Changelog for rear-asterisk-1.18.a-3.1.i586.rpm :
Wed May 25 14:00:00 2016 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- rear-asterisk is currently rear118a from SLE12-SP2-beta1
under a constant RPM package name \'rear-asterisk\' so that
there can be normal bugfix (maintenance) updates but also
version upgrades (even upgrades with incompatible changes)
without changing the RPM package name (in contrast to our
usual way how we provide rear version upgrades). This way
an installed version can get simply (but also accidentally)
replaced with another (possibly incompatible) version.
The meaning of \'asterisk\' is \'
*\' i.e. \'any version\'.
- Regarding our usual way to provide rear version upgrades:
For one product like SLE11 or SLE12 we provide several versions
in parallel so that users where version N does not support their
particular needs can upgrade to version M but on the other hand
users who have a working disaster recovery procedure with
version N do not need to upgrade. Therefore the package name
contains the version and all packages conflict with each other
to avoid that an installed version gets accidentally
replaced with another version.
- Regarding backward compatibility:
In general rear 1.18 should be backward compatible
down to rear 1.16 (but rear 1.10.0 is totally different
cf. the entry below dated \'Wed Jan 22 13:00:39 CET 2014\').
But there is no guarantee that it really works
backward compatible in any case.
And \"backward compatible\" does not mean that one can
use one same rear config file /etc/rear/local.conf
for different products and service packs and architectures.
Each product / service pack / architecture may require
its own specific adaptions in /etc/rear/local.conf.
In sufficiently simple cases one same /etc/rear/local.conf
might even work from SLE11 up to SLE12-SP2 when
on SLE12-SP2 the same filesystem layout and bootloader
is used as on SLE11 in particular when neither btrfs
nor UEFI is used.
I.e. when the basic SLE12-SP2 system is the same as the
basic SLE11 system, then the same /etc/rear/local.conf
should work.
In short: New SLE12 GA / SP1 / SP2 features require
new specific adaptions in /etc/rear/local.conf.
- Regarding version upgrades from older rear versions:
Users who use btrfs and upgrade from our SLE12-specific
RPM package \"rear116\" to a newer rear version must
manually adapt their /etc/rear/local.conf file
because excluding btrfs subvolumes via EXCLUDE_RECREATE
was only needed in our SLE12-specific RPM package \"rear116\"
(with SLE12-specific adaptions for btrfs support)
but it leads to falsely excluded btrfs subvolumes from
the backup (and restore) for all newer rear versions
(i.e. since rear 1.17), see the GitHub issue 821
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/821 in particular see
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/821#issuecomment-215071027
This is a good example for what is documented in the section
\"Rear Version Updates\" in our SLE12-HA manual and online at
\"Version upgrades with Relax-and-Recover (rear)\" in
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery
that reads (excerpt): \"For each rear version upgrade and
for each change of a software that is used by rear you must
carefully and completely re-validate that your particular
disaster recovery procedure still works for you.\"

Tue May 10 14:00:00 2016 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- Update to GitHub master from Tue May 10 11:01:47 CEST 2016
with Git commit bd3d2ac41c7ed04352abd28de16b9493aff40683
that removed the outdated and leftover EXCLUDE_RECREATE from
the btrfs example config files SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf
and SLE12-btrfs-example.conf because excluding btrfs subvolumes
via EXCLUDE_RECREATE was only needed in our SLE12-specific
RPM package \"rear116\" (with special adaptions for btrfs support)
but it leads to falsely excluded btrfs subvolumes from
the backup (and restore) for all newer rear versions
(i.e. since rear 1.17), see the GitHub issue 821
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/821 in particular see
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/821#issuecomment-215071027
(because our automated \"sle-changelog-checker\" requires a
SUSE-specific ID - voila - here you are: bsc#946389).
This means users who use btrfs and upgrade from our
SLE12-specific RPM package \"rear116\" to a newer rear version
must manually adapt their /etc/rear/local.conf file.
This is a good example for what is documented in the section
\"Rear Version Updates\" in our SLE12-HA manual and online at
\"Version upgrades with Relax-and-Recover (rear)\" in
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery
that reads (excerpt): \"For each rear version upgrade and
for each change of a software that is used by rear you must
carefully and completely re-validate that your particular
disaster recovery procedure still works for you.\"

Wed Apr 13 14:00:00 2016 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- New package rear118a for SUSE Linux Enterprise (fate#319332).
It is the upstream GitHub master from Wed Apr 13 14:00 CEST 2016
(latest Git commit 11eb7d19e5484c19783b86a705bc3aeed34b250c)
that is rear version 1.18 plus enhancements regarding ebiso
mainly let rear determine EFI virtual disk size automatically
(cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/810).
ebiso is used since rear version 1.18 for making a UEFI bootable
rear recovery system ISO image on SUSE Linux Enterprise systems
(see also bsc#931824).

Tue Mar 22 13:00:00 2016 jsmeixAATTsuse.de

are obsolete because it is now implemented in the upstream
sources.

Tue Nov 3 13:00:00 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- Create a separate directory /usr/share/rear/conf/examples/ for
example config files, see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/681
and install the SUSE example config files there - i.e.:
/usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE11-ext3-example.conf
/usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE12-btrfs-example.conf
/usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf

Wed Oct 28 13:00:00 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- rear1172a-gpt_sync_mbr.patch adds support for the
SUSE specific gpt_sync_mbr partitioning
see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/544
(bsc#950610).

Fri Oct 16 14:00:00 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- Enhanced SLE12-SP1-btrfs.patch so that for mounted btrfs
subvolumes that have the \'no copy on write\' attribute set
those btrfs subvolumes are recreated with that attribute set
(by using \'chattr\' on the btrfs subvolume directory),
see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/556
(bsc#946006 fate#318701).
- Enhanced SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf so that also lsattr is
in the recovery system (useful but not strictly required).

Thu Oct 8 14:00:00 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- Version 1.17.2.a is rear 1.17.2 with SLE12-SP1-btrfs.patch that
makes it work specifically for the default btrfs structure
in SLE12-SP1, see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/556
(bsc#946006 fate#318701).
- SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf is an example for SLE12-SP1
with default btrfs subvolumes that gets installed
as /usr/share/rear/conf/SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf
- Warning for users who upgrade Relax-and-Recover (rear):
Users who already use it must re-validate that their
particular disaster recovery procedure still works.
See in particular \"Version upgrades\" at
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery
Automatic version upgrades are not possible in practice.
The user must explicitly specify his intended rear version.
For one product like SLE11 or SLE12 we provide several versions
in parallel so that users where version N does not support their
particular needs can upgrade to version M but on the other hand
users who have a working disaster recovery procedure with
version N do not need to upgrade. Therefore the package name
contains the version and all packages conflict with each other
to avoid that an installed version gets accidentally
replaced with another version.

Mon Sep 7 14:00:00 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- Update to version 1.17.2

* Fixed the NTP startup script (issue #641)

* Fixed the vfat label issue (issue #647)

* Improved the DUPLICITY method with finding all required
libraries and python scripts

* Added the /run directory to the list of recreating missing
directories (issue #619)

* Fix issue with USB disk and rsync as internal backup
program (issue #645)

* Fix rsync restore: -anchored invalid rsync option (issue #642)

* A new variable was introduced NSR_POOLNAME (issue #640)

* Replaced almost all temporary files from /tmp/ to $TMP_DIR/
(issue #607)
Related to security recommendations for Fedora and RHEL:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1239009 (f22)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1238843 (rhel 7.2)

* In script 27_hpraid_layout.sh added the missing
HPSSACLI_BIN_INSTALLATION_DIR variable to the COPY_AS_IS
array (issue #630)

* Syslinux version > 5.00 is now supported (ISO and USB output)
works on Debian 8, Ubuntu 15.04 (issue #624)

* Bail out when syslinux/modules are not found in lib/
bootloader-functions.sh (issues #467 and #596)
You could also define a variable SYSLINUX_MODULES_DIR if rear
cannot find it automatically (should not be necessary)

* Support was added for SLES11 on PPC64 hardware
(issues #616 and #628)

* Support was added for new hardware - PPC64LE - RHEL
and Ubuntu (issue # 627)

* FIX the hashed password (SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD variable) and
added a missing library libfreeblpriv3 (issue #560)

* Insert a 3 seconds sleep after a volume group restauration
to give udevd or systemd-udevd time to create needed devices
(issue #608 and #617)

* Variable MANUAL_INCLUDE=YES has been introduced to work with
array BACKUP_PROG_INCLUDE (issue #597)

* Add new variable NSR_DEFAULT_POOL_NAME (defaulting to Default)
to use a different default pool name.
Renamed the RETENTION_TIME variable to NSR_RETENTION_TIME
(issue #640)

* new document 10-integrating-external-backup.adoc which
explains the steps to take for a new backup integration
into rear

* All AsciiDoc documentation changed extention
from .txt to .adoc
- Known restrictions on openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise
(in general see https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery):

* rear 1.17.2 will not work with default btrfs on SLES12-SP1
because support for btrfs in rear explicitly excludes
snapshot subvolumes but on SLES12-SP1 what is mounted
at \'/\' will be a btrfs snapshot subvolume (issue #556)

* rear 1.17.2 does not work with UEFI because of various
different reasons (issues #588 #585 #583 #229 #214)

* rear does not support partitions of type \'gpt_sync_mbr\'
aka. \'hybrid (synced) MBR\' (issue #544)

Thu Sep 3 14:00:00 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- Use \"ExclusiveArch: %ix86 x86_64 ppc ppc64 ppc64le\" instead
of \"BuildArch: noarch\" in the spec file.
rear contains only bash scripts plus documentation so that
on first glance it could be \"BuildArch: noarch\" but actually
it is not \"noarch\" because it only works on those architectures
that are explicitly supported. Of course the rear bash scripts
can be installed on any architecture just as any binaries can be
installed on any architecture. But the meaning of architecture
dependent packages should be on what architectures they will
work. Therefore only those architectures that are actually
supported are explicitly listed. This avoids that rear can
be \"just installed\" on architectures that are actually
not supported (e.g. ARM or IBM z Systems).
Furthermore for some architectures it requires architecture
dependent packages (like syslinux for x86 and x86_64)
so that rear must be architecture dependent.
See the GitHub issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/629

Tue Jun 30 14:00:00 2015 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- Update to version 1.17.1

* Removed the plain password in the logs (and output) coming
from BACKUP_PROG_CRYPT_KEY to avoid crib (issue #568)

* Mount vfat file system without special mount options
seems to work much better then with these options in recovery
mode, therefore, we do not use these anymore (especially
for /boot/efi) (issue #576)

* Elilo support has been added for SLES
(not fully tested yet) - issue #583

* Grub2 rescue menu has been added (enable this feature
with GRUB_RESCUE=y) - issue #589

* splitted script 31_include_uefi_tools.sh in two pieces:
31_include_uefi_tools.sh: to grab the UEFI tools (as long
as /boot/efi is mounted), and 32_include_uefi_env.sh: to dig
deeper into the configuration when UEFI is active
(related to issue #214). This is necessary to have to UEFI
tools on SLES 11/12 where we cannot create an UEFI bootable
ISO image. We must boot in BIOS mode, and need the UEFI tools
to make the system bootable over UEFI.

* It is now possible to format an USB disk with a vfat and ext3
partition (for UEFI booting) - issue #593
rear -v format -- --efi /dev/
However, UEFI booting from an USB disk has not been
implemented yet (sponsoring?).

* Simplified the code for ext
* fs and added StopIfError calls
to prevent divide by zero during recovery (issue #598)

* Syslinux version >6 requires some special handling due to
splitting up the package (Ubuntu 15.04) (issue #584)

* Debian 8 support added with ISO booting with latest syslinux
release as well (issues #596, #599 and #600)

* Changed the behavior of SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD - now saved as MD5
hash password, but backwards compatibility is still respected
(issue #560)

* For EMC NetWorker server/client we added some exclude items
to COPY_AS_IS_EXCLUDE_NSR (issue #571)

* Removed the Warning message from main rear script as it was
misleading (issues #563 and #564)

* output/ISO/Linux-i386/80_create_isofs.sh: make sure
ISO_FILES[AATT] are copied to isofs directory (issue #569)
- SLE11-ext3-example.conf is an example for SLE11
with default ext3 filesystem that gets installed as
/usr/share/rear/conf/SLE11-ext3-example.conf
- SLE12-btrfs-example.conf is an example for SLE12
with default btrfs subvolumes that gets installed
as /usr/share/rear/conf/SLE12-btrfs-example.conf
- Have config(noreplace) also for all files in /usr/share/rear/
to avoid that RPM package update overwrites user edited files
because Relax-and-Recover (rear) is meant to be adapted and
enhanced by the user according to his particular needs
(see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery).
- Added rear-rpmlintrc to filter the following false positives
rpmlint warning messages:

* non-etc-or-var-file-marked-as-conffile
because config(noreplace) is intentionally for all files
in /usr/share/rear/ (see above)

* systemd-service-without-service_del_preun
systemd-service-without-service_del_postun
systemd-service-without-service_add_pre
systemd-service-without-service_add_post
because the systemd unit files in /usr/share/rear/skel/
are not meant to be used in the running system.
They are used to build the rear recovery system ISO image.

Sun Mar 15 13:00:00 2015 p.drouandAATTgmail.com
- Update to version 1.17.0

* rear 1.17 introduced a new stage directory (init) which
is called before any workflow. Can be used for extra
initialization code, custom configurations and other stuff
that should happen each time that ReaR is used (was added
especially for DRLM as plugin for their DRLM variables)
(issue #557)

* RHEL 5 could not mount NFS share as portmap daemon was not
started yet. Reason was that script
verify/NETFS/default/08_start_required_daemons.sh
was executed after the mount test instead of before.
(issue #547)

* RHEL 6 on PPC64 architecture has problems with seclabel mount
option. There was a fix which cuts the seclabel mount option
(as rear is by default not using SELinux) (issue #545)

* Disaster Recovery Linux Manager (DRLM) is a new Open Source
project to centrally manage Disaster Recovery for Linux.
ReaR 1.17 adds support for DRLM with a new configuration
option DRLM_MANAGED=y (issue #522)

* Adding /etc/crypto-policies/ when openssl is requested
(prep/NETFS/default/09_check_encrypted_backup.sh) - required
for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179239
(issue #523)

* Introduced USING_UEFI_BOOTLOADER in default.conf file and
modified all the involved scripts to follow the logic
(issue #214)

* Archicture PPC64 has been enhanced (partition recognition
issue #536, console #537)

* TSM restore filespace has been enhanced (issue #535)

* Correct the usage of set -e and StopIfError function
(issue #534, #541)

* With BACKUP_TYPE=incremental disable variable
NETFS_KEEP_OLD_BACKUP_COPY (mutual exclusive with this mode)
(issue #143)

* Increased to start variable from 32768 to 2097152 in script
10_include_partition_code.sh (issue #492)

* Adding /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf (Ubuntu) to rear image
when found (issue #520)

* When using /etc/rear/mappings/ip_addresses IPADDR/cidr
must be translated into IPADDR and NETMASK (for RHEL 5 and 6)
(issue #460)

* mdadm layout code was changed in RHEL 7; code to deal with it
(issue #518)

* Adding missing driver xhci_hcd to GNU/Linux.conf (issue #519)

* Adding findmnt command to GNU/Linux.conf file; request
from https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908854

* BTRFS code has been rewritten by J. Meixner to get
SUSE rear116 fork back into our master tree of rear. BTRFS is
now properly recreated on Fedora 20 and 21 and on SLES 12 and
openSUSE 13 (issue #233, #497, #538) See also
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908854

* Enhanced the systemd start-up of udev daemons which is
different on Fedora 20 and 21 (issue #507, #531)

* BACKUP_PROG_OPTIONS=\"anchored\" became a default option
in default.conf (issue #475)

* Fixed an issue with auto-detection of the client name
in BAREOS (issue #542)

* Ubuntu 14.04 did not detect /dev/sda automatically - added
upstart script 99-makedev.sh to create missing block devices
like sda (issue #446)

* New script
usr/share/rear/layout/save/GNU/Linux/34_false_blacklisted.sh
added as work-around. Sometimes we might see the HP Smart
Storage Array disk listed as a multipath device. Most likely
this device was not blacklisted in the blacklist section of
the /etc/multipath.conf file (do not forget to rebuilt the
initial ramdisk after this) e.g.
falsempathdev=$( multipath -l | grep \"HP,LOGICAL\" | awk \'{print $1}\' )
[#] mpatha

* Added a systemd service script for SEP Sesam to start sesam
client automatically (issue #498)

* Disk Layout Generation with HP SmartArray with more than
one Logical Drive correction introduced by issue #208
(issue #455)

* OUTPUT_URL=null was added to avoid 2 ISO images on the local
system (issue #501, #419)

* Fix drbd restore code so it can handle multiple volumes in
single resource (issue #495)

* Function get_device_name was enhanced to properly translate
/dev/vg/lv to /dev/mapper/vg-lv (issue #494)

* Fixed the \"lvm wait yes\" problem (issue #493)

* Device name conflict when grep disklayout file without proper
space (issue #491)

* Several fixes with mdadm code
(issue #480, #489, #490, #508, #539)

* Several fixes in the 10_include_partition_code.sh script
(issue #487, #492)

* Being a bit more careful when deleting the outputfs directory
when rear finishes (issue #465)

* Add a new config option USE_STATIC_NETWORKING (issue #488)

* Resolving library search with duply (issue #482)

* Improved the RPM package build for SLES, removed
the lsb requirement (issue #479)

* Integrated the patch skip_sysconfig_kernel_if_not_exist.diff
from SUSE (issue #477)

* Debian 7 reference to grub.conf was corrected (issue #473)

* Debian packing was improved (issue #474, #484)

* Commercial backup solution Galaxy 10 support added to rear
(issue #471)
Also, point in time recovery was implemented (issue #472)

* Fixed the error \"unary operator expected with BACKUP_TYPE\"
(issue #422)

* lvm release 2.02.72 had already the knowledge
of norestorefile (issue #462)

* Add prefix $OUTPUT_PREFIX to all PXE related files
(issue #464)

* 55-migrate-network-devices.sh: fixed type with /sys/class/net
(issue #459)

* Removed Get_Start_Date function with Netbackup because
(depending on backup strategy) it led to partial restore
only (issue #456)

* 26_crypt_layout.sh: fixed issue when cypher contains :
(issue #425)

* 55-migrate-network-devices.sh: rebuild the array instead
of unset (issue #452)

* skel/default/etc/scripts/system-setup : change uname -n
by $HOSTNAME to avoid short/long hostname problems
(issue #439)

* Added a mkdir for $VAR_DIR/output if dir does not exist
(issue #440)

* 95_check_missing_programs.sh to find REQUIRED_PROGS before
proceeding (issue #418)

* Added a fix for autorizing and recognizong the boot flag
in the partition (issue #443)

* udev showing error message during startup (issue #442)

* Prevent \"ntpd -q\" from waiting forever if, for example,
no network is available, by killing it after 10 seconds
(issue #438)

* Several improvements around duply and duplicity
[Debian related] (issues #426, #478)

* 95_copy_result_files.sh uses now [
*] instead of [AATT] with
array (issue #431)

* New variable introduced for TSM in default.conf file
called LANG_RECOVER (issue #424)

* Added Pre check script for removing older releases first
during upgrade (RPM - issue #361)

* Prevent udev rule rewrites if systemd-udevd is running
issue #405

* Fix \"Networker backup fails if pool name contains spaces\"
(issue #427 and #429)

* Fix the \"More than 128 partitions is not supported\" problem
(issue #373 and #428) during recreating the partition layout

* A new configuration option, USE_STATIC_NETWORKING=y, will
cause statically configured network settings to be applied
even when USE_DHCLIENT is in effect (issue #447).

Warning for users who upgrade Relax-and-Recover (rear):
Users who already use it must re-validate that their
particular disaster recovery procedure still works.
See in particular \"Version upgrades\" at
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery
- bug-859436_40_restore_with_tsm.sh.diff is obsolete
because the issue is fixed in the uptream sources.
- rear-release-notes.txt-1.16 replaces the outdated
doc/rear-release-notes.txt from rear-1.16.tar.gz.
- traditional_style_for_bash_3.diff replaces bash 4.x syntax
with traditional style for bash 3.x if bash 3.x is used
(i.e. up to openSUSE:11.1 and SLE11 where we have bash 3.x)
where the test in the build environment assumes that the
same bash major version is also used by the end-user in his
runtime environment but even if the end-user had upgraded
his bash it should not matter because bash 3.x syntax
should also work for bash 4.x.
- Added an explicit os.conf to not depend on LSB dependencies
to avoid calling \"lsb_release\" in config-functions.sh
that might result inconsistent values (bnc#877042).

Fri Feb 7 13:00:00 2014 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- Added \"Requires: lsb-release\" because rear calls \"lsb_release\"
in /usr/share/rear/lib/config-functions.sh (bnc#861871).

Fri Feb 7 13:00:00 2014 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- Cleanup of the LSB RPM requirements (bnc#861871):
Replaced \"Requires: lsb\" by explicitly requiring
only those RPM packages that are mandatory for rear
(in particular when a binary is called in a script)
because \"Requires: lsb\" would require much too much,
see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807747#c4
\"A distribution is LSB Certified or LSB compliant if and only if
the distribution provides all requirements as outlined in the
specification.\"
Accordingly the lsb RPM requires tons of stuff that is not
needed by rear (in particular various graphical libraries,
sound stuff, printing stuff, and so on).
- Replaced rear-1.15.tar.gz with the current one from upstream at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/rear/files/rear/1.15/rear-1.15.tar.gz
that contains exactly same files but the tarball differs
(probably it was re-packed at upstream) and that causes
failures of our automated factory-auto check scripts like:
\"download_files is configured to fail when the upstream file
is different then the committed file\".

Wed Jan 22 13:00:00 2014 jsmeixAATTsuse.de
- Version upgrade to 1.15 from upstream (fate#316508).
For details see the rear-release-notes.txt file.
- bug-859436_40_restore_with_tsm.sh.diff fixes recovery
with TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) since version 6.4 that
results in an error message \"ANS1102E\" as fixed upstream
in https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/356 (bnc#859436).
- Warning for users who upgrade from rear 1.10.0
(e.g. when upgrading from SUSE Linux Enterprise 11):
Rear 1.15 has many new features and fundamental changes.
In particular the filesystem creation is totally different
(via the so called \"layout workflow\" instead of the old
\"dr workflow\" that has been removed in rear 1.14).
Users who already use rear must completely re-validate that
their particular disaster recovery procedure still works.
See in particular \"Version upgrades\" at
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery
