builtin methods to read from proc
Wed Apr 22 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed product name in SLE12 s390 JeOS
Wed Apr 22 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Better description for pattern use in 13.2 JeOS
Wed Apr 22 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fetch errno($!) directly after call Reading of $! later will not provide the information
Wed Apr 22 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added __checkMountDependencies runtime check The check looks for processes which holds onto mounts created by a previos kiwi run. In such a condition kiwi is not able to release its own mount table and shows information about the processes which keeps these mount points busy. We still don\'t understand why there could be non kiwi related processes holding onto mounts kiwi has created during its run but kiwi should provide a way to tell this information to the user and stop if the environment is still tainted by such processes (bnc #895204)
Tue Apr 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added __checkDeprecatedFilesystem runtime check The use of clicfs is deprecated, a hint to use overlayfs if possible is shown as a warning message to the user
Tue Apr 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Delete kernel/adaptec-firmware from boot images For s390 there are no such packages in the SLE12 code base
Tue Apr 21 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.40 released
Tue Apr 21 14:00:00 2015 adrianAATTsuse.de - remove call to addAppdata again merge error
Mon Apr 20 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.39 released
Mon Apr 20 14:00:00 2015 adrianAATTsuse.de - prefer packages by priority of repositories, not by architectures.
Mon Apr 20 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Ensure recovery entry is appended for elilo compat elilo does not support adding custom entries to the written grub configuration. Thus we have to make sure the recovery entry doesn\'t get lost after a recovery run. Therefore the menu entry is added as part of the installBootloader function because this function is called after a recovery run while the installBootloaderRecovery functions are only called once at initialization time of the recovery partition
Mon Apr 20 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed missing boot/efi mount path after recovery In recovery/repair mode the boot/efi path is not umounted correctly when init/systemd is started. Both paths /boot and /boot/efi are part of the fstab and if boot/efi is already mounted when fstab is processed the mount of /boot will cover and therefore hide the contents of boot/efi
Fri Apr 17 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.38 released
Thu Apr 16 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"Added gptfdisk to SLE11 oemboot descriptions\" This reverts commit 8a49b0d75f583cc4f18fdb57fb36722777e71725.
Wed Apr 15 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added elilo compat mode to recovery boot setup In normal grub2 mode the recovery entry is just written as a custom menu entry and processed by grub2-mkconfig. However if the elilo compat mode is in use on SLES11 with efi the recovery menu entry must be written to the elilo generated grub.cfg
Wed Apr 15 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Disable uuid support in createFilesystem for btrfs This will be changed once SLES11 SP4 is out to have a compatible version out until then
* Added root.uuid / boot.uuid information to the recovery The UUID is used on restore to create the filesystem with the same UUID as before. This also allows to use the same efi binary as before and avoids the hack of copy over a standard efi binary
* Allow createFilesystem to receive an optional UUID parameter In order to set the UUID for xfs the xfs_admin tool has been set to be a persistent part of the boot image(initrd)
* Better messages for bootloader setup. Distinguish between boot loader setup for recovery and root system
* Fixed description setup in elilo.conf for SLE11 efi compat mode. If kiwi_oemtitle is not set use kiwi_displayname to avoid an empty title in the boot menu
* partition size of install target must be greater than the size of the image partition, equal the size is not enough
* change error message to exactly point to the partinfo file which contains the information how the requested target partitions must look like
* change the partinfo file to include the gpt partition code as gdisk knows it in case of a GPT
Thu Apr 9 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed partedGetPartitionID In case of a GPT parted has no information about a partition id Therefore we mapped the id to the known msdos values according to the name kiwi defines for the partition. Any GPT specific partition got the same id \'ee\' which results in not being able to distinguish them. However for the partition based install in EFI mode it\'s required to identify any potential target install partition by an id. Therefore partedGetPartitionID will return the sgdisk partition code and will only map to the old legacy values if sgdisk is not available
Thu Apr 9 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Update spec file make the gptfdisk package a requirement for distros which provides it
Thu Apr 9 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed setup of GPT partition table kiwi uses parted to create partition tables. In case of GPT a linux default partition table has a guid set which points to a Microsoft base partition. This is wrong and I did not find a way to correct this with parted. Therefore the sgdisk utility will be used to correct the partition code so that we can at least see the right values when using sgdisk
Wed Apr 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Changed validation in OEM partition install mode In partition based install kiwi checks if the current partitions can be used for installation. Part of the validation was to check if a filesystem signature could be found. If yes the partition was not offered for installation. However this test is too strict because in order to remove the filesystem signature the filesystem must be actively destroyed. It\'s better to check for the filesystem UUID instead. In order to allow the installer to use the partition one can clear the uuid with the appropriate filesystem utility e.g e2fstune -U clear for extX based filesystems and that will not destroy the filesystem integrity. This means an active system can be prepared for install by clearing the uuid instead of self destructing it
Wed Apr 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.35 released
Wed Apr 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Delete rt kernel profile for SLE11 kernel-rt is not always available to customers and the realtime kernel can be selected via the custom kernel profile if needed
Wed Apr 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Implement support for importing gce license If gcelicense is specified the information is included into the gce format tarball
Wed Apr 8 14:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Added gcelicense attribute in section The gcelicense attribute receives a free form text information which is used to create a manifest file in the gce image format. The gce image format is Google\'s expected Compute Engine image format for uploading and registering an OS image in GCE
Tue Mar 24 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Setup kernel symlinks in sle11 elilo compat mode
Tue Mar 24 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Use filesystem UUID to identify the recovery

Mon Mar 23 13:00:00 2015 dimstarAATTopensuse.org - Complete KIWI\'s appdata handlling removal Commit f4b7df2 removed the general handling, but missed a reference in KIWICollect.pm
Thu Mar 19 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.33 released
Wed Mar 18 13:00:00 2015 dvaleevAATTsuse.com - Changes to instsource requirements In order to make syslinux requirement conditional we need to build kiwi-instsource arch specific package. This commit is needed because we can\'t Require kiwi-isoboot in Factory anymore since we started to build PowerPC in Rings Signed-off-by: Dinar Valeev
Wed Mar 18 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.32 released
Wed Mar 18 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed service setup for lxc containers No chroot required to for relinking services
Wed Mar 18 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed contents of lxc configuration Use autodev and disable kmsg. In addition rework the way systemd services gets disabled and update the list of systemd services not allowed to run in a container. This fixes (bnc #920692)
Wed Mar 18 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Follow up fix for variable import errors
Tue Mar 17 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Ignore variable import syntax errors In case of malformed shell syntax a message on eval of the expression is printed to the log. Having them twice is not needed
Tue Mar 17 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Deleted createOriginSnapshot In combination with btrfs this function created an origin snapshot prior to the first boot. This conflicts with the SUSE built in snapshot setup used by snapper.
Tue Mar 17 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of volume variables in profile env Instead of evaluating the variable to get their content we directly parse the value. This allows to have key values including special characters normally not allowed in shell variable names like the dot(\'.\'). volumes names like \'.snapshot\' will become possible
Tue Mar 17 13:00:00 2015 dimstarAATTopensuse.org - Remove KIWI\'s appdata handling The format is just too complex to be handled in this symlistic way. Appdata.xml (a subset of Appstream) evolved and changed for example from \"applications\" to \"components\"; now, some packages export one type, other packages export the other type. Merging them without normalising is resulting in a structure like: [...]
[...]
whereas \'components\' is no valid child of applications per spec (neither is application a valid child of components). Hence: if KIWI ought to do that proper, the full format must be understood, analysed, normalised and merged. for openSUSE, KIWI now uses appstream-builder, which is created in close relationship with the AppStream metadata in mind. Having this code still in KIWI results in the builder producing valid appdata.xml.gz PLUS an uncompressed appdata.xml (~18MB) to be part of the repository metadata (thus slowing repo refresh down a lot).
Tue Mar 17 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed restoreBtrfsSubVolumes if a subvolume for e.g /var/crash should be restored, kiwi failed because the /var path did not exist. As a workaround people could add /var as a volume but if only /var/crash should be a volume and not /var there was no way to do it. This commit fixed it in a way that kiwi checks if the path to the volume exists and if not it is created prior to the restore of the subvolume

Wed Mar 4 13:00:00 2015 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - Fix consistency check for LXC builds + Prior to the emergence of systemd the lxc package provided a special init script, lxc-init. This was necessary as SysV-init was not container aware. systemd is container aware, thus including systemd as the init system is sufficient.

Mon Feb 23 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed potential link attack security issue kiwi statically creates a tmp executable in /dev/shm. Apart from the fact that it\'s the wrong place in the filesystem to do this kiwi should use a correctly created tmpfile. This Fixes #444
Mon Feb 23 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed zero block analyser If all free blocks in a filesystem contain a zero the compression result of the later image is better compared to if there is any random junk in it. In order to have all free blocks set to a zero byte kiwi used the dd + rm method which had the disadvantage of destroying the sparseness of the image file. Because of that the method was applied only if the image was built from a real disk device which did not allow us to strip away a sparse image from anyways. However this is not very flexible because: 1. In most cases an image is built from a loop device mapped against a sparse file. Thus the method is not called most of the time 2. With filesystems using more complex internal structures like xfs btrfs, zfs and friends there is not much difference in the compression results, but the time to create a huge empty file which is removed later is signifcantly recognized Thus this change deletes the old way of zero out free blocks and uses a tool to do the job for us. For extX based filesystems the zerofree utility exists and is used if installed. For other filesystems I\'m not aware of a tool and thus we don\'t handle them at the moment. If there is tool available kiwi print a warning message

Fri Jan 30 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed callPartitioner Instead of making the decision for the correct partition tool by the name of the device use a method which knows better about the type of the storage device. This applies to s390 only were a dasd device could be a real dasd with 4k blocksize or an emulated dasd with 512byte blocksize. In the first case fdasd is used and in the other case parted must be used. The decision for the tool is now based on the result if isDASDDevice() which returns false for emulated dasd devices because we only distinguish a different handling if the blocksize of the device is _not_ 512byte
Fri Jan 30 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed critic testing via perlcritic perlcritic on 13.2 reports a module to not end with a true value which is wrong and older versions of perlcritic do not complain about the same code. As I don\'t want to dig into what perlcritic does I decided to move the module in question to be not level 4 clean
Fri Jan 30 13:00:00 2015 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed handling of zipl options For some reason it was not possible to provide the information as commandline arguments. Thus we wrote it into the menu section. In addition the verbose zipl installation information is now part of the kiwi build log file

Only if the displayname was not set the filename was correct because in that case the displayname and the diskname are the same. If a custom displayname is set the splitfile name was wrong and the read-write data was not included to the image In addition this patch uses the kiwi.buildinfo file to check for the image type instead of taking weird assumptions based on file names

Sat Nov 22 13:00:00 2014 matweyAATTsai.msu.ru - Activate new swap after repartitioning - Activate new swap after repartitioning - Activate new swap after repartitioning
Fri Nov 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.6 released
Fri Nov 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed Makefile clean target make sure all autogenerated data is wiped on clean make sure clean target is called on build of package
Fri Nov 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.5 released
Fri Nov 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Allow to run kiwi --describe from git checkout
Fri Nov 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed typo in 13.2 os release matcher
Fri Nov 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Support kiwi --describe for openSUSE 13.2 analysing and cloning of 13.2 systems added
Thu Nov 20 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added fribidi and fbiterm to kiwi-media-requires package Unfortunately these two packages are not on the openSUSE 13.2 DVD. But kiwi uses fbiterm in the boot images. Thus users have to add the online repo in order to build. For 13.2 it\'s too late but with this change I hope the two packages will be placed on the DVD again
Tue Nov 18 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Cleanup use of installBootLoader Instead of building device nodes out of the partition id\'s hash use the already existing device map information. That eliminates some unneeded logic as well as two helper methods used to find the right place for the device when only the partition id is known
Mon Nov 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed suseStripKernel for updates/ modules If the dependency checker finds a dependency to a module in the updates or weak-updates directory the move of the module will fail because kiwi always uses updates/weak-updates modules and has moved them already. The dependency code however creates a new updates/weak-updates directory for the affected module and that causes a conflict when the original updates/weak-updates are moved back to the final place. In the end the result is that no updates/weak-updates module are present in the initrd
Mon Nov 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Better error message in pxeSetupDownloadServer Be more descriptive if the PXE download server can\'t be found. In addition cleanup suse/rhel-dump to call pxeSetupDownloadServer instead of duplicating the code
Mon Nov 17 13:00:00 2014 schwabAATTsuse.de - Don\'t remove kernel and initrd in KIWIMiniIsoPlugin
Mon Nov 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure drivers/virtio is part of netboot initrd This allows to use the virtio network from qemu if started with the virtio-net-pci driver
Mon Nov 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added 12.2 to the cleanup list in the spec file
Mon Nov 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - fix bashism in post script Use a simple string list in the spec file to walk through the list of distribution names in order to cleanup old ones Original patch by: Led
Thu Nov 13 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.4 released
Thu Nov 13 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed and cleanup unit test processing When running the unit tests the class KIWILog is overwritten in a way that a global kiwi logger is created from Common::ktLog but there is no declaration which really overwrites the KIWILog package to be a Common::ktLog. This patch fixes this and makes unit testing work in travis again. In addition methods from Common::ktLog no longer present in KIWILog were removed too
Wed Nov 12 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed result bundler for vhd-fixed format There is a small inconsistency between the schema format setup and the extension used in the result file. The schema wants format=\"vhd-fixed\" and the file is written as file.vhdfixed
Wed Nov 12 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.3 released
Wed Nov 12 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Compress install PXE tarball using XZ Instead of tar\'s -z we use now -J for xz compression and also changed the output name to *.install.tar.xz in order to allow the buildservice to match this file as a result
Wed Nov 12 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.02.2 released
Wed Nov 12 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation, build for factory version

Tue Nov 11 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Run Travis checks only for master
Tue Nov 11 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"Update .travis.yml, run clean target before test\" This reverts commit 67b5d1880ef36b4ded9879ca4ba07dea7f3293f6.
Tue Nov 11 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update .travis.yml, run clean target before test
Tue Nov 11 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update 13.2 JeOS description added less and iproute2 packages by default
Tue Nov 11 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update 13.2 JeOS template added default network setup on lan0
Tue Nov 11 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of rpm tools rpm has removed the db related options --initdb and --rebuilddb from the master rpm command. They are only available in the rpmdb command. Thus kiwi should better search for the rpm tool chain and decide for the commands to use according to their existence
Tue Nov 11 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update source path in 13.2 JeOS image description
Wed Nov 5 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update jenkins prepare.sh test the jenkins worker needs dosfstools installed to work with efi build tests
Wed Nov 5 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"Fixed check for revision file\" This reverts commit d288c9f7b2a52f42b86023f76e0b055bcd748925. It was not the check itself which was broken it was the fact that running make test and make valid in parallel conflicts with each other
Wed Nov 5 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed make test Makefile target Don\'t remove the .revision file as part of make test because this conflicts with running make valid in parallel as done on jenkins. Only the make clean target should remove it
Wed Nov 5 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed logging of first message The file handle for the first message log was not available at the time
Wed Nov 5 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of repository alias names containing spaces All spaces are replaced by an underscore
Mon Nov 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed check for revision file make sure to create one if it does not exist and kiwi is called locally from a git checkout
Mon Nov 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed typo in suse-SLE12-JeOS, wrong indention
Mon Nov 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Delete obsolete openSUSE 12.2 based extra image templates
Mon Nov 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed instsource plugin code to be perl critic clean
Mon Nov 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed pre-commit git hook script correctly parse all existing instsource plugins and set the include path to the plugin dirs when running perlcritic
Mon Nov 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Don\'t write to an undefined file handle
Mon Nov 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Delete obsolete instsource-plugins
Sat Nov 1 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - openSUSE 13.2 is gold :-) delete obsolete openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template and boot descriptions
Thu Oct 30 13:00:00 2014 chingpangAATTgmail.com - Correct the loader type of grub2 For the UEFI machines, the loader type has to be \"grub2-efi\" to make grub2-install search the efi modules.
Thu Oct 30 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Activate efi support in suse-13.2-JeOS template
Thu Oct 30 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed git tag helper report only first tag matching current version
Mon Oct 27 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Don\'t remove libdrm from boot images
Mon Oct 27 13:00:00 2014 schwabAATTsuse.de - Set proper boot catalog in aarch64_efi
Fri Oct 24 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Don\'t call makeIsoEFIBootable for product iso\'s The required data is provided by the installation-images- package and doesn\'t need to be created. In addition the method checks for the underlaying architecture which does not work when creating product iso\'s because there the underlaying architecture does not necessarily have to match the distro architecture
Wed Oct 22 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.16 released
Wed Oct 22 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed setupDefaultFstab (bnc #900280) Instead of overwriting a potentially existing fstab file the function now adds missing entries and also checks if the source mount device really exists.
Wed Oct 22 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Use btrfs as write partition for hybrid images (bnc #900922) For hybrid live iso images there is the optional support to create a write partition for data persistency. The initial creation of the filesystem can take a long time on e.g USB sticks. The creation of a btrfs filesystem without static inode tables is much faster. Thus the switch to btrfs
Tue Oct 21 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.15 released
Tue Oct 21 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Print /var/log/boot.kiwi file on reboot exception If a reboot exception is thrown in the boot code kiwi will print the current log file contents to the console before reboot. This allows systems like public clouds to provide a verbose information about the boot process
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.14 released
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Throw exception if specified root device does not appear
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.13 released
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed grub2 setup for use with EC2
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.12 released
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Don\'t skip grub2 prefix setup for ec2|ec2hvm
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.11 released
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed grub2 xen module list Some modules available in grub2 are not available for grub2 in xen, e.g chain
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.10 released
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure to wait for the storage device if set in root=
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure correct grub2 module path is used for ec2hvm firmware Currently the grub2 module path is set correctly with firmware set to \'ec2\' but not if set to \'ec2hvm\'
Mon Oct 20 14:00:00 2014 cooloAATTsuse.de - readd lost promo dvd plugin
Fri Oct 17 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed setup of zypper repository name if no alias is specified If no alias name is given in the kiwi section, kiwi builds a name from the given source URI. If the source URI does contain credentials information appended as token after the RFC specified \'?\' sign the repo name contains this information too which results in an invalid repository name for zypper. In order to prevent this kiwi cuts off the information \'\\?. *\' from the URI and build the name from the remaining part
Thu Oct 16 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Redirect stderr from cp command so that we can catch it
Wed Oct 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.9 released
Wed Oct 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed error logging to default log file
Wed Oct 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Cleanup with regards to coding style guide
Mon Oct 13 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.8 released
Fri Oct 10 14:00:00 2014 fcastelliAATTsuse.com - Compress Docker images using XZ This results in images requiring less disk space.
Fri Oct 10 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Use -o loop for mounting read-write image Older systems (e.g RHEL 6) mount command is not able to detect a loop mount and requires the -o loop option in order to work
Fri Oct 10 14:00:00 2014 adrianAATTsuse.de - fix dependencies of s390 requires
* zipl was never an own package, it is part of s390-tools
* syslinux does not exist on SLES 12 s390
Fri Oct 10 14:00:00 2014 adrianAATTsuse.de - Also support new appdata format
Wed Oct 8 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Again Fixed use of zypper package cache Not only the addrepo command but also other ones seems to remove the pkg-cache-dir if there is no associated repo available. Thus the preserve and restore of the package cache happens now before and after all zypper repo setup related commands are called
Tue Oct 7 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.7 released
Tue Oct 7 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update dhclientImportInfo Allow the function to export DHCPSIADDR from the dhcp-server-identifier information stored in the lease file created by the dhclient call
Tue Oct 7 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure u-boot bootargs will be escaped (bnc #900007)
Mon Oct 6 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make kiwi --info thread safe
Mon Oct 6 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.6 released
Mon Oct 6 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added bundle task for GCE images
Thu Oct 2 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixup createGoogleComputeEngine no paths allowed inside the tarball, only the disk.raw they are really strict on their checks :-)
Thu Oct 2 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixup createGoogleComputeEngine There are some conventions around the naming and content of a GCE tarball. This patch hopefully addresses all of them
Thu Oct 2 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added sudo to package list for SLE12 JeOS template
Thu Oct 2 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update SLE12 JeOS template to provide a kiwi user
Thu Oct 2 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added support for format=\"gce\" This is for creating Google Compute Engine ready images to be uploaded into a bucket in the google cloud storage via gsutil
Thu Oct 2 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.5 released
Wed Oct 1 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of zypper package cache For unknown reasons zypper removes the pkg-cache-dir when calling the addrepo command. Because this is unwanted kiwi temporarly moves the current cache dir and moves it back after the addrepo call is done
Wed Oct 1 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Wed Oct 1 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation first review by the documentation department
Tue Sep 30 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.4 released
Tue Sep 30 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added support for custom boxname for vagrant images (bnc #896205) By default the name set to the vagrant .json file is the name of the image as specified in the kiwi XML description. However, in the world of https://vagrantcloud.com/, the convention for \"fully-qualified\" box names is \"ORGANIZATION/BOXNAME\" which does not apply to a standard kiwi image name. With the new boxname attribute people can now specify the name of the box to be vagrantcloud conform. e.g
Tue Sep 30 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.3 released
Tue Sep 30 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Add error message to log file if downloadFile failed
Tue Sep 30 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed uninstall make target Delete /dev/shm/lwp-download created by kiwi
Tue Sep 30 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v7.01.2 released
Tue Sep 30 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation for version 7
Tue Sep 30 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Branch created for SLE12, master open for development at version 7
Mon Sep 29 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of uninitialized value $time
Mon Sep 29 14:00:00 2014 schwabAATTsuse.de - Add support for EFI on aarch64
Fri Sep 26 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.165 released
Fri Sep 26 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure to wait for nic link up (bnc #898505)
Thu Sep 25 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed double encoded luks system (bnc #898249) when kiwi builds a disk image it can either dump a filesystem image onto a raw partition or it rsync a tree of files onto a partition which has a filesystem created on top of a subsystem or a subsystem stack like lvm, luks, etc. In kiwi this is controlled by the value of the $treeAccess variable. If treeAccess is disabled but the support for syncing a tree in the given configuration is implemented this results in duplicate preparation of the filesystem and the subsystems which results in an unbootable mess.
Thu Sep 25 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed passthrough of luks cipher (bnc #898249) kiwi passed the ciper using a shell echo command which is bad because the shell evaluates the contents of this information and might break the cipher if it contains shell meta characters. This patch fixes this by using a simple pipe stream to the cryptsetup process without invoking a shell command
Thu Sep 25 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed URI credentials setup Make sure the ?credentials=kiwiRepoCredentials flag is only added to the url if the appropriate credentials file exists
Tue Sep 23 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.164 released
Tue Sep 23 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added missing filesystem provides for the xfs filesystem (bnc #897935) With the kiwi-filesystem:xfs Provides the buildservice is able to setup a build environment including the needed tools called by kiwi when building inside this environment
Sun Sep 21 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.163 released
Sun Sep 21 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Follow up fix for max storage device wait period (bnc #897516) Hannes Reinecke suggested to increase it to 60 seconds; 30 seconds is the typical I/O timeout value, so I\'d be giving it double the time to allow error handling to complete.
Fri Sep 19 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.162 released
Fri Sep 19 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Increase max per storage device wait period to 30 sec (bnc #897516)
Fri Sep 19 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Prevent activation of a partition on non x86 systems (bnc #897507) The active flag is used by legacy BIOS systems on x86 systems. On other architectures it could cause trouble because that information is not expected
Fri Sep 19 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Eliminate use of haveBootPartition variable in the initrd code kiwi provides exact information in the partition ID\'s variables created when the image is build in setupPartIDs. The indicator if a boot partition is in use was not set correctly by the existing function. The indicator for a boot partition should be the filesystem label set to \'BOOT\' and the check if this partition is not equal to the root partition. In the repartition code the partition ID for the root partition is always defined correctly by the kiwi_RootPart variable and should not depend on any condition. That way there was no code left which requires and extra boolean haveBootPartition variable and also fixes the wrong pID assignment described in bug (bnc #897497)
Fri Sep 19 14:00:00 2014 cooloAATTsuse.de - remove media check from mini iso (bnc#895021)
Thu Sep 18 14:00:00 2014 cooloAATTsuse.de - make the mini isos reasonable size again instead of just removing the root file, remove all files actually downloaded from NET repo
Wed Sep 17 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.161 released
Wed Sep 17 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Add a post install script for kiwi The file /dev/shm/lwp-download will be removed in order to allow kiwi to create this file with the permissions it needs. The support to allow kiwi to run kiwi --info as non root user requires this cleanup step because lwp-download is created with permissions which allows root and normal users to call the script. former versions leaves a version of the script which doesn\'t allow non root users to call or change it which results in a raise condition for a non privileged --info call
Wed Sep 17 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Really fixed package update from sle11 to sle12 (bnc #893340) the man pages were moved from kiwi-doc to the main kiwi package between sle11 and sle12. Thus the main kiwi package has to set a conflicts for the kiwi-doc package in versions < 5
Wed Sep 17 14:00:00 2014 adrianAATTsuse.de - KIWICollect: handle POOL flavors as \"ftp\" flavors (bnc#896930)
Wed Sep 17 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec file by adding missing requirements; tar and psmisc
Tue Sep 16 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Allow kiwi --info to be called without root permission There is one exception though. If the repo is an iso file which needs to be loop mounted we still need root privileges to call the mount system call. In such a case kiwi will exit with a useful error message
Tue Sep 16 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.160 released
Tue Sep 16 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Improve spee of nic setup in netboot initrd (bnc #893788) With this commit the list of preferred interfaces which are either the BOOTIF interface or the list of all detected ones is used to run the dhcp discovery. The first successfully discovered interface is used to setup the default gateway and route as there can only be one
Tue Sep 16 14:00:00 2014 schwabAATTsuse.de - linuxefi only exists in grub2 on x86
Mon Sep 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed package build due to failed unit tests The unit tests failed when building on non x86 architectures because the test reference files for these architectures contained an unexpected newline at the end of the file. In addition subsequent tests should not fail which was the case because existing test tmpdirs were not correctly cleaned up
Fri Sep 12 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Use legacy bios_grub partition only on ix86 and x86_64 (bnc #896445)
Fri Sep 12 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.159 released
Fri Sep 12 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fully document virtualsize attribute of in schema
Fri Sep 12 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Move useLVM helper function into global space and explain conditions for using LVM or not in one central place
Fri Sep 12 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added runtime check for the bootpartition requirements If the use of a bootpartition is explicitly disabled and one of the filesystems btrfs, zfs or xfs are used this is only supported with the grub2 bootloader.
Thu Sep 11 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Implement preferlvm=\"true|false\" attribute for When using filesystems which provides a volume management like btrfs and zfs do, kiwi will make use of it by default. With the preferlvm attribute the user can overwrite the default and prefer LVM for volume management
Thu Sep 11 14:00:00 2014 opensuseAATTadamspiers.org - make the two vagrant box templates more consistent This makes it easier to see the differences which really matter.
Thu Sep 11 14:00:00 2014 opensuseAATTadamspiers.org - remove pointless $xmlsize assignment This assignment is pointless since $xmlsize will always get set to another value soon after.
Thu Sep 11 14:00:00 2014 adrianAATTsuse.de - do not publish appdata for source rpms
Thu Sep 11 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make suseImportBuildKey more robust (bnc #896126) Check if dumpsigs tool exist and don\'t operate on files which do not exist
Wed Sep 10 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Prevent building iso with empty loader directory

In case of legacy services a call to \"chkconfig /etc/init.d/${service} on|off\" is issued but fails because chkconfig only expects a service name and not a full path.
Sun Aug 24 14:00:00 2014 tbechtoldAATTsuse.com - Set sudoers secure_path for vagrant examples secure_path is needed to find executables under i.e. /sbin/ when vagrant uses sudo.

Wed Aug 13 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Allow to boot LVM images without extra boot partition Added new type attribute bootpartition=true|false. The value controls the creation of a boot partition for disk images and overwrites the default layout kiwi would create if this is not specified. It\'s not guaranteed that the resulting image is able to boot with regards to the underlaying bootloader capabilities Given that grub2 in a recent version is used booting LVM images using extX and btrfs filesystems will work

To prevent this the global DiskStartSector default is used if the DiskAlignment value is smaller. This behavior can be overwritten by using the parameter --disk-start-sector.
Thu Jul 31 14:00:00 2014 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - Add notset support to the test log + The KIWILog implements notset indicators. The test log needs to handle this to support testing more code - Implement file comparison support + Thus far we have encoded reference results in the test directly.

This implements support for storing reference results as files and using the reference results for comparison
Thu Jul 31 14:00:00 2014 thardeckAATTsuse.de - Set disk alignment default value to 1 MB A value of 1 MB should be fine for most SSDs and doesn\'t have any impact on regular hard disks. It can be changed with the parameter --disk-alignment.

Mon Jul 7 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Prevent initrd code to break console setup Many people using more than one active console stumbled over the problem that messages gets lost while the system is booting the first time with the kiwi initrd. The following changes fixes this:
* Setting up console by using udev\'s console_init
* Added handleSplash hook at the end of the hideSplash function and let kiwi only disable the splash if there is one active console
* There is not much value using klogconsole to set the kernel default loglevel. Delete this code and the no longer needed klogconsole tool from the kiwi initrd

Wed Jun 18 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed building of firmware=\"ec2\" image in combination with grub2 The partition table type was set to gpt in this case but that is not desired for ec2 cloud images. In addition the partition setup was incomplete to allow successful installing of grub2 without a bios_grub partition which was not created for ec2 typed firmware images
Tue Jun 17 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.118 released

* the progress information is shown by the continous output of a sub process of the calling shell. The sub-process has no access to the controlling terminal thus calling system exceptions there cause a hangup of the process at that stage. This patch fixes it by not calling exceptions and handling the result exit code of the sub-process outside

The user now only needs to place a file called custom.sync describing which files/directories should be content controlled and any subsequent call of kiwi --describe will do the job
Thu Jun 12 14:00:00 2014 adrianAATTsuse.de - do not overwrite product release number if it is set to \"0\"
Wed Jun 11 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update createCustomDataSyncScript
* the script now requires an argument which could be the kiwi generated custom.files file. if called without argument an information how to use the custom.sync script is displayed The reason why we changed from default use of custom.files to a self provided information is that on real systems many custom files and directories exists but not all of them needs to be tracked
Wed Jun 11 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.113 released
Wed Jun 11 14:00:00 2014 adrianAATTsuse.de - fix missing dependency to grub(1) for vmx and oem builds

* quote shell escape chars because the url is passed to lwp-download
* fix regexp extracting url credentials. the expression matches too much of a file path in the first ancor
* fixed cleanup of files downloaded if solvable creation out of this data has failed. Don\'t leave waste of data in this case
* For SLE12 and Factory the new pattern system is based on rpm packages. Thus the solvable metadata has changed. This commit allows to get the patterns from the repo for the old and the new pattern system

Tue Jun 3 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Write a kiwi.buildinfo file for each build The buildinfo file contains information about the build which will be used to collect user relevant image files according to the requested image type and parameters. The result of a kiwi build could contain intermediate build results which will be embedded in the final result and stay in the result directory in order to allow faster rebuilds. There will be a new kiwi post processing command which collects only the important result image files and provide them together with a build number.
Mon Jun 2 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - In preparation to support enable/disable of boot partition + remove obsolete boot_id/root_id code from grub2 codebase for grub2 we don\'t search via id, we search either by uuid or by flag file + for other bootloaders make sure boot_id is set to the root partition id if no explicit boot partition exists

Sun May 25 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Be a bit smarter in best guess of the minimum size for the boot partition if we need one. The function __getBootSize now calculates the size using some parameters to keep roughly 100MB free. This is more accurate than using a fixed size min default value. Setting a custom value for the boot partition using the bootpartsize attribute results in + Use of bootpartsize without any message if it is bigger than recommended value + Use of bootpartsize with warning if it is smaller than recommended value
Fri May 23 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.98 released

Wed May 21 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t call the rpm dump/reload if all packages are specified in the bootstrap section. In that case no rpm action happens inside the chroot. Thus it\'s not needed to dump/reload the rpm database. + It\'s not required to have the rpm db tools installed on the host - The rpm database inside the new root tree stays incompatible
Tue May 20 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.95 released

Thu May 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Don\'t use the fsmountoptions to mount the filesystems created for the installstick disk. The filesystem used to store the system image on the stick disk is different from the configured system image filesystem, thus the options does not fit.
Thu May 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.91 released
Thu May 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Instead of a symlink named box.img to the actual image file in a vagrant box, directly store the image file under the name box.img. Older versions of vagrant did not work if box.img is a symlink
Thu May 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.90 released
Wed May 14 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added rsync to suse-vagrant-box example template vagrant requires rsync to be present in a base box

Tue May 13 14:00:00 2014 fcastelliAATTsuse.com - Remove lxc package from the docker example The lxc pacakge is not required by docker images, hence it can be removed from the template shipped with the examples.
Tue May 13 14:00:00 2014 dvaleevAATTsuse.com - Don\'t generate TRANS.TBL for POWER iso It seems only POWER does TRANS.TBL generation. Let be consentive with other architectures. Signed-off-by: Dinar Valeev
Tue May 13 14:00:00 2014 adrianAATTsuse.de - drop license.tar.gz in root dir for rpm-md repos - fail when license.tar.gz misses one of the required files
* license.txt
* directory.yast license.tar.gz is still part of the rpm-md metadata directory
Tue May 13 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added support for creating vagrant boxes In order to create a vagrant box the format parameter in the image type acts as trigger to start the box creation. Vagrant boxes requires some metadata in order to allow adding the box for a specific provider. Thus the following minimal type spec is needed e.g:
The result .box file can be added to vagrant as follows vagrant box add /path/to/file.box Once added vagrant can run the box using the specified provider Please note the kiwi image for vagrant needs to provide some configuration like the existence of a user vagrant and ssh keys. All this can be achieved in a kiwi image description. For details visit: http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/boxes/base.html
Tue May 13 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Tue May 13 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Use xz instead of gzip to compress the raw disk file in an oem PXE installation tarball. xz produces smaller results compared to gzip.
Tue May 13 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added xz tool to oem boot image descriptions
* if docker is used it\'s not required to have lxc installed as part of the container

Mon May 12 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed service disablement in docker types for non systemd based distributions e.g SLE11
Fri May 9 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed creation of live iso images with flags=\"compressed\" In this mode the live setup is based on a split image type and did not allow to have a persistent data block available in the iso. This patch changed this so that you can also use the hybridpersistent=\"true\" feature when using the hybrid iso on e.g a usb stick to store new data persistently
Fri May 9 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added live iso type to SLE11 JeOS template
Thu May 8 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Looks like memtest86+ does not exist for SLE11 anymore Thus removed it from the SLE11 boot image descriptions

Thu May 8 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added compatibility fix for fetchFile function
* Instead of matching for the exact value \'uncompressed\' the function treats all values matching the expression \'^uncomp\' as a statement to indicate an uncompressed image
* install patterns with the namedCollection attribute
* make sure the desired release package is installed in the bootstrap phase to avoid the installation of this strange dummy-release package which I don\'t understand what it is good for at all
Tue May 6 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed directory check in cleanMount If no repo alias is set the repo uri is also used as name for the mount point directory. In this case the name could contain quoted characters. Perl\'s test operator can\'t deal with shell escaped directory names. Thus we check with the shell test built-in if the mount point directory exists
Mon May 5 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.82 released
Mon May 5 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation

Mon May 5 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed check for .repo file The repo path is stored quoted for use use with the shell but the perl test operator can\'t deal with shell escaped characters and failed. Thus shell\'s test built-in is used instead
Fri May 2 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.81 released
Fri May 2 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed suseService function
* Use of undefined variable $action where it should be $target

Thu May 1 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed container image name extension
* if docker is set the extension should be set to docker and not lxc
Wed Apr 30 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added support for docker image types kiwi supports creation of lxc images which are stored below var/lib/lxc/. The docker subsystem expects the image to be packed differently. Thus we added a new type: The information about the container name is optional in this case and if specified not used for docker type images
Wed Apr 30 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed typo in function name
Tue Apr 29 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.80 released

* be more verbose which device is resized
Tue Apr 29 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed typo in boot message Calling mkswap creates a swap space but does not activate it. The intention is to create the swap space thus the message should tell the user this and nothing misleading
Mon Apr 28 14:00:00 2014 adrianAATTsuse.de - extract licenses in extra media directory for SLE 12
Thu Apr 24 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.79 released
Thu Apr 24 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed value and handling for profile variable kiwi_allFreeVolume
* If a volume with size=\"all\" is specified and in addition this volume takes a custom volume name with a custom mountpoint, the variable was setup with the kiwi default volume naming schema but not with the real volume name which lead to a boot problem when kiwi could not find the volume
Thu Apr 24 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.78 released
Thu Apr 24 14:00:00 2014 thardeckAATTsuse.de - Use existing credentials name for repositories
* Don\'t add a credentials name to repositories if there is already one
Thu Apr 24 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed pxePartitionInputGeneric In case of a raid setup via pxeboot the required partition type \'fd\' is not explicitly provided in the PART line of the client config. Instead the raid information is given in an additional RAID variable. Thus the pxePartitionInputGeneric function has to set the partition type \'fd\' if the RAID variable is set too.
Wed Apr 23 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Follow up fix for partedGetPartitionID
* return if no partition label could be detected
Wed Apr 23 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make partedGetPartitionID more robust
* If we can\'t find a partition label for the disk don\'t proceed checking for a partition ID and return an unknown ID \'xx\'
Wed Apr 23 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed message displayed in __checkCorrectRootFSPermissons LSB standard does not prescribe UID and GID values
Wed Apr 23 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Use suse parted \'type\' command extension to setup swap partition type. This is done because the upstream way of setting swap type is broken in the suse parted.
Tue Apr 22 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed message displayed when the partition table is created/updated. Even in the case of creating a new partition table the message said something about repartition of the disk which is misleading. Thus the message changed to just tell the user about a partition process happening now
Tue Apr 22 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.77 released

Thu Apr 17 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Remove suseCloneRunlevel calls from EC2 and Xen guest templates. They are obsolete since sysVInit has been replaced with systemd
Thu Apr 17 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update service support functions
* remove obsolete suseCloneRunlevel and suseActivateServices
* use chkconfig instead of insserv
* enhance suseService to be called with on|off and sysVInit runlevels like chkconfig supports it. For systemd this value would be ignored
Thu Apr 17 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update baseSetRunlevel() function
* support custom systemd target names
Thu Apr 17 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Use linuxefi/initrdefi grub2 commands only for EFI secure boot

Tue Apr 15 14:00:00 2014 adrianAATTsuse.de - drop .channel files for products, generate .report files instead The approach to generate _channel file for OBS maintenance is not working, since it requires the knowledge of OBS setup internas. There we drop this here, let kiwi generate instead report files which document which files got used. We can use them for diffing results, for tracking build results in OBS and obs worker can generate _channel files with knowledge of setup internas.
Tue Apr 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure lvm2 tools stay in oemboot for RHEL
Tue Apr 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Apply sleep for a while to wait for wwids to other architectures boot code
Tue Apr 15 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - sleep for a while after multipathd and udev events are processed. it seems the data in /etc/sysconfig is not in sync with udev
* don\'t log message to already closed file descriptor
Mon Apr 14 14:00:00 2014 thardeckAATTsuse.de - Removed done statement from last Kiwi message
* The Done message at the last line was confusing, especially when KIWI exited with errors. To keep consistency and since the done message wasn\'t really needed because the last message is not a task it was also removed for the success messages.
Mon Apr 14 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added __hasBootDescription runtime check Code written by Tim Hardeck. The test looks up the required boot image description according to the selected build type if no such description exists the build exit with an error telling the user which rpm package is missing on the build machine
* for each test call the corresponding runtime checker function and not the container method which always calls all of them
* added variable KIWI_NO_FS which allows to switch off runtime checks which accesses the filesystem. They can only be safely called if the filesystem environment is controlled too
Mon Apr 14 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed __hasBootLoaderTools() runtime check to check for the bootloader tool if \'grub\' is selected
Mon Apr 14 14:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Apply /etc/multipath directory exists when starting multipathd also to other architectures boot code

In case of any other package manager the default repository type rpm-md is used. An information about the selected type is printed if no type is explicitly set In a sequence of repositories added via commandline arguments using --add-repotype still requires to specify the type for all given repositories in order to be able to correctly assign the type to the added repository in the same way as this is required for alias and priority information

Wed Mar 12 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Cleanup/Improve usage output If you just call kiwi without any arguments you got the long usage list which is not very helpful. Thus this has changed to print a message what you could do next including a list of currently available templates

Tue Mar 4 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of uninitialized value $logdata If there is an undefined value passed as log data we should no do anything with it. In addition fixed a typo for the subsequent error message, missing newline
Tue Mar 4 13:00:00 2014 dvaleevAATTsuse.com - GRUB2 binary got renamed to fit HFS 8.3 We should have grub2 binary compatible with HFS\'s 8.3 format Signed-off-by: Dinar Valeev

Mon Mar 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.43 released
Mon Mar 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"- the controller type \'scsi\' does not exist for VMware\" This reverts commit 78077282df830e1f7d7b4e47f0953246186cca15 I did something stupid here and changed the key name of the config file which makes the config file invalid
Mon Mar 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make git a recommended package in the spec file Modularize analyser code to work with and without git
Mon Mar 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed suseGFXBoot graphics boot setup with gfxboot-devel Because of the change which uses isolinux as loader for install ISO media and not the configured disk bootloader as eltorito alternative loader we need both boot graphics formats available the one for isolinux as well as the one for the selected system bootloader. The code in suseGFXBoot reflects this for the boot graphics provided by packages but not if the user provides a custom tarball for use with gfxboot-devel
Mon Mar 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed misleading function names getInstallFailsafe -> getInstallProvideFailsafe setInstallFailsafe -> setInstallProvideFailsafe This is all about if a failsafe menu entry should be provided to the image boot configuration or not. Thus the function names should describe this and not lead to the assumption that one can select the failsafe entry from the boot menu which is actually done by the installboot=\"failsafe-install\" attribute
Mon Mar 3 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - the controller type \'scsi\' does not exist for VMware lsilogic and buslogic define scsi controllers. Thus use lsilogic as the default scsi controller

Thu Feb 27 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed createS390CDLoader() for s390 media creator The s390 loader file cd.ikr was created on demand but the new installation-images packages provide this file. Thus there is no reason to create it if it already exists
Thu Feb 27 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed custom files analyser More intuitive and not only directory based level 1 search in / Fix for rpm directory strip, expression would match e.g /emil in the same way as /emil1 which is wrong

Thu Feb 27 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec file kiwi-tools should specify the %{_defaultdocdir}/kiwi as a directory entry otherwise we might end up with the directory not belonging to any package but files inside do belong to a package
Thu Feb 27 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed setupNetworkWicked Use bin/wickedd-dhcp4 instead of the mainstream wicked program wicked relies on dbus which is not helpful within an initrd environment. Fortunately there is the wickedd-dhcp4 helper which just asks for the lease from the DHCP. The setup of the network interface and routing is then done by setupNetworkWicked but will change in the future if wicked becomes more mature
Wed Feb 26 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure ip command is part of the oem and netboot image descriptions starting with openSUSE 13.2 and SLE12. Instead ifconfig is no longer part of these descriptions

Tue Feb 25 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Rename misleading to section Something like was weird
Tue Feb 25 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec file recommends db45-utils and db48-utils should be recommended in a row
Tue Feb 25 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update list of recommended packages in spec file Problem here is that by default SUSE installs with recommended packages which in case of kiwi will cause a huge workload because e.g the recommended jing package pulls the entire java stack. Because of that the list of recommends has been reduced
Tue Feb 25 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added virt-utils requires for kiwi-instsource package qemu-img is used for building products (bnc #865242)

Mon Feb 24 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Mon Feb 24 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update NBD documentation (bnc #865237) NBD has changed their negotiation style from port to name based
Mon Feb 24 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed nbd-client invocation in netboot (bnc #865237) nbd has changed it\'s negotiation style from port based server to name based exports. Thus the client has to connect to an export name and not a port the server listens to Example NBD server config: [generic] user = root group = root [export1] exportname = /some/file Example NBD localhost test: nbd-server -C config-file nbd-client -N export1 localhost /dev/nbd0
Sun Feb 23 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - make sure overlayfs and ext4 are part of the netboot boot image descriptions for 13.1/13.2 SLED12/SLES12 (bnc #865229)
Sun Feb 23 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Follow up patch for commit (bnc #865229) The copy of the initrd to /run/initramfs has to skip the special paths used for overlay filesystems
Sat Feb 22 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Follow up patch for last commit (bnc #865229) Call resetBootBind only if NETBOOT_ONLY is _not_ set
Sat Feb 22 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed setupBootPartitionPXE in a NFSROOT setup the variable imageRootDevice is not empty but does not point to a real local device, it points to an nfs root mountpoint. Thus we need to leave the function early because setting up a boot partition doesn\'t make any sense (bnc #865229)
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed kiwi --info
* if there are solver problems, display the error information
* added object destructor to cleanup repo loop mounts
* exit with error if requested information can\'t be delivered
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.37 released
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed creation of custom.files
* target directory was not set correctly
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.36 released
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec file requires and recommends
* lxc doesn\'t need to be recommended because the plain building task does not require lxc to be around
* clicfs has a successor with overlayfs and should no longer be recommended
* lvm2, squashfs and master-boot-code are relevant requires for building disk based images. Thus they are needed along with the kiwi-desc-vmx|oemboot sub-packages but not with the kiwi base package
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Compatibility fix for the \'git init\' call older versions of git do not accept a directory as parameter like the version we have in SLE11
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.35 released
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed writeXML
* The creation of the package items should use the native XML methods and not directly hook into the internal data structure
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Removed code reducing a package list to the minimum required solver list. The result is correct but it takes long if many packages are installed and the result is not uniq
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.34 released
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed creation of kiwi template description in kiwi --describe
* use a fixed bootstrap section as default to avoid solver problems when building a new system from scratch
* add analysed packages and patterns to the image section and not to bootstrap so that they will be installed by the native installer inside the chroot
* instead of adding items to a delete section add them as ignore this will make use of the zypper al feature and is the better approach
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed capability check for old satsolver perl binding
Fri Feb 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.33 released

Tue Feb 18 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed calculation of rest items on a leaf
Tue Feb 18 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Flag hidden directories as \'hidden-directory\', hidden file as \'hidden-file\' and a file in a hidden directory as \'file-in-hidden-path\'
Tue Feb 18 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make max_child an argument to createCustomDataForType Set max_child to 5 items for the big text files view but don\'t set a limit for binaries and modified files
Tue Feb 18 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added wicked as package for SLE12 JeOS
Tue Feb 18 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed report page, not all views got a hyper link
Tue Feb 18 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Changed the way how custom files are populated in kiwi --describe
* Formerly this was done by creating a hard linked list below a directory called custom/ But this has bad effects e.g on programs checking how many hardlinks exist on a config file like it is done by e.g postfix. Thus we now store a file custom.files instead of an entire tree containing all custom files as input to an auto generated rsync script custom.sync On the report page the script is described and the user can now either sync all of its custom files which is in most cases not wanted or adapt the custom.files prio to the sync. Later there might also be a more convenient way to fiddle with custom.files
Tue Feb 18 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Stop D3 displayed items at max_child = 5 and display the information how many more items exists
Mon Feb 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure to canonical encode the perl hash to json
Mon Feb 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed typos in analyser code
* git user.email instead if user.mail
* don\'t forgot to close open file descriptor
Mon Feb 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure analysis report page builds the menu in the correct sort order
Mon Feb 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure RPM modified files get their own D3 report and land as custom files in the custom directory
Mon Feb 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed setup of git repo for analysis report
* transaction commit was not done after successful analysis
* git user and email were missing
Mon Feb 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added warning message if no repos are configured on the analysed machine when using kiwi -describe
Mon Feb 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of uninitialized values in analyser code
Mon Feb 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added SLE12 as target for the kiwi system analyser

Fri Feb 14 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.31 released
Fri Feb 14 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed call of distro initrd tool
* don\'t rely on run-init helper program, does not exist with dracut and therefore not on SLE12 or RHEL
* add generic setupInitrd function which checks for either dracut or mkinitrd and prefers dracut if present
Fri Feb 14 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fix suse-SLE12-JeOS description to work fur current Alpha Release
* Patterns are broken at the moment. They contain packages not part of SLE12 at the moment, e.g yast2-mouse. Thus comment out use of base pattern for the moment
* There are no SLES12 branding packages available. Thus comment out grub2 and plymouth branding
Thu Feb 13 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Improve searching for custom files Make the code more readable, also skip proc/devpts/sysfs filesystems Along with that search in junks and make sure the xargs limit is not exceeded. Also reduce the list of searched directories with regards to the recursive search done by find
Wed Feb 12 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed use of config-yast-autoyast.xml If this file is present in the kiwi configuration directory, kiwi setup an environment which activates the call of autoyast on first boot. The file install.inf controlls this environment. With this patch the parameter \'Textmode\' will be set to \'0\' which activates the start of yast on a X-Server and falls back to ncurses mode if no X-Server can be started
Wed Feb 12 13:00:00 2014 dvaleevAATTsuse.com - Bless grub2 binary for pmac Signed-off-by: Dinar Valeev
Tue Feb 11 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure xfs_db is not deleted from initrd

Fri Feb 7 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.26 released
Fri Feb 7 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Moved KIWIIsoLinux-AppleFileMapping.txt to metadata directory In addition change the prefix to .map

Wed Feb 5 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added preCallInit hook call to netboot boot image descriptions This hook already existed in oem and vmx boot images and was still not added to netboot
Tue Feb 4 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added __checkYaSTenvironment() runtime check With this check kiwi searches the given package list for entries starting with \'yast2\' in order to make sure the user has at least added one yast client module if either the use of autoyast or the yast2 firstboot service was requested as part of the image description. It has turned out that people using autoyast in kiwi often forget to add the required YaST client packages. This check cannot make sure that the autoyast profile works correctly, it also does not know which client packages are required but it at least gives a hint if no yast stack is installed
Tue Feb 4 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed JeOS image descriptions Added a function suseRemoveYaST which removes the yast packages if they are not needed by e.g autoyast or firstboot service. Replaced the unconditional remove of yast packages in all JeOS config.sh scripts by the new function
Tue Feb 4 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Implementation of new analyser code. Refactor the existing code to run faster and removed unused analyser code. In addition some tasks are done by shell scripts with regards to be able to use the same code in the Alfred project
Fri Jan 31 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t limit suseInsertService to .service suffix for systemd
* The service file is now searched in several directories and as suffix .system and .mount is allowed
Fri Jan 31 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.25 released
Fri Jan 31 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupNetwork() function in order to assign a network interface according to the BOOTIF MAC address information kiwi searches through a list of mac addresses and if found assigns the appropriate interface. This search was broken because the MAC from BOOTIF is lowercase whereas the mac list contains upper case data. Thus the mac list data is turned into lowercase to allow a correct matching
Fri Jan 31 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Make sure image is filled with random data prior to the creation of a luksFormat on it
Fri Jan 31 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added __hasBootLoaderTools runtime check With this check we test if the tool chain to install the requested bootloader is installed on the image build machine
Fri Jan 31 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - added type attribute This attribute allows to select a specific set of options passed to the cryptsetup call in order to create a consistent luks format supported by the capabilities of the selected distribution. With this commit luksOS=\"sle11\" will be supported
Fri Jan 31 13:00:00 2014 Kanstantsin_ShautsouAATTepam.com - Added fedora deps.
Thu Jan 30 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.24 released
Wed Jan 29 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - KIWIAnalyseTemplate
* use single quotes for URL and Alias when setting up repos in the auto generated config.sh template. This is needed if the URL uses special characters which are evaluated in the shell
Tue Jan 28 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - KIWIAnalyseManagedSoftware
* added analyser for packages to become deleted. when inspecting the system the code now also compares the result of the solved required packages list with the currently installed packages. packages required by the solver but not installed are treated as unwanted and put into a delete typed packages section
Tue Jan 28 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Remove desktop profile from SLE12 boot image descriptions (bnc #860792)
* SLES12 will not provide a kernel-desktop package
Tue Jan 28 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed volume setup
* make sure non existing mount point directories are created
* allow the volume name .snapshot(s) to be a valid name
Tue Jan 28 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added __checkHaveTypeToBuild runtime check With this check the presence and selection of a build type is checked
Tue Jan 28 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added __checkCorrectRootFSPermissons runtime check With this check kiwi validates the consistency of the created unpacked root tree while calling the create step. Consistency means a number of LSB toplevel directories is checked for their correct root/root owner and group name. Recently people using NFS or ZFS as image target directory ran into the problem that the filesystem stores files under the nobody user identity even if the caller was root. The result is a completely broken system which should be prevented by this runtime check
Mon Jan 27 13:00:00 2014 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - generate \"scsi\" as the device type prefix for all controllers except for ide in the .vmx file
Mon Jan 27 13:00:00 2014 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - support a boottimeout value of 0 + at present we checked for boottimeout value to evaluate to true, but in Perl the string \"0\" evaluates to false although the string is not empty, thus the truth test failed an we used the default of 10
Fri Jan 24 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.23 released
Fri Jan 24 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed GRUB_TIMEOUT setup in etc/default/grub the kiwi boot code did not hand over the value from the XML space to the appropriate grub config file so that grub2-mkconfig did not incorporate the value
Fri Jan 24 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed invocation of oemboot::postImageDump hook script The hook should be called in any case no matter which other oem install options are defined
Fri Jan 24 13:00:00 2014 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - ec2 example for 13.1 + forgot to commit this with the doc changes in 87b49253440eda

Thu Jan 23 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec, starting with openSUSE 12.1 libsolv is used
Thu Jan 23 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec file, the perl requirement should not be strictly set on a specific perl version, >= the distro version is more accurate
Thu Jan 23 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec file, db45-utils should be a generic recommendation
Thu Jan 23 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec file, squashfs exists on all supported versions no suse_version check needed anymore
Thu Jan 23 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec file, clicfs is not a requirement
Thu Jan 23 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added libsolv support to KIWISatSolver The class supports libsatsolver and libsolv, if libsolv is present it is preferred because it\'s the successor of libsatsolver
Wed Jan 22 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - restructure KIWISatSolver class In preparation to support libsolv the satsolver class has been redesigned to work with both the libsatsolver and the libsolv implementations. Support for libsolv will follow soon
Wed Jan 22 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of system installed solvables in KIWIAnalyseManagedSoftware
* instead of reading all existing solv files in /var/cache/zypp we only use those which are enabled in the zypper repo list
Wed Jan 22 13:00:00 2014 adrianAATTsuse.de - add new mediastyles openSUSE 13.2 and SLE 12 to support handling of cpeid tags

* accidentally committed an attribute change which was only meant to test a runtime check
Wed Jan 22 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - some changes to the arm suse-13.2-JeOS template and code
* currently suse-13.2-JeOS contains only a profile for raspberry
* the vboot support uses no gpt if the berryboot loader is set
* vboot + berryboot creates a boot setup which let the standard raspberry loader chainload our uboot which then loads the kernel and initrd from a linux ext2 second partition
Wed Jan 22 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
* updates EC2 chapter, kiwi uses disk images instead of flat filesystem images now to support EC2
Wed Jan 22 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed docbook syntax for changes recently done in kiwi-doc-ec2.xml
Wed Jan 22 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed KIWISatSolver to work with new solvables Unfortunately I was told that the current solver bindings provided with the perl-satsolver package will no longer be maintained. Instead there will be a new lib and package called libsolv. kiwi needs to adapt to the bindings for libsolv in order to stay compatible with the solver results of the zypper package manager. At the moment the problem of the new \"self-conflict\" feature could be solved by setting set_allow_self_conflicts in the old satsolver library, which is what this patch does. For the future we need to support libsolv though
Tue Jan 21 13:00:00 2014 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - final touches for EC2 changes + let kiwi add root= to the kernel command line for EC2 images this is needed to get the drivers to load properly + consider installfailsafe setting for grub vmx images
Tue Jan 21 13:00:00 2014 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - update the documentation for the EC2 image build + document new commands to use for uploading images aws-cli vs ec2- * commands + changes due to the new way of building images - we no longer create the bundle in kiwi _ adjust for removed XML elements - update the examples to reflect the new type element setup for EC2
Tue Jan 21 13:00:00 2014 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix spelling EC2 not Ec2
Tue Jan 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix for KIWIGlobals::mount() method let the check for disk or filesystem also work if blkid does not support PTTYPE detection. In this case we assume a disk if we don\'t get any blkid information. Older versions of blkid don\'t support partition table type detection
Tue Jan 21 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed vmx type definition for EC2 usage in all templates
* use ec2 and ec2k boot and kernel profiles

Mon Jan 20 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed typo, missing result flag
Mon Jan 20 13:00:00 2014 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - Change the way we create an EC2 image + Previously we created an EC2 image as a flat filesystem image this requred some special codeing and we ended up calling mkinitrd from within kiwi. As mkinitrd evolved to require a live root filesystem and with the impending move to dracut we need to start using a kiwi generated initrd. Therefore, EC2 image will now be created as disk images just like other vmx images. We also drop the use of the external ec2-ami-tools. Creating abundle is relatively easy and this functionality requires people to add thei EC2 credentials to the config file. That makes it easy to accidentally share private information. + Remove XML elemnts ec2config and its children ec2accountnr, ec2certfile, ec2privatekeyfile, ec2region + Introduce \"ec2\" as a firmware option we need this to set the partition table to be gpt instead of msdos + Print an error message for format=\"ec2\" during XML validation we maintain format=\"ec2\" in the schema for now to allow us to generate a more sensible error message than the parser would. This is an incompatible schema change + Remove EC2 region check in Validator + Remove KIWIEC2Region.txt + Update unit tests + Properly pass the boottimeout setting to the initrd config + Remove the XMLEC2Data object and its unit tests + Remove special code for EC2 initrd creation calling mkinitrd
Mon Jan 20 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed ec2 kernel profile for 13.1/13.2 and SLE11/12 the required xen drivers were not added when using ec2 profile the xen package must not be installed when using ec2 profile
Mon Jan 20 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - added ec2Flavour profile to create EC2 VMX disk image types along with this change the examples using format=\"ec2\" were adapted to disk layout instead of flat (filesystem) layout too
Mon Jan 20 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed spec file Provide a better and more detailed description about the use and scope of the kiwi-tools sub-package

Fri Jan 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Changed SLES/SLED boot image descriptions to install all packages in one host zypper controlled bootstrap step. This allows using these descriptions also with older SLES products which provides a not supported zypper version
Fri Jan 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - fixed misleading error message when mapping the kernel file name to a common name. If a file with this name alredy exists we print an error but there is no error.
Fri Jan 17 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update template/armv7l/suse-13.2-JeOS

Thu Jan 16 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Update arm JeOS image descriptions
Wed Jan 15 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed labels configured in isolinux.msg The isolinux.msg is the text file displayed if no graphics theme could be displayed in the isolinux bootloader. In that message file the label \"Boot from Hard Disk\" was missing
Wed Jan 15 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - KIWIManagerZypper, allow package locks Using an ignore statement in the section like this did not had an effect because kiwi did not set a zypper add lock on the specified items. This patch now takes care for the ignore setup and allows to prevent the installation of packages even if zypper would have selected them. If a hard required package e.g glibc is set to become ignored this of course will cause a non solvable conflict and the process exits with an error
Wed Jan 15 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added install ISO compatibility link for non standard EFI firmware EFI/Boot -> EFI/BOOT
Wed Jan 15 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Fixed grub2 prefix setup in grub.cfg. if $root is changed by a search it\'s important to update the prefix accordingly - Fixed grub2-bios-setup call If the install disk is loop mounted while calling grub2-bios-setup the call fails the install command can\'t deal with disk devices mapped in /dev/mapper
Wed Jan 15 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - KIWIImageFormat fixed use of qemu-img adapter_type option. If controller ist set to \'ide\' no adapter_type needs to be specified because ide is the default
Wed Jan 15 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Allow vmxboot to boot Xen EC2 instances In order to do that the boot device setup code now also searches for the presence of the \'root=...\' information from cmdline as it is passed when booting via EC2. If found the given device is used and the system boots in LOCAL_BOOT mode
Tue Jan 14 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - KIWIAnalyseManagedSoftware use system installed solvables from /var/cache/zypp/solv. This speedup the system inspection task (kiwi --describe)
Mon Jan 13 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.18 released
Mon Jan 13 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - diffChangedConfigFiles Be more verbose if a content diff for a modified configuration file can\'t be created

Mon Jan 13 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - KIWIAnalyseManagedSoftware
* added a post solver task which reduces the full solved list of packages into a list of only needed packages with regards to the package requirements
Mon Jan 13 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - KIWISatSolver
* The quiet parameter was not evaluted correctly and caused a wrong code workflow and broke the solver result
* Improved performance of the solver. The preparation of the pool should happen only once
Sun Jan 12 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild schema documentation
Fri Jan 10 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Removed static eth0 dhcp network setup from JeOS 13.1/13.2/SLE12 templates. Reason for the change is that network device names are no longer persistent starting with openSUSE 13.1. Thus we don\'t know about the device at build time and cannot safely provide an ifcfg- configuration.
Fri Jan 10 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - Added in code debug switch for grub2 Currently grub2 debugging is switched off by default but for getting more information while grub2 loads it\'s useful to activate the debug flag by commenting out the line in the code
Fri Jan 10 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - added gfxboot-branding-SLES package to SLES JeOS image template when building install media we want graphics :-)

Thu Jan 9 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.17 released
Thu Jan 9 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evaluation of $hybrid variable in createImageLiveCD The value is an integer not a string, thus checking for \"true\" will not cause the correct effect. This fixes the problem that isohybrid was not called even if the hybrid attribute was set in the XML description
Wed Jan 8 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - make sure mountpoint and checkproc tools stay in initrd (bnc #857824)
Tue Jan 7 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - fixed test for mounted directory in unit test ktTestCase.pm helper module
* if /kiwi is a mountpoint the script takes the wrong decision
Tue Jan 7 13:00:00 2014 msAATTsuse.de - compatibility fix for prove command on older versions of perl
* the option -f does not exist on older versions of prove

Sat Jan 4 13:00:00 2014 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - move the filesystem options into an Object + eliminate a method in the Globals singleton that is FS independent, confusing and returns data structure that gets indexed, making data access error prone + first step to moving filesystem options into XML and unifying it with existing ZFS setting in the XML + we should not have disconnected ways of dealing with filesystem options + this will help with the implementation of *Builder classes for the various filesystems - fix type in the command line test trigger - fix inconsistency when applying tune options for ext file systems for the root file system + previously it was possible that both user specified tune options and built in kiwi option were passed to tune2fs. The tune2fs manpage does not specify the behavior when the same option is specified twice
Thu Jan 2 13:00:00 2014 dmuellerAATTsuse.com - Switch to kmod-compat Otherwise you\'ll get a conflict in the build service: conflict for provider of module-init-tools needed by kiwi-desc-oemboot-requires, (provider module-init-tools is conflicted by installed kmod-compat)
Fri Dec 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.15 released

Mon Dec 16 13:00:00 2013 dvaleevAATTsuse.de - Add templates for ppc64le
Mon Dec 16 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - arm: berryboot fixes
* berryboot can\'t read directories, thus we have to keep kernel and initrd and all other files on the toplevel of the fat32
* berryboot does not pass ATAG_INITRD2 to the kernel, thus we have to set address and size ourselves
Mon Dec 16 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure gfxterm and gfxmenu are embedded into grub loader module
Fri Dec 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - arm: make sure the fat32 filesystem is created with the -I option + See mkdosfs for details on the -I switch. This finally fixes the boot problems on the Raspberry-Pi boards
Fri Dec 13 13:00:00 2013 guillaume.gardetAATToliseo.fr - Update copyBootCode function
* Add support to check for /boot/dtb/ since DTB files will be stored in this folder
Fri Dec 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - arm: make sure there is no x86 boot code in MBR
* prevent the use of insmod and put them into the grub2 loader module directly. For secure boot dynamic loading of modules is not allowed and we also fix the undefined symbols problem as described in the bug
Fri Dec 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed dn() function to work correctly with loop devices (bnc #855288)
Thu Dec 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - Update all JeOS templates to include the gfxboot-branding if the selected image type is \"oem\". This is done to have a graphics boot menu for install iso images
Thu Dec 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - Use isolinux to boot an install CD + Instead of using the bootloader selected for the image raw disk to boot the install iso we use isolinux which is the correct loader for an iso. In addition this now also allows to create hybrid install iso images
Wed Dec 11 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - on construction of a KIWIXML instance, return early if no pointer to the image configuration directory is defined
Wed Dec 11 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added better comments describing what eltorito boot image is used for an install ISO

Tue Dec 10 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - Added better in-code documentation in KIWIAnalyseCustomData and improved the code flow by reducing the set of unmanaged data with the rpm managed data in the first place - fixed all KIWIQX::qxx calls which are called in list context The result of KIWIQX::qxx is always in scalar context, calling in list context will put the result as one element of the list
Tue Dec 10 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - cleanup the evaluation of kiwi_ variables inside the initrd + the following elements/attributes accepts true|false values: , compressed, hybrid, hybridpersistent and ramonly These settings are propagated without changes to the linuxrc code that evaluates the variable to decide whether or not to perform an action. The evaluation in the shell code was based on yes|no an old relic that used to be use in the XML a long time ago. This update changes the evaluation in the shell code to true|false.
Mon Dec 9 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.11 released
* list all committed versions which hasn\'t been tagged and print the git tag command to tag it. stop at the current version which has been tagged
Mon Dec 9 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.10 released
Mon Dec 9 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setup of size of boot partition of an install stick
* the original code just uses the size of the initrd to estimate a size for the boot partition of the install stick. But this might be too small. Thus the function __getBootSize which also evaluates the value of the bootpartsize attribute is used
Mon Dec 9 13:00:00 2013 dvaleevAATTsuse.de - Added ppc64le link to system/repo
Mon Dec 9 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.9 released
Mon Dec 9 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - arm: fixed suse-13.1-JeOS for Raspberry-Pi
* there is no MLO for raspberry, thus no need to check for it
Mon Dec 9 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - arm: berryboot fixed setup in config.txt
* The initial kiwi initrd and the kernel are in boot/
Mon Dec 9 13:00:00 2013 adrianAATTsuse.de - fixed instsource-plugins support for kiwi v5.06.8
* the change in the KIWIQX module no longer exporting qxx had an impact on the instsource-plugin code. This patch changes the call to a class method call KIWIQX::qxx
Mon Dec 9 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed KIWIRuntimeChecker::__checkSystemDiskData
* if a mountpoint with a custom name is given for a volume the check incorrectly used the name as path but it should use the mountpoint as path in this case
Mon Dec 9 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - arm: berryboot fixes:
* make sure KIWIConfig::suseGFXBoot copies all required firmware and loader files from the boot image to the system image below /image/loader
Sun Dec 8 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed simple initrd creation mode (bnc #854321)
* in this mode the inheritance of data from a system to the boot image is not needed because there is no system image just the boot image description. This fixes the handling of profiles passed on the commandline
Sun Dec 8 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed simple initrd creation mode (bnc #854321)
* in this mode no image type was passed because the default build type from the configuration \'cpio\' should be used. Depending on the type the selection to build a boot image or not is done but at the time of the selection the selected build type variable was not set
Fri Dec 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed copyBootCode method
* if no jump partition is set the function still has to proceed in order to check for boot code which needs to be copied if other bootloaders e.g uboot/berryboot are in use
Fri Dec 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.8 released
Fri Dec 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - berryboot fixes:
* make sure the boot partition indicator is set, because we need a fat32 boot filesystem to boot
Fri Dec 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added openSUSE 13.1 JeOS template for raspberry Pi
Fri Dec 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for berryboot bootloader
* This loader is used on arm Raspberry-Pi systems
Fri Dec 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized variable $screenLogs
* if logging to the terminal is requested this variable is empty
Thu Dec 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - Simplify and cleanup the command executor module KIWIQX
* There is no code creating instances of KIWIQX, thus we only need class methods and should call as such
* If called within the package context the exit status will stay but can still be evaluated as part of the package. That way we can keep the backtrace feature and can better check if enough resources to call the command existed
Wed Dec 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed extending the LVRoot volume
* if the size of the root volume is set via the AATTroot attribute in systemdisk and no other allfree volume was specified the LVRoot volume was extended twice times. first with the specified size which is ok and later to the full space because no other volume was specified to take the rest space. The last resize is unwanted in that case.

Wed Dec 4 13:00:00 2013 dvaleevAATTsuse.de - kernel-ppc64 -> kernel-default
* Starting with openSUSE 12.3, powerpc doesn\'t have special kernel flavor anymore.
Tue Dec 3 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update example image descriptions in doc/ to make use of suseConfig again as long as we don\'t have a solution to use the systemd tools inside a chroot without affecting the host system setup
Tue Dec 3 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - deactivate the use of systemd helper tools
* The following functions have been disabled because they use the systemd tools timedatectl and localectl. Problem is that these tools doesn\'t work correctly from within a chroot environment. They access the dbus daemon from the host system and thus they change the currently active configuration on the host system which is unwanted setupHWclock setupKeyboardMap setupLocale setupTimezone Instead the old suseConfig kiwi function is used again This function simply changes the configuration files inside the chrooted system tree. suseConfig is called as part of the config.sh kiwi script
Mon Dec 2 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure search via \'type -p\' has a full path list - make sure the --nocolor option is used with the spin indicator

Thu Nov 21 13:00:00 2013 thardeckAATTsuse.de - improvements to KIWIAnalyse: + added functions to create a diff of changed configuration files all config files are checked against the rpm database and if they have changed the original packages are downloaded and a diff of them is created. The original config files are stored in the cache to prevent another download of the packages at next invocation. The result is stored in the file \'changed_config.diff\'
Thu Nov 21 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - prevent the use of which in the boot code
* use type -p instead and provide a function called lookup()
Thu Nov 21 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setup of /boot/efi directory
* instead of checking for boot/efi check for the label EFI in the kiwi_JumpPart partition

Mon Nov 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed gfxmode/gfxpayload setup in kiwi grub2 setup
* it\'s possible to set vga=\"0x XML description. If grub2 was used as bootloader the information was incorrectly transfered into gfxmode and gfxpayload values in the grub.cfg. In addition the values were not handed over to the initrd and the file /etc/default/grub. All this is fixed now
Mon Nov 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed company name in analyse report page
Fri Nov 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.06 released
Thu Nov 14 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - enhance pxeSetupDownloadServer
* if the image download server ip is not configured by $kiwiserver the function now also checks for the contents of the $ip variable which exists if pxelinux booted the kernel with \'IPAPPEND 1\' only if we did not get information from $ip the default name tftp.$DOMAIN applies as it was before
Wed Nov 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed broken symlink due to move of results from intermediate build directory to final result directory
Wed Nov 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use ovftool to create an ova format/archive

Wed Nov 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update kiwi schema to version 5.9
* removed scsi as allowed value from vmdisk controller attribute
Wed Nov 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added new xsl stylesheet 5.8 -> 5.9
* the controller type \'scsi\' does not exist for VMware. lsilogic and buslogic define scsi controllers. Thus this attribute value is moved back to the default \'ide\' value Using new controller types requires a specific version of qemu-img which means the only safe translation is back to ide
Wed Nov 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed OVF file diskname: file has to be the .vmdk in reference and not the .ovf
Tue Nov 12 13:00:00 2013 cshorlerAATTgooglemail.com - make sure etc/sysconfig directory exists before temporary copying the proxy configuration into the chroot
Mon Nov 11 13:00:00 2013 cshorlerAATTgooglemail.com - fixed nested File::Find method fixupLinks in cloneImage
* entities found in $File::Find::name always exists, thus it\'s not needed to check their existence

Mon Nov 11 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - replaced static links by relative ones in the custom data report
* this should allow to access the report in a different directory than the default one
Mon Nov 11 13:00:00 2013 Kanstantsin_ShautsouAATTepam.com - if format is set to ovf or ova it makes sense to create the standard VMware machine config file (.vmx) too - rename log message from \"Starting\" to \"Creating\"
Sun Nov 10 13:00:00 2013 cshorlerAATTgooglemail.com - added missing gfxmenu module for grub2
* This prevents the default boot screen to show a broken menu
Sun Nov 10 13:00:00 2013 cshorlerAATTgooglemail.com - fixed temporary setup of DNS/proxy if cache is used
* the code returned before we could copy the appropriate files from the host to the chroot tree if in cache mode
Sun Nov 10 13:00:00 2013 cshorlerAATTgooglemail.com - fixed cloneImage function
* if there are symlinks pointing to a relative destination we fixup the link still pointing to the right location with regards to the new origen of the cloned description
Sat Nov 9 13:00:00 2013 cshorlerAATTgooglemail.com - fixed openSUSE 13.1 boot descriptions
* the default repo setup pointed to 12.3, but should point to 13.1 This is just for completeness and does not hurt because the repo setup for the boot image is inherited by the repo setup from the system image. But for standalone boot image builds it\'s corrected now - arm: fixed openSUSE 13.1 JeOS motd file
* printed some old information about 12.3
Sat Nov 9 13:00:00 2013 cshorlerAATTgooglemail.com - fixed kiwi --init-cache to find the required typeinfo
Sat Nov 9 13:00:00 2013 cshorlerAATTgooglemail.com - added VDI support for VirtualBox

Fri Nov 8 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.06.02 released
* the PreReq\'s for kiwi-pxeboot were missing the shadow tools this is needed because the %post of kiwi-pxeboot checks for the user and group tftp and requires the tools useradd/groupadd to be installed at that time already
Wed Nov 6 13:00:00 2013 Kanstantsin_ShautsouAATTepam.com - added support to specify vmdk diskmode in section
* monolithicSparse

Mon Nov 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - branched off kiwi for openSUSE 13.1
* therefore rebuild documentation for next cycle starting at 5.06
Mon Nov 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix to prevent call of setupBootPartition (bnc #847893)
* if the hybrid RW partition can\'t be created HYBRID_RW will be unset, thus setupBootPartition would be called but we are still in a hybrid mode. In order to make that clear a new variable skipSetupBootPartition is set to handle all cases
Mon Nov 4 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - remove %arch as alowed value for the arch attribute of a element + OBS does not subsitutue this use of %arch + kiwi has no substitution mechanism - Implement consistency check for ovf type + when the format of the is specified as ovf the ovftype attribute of the element must be set
Mon Nov 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed system to boot data inheritance:

* --recycle-root doesn\'t take an argument
Mon Nov 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.44 released
Mon Nov 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed unit test data: patternTattrConsInvalid_2.xml
* both profiles my-first and my-second were invalid. this caused either the one or the other error message which could lead to a successful or failed test result. I changed the test data to be clear on the error condition
Thu Oct 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.43 released
Thu Oct 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed __checkPatternTypeAttrConsistent test
* the test checks for inconsistent patternType combinations in specified profile groups incl. the default group. - changed the function getInstallOption() to decide for the patternType with the highest priority according to the selected profile group(s). The behavior before was to ignore the patternType if it was not the same value over all selected packages sections. This is imho too restrictive - update the unit tests accordingly
Thu Oct 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - on arm uboot can only boot with a uImage or a zImage thus in case of the zImage kiwi should make use of it
Thu Oct 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - KIWIAnalyse: added function importDatabases() to KIWIConfig.sh in order to allow the import of complete database sets. This is the counterpart for the recently added KIWIAnalyseCustomData function createDatabaseDump() - the config.sh created by KIWIAnalyse will automatically add an entry to call this function to allow the reimport of the databases during image creation
Thu Oct 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - KIWIAnalyse: use `mysqladmin ping` instead of a netstat+grep to check for running mysql database
Thu Oct 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - KIWIAnalyse: store exported dbs in /root/var/cache/dbs so they will be imported automatically

Thu Oct 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make the checkKernel() function a real check and don\'t try to fix a detected kernel inconsistency. The check for the kernel consistency between the system image and the initrd still needs activation via the commandline option --check-kernel
Thu Oct 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in openSUSE 12.3 JeOS for arm
* wrong reference to boot image description

Wed Oct 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added origenFlavour profile in 12.3 JeOS for arm
Wed Oct 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"added origenFlavour profile in 13.1 JeOS for arm\"
* this was for the wrong distribution, there is no dtb for the Exynos 4210 CPU on 13.1, thus we can only use the kernel with the old board descriptions. This reverts commit 4c9dc8bb29
Wed Oct 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added origenFlavour profile in 13.1 JeOS for arm
Wed Oct 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix for the kernel search on arm
* even if a zImage exists we use the vmlinux.gz like mkinitrd on arm does it at the moment. If this changes in the future that part in kiwi needs adaption as well
* added a warning message to the log if the kernel mapping has failed
Tue Oct 29 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - prefer the vmlinux-$VERSION.gz kernel file on arm
Tue Oct 29 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed partition alignment for image and repartitioning
* images with more than one partition are not aligned for optimal performance except for the first partition This patch fixes this and also make sure the repartition code creates an aligned table too
Tue Oct 29 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed arm openSUSE 13.1 JeOS image description + some packages e.g insserv does not exist anymore + update kernel used for panda and beagle boards + update buildservice repository paths

* check for unknown escape sequences in the value
* make sure values are embedded in a single pair of \"...\"
Mon Oct 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in setupAugeasImport
Mon Oct 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed output path in createDatabaseDump

Mon Oct 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed .locale helper tool to operate on real .po changes only
Mon Oct 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - add method createDatabaseDump() to KIWIAnalyseCustomData to check for running db\'s and if they are available try to export the entire content. Right now only Mysql is supported
Mon Oct 28 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - added live ISO image example for 13.1
Fri Oct 25 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.41 released
Fri Oct 25 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - deactivate the use of lxc to run custom scripts (bnc #845617)
* some tools e.g groupadd requires access to subsystems like PAM which did not work inside the lxc container because the required precondititions were not added while starting the container. Thus only simple scripts not accessing PAM, udev and other subsystems will work. In addition to that the environment the lxc container itself is started often does not provide the required subsystems e.g support for cgroups. All in all there are more problems than solutions with this concept which is the reason why I disable it for now
Thu Oct 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.40 released
Thu Oct 24 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix use of uninitialized variable
Wed Oct 23 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - add the live USB stick example for openSUSE 13.1 - adjust verification for firstboot logic install check + in 13.1 YaST has been converted to Ruby and firstboot is now a systemd service, thus we need to check for the new implementations as well - eject conflicts with util-linux in 13.1, remove it from oemboot image
Wed Oct 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed postprocessing modes
* e.g the --installstick mode did not work because an XML object was created before the preconditions to do that were fulfilled
Tue Oct 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.39 released
Mon Oct 21 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix setup of target image + at present the build image settings for keymap, timezone and other configuration settings are changed instead of applying the settings to the target image. This fix addresses this bug.
Mon Oct 21 14:00:00 2013 adrianAATTsuse.de - do not ignore addarch, if also the base architecture got added
* with the bootkernel=\"custom\" profile one can prevent the installation of a kernel in the kiwi boot image (initrd) This makes sense if a non profiled kernel or a specific version of a kernel is used as part of the system image XML description. Examples: ==> version pinned kernel: ==> non profiled/custom kernel: If the custom bootkernel attribute is used it\'s required to mark the kernel in the system image XML with bootinclude=\"true\" If this is not done the initrd will not have a kernel/modules which is in most cases unwanted
Sat Oct 19 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix repository image inclusion behavior + adding imageinclude=true did not have the desirec effect of adding the specified repo to the image permanently. This changes fixes this problem
Fri Oct 18 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.38 released
Fri Oct 18 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file for kiwi-pxeboot sub-package (bnc #845853)
* kiwi-pxeboot creates files which belongs to user/group = tftp but it might be the case that the user/group does not exists Thus this patch as a %pre section taking care for this
Thu Oct 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - revert accidentally added test systemdisk section in suse-12.3-JeOS XML description
Thu Oct 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed missing mount and fstab entry for allfree volume
* the volume flagged with freespace=\"all\" was ignored in the mount and fstab setup code
Thu Oct 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed partids for LVM setup:
* The value kiwi_RootPart must always be a number, whereas in case of LVM we also provide kiwi_RootPartVol which takes the name of the root volume
Thu Oct 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added better information about disk Volumes
Thu Oct 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - allow standalone building of initrd images like in older version
* The image type \'cpio\' was handled as initrd image type but newer versions of kiwi just use it as an archive type for the system image. This is a bad incompatibility and also prevents us from just building kiwi initrd images
Wed Oct 16 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix cut and paste error of comment in the oem-recovery-part-size element definition + comment is displayed in the generated doc and was misleading - add unit test for {g,s}etAtaRaidScan method on OEMConfig class - add unit test for {g,s}setRecoveryPartSize method on OEMConfig class - fix bug regarding oem_recoveryPartSize + the value was never set as member variable thus the get method always returned - fix naming inconsistency between the get and set method for the recovery partition size - add value check for the recovery partition ID + must be a 2 digit hex value + also add unit test for this verification
Tue Oct 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed grub2 recovery menu entry
* in EFI mode chainloading is not possible, thus we use grub2 to load the loader configuration from the recovery partition this requires at least a non destructed EFI boot partition
Tue Oct 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed partition to search for kiwi initrd in recovery setup
Tue Oct 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - apply changes from commit: d9d0f3bee also to rhel-repart
Tue Oct 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - always make sure devpts is mounted with mode=0620,gid=5 (bnc #845231)
Tue Oct 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed kiwi-desc- *boot-requires for openSUSE 13.1 (bnc #829429)

* fixed partition ID\'s for repart operation. instead of incrementing kiwi_BootPart we should use the correct values for root,read-only,read-write,lvm as they are written into config.partids
Mon Oct 14 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - rebuild schema from rnc to rng
* instead of removing the .git directory when generating the tarball for the package, use tar\'s --exclude option
Mon Oct 14 14:00:00 2013 mmarekAATTsuse.cz - Do not require graphical grub data for setting up the recovery data because e.g SLE11 does not provide this data
Sat Oct 12 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - add consistency check, the version element is required + bad things will happen in the code if there is no version we assumed the version is always present in many places in the code - expand the validator unit tests - add a trigger to rnu XML and XML Validator tests when the schema changes
Fri Oct 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.37 released
Fri Oct 11 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - implement consistency check for install media (bnc #845490) + using installstick=\"true\" and hybrid=\"true\" is inconsistent and will generate an error during XML verification
* there was a name conflict in the config.partids information actually we have to distinguish between the image root part and the install root part of the stick disk layout. That\'s why I introduced a kiwi_InstallRootPart variable to make that clear
* variable prefer_iface is local but used globally
* variable DHCPCD_STARTED needs to be initialized with an empty string to avoid improper use
* handle prefer_iface as array because it was assigned from array ${dev_list[ *]}
Thu Oct 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Thu Oct 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: fixed opensusePattern vs. namedCollection
Thu Oct 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved __checkType function into the global space (checkType) - fixed checkType function and set an isolinux compliant bootloader if the user requested a hybrid setup for any other than the iso image type - make sure checkType is also called in KIWIBoot because this module reads the image description again from scratch which is needed to support postprocessing modes e.g --bootvm
Wed Oct 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed call of augtool print command in __populateCustomFiles
* missing / in files source path
Wed Oct 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.36 released
Wed Oct 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed iso hybrid partition table for 32bit live iso images
* if firmware=\"bios\" is set the offset and table setup was incomplete, which results in a broken hybrid persistent partition if the iso was used as disk on e.g a USB stick This fixes (bnc #841392) - fixed KIWICollect::addToReportFile function
* perlcritic reports no return value set for this function
* missing obsolete information for old package kiwi-desc-xenboot
Mon Oct 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed writing preferences data from the system to the boot image
* getPreferences returns a new KIWIXMLPreferenceData object containing combined information. Thus it\'s required to set the changed object back into the KIWIXML space
Sun Oct 6 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - do not filter out packages marked for deletion prior to the installation of these packages. If one don\'t want to install a package it sould simply not be part of the packages list. But the reason for the delete list was to be able to remove packages installed but unwanted e.g by a pattern or by an invalid/unneeded requirement
Wed Oct 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - protect packages from being deleted if they are explicitly stated to become installed by a bootinclude attribute
Tue Oct 1 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update false positive list in KIWIAnalyse.skip
Tue Oct 1 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - remove pmtools package from the delete section of the oemboot/suse-SLE descriptions
Tue Oct 1 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in function name, duplicate \'Boot\' in name
Fri Sep 27 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.35 released
Fri Sep 27 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t call setupBootPartition if HYBRID_RW is set (bnc #827520)
* hybrid iso images contain a partition table written by isohybrid if such an iso is dumped on a disk and used in hybrid persistent mode we have to prevent the setup of the boot partition because there is no real boot partition in hybrid mode
* in case the repo already exists, kiwi just updates the path with regards to chroot/non-chroot calls. In that case the imageinclude should not add a repo which is already there
Tue Sep 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.34 released
Mon Sep 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - improvements to KIWIAnalyse:
* move KIWIAnalyse.txt to KIWIAnalyse.systems, stores system ID\'s
* add KIWIAnalyse.skip, provides exception list for false positives
* fix creation of custom tree, don\'t create empty directories
* fix handling of progress for empty lists, division by zero
* the function has to return if it detects that persistent writing is not possible and leave the block without setting HYBRID_RW that fixes (bnc #841662)
Thu Sep 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure the repo cache is cleared before running a new analayse process
Thu Sep 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - enhance KIWIAnalyseReport: find if current active kernel version doesn\'t match any installed package and put that information in the report
* upstream parted supports \'set partition flag state\' whereas flag can\'t be a hex id as we need it when setting e.g a fat partition type. Thus we use the suse extension as fallback which allows to set: \'set partition type hexid\'
Wed Sep 18 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added some notes in the KIWIAnalyse code:
* it would be good to move packagemanager related calls into the KIWIManager abstraction class and support more than only zypper
Wed Sep 18 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure zypper calls runs in POSIX locale
Tue Sep 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - allow bootinclude to be processed for bootstrap packages too
Tue Sep 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - add more information to assert_array_equal in unit testing framework
Tue Sep 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - split code in KIWIMigrate into classes:
* KIWIAnalyse
* KIWIAnalyseCustomData
* KIWIAnalyseManagedSoftware
* KIWIAnalyseReport
* KIWIAnalyseTemplate
Fri Sep 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.33 released
* if cache is invalid it\'s a bad idea to store the path to the old cache
Fri Sep 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix for the IFS restore in kernelCheck function The local scope of IFS is visible to functions called from inside this block. Thus localizing IFS does not help, we have to reset the value inside the function (bnc #838921)
Fri Sep 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for custom LVM volume names (bnc #815204)
* There is now an additional and optional attribute \'mountpoint\' in the volume section. If a mountpoint information is provided the name given in the \'name\' attribute can be any name according to the LVM logical volume name conventions. Example: this will create the logical volume \'bob\' mounted to /tmp. If no mountpoint information is given the information in name is handled as before which means it\'s a path and a name information. Example: this will create the logival volume \'LVtmp\' mounted to /tmp. Thus this feature is fully backward compatible. With this implementation we solved one item on the feedback list.
Fri Sep 13 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - remove the superfluous getPriority method in the child class + the parent calss has the exact same implementation
Fri Sep 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: fixed kiwi man page description for conflicting option
Fri Sep 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed option clash in getopt list
* store rpm based data, and re-use by the md5 sum of the database
* added wait indicator for processing of files - update information about installed kernel and how to use another than the default kernel for the image - add ruby/gems to the ignore path, that\'s because we already provide gem information in the report by using gem directly thus the compiled gem data which is not part of the gem package taints the list of unmanaged data
Wed Sep 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed detection of buildservice repos in KIWIMigrate
Wed Sep 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make checking for empty directories fast in KIWIMigrate
* update kiwi usage message. Don\'t talk about \'migration\' Be more generic and talk about \'analyse & description\' because that\'s in fact what the code does. migration is just one path one can perform.
Wed Sep 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation and man pages for KIWIMigrate
Wed Sep 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure sort order stays consistent in KIWIMigrate
Wed Sep 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for openSUSE-13.1 in KIWIMigrate
Wed Sep 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for systemd service inspection in KIWIMigrate
Wed Sep 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for git transaction log in KIWIMigrate
Wed Sep 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for detecting buildservice repos in KIWIMigrate
Tue Sep 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - follow up patch for setting systemIntegrity for netboot deployments into a ramdisk. Along with systemIntegrity the partition code has to check for haveRamDisk too (bnc #839157)
Tue Sep 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - follow up patch for fetchFile() function. handling of uncompressed value was broken due to the changes to support the \'xz\' compression (bnc #787400)
Tue Sep 10 14:00:00 2013 adrianAATTsuse.de - add .packages support for product media
* I am not proud of this code, but since we may need to backport it, it has to be minimal invasive. A general rework is needed anyway
Tue Sep 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - some improvements to the migration module
* split D3 visualisation parts into extra files
* added information about binary vs. text data (ELF header only)
* added configuration information from augeas
* update logo
Mon Sep 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure systemIntegrity is set correctly to \'clean\' for netboot deployments into a ramdisk (bnc #839157)
Mon Sep 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure IFS change in kernelCheck function will be applied only in local scope (bnc #838921)
Mon Sep 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for augeas into kiwi. The new function setupAugeasImport is called if the following file exists as part of the kiwi image description: config-augeas.xml The contents of this file follows the schema and format as it is provided by augeas. For an example check the output of the command: \'augtool dump-xml /files/ *\'. As example one can add another tty to /etc/securetty as follows: *\"> tty8
kiwi will make use of this feature in the migration module when it populates the current configuration of the system augeas will be used instead of a plain copy of the config file
Fri Sep 6 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.32 released
Thu Sep 5 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of overlay root files in migration mode
* if the creation of a hardlink is not possible due to cross device references e.g /tmp not on the same device, we create a symbolic link instead.
* make sure kiwi.pl get the right permissions back after the change
* make sure the xsl pretty printer also uses spaces and not tabs
* make sure the schema RNG format is rebuild
Mon Sep 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support to specify the size of the recovery partition integer-value The specified size is ignored if it is too small according to the minimum required size. In this case a warning message is printed to the /var/log/boot.kiwi file on first deployment. This implements enhancement (bnc #836657)
Mon Sep 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update .indent helper to check config.xml and *.rnc files too
Fri Aug 30 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed unit tests due to changed message layout in c:d8405713
Fri Aug 30 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - prepare fetchFile() function to be able to handle \'xz\' compressed files as well as \'gzip\' compressed files. This is related to the enhancement report in (bnc #787400)
Fri Aug 30 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fixed version number for openSUSE 13.1 boot images - added cdrkit-cdrtools-compat package for the openSUSE 13.1 isoboot boot description to get isoinfo back into the path
Thu Aug 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in message output, surplus \'\ \' prior to status flag
Thu Aug 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added indention helper, tab to 4 spaces
Thu Aug 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - removed obsolete modules/.test directory including unused and broken unit tests
Thu Aug 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.31 released
Wed Aug 28 14:00:00 2013 adrianAATTsuse.de - add also noarch and armv6hl architectures
Wed Aug 28 14:00:00 2013 adrianAATTsuse.de - add armv7hl and aarch64 as supported architectures
Tue Aug 27 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make the partition based installation smarter (bnc #836780)
* the current implementation shows a list of partitions to select if there is a choice. however this could be done better by taking the size, partid and fs-label information into account. With this patch the user only has to choose a partition if there is really more than one partition which matches the size and partid and filesystem label constraints
Tue Aug 27 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of EFI capable USB stick install images
* the code which makes use of the bios_grub flag was not applied there
Tue Aug 27 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.30 released
Tue Aug 27 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value $oem{\"kiwi_oemswap\"} in KIWIProfileFile.pm
Mon Aug 26 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - get the partition ID check back in OEMFindPartitions (bnc #836052)
* if in oem-partition-install mode the function checked suitable partitions only by its size but not by its partition id. I had removed the support for it because the GPT doesn\'t have partition hex id\'s like the MBR table has it. But it has turned out this was a useful check. Thus I added it back by mapping GPT partition names to MBR hex id\'s. When installing a kiwi EFI image via the partition install mode it\'s important to name the partitions on the installation disk in the same way as it\'s done in the image. This is a small requirement for partition based EFI image installations.
* adapt to new data structure, deleting getImageTypeAndAttributes_legacy
Mon Aug 26 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added optional type attribute
* the attribute value can be a comma separated list of ZFS options used on creation time of the ZFS pool. Thus the result are \'zfs set $option kiwipool\' calls which allows to set pool attributes like compression and others
Mon Aug 26 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved __quote function to the correct name space. It was formerly used as part of KIWIXML but due to the restructuring it\'s required in KIWIProfileFile now
Fri Aug 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.29 released
Fri Aug 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in product building
Fri Aug 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.28 released
Fri Aug 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added __checkProfileConsistent() runtime check if the specified profile(s) exists
Fri Aug 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed root=... setup if zfs is used, stay compatible with dracut
Fri Aug 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure bootprofile \'default\' is set if no other boot profile was specified
Fri Aug 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added KIWIURL::__realPath() helper function (bnc #836053):
* the function translates existing local paths to its real path including collapse of path spec like /foo/../quux
Fri Aug 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - changed __getBootSize() helper to allow a min boot partition size of 100 MB
Thu Aug 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed split creation, wrong use of KIWIXMLSplitData methods
Thu Aug 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - finished XML restructuring and moved all XML handling into the new data structure. The code is now legacy code free. With the new internal structure in place data can also fly in from other protocols which might be needed in the future for e.g configuration management, CIM, cfengine
Thu Aug 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved product/instsource handling to the new data structure. The following legacy function were removed:
* getInstSourceArchList_legacy
* getInstSourceDUDInstsys_legacy
* getInstSourceDUDModules_legacy
* getInstSourceDUDTargets_legacy
* getInstSourceMetaPackageList_legacy
* getInstSourceProductInfo_legacy
* getInstSourceProductOption_legacy
* getInstSourceProductStuff_legacy
* getInstSourceProductVar_legacy
* getInstSourceRepository_legacy
* getInstSourcePackageList_legacy

* getPackageAttributes_legacy
* __getInstSourceDUDPackList_legacy
Wed Aug 21 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved split tmp/persistent files handling to the new data structure Along with the change the following legacy functions were deleted:
* getSplitPersistentExceptions_legacy
* getSplitPersistentFiles_legacy
* getSplitTempExceptions_legacy
* getSplitTempFiles_legacy
Wed Aug 21 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - deleted writeXMLDescription_legacy
* the old data structure allowed to write changes applied to the XML objects to be written persistently. With the new data structure the XML object has a method writeXML which allows to write the current data set in the XML format. The work on the XML writer is not yet finished. Thus the support for writing changes back to the XML will be added back at a later point in time.
Tue Aug 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved handling over to the new data structure
* deleted: getImageSize_legacy
* deleted: getImageSizeAdditiveBytes_legacy
* deleted: getImageSizeBytes_legacy
Tue Aug 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved editbootinstall/editbootconfig handling to the new data structure
* deleted getEditBootConfig_legacy
* deleted getEditBootInstall_legacy
Mon Aug 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved getInstSourceFile_legacy into the global space. This function is just a file downloader and does not belong to the legacy code. Along with the change the function was renamed to KIWIGlobals -> instance() -> downloadFile(...)
Mon Aug 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed grub2 graphics boot for openSUSE 13.1:
* gfxterm must be compiled in
Mon Aug 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - reduce the use of getPackageAttributes_legacy
Mon Aug 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - set a useful default for the bootloader when building live iso images
Mon Aug 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved handling of testsuite packages into the new data structure
* deleted legacy function: getTestingList - moved creation of .profile environment file into the new data structure
* deleted legacy function: getImageConfig_legacy
* deleted KIWIProfileFile method: updateFromHash
Mon Aug 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved type attribute handling into the new data structure
* renamed updateDescription to updateDescription_legacy
* deleted the following legacy functions: + getImageTypeAndAttributes_legacy + __setTypeAttribute
Mon Aug 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added missing kiwi_oemskipverify variable to allowed variables in KIWIProfileFile
Mon Aug 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved use of getImageTypeAndAttributes_legacy into class method calls of the new data structure
Sat Aug 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed md5file setup in oem installpxe mode: the raw disk image is stored compressed thus the zblocks information is required when atftp is used for the transfer
Fri Aug 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved type attribute handling for the creation of the .profile environment into the new data structure respectively delete the handling from getImageConfig_legacy - combine the inheritance code which transfers information from the system XML to the boot XML at one place which is the prepareBootImage() function
Thu Aug 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.27 released
Thu Aug 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved handling for defaultroot attribute to new data structure and use the getPreferences() -> getDefaultRoot() access method The following legacy function were removed:
* getImageDefaultDestination_legacy
* getImageDefaultRoot_legacy
* __getPreferencesNodeByTagName
Thu Aug 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed kiwi script calls if they are done contained via lxc the callContained() function was changed to use the lxc-start tool to run the scripts instead of wrapping around lxc-init and calling lxc-execute (bnc #832337)
Wed Aug 14 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved handling of image data into the new data structure the following legacy function was deleted:
* __setImageAttribute
Wed Aug 14 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved handling of preferences data into the new data structure the following legacy functions were deleted:
* getBootTheme_legacy
* getLicenseNames_legacy
* getLocale_legacy
* __setOptionsElement
* __addOptionsElement
Wed Aug 14 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved LVM handling over to the new data structure the following legacy functions were deleted:
* getLVMVolumes_legacy
* __addVolume_legacy
Tue Aug 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved handling of oemconfig information into the new data structure along with the change the following legacy functions disappeared
* getOEMAlignPartition_legacy
* getOEMBootTitle_legacy
* getOEMBootWait_legacy
* getOEMKiwiInitrd_legacy
* getOEMPartitionInstall_legacy
* getOEMReboot_legacy
* getOEMRebootInter_legacy
* getOEMRecovery_legacy
* getOEMRecoveryID_legacy
* getOEMRecoveryInPlace_legacy
* getOEMShutdown_legacy
* getOEMShutdownInter_legacy

* getOEMSkipVerify_legacy
* getOEMAtaRaidScan_legacy
* getOEMSwap_legacy
* getOEMSwapSize_legacy
* getOEMSystemSize_legacy
* getOEMUnattended_legacy
* getOEMUnattendedID_legacy
* __setOEMOptionsElement
Tue Aug 13 14:00:00 2013 dmuellerAATTsuse.com - fixed sat solver support for armv6l
* the system (uname) might reports armv6l but the package meta data stores armv6hl for both armv6l and armv6hl cpu types. In order to set the right arch to the sat pool the arch name has to be adapted in this case - fixed the spec file setup for the myarch variable for armv6l/armv6hl. The script generating the requires list for the auto generated *boot-requires packages only deals with the arch name armv6l.
Tue Aug 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved handling of xen domain into the new data structure
Mon Aug 12 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make KIWICache code legacy free
Mon Aug 12 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - create a helper function __updateProfileEnvironment in the KIWIImageCreator code to reduce code duplication - prepareBootImage and createBootImage always run in a sequence thus it\'s not required to read in the boot image description twice. The XML description for the boot (initrd) image is now read in once in boot prepare and just re-used next in the boot create step. This also simplifies the handling of inherited data from the system into the boot image
Sun Aug 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - removed following legacy functions:
* getTypeSpecificPackageList_legacy
* getArchiveList_legacy
* getBaseList_legacy
* getDeleteList_legacy
* getInstallList_legacy
* getInstallSize_legacy
* getPackageManager_legacy
* setPackageManager_legacy
* getURLHash_legacy

* addPatterns_legacy
* addPackages_legacy
* addImagePatterns_legacy
* addImagePackages_legacy
* addArchives_legacy
Fri Aug 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - move KIWIXMLInfo module to use new data structure. The following legacy functions are not in use anymore:
* getInstallSize_legacy
* getURLHash_legacy
* setPackageManager_legacy
* __createURLList_legacy
Fri Aug 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - improved information provided by .releasetags helper tool
Fri Aug 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - change processing order of upgrade request:
* handle the requested deletion of packages last
Fri Aug 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - move package/archive handling into new data structure
* implemented for kiwi\'s prepare, create and upgrade modes
* reduced the use of the following legacy functions: + getArchiveList_legacy + getDeleteList_legacy + getBaseList_legacy + getTypeSpecificPackageList_legacy + getInstallList_legacy
Thu Aug 8 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - new tests to cover the newly implemented methods related to VHD tagging
Wed Aug 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - remove obsolete kiwi_fixedpackbootincludes from .profile env
* this information was used in the functions basePackBootIncludes and baseUnpackBootIncludes to preserve boot included data from being removed by kiwi\'s initrd strip processing. With the new system based and the section and also documented in: http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/kiwi/doc/#sec.bootcustomization these functions became obsolete.
Wed Aug 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getDomain() call on undefined object reference
Tue Aug 6 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - removed use of getXenConfig_legacy:
* use new KIWIXMLVMachineData object to handle this part
Tue Aug 6 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update pre-commit hook:
* add information about perl code verification
* skip the unit test perl code from being verified by \'perl -w\'
* make sure kernel-desktop is not installed by default if the xen profile is active. For some strange reason zypper always installs kernel-desktop which is unwanted
Tue Aug 6 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup KIWIImageFormat class:
* make the format code legacy code free
Tue Aug 6 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added .releasetags helper script to find release commits
Tue Aug 6 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added disk tagging support for Windows Azure (bnc #815809)
* added function writeVHDTag called in createVHDSubFormatFixed
* added attribute \'vhdfixedtag\' to store the tag following the pattern: \"[0-9a-f]{8}-([0-9a-f]{4}-){3}[0-9a-f]{12}\"
Fri Aug 2 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - Create KIWIXMLDefStripData object:
* encapsulate the KIWI defined default strip data
* Use the new object in the ImageCreator to update the bootXML description accordingly plus some minor refactoring to avoid code duplication for the bootXML update
* Implement unit tests - Remove any knowledge of the default strip data from the XML class implementations
Sun Jul 28 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: added susesync for developer documentation
Fri Jul 26 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved strip section handing into new data structure. The reading of the default strip section data has been moved to the prepare/createBootImage functions and is no longer part of the KIWIXML constructor. The following legacy functions will be removed:
Fri Jul 26 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added call for genDevDoc as part of the doc Makefile
Thu Jul 25 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed createOriginSnapshot to take care for all btrfs subvolumes
Thu Jul 25 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value $reqSize in addition
Thu Jul 25 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - update EC2 example + it makes no sense to include plymouth, the branding of the boot screens is not visible in a cloud image
Wed Jul 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - get rid of the loader variable in the kernel commandline kiwi stores this information as kiwi_bootloader variable in the initrd if set as part of the . if not set the arch specific default applies
Wed Jul 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - get rid of the VGROUP variable in the kernel commandline store this information in the kiwi initrd instead as variable kiwi_lvmgroup
Mon Jul 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed broken shell string comparison in KIWILinuxRC if the variable $loader is not set (bnc #829537)
Mon Jul 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of mdadm.conf. The file is missing if the original RAID setup is used without formatting (bnc #829504)
Mon Jul 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - changed the code calling \'echo something >> file\' to real perl code opening and closing the file for appending data including error checking
Mon Jul 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t search for shell builtins like \'echo\' by using KIWILocator. With the last change from \'which\' to \'type -p\' shell builtins will not be found anymore.
Sat Jul 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed 32bit efi builds. the created efi binary should be named bootx32.efi for this architecture
Sat Jul 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update unit tests due to i586/i686 vs ix86 arch name change
Sat Jul 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t turn arch name i686/i586 into combined ix86 name. This is required with regards to the previous commit handling i586 and i686 specific packages setup (bnc #829429)
Sat Jul 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed boot image descriptions for 32bit x86 builds (bnc #829429)
* kernel-desktop doesn\'t exist for i586 anymore
* kernel-pae doesn\'t exist for i586 anymore
* don\'t use ix86 as arch statement because this doesn\'t allow to distinguish between i686 and i586
Wed Jul 17 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix up the live ISO example for openSUSE 12.3 + changes in patterns and removal of SuSEconfig break the existing example
Tue Jul 16 14:00:00 2013 dmuellerAATTsuse.com - fixed editboot path conversion when it applies to the working directory. The previous code change broke the logic for relative paths matching the current dir
* various commands were moved to /usr/sbin and this path is not in the search path for KIWILocator which results in the locator code not being able to find them.
* Additionally the \'which\' command got splitted into a separate package. In order to simplify the backward compatibility we decided to use \'type -p\', which is a a standard bash builtin
Fri Jul 12 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - wait for udev to finish the event queue before killing the daemon
Fri Jul 12 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.26 released
Fri Jul 12 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file to match build requires with package requires
Thu Jul 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure setupBootLoaderGrub2() creates /boot/grub2/device.map which is required for suse tools to work correctly
* packages and archives marked as bootinclude have to respect an optional arch setup like this example:
Thu Jul 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup getBootIncludePackages(), I thought comments and variable names are misleading
Thu Jul 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed initrd creation for ec2 images done with mkinitrd
* For EC2 images kiwi uses mkinitrd to create a targeted for EC2 initrd, rather than the usual kiwi initial intrd that generates a new initrd on firstboot. With SLE 11 SP3 mkinitrd got \"smarter\" to the disadvantage of building an initrd on system A that is targeted for system B. Therefore we were forced to create a so called \"monster initrd\". This monster initrd include basically everything, hence the name. While this in general is only a minor size concern in EC2 this has the ill effect that the image will not boot. The reason for the non booting image is the inclusion of multipath in the initrd. This patch moves the 61-multipath.sh away for the call of mkinitrd and put it back afterwards
Wed Jul 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.25 released
Wed Jul 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added build result meta data files
* each build now contains two additional files: The .packages file which contains a list of all installed packages The .verified file which contains the result of rpm -Va These files are only created on rpm based systems and should help to compare build results better
Wed Jul 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - allow the function partedWrite() to return instead of a rebootException on error and if the hybrid persistent feature is activated. In this case we want to proceed with the boot process but deactivate the persistent write feature
Wed Jul 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure \'sg_inq\' tool stays in the initrd, this is new for udev in openSUSE 13.1
Wed Jul 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.24 released
Wed Jul 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - isoinfo moved to /usr/lib/genisoimage which is not a default search path. Thus kiwi did not find the tool in openSUSE 13.1 with this fix kiwi looks up the binary in /usr/bin and in /usr/lib/genisoimage
Wed Jul 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - kiwi maps the arch name for intel 32bit to \'ix86\' but many image descriptions used the name \'i686\' which was wrong. This also fixed the 32bit live iso building because we use arch specific efi packages for building them
Mon Jul 8 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - explicitly set firmware to \'bios\' for older live iso image templates
Mon Jul 8 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - return early in updatePartitionTable() if the image is a hybrid iso containing a GPT
Fri Jul 5 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - improve messages in loadNetworkCardS390 to be more clear
Fri Jul 5 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - if processing of loadNetworkCardS390 was skipped by a flag file the return value should be 1 not 0 to make sure we don\'t proceed with other network functions
Thu Jul 4 14:00:00 2013 thardeckAATTsuse.de - prevent duplicates in resolv.conf managed by setupDNS
* if setupDNS is called multiple times it added the same line again and again. This patch checks if the entry exists before adding it
Wed Jul 3 14:00:00 2013 thardeckAATTsuse.de - s390: introduced new function loadNetworkCardS390
* allow preconfiguring of s390 network cards. The function checks on a given host (DASD 191 in our case) for a parm file with the name .PARM-S11. If it is found the parameters normally read from the kernel cmdline are read from there and exported. The exported data takes effect later to set up the network with the setupNetworkInterfaceS390 function. The check for the parm file can be deactivated by a one-time flag file \'/etc/deactivate_s390_network_config_from_dasd\' which is removed when found and evaluated
* before this patch only /proc/cmdline was read in now an optional paramters allows to change this
Wed Jul 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getRepos() in migration module to handle cd:// url types correctly and in the same way like dvd:// url types
Wed Jul 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value $reqSize in KIWIBoot
Wed Jul 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t mount/umount the zfs pool let zpool import/export do it
Tue Jul 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getOperatingSystemVersion() in the kiwi migration module to check for baseversion in addition to the version element
Tue Jul 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.23 released
Tue Jul 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix for parted invocation:
* it\'s required to pass the partition ID when setting the partition type
* set lxboot instead of lxroot as partition name for the boot partition - Unfortunately suse\'s parted doesn\'t understand the set call \'set ... swap on|off\' even though the man page explicitly say so thus I disabled this flag setup for now
Tue Jul 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - removed use of grub2-efi for openSUSE 13.1, the package was dropped and instead the following grub2 packaging schema exists: grub2 => grub tools grub2-x86_64-efi => grub efi modules 64bit grub2-i386-efi => grub efi modules 32bit grub2-i386-pc => grub bios modules
Tue Jul 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed return value of setupBTRFSSubVolumes if no volumes are configured
* after the ec2 format code has changed the contents of the image it\'s required to rebuild the md5 sum
Mon Jul 1 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.22 released
Mon Jul 1 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - switched from perl-Test-Unit to perl-Test-Unit-Lite openSUSE 13.1 will not provide it anymore and also the author of perl-Test-Unit recommended to switch to the lite version: http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/Test-Unit
* don\'t use the suse only extension which allows to set the partition type by its hex ID, instead use the flags parted natively supports
Fri Jun 28 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix test in factory + fix logic error in XML processing, only mark the first type found as the first type. While the flag indicator was set to 0 at the end of the loop it was re-initialized with 1 at the beginning of the loop - fix latent test bug + the order of calls was incorrect, thus when a file system tool was not present the test reacted to the output from the test itself, rather than from the code under test
Fri Jun 28 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value in string eq at KIWIBoot.pm
Fri Jun 28 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value $record{\"filesystem\"} in pattern match (m//) at KIWIXML.pm
Thu Jun 27 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - renew partition creation code in KIWIBoot. make it more readable, reduce duplicate code and allow efi images without forcing a boot partition
Thu Jun 27 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - zfs integration, make sure pool is exported on shutdown
* added /run/initramfs/shutdown script compatible to dracut see: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/dracut/dracut.html section: #_dracut_on_shutdown for reference
Wed Jun 26 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed installBootLoader() to allow skipping the installation of the legacy bios grub2 loader if the system doesn\'t have the bios grub2 modules installed but EFI is selected as firmware
* consider filesystem used, do not blindly assume ext3
* create a \"monster\" initrd to avoid the mkinitrd code from probing into the device tree. The device tree is different on the build machine than the target EC2 infrastructure - exit early if no EC2 account credentials are defined
* if no credentials are defined we cannot create a bundle, exit after initrd creation if no credentials exist
Tue Jun 25 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - keep a copy of the initrd in /run/initramfs to allow systemd the jump back to the initrd. This is what a dracut initrd would do as well and it also allows operations after the root filesystem is umounted, e.g export the zfs pool
Tue Jun 25 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update root=... variable correctly if zfs is used
Mon Jun 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed editbootconfig/editbootinstall
* make sure these options are evaluated for the iso type too
* make sure absolute paths specified with commandline options are checked and used if the file exists
Mon Jun 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure FBOK also works if isconsole helper doesn\'t exist
Mon Jun 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use zfs set mountpoint instead of mount --move
Fri Jun 21 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.21 released
Fri Jun 21 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed profile setup, don\'t set lvm variable if zfs or btrfs is used
Thu Jun 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - mount EFI (fat) jump partition to /boot/efi and not boot/EFI this is required to let suse tools work correctly (bnc #825221)
Thu Jun 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed legacy BIOS/CSM support for oem images
* for some reason it\'s required to toggle the bios_grub flag after install and repart of an oem image to fix the EFI boot
* use grub2-bios-setup directly instead of grub2-install because grub2-install for an EFI image does not install anything
Thu Jun 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - removed the four primary partition limit in the oem repart code
Thu Jun 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed updatePartitionTable
* if the disk geometry has changed parted\'s fix is to write a gpt_sync_mbr and destroy the gpt with it. In that case kiwi has to rewrite the entire table with a new GPT label This is related to (bnc #825221)
Thu Jun 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added grub2-efi by default for openSUSE 12.3 JeOS template
Wed Jun 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - support element for volume capable filesystems
* The kiwi supported filesystems btrfs and zfs support their own volume management system. Because of this reason kiwi evaluates the contents of the optional systemdisk volumes for those filesystems by the native filesystem support and not via LVM
Wed Jun 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixes for the zfs support
* fixed handling of options in fsmountoptions passed to zpool
* added support for zfs resize in resizeFilesystem
Wed Jun 19 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed regression in cylinder count detection in partedInit the unix device name is required to parse the parted output correctly but it might happen that the udev device name is passed to the function
Tue Jun 18 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suse-12.3/suse-ec2-guest template
* module-init-tools must be installed early as part of bootstrap
* kernel-ec2-base conflicts with kernel-ec2
Mon Jun 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of iso persistent write partition (bnc #825172)
* fixed detection of cylinder count for isohybrid tables
* use isohybrid EFI bootable image by default, the partition table written in this case allows standard partition device (e.g /dev/sda1) for EFI and protective MBR thus works in both worlds correctly and allows the creation of additional partitions without problems
* don\'t use a fixed partition number, use the next one free
* always create a filesystem on the write partition with the \'hybrid\' label, even if the used overlay technique does not urgently requires this. The label helps to identify the write device on reboot
* use parted instead of fdisk. fdisk is not suitable when adding partitions to the GPT, use kiwi\'s createPartitionerInput method
* fixed clicfs cow file check, check clicfs only if clicfs is used, with the move to overlayfs there is a choice now
* search for persistent write partition by a blkid label search and don\'t actually mount/umount the partition by label
* syslinux >= 4.04 is required to make all this work correctly
Fri Jun 14 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.20 released
Thu Jun 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - return early from setupBootPartitionPXE if $imageRootDevice is empty. This is the case when the netboot code checks the update case
Thu Jun 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved __checkPackageUnique() test from an error message to a warning message. for the package manager this is not an error condition too so it shouldn\'t be one for kiwi
Thu Jun 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added isconsole helper program which checks the linux console mode with the KDGETMODE ioctl. The program is used in a new shell function named FBOK to check the framebuffer/console capabilities better in order to know if we can run fbiterm there or not
Thu Jun 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - add elilo package to suse-SLE11-JeOS template for the uefi profiles
* don\'t use graphics, grub terminal is the console in this mode
Tue Jun 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added setupBootPartitionPXE() to check and setup the boot partition if any in case of a pxe image. The pxe image type offers different boot scenarios than the other kiwi supported image types. Thus it got its own function now and I could also cleanup the pxe specific hacks we had in the base setupBootPartition() function
Tue Jun 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - Better integration of ZFS:
* moved from kiwiroot to kiwipool as zfs pool name
* evaluate fsmountoptions in zpool create
* added function setupZFSPoolVolumes() which creates the zfs pool layout as suggested by the community
Mon Jun 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make kiwi locale files available in vmx type images too
Mon Jun 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix for (bnc #823617)
* use message text from gettext catalog, i18n support
* use the dialog program to display the message if it is installed as part of the image. We are already inside the running system when this message might be displayed. If no dialog is installed the message is just echo\'ed on the console with a waitkey exception
Mon Jun 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update kiwi message text template kiwi.pot
* added new text informing the user for a failed bootloader setup
Mon Jun 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - adapted LVM resize in oem partition install mode according to the new AATTroot volume setup
Fri Jun 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - set GRUB_TERMINAL to console if no unicode font exists
Fri Jun 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.19 released
Fri Jun 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - if the bootloader can\'t be installed stop the boot process and print a warning message to the user. Continue the boot with a wait-for-key exception (bnc #823617)
Thu Jun 6 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support to specify the size of the root volume. With regards to the latest LVM consistency checks and adaptions it was only possible to set one volume as the one taking the rest space. This is either the root volume or the one flagged as freespace=\"all\". The possibility to setup a specific size for the root volume and define another volume to take the rest space was lost. With this commit you can now optionally define the size of the root volume: I also fixed the LVM setup when used with standard vmx virtual disks and introduced new consistency checks e.g it doesn\'t make sense to specify both size and freespace for one volume
Tue Jun 4 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed fetchFile function. The variable $imageBlkSize is not initialized, so it is better to use $chunk
Tue Jun 4 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - write dvd/cd device entry to vmx file if the device ide is 0 (bnc 822185)
Mon Jun 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getSingleInstSourceSatSolvable()
* instead of rely on the suffix of a file it\'s better to actually check if it\'s compressed or non compressed data due to redirections and symlinks it might happen that a file name e.g \'packages\' is resolved into \'packages.en.gz\' kiwi downloaded the file and failed to check that it\'s a compressed file (bnc #822247)
Mon Jun 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - improved error output of failed schema validation
* also check if the converted file can be created or not
Mon Jun 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed 5.7 to 5.8 xsl stylesheet
Mon Jun 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evaluation of oem-ataraid-scan parameter
Mon Jun 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed raw disk size calculation for split images the boot partition size was not taken into account
Sun Jun 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for zfs filesystem
* still problems with grub2-mkconfig, can\'t find canonical path
Thu May 30 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - preserve haveged, related to (bnc #766720)
Thu May 30 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed OEMRepartLVM creation of recovery partition
* the recovery partition eats up all free space but it should use only the needed space to store the recovery data.
Thu May 30 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup fix, use long option --file in grub search instead of -f. That\'s consistent with the other grub search calls
Wed May 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure udev is installed and not udev-mini
Wed May 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed search method used in grub.cfg
* we already moved to a uuid search in the early grub config but in the main grub.cfg it was still a file search which for some reasons is not as stable as the uuid search even though I always find the file in the grub shell with ls
Wed May 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure partition names are set back within the oem repartition code
Wed May 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed restore of boot partition
* if a different filesystem is used for the root and the boot partition the problem appeared that the restore code uses the filesystem type of the root partition for the restore of the boot partition
Wed May 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed names set for partitions in the GPT
* lxlvm, lxro, lxrw, lxroot, lxboot, legacy, UEFI are possible
* use 2MB for the legacy BIOS boot partition
* use 32MB for the UEFI fat partition
* really evalute return values from parted calls
Tue May 28 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - removed experimental code from oem partition install block if the partition table did not fit the need kiwi tried to read-only mount the not yet installed image via a device mapper snapshot and starts a X session with gparted to make it easier for the user to setup the partition table. The idea is nice but there are too many pitfalls and it has been proven that it\'s better to offline prepare the install target and not do that while inside a minimal initrd system
Tue May 28 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update XML description to new schema version
Tue May 28 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update schema version from 5.7 to 5.8
* removed syncMBR attribute and create an xsl template for it
Tue May 28 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - rewrite of the legacy BIOS/CSM support
* removed the syncMBR attribute from the XML schema
* changed the partition layout if firmware=\"efi\" is specified. A new partition with flag \'bios_grub\' is created
* install the bios grub2 into the protective MBR which exists according to the EFI spec if a GPT is used. The special bios_grub flaged partition is required to allow grub2 to install
Fri May 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.18 released
Fri May 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixes for the oem partition install mode:
* fixed check for amount of required partitions
* removed check for partid, does not work well with GPT
* fixed handling to be more generic and more independent from the number of partitions in the image. Using the filesystem label for selecting the partitions - fixed runInteractive function and call params:
* don\'t use --stdout option for dialog, the written result contains escape characters which confuses the code. Instead use the default stderr channel where dialog write its results
Thu May 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed oem partition install mode. Use kpartx sync mode to make sure devices are created on return of the call
Thu May 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.17 released
Wed May 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t repart the disk if less than 5MB are free
Wed May 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed __checkLVMoemSizeSettings runtime check to work correctly with the \'all\' size specification
Wed May 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - create global function dsize() which implements a size method to calculate the size of all entities in a directory using the du utility. du is called in two passes first in standard mode counting disk usage and secondly in apparent mode also checking for files with holes, fragmentation, indirect blocks and the like. The biggest value is returned
* Thanks to Roman for a better regexp to get the proxy url
* prevent double inclusion of source locator
Tue May 21 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suse-SLE11-JeOS template:
* the package grub2 was dropped for SLES-SP3 RC2
Tue May 21 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed provideMediaLicense function. The url passed to the getInstSourceFile_legacy contained a weird quoting
Tue May 21 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.16 released
Tue May 21 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getInstSourceFile_legacy to work correctly with proxy url\'s the function cut the proxy data together with the information which file to download and lost the file information
Mon May 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed and optimized disk size calculation
* I had by default 40% spare space on the root path which seems to be too much, I have 20% spare on each volume so I adapted that to the root path as well.
* for the size estimation I now use the --apparent-size option in du, which works better on files with holes and other or other attributes which makes a difference when copying those data.
* Use a fixed value for the filesystem overhead each volume adds to the disk. It is wrong to calculate and add a 20% spare/volume according to the size of the data in the volume to the disk, because that value has already been taken into account with the data spare calculation of the entire tree
Mon May 20 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed __checkSystemDiskData runtime check to work correctly with the \'all\' size specification
Sat May 18 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - restructure the use of prebuilt boot images
* adapt to new data structure thus we get rid of checkAndSetupPrebuiltBootImage, getDefaultPrebuiltDir_legacy
* moved the logic for using a prebuilt version of a boot image into the image creator code at the level of prepareBootImage and createBootImage. This saves us one KIWIXML instance
* write one function createImageBootImage which does either the prepare/create of the boot image or the use of an existing prebuilt version. reduces some code duplication
Fri May 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - adapt handling of bootkernel and bootprofile to new data structure
* there is still the function __populateDefaultProfiles_legacy active and working but as soon as this code will go away the transfer of the \'bootkernel\' and \'bootprofile\' attributes from the system image into the boot image must follow the new data structure which is based on get and set methods. Actually this change also fixes the creation of the .profile kiwi_drivers data because the code writing this is already based on the new internal data structure and was missing the correct boot profile information according to bootkernel and bootprofile
Fri May 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup KIWIXML constructor
* The object variables $this->{buildType} and $this->{defaultType} were used without any real context and are just a copy of $imageType and $this->{selectedType}
Fri May 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed __populateDriverInfo
* the function did not work correctly with the default profile name. It uses the kiwi internal default profile name \'kiwi_default\' as real profile name and failed to use a section as default section if the \'default\' profile name was explicitly specified like it is the case for the netboot boot image descriptions
Fri May 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.15 released
Fri May 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed structure of unpacked image tree when build with a cache In order to avoid any conflicts concerning code operating on the unpacked image tree it\'s required that the structure with and without using a base cache image is the same
Thu May 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.14 released
Thu May 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Thu May 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"- DB: update documentation, changed cache location\" This reverts commit: 5e8a4ba11f6a8b29e2a60df91bd16e0c27adca35
Thu May 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - Revert \"- moved default kiwi cache image location\" according to FHS /var/tmp/kiwicache is not allowed. This reverts commit: 5d667b7bb2d1774fe02835e378788638fcf9c582
Thu May 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.13 released
Wed May 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixes for openSUSE 13.1 boot descriptions
* removed support for legacy grub
* add Mesa to delete list, for some reason that gets pulled in now so we make sure it will be removed
Wed May 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use xz compressor for live iso\'s based on overlayfs
Wed May 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suseGFXBoot to work correctly if a two bootloader setup is requested like it is the case with EFI capable hybrid iso\'s. They use isolinux/gfxboot for the bios boot case and grub2/grub2-branding for the EFI boot. Thus the branding data needs to be handled for both and not only one loader
Wed May 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - update default strip data to make the initrd a bit smaller
* remove /usr/share/grub2/backgrounds
* remove /usr/share/kbd
* remove /usr/lib/rpm
Wed May 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - improved/changed image caching system
* switched from btrfs to overlayfs
* no loop mounts involved anymore, thus one layer less
* using native kernel overlay filesystem which performs better than fuse based filesystems. btrfs has turned out to work unstable when using loop devices and I could not find a noticeable performance difference between btrfs seed devices and the overlayfs upper/lower system
* no cache files but cache trees. full freedom for the user to store those data on NFS, tmpfs, read-only locations...
* all package solver tasks now done via satsolver, solvables will also be cached, no hacky ignore of packages in the cache selection code
* following the keep it simple principle. the caching code is now pretty straight forward
Wed May 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Wed May 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - allow options for mksquashfs in createImageSquashFS
Tue May 14 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - cache creation fixes:
* make sure there are no // in path spec of kiwi-root.cache
* ignore warning about missing auxiliary vector
Tue May 14 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved default kiwi cache image location to /var/tmp/kiwicache instead of /var/cache/kiwi. I found problems with bind mounts into the same directory level
Tue May 14 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.12 released
Tue May 14 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - if a targetdevice is used instead of a loop we need to wait for udev to finish the event loop in the same way as it is done in bindDiskPartitions() when binding the partitions of a loop device (bnc #819772)
Fri May 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Fri May 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation + added some notes about new postHWdetect hook + added some notes about how software raid works in kiwi images
Fri May 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - add hook entry point called: postHWdetect
* it allows to create/modify your own representation of the deviceDisks array containing the found install disk devices
Fri May 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - allow to control whether kiwi searches for ata raid controllers or not using the dmraid utility. This is useful if an alternative control tool exists or the raid should be ignored in any case: true|false By default the search and activation happens if dmraid is installed. Implemented by user feedback request (bnc #815206)
Tue May 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed gettext import, the import was done prior to the export of the LANG environment which caused some texts to be in the wrong language
Tue May 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure there is an active boot/root partition after the oem code has repartitioned the disk
Tue May 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - allow alternative grub2 search path lib/grub and share/grub as it is packaged on Fedora
Tue May 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupLocale to work with locale list separated by \',\'
Sun May 5 14:00:00 2013 mkoeglerAATTauto.tuwien.ac.at - fixed CD/DVD boot of live iso images with activated hybridpersistent option. kiwi will try to create the read-write partition but will fail if this image is booted from a read-only medium. Thus it should deactivate the hybridpersistent feature and proceed the boot
Sun May 5 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value $key in KIWIManagerYum.pm
Fri May 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.11 released
* the xen hypervisor was copied by kiwi as \'xen.gz.vmx\' but the configuration was written to search for xen.gz and failed
Fri May 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use the same inode count calculated for root for the boot and/or efi filesystem
Fri May 3 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed restore of boot partition in recovery/restore mode for systems which uses an extra boot partition
Thu May 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed activation of md-raid array if no repartition process takes place
Thu May 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed display of language selection dialog:
* if lang is _not_ set in /proc/cmdline we will now use the first language set in kiwi_language for the boot image. Thus a language selection dialog only appears if lang is explicitly set to \'ask\'
Thu May 2 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setup of recovery in a raid image. The meta information telling the system how big the recovery partition should be is now stored in the kiwi initrd and not in the image as it was before. According to this the broken mount code at that place could be removed
Tue Apr 30 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: fixed setup of swap device in $imageSwapDevice If the partition table stays untouched the variable was not set which caused a broken fstab entry for swap. This patch makes sure the swap device variable is set in any case
Tue Apr 30 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t show the same message twice
Mon Apr 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - changed grub2 early boot script to search for the fs-uuid of the boot filesystem in order to locate the config file
Mon Apr 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use the new baseMount() function in all config.sh scripts provided by the kiwi JeOS templates
Mon Apr 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added function baseMount() to kiwi script functions. The function mounts all useful kernel filesystems e.g proc, sysfs devpts and binfmt_misc. if the kiwi scripts are called in a contained environment like it is the case if lxc is installed on the image build machine it is required to mount the base filesystems as one of the first steps in the script
Mon Apr 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure binfmt_misc is mounted in the context of config.sh
Mon Apr 29 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - write etc/default/grub_installdevice, which is not required by grub2 at all but by other tools in openSUSE
Thu Apr 25 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - follow up to 3d0e1e944d169 + add unit tests for skip-oem-verify + oem-skip-verify and oem-silent-verify are ambiguous if both are true generate appropriate error
Wed Apr 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.10 released
Wed Apr 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added \'which\' package to boot image descriptions for openSUSE 13.1. which was formerly provided by util-linux and is now an own package (bnc #816709)
Wed Apr 24 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of swapsize in oem size settings + the boot code adds the swap size as additional needed space to the oem-systemsize value thus it\'s wrong to test if swap fits into oem-systemsize. Robert had that before so this was correct, sorry Rob for changing this
Tue Apr 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.9 released
Tue Apr 23 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - reflect the change in the oem-systemsize handling also in the LVM repartition code
Mon Apr 22 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - follow up to OEM setup consistency checking + separate the checks to allow unit testing and create unit tests + update the documentation to explain the meaning and interplay between and
Mon Apr 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed misleading warning message in __getBootSize(). if wanted and needed boot partition space is the same a warning message was printed which is not useful
Mon Apr 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed schema documentation: + if the size of a volume is set too small this is now treated as an error and kiwi exits. formerly this was ignored and kiwi used the value it calculated itself for the volume
Mon Apr 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - with regards to (bnc #815200) following runtime checks were added + check if the specified system size is not smaller than the sum of the specified partition/volume sizes + recommend to specify a swap size if swap is requested and a specific system and or partition/volume size was specified + check if partition/volume path exists in the unpacked tree + check if size of partition/volume in the unpacked tree is smaller than the requested partition/volume size + check if specified system size is not smaller than the overall size of the unpacked tree + check if the calculated free space according to the requested system size value and the current size of the unpacked tree is big enough to resize the partitions/volumes to its requested size
Mon Apr 22 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file, the mysystems macro for openSUSE was broken because it uses VER=1220 on a 12.3 system
Sun Apr 21 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file, sync permissions with /srv/tftpboot
Sun Apr 21 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed SUSE product creation if specified MAIN_PRODUCT does not match the product name. In this case the collection of products is skipped with a warning message
Fri Apr 19 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - do not consider obsrun as a system group
Thu Apr 18 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - allow to skip the md5 verification after image installation of an oem image. This speeds up the deployment but should not be de-activated for customer released images true|false Implemented by user feedback request (bnc #815199)
Thu Apr 18 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: fixed conflicting use of global variables. + The function updateNeeded set among others the variable sum2 which is used later in another context in suse-linuxrc. At that point it was expected that the variable is empty for the first round in a loop but that\'s not true if updateNeeded called before the loop sets the variable to some content. Thus updateNeeded should handle variables used locally in the function as real local variables
Wed Apr 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - it does not make sense to specify \'-i bytes-per-inode\' in combination with \'-N number-of-inodes\'. Thus only the number of inodes is relevant as it\'s the result of the equation inodes = size / ratio. It had no bad impact to specify both -i and -N when creating the filesystem because mkfs.extX takes the value of -N with the highest priority. Thus this fix is just a cleanup of the mkfs.extX call
Wed Apr 17 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setup of recovery boot data + the code there only uses the contents of the boot partition if LVM was enabled. But correct would be to use the contents of the boot partition if it exists and is not equal to the root partition
Tue Apr 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupBootLoaderGrub to write the udev device name into /boot/grub/device.map instead of the unix kernel device name (bnc #813216)
Tue Apr 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suseImportBuildKey to also work with keys present in /usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/keys/
Tue Apr 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed check if repartition task can be done or not. It\'s now based on free spaces vs. additional needed space. Also provide better information about the sizes if the repartition task can\'t be done - fixed resize of LVM partition. It\'s important to add the swap size to be part of the LVM resize because swap is not an extra partition but a volume inside the vgroup
Tue Apr 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed LVM resize of physical extents, pvresize works only with unix kernel device names and doesn\'t like udev links
Tue Apr 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use generic function resizeLVMPVs in OEMPartitionInstall too
Tue Apr 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed OEMRepartLVM, to pass correctly formated size value to createPartitionerInput, value requires a unit suffix
Tue Apr 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.8 released
Tue Apr 16 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use uuid search only in livestick, remove the flag file
Mon Apr 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure index file will be removed in case of an error in the getSingleInstSourceSatSolvable() function
Mon Apr 15 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of lwp-download with complex zypper URL\'s containing additional proxy, proxy-user/pwd information
Sat Apr 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - changed offset=64 to offset=0 for isohybrid. this fixes the problem of missing partition devices in legacy BIOS mode
Sat Apr 13 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed dereferencing of undefined values if no profiles are used
Fri Apr 12 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for overlayfs as root filesystem for the disk based image types oem and vmx. Unfortunately the tool chain is not really prepared for such systems. I found the following issues which are not a kiwi business:
* grub2-mkconfig failed to get canonical path of overlayfs
* mkinitrd does not work if the rootfs is an overlayfs Thus when building an image with filesystem=\"overlayfs\" it can be booted only once with the kiwi initrd. the subsequent reboot failed when using grub2. funny enough with the legacy grub it works because kiwi writes the config in this case
Fri Apr 12 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added helper tool called livestick: + allows deployment of live ISO images on USB sticks without destroying any data on the stick. The system is based on grub2 which loads via loopback the kernel and the initrd from the transfered iso image file. In addition to that custom writing happens into a cowfile and not into a partition. Using livestick recommends the use of the overlayfs filesystem (flags=\"overlay\") because that has proven to work fast and nicely with a cowfile
Fri Apr 12 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix for the last commit concerning the unit tests make sure unwanted duplicate entries are replaced
Fri Apr 12 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use opensuse:// urls in unit tests. that sucks inside the buildservice if the service redirector is broken
Fri Apr 12 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added aarch64 as supported arch to the KIWIXML ctor
Thu Apr 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use a --label search for the grub2 setup if possible
Thu Apr 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure imx, dtb and elf files are moved correctly in the boot partition
Thu Apr 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed loading of network drivers in oemboot dump code
Thu Apr 11 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - arm: make sure elf binaries (.elf) will be extracted
Wed Apr 10 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - call zeroMDRaidSuperBlock only if kiwi_RaidDev is specified
Wed Apr 10 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - add boot image link for armv6 - add armv6 and armv5el to list of supported architectures - create setup for bootimage for 13.1 + this will fix the package build in OBS
Tue Apr 9 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - remove \'mdadm\' from the delete section of the SLES boot image descriptions. mdadm is used by the boot code if a raid setup is configured
Mon Apr 8 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure optional liveCD mount points /cow and /isofrom are moved into the system when they exist
Sun Apr 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed plymouth splash activation in kiwi initrd. It\'s done in the same way systemd does it. after the start of the plymouth daemon it\'s required to wait for udev events to settle before showing the splash screen
Sun Apr 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure --solv-cache-dir points to the same base directory as --cache-dir. Without this setup the cookie cache gets lost inside the chroot and thus repositories with credentials might fail the authentication
Sun Apr 7 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed loop name collision in isofrom mode
Sat Apr 6 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use kiwi_cowdevice and kiwi_cowsystem instead of kiwi_cowfile the used colon as separator conflicts with the by-id names
Sat Apr 6 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed ctor test for improper LVM2 volume name
Fri Apr 5 14:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - allow both parted gpt_sync_mbr table type and the gptsync program. if gptsync is installed it will take over precedence
Tue Apr 2 14:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - allow lxc as a value for the packages type attribute to support container specific package specification
Sat Mar 30 13:00:00 2013 bernhardoutAATTlsmod.de - reduce duplicate code
Thu Mar 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - call syncGPT only if partedTableType is gpt
Thu Mar 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix for 12.3 openNebula examples: + grub2-branding has to stay installed inside the initrd + no theme was selected
Thu Mar 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure splash is deactivated for any dialogs displayed while inside the kiwi initrd (bnc #812099)
Wed Mar 27 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fixup the openNebula example for 12.3 - use grub2 as bootloader - switch the branding packages - fixup the custom firstboot procedure to avoid an error
Wed Mar 27 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed checkmedia call if used in hybrid disk mode. in this mode a disk partition device was passed instead of the entire disk device (bnc #804160)
Mon Mar 25 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - moved the check for the Amazon EC2 toolkit after the check for the credentials. If no or not enough credentials are provided the bundling is skipped and that\'s not an error. Thus it\'s ok to miss ec2-bundle-image at that point so the check needs to be done after successfully checking for the pre-conditions
Mon Mar 25 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed addBootEFILive function to work for 32bit ISO\'s + the boot path was hardcoded to boot/x86_64. With this patch the path to the bootloader files is searched
Fri Mar 22 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - follow up to driver data migration into new XML data structure + implement KIWIProfileFile class to represent data in the .profile file. This class allows us to gradually move data that is processed in the XML changeset and ends up in .profile without duplicating code in other places - remove attempt to write kiwi_luks to the .profile file + kiwi_luks is not used, no longer needed - add diffutils as build requires + diff needed by new unit tests - unit tests for new code
Thu Mar 21 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.6 released
Thu Mar 21 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value
Thu Mar 21 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - run XML validator on the code
Thu Mar 21 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed changelog build helper to correctly indent sub entries starting with a \'+\' or \' *\' prefix
Wed Mar 20 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - add unit test for syncMBR attribute
Wed Mar 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added attribute syncMBR in the type element to activate the MBR synchronisation into the GPT for efi images
Wed Mar 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed calculation of inode number if no XML size is set in this case the variable contains the value \'auto\' and this can\'t be used in numeric expressions
Wed Mar 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure zImage kernels for arm gets detected
Wed Mar 20 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - add support for EC2 AP-Sydney region
Wed Mar 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed calculation of inode number in KIWIBoot constructor for vmx images which requested a specific size in the XML description it\'s required to calculate the inode count from the specified size and not from the size of the of the unpacked root tree. If the requested image size is much bigger than the unpacked root tree it might happen that we run out of inodes very soon in the later image
Wed Mar 20 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - v5.05.5 released
Wed Mar 20 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix build of split image type + regression introduced by restructuring effort, commit 853e6fc3
Wed Mar 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typos and white space errors
Wed Mar 20 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - implement ImageBuilder for tar archives (KIWITarArchiveBuilder) + remove createImageTar from KIWIImage class + update the Factory to return the new builder type + update ImageCreator + update triggers + implement new unit tests
Tue Mar 19 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - update build and runtime requirements + add rsync as build requires, new test uses code path that requires rsync + add perl-Digest as build requires and requires, new test generates a checksum - add code to handle absence of /proc/mounts + this is useful when working in a local osc sandbox with osc chroot where /proc/mounts does not exist
Tue Mar 19 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - move all the driver handling in the XML from the old data model to the new data model
* remove addDrivers_legacy
* remove getDriversNodeList_legacy
* remove the driversNodeList class member
Tue Mar 19 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - allow option for KIWIManager *::setupUpgrade() to operate in a mode which checks only for the requested package transactions and allow to skip the dist upgrade. This mode is used in the kiwi --create step to prevent auto dist upgrades which should only happen if kiwi --upgrade is called
Mon Mar 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed copyBootCode and suseGFXBoot to be more generic with regards to the different u-boot img/bin files
Mon Mar 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - create aarch64 link to boot images. Currently this points to the same boot description files used for armv7 and armv5
Mon Mar 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure splash stays on screen when in oem-silentboot mode
Mon Mar 18 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - apply new method naming convention, use p_ as prefix for \"protected\" methods
Mon Mar 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use grub2 modules from host system if not found in initrd + instead enable/disable support according to stages (BIOS/EFI) + print better error message in case of missing required stages + allow plain BIOS, plain EFI and EFI+BIOS setup
Mon Mar 18 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - improve the KIWI *Builder framework + rename the ImageBuilder class to ImageBuilderBase to indicate base class status of the implementation + rename methods according to naming convention + add checksum creation capabilities to the ImageBuilderBase class - add method to execute images.sh explicitly to the Image class + the image class will transition to only represent the unpacked image. The new methods executes images.sh in the unpacked image tree + fixup the destructor to avoid \"uninitialized\" messages from Perl if object creation fails - improve the container build + run images.sh file + create a checksum for the container file - add naming convention to the developer documentation - fix up the pre-commit hook script to deal with file removal or renames. When moving/renaming or renaming a file, git still presents the old file name as \"changed\" previously this would break the code checking the modified files. Compile errors, registration errors, and perlcritic errors would be generated - add entry to container configuration file indicating device handling. This is lxc version dependent and kiwi does not know the host where the container is deployed, thus we cannot add the setting to the configuration without guard - create unit tests for the ImageBuilderBase class - create a rudimentary unit test for the Image class
Mon Mar 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed stage directory check for grub2
Mon Mar 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure profile information is used in all kiwi modes
Mon Mar 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed call of undefined subroutine &KIWIGlobals::qxx
Mon Mar 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added option --force-bootstrap in combination with --recycle-root in the kiwi modes --prepare and/or --create. When using a base tree with --recycle-root kiwi normally skips the bootstrapping part because that data should all be part of the base tree. If the tree is not complete in this regard, e.g missing zypper one can now enforce the bootstrapping phase to be called.
Sun Mar 17 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed directory creation in KIWIImageCreator. the profile information was stored in a variable which was not used
Sun Mar 17 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in function name
Sat Mar 16 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - make the methods of the XML data base class public + brings code into allignment with other OO use in other langauges + the base class nature is indicated by the name
Fri Mar 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for hybrid EFI disk images based on gptsync.
* if gptsync is installed an MBR is added to the GPT table
* this allows to boot plain vmx images via legacy BIOS and EFI
* this allows to boot oem disk via legacy BIOS and EFI The repartition code of an EFI oem will overwrite the MBR placed by gptsync. Thus the kiwi initrd tries to re-add the information by calling syncGPT. The funtion requires the presence of gptsync and sfdisk inside the kiwi initrd. Both tools are not part of the kiwi initrd by default
* this allows to boot oem install media via legacy BIOS and EFI oem install media are install ISOs and install sticks
* please note placing an MBR into the GPT is outside of the EFI standard. It might happen that an EFI firmware refuse to boot a system which includes a MBR inside the GPT. Thus gptsync support should be seen as experimental
Fri Mar 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.4 released
Fri Mar 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed unit test: kiwiContainerBuilder + the test used the getArch() function from the global space this function turns any 32bit arch name into \'ix86\' but the container builder code uses the value from \'uname -m\' in the generateBuildImageName() function and thus the arch value used here is like \'i686\'. Therefore the unit test will fail on all 32bit x86 architectures
Fri Mar 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.3 released
Fri Mar 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed package build, lxc is required for unit testing
Fri Mar 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.2 released
Thu Mar 14 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getSingleInstSourceSatSolvable() in terms of pattern handling. the function stores projectxml always with the the suffix .gz which indicates a compressed version of the file. But the patterns information file could also contain a non compressed version of patterns.xml which is then wrongly used as compressed file
Wed Mar 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - the btrfsctl utility is deprecated and will be removed soon There was one code path in kiwi which needs to be adapted to understand both btrfs and btrfsctl (bnc #808962)
Tue Mar 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setup of selectedProfiles information. The way it was done before possibly overwrites information provided on the commandline
Tue Mar 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added openSUSE 12.3 boot and JeOS templates for armv7
Mon Mar 11 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - more robust code: + getStorageSize, returns an error if device is not present + retry of partition creation no longer endless
Mon Mar 11 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - removed unused function getRemovableUSBStorageDevices()
Mon Mar 11 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use kpartx sync mode to make sure devices are created on return of the call
Mon Mar 11 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure writeTester gets installed
Fri Mar 8 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - added tests/writeTester for XML import/export tests
Fri Mar 8 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - handle repositories in the new data structure + remove legacy methods for repository handling ~ getHttpsRepositoryCredentials_legacy ~ getRepositories_legacy ~ ignoreRepositories_legacy ~ setRepository_legacy ~ addRepositories_legacy + modify CommandLine object to handle KIWIXMLRepositoryData objects instead of handle arrays of disconnected repository data + modify the command line processor (kiwi.pl) to create KIWIXMLRepositoryData objects + eliminate the repository processing from the changeset that is used to modify the boot description. The information is still in the changeset but is no longer considered
Thu Mar 7 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed checks for already mounted system filesystems - fixed race condition in bindDiskPartitions, kpartx returns early and sometimes before the devices in /dev/mapper were created
Wed Mar 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Tue Mar 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed getOperatingSystemVersion() in KIWIMigrate. Use the /etc/products.d/baseproduct information to find the OS name
Tue Mar 5 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - rename the getImageType method on the KIWIXMLTypeData object The name had an unfortunate overlap with the same name on the XML class
Tue Mar 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed oem-silent-install and oem-silent-verify options. They were not evaluated in __updateDescriptionFromChangeSet_legacy
Tue Mar 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - eliminate getImageVersion_legacy method from XML
Tue Mar 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - integrate KIWIImageBuilder approach better: + move __getBaseWorkingDir, __createWorkingDir, __cleanupWorkingDir and __getBaseWorkingDir into the KIWIContainerBuilder. They are specific to the creation of lxc containers + delete __provideResults from KIWIImageBuilder. what happens with the result belongs to KIWIImageCreator not to the plain builder + add __createBuildDir to the KIWIImageBuilder constructor. the creation of the intermediate build directory is done by the base class for all image builds. The result of the build is created there + integrate KIWIImageBuildFactory better into the KIWIImageCreator the first build is based on KIWIImageBuildFactory. If the image can\'t be build by this factory the image is build calling a creation function from the KIWIImage space. In the future more and more image creation code will be moved from KIWIImage to KIWIImageBuildFactory + format creation, build result archiving and move of result into user specified target directory applies to a successfull build no matter if it was done by the KIWIImageBuildFactory or by a image creation function from the KIWIImage space + adapt unit tests
Tue Mar 5 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - return an array ref from the createImage method + the array contains the files created by the builder. This will help us to eliminate the glob copy in the ImageCreator in the future
Mon Mar 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure all USB host controller drivers will become included by mkinitrd (bnc #805053)
Mon Mar 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Mon Mar 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - if secure boot is enabled it\'s required to tell that in /etc/default/grub to make grub2-mkconfig produce correct results
Sun Mar 3 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - allow the user to hide the install and verify ncurses progress dialogs during OEM image installation, needed by Tyco (bnc #791291) + implement oem-silent-install and oem-silent-verify elements both are childeren of oemconfig
Fri Mar 1 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed grub2 setup for older distros which packages into lib/grub2-efi
Thu Feb 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed KIWILinuxRC::installBootLoaderGrub2() + install grub2 only in BIOS mode, in EFI mode this doesn\'t make sense + make sure the grub2 config file also lands on the EFI (fat) partition when in UEFI mode the precompiled and signed grub.efi image searches there for the configuration
Wed Feb 27 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed UEFI bootloader setup for grub2 based disk images + fixed creation of image install CDs in EFI mode + call findAndCopyMagicBlock only if hybrid is requested
Tue Feb 26 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - implement support to build an image that runs as lxc container + add \"lxc\" as accepted value to image attribute + add container attribute to element, this attribute is required for container building + create consistency check for container type + must have container attribute + container attribute value must be composed of word characters + container build must include lxc packsge (runtime check) + unit tests + implement processing of new attributes in the XML code + unit tests - implement KIWIContainerConfigWriter + this class writes the configuration file and fstab file for a container + it is a child of KIWIConfigWriter + unit tests - implement KIWIConfigWriter + base class for configuration file writers, at present it only has the container writer as a child. This class will help us to separate the code for other image types that have configuration file (ovf, vmware, xen) and create individual classes that are focused on only one thing - implement KIWIConfigWriterFactory + factory class that hands out a *ConfigWriter objects based on the image type or image format being built + unit tests - implement KIWIContainerBuilder + this class is responsible for the image creation for a container image only createImage is public and implements the creation procedure + is a child of KIWIImageBuilder + unit tests - implement KIWIImageBuilder + base class for all *Builder classes, at present it only has the container builder as a child. This class will help us to peal apart the creation of various image types currently implemented in a tangle in KIWIImage and KIWIImageCreator - implement KIWIImageBuildFactory + factory class that hands out *Builder objects based on the image type + unit tests - integrate the new build infrastructure code into the image creation process for lxc containers - add directory exist method to test case - create container example for openSUSE 12.3 and 12.2 - examples + fix the text in the 12.3 examples to refer to 12.3, not 12.2 + all network configurations, 12.2 and 13.3, STARTMODE value \'onboot\' is no longer supported, changed to \'auto\' - add a chapter to the documentation providing information about the new container image type
Tue Feb 26 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added network drivers and nfs stack to isoboot for openSUSE 12.3. This allows to boot live ISO\'s via pxe as explained in (bnc #805771)
Tue Feb 26 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - changed isofrom feature: + splitted information provided in isofrom into two parts isofrom_device= and isofrom_system= the two were set in common and seperated by a colon before. This caused trouble when the colon is part of the device information + added support for ISO from NFS (bnc #805771) isofrom_device=nfs::
Tue Feb 26 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation
Tue Feb 26 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update. wrote about the different union mount methods for pxe
Mon Feb 25 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added vmxFlavour-uefi and xenFlavour-uefi profiles to the suse-SLE11-JeOS template image description. Given that SLE11 SP3 is used these profiles can be used to build UEFI images based on grub2
Fri Feb 22 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed cleanMount function to work if $root dir can\'t be created. It might happen that at that point kiwi already mounted some stuff which can be released via cleanMount but cleanMount returned if no $root location was created.
Fri Feb 22 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of KIWICache object, was missing the xml pointer
Fri Feb 22 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed default value for virtualHW version
Thu Feb 21 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure the openSUSE 12.3 JeOS set the correct console based systemd target and fix some typos in config.sh too
Thu Feb 21 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed default systemd target setup, baseSetRunlevel function a systemd target is not a number but something like multi-user.target or graphical.target
Wed Feb 20 13:00:00 2013 adrianAATTsuse.de - fix iso creation for non-EFI medias again
Wed Feb 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure GRUB_TERMINAL is set in etc/default grub to make yast bootloader happy. if yast can\'t find this setting it switches to \'console\' which deactivates the graphical grub2 console (bnc #804725)
Wed Feb 20 13:00:00 2013 adrianAATTsuse.de - fix product media creation for non-x86_64 when EFI boot support is enabled (bnc #804428)
Wed Feb 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in function comment, still talking about opensusePattern instead of namedCollection
Wed Feb 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - move from opensusePattern to namedCollection in KIWIMigrate
Wed Feb 20 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added missing setup of etc/sysconfig/bootloader setup for grub2 - fixed possible duplicate entries for quiet and splash= in etc/default/grub
Tue Feb 19 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - KIWIISOLinux fixes: + added addBootEFILive magic block creation to the source media KIWICollect code too + extend magic block lookup in findAndCopyMagicBlock() from 2 to 8 files and from 4 to 8 blocks (bnc #804428)
Tue Feb 19 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - create a kiwi-test package + install the test code in the install directive + change permission on the test drivers to eliminate RPM lint warning + add filter to hide the test .kiwirc file warning
Mon Feb 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value in KIWIConfigure
Mon Feb 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - switch back to firmware=\'bios\' and print a warning if uefi is requested on another than the x86_64 architecture. on SUSE we provide signed loaders and kernels for x86_64 only
Mon Feb 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - secure boot grub commands are linuxefi and initrdefi fix this also for oem disk images
Mon Feb 18 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed building of i386-efi (32bit) live EFI iso images
Sun Feb 17 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - check for grub2 conf tool name before using it. with openSUSE 12.3 the grub2-efi-... tool chain was removed thus kiwi needs to check this before calling the mkconfig command
Sun Feb 17 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - better logging messages for framebuffer device setup and initrd creation for reboot of the system by either dracut or mkinitrd
Sun Feb 17 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - increased default boot partition size to 200MB (+50M) the plymouth splash data is huge. Just to give an example 12.2 SUSE plymouth theme data is ~3M, 12.3 SUSE plymouth theme data is about 23M. That blows up the initrd and needs more space on the boot partition
Sun Feb 17 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure temporary config.lxc is removed after execution
Sun Feb 17 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - remove the and elements from the schema these elements are replaced by the new element - update all XML files to the latest schema version (5.7)
Sun Feb 17 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - EFI/UEFI fixes according to standard
* EFI/BOOT is required instead of efi/boot
* eltorito alternative loader path must be boot//efi
* secure boot grub commands are linuxefi and initrdefi
* check for 64bit or 32bit efi module
Sun Feb 17 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - KIWICollect install media package collector fixes
* pass all needed arguments to the KIWIIsoLinux constructor
* set logfile to terminal
Sun Feb 17 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix the openSUSE 12.3 examples, add module-init-tools to bootstrap package list
Sun Feb 17 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - use the localectl and datetimectl implementations provided by systemd to set the configuration + short circuit the suseConfig function in the shell code if localectl exists + implement the configuration in Perl code, now all configuration settings are implemented in the same class + remove the call to suseConfig in the config.sh files of our examples - clean up the KIWIConfigure implementation to critic level 3 - add deprecation message to the old implementation
Fri Feb 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - systemd related fixes causing the first boot to hang
* setupConsole should not run at all in case of systemd
* systemd has been moved to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd thus /bin/systemd is now a link and that causes several bash test calls to fail
* quit plymouth inside the initrd if the system image doesn\'t have plymouth installed
* make debugging plymouth problems more easy by evaluating the options plymouth.enable and/or rd.plymouth like the mkinitrd scripts does it
Fri Feb 15 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - systemd has been moved to /usr/lib/systemd with openSUSE 12.3 thus the function baseSetRunlevel() needs to address old and new location
Fri Feb 15 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - remove the getImageName_legacy method from the code base
Thu Feb 14 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - add critic exception for the _new_instance private method in all singletons. + The method is called from the base class only and thus does not appear to be called when perlcritic parses the code. - convert the Locator to a singleton + the locator holds no state and we really only need one per kiwi invocation
Wed Feb 13 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t trigger udev device creation in pre-init. All devices are already there due to the initial start of udev. This could cause a hangup on first boot of the appliance
Tue Feb 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t rely on boot.device-mapper init script, load device mapper module manually when needed
Tue Feb 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed start/stop of udev in pre-init. while using sysV init it was possible to run a startup script without a running init process. With systemd you cannot really run a service when systemd does not run
Tue Feb 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed corrupted fbiterm fonts for openSUSE 12.3 (bnc #803276)
Tue Feb 12 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - implement writeXML method in XML class + write an xml file based on the data in the data structure - do not write data to the generated XML if a default value was set programmatically - add a \"namedCollection\" element to the XML + this is in preparation for the removal of opensusePattern and rhelGroup + the KIWIXMLPackageCollection class already writes the element as there is no way to differentiate one collection from the other vs. . Therefore, the schema has to support the new element name prior to the old collection names being removed. - alpha sort the element declarations in the schema + benign change, but it aides XML code development - kiwi now depends on File::Slurp - implement a writeTest script that can be used to verify that round tripping of XML data works - create a sample config.xml file for round trip testing
Tue Feb 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use global variable kernel_cmdline to store paramters passed to the linuxrc/init script and don\'t hand them over via sub-functions
Tue Feb 12 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - suppress cpio blocks message to stderr
Sat Feb 9 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - ignore empty directories in the migration report. the migrate code checks the unmanaged directories and remove them from the data hash if they are empty on the system. Additionally the path which ends up in an empty directory is searched backwards to find other empty directories in the unmanaged data hash which appears due to the removal of deeper empty directories
Fri Feb 8 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use mcopy to create efi structure in vfat image.
Fri Feb 8 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - increased the vfat container image to be big enough to hold additional efi modules like the shim
Fri Feb 8 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed import of shim and grub efi modules. They are packaged as links to usr/lib/grub2/xxx-efi thus moving data from this directory will destroy the link target. We\'d better copy it - also allow integration of shim-opensuse key. If no Microsoft signed key is present we check if an opensuse key exists
Fri Feb 8 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure shim package is part of the boot image for iso vmx and oem image types starting with openSUSE >= 12.3. The sim package contains the Microsoft signed efi module which is the entry point for UEFI secure boot
Fri Feb 8 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - improved genDevDoc script:
* improve the file processing routine, use only one loop
* general code cleanliness improvements
* implement DAG generation
Thu Feb 7 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed search path for UEFI signed shim.efi and grub.efi
Thu Feb 7 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added support for D3 data visualisation for custom files in kiwi migration report. The report shows a nice collapsable tree view of the unmanaged files/directories
Thu Feb 7 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - print warning if installed isohybrid does not support EFI
Thu Feb 7 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - search for the grub2 mkimage tool. the tool has been renamed in openSUSE 12.3 thus we have to find it and can\'t rely on the name
Thu Feb 7 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure module-init-tools is part of the bootstrap list for openSUSE 12.3 images. Otherwise kmod-compat ist installed which is incompatible with the kernel packages and causes a zypper provides error
Wed Feb 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed search path for grub2 EFI modules. in openSUSE 12.2 grub2-efi was packaged in a way that the modules were installed to /usr/lib/grub2-efi/x86_64-efi. In openSUSE 12.3 the packaging has changed and the modules are now installed to /usr/lib/grub2/x86_64-efi, really a brilliant idea
Wed Feb 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repo setup in KIWIXMLInfo mode, the code there still needs the setRepository_legacy() call
Wed Feb 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed call to undefined function setGlobals(). This was renamed into setKiwiConfigData()
Wed Feb 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure KIWIMigrate writes latest version of the XML schema
Wed Feb 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - remove autoyastClone function/feature from KIWIMigrate this feature did not work well and it\'s also not maintained by yast at the moment
Wed Feb 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value in KIWIMigrate
Wed Feb 6 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added function createCustomHybridPersistent() which allows to provide the cmdline variable \'kiwi_cowfile=device:/path/to/cowfile\' If kiwi get this information it uses the file as container for persistent writing for hybrid iso images. If this information is not present the standard case applies, which is kiwi tries to create a new partition device for persistent writing. In combination with the isofrom feature the kiwi_cowfile approach is useful
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - generate KIWI Class API documentation and cross references
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.05.01 released
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - DB: rebuild documentation for version change
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - netboot: following is required for (fate #314413) and (fate #314414) + add support for SERVERTYPE=local for fetchFile and putFile. the SERVER variable then points to a local directory + use locally cached MD5 file if it has the same checksum as the remote file, this is enabled by setting KIWI_LOCAL_CACHE_DIR Setting of these variables will be handled in SLEPOS specific hooks.
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.38 released
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value in setupBTRFS
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use ext4 filesystem for clic\'ed live iso\'s
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - use grub2 as bootloader for xen on openSUSE 12.2 JeOS too
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed return value of KIWIImageFormat::createFormat. If no format is specified, e.g on xen we need only the format configuration, this is just a warning, thus the return value of the function should not indicate an error
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed update of machine section in case of a xen dom0 setup the vmdisk entry is mandatory now thus the section has to provide it
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setup of build type in KIWIXML constructor. While testing I found that e.g the format conversion failed because there was no machine section found. But for the selected type and profile there was a machine section specified. The KIWIXML::setBuildType function was never called thus the default type applies which was of type iso and there no machine section existed.
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized values in KIWIBoot.pm while in kiwi\'s format conversion mode
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - added \'skipit\' to the list of supported archs. I\'m a bit unhappy with this change but I didn\'t see a better way to fix the arch check. In fact \'skipit\' is not an architecture but for product building this architecture flag is used to indicate noarch rpm packages. In kiwi we check all arch values by one function KIWIXMLFileData::__isSupportedArch(), thus \'skipit\' needs to be part of the list. The more clean fix would be to have two arch checking functions one for image building (real arch check) and one for product building (DVD source media). In order to keep the risk of regressions low I decided for the fast and easy way but we should have in mind that we can do better here.
Tue Feb 5 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - make sure dbus machine-id is unique
Mon Feb 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed search and call code for editbootconfig and editbootinstall evaluation when building iso images, live and install media
Mon Feb 4 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix the message for the init argument hash presence + the log facility is a singleton and is no longer passed as argument, thus the initialization hash argument is always expected as the first argument.
Mon Feb 4 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - remove unused code + getTypes_legacy method was no longer called
Mon Feb 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fix architecture handling for ProductPackages, allow a comma separated list of architectures also in the runtime checker function __isSupportedArch()
Mon Feb 4 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - add trigger for schema changes + run all tests that use an xml file when the schema changes
Mon Feb 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - check for the existence of a the service file before activating/deactivating a systemd service
Mon Feb 4 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of KIWI * instances in KIWICollect
Sun Feb 3 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed KIWICollect constructor. The code there did not make use of the singleton KIWILog object and still expects the first parameter to be the log reference
Sun Feb 3 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - implement getBootImageDescription method in locator + will eventually replace normalizeBootPath in KIWIURL. Implement search hierarchy for boot image description search that is more easily understood by users. - implement unit tests for new functionality
Fri Feb 1 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - eliminate getOVFConfig_legacy - remove des_cpu and des_memory attributes + des_cpu == ncpus and des_memory == memory we do not need 2 attributes to describe the same value + fix typo of ovfformat name, it is \"powervm\" not \"povervm\" + the schema version did NOT change thus users must fix the config file manually if they used \"des_cpu\", \"des_memory\", and \"povervm\" - implement writing of configured information into the .ovf configuration file + memory and limits + cpu and limits + devices - fix link bug + the image file in the .ovf directoy was a dangling link as the link created was not pointing to the proper location - update the tests to account for the removed attributes - fix typo in method name \"...Machine...\" not \"...Maschine...\"
Fri Feb 1 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - clean up the kiwi debug mode which collects trace information about the perl caller stack. There is now a singleton module called KIWITrace which stores the backtrace. Thus this also removes the last main:: global variables from the kiwi space
Fri Feb 1 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - follow up fix for the use vs. require change in the Singleton objects KIWILog and KIWIGlobals. If one of the modules included by require contains a use statement of the Singleton object we again got warnings about redefined functions
Thu Jan 31 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - eliminate getVMwareConfig_legacy + incorporate default setting for guestOS into XMLVMachineData + drop all other mappings for guestOS, this is the user\'s responsibility - fix VMWare NIC setup bug + previously the generated config file (.vmx) did not contain information about the specified MAC address. The MAC was always set to \"generated\" ignoring the user specified data.
Thu Jan 31 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - use require instead of use to include other modules in the Singleton classes. when using the \"use\" syntax for modules the perl compiler interrupts the compilation of the current module and starts compiling the module declared in the use statement. If the included module then includes the singleton perl issues \'Subroutine foo redefined\' messages. As the compilation of of the original module was interrupted it is not finished and thus not recorded in the lookup table. Delaying the loading to runtime with the require function avoids the warning.
Thu Jan 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.37 released
Thu Jan 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed __checkVMscsiCapable() runtime check, it\'s ok to have no machine section. That one broke the containment builds for SUSE Studio
Thu Jan 31 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.36 released
Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.35 released
Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of JSON tree in KIWIMigrate
Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - fix the isohybrid checks + previous implementation did not properly account for conditions that trigger the isohybrid code path + add error condition for architectures that do not support the creation of iso hybrids + update the tests accordingly
Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - worked on the visualization of unmanaged data in KIWIMigrate. I\'d like to use the d3 visualization framework and that requires the data as JSON data structure. I implemented a method to create that information but ran into JSON max nesting level problems
Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - partially revert (eff68ab8de60). The fstool runtime is ok just the test case XML in liveIsoImg/efiOEM/config.xml would force the xfs tools to be installed which I think is not really necessary for this test
Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.34 released
Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of undefined value in writeImageConfig
Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - I removed the runtime check for xfs and reiserfs. reiserfs is more or less dead and xfs is a pure optional filesystem. If we have a mandatory check for xfs kiwi has to require the tools package on the package and on the build level which I think is not required. imho it would also be better to change the fstool runtime check to check only for the selected filesystem and not the complete list. We cannot expect our users to install all filesystem tools
Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - build require e2fsprogs to allow unit tests to pass
Tue Jan 29 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - remove the getRPM *_legacy methods use the new API
Tue Jan 29 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - only require the uefi isohybrid command line option when building a EFI/UEFI iso + at present the uefi command line option on the isohybrid executable is treated as mandatory. This breaks all ISO builds on systems that do not have the latest isohybrid tool even if the ISO to be created is not designated as an efi/uefi ISO via the firmware attribute. The changes treat the uefi command line option as optional. A runtime check ensures that kiwi exits if the uefi command line option is required and the tool does not support it. - new runtime check and test cases
Tue Jan 29 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - fixed firmware check to allow uefi as well
Tue Jan 29 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - grubcd.efi has been moved to grub.efi in the latest grub2 packages. Thus we have to follow the change
Mon Jan 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - some cleanup in KIWIMigrate.pm, tested d3 data visualization
Mon Jan 28 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - make KIWIGlobals a singleton + eliminates another package variable in kiwi.pl + add the singleton to the doc + allows us to make the remainaing test cases packages, now critic 2 clean - rename methods getGlobals and setGlobals + reflect in name the data that is being returned/set getKiwiConfig, setKiwiConfigData - some general code consistency clean up
Mon Jan 28 13:00:00 2013 msAATTsuse.de - v5.04.33 released
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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - fix the UserData tests broken by previous update adding merge code
Tue Jan 22 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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_schrAATTweb.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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - fix the description + RuntimeChecker test failed due to conflicting settings in the config
Fri Jan 11 13:00:00 2013 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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_paladuguAATTdell.com - make sure rhelStripInitrd arguments are passed correctly
Thu Dec 6 13:00:00 2012 rneuhauserAATTsuse.cz - 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_paladuguAATTdell.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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_paladuguAATTdell.com - 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 delgadoAATTpre-sense.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.com - 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.com - 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.com - add spaces to separate option arguments
Mon Nov 12 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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

* getBootIncludeArchives
* getBootIncludePackages
* getBootstrapPackages
* getPackages
* getPackagesToDelete
* getProducts - the and are treated equally as a package collection - update unit tests for XML
* 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
Fri Nov 9 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - some clean up, typos, remove unused code
Fri Nov 9 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added tar to 12.2 JeOS
Thu Nov 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - add support for grub2 based recovery system

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
Wed Nov 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed cleanKernelFSMount() to use the correct root path
Wed Nov 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for reading /etc/kiwi/repoalias file in KIWIURL.pm. The repoalias definition can be used to mirror a repo path to another location (bnc #788536)
Wed Nov 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - SuSEconfig is gone, call it only if it exists
Tue Nov 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed schema for bootfilesystem attribute, attribute was not set into the attribute list in the RelaxNG schema
Tue Nov 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - added support for optional type attribute \'bootfilesystem\' which can be one of ext2,ext3,fat16 or fat32 (bnc #788374) - added unit test for new attribute
Tue Nov 6 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - update pre-commit hook

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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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

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.com - 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.com - 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 toganmAATTopensuse.org - 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

Fri Oct 19 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed resizeFilesystem() function:
* 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

* 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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
Mon Oct 15 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup volume size calculation to be more readable
Mon Oct 15 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed broken symlink when creating tbz images

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

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.cz - 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\"

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)

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

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

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

Wed Aug 15 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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

Sun Aug 12 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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

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)

Sat Jul 28 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - add new object KIWIXMLDescriptionData which provides get/set methods for the element
Wed Jul 18 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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
Thu Jul 12 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - follow up spec file fix, list grub2-branding-openSUSE only for suse version > 12.1 in the media requires

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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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 toganmAATTopensuse.org - 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.cz - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - add profile handling verification to the package and type unit tests
Thu Jun 21 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - clean the unit test implementations to perlcritic level 4
Wed Jun 13 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - add Environment variable to allow tests that require network access to be skipped in OBS
Tue Jun 12 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - unit test for prefer-license attribute setting unique requirement
Thu Jun 7 14:00:00 2012 dmajdaAATTsuse.cz - 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.com - 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.com - unit test for getRepoNodeList
Wed Jun 6 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - add unit tests for repo handling in the XML object
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - add info message when repositories are being ignored
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - added unit tests for:
* getStripNodeList() method of XML object
* getConfigName() method of XML object
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - comment out variable that is only used for debug printing
Tue Jun 5 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - unit test for new element
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - DB: rebuild documentation: include info about new XML element
Mon Jun 4 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - unit test for XML object user data storage
Sat Jun 2 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - add unit tests for XML getStrip * methods
Wed May 30 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - make the getStripFileList of the XML object \"private\", this is an internal helper method and should not be called from other KIWI modules

Fri May 25 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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

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

Thu May 17 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - remove superfluous () for variable declaration
Thu May 17 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - unit tests for preference settings
Thu May 3 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - unit tests for the getPXEDeploy * methods
Thu Apr 26 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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

Sat Apr 21 14:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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 winterAATTpre-sense.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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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
Sat Mar 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure libkmod stays in the initrd
Sat Mar 31 14:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure solver problems 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.com - 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

Tue Mar 6 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.com - 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)

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

* 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

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.com - fix improper call off stripImage() - fix some cosmetic issues

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)

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.com - 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

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

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.com - 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

* 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.com - 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.

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 - v5.02.3 released

Wed Jan 4 13:00:00 2012 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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.

Mon Dec 19 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for arm based images with kiwi
* 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
* added support for uboot loader

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.com - 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 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

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.com - 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 - 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 - wait a second before rereading the partition table in initGeometry
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)

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

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 - 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)

Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - 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 - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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.com - 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

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

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 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)

Sat Oct 15 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make searchBiosBootDevice more robust. The function probes for the boot device until found and does not expect all storage devices to be present at call time. 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.com - revamp the EC2 chapter, include instructions for using EBS, restructure organization
Sat Oct 15 14:00:00 2011 rjschweiAATTsuse.com - change ec2region values to match reported regions from ec2-describe-regions comand, AP-Japan -> AP-Northeast, AP-Singapore -> AP-Southeast, change schema version to 5.3 to reflect the value change, implement xml convert from 5.2 to 5.3, update the tests and validation

Thu Oct 13 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fetchFile does not handle special characters consistently. fetchFile \"some%20file\" with atftp correctly downloads \'some%20file\'. but with ftp curl converts the file name to \'some file\', which is not expected. This patch fixes this and makes the behavior consistent

Tue Oct 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed obsolete files from the suse-11.3 examples
Tue Oct 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added preException hook which runs inside the systemExcpetion function to allow further tasks before the exception message is printed and the shell/reboot/wait action happens
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.

Mon Oct 10 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added a workaround for the cylinder counting bug in parted. parted lists two different numbers for the amount of cylinders only one is correct. This patch uses the correct value displayed here. parted only shows different values if called on a loop device
Sun Oct 9 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make suse-live-stick a real image example directory and not a link to the live iso description. This also fixes the upgrade problem between versions were suse-live-stick was a directory and the one were it is provided as a link (bnc #722452)

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)

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

Mon Jun 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added network functions for s390 pxeboot. New functions are setupNetworkInterfaceS390, setupNetworkStatic, setupDefaultGateway setupDNS. 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. This could lead to the use of an uninitialized value if no primary type was set in the XML description and no type was explicitly selected
Wed Jun 22 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - changed 01-network.sh preinit script for s390 templates to use the same variable names as provided by the parm file when using the standard yast based installation

Mon Jun 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed thisPath() evaluation. When in create or upgrade mode the function did not use the value of the main::Prepare lookup file
Mon Jun 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - Apply some clean up to the recently submitted OpenNebula example. I made some changes to the packaging in OBS which allows me to simplify the image configuration.
Thu Jun 16 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed build on Centos/Redhat, recommended packages like jing or zypper does not exist there so we had to check the distro in that case
Thu Jun 16 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed the patternType validation bug reported by John Lund on the users list. The patch also adds a new test case xml file for the KIWIXMLValidator unit test.
Thu Jun 16 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added a new example for 11.3, 11.4, and 12.1. This example demonstrates the use of Kiwi to create cloud setup images and a guest images for clouds based on the OpenNebula infrastructure.
Sun Jun 12 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.91.2 released
Sun Jun 12 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: fixed typo in URI documentation
Fri Jun 10 14:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de - we need to go back to SHA1 for SLE 11 for now, zypp is not working with 256 yet.
Fri Jun 10 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - use hardlink instead of copy to create the init file in the initrd cpio archive

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. The following rules should apply to the version number: major.minor.release. major change might include incompatible changes. minor change includes features and schema version updates. release change includes any kind of bugfixes

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 - call the XML pretty printer when kiwi writes back the XML description to the unpacked image tree. The result is easier to read
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
Tue May 31 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - allow username and password to be transfered via updateDescription / __updateDescriptionFromChangeSet
Tue May 31 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added option --start-sector to kiwi. This allows to influence the default start sector 2048 to be another value e.g. 32 for the old style disk layout.
Tue May 31 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed call of cleanup functions for KIWIBoot objects
Tue May 31 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - really fixed setupConsole to remove the ttyS0 console if no ttyS0 device exists (bnc #695948)
Tue May 31 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed build: Added zypper to BuildRequires. This is needed in order to make the unit test run happy

* CheckKernel
* LVM
* GrubChainload
* FatStorage
Thu May 26 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fix the problem with an improper exit status on test failure. We now use prove (part of Perl) to execute the unit tests. Prove generates the proper exit status upon test failure.
Wed May 25 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file: The functionality provided with the kiwi-desc-usbboot package has moved into a new technology which is not provided by another package. Therefore the wrong provides entry was removed.
Wed May 25 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - enhanced setupConsole to remove the ttyS0 console if no ttyS0 device exists (bnc #695948)

Fri May 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed obsoletes in spec file
Fri May 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - build arch of master kiwi can\'t be noarch if other arch specific sub packages will be created
Fri May 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make rpmlint happy:
* don\'t package empty files
* don\'t package non unix file (dos2unix)
* don\'t package scripts without executable flag
* 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 - fixed caching if used for boot images. Also fixed the check between the initial prepare with cache and the remount of a prepared tree with cache

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

Wed May 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - expand command line object to handle more options. Also expand the unit tests for this options. This happened in preparation to the new KIWIImageCreator object which will encapsulate the kiwi build, prepare and create modes
Wed May 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - move knowledge about the default cache directory path into the KIWILocator module: getDefaultCacheDir()
Wed May 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update unit test infrastructure in preparation for the new KIWIImageCreator object which will encapsulate the kiwi build, prepare and create modes
Tue May 10 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed this:// path evaluation if used in --info mode (bnc #692813)
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

Tue May 3 14:00:00 2011 rootAATTs390a06.suse.de - fixed disk offset calculation for zipl.conf creation, also fixed the lookup of the boot partition and the cleanup of the loop devices if the zipl bootloader is used (bnc #687927)
Tue May 3 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - switch back to by-id device name schema (bnc #691199) This reverts commit: f1e31c85689d6925b9c3069a845f5e252c838936
Tue May 3 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed first type selection for a subset of types selected by profiles. This is a follow up fix for (bnc #690554)
Tue May 3 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for FORCE_KEXEC in kernelCheck function which allows to force the kexec call even if the kernel versions are the same (bnc #691247)
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 28 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - also allow NFSROOT and AOEROOT to be set on the commandline (bnc #536309)
Thu Apr 21 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.87 released
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 - call setupBootPartition() only on first boot
Mon Apr 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added evaluation of kiwi_ramonly element for vmx too - added evaluation of kiwi_ramonly element for ppc and s390 arch - added evaluation of kiwi_ramonly element for non LVM setup
Mon Apr 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed subsequent mount procedure of a clicfs based image. The resize2fs call has to happen in any case if the image is a ramonly system
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.
Wed Apr 6 14:00:00 2011 mbarringerAATTsuse.de - Fixing a problem with imagewriter\'s makefile

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

Mon Apr 4 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed test_cmdReplaceRepo_noRepoType test, it\'s valid to overwrite first repo without specifying a type
Mon Apr 4 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - renamed the test implementation and data base directory to be consistent with other tests, i.e. start with kiwi
Sun Apr 3 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update spec file, added jing as recommended package
Sun Apr 3 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added unit tests for the new KIWIXMLInfo object. Also break up the bigger tests into smaller test cases
Sun Apr 3 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added a new KIWIXMLInfo object and eliminate the listXMLInfo() function from kiwi.pl
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 rootAATTs390a06.suse.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
Wed Mar 30 14:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de - do not replace AATT to . in package names when building products
Wed Mar 30 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed xen examples for suse 11.4, xen-tools-domU doesn\'t exist anymore. xen-tools is used instead
Tue Mar 29 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - dont\'t start udev using startproc (bnc #683126)
Tue Mar 29 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed boot path lookup if boot attribute contains an absolute path (bnc #683135)
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)
Wed Mar 23 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed format string of hexdump. If the mbrid has leading zero\'s the hexdump call removes them which leads to an error when string matching the mbrid
Wed Mar 23 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation, new option --mbrid
Wed Mar 23 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for a custom mbr disk label with the option --mbrid. The default is to create a random mbr disk label.
Tue Mar 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation, new info module \'version\'
Tue Mar 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added info \'version\' selection to obtain the appliance name and version information

Tue Mar 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - enable loading of agp modules before udev is started (bnc #659843)
Tue Mar 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - reverts commit 8f5df54fd23cc6c16e7d72fe5954e62fd70bb458 busybox is distributed with 11.4 (bnc #679660)
Mon Mar 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added suseStripFirmware() which removes all firmware files which are not referenced by any module (bnc #681234)
Mon Mar 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value in __checkPatternTypeAttrrValueConsistent
Mon Mar 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation, new attribute prefer-license
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 - fixed examples, added boot.local script to the suse-live-stick example which allows to mount the fat boot partition as data container below /media/stickstorage
Fri Mar 18 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed kiwirevision check. In case of a git revision it\'s invalid to check for less than a number. The check must match the revision
Fri Mar 18 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation, kiwirevision specifies a git commit id
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 - netboot: allow network boot in degraded raid mode (bnc #668014) - netboot: remove superblocks from raid disks if RAID has been dectivated in config. (bnc #668014)
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
Wed Mar 2 13:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de - export meta data location content keys for ftp tree medias

Fri Feb 25 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for --recycle-root option which allows to use and modify an existing root tree while in the kiwi prepare step.
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 - fixed -z test for RELOAD_CONFIG variable in netboot
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
Tue Feb 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.78 released

Tue Feb 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suse-min-gnome example, empty vmx package section doesn\'t make sense
Tue Feb 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed cleanup of shared memory segments and semaphores by a valid destructor in KIWISharedMem.pm
Tue Feb 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed regexp in __checkPatternTypeAttrConsistent()
Tue Feb 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed locale Makefile, wrong use of equals operator
Mon Feb 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.77 released

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

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

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 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

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

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

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()

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
Fri Nov 5 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added a command line argument to sepecify the default \'yes\' answer for questions which could come up during the build process
Fri Nov 5 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - changed partition layout of LVM based vmx/oem images. The boot partition is now the first partition and we will use only one partition for the entire LVM as second partition (bnc #651331)
Fri Nov 5 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed compare statement, in perl \'eq\' for strings must be used
Thu Nov 4 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added 11.4 JeOS to spec file
Thu Nov 4 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added templates and boot image descriptions for SuSE 11.4 - removed doc/examples/suse-11.1
Thu Nov 4 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed format conversion checks. iso type can\'t be converted
Thu Nov 4 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed checkLVMbind() function to activate volume groups before checking the device mapper nodes
Wed Nov 3 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed check for xvc/hvc consoles (bnc #650667)
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
Tue Nov 2 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - support multiple vmnic elements for VMware
Mon Nov 1 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the XFS filesystem
Mon Nov 1 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed the schema inplace dochint for the oem-dumphalt element - rebuild documentation
Mon Nov 1 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t let the recovery partition grow to the rest disk space available. This is not intended as the recovery partition should only be of the min size required to store the recovery data
Fri Oct 15 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.63 released - rebuild documentation - rebuild schema documentation
Fri Oct 15 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repartition code, out of bounds partitioning
Thu Oct 14 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added setupConsole() function to activate xvc and/or hvc consoles if their device nodes are present
Wed Oct 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed xenconfig creation, virtual framebuffer line wasn\'t written
Wed Oct 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suse-11.3/suse-xen-guest example by removing some old static sysconfig files. Also remove the boot.xen service script it\'s no longer required as we can use the xvc device for the console
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 rootAATTs390a06.suse.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
Tue Oct 12 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of VTOC table; close active device maps first
Mon Oct 11 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed spec file requirements, grub and clicfs only exists on ix86 and x86_64
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:
