- Studio containment workaround. We need to sync manually
  before umounting

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 24 09:55:40 CEST 2009 - ms@suse.de

- added support for flags="clic" in type iso (SLE11 only)
- 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

  are used together. Using these attributes together in one
  type is redundant and therefore not correct but it should
  not lead to an error (bnc #514412)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 24 10:57:26 CET 2009 - ms@suse.de

- added support for zypper's target architecture. kiwi allows
  to set the option --target-arch to one of the following
  values: i586, x86_64, armv5tel or ppc. This option should be
  used for building cross arch images. Please note:
  --
  * Installing packages for another than the build machines
    architecture additionally requires an environment setup which
    allows running binaries of that architecture.
  * One approach to do this is to use QEMU in user mode. Just copy
    the static qemu binaries from /usr/bin/qemu* into the root/usr/bin
    directory of your image description. Last step before calling
    qemu is to run the /usr/sbin/qemu-binfmt-conf.sh script to
    prepare the environment

- added support for parted in kiwi. All partition tasks inside
  KIWIBoot.pm and in linuxrc are now possible with parted. Even
  though there is one exception which is the oemboot linuxrc.
  the repartition code in this boot code is still based on fdisk.
  All changes required due to bug (bnc #413637)
- added log excerpt information and fixed exit code handling
  if kiwi operation doesn't take place in a screen session. Last
  part of the fix is related to (bnc #420320)

  device when oemboot starts the repartitioning of the device
  on first boot. The change requires the edd module to be present
  in the boot image (initrd)

  fails we still have the chance to find the correct boot device
  by the /boot/grub/mbrid file written by kiwi itself

  by autobuild team (mls,jcborn)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Sep  5 12:13:44 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

- v2.74
- Patch by Peter Bowen which causes zypper to use a private
  copy of zypp.conf (rather than the host system copy) and
  provides an interface to modify the config file.
- Patch by Peter Bowen which allows automatic exclusion of
  documentation during install. Smart and zypper both support
  setting options that pass the right flag to rpm on the
  backend.

- v2.66
- disabled build of images in spec file
- fixed adapter type detection in KIWIBoot (bnc #417461)
- fixed use of package manager cache. kiwi uses a global cache
  for building now. This is below /var/cache/kiwi/<manager>.
  The package manager data is temporarly bind mounted into the
  image root system for any package manager operation.
  This allows a faster processing within the second stage of
  the image preparation and also alows re-use of already
  downloaded remote packages (bnc #417457)
- changed locking process due to cache handling changes.
  This is related to (bnc #417457)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Aug 11 09:53:52 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

  packages bootsplash and bootsplash-(branding|theme)-* with
  the package: splashy in your boot image description. Also make
  sure the package pcre stays in the boot image it's required
  for splashy. At the moment we stick to the old bootsplash
  system by default

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun  3 14:35:01 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

- added getDiskID function which is able to turn a given
  standard device name into the udev ID based representation.
  The function is currently not used but will be in the future

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun  3 11:51:49 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

Sat May 31 12:18:53 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

- fixed USB stick identification code

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 30 11:23:39 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

- create generic bootloader functions which calls specific
  bootloader code according to the architecture. At the moment

- fixed grub title setup if multiple kernels are installed

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu May 29 17:07:35 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu May 29 11:41:12 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

- better NFSROOT fix which fixes kiwiMount to work
  when kiwiMount is set. This is required in case of a
  non standard mount operation which also makes sense
  for root over NFS (example COMBINED_IMAGE over nfs)

  * added a chapter how to build appliances with kiwi

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 28 18:25:19 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

  uncompressed image but if the download happens on a compressed
  file the values should also be available for this file.
  Detailed information can be found here: (bnc #387228)
- fixed NFSROOT mount. NFS mount will fail if the -t auto mount
  option is set. The fix makes sure FSTYPE=nfs is set before
  mounting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 23 17:34:13 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

- added sense code checking for CD/DVD drives (bnc #390934)

  set an identification number which appears as file /etc/ImageID
  within the image

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 21 07:26:55 CEST 2008 - ms@suse.de

- added optional kiwirevision attribute. The optional attribute
  kiwirevision allows to specify a kiwi SVN revision number which is
  known to build a working image from this description. If the kiwi
  SVN revision is less than the specified value the
  process will exit.

  requires the attributes fsreadwrite/fsreadonly for the split
  image type instead of one filesystem attribute with comma
  separated filesystem names as content 
- added dbusdevice perl binding to send Lock message to hal
  via dbus. This allows a perl program to prevent a storage

- v2.22
- added bootprofiles xen, smp and default to all boot image
  descriptions except xenboot which has no alternative and has to
  use the xen kernel. Additionally removed all -smp boot descriptions
  as they are now handled with a bootprofile="smp" attribute

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Feb  7 15:31:53 CET 2008 - ms@suse.de

- v2.21
- added tar program to be available in boot images
- fixed /proc/cmdline processing
- changed rootfs tarbal to use gzip instead of bzip2. We don't
  have bzip2 in the boot images and the RAM part shouldn't be
  that big that we require the small compression improvement here.
- cleaned up mountSystem function, use sub functions to
  be called according to the different root mount methods
- add ramdisk module (rd) to netboot and load the module (bnc #310001)
- added support for split images in vmx/oem and usbboot (bnc #359124)

- v2.18
- fixed oemboot boot image descriptions for SLE10 (#355963)
- added ISO boot catalog relocation function. It's important that
  the boot catalog is in one of the first sectors. Unfortunately
  mkisofs places it somewhere which may lead to boot problems on
  some (not all) hardware. The relocation code will move the boot
  catalog to the first possible sector
- added post partition size check for virtual disk images. Due to
  alignment effects a partition may be smaller than the image it should
  store. The added size check in KIWIBoot.pm repeats the partition
  setup until the image fits in

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jan 31 15:24:07 CET 2008 - ms@suse.de

- v2.17
- prevent resizing and checking of the root filesystem in case

  This function will return an uncompressed sat solvable record
  for the given repository list. If it's required to create
  this solvable because it doesn't exist on the repository
  the satsolver toolkit is used and therefore required in
  order to allow this function to work correctly (#348734)
- added KIWISatSolver module and use it if libsatsolver is

  a non empty /home directory which would become covered by
  the mount of the extra home partition. If such a /home directory
  exists we will prevent the partition from being mounted
  automatically
- patch by Nat Friedman <nat@novell.com> which adds an argument
  to kiwi, --ignore-repos, which causes Kiwi to Ignore all repositories
  specified so-far, in XML or otherwise.  This option should be used in
  conjunction with subsequent calls to --add-repo to specify repositories
  at the command-line that override previous specifications.
- patch by Nat Friedman <nat@novell.com> which makes Kiwi's log files
  include seconds, which is very useful when you're optimizing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov 18 11:22:13 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

- use default block size for mksquashfs call. This also means
  you can't use squashfs compressed images in ramdisk devices
  without the following patch:

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

- added read-only check for mounting the repositories. If a
  repository path has no write permissions it doesn't make sense to
  use aufs/unionfs to implement a read-only mount. Use bind mount
  directly in that situation (#339503)
- use setctsid to call a systemException shell. Fix call of
  boot shell on /dev/tty2
- aufs back again in SUSE 11.0 :-)
- allow use of perl debugger

Mon Nov  5 09:19:23 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

- v1.82
- optional split section added by James Willcox <james@ximian.com>
  The following applies to the new split image type:
  ---snip---
  In the new split image type, files/directories can exist in one
  of three places:

1) read-only disk area
    2) read-write disk area
    3) tmpfs

By default, every directory is in tmpfs and every file is a symbolic
  link to the read-only location.  The patch I have attached allows you to
  specify which files/directories should be in one of the two other
  locations.  For instance, take the following:

This would copy /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab to tmpfs and put /boot in the
  read-write disk area.  Note, however, that none of the files
  *within* /boot are affected.  They remain symbolic links to the real
  files in the read-only area.  The main advantage to putting just a
  directory in the read-write area is that any new files created there are
  stored on the disk instead of tmpfs.  Of course files can be specified
  here too, and wildcards are allowed.  Example:

This time, all files and directories within /boot are copied to the
  read-write disk image as well.

The 'split' information is optional.  When left out, no read-write disk
  image is produced since everything is either read-only or on tmpfs in
  that case.

- v1.79
- added KDE profile to createLiveCD script
- fixed attribute flags check, check for empty value too
- added support for kiwibrokenmodule kernel parameter. A list
  of comma seperated modules which should _not_ become loaded
  even if they are selected to get loaded (#337545)
- added support for kiwinoswapsearch kernel parameter. If set
  the isoboot (live systems) boot image will not setup a swap
  space or swap file (#337533)
- added cleanLoop function for KIWIBoot objects. clean loop
  and device mapper setup in case of an interrupt signal
- fixed interrupt signal handling (#337009)
- added option --prebuiltbootimage which allows to specify another
  than the default search path for the pre-built boot images
- added option --listxmlinfo which prints information from
  config.xml. Right now this function is used for internal reasons
  only but can be enhanced to print more useful information
- fixed use of --logfile option
- using new split image system by James Willcox <james@ximian.com>
  Thanks James, great job !
  ---snip---
  The split image type has changed:
  Given a read-only image, a tarball of directories and symbolic
  links is created which mirrors the structure of the read-only image.
  The symbolic link for each file points to the location where the
  read-only image will be mounted.  For instance, /usr/lib/libfoo.so
  will be a link to /read-only/usr/lib/libfoo.so.  After creating this
  tarball, it is placed in the read-only image at /rootfs.tar.bz2.
  At mount time, this tarball is unpacked into a tmpfs and used as the
  root filesystem.  The advantage of this approach over a typical 'split'
  filesystem is that new files can be created in every directory
  instead of just a few pre-defined toplevel trees.

This patch also goes one level further and separates some directories
  (/etc, /root, /home, /var/lib/rpm) to be put onto a separate read-write
  image.  The advantage of this is that when deployed onto a diskful
  machine, any files created in those trees will be stored on the disk
  instead of tmpfs.  We may want to have a way for images to specify those
  paths directly instead of having a hard-coded list.

Secondly, the patch adds a hook mechanism to the netboot script.  With
  this, custom images can get their own script code executed at various
  points.  This is great if, for instance, you need to conditionally load
  kernel modules with specific parameters.  It can be used by simply
  creating a file like /hooks/<hook_name>.sh with the custom bits inside.
  These scripts are sourced from the init script so they have access to
  the same variables/functions.

Thu Oct 25 12:09:15 CEST 2007 - ms@suse.de

- v1.77
- fixed exit code of kiwi call. Some module destructors call
  external processes which causes the exit code to be the value
  of this process, which is apparently wrong. (#336734)
- added support for pre-built boot images. To enable the lookup
  one had to specify the attribute checkprebuilt="true" within the
  type section(s). If specified the prebuilt boot image must reside
  in /usr/share/kiwi/image/*boot/*-prebuilt/. The search is based
  on the boot="..." attribute given in the type section (#334475)
- moved call of config.sh at the end of all configurations
- moved in place repo code into extra function called
  baseSetupInPlaceSVNRepository. This function can be called
  on demand in config.sh with the directories the repo should
  take control over as function arguments
- added creation of md5 file which was skipped due to performance
  patches. In case kiwi directly writes the system image data onto
  a device mapper partition the md5 file needs to be created
  afterwards (#337096)

  exception into a shell exception. related to (#299663)
- added option nocolor to prevent color output (#328298)
- make perl-Net-Jabber an option not a requirement
- created common functions for setting up grub and change all
  suse-linuxrc / suse-preinit files accordingly
- opened log server for XML based milestone logs on default
  port number 9000. One can change the port by setting
  our $LogServerPort = ... in $HOME/.kiwirc. The server runs
  as long as kiwi runs and accept a small set of commands.
  Right now only the server is there but no commands exists.
  This will follow the next days.  
- added optional defaultbaseroot element to preferences section
- added optional baseroot attribute to type section
- update documentation concerning the new element/attribute 
- added KIWISocket module for milestone server
- added image name to be displayed in the boot loader setup
- fixed TFTP server lookup

  option. Patch by Christoph Thiel <cthiel@novell.com>
- Currently when KIWI writes out the image config file for netboot, it
  sometimes gets the partition size wrong for partitions that are marked
  to be just big enough for the image. Patched by
  James Willcox <james@ximian.com>
- added experimental callSUSEInitrdScripts to KIWILinuxRC.sh
  The function is not called right now but should be in the
  future to ensure a better pre-init environment for SUSE

Mon Sep 24 11:06:10 CEST 2007 - ms@suse.de

- fixed documentation typos (#327668)
- added config-cdroot.sh to be called if existent. The script is called
  with access to the image environment and within the CD root directory.
  The call takes place outside of a chroot because the CD root has no
  accessable root tree with bash or other programs available (#327799)
- added better failed message if loop mount has failed
- added posbios as allowed tool in initrd
- allow tool parameter to suseStripInitrd() function to
  prevent the given tools from being deleted

  a live ISO image
- don't install grub if initrd and/or menu.lst can't be
  created in case of an oemboot system 
- fixed mount in oemboot if not unified system
- better failed message if system image is too small to hold
  the boot image data required for virtual disk boot

Tue Sep 18 20:01:01 CEST 2007 - ms@suse.de

- reread partition table after oemboot installation
- fixed repartition code for squasfs/aufs based system images
  installed by oemboot
- fixed virtual disk size calculation if squashfs is used
- don't throw a reboot exception in mountSystem but return
  with code 1 to allow caller to check the return value
- added support for $HOME/.kiwirc file. It's perl syntax and
  allows to set the variables $BasePath and $System. By default
  /usr/share/kiwi is used for $BasePath and /usr/share/kiwi/image
  is used for $System (#308597)
- use correct passwd and group template file of the
  distribution. image descriptions should _not_ provide
  a passwd or group file within the image description root/
  path anymore (#297610)

- fixed suse-isolinux exit code

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 17 08:44:37 CEST 2007 - ms@suse.de

- added call of posbios if installed to obtain BIOS information
  uploaded into the registry file while a new network client is
  registered
- added kernelCheck for installed and active kernel in
  netboot boot image, suse-linuxrc
- added image notification if a new image is installed on the
  client via PXE in the netboot boot image, suse-linuxrc
- added support for base image usage. This means you can use
  the contents of a given directory as the base image instead of
  starting with a clean and empty directory. kiwi will use the
  overlay technique with either aufs or unionfs to build the
  target directory as combination of the base (--base-root) image
  and a new image directory optionally specified with the --root
  option. As result the image root directory will contain only a
  part of the complete image which is the data not part of the
  base image or the data which has been touched/copied. In
  principal all copy-on-write actions within the combined filesystem
  causes data to be written in the image root directory. base
  image support works for the prepare and create steps of kiwi
   
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Sep 12 12:04:19 CEST 2007 - ms@suse.de

- show the output of --list-profiles in a nicer format
- added installed OS version check for oemboot
- added revision information to kiwi --version
- added filesystem check for unified write extend. If first
  mount failed, try to check filesystem, if next mount failed
  re-create the write filesystem of the unified tree
- added support for unified virtual disk images to oemboot.
  In this case the kiwi initrd will not be replaced by the
  distribution default initrd
- added additional patternPackageType attribute which allows
  to distinguish between pattern and package references of a
  specified pattern. For example one can use only required
  patterns with patternType="onlyRequired" but want to use
  all suggested packages of these required packages with
  patternPackageType="plusSuggested" (#309989)
- added support for USB install sticks.
- fixed USB stick search, check if device is active
- added CRNAME and IPADDR values to upload file
- added CDEject function to KIWILinuxRC and eject the install
  CD when installation has finished

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 10 16:06:53 CEST 2007 - ms@suse.de

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Sep  6 16:51:01 CEST 2007 - ms@suse.de

- v1.61
- changed default NBD device to be /dev/nb0
- added support for NBD swap space if NBDROOT is used. Patch by
  Jigish Gohil <jigish.gohil@gmail.com>
- added oemboot description for suse-10.3
- implemented the previous system installer code from isoinstboot
  into oemboot. The mechanism is based on a virtual disk image
  created before. Using the kiwi call:

kiwi --bootcd <oemboot-initrd> --bootcd-system <virtual-disk-system>

will create an ISO image which serves as installation media.
  Burned on a CD or DVD one can boot from it and the oemboot initrd
  automatically will install the disk image on the disk. Please note
  like before with isoinstboot all data on the disk will be lost.
  The system will be rebooted automatically and the same oemboot initrd
  takes care for the initial boot of the virtual disk system image.
  The oemboot initrd will adapt the disk geometry to the real disk
  and will boot into the system.
- added oemboot installcd documentation
- added patch by Cornelius Schumacher <cschum@novell.com>
  which allows optional remove of root directory

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep  3 16:06:32 CEST 2007 - ms@suse.de

  is preventing a few NFS boot required binaries from being deleted
- added patch by James Willcox <james@ximian.com> which implements
  profile support into kiwi's config.xml format

**** description ****  
  It allows you to maintain one image description while
  still allowing for some variation in the set of packages and drivers
  that are included.  For instance, a good use of profiles would be to
  have a 'gnome' and 'kde' profile for a LiveCD.  The patch adds two new
  command line arguments to kiwi: --list-profiles and --add-profile.
  * The first allows you to simply list the profiles available in a given
    image. Each one has a name and description.
  * The second option allows you to specify which profiles should be
    included when preparing the image.

The other part of the patch modifies the config.xml and the code
  which reads it.  You can now use the following to create a set of
  profiles in config.xml:

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

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

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

  "fixed" determines wheter this repository could be replaced
  by a foreign node or not. Default for this option attribute
  is "fixed"

- v1.19
- added support for squashfs/unionfs by James Willcox <james@ximian.com>
  the main point is to add support for squashfs/unionfs images.
  Using squashfs is straightforward -- just set 'squashfs' as the
  image type.  Using unionfs is a little trickier, and only netboot
  is supported currently.  You need to add something like
  UNIONFS_CONFIG=/dev/hda2,/dev/hda3 to config.<MAC> where the first
  partition is the writable one (where an ext2 filesystem will
  be created), and the second is the read-only filesystem (squashfs,
  cramfs, whatever).

Tue Feb 13 17:14:08 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

- activated zypper support, currently broken in zypper
- added kiwi-images-boot requirement

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 13 14:01:43 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

- exclude archs not supported by OBS

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 12 14:14:22 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

- added needsrootforbuild
- added kiwi XSD scheme for XML validation
- added --recheck option while calling grub-install
- fixed USB stick detection if no serial identifier exists
  Thanks to: Guy Coste <gcoste@novell.com>

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 12 10:08:35 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

- better XML checking (not only syntax check). In the long
  run I would like to have DTD here but currently the document
  type is not stable
- added hwinfo.$DHCPCHADDR file for machine registration
- added architecture to hwtype.$DHCPCHADDR file

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb  9 15:02:47 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

- added %arch tag for source specifications
- added arch=... attribute for package tags

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb  9 10:48:02 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

- fixed design bug. If someone wants to prepare an image on one
  machine and would like to create it on another machine its not
  a good idea to refer to the machines filesystem structure. Therefore
  all meta data must be present in the image preparation (chroot)
  directory

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb  7 15:35:46 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

- added isoboot/suse-10.3 boot image
- added modprobe.conf.local (max_loop=32) for buildhosts
- changed live CD/DVD setup to resize RW part on the fly instead
  of downloading RW part + free space in one file

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb  7 10:07:51 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb  7 09:17:30 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

- added patch from James Willcox <james@ximian.com> to
  fix the default search path if no path is set for preparing
  the image

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb  6 16:13:25 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

  list if set

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jan 30 15:19:55 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

  compatibility

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 19 14:57:45 CET 2007 - ms@suse.de

  into kiwi-images-boot and a kiwi-images-<Systems> packages

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Dec  1 12:25:14 CET 2006 - ms@suse.de

- added basic system to inherit data from one config
  description to another. Update documentation concerning the
  inherit attribute
- fixed URL handler not to start if URL is not pointing to the
  network. This will increase startup speed in case of local
  build

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Nov 17 16:37:28 CET 2006 - ms@suse.de

- added ata/ tree to boot images for 10.2 and 10.2-smp

  stick, works great :-)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Nov 14 13:24:31 CET 2006 - ms@suse.de

- added support for system image on stick. One need to use
  option --bootstick in combination with --bootstick-system.
  The parameter to --bootstick must be an usbboot initrd
  provided by kiwi. The parameter to --bootstick-system is
  a kiwi generated system image. Support for this is <alpha>

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Nov  9 09:49:57 CET 2006 - ms@suse.de

- added image size check to initrd. The needed space is now
  displayed while downloading the image. If there is not enough
  space the download will not start

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct 28 17:07:26 CEST 2006 - ms@suse.de

- creating an ISO image requires kiwi to implicitly create a boot
  image which is copied on the CD. It is very important that the
  kernel of the image and the boot image is the same. According to
  this I changed the code to use the same <repository> information
  for the boot image as it was used during prepare of the main image.
  The additional meta information is stored in

image-root/image/main::Prepare

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 25 16:11:42 CEST 2006 - ms@suse.de

- added netboot descriptions for 10.1[-smp]/10.2[-smp]

  description directory itself. This is usefull if you want
  to add an additional repository in your image description
  tree for example

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 23 20:33:38 CEST 2006 - ms@suse.de

- changed isolinux description files in cdboot/

  the filesystem as module now

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct 20 11:47:24 CEST 2006 - ms@suse.de

- fix for linuxrc sata detection. The order to load the
  modules piix and ata_piix is important to detect the disk

Thu Oct 12 14:35:32 CEST 2006 - ms@suse.de

- added /srv/* and /var/log/* to the in-place repository
- added support for SuSE patterns. Patterns have been
  added with openSuSE 10.2 and can be used to describe a
  package set with one statement. To use this system the
  XML description provides the tag:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Sep 12 16:31:53 CEST 2006 - ms@suse.de

- added support for split images. These are images which
  consist of two portions. The first one contains the Read/Write
  data and the second contains the ReadOnly data according to
  current FHS. Each image can have its own filesystem which
  means you can put the ReadOnly part into a compressed filesystem
  as well. Disadvantage of such an image is that it requires a
  boot infrastructure to become activated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Sep  8 10:46:17 CEST 2006 - ms@suse.de
