%description -n kiwi-instsource
This package contains modules used for installation source creation.
With those it is possible to create a valid installation repository
from blank RPM file trees. The created tree can be used directly for
the image creation process afterwards. This package allows using the
--create-instsource <path-to-config.xml> switch.

%changelog
* Thu Jun  6 2013 ms@suse.de
- fixed getSingleInstSourceSatSolvable()
  instead of rely on the suffix of a file it's better to
  actually check if it's compressed or non compressed data
  due to redirections and symlinks it might happen that a
  file name e.g 'packages' is resolved into 'packages.en.gz'
  kiwi downloaded the file and failed to check that it's
  a compressed file (bnc #822247)
* Tue Jun  4 2013 ms@suse.de
- fixed fetchFile function. The variable $imageBlkSize is
  not initialized, so it is better to use $chunk
* Tue May 14 2013 ms@suse.de
- if a targetdevice is used instead of a loop we need to wait
  for udev to finish the event loop in the same way as it is
  done in bindDiskPartitions() when binding the partitions of
  a loop device (bnc #819772)
* Thu May  2 2013 ms@suse.de
- netboot: fixed setup of swap device in $imageSwapDevice
  If the partition table stays untouched the variable
  was not set which caused a broken fstab entry for
  swap. This patch makes sure the swap device variable
  is set in any case
* Sun Apr 21 2013 ms@suse.de
- fixed SUSE product creation if specified MAIN_PRODUCT
  does not match the product name. In this case the collection
  of products is skipped with a warning message
* Thu Apr 18 2013 ms@suse.de
- netboot: The sum2 variable in the suse-linuxrc download code
  conflicts with the same variable set in the updateNeeded function
  Because of that the check for the first cycle in the download
  loop did not work in all cases.
* Wed Apr 17 2013 ms@suse.de
- fixed setupBootLoaderGrub to write the udev device name
  into /boot/grub/device.map instead of the unix kernel
  device name (bnc #813216)
* Tue Feb  5 2013 adrian@suse.de
- make hybrid iso call for products non-fatal
* Tue Feb  5 2013 ms@suse.de
- netboot: following is required for (fate #314413) and (fate #314414)
  + add support for SERVERTYPE=local for fetchFile and putFile.
    the SERVER variable then points to a local directory
  + use locally cached MD5 file if it has the same checksum as the
    remote file, this is enabled by setting KIWI_LOCAL_CACHE_DIR
    Setting of these variables will be handled in SLEPOS specific
    hooks.
* Wed Jan 16 2013 ms@suse.de
- fix the automatic alias generation to remove '$' from the
  name, this allows users to use SMT repos without having to
  specify an alias in the config.xml file
* Fri Jan 11 2013 ms@suse.de
- changed zypper call to use one call to install products, patterns
  and packages instead of splitting that up into single calls. This
  has the advantage that zypper can better decide for packages which
  provides similar functionality (bnc #796062)
* Tue Jan  8 2013 ms@suse.de
- fixed 'run out of space' problem in LVM setup. use
  a relative 20%% (min 30M) spare space per volume (bnc #791612)
* Fri Dec 21 2012 ms@suse.de
- create LVM volume filesystems with suitable number of inodes
  for filesystems which require this. Occasionally it happens
  that we run out of space when using a custom LVM volume setup.
  The reason for this is that the filesystem cannot allocate
  more inodes because kiwi calculates the inode count for the root
  volume but not for the sub lvm volumes e.g /var, /srv, etc
  according to the volume setup. This commit fixes this in a way
  that kiwi creates a suitable number of inodes for each
  filesystem inside the LVM (bnc #791612)
* Fri Dec 21 2012 ms@suse.de
- removed duplicate rt profile (bnc #793305)
* Tue Dec 18 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed /dev/shm location which was only a directory in the kiwi
  initrd. This caused /etc/init.d/boot to mount a tmpfs to /dev/shm
  which hides all values we wrote there. Thus the warpclock fix
  had no effect as reported in (bnc #786730)
* Wed Dec 12 2012 ms@suse.de
- due to the xen splash attachment check the install media is
  missing important data because it packs the wrong initrd on
  the iso. This commit moves the xen splash check to the right
  place (bnc #793099)
* Wed Dec  5 2012 ms@suse.de
- make sure REDIRECT tty for blogd is setup only
  on supported archs (bnc #789411)
* Tue Dec  4 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed behavior of /etc/init.d/boot.clock which reads a value
  in /dev/shm/warpclock. The value is provided by a mkinitrd
  binary in /lib/mkinitrd/bin/warpclock. It looks like it's
  required to store that information for a proper localtime
  system clock setup. There is not good documentation about
  this magic but to stay compatible the warpclock code from
  mkinitrd was ported over to the kiwi first boot initrd
  This fixes (bnc #786730)
* Tue Dec  4 2012 ms@suse.de
- added an architecture check for KIWIIsoLinux::createHybrid()
  on architectures e.g ppc and ia64 the embedding of a partition
  table into the ISO will not work. Thus the check will issue
  a warning but proceed and does not fail
* Wed Nov 28 2012 ms@suse.de
- make sure the initrd boot environment does not export
  the REDIRECT variable when init is called (bnc #789411)
* Mon Nov 26 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed setupInstallStick() if called in Studio mode. If this
  function is called with a disk device as reference it expects
  the target USB stick to be plugged in, in order to create the
  install image directly on that stick. For Studio this does
  not work because the target stick is never attached to the
  containment within this call happens. Thus this fix creates
  the install USB stick image in a loop device
* Thu Nov 15 2012 ms@suse.de
- make sure possibly left over dhcpcd pid file from a -T (test) call
  is removed before requesting the IP address for the interface. It
  has turned out that the sle10 dhcpcd has this bug and kiwi works
  around this one by actively checking for a pid file after the
  dhcpcd -T (test) call (bnc #787924)
* Tue Nov 13 2012 ms@suse.de
- netboot: fixed dhcpcd '-r' option name clash. Older versions of
  dhcpcd use that option in a completely different meaning, thus
  we distinguish the call by the the capability of the '-p' option
  (interface persistency) which was introduced in newer versions
  of dhcpcd only (bnc #787924)
* Wed Nov  7 2012 ms@suse.de
- added support for reading /etc/kiwi/repoalias file in
  KIWIURL.pm. The repoalias definition can be used to
  mirror a repo path to another location (bnc #788536)
* Wed Oct 10 2012 ms@suse.de
- added support for dmraid fake-raid controllers (bnc #708712)
* Tue Oct  2 2012 ms@suse.de
- added a 10sec timeout for the language selection (bnc #778570)
* Wed Sep 26 2012 ms@suse.de
- cleanup spec file, correctly set virt-utils Requires (bnc #782092)
* Wed Sep 19 2012 ms@suse.de
- make sure /etc/sysconfig/kernel contains the virtio modules
  so that SLE10 mkinitrd picks it up correctly (bnc #747346)
* Sat Sep 15 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed KIWIImageFormat to work with a targetdevice as well
- fixed clean_loop in KIWIImageFormat. due to mkinitrd mounting
  sys clean_loop has to take care to release sys before umount
  of the loop
- fixed ec2 setup when only grub2 is installed. The xen loading
  system requires some grub related files to pre present
* Fri Sep 14 2012 ms@suse.de
- allow ec2 format creation when in --targetstudio mode (bnc #779360)
* Tue Sep 11 2012 ms@suse.de
- The fetchFile() return value is broken: it returns status of the
  last command in the pipe. With atftp it works ok, but with curl
  it returns the status of the final dd command, which is always
  zero (bnc #779701)
* Mon Sep 10 2012 ms@suse.de
- changed processing of build results:
  * build within a subdirectory created below the specified
    destination directory. The name of this subdir is build
    out of the image type and the used profile(s)
  * at the end of the build move the result files to the
    specified destination directory to keep the system
    backward compatible
  * add option --archive-image which allows to pack the
    build results into a tar archive. The name of the archive
    is build out of the image name, type and used profile(s)
    This functionality was requested by (bnc #778787)
- fixed startshell.c to compile without warnings
- fixed setupPackageKeys() to work without pubring.gpg
* Tue Sep  4 2012 ms@suse.de
- netboot: enable multicast for system image and transfer
  to a block device, respectively disable it for any other
  transfer (bnc #773649)
* Thu Aug 30 2012 ms@suse.de
- allow to overwrite the architecture when computing
  package dependencies in the KIWISatSolver module. This
  allows to provide package information for other than
  the real architecture. In order to set the value the
  environment variable: KIWI_REPO_INFO_ARCH must be set
* Wed Aug 29 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed XSL stylesheets to correctly convert the schema
* Tue Aug 28 2012 ms@suse.de
- allow to overwrite the architecture when computing
  package dependencies in the KIWIXMLInfo module. This
  allows to provide package information for other than
  the real architecture. In order to set the value the
  environment variable: KIWI_REPO_INFO_ARCH must be set.
* Fri Aug 24 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed qcow2 format creation. Invalid options are passed and
  option -c was missing to indicate compression
* Tue Aug 21 2012 ms@suse.de
- auto adapt image size only if size was not explicitly set (bnc #775278)
- make sure specified size is used for virtual disk images even
  if the calculated minimum size is bigger than the specified
  value (bnc #775278)
* Thu Aug  2 2012 ms@suse.de
- check blkid before mounting in searchBiosBootDevice (bnc #773861)
- netboot: added function pxePartitionSetupCheck() which is
  used to validate the PART information whether the requested
  partition sizes can be reached according to the size of the
  disk. This implements the request in (bnc #771592)
* Fri Jul 20 2012 ms@suse.de
- netboot: fixed use of multicast for compressed images.
  With commit 7a7389f2e3f2b3d92b38c08455b0c6da15569269
  support for multicast based transfer of compressed
  images was added. Thus the checks which disable it
  are obsolete now (bnc #771898)
* Thu Jul 12 2012 ms@suse.de
- don't use cat when reading data from a disk block device
  use qemu-img convert instead which takes care for sparse
  information
* Tue Jul 10 2012 ms@suse.de
- suseStripKernel has to be called before suseStripInitrd when
  inside the old studio containment. That's because all the
  cmd_real overwrites studio does are removed by suseStripInitrd
  which causes trouble on all subsequent calls. In order to
  change that with respect to commit 8eaf7ea6f (bnc #766720)
  I had also had to move out suseStripModules and suseStripFirmware
  as extra calls inside the images.sh scripts
* Wed Jul  4 2012 ms@suse.de
- don't dump an image file when in --targetstudio mode
* Thu Jun 28 2012 ms@suse.de
- netboot: dhcpcd works with timeout 20s, kiwi used 40s, so one half
  of the time it waited with no reason. This patch runs 'dhcpcd -T'
  again after 22s, so the time is used effectively. It also helps in
  situatios when the link needs more time to start, e.g with
  wpa_supplicant and the first dhcp packets are lost.
* Mon Jun 25 2012 ms@suse.de
- netboot: improved testing for networks by using -T option (fate #313338)
* Fri Jun 22 2012 ms@suse.de
- strip kernel modules and firmware after the function
  baseUnpackBootIncludes() called in images.sh (bnc #766720)
* Thu Jun 21 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed setLogFile path writable check (bnc #728885)
* Thu Jun 21 2012 ms@suse.de
- make sure wpa_supplicant stays inside the initrd (bnc #766720)
* Tue Jun 19 2012 ms@suse.de
- s390: make sure we wait for udev to finish after fdasd is done
* Mon Jun 18 2012 ms@suse.de
- netboot: added more sophisticated partition table check. The
  partition table is analyzed to check if it's possible to
  run the update check and also to verify partition order, types
  and sizes with some tolerance (so for example the change to 4k
  sectors would not cause repartitioning). Additionally in a
  RAID setup the checks would check both disks.
* Mon Jun 18 2012 ms@suse.de
- preserve haveged, related to (bnc #766720)
* Fri Jun 15 2012 ms@suse.de
- disable use of basePackBootIncludes/baseUnpackBootIncludes in boot
  image descriptions. The bootincluded data can't be removed or
  reduced that way which has a bad impact if only parts of e.g
  kernel-firmware should be used (bnc #766720)
* Thu Jun 14 2012 ms@suse.de
- removed kernel-firmware from netboot descriptions for SLE (bnc #766720)
- don't umount dev and sys filesystems in umountSystemFileSystems
  this is done by kiwi in the cleanup phase
* Wed Jun 13 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed partedGetPartitionID() function to return correct ID (bnc #766720)
* Wed Jun 13 2012 ms@suse.de
- reread partition table after recreation of the VTOC table
* Wed Jun 13 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed parameter handling in umountSystemFileSystems
* Wed Jun 13 2012 ms@suse.de
- s390: initialize loader variable with zipl by default
- s390 netboot: recreated the vtoc table with option 'r'
  instead of 'u' which includes the deletion all partitions
* Wed Jun 13 2012 ms@suse.de
- s390: fixed normalizeRepartInput to work with fdasd
- added option --targetstudio which is used to specify a program
  which creates the target device node to create the image on.
  In contrast to the targetdevice option there will be no image
  file dumped from the specified device. This option is mainly
  used in SuSE Studio
* Mon Jun 11 2012 ms@suse.de
- added support for netboot on s390 via zPXE (fate #312134)
* Wed Jun  6 2012 ms@suse.de
- netboot: allow multicast TFTP for compressed images (fate #313083)
  * the predownload hook detects that it is possible to use service
    partition for intermediate files and exports the temp dir path
    in $FETCH_FILE_TEMP_DIR
  * the fetchfile() method uses the temp directory and exports the
    intermediate file path in $FETCH_FILE_TEMP_FILE if it was created
  * the postdownload hook deletes $FETCH_FILE_TEMP_FILE. Later we can
    extend it to manage a cache of several image files.
- netboot: added robust detection of the active network interface
  * call dhcpcd on all available network interfaces and select
    either BOOTIF from pxe or one of the interfaces which got
    a dhcp reply (fate #313338)
* Thu May 31 2012 ms@suse.de
- allow init=/path/to/program option for kiwi images

  of 10sec for the ext|syslinux setup
* Fri May 18 2012 ms@suse.de
- fix updateMTAB() to create a /etc/mtab symlink if /proc/self/mounts
  exists. Otherwise leave /etc/mtab untouched (bnc #755915)
* Tue May 15 2012 ms@suse.de
- added support for the vhd subformat=fixed type
* Sat May 12 2012 ms@suse.de
- changed setupNetwork* functions in a way that they check
  for the presence of the $root device and in case of an
  error and an existing root device LOCAL_BOOT is set and
  the system try to proceed with local boot of the installed
  system (fate #313338)
- additionally create md5 sum's for the kernel and the optional
  created splash initrd (fate #313338)
* Fri May  4 2012 ms@suse.de
- netboot: use --metadata=0.9 format for raid setup (bnc #760713)
- allow evaluation of $DO_NOT_INSTALL_BOOTLOADER variable in
  netboot suse-preinit to prevent installation of the bootloader
  by a variable (bnc #760502)

* Thu Apr 26 2012 ms@suse.de
- don't remove wireless drivers and firmware (bnc #759341)
* Thu Apr 19 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed compare of object addresses by using refaddr. This is
  more robust because objects can overload operators like '!='
* Mon Apr  2 2012 ms@suse.de
- removed obsolete test and import of grub binary from initrd
  the extracted binary is not called so this is dirty code
* Mon Apr  2 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of sat job list, eliminate duplicate jobs
- make sure solver failed packages/patterns are evaluated in info module
- make sure solver problems are evaluated in info module
* Wed Mar 28 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed updateOtherDeviceFstab() to correctly create missing
  mount points inside the root file system (bnc #754344)
* Fri Mar 16 2012 ms@suse.de
- fix Validator test. comparison in question checks for equality of
  objects, thus numerical comparison is appropriate (bnc #752604)
* Thu Mar 15 2012 ms@suse.de
- make sure kernelCheck() initializes list of kernels if empty (bnc #752259)
* Fri Mar  9 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed entry for hv_netvsc.ko driver
* Thu Mar  8 2012 ms@suse.de
- add new kernel module paths for Microsoft HyperV (hv) modules
* Wed Mar  7 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed xen check which makes sure to include the _non_ splash
  version of the initrd into the image because the xen loader
  doesn't like the splash info at the end of the cpio
  archive (bnc #736491)
* Thu Mar  1 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed initrd module list for ec2 format code
* Wed Feb 29 2012 ms@suse.de
- netboot: fixed setup of root device for local boot
* Tue Feb 28 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed mkinitrd call in ec2 format code:
  * don't use -A also make sure the exit code of mkinitrd is evaluated
  * make sure all required filesystem modules are added to
    /etc/sysconfig/kernel before calling mkinitrd
* Mon Feb 27 2012 ms@suse.de
- because the input stream from XML is utf-8 encoded it's required
  to set binmode correctly to utf-8 too when writing the data out.
  This is at least required for the profile file inside the initrd
  because it contains data from the XML like the oem boot title
* Thu Feb 23 2012 ms@suse.de
- follow up and improved fix for basePackBootIncludes to pack
  only items listed in the rpm package filelist but don't
  recursively look them up in the filesystem when tar'ing
  them up (bnc #743159)
* Wed Feb 22 2012 ms@suse.de
- added staging/hv drivers to SLE11 boot image descriptions.
  Beginning with SLE11-SP2 the drivers are part of the standard
  kernel and thus they should be preserved (bnc #747898)
- with reference to (bnc #747898) a new function called
  suseStripModules() has been added. The function searches
  for update modules and removes the old version which
  might be provided by the standard kernel to prevent
  a load clash
* Mon Feb 20 2012 ms@suse.de
- make sure /etc/modprobe.d is preserved (bnc #747898)
* Thu Feb 16 2012 ms@suse.de
- added virtio drivers for sle10 boot image descriptions (bnc #747346)
* Thu Feb  9 2012 ms@suse.de

  of the variable if there is a prefix and not both (bnc #732247)
- fixed import of dhcp info file (bnc #745548)
* Mon Feb  6 2012 ms@suse.de
- added rootfs check to ec2 format code
* Tue Jan 24 2012 ms@suse.de
- really fixed basePackBootIncludes to pack only files and don't
  break if packages includes symbolic links (bnc #743159)
* Thu Jan 19 2012 ms@suse.de
- fixed basePackBootIncludes to pack only files from boot
  included rpm packages but not entire directories
* Thu Jan 19 2012 ms@suse.de
- removed staging/hv drivers from SLE11, they conflict with
  the kmp package provided on SLE11
* Wed Jan 11 2012 ms@suse.de
- added staging/hv drivers to 12.1 and SLE11 boot images
- allow by-uuid device persistency via the kernel
  commandline option USE_BY_UUID_DEVICE_NAMES=1
* Tue Jan 10 2012 ms@suse.de
- removing references to online repos from the sle boot images (bnc #734887)
  * Virtualization:/Appliances:/suse-sle11
  * Virtualization:/Appliances:/suse-sle10
* Tue Jan 10 2012 ms@suse.de

  * priority, username and password information to sources info
- removed obsolete KIWISatSolverLegacy module and satplugin
* Mon Jan  9 2012 ms@suse.de
- Properly support image builds for SLE with xfs and btrfs filesystem
  The initrd image descriptions previously did not include necessary
  drivers and packages (bnc #740073)
* Sun Jan  8 2012 ms@suse.de
- netboot: added a check for the boot partition in a LUKS
  setup. if root is LUKS encrypted the local boot setup only
  works with a proper boot partition. If such a partition is
  not found the local boot setup will be skipped (bnc #735112)
* Sun Jan  8 2012 ms@suse.de
- added support for Microsoft Hyper-V machine image format
  <type ... format="vpc"/>. This requires a qemu version
  which supports the vpc format conversion (fate# 309765)
* Fri Dec 16 2011 ms@suse.de
- reverted last change because the required packages are not
  part of the distribution which caused a regression (bnc #734887)
* Thu Dec  8 2011 ms@suse.de
- removed binary packages provided as local repo (bnc #734887)
  * moved SLE10 repo from local to remote
  * moved SLE11 repo from local to remote
* Fri Nov 25 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed parameter quoting of setupBootLoader() functions (bnc #729315)
* Fri Nov 25 2011 ms@suse.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)
* Mon Nov 21 2011 ms@suse.de
- apply quoting of .profile contents during build (bnc #729315)
* Thu Nov 10 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed parameter quoting in setupBootLoader (bnc #729315)
* Wed Nov  9 2011 ms@suse.de
- make sure partedSectorInit() comes up with an initial value for
  the start sector if the partition table is empty (bnc #729251)
* Tue Nov  8 2011 ms@suse.de
- removed dead code in iso boot code due to the removal of
  the swap file support (bnc #728645)
* Tue Nov  8 2011 ms@suse.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. (bnc #728645)
* Tue Nov  8 2011 ms@suse.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)
- 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)
* Wed Nov  2 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed repartition code to create an aligned table (bnc #721580)
* Thu Oct 27 2011 ms@suse.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_\-\.] (bnc #716992)
* Tue Oct 25 2011 ms@suse.de
- make the info module write the imagescan XML into a tmpfile (bnc #726337)
* Mon Oct 24 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed escaping of chown parameters (bnc #725706)
* Mon Oct 24 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed patch typo: $main::global->mount() must be $main::mount()
  in this branch, regression added with commit: 9414da9a845f73bf
* Mon Oct 24 2011 ms@suse.de
- don't setup grub gfxboot message if no message file exists (bnc #724787)
- added support for overlay file and archive listing in info module
* Fri Oct 14 2011 ms@suse.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 2011 ms@suse.de
- incorporate KIWICollect fixes from ro@suse.de and behlert@suse.de
  * next try for KIWICollect: go back to version before Oct 7th
  * fix last change in KIWICollect: do not change the loop for
    metapackages but the loop for normal packages
* Thu Oct 13 2011 ms@suse.de
- fetchFile does not handle special characters consistently.
  fetchFile "some%%20file" with atftp correctly downloads 'some%%20file'.
  but with ftp curl converts the file name to 'some file', which is
  not expected. This patch fixes this and makes the behavior
  consistent
* Tue Oct 11 2011 ms@suse.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
- 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
- added hooks preswap/postswap which run before the check and
  creation of the imageSwapDevice. This allows to setup your
  own swap device handling.
- allow luksOpen to fail if luks_open_can_fail is set
- allow map name to be specified in luksClose
- fixed updateOtherDeviceFstab to make use of the prefix argument
- don't show the LUKS passphrase as part of the boot log
* Fri Oct  7 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed the collection of multiple instances of one package
  based on version, repository and architecture in case they are
  source or debug packages.
- make sure updateOtherDeviceFstab creates the mount point
- activate only volume group stored in $VGROUP, prevent vgscan
- fixed luksOpen to generate unique name for luksroot
- fixed luksOpen to stop asking for the passphrase after 3 times
- fixed updateOtherDeviceFstab to work in luks and/or RAID env
- fixed luksOpen to wait until the mapper created the device
- allow luks_pass to be set on the kernel commandline
- added level sorting for LVM volumes to make sure e.g /opt is
  mounted before /opt/bob
* Wed Sep 21 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed download of md5 file in oem pxe install mode
- make sure iputils is there in oemboot for pxe based installation
* Mon Sep 19 2011 ms@suse.de
- allow long names in install iso images (-joliet-long)
  This is related to (bnc #716149)
* Wed Aug 31 2011 adrian@suse.de
- product build: repository prios are more important then fallback architectures
* Tue Aug 30 2011 ms@suse.de
- make sure $prio variable is initialized empty for
  each repo validation (bnc #714927)
* Wed Aug 24 2011 ms@suse.de
- don't remove data from initial boot partition
- call setupBootPartition() only if systemIntegrity is != fine
- clean up setupBootPartition, create mount points inside the initrd
- clean up netboot code, setup bootid before mountSystem and let
  setupBootPartition do the setup of the boot contents
- added support for pxe luks encrypted images
* Tue Aug 23 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed boot code: explicitly wait until the background
  job showing the progress information has finished
- let atftpProgress() read output directly so there is just one job
- fixed fetchFile(): enable progress only for block devices, without
  this it showed the progress for md5 and other files when the first
  image download failed.
- fixed fetchFile(): fbiterm does not work with serial console, added
  fallback when it fails
- fixed fetchFile(): loadCode value from the background job is
  returned correctly now
* Tue Aug 23 2011 ms@suse.de
- make sure atftpProgress() finishes _after_ the atftp process has
  concluded the download, related to (bnc #713167)
* Tue Aug 23 2011 ms@suse.de
- use $imageBlkSize as parameter for atftpProgress()
- take care for handling of re-sent blocks in atftpProgress()
- fixed atftp error output handling $TRANSFER_ERRORS_FILE vs. /tmp/atftp_trace
- fixed atftp blocksize detection - with multicast the block number 1
  does not have to be at the beginning
* Tue Aug 23 2011 ms@suse.de
- added atftpProgress() function which implements the progress
  information for atftp by watching the atftp trace output.
  atftp seeks in the output stream which forbids the use of
  pipes for the progress information (bnc #713167)
* Mon Aug 22 2011 ms@suse.de
- make sure fribidi stays installed in netboot. It's required for
  the fbiterm based progress information (bnc #713173)
* Mon Aug 22 2011 ms@suse.de
- don't use pipes in combination with atftp (bnc #713167)
* Fri Aug 19 2011 ms@suse.de
- don't remove netcfg from boot images. This would remove the
  etc/hosts file which might be required. Along with this change
  also fixed the cleanupResolvConf() function which has to
  reset the needResolvConf and needHosts flags in order to prevent
  a deletion at a later point in time (bnc #713158)
* Thu Aug 18 2011 ms@suse.de
- added support for download and verification progress
  information for pxe (netboot) images (bnc #708711)
- added support for pxe buffered write on destination device in
  fetchFile() function used for netboot images. By default a
  chunk size of 4k is used
* Mon Aug 15 2011 ms@suse.de
- in 12.1 the sysconfig.kernel file has been changed into a
  sysconfig.kernel-mkinitrd file.
* Wed Jul 27 2011 ms@suse.de
- allow bootwait post dump action in combination with other post dump action
* Mon Jul 18 2011 adrian@suse.de
- skip catalog relocation and fixing on apple medias to avoid failure
* Mon Jul 18 2011 ms@suse.de
- do not try to run boot loader setup code when no boot loader
  exists. This commit integrates the kiwi-relocateCatalog.patch
  from Rudi (slightly modified by Adrian) into the
  git (bnc #705208)
* Mon Jul 18 2011 ro@suse.de
- failing relocateCatalog or fixCatalog is not a fatal error,
  at least not for images that are not bootable or for ppc
* Thu Jul 14 2011 ms@suse.de
- use the --one-file-system option for tar when copying the
  system image tree. This prevents the copy of files existing
  beyond the local filesystem (bnc #705717)
* Wed Jul 13 2011 ms@suse.de
- make sure relocateCatalog and fixCatalog is called
  for SuSE installation media (bnc #705208)
* Tue Jul  5 2011 ms@suse.de
- added check if reading the md5 file was successful (bnc #703829)
* Tue Jun 28 2011 ms@suse.de
- allow firstboot and autoyast service to be enabled together (bnc #700105)
* Tue Jun 28 2011 ms@suse.de
- added quoting of special characters for kiwi_oemtitle (bnc #702044)
* Mon Jun 20 2011 ms@suse.de
- remove 79-kms.rules udev rule from kiwi initrd (bnc #659843)
* Mon Jun 20 2011 ms@suse.de
- changed __getBootSize() function so that it multiplies the
  calculated minimum boot space by 3 to allow proper kernel
  updates (bnc #698161)
* Wed Jun  8 2011 ms@suse.de
- changed kiwi version number from a two part version
  into a three part version number: v4.85.1. 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
* Tue Jun  7 2011 ms@suse.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 #698161)
* Mon Jun  6 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed location of squashfs in drivers section for sle10
* Fri Jun  3 2011 ms@suse.de
- added squashfs in drivers section of SLE10 boot image descriptions
* Fri Jun  3 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed xsl style sheets, apply changes only if the
  schema version of the input data is smaller than the
  style sheet version (bnc #697647)
* Wed Jun  1 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed the problem where the <size> element is being dropped
  during XML file upgrade if the <size> element is specified as

- really fixed setupConsole to remove the ttyS0 console if no
  ttyS0 device exists (bnc #695948)
* Wed May 25 2011 ms@suse.de
- enhanced setupConsole to remove the ttyS0 console if no
  ttyS0 device exists (bnc #695948)
- fixed setupConsole() if search string appears as comment
- use -t squashfs to mount the installation image. This works
  around the problem if libuuid doesn't know the squashfs
  signature
* Mon May 23 2011 ms@suse.de
- s390: fixed disk online code, wait for disk device to appear (bnc #693031)
- add SLE 11 SP 2 media style plugin, using sha256 sums for meta data
* Fri May 13 2011 ms@suse.de
- version update to 4.85 per fate request (fate #311430)
* Fri Mar  4 2011 ms@suse.de
- netboot: allow network boot in degraded raid mode (bnc #668014)
- netboot: remove superblocks from raid disks if RAID
  has been dectivated in config.<MAC> (bnc #668014)
* Mon Feb 28 2011 ms@suse.de
- don't ignore blocksize value from config.<MAC> (bnc #675004)
* Thu Feb 24 2011 ms@suse.de
- added support for netboot config files update. The update
  happens according to the value of an optional md5sum hash
  specified per file
* Mon Feb 21 2011 ms@suse.de
- changed raid 1 support for pxe images. The former implementation
  can only use raid for the root partition. This implementation
  allows a custom partition table to be mapped in one raid 1 per
  partition
* Tue Feb  8 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed partition alignment code (bnc #670299)
* Wed Jan 26 2011 ms@suse.de

- don't remove libresolv and libnss_dns from initrd (bnc #664593)
* Mon Jan 17 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed bootstick deployment, don't remove existing boot data (bnc #654617)
* Thu Jan 13 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed fdisk setup in alignment mode. fdisk is not able
  to suggest the correct next sector if called with the
  option "-u". Therefore only one partition is created in
  that mode and the rest is created in fdisk cylinder
  based mode (bnc #664236)
- make sure fixupFDiskSectors() is called on a non
  busy table (bnc #664236)
- make sure fixupFDiskSectors() only fixes the first partition
  start sector and doesn't touch the others (bnc #664236)
* Wed Jan 12 2011 ms@suse.de
- fixed inclusion of recovery tarball which failed if a
  relative destination directory was specified (bnc #663779)
* Tue Jan 11 2011 ug@suse.de
- fix for bnc#605981
  Not able to create custom graphical image with IBM javapos
  rpm packages
* Thu Dec 23 2010 ms@suse.de
- added check for first sector start after repartitioning via
  fdisk. The start sector must be the same before and after the
  repartitioning (bnc #659865)
* Tue Dec  7 2010 ms@suse.de
- don't overwrite the zypp repo data when in recovery mode (bnc #657922)
* Fri Dec  3 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed usbboot linuxrc code which did not write a bootloader
  setup and also did not install the bootloader (bnc #654617)
* Tue Nov 23 2010 ms@suse.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 Sep 27 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in DHCPCD option test
* Mon Sep 27 2010 ms@suse.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 though (bnc #637333)
* Thu Sep 16 2010 ms@suse.de
- removed umount -a call to prevent a read-only remount (bnc #635159)
* Thu Sep  9 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed suseSetupProduct looking for a SUSE_ prefix too (bnc #637996)
* Thu Sep  2 2010 ms@suse.de
- added check for dhcpcd options. On sle10 we don't have
  the options -p or --noipv4ll (bnc #636121)
* Fri Aug 13 2010 ms@suse.de
- disable filesystem check for kiwi managed partitions
  by resetting the mount counter using using tune2fs
  (bnc #627021)
* Tue Aug 10 2010 ms@suse.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 (bnc #623607)
* Tue Aug  3 2010 ms@suse.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 of suse
* Tue Aug  3 2010 ms@suse.de
- don't call root filesystem check for images (bnc #627021)
* Tue Aug  3 2010 ms@suse.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)
* Mon Aug  2 2010 ms@suse.de
- added entire usb stack to initrd for SLE11 oemboot (bnc #627439)
* Fri Jul 30 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed build
* Thu Jul 29 2010 ms@suse.de

  yast image creator
* Mon Jul 26 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed md5 file creation for clicfs images
* Thu Jul 22 2010 ms@suse.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)
* Tue Jul 20 2010 ms@suse.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
* Thu Jul 15 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed race condition resulting at times in message of not
  finding the MBR and other times not finding the CD drive.
* Thu Jul 15 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed type in getDeployTimeout function
* Tue Jul 13 2010 ms@suse.de

  calling mkinitrd. This saves space to not run into a space
  problem on the boot partition (bnc #621859)
* Fri Jul  9 2010 ms@suse.de
- added volume label for recovery partition (bnc #618276)
* Thu Jul  8 2010 ms@suse.de
- moved in-place recovery file creation into suse-dump
  directly after the install verification (bnc #620777)
* Thu Jul  8 2010 ms@suse.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 (bnc #620777)
* Thu Jul  8 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed this path evaluation (bnc #619482)
* Fri Jun 11 2010 ug@suse.de
- kiwi overwrites /etc/sysconfig/firstboot (bnc#604705)
* Thu Jun 10 2010 ms@suse.de
- added oem-dumphalt element which reboots the system after
  the image was dumped (installed) on the target device. A message
  appears and the system waits for a key event before reboot
* Mon Jun  7 2010 ms@suse.de
- setup xencons only for domU setup (bnc #561635)
* Wed Jun  2 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed CDMountOption() to use blkid type check (bnc #610649)
* Tue Jun  1 2010 ms@suse.de
- make sure boot image has enough space (bnc #610596)
* Mon May 31 2010 ms@suse.de
- don't touch modules in updates and weak-updates (bnc #609879)
* Tue May 25 2010 ms@suse.de
- 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 2010 ug@suse.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)
* Tue May 18 2010 ms@suse.de
- use tar command to copy overlay files which is more
  error prune than the cp command (bnc #476117)
* Mon May 17 2010 ms@suse.de
- deactivate splash screen for initial deployment
  in kiwi OEM boot images (bnc #600710)
* Fri May 14 2010 ms@suse.de
- added support for displayname for vmx type (bnc #605939)
* Tue May 11 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed space problem when setting up boot partition for
  images which requires a separate boot partition which is
  the case for filesystems like clicfs. This caused a wrong
  copy of the initrd and prevents the system from being
  able to reboot
* Mon May 10 2010 ms@suse.de
- image size calculation fixes:
  * fixed size calculation in KIWIBoot.pm which did not take
    the journal size into account
  * minimum journal size set to 12 MB
  * spare space set to 1.5 (former 1.3)
  * min inode count is twice times the file count
  All this is for bug (bnc #587361)
* Fri May  7 2010 ms@suse.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)
* Fri May  7 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed mkinitrd call, check if the option -B exists and
  don't pass it if it doesn't (bnc #603338)
* Wed Apr 28 2010 ms@suse.de
- don't use --follow-symlinks for iso type if old live iso
  style is in use (bnc #599712)
* Thu Apr 22 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed use of type option in mke2fs. The option -t should
  be used because -T has a different meaning and causes other
  options to be ignored
* Thu Apr 15 2010 ms@suse.de
- changed info module to print XML output
* Thu Apr 15 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed info module to work with loop media like iso://
- added package version and architecture information when
  requesting the solved packages list via --info

- fixed long startup time because of ldconfig running when
  KIWILinuxRC is sourced from the shell
* Wed Mar 24 2010 ms@suse.de
- added bootnext program which implements a small boot loader
  needed for the 'boot from hard disk' menu entry on usb media.
  It basically loads the mbr from the first drive that is
  not the usb stick. Thanks to Steffen Winterfeldt who
  implemented this (bnc #583212)
- added dialog based OEM install verification UI
* Fri Mar 19 2010 ms@suse.de

  the installation images (CD+USB). Thus remove the request to
  remove the media after the image dump to the hard drive is
  complete. (bnc #583212)
* Tue Mar  2 2010 ug@suse.de
- fixed a quoting bug (bnc#584651)
* Tue Mar  2 2010 adrian@suse.de
- support arch= statements for metapackages correctly
- make missing metapackage for a required arch a warning
  (we missuse onlyarch atm)

  zypper uses libcurl for ftp transfers (bnc #578687)
* Mon Feb  8 2010 ms@suse.de
- handle reboot request only if we are not in recovery mode (bnc #573403)
* Mon Feb  1 2010 ms@suse.de
- fixed incorrect handling of unit="G" values (bnc #574660)
- added kernel/initrd update hotfix mechanism based on kexec
  It is possible to put the kernel file named linux.kexec and
  the initrd file named initrd.kexec on the first partition of
  a USB stick. If you plugin the stick and boot with the kernel
  option hotfix=1 it allows you to replace the existing kernel
  and initrd with the one on the stick
- increased wait time for dhcp lease file up to
  20sec (bnc #575561)
* Thu Jan 28 2010 ms@suse.de

- moved package deletion into own function and adapt
  the examples. remove --noscripts for deleting packages
  this could cause files to stay in the system which has
  a bad impact core utilities like mkinitrd. If for example
  busybox is uninstalled without calling the postscript
  the mkinitrd setup links will stay as broken links and
  cause mkinitrd to stop working (bnc #570948)
* Thu Jan 14 2010 ms@suse.de
- forbid / to be specified in lvmvolumes (bnc #570398)
- allow absolute size value for lvm volumes (bnc #570396)

- added busybox for to netboot descriptions and changed
  compressed tftp download to busybox tftp because only this
  implementations allows to work with pipes (bnc #559830)
- removed 10.3 support
* Wed Dec  2 2009 ms@suse.de
- added support for custom LVM group name. Default is kiwiVG
- fixed LVM based recovery workflow. the recovery needs to know
  about the separate boot partition. Additionally the recovery
  partition must be a separate partition outside LVM
* Mon Nov 30 2009 ms@suse.de
- added options --fs-max-mount-count and --fs-check-interval
  as well as the XML type attribute fsnocheck which deactivates
  the filesystem check at all.
* Mon Nov 30 2009 ms@suse.de
- fixed root device setup for xenboot in EC2 (bnc #559143)
* Mon Nov 30 2009 ms@suse.de

* Wed Nov 25 2009 ms@suse.de
- fixed setup of xencons when building Xen domU images (bnc #557791)
* Tue Nov 24 2009 ms@suse.de
- fixed root tree creation build inconsistencies due to missing
  libraries at the beginning of the root tree creation. Any glibc
  linked program uses /etc/nsswitch.conf and from there requires
  /lib(64)/libnss* libraries to do user/group to id resolution.
  If the operation happens chrooted, the libs needs to be there.
  The fix will install the glibc package which provides these
  libraries in a $root/baselibs directory first and moves them
  to $root. After that process the package manager is again called
  to install the bootstrap listed packages follewed by the rest
  of the specified packages (bnc #536256)
* Mon Nov 23 2009 ms@suse.de
- fixed clicfs boot by preventing root filesystem checks via
  ROOTFS_FSCK="0", also don't use run-init for clic (bnc #557661)
* Thu Nov 19 2009 ms@suse.de
- fixed umount calls before init is called. Due to this
  fix the df information after login should be correct
* Wed Nov 18 2009 ms@suse.de
- fixed search for gfxboot file du to changes in the
  gfxboot-devel package for 11.2 (bnc #556130)
* Tue Nov 17 2009 ms@suse.de
- added LVM feature to allow parts of the filesystem
  in a separate volume. The setup of volumes happens
  in the new <lvmvolumes> section
* Mon Nov 16 2009 ms@suse.de
- don't require preinit to call init (bnc #521456)
* Thu Nov 12 2009 ms@suse.de
- remove pivot root calls (old code) and changed preinit
  handling to let preinit run like init. If preinit runs the
  kernel already knows the system image root as / and preinit
  always ends with exec init (bnc #521456)
* Wed Nov 11 2009 ms@suse.de
- fixed exit code evaluation in Dialog function. The value of the
  evaluated exit code was undefined because it depended on which
  subshell finished first. The solution is to prevent parameter
  subshells when building the dialog parameterlist (bnc #547864)
* Mon Nov  9 2009 ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file for s390 architecture
* Fri Nov  6 2009 ms@suse.de
- fixed sysconfig/kernel setup for old mkinitrd (bnc #547571)

  file is now written to /tmp to avoid writing into read-only
  filesystem (bnc #552617)
* Wed Nov  4 2009 ms@suse.de
- added missing usb host controller module (ohci) to all
  boot image descriptions except vmxboot which doesn't need it

- recovery mode (bnc #546057):
  * throw reboot exception if backup files can't be created
  * create backup files for files in recovery.tar.gz only
* Wed Oct 21 2009 ms@suse.de

  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

  time to contemplate their restoration options (bnc #544420)
* Mon Oct  5 2009 ms@suse.de

- allow cmdline line overwrites only if the variable
  ALLOW_CMDLINE_OVERWRITE=yes is set in config.<MAC> or
  config.default. By default no overwrites are allowed
  which should add an acceptable level of
  security (bnc #536309)
* Thu Sep  3 2009 ms@suse.de
- allow NBDROOT to be set via kernel cmdline (bnc #536309)
- fixed satplugin getInstallList() function, did not allocate
  enough space to hold the package size. This causes the buffer
  overflow inside the binding. Also added the flags
  - D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector to build the same
  binding binary as if kiwi is build inside the BS. Also

  The function now uses the same file names according to the
  licenses.tgz file. If no language specific license file could
  be found the function defaults to license.txt and if that file
  also doesn't exist it defaults to EULA.txt (bnc #530497)
* Fri Aug 14 2009 ms@suse.de
- fixed main::mount() method, setup of umountStack was wrong
  now using mount destination for umount not source

- v3.68
- use dmsetup remove instead of kpartx -d

  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)
* Fri Jul 31 2009 ms@suse.de

  a complete implementation so far, just a first start (bnc #505782)
- added basic support for LUKS extension for vmx image type
- fixed inclusion of custom tar archives if the image
  description provides only a bootstrap section like the
  isoboot data does
* Mon Jun 22 2009 ms@suse.de
- v3.60
- allow inclusion of custom tar archives with new <archive>
  element. This can be used to include custom branding without

  any kind of data without the need for a package (bnc #515573)
- added virtio kernel modules to boot images (bnc #515543)
- improved support for obtaining XML information (bnc #513093)
- don't remove libx*, 11.2 hwinfo is linked against libx86emu
- don't remove mkfs/fsck links, just a cleanup fix
- 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)
- removed useless setValidateRepositoryType method
- add support for xml file logging. This allows to keep
  track on the temporary changes kiwi makes in the XML
  description caused by for example commandline options
- fixed clone to search in default image path if source
  is specified as relative path

- fixed clicfs mount over AOE,NBD (bnc #504652)
- fixed volid setup in case of spaces (bnc #500501)
- allow inclusion of boot image packages specified inside
  the system image description. This feature is used to setup
  branding packages which needs to be installed as part of
  the boot image (initrd) (bnc #497888)
- rewrote KIWIIsoLinux.pm to allow bit/tri arch boot media
  the code has not been tested for efi or ikr due to lack of
  such machines (bnc #478991)
- fixed/changed clicfs over NFS use. When using a clicfs
  image it's required that the clicfs filesystem is mounted
  on the server and the container (fsdata.ext3) is exported
  to the client. In that way it's consistent with all other
  filesystem types

  - -
  * 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

  completely (bnc #310001)
- added schema adaptions for instsource creation
- make create instsource a non root task, requested
  by autobuild team (mls,jcborn)
* Fri Sep  5 2008 ms@suse.de

  copy of zypp.conf (rather than the host system copy) and
  provides an interface to modify the config file.

- 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

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

  element. Tells kiwi to use link instead of lwp-download (much faster)
  For OBS scenario local trees will be used. Patch by Jan Bornschlegel

- added support for netboot interrupt (bnc #397949)
- 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)
* Mon Jun 30 2008 ms@suse.de

- added support for creating the open virtual file format. The
  support is limited to the capabilities of the ovtool provided
  by VMware. At the moment kiwi expects the program "ovtool" to
  be present in the root execution path (bnc #399558)
* Thu Jun 19 2008 ms@suse.de
- v2.43
- added support for additive size setup (bnc #401747)

* Thu Jun  5 2008 ms@suse.de
- fixed mountSystemUnified: read/write part is ext3 now
- code cleanup: put all bootloader related kiwi module code
  into the functions: setupBootLoaderStages setupBootLoaderConfiguration
  and installBootLoader. This happened to be able to include
  new bootloader types more easily
* Thu Jun  5 2008 ms@suse.de
- fixed smart call in setupSignatureCheck (bnc #397365)
* Wed Jun  4 2008 ms@suse.de
- fixed isolinux text boot message (bnc #396759)
* Tue Jun  3 2008 ms@suse.de
- added support for splashy. To activate it replace the
  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 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 2008 ms@suse.de
- added checkmedia support for iso images. kiwi will sign each iso
  with an md5sum using the tagmedia program. If the option --isocheck
  is specified when calling the create step an additional boot
  menu entry is created which allows to check the media
* Sat May 31 2008 ms@suse.de
- fixed USB stick identification code
* Fri May 30 2008 ms@suse.de
- make kiwi build on all archs. This does _not_ mean it

  Support for other archs is still work in progress !
- fixed find command in baseSetupPlainTextGITRepository
- create generic bootloader functions which calls specific
  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
  packages. Therefore this fix applies to >= suse-11.0. For older
  versions the wait counter has been increased.

* Fri May 23 2008 ms@suse.de
- added baseStripUnusedLibs functions to reduce initrd size
- removed unused network modules from vmxboot and oemboot
- removed support for reiserfs starting from suse-10.3 vmx/oemboot
- added oem-recovery element to support recovery of a damaged
  root tree. This is still work in progress

- 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)
- fixed xenconfig creation, use kernel link file instead
  of a glob match to setup the kernel=... variable
* Mon May 19 2008 ms@suse.de
- don't remove /var/lib required for dhcp info (bnc #391317)
- added support for OEM settings in system image (bnc #390652)

* Thu Feb  7 2008 ms@suse.de
- 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

- 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.

* Mon Nov  5 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.

  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.

- added support for pre-built boot images. To enable the lookup
  one had to specify the attribute checkprebuilt="true" within the

- 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 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"

- 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 Magnus Boman <captain.magnus@gmail.com> which
  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.

- 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).

* Fri Feb  9 2007 ms@suse.de
- added %%arch tag for source specifications
- added arch=... attribute for package tags
* Fri Feb  9 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

- added isoboot/suse-10.3 boot image
- added modprobe.conf.local (max_loop=32) for buildhosts

- fixed on-stick image support. Tested default 10.2 from USB
  stick, works great :-)
* Tue Nov 14 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

* 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

- added netboot descriptions for 10.1[-smp]/10.2[-smp]
- remove loop device usage from liveCD setup

  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.
