Changelog for kiwi-desc-isoboot-4.98.15-1.1.noarch.rpm :
Sun Jan 8 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - make sure xfs_growfs and xfs_check stay in the initrd (bnc #740073)
Sat Jan 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed rebuild of rpm database (bnc #740033)
Sat Jan 7 13:00:00 2012 msAATTsuse.de - fixed possible use of uninitialized value in string comparison Date: Wed Jan 4 16:49:34 2012 -0500 - fix gpg signature import The failure is triggered by a behavior change 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. This fixes bug 739619.
Wed Dec 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added SnapshotChunk and SnapshotCount to global space
Wed Dec 21 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of filelist for cache selection - fixed creation of cache meta data
Wed Dec 14 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed xen initrd inflate/deflate problem. Xen see the bootsplash at the end of the initrd as garbage and refuses to boot. With this patch we skip the bootsplash setup if it\'s xen (bnc #736491)
Wed Dec 7 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 (bnc #731457)
Fri Nov 25 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed parameter quoting of setupBootLoader() functions (bnc #729315)
Wed Nov 23 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - cleaned up KIWICache.pm to critic level 5
Tue Nov 22 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed --info/packages output to respect image typed packages sections. getInstallSize() now behaves the same like when the system is actually prepared
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 - fixed call of checkmedia (bnc #730763)
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
Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - renamed image format vpc to vhd. vhd seems to be the well known name for Microsoft HyperV images (bnc #729857)
Fri Nov 11 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - 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 msAATTsuse.de - fixed parameter quoting in setupBootLoader (bnc #729315)
Wed Nov 9 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure partedSectorInit() comes up with an initial value for the start sector if the partition table is empty (bnc #729251)
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
Tue Nov 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed dead code in iso boot code due to the removal of the swap file support (bnc #728645)
Tue Nov 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added options --xattrs and --acls when using rsync
Tue Nov 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - use mktemp to create tmp dir in setupInstallFlags
Tue Nov 8 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.98.15 released
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 - don\'t create a swap file if no swap partition can be found in the live iso boot code. people complained about the creation of swap files while this is not expected.
Sun Nov 6 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupNetworkInterfaceS390 qeth_configure execution - added setupNetworkInterfaceS390 to s390 netboot preinit to create the relevant udev rules
Thu Nov 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.98.14 released
Thu Nov 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed check for empty variable in shell code

Thu Nov 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fdasdGetPartitionID uses awk but awk was not part of the initrd
Thu Nov 3 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - moved hook calls pre/postpartition outside of the block which allows to skip the partition code via the hook script
Wed Nov 2 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repartition code to create an aligned table (bnc #721580)
Mon Oct 31 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - setup PXE_IFACE interface only if PXE_IFACE exists in the environment. When using zPXE this variable does not exist
Mon Oct 31 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupNetworkStatic to write correct interface file
Mon Oct 31 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed static inittab and securetty overlay files from s390 JeOS template. The setup is done by setupConsole() in preinit
Mon Oct 31 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - call runPreinitServices in s390 netboot suse-preinit
Mon Oct 31 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - turn pxe PART info tranformation functions into a generic and a fdasd specific function

Mon Oct 31 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for custom s390 device init command in the searchBusIDBootDevice function. This is required if the s390 client was not booted by an ipl command but e.g. via zPXE
Sun Oct 30 13:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed migration code:
* fixed creation of URL list from zypper information
* write current schema version (5.3) XML
* fixed creation of KIWISatSolver objects
Sat Oct 29 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for Microsoft Hyper-V machine image format . This requires a qemu version which supports the vpc format conversion (fate# 309765)
Sat Oct 29 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed migration module to work again. Added 11.4 and 12.1 paths and make sure the global object pointer is there when it is accessed

Fri Oct 28 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure the seq command is part of the initrd used in convertCIDRToNetmask()
Thu Oct 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure pxeSetupDownloadServer() uses a deadline of 30sec in the ping check. Otherwise it might happen that the server online check fails even though the machine is online Date: Thu Oct 27 10:07:01 2011 -0400 - add unit test to the locator for the createTmpDirectory method, change one of the messages from info to error in the locator, update my e-mail address

Thu Oct 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed __checkNameValid() checker function and make sure that an arch string as part of the name attribute doesn\'t cause any trouble (bnc #716992)
Thu Oct 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.98.9 released
Thu Oct 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - arch check in __checkNameValid is too restrictive
Thu Oct 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.98.8 released
Thu Oct 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed quoting of parameters in config.isoclient
Thu Oct 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - DB: update documentation Date: Thu Oct 27 05:19:20 2011 -0400 change URL in spec file to point to the new homw of the source, github vs. berlios Date: Thu Oct 27 05:13:15 2011 -0400 generated html doc
Thu Oct 27 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - reverted commit 620e4e65d05b257e4fc8c6017908e6ba9f75e28e this was a parted bug which is now fixed Date: Wed Oct 26 16:28:46 2011 -0400 add section about cross platform build, expand the introductory section of chapter 4
Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.98.7 released
Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed appliance name escaping. One can use any string for the displayname attribute which is now properly escaped via perl\'s quotemeta(). Along with this change the image name attribute must match the pattern [a-zA-Z0-9_\\-\\.] and is not allowed to have the architecture string as part of the name (bnc #716992)
Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 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 - fixed parted flag setup in KIWILinuxRC code, 12.1 and upstream parted doesn\'t support the hex id\'s like \'set type 0x..\'
Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed KIWIXMLInfo unit test due to last --info changes
Wed Oct 26 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - call createURLList() only on demand. Also provide accessor methods for xml->{urllist} and xml->{urlhash}, don\'t access these object data directly anymore. createURLList() was called in the KIWIXML constructor but changes to the XML might happen at a later point in time. So it makes sense to build the final URL list when access to it is requested
Tue Oct 25 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - call setupNetworkStatic in suse-preinit for s390. With this change we write the network configuration as received by the initrd into the system config files below /etc/sysconfig
Tue Oct 25 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added function convertCIDRToNetmask() which allows the interpretation of the CIDR extension like 192.168.1.1/24 to create a standard netmask 255.255.255.0 out of it.
Tue Oct 25 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value $free in KIWIXML.pm

Thu Oct 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added update repo path for 11.4 images due to grub bug (bnc #717836)
Wed Oct 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - check for FSTYPE == btrfs in createOriginSnapshot()
Wed Oct 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed creation of btrfs origin snapshot. This is now done on first boot of the appliance and not after kiwi prepare
Wed Oct 19 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added baseSetupBtrfsOrigin() function which allows to add an origin snapshot for the image root filesystem contents
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - moved README to mkd style
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - adapt README style

Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.98.3 released
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update German translation .po file
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure locale .mo files are created
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - update locale headers
Tue Oct 18 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for setting up which volume should get the rest free space assigned in a LVM setup. Example:
This will assign the rest space available in the volume group to the LVvar logical volume. rest space means either the size of the \'oem-systemsize\' element or if not set the entire rest space of the disk. If no \'all\' freespace attribute is set in the volume setup, the default volume LVRoot is used as before (bnc #724489)
Mon Oct 17 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added clicfs COW file check prior to mounting it via clicfs_fsck if the check fails we disable persistent writing

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 Date: Sat Oct 15 11:37:40 2011 -0400 revamp the EC2 chapter, include instructions for using EBS, restructure organization Date: Sat Oct 15 08:46:37 2011 -0400 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 Date: Fri Oct 14 10:53:19 2011 -0400 fix repository path for EC2 repo in 11.3 EC2 example
Fri Oct 14 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - xen dom0 support exists only for x86_64 architecture in SLE11 SP2. Therefore we check for this arch in the boot image descriptions
Fri Oct 14 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - run \'make valid\' and store XML style changes
Fri Oct 14 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.97.5 released
Thu Oct 13 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - xen dom0 support exists only for x86_64 architecture in SUSE 12.1. Therefore we check for this arch in the boot image descriptions
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
Wed Oct 12 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized $count variable (bnc #455990)
Wed Oct 12 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t ignore size setup even if the size is smaller than the min size kiwi\'s min size is safe but includes spare space. people who want to overwrite that size can do it but on their own risk
Wed Oct 12 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - allow drivers section in the system image which will be added to the drivers section of the selected boot image. This allows to add custom driver information additional to the existing driver selection as part of the boot image (bnc #720933) Author: Marcus Schäfer
Wed Oct 12 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed size calculation, use 4% overhead
Wed Oct 12 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed function waitForUSBDeviceScan and added new function waitForIdleEventQueue which waits for a specific amount of time to check whether new device nodes settle or not. if not the function will return
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.
Tue Oct 11 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - allow luksOpen to fail if luks_open_can_fail is set - allow map name to be specified in luksClose
Mon Oct 10 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t show the LUKS passphrase as part of the boot log
Mon Oct 10 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed vgchange calls to take the volume group name as argument
Mon Oct 10 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed multiple display of the same info messages when creating the virtual disk file
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)
Fri Oct 7 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.97.4 released
Fri Oct 7 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure updateOtherDeviceFstab creates the mount point

Thu Oct 6 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.97.3 released
Wed Oct 5 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added support for detecting multiple occurrences of the same MBR ID in searchBIOSBootDevice. Also make sure that this does not happen by writing a default MBR ID of 0xffffffff into the MBR when the bootloader is installed
Wed Oct 5 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - rewrote function CDMount into more clear parts, also fixed the waitForUSBDeviceScan which only checks dmesg for a string which doesn\'t appear anymore on newer kernels

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

Fri Jul 8 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - v4.92.2 released
Wed Jul 6 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - activate NFS locking for nfsroot systems. This means the mount call doesn\'t use -o nolock anymore
Wed Jul 6 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure rpc_pipefs is mounted if /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs exists - force NFS version 3 for NFSROOT setup. In that case v4 features are not required

Thu Jun 30 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added sle10 backward compatibility patches for losetup calls and partedGetPartitionID function. losetup in sle10 doesn\'t know about the --find option and parted in sle10 has a different machine (-m) output
Thu Jun 30 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - make sure to unset the cacheDir if selectCache failed
Thu Jun 30 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - removed -t option when mounting the squashfs image container in suse-dump. let libuuid decide that
Thu Jun 30 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo, check for dialog program happened twice
Wed Jun 29 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed and cleaned up disk size setup. There are two new functions __initDiskSize() and __updateDiskSize() which are used to create an initial disk size value and an update function if there are conditions which requires to increase the disk size. That actions are now also part of the kiwi log file
Wed Jun 29 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupOverlay() in KIWIImage.pm to write back possible XML changes into the overlay tree to stay persistent in the cow file

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
Tue Jun 21 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added function includeKernelParametersLowerCase() which converts all cmdline paramters to lowercase variables
Mon Jun 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - systemd-sysvinit creates a symlink from \'/bin/systemd\' to \'/sbin/init\'. Unfortunately kiwi linuxrc tries to check for the file permissions which leads to a false positive rebootException (bnc #700603)
Mon Jun 20 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - changed __getBootSize() function so that it multiplies the calculated minimum boot space by 3 to allow proper kernel updates (bnc #698161)
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.

Thu Jun 9 14:00:00 2011 adrianAATTsuse.de - fix plugin to become usable with current kiwi code
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

* 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 - 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 - 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

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

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

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 - make sure installBootLoader() is called for vmxboot image if a root overlay filesystem structure is used - move resetBootBind() into installBootLoader()
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
Wed Apr 6 14:00:00 2011 mbarringerAATTsuse.de Minor fix to the command line help output in Imagewriter
Wed Apr 6 14:00:00 2011 mbarringerAATTsuse.de Fixing Imagewriter compilation w/ HAL support enabled
Wed Apr 6 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use the result of a getExecPath() call happened outside of the chroot, for a command call inside the chroot. It might happen that the path to the binary is different inside the chroot and thus can\'t be found
Wed Apr 6 14:00:00 2011 mbarringerAATTsuse.de Fixing bnc#679099 - Imagewriter still requires HAL
Wed Apr 6 14:00:00 2011 rootAATTsuse.de - added support for ZFCP devices
Wed Apr 6 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added repodata information for s390 suse-sle11-repo
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 - fixed init(), creation of global kiwi log object is required for KIWIQX execution logging
Mon Apr 4 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - added repodata to kiwi provided suse- * repos and move the repotype to rpm-md in all referencing XML descriptions
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 rootAATTsuse.de - fixed zipl setup if used with LVM images
Wed Mar 30 14:00:00 2011 msAATTsuse.de - suse 11.4 doesn\'t provide the by-id disk paths anymore. Because of that change kiwi switches to the by-path method with this commit
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 - fixed start of udev and blogd
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.

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

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.

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

Thu Dec 9 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed location of local modprobe configuration file. The new place is in /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf. Only if this doesn\'t exist we will use /etc/modprobe.conf.local
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make baseSetupInPlaceGITRepository more useful
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed initial value (set it to empty) for INITRD_MODULES
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed obsolete setImageType() function from KIWIXML
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make use of the --check-config modus in kiwi to validate and check the kiwi provided XML configurations within the Makefile.
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suse-SLE11-JeOS to validate correctly. It\'s not allowed to have multiple import=\"true\" attributes set. Therefore the profile setup for this JeOS XML changed
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added Option --check-config which validates the XML using the new KIWIXMLValidator module. Along with the new module validation from KIWIXML has been moved into the KIWIXMLValidator object
Wed Dec 8 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of createImageUSB() which has changed its name into createImageRootAndBoot()
Tue Dec 7 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed boot partition setup for non mkinitrd supported setups
Tue Dec 7 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added updateTypeList() function in KIWIXML which is required if an accessor function changes the XML tree the internal data structures needs to be updated too
Tue Dec 7 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t overwrite the zypp repo data when in recovery mode (bnc #657922)
Mon Dec 6 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed cache creation
Mon Dec 6 13:00:00 2010 adrianAATTsuse.de fix build for factory (openSUSE 11.4)
Mon Dec 6 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added KIWIXML methods __populateProfiles() and __populateTypeInfo which are gathering the profile and type information as they are set by the XML description. Along with this change the following methodes have changed: __populateDefaultProfiles and __populateProfiledTypeInfo. They both read the data structures created by the first two and assign a new data structure according to the selected profiles.
Mon Dec 6 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed unneeded KIWIXML instance from KIWIBoot. The KIWIBoot constructor creates one instance of KIWIXML which is sufficient for all operations
Mon Dec 6 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed parameter list in \'new KIWIXML\' instances
Sat Dec 4 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repository update in __updateDescriptionFromChangeSet()
Fri Dec 3 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.67 released
Fri Dec 3 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make addDefaultSplitNode() a private helper method called __addDefaultSplitNode(). Also fixed that function to work correctly. It should add the default split mode for all relevant types (iso and split) and add the section only if those types doesn\'t already implement a split section
Thu Dec 2 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - cleanup KIWIImage and main kiwi code. The global variables ForeignRepo and ImageName has been removed. Additionally the KIWIXML constructor doesn\'t have the ForeignRepo hash in its parameter list. Inside KIWIXML the entire foreign data setup has been changed into methods creating and applying a changeset. Therefore a temporary global hash XMLChangeSet has been introduced. After apply of the changeset it will be removed directly. Along with the cleanup the creation and check for boot and prebuilt images has been moved into functions. The preparation step of kiwi now also writes back the internal XML changes into the XML file. Last but not least the global variable ImageDescription has been introduced which stores in prepare and create mode the path to the base image description which is required to know the location of bootincluded archives and this:// repos
Wed Dec 1 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed xml inheritance. This feature was never used
Tue Nov 30 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - restructured XML data processing by adding the following KIWIXML methods: __populateTypeInfo() and __populateImageTypeAndNode() The first method creates the %typeInfo hash which contains all possible elements according to the selected profiles. The second method operates on the %typeInfo hash and initializes those part of the hash which represents the requested image type or the primary type or the first type read in. Both methodes are called only _once_ inside the object constructor. The existing method getImageTypeAndAttributes() has changed to simply return the selected part of the %typeInfo hash and does _not_ change any object data as done before.
Tue Nov 30 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added check that only one type with image=\"myName\" exists per
Tue Nov 30 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value in KIWIXML processing
Mon Nov 29 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - if logfile option is specified along with --init-cache set the logfile to the \'terminal\' mode. That\'s because in that mode multiple logfiles per cache are created and it wouldn\'t make much sense to have them in one file. If the output is on the terminal the user can decide himself for the redirection
Mon Nov 29 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - require clicfs >= 1.3.9 due to major bugs in former versions
Mon Nov 29 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed __checkReferencedProfDefined to work with sections defining more than one profile like netboot does
Mon Nov 29 13:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed invalid numeric expression in reqProfiles - added __populateDefaultProfiles according to XML restructuring and removed setDefaultProfiles

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 - 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 - 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

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

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

Wed Oct 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - 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 rootAATTsuse.de - fixed LVM based repartition code for s390 and DASD, it\'s required to recreate the VTOC table here before you can create new partitions
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: ...
- update to new schema version 4.8 due to the systemdisk change - if systemdisk is specified a lvm setup is implicitly requested. Therefore also the attribute \'lvm\' from the type section was removed - Also the oem-home element was removed with this change. A volume instead of a single partition should be used. - wrote a xslt stylesheet for the following conversions:
* remove lvm attribute
* move lvmvolumes element into systemdisk
* move lvmgroup attribute into name
* if oem-home is set create a systemdisk setup with a home volume - update documentation due to the systemdisk change

Thu Sep 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed OEMRepartStandard() to use the suggested last cylinder for the last partition to become created instead of a fixed value. Also use the suggested last cylinder for the resize of the root partition if there is no other partition to become created and no oem-systemsize was specified
Mon Sep 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in DHCPCD option test
Mon Sep 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added support for partition alignment with fdisk. Thus support for 4k-sector size disks (logical 512 byte) with fdisk was added when using parted the -align option is used in any case though. In order to use the alignment when fdisk is used the oemconfig element oem-align-partition must be set to \'true\' (bnc #637333)
Thu Sep 16 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed umount -a call to prevent a read-only remount (bnc #635159)

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

Thu Sep 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - allow the qeth parameters to be set via the kernel commandline too for the s390/suse-SLE11-JeOS image. Detailed information about kernel parameters for this image can be found in the s390/suse-SLE11-JeOS/README
Thu Sep 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed mount() function to work with disk files too
Thu Sep 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - if the --targetdevice option is set, create the image file by dumping bytes from the targetdevice. Also make sure the free space of the filesystem on the targetdevice is filled with zero bytes to gain a better compression result of the image file. --targetdevice is currently used for s390 DASD devices
Thu Sep 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suseSetupProduct looking for a SUSE_ prefix too (bnc #637996)
Thu Sep 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de -DB: pxe: fixed some spelling and gramatical errors -DB: Enabled mini tocs for chapters and appendices -DB: Chapter and appendix titles are in the format \"Number Title\" now -DB: Removed \"Appendix\" from kiwi-doc-appendix.xml -DB: Added more comments in fo/docbook.xsl

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

Wed Sep 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - better Makefile for docbook book creation. Added pictures which are currently embedded as PNG\'s. This needs to be improved though
Wed Sep 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - started conversion of the documentation from LaTeX to DocBook. This first version is still missing a few things, therefore the LaTeX source is still in place and preferred
Tue Aug 31 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make sure the lvm attribute is part of the .profile environment of the kiwi boot images. The value is exported as $kiwi_lvm. The searchVolumeGroup() function only operates if kiwi_lvm is set to true - moved the message text \'Searching for $VGROUP volume group\' into the searchVolumeGroup() function and remove it from all boot image linuxrc\'s
Tue Aug 31 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - LVM: added 1% spare space for each volume to store the metadata
Mon Aug 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - prevent dd output on stderr when checking the boot sector
Mon Aug 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed check for boot sector inclusion
Mon Aug 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation
Mon Aug 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - copy license files into the system if found on one of the specified repos. The first repo which provides a license.tar.gz is the one which is used (bnc #633664)
Mon Aug 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added sync call before umounting the filesystems. Reasons for this workaround is the kernel problem in (bnc #15906)
Fri Aug 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t call the grub binary from the image this could lead to problems when the grub binary is linked against a library which doesn\'t exist on the build machine. Therefore we use the grub binary installed on the build machine (kiwi requires grub for vmx and oem now) and bind mount the grub stage files in boot/grub from the image to the build machine while grub is called
Fri Aug 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.58 released
Fri Aug 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make use of the mkfs.$FS toolset instead of mk2fs with parameters This is more compatible and also prevents us from dealing with the changed meanings of some mk2fs parameters (bnc #635052)
Thu Aug 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed convert39to41.xsl to insert xenconfig and vmwareconfig sections also for iso image type
Thu Aug 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added parted as requirement for kiwi-desc-oem|vmxboot
Wed Aug 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed yum package check. the \'list available\' command is not suitable for already installed packages. Therefore we use \'list all\' which also works for already installed packages
Wed Aug 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - changed iso image type for RHEL template to use clicfs instead of squashfs
Wed Aug 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added clicfs for RHEL 5.4 to kiwi rhel repo
Wed Aug 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed clicfs mount by not using losetup on the clicfs file before mounting it via the clicfs command. The clicfs command now get the clicfs file directly. Problem here was that with a loop clicfs is no longer able to read the size of the clicfs file which results in unexpected behavior (bnc #629543) - Related to that fix clicfs based caching now works stable
Wed Aug 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - call dhcpcd with the option --noipv4ll to be able to check the return code of dhcpcd and to prevent the interface from an ip address if there was a DHCP timeout (bnc #634057)
Wed Aug 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added package/group check before yum is called to install packages/groups. This is done because there are yum versions which silently ignore missing items and proceed installing the rest.
Tue Aug 24 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed message about package installation when using ensconce The problem was that it prints always the same message about installing bootstrap packages even in non-chroot mode
Tue Aug 24 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t check the return code of dhcpcd it\'s always zero. Therefore the check has been changed to check for the creation of the /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-$PXE_IFACE.info file (bnc #634057)
Mon Aug 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added setup to templates. Use utc by default
Mon Aug 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - allow setup of HWCLOCK in /etc/sysconfig/clock via the preferences element utc|localtime
Mon Aug 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - RHEL: fixed URL quoting when building with yum - RHEL: added alternative search path for isolinux.bin
Mon Aug 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.57 released
Fri Aug 20 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed etc/motd for suse-11.3-JeOS. It was still saying this is a 11.2 system, cut&paste bug :-)
Fri Aug 20 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suse-11.3/suse-min-gnome. Gnome is not working no session and desktop information was installed
Fri Aug 20 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t use mkclicfs from image root tree. That will fail in any case where the image buildsystem libraries doesn\'t match the ones required by the mkclicfs binary inside the root tree
Fri Aug 20 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed suse-11.3/suse-min-gnome example. Some X11 packages where missing in order to boot up with a working X
Wed Aug 18 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed convert39to41.xsl schema conversion. The attributes for the conversion from to were missing
Wed Aug 18 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed shell exception handling after the move mount of devices. In that cases the tty devices are in /mnt/dev and therefore any shell exception failed because the setctsid call can\'t find the device. This is now fixed (bnc #608620)
Wed Aug 18 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed netboot building by providing atftp for SLE11 (bnc #632203)
Tue Aug 17 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update schema documentation
Tue Aug 17 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added support for selecting the default boot entry for a kiwi install image. The optional attribute called installboot can take the values \'install\' for standard installation, \'failsafe-install\' for installation with failsafe kernel parameters and \'harddisk\' which is the default anyway if no installboot attribute was given (bnc #624228)
Tue Aug 17 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation. XML elements and attributes are now listed in the index
Tue Aug 17 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation. Better index page
Tue Aug 17 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation
Mon Aug 16 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - removed unused variable $device in mountSystem()
Mon Aug 16 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - put the code which deactivates the filesystem check by resetting the mount counter into a function called resetMountCounter(). Let resetMountCounter also check the filesystem type to be able to distinguish different filesystem tools (bnc #627021)
Fri Aug 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation, fixed Makefile and changed box frame layout into two horizintal lines
Fri Aug 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation. Some style changes for code boxes which now allows also cut&paste

Wed Aug 11 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.56 released
Wed Aug 11 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed permissions and ownership setup of read-write part in split images. The problem here was that the read-write part is created as new directory structure belonging to root. Therefore it\'s required to update permissions and ownership from the original tree afterwards in the same as it\'s done for the read-only and temporary parts
Tue Aug 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make use of the --recursive feature of insserv and remove my own recursice insserv implementation which has to parse the insserv output and therefore always fail if that output changes (bnc #627480)
Tue Aug 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added acpi modules to kiwi\'s oemboot initrd. This is required mostly for fan control on laptops and therefore very important for the preload images running on laptops to prevent overheating of the devices
Tue Aug 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed hybrid persistent feature. The check for the bios protection was broken which caused the creation of the persistent write partition to be skipped. - added support for the kernel option wipecow=1. This option allows to wipe an eventually existing cow file on a hybrid iso image to start from scratch
Tue Aug 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - changed suse-11.3/suse-live-stick example to use the hybrid iso technology
Tue Aug 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed coding style for driverupdate support in inst-sys mode also fixed DB comments in schema for driverupdate section
Tue Aug 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation and man pages. some formal and consistency changes over the entire document
Mon Aug 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation. Thanks to Thomas Schraitle
Mon Aug 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - pxe: make sure the CONF contents are evaluated even if the image is downloaded to RAM only instead of a persistent device.
Mon Aug 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added missing xml object reference to foreign repo hash when building a split image
Mon Aug 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - setup overlay mount method in create mode if the file $Create/kiwi-root.cache exists
Mon Aug 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation. Thanks to Thomas for providing the patch
Fri Aug 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.55 released
Fri Aug 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo in config.xml search in overlay mount function
Fri Aug 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - turn main::Prepare into an abspath
Fri Aug 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make sure the cache holds the correct copy of the base image and not the cache image XML
Fri Aug 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added arch information into caches
Fri Aug 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation, patch by Thomas Schraitle
Fri Aug 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - moved cache creation into functions initializeCache() selectCache() and createCache() - added meta information into root tree if cow cache is used. It\'s required to have the name of the cache clicfs available when running kiwi create on a root tree created with a clicfs based cache
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - improve caching by creating clicfs files from the single caches and mount them with a cow file for further operations.... still experimental
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed xen/ec2 examples to clone services into runlevel 4 which is required by EC2
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - changed ec2 account number back to default
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed boot image checksum creation in Makefile
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - EC2: changed the way how ec2 images are created. We now bundle the ami from a raw disk Xen image using the ec2 kernel. Along with this change the xenboot boot image became obsolete and was removed in a previous commit. Support for Xen is now only availabe via disk image and Xen must support PVgrub in order to boot it
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - EC2: update documentation about EC2 and Xen support
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - EC2: removed support for xenboot boot images, xen/ec2 is disk based now
Thu Aug 5 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - EC2: removed suse-ec2-guest examples - EC2: added ec2Flavour into suse-xen-guest examples - EC2: changed suse-xen-guest examples image type to vmx with xen/ec2 kernel
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed changelog creation tool. Don\'t include information about branch merges or commits which just copied a changelog entry for a previos commit into the kiwi.changes file. We also don\'t include the svn to git conversion information as I think it\'s not required
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added xen guest example for 11.3
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 ugAATTsuse.de - fixed respect write protection for Live medium (SD-card) bnc#623038
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed MBR rewrite call in installBootLoader()
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed check for foreign packages. The problem here was that the correct packages sections were checked for matching the profiles of the boot image but they should be checked against the profiles of the system image.
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t check the return value of the e2fsck call. If the filesystem check was forced for example by a wrong system clock the check runs successfully but the return value is not zero.
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed license display problem when no localized license files exist but a license.txt file does
Wed Aug 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - add the vm guest example to openSUSE 11.3
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - create the kiwi.changes file from the git log information
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - add the live stick example to openSUSE 11.3
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - write back masterBootID (MBR ID) to the master boot record after it has been changed by installBootLoader()
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added suse-euca-cloud examples for 11.3
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - reverted last change: don\'t call root filesystem check for images (bnc #627021) this causes the fs to remount read-only on newer versions if suse; what a crappy reaction
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repartition code for fdisk (SLE10) (bnc #627807)
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t call root filesystem check for images (bnc #627021)
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - if a fixed xml size was set for a filesystem image we use if even if kiwi\'s calculation says it\'s too small. This allows users to create the image with less or no free space but also could cause the image to fail because of no space left on device. We don\'t use the fixed xml size if it\'s too small for a virtual disk based image though because this could cause the image to be created successfully but then failed on boot which is a bad user experience (bnc #627031)
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.54 released
Tue Aug 3 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed evaluation of PARTED_... variables (bnc #627593)

Mon Aug 2 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.53 released
Mon Aug 2 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - again fixed the check for specific parted versions. I now changed it to directly check for the available options in parted instead of the parted version number
Mon Aug 2 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - when creating a new cpio image make sure an eventually existing old version of .splash.gz will be removed
Fri Jul 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - put patterns into image package section instead of bootstrap I discovered strange errors with older zypper versions when building newer images
Fri Jul 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.52 released
Fri Jul 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added log information about used boot-theme
Fri Jul 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - clarify user creation and group association documentation - some alpha ordering inside the schema
Thu Jul 29 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - support add-pattern option in upgrade mode too
Thu Jul 29 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - add changelog entry for last commit - recreate documentation
Thu Jul 29 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - again fixed parted version setup
Wed Jul 28 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - again fixed PARTED_VER setup. older version strings looks different than the new ones. We had to standardize those too
Tue Jul 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed PARTED_VER setup and tests. If the parted version is below or equal 1.8.8 we switch to fdisk. This applies for sle10 where parted doesn\'t have some options which we require
Tue Jul 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added support for image caching. With this feature you can provide a cache directory along with the option --cache. kiwi in prepare step looks into the directory if it finds a cache serving as the base-root for the system image. If it can\'t find one it creates caches based on the patterns used in the image description which speeds up subsequent prepare calls for this and other images
Tue Jul 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed solvable cache if only one solvable is created it was removed and not cached
Tue Jul 27 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized value for $dir

Mon Jul 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed SLE10 boot images using gettext-runtime. This package doesn\'t exist there, it was gettext only (bnc #625392)
Mon Jul 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - accidently removed an important return statement in setupBootPartition
Mon Jul 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.51 released
Mon Jul 26 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed setupBootPartition() to return with a bootid export in _any_ case. Default bootid is 1 (bnc #625379)

Thu Jul 22 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed locale validation and documentation as well as some template examples provided by kiwi. The locale value in kiwi is always a UTF-8 locale therefore it\'s not allowed to add the encoding type to the locale string. We also support the xx_XX locale style only which is now all checked by the schema (bnc #620789)
Thu Jul 22 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed documentation about the evaluation of the locale information
Thu Jul 22 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed locale setup for some examples

Tue Jul 20 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added main::isize function to replace the use of the -s operator. This is done because of SUSE Studio which maps a file to a block special under certain circumstances which causes -s to not work anymore
Mon Jul 19 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.49 released
Sat Jul 17 14:00:00 2010 rootAATTsuse.de - install bootloader for vmx and usb after initial deployment to make sure reboot works

Tue Jul 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - put the information about the xen domain setup into the initrd as variable kiwi_xendomain
Tue Jul 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - remove unneeded initrd.vmx and linux.vmx files _before_ calling mkinitrd. This saves space to not run into a space problem on the boot partition (bnc #621859)
Tue Jul 13 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - usb attribute in vmwareconfig doesn\'t exist anymore with the new machine section. usb is always present for vmware fixed xslt stylesheet for this case
Fri Jul 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.45 released
Fri Jul 9 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - recovery tarball: tar is intelligent enough to find hard link references. This causes the archive to be smaller. But when kiwi installs the root tree into the image all hard link references will solve into a new inode. According to this the recreation of the tarball in combination with an inplace setup will always be bigger than the reference tarball from the root tree and this causes the recovery partition and/or the free space inside the root partition to be too small. I fixed this with the following tar option: --hard-dereference
Tue Jul 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added support for the creation of the zipl.conf file the installation of zipl into the MBR from a loop file is still an open issue. We need to talk to IBM here first - restructure source tree a bit. make templates and repos architecture dependent because of the s390 implementations
Tue Jul 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - make sure virtio_blk is loaded
Tue Jul 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - match MBR id for little and big endian machines
Tue Jul 6 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t exit with an error if \'zypper rm\' can\'t find the package - check for profiles when searching for foreign packages also search in type=image and type=bootstrap package sections
Mon Jul 5 14:00:00 2010 rootAATTsuse.de - removed SLE10 target for s390, we are starting with SLE11 SP1 - added support for s390 kernel extraction from initrd (image file) - fixed vmxboot/oemboot boot image descriptions for s390 - added kiwi-tools for s390/s390x

Fri Jul 2 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.44 released
Fri Jul 2 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed use of uninitialized iso object reference
Thu Jul 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed repartition problem with new and old parted. The code has been changed in a way that it uses a sector based start value and a cylinder based end value
Thu Jul 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - call conversion module automatically but only if a format was set in config.xml. Exception: the xen image type, which requires a machine configuration but without a format conversion
Thu Jul 1 14:00:00 2010 adrianAATTsuse.de Make volume id labels nicer on coolos request:
* Always strip -Media
* Do not add dots when stripping
* Do add media number .XXX suffix only when multiple medias exist
Thu Jul 1 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - use format from xml if specified and not set on the commandline for the conversion into another image format
Wed Jun 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed minor ovf creation bugs. Note old versions of ovftool will not work with this version of kiwi because VMware changed the option set of their own tool completely
Wed Jun 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update image descriptions via xslt
Wed Jun 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added xslt stylesheet to convert from schema v4.6 to v4.7 the conversion moves the vmwareconfig and xenconfig sections into the common machine sections and also changes format=\"iso\" into installiso=\"true\" and format=\"usb\" into installstick=\"true\"
Wed Jun 30 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update documentation according to the new KIWIImageFormat module and the changes in the type and VM configuration XML setup
Tue Jun 29 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - Cleanup formats in kiwi:

* create common XML specification for vmware|xen config starting with
* added new option --convert to kiwi.
* recursively call kiwi with $main::Convert set to convert into the specified format and/or configuration
* added bool attributes installcd and installstick replacing the old format=\"iso\" and format=\"usb\" setup
Mon Jun 28 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - moved the XML validation ahead of the first data extraction - changed the way validation errors are reported. If the xml file was converted via XSL the error will be reported against the converted file. This makes the error reporting more meaningful as otherwise validation errors are reported that are due to the use of an older schema version. - fixed typo in convert45to46.xsl. Do not swallow attributes on packages of the vmware section - Thanks to Robert who did the last three ones, great work :)
Fri Jun 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.43 released
Fri Jun 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed copy of root tree into final image. We used cp -a $source/ * $dest which did not match the dot files in $source/. * Therefore I changed this to use a tar based copy
Thu Jun 24 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - added oem-inplace-recovery option which allows creation of the recovery tarball at first deployment instead of creating the tarball and store it inside the image
Wed Jun 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - add bugid to changelog entry
Wed Jun 23 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - update the min gnome example to 11.3

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

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

Tue May 25 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - use isolinux for install CD\'s if sys|extlinux was requested as bootloader for an oem image plus install media (bnc #606651) - fixed clicfs resize operation. The command is now based on a 512 byte sector size value instead of a 4k filesystem block size value which might be wrong depending on the size of the filesystem (bnc #604646)
Fri May 21 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - v4.37 released
Fri May 21 14:00:00 2010 ugAATTsuse.de - fixes endless building problem if function suseInsertService() is calling in config.sh and system/chroot contains a broken /etc/init.d/ script. (bnc #605981)

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

Tue May 11 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - some code cleanup in KIWIImage.pm, unused variables - call mkclicfs from the installed root tree instead of the build system to prevent version conflicts. If no clicfs is installed by the image description a warning message is displayed and the build system mkclicfs is used as before (bnc #604646)
Mon May 10 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - fixed min inode count when creating the virtual disk from a root directory instead of a root image file

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

This caused a wrong copy of the initrd and prevents the system from being able to reboot
Tue May 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - package scripts change: use File::lchown qw( lutimes ); for changing the a|mtime of the symlinks inside the source tarball. This means all people who use \"make build\" from the kiwi source need to make sure they have the File::lchown module installed from CPAN
Tue May 4 14:00:00 2010 msAATTsuse.de - preserve timestamps of source tarballs if not change has happened. I\'m still searching for a way to preserve timestamps of symlinks (cp -a has a bug and does not preserve it)

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

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

Wed Oct 14 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - don\'t remove libgcc_s from initrd. It\'s required for programs which uses pthread_cancel()
Wed Oct 14 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - prevent automatic CD eject on kiwi install. If the tray is blocked (some servers hide their drives behind doors) the boot CD/DVD with the OEM image ends up back in the machine. Therefore we open a popup window asking to user to remove the install media before continuing
Tue Oct 13 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - added udevPending call in waitForUSBDeviceScan() to make sure the device nodes are created if we leave the function

Wed Oct 7 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - improved umount code for auto mount of removable storage devices. The function umountDevice() takes over the task of umounting all filesystems associated with the given device - use searchBIOSBootDevice for usbboot instead of USBStickDevice since we have the unique MBR ID in place this is the better method to search for the boot device

This feature exists with openSUSE 11.2 or later. In order to use it add the attribute hybrid=\"true\" to your iso type line. If you use the iso on a read/write medium the isoboot code will search for a 0x83 partition used for writing OS data (bnc #496505)
Mon Aug 3 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - added mediacheck feature for hybrid iso - use partition not disk to mount hybrid

Wed Jul 1 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - v3.61 - prepared KIWIImage to work with luks extension. This is not a complete implementation so far, just a first start (bnc #505782) - fixed inclusion of custom tar archives if the image description provides only a bootstrap section like the isoboot data does
Wed Jun 24 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - allow inclusion of custom tar archives with new element. This can be used to include custom branding without special branding packages. This can also be used to include any kind of data without the need for a package (bnc #515573)
Wed Jun 24 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - the inode issue comes back to haunt us yet again. The last go around actually made things *worse * for things like vmdk that allocate large disks, since 2x the number of files is probably much smaller than the \'automatic\' calculation used for a disk of that size. The attached patch fixes this by removing the --fs-numinodes option (which is useless, IMHO) and replaces it with --fs-inoderatio. Kiwi will assume 16k for inode ratio if not otherwise specified. We use the ratio to determine the number of inodes, unless it is a smaller value than num_files *2.
Tue Jun 23 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - fixed typo
Tue Jun 23 14:00:00 2009 msAATTsuse.de - more virtio modules
