%changelog -n kiwi
* Thu Oct 22 2009 - ms@suse.de
- prevent OEMRepart to set active flag on more than
  one partition (bnc #549044)
* Thu Oct 22 2009 - ms@suse.de
- changed Restore menu item to Install/Restore (bnc #549101)
* Thu Aug 13 2009 - ms@suse.de
- removed pigz from kiwi-tools package. pigz is now an
  own package maintained by Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
* Fri Aug 07 2009 - ms@suse.de
- added dialog based progress information when restoring
  the recovery archive files (bnc #510041)
* Thu Aug 06 2009 - ms@suse.de
- clear screen after dialog window disappears (bnc #510041)
- wait for process to finish when sending int signal (bnc #525986)
* Fri Jul 31 2009 - ms@suse.de
- use blockdev to check partition and disk size (bnc #527016)
* Thu Jul 30 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed CD install image MBR ID check
* Wed Jul 29 2009 - ms@suse.de
- deactivate mbr id check on oem install (bnc #525682)
* Mon Jul 27 2009 - ms@suse.de
- added cciss Smart Array for oem initrd (bnc #525176)
- leave libncursesw inside the initrd for dialog use
* Thu Jul 16 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed xenbridge network setup if bridge name is set to
  an empty string (bnc #515404)
* Wed Jul 15 2009 - ms@suse.de
- openssl-certs does not exist on SLE10, changed to openssl
  for SLE10 boot images, related to (bnc #491475)
* Tue Jul 14 2009 - ms@suse.de
- added openssl-certs to bootstrap section of SLE boot
  image templates to allow use of SLE update repositories (bnc #491475)
* Tue Jul 14 2009 - ms@suse.de
- added suseSetupProduct function (bnc #520268)
* Mon Jul 13 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed ram only netboot image download (bnc #519055)
* Thu Jul 02 2009 - ms@suse.de
- Studio containment workaround. We need to sync manually
  before umounting
* Wed Jun 24 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.
* Tue Jun 23 2009 - ms@suse.de
- added virtio kernel modules to boot images (bnc #515543)
* Fri Jun 19 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed checkType function if flags and filesystem attributes
  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)
* Wed Jun 10 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed kernel/initrd links in setupSUSEInitrd (bnc #507261)
* Wed Jun 10 2009 - ms@suse.de
- vmxboot: call searchBIOSBootDevice only on initial deployment
  if the kiwi initrd is still in place for a subsequent boot
  use the root variable from the kernel commandline to find
  the boot disk, related to (bnc #507261)
* Thu Jun 04 2009 - ms@suse.de
- default to "no" when the recovery dialog is displayed
* Tue Jun 02 2009 - ms@suse.de
- allow use of zypper iso:// URL type in kiwi (bnc #498437)
* Wed May 27 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed OEM recovery, don't check mbr id (bnc #503653)
- set inode count for system partition only (bnc #495135)
- don't run path generation for iso:// and file:// paths
  if zypper is used (bnc #498437)
* Tue May 26 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed oem format="iso" install mode (bnc #506983)
- use dialog for asking questions (bnc #503653)
* Mon May 25 2009 - ms@suse.de
- added resize_inode feature to filesystem before resizing.
  This will reserve space so the block group descriptor
  table may grow in the future (bnc #498683)
* Tue May 19 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed volid setup in case of spaces (bnc #500501)
* Sun May 17 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed group setup with correct group id (bnc #503117)
- added optional volid setup for iso's (bnc #500501)
* Thu May 07 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed quotation of realname for user setup (bnc #500537)
- added bash quotation function (bnc #500537)
* Tue May 05 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed activateBootPartition code (bnc #500454)
* Mon May 04 2009 - ms@suse.de

  --
  * 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

  from the internal build service
* Tue Sep 16 2008 - ms@suse.de
- v2.77
- 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)
- fixed detection of boot device in oemboot by using the BIOS
  id value 0x80. This fixes the detection of the wrong storage
  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)
- added custom MBR ID for virtual disks. If the BIOS 0x80 check
  fails we still have the chance to find the correct boot device
  by the /boot/grub/mbrid file written by kiwi itself

* Tue Sep 09 2008 - ms@suse.de
- v2.75
- don't use i686 glibc for the boot images, it could cause
  the init process to hang and therefore locks the boot process
  completely (bnc #310001)
- added schema adaptions for instsource creation
- make create instsource a non root task, requested
  by autobuild team (mls,jcborn)
* Fri Sep 05 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 2008 - ms@suse.de
- v2.65
- code cleanup, introduce partition table functions:

- update migration table for openSUSE 11.0
- fixed suseStripKernel function to work with ppc
- added suseCloneRunlevel function which allows to

  data persistently
- introduction of new attribute "local" (values boolean) in <instrepo>
  element. Tells kiwi to use link instead of lwp-download (much faster)
  For OBS scenario local trees will be used. Patch by Jan Bornschlegel

- removed guest configuration attributes from <packages> section
  and add new main sections for VMware -> <vmareconfig> and
  for Xen -> <xenconfig>. This change requires a new scheme
  version 2.4 and the xsl stylesheet convert20to24.xsl. The
  conversion will _not_ add one of the new xen|vmareconfig
  sections but removes the invalid VM configuration related
  attributes from the packages sections (bnc #397528)

  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 03 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

  bootloader code according to the architecture. At the moment
  only x*86 and x86_64 have code for it
- fixed grub title setup if multiple kernels are installed
* Thu May 29 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 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)
- update documentation:
  * added a chapter how to build appliances with kiwi
* Wed May 28 2008 - ms@suse.de
- don't call kiwiMount function if NFSROOT is used
* Wed May 28 2008 - ms@suse.de
- fixed blocks/blocksize value used if the remote image is
  compressed. Normally this information was created from the
  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 2008 - ms@suse.de
- added sense code checking for CD/DVD drives (bnc #390934)
  The required driveready application is part of the kiwi-tools

- added id attribute. The optional attribute id allows to
  set an identification number which appears as file /etc/ImageID
  within the image
* Wed May 21 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.
* Tue May 20 2008 - ms@suse.de
- remove temporary .buildenv file after prepare (bnc #392054)

- v2.21
- added tar program to be available in boot images

  some (not all) hardware. The relocation code will move the boot
  catalog to the first possible sector

  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

  you can't use squashfs compressed images in ramdisk devices
  without the following patch:

  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

* Mon Nov 05 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:
  <split>
  <temporary>
  <file name="/etc/fstab"/>
  <file name="/etc/mtab"/>
  </temporary>
  <persistent>
  <file name="/boot"/>
  </persistent>
  </split>
  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:
  <split>
  <temporary>
  <file name="/etc/fstab"/>
  <file name="/etc/mtab"/>
  </temporary>
  <persistent>
  <file name="/boot"/>
  <file name="/boot/*"/>
  </persistent>
  </split>
  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.

  the isoboot (live systems) boot image will not setup a swap
  space or swap file (#337533)

  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

  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.

- 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)

- 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.

  linuxrc to allow changing the image file name via kernel
  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
  based systems. This is related to missing udev support
  and bootsplash problems during boot
* Wed Sep 26 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
- added experimental jabber client to kiwi, which can be
  configured in $HOME/.kiwirc
  my $JabberServer    = "server-name"

* Thu Sep 20 2007 - ms@suse.de
- fixed oemboot linuxrc for vmx raw boot (#309800)
- fixed repartition code in oemboot for small disks (#309800)

  a live ISO image
- don't install grub if initrd and/or menu.lst can't be
  created in case of an oemboot system

- better failed message if system image is too small to hold
  the boot image data required for virtual disk boot
* Tue Sep 18 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)
* Tue Sep 18 2007 - ms@suse.de
- fixed missing message file for vmx type
- added usage information for --add-profile option

- missing mksquashfs is now handled as fatal error
* Mon Sep 17 2007 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suse-isolinux exit code
* Mon Sep 17 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 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 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 06 2007 - ms@suse.de

* Tue Sep 04 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.

  and will boot into the system.

  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:
  <profiles>
  <profile name="gnome" description="The GNOME desktop"/>
  <profile name="kde"   description="The KDE desktop"/>
  <profile name="www"   description="The Apache, PHP, etc"/>
  </profiles>
  To mark a set of packages as belonging to a profile, simply annotate
  the 'packages' tag with the 'profiles' attribute.  For example,
  <packages type="image" profiles="gnome">
  ...
  </packages>
  If a given set of packages belongs to more than one profile, separate
  them with a comma.  Example:
  <packages type="image" profiles="gnome,kde,webserver"/>
  ...
  </packages>
  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.

  These images could use a foreign repository for building but
  could also have additional repos in its configuration. To handle
  them correctly a status attribute with either "replaceable" or
  "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).

- 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

* Sat Oct 28 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

  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.
