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.

- Do not support installation stick without boot partition (#668)
Installation stick bootloader configuration fails for the
installation image (installstick="true") if the image
is not configured to use a boot partition. Given the
fact the same functionallity can be achieved building
installation hybrid ISOs this specific configuration is not
supported.
This commit adds a runtime check to ensure this
combination is not set in the description file.

- Fixup elog shell pid detection
Startup of the debug shell happened as extra process from
a setctsid call. The lookup of the process was based on
a fuser call on the slelected tty. However it can happen
that another process is also connected to the tty which
does not allow for a stable detection of the debug shell
process. This patch runs the debug shell as sub process
of the calling terminal and uses the sub process pid

- Fixed blocksize setup in losetup
The -L option was used to set the blocksize value for losetup
However there is an option name clash between suse util-linux
and upstream which now leads to the problem that option -L
has changed its meaning and actually means --nooverlap which
completely breaks the call in kiwi. This patch changes the
call to use the long form --logical-blocksize.

- Fix vmdk disk convertion when using LVM
This patch fixes bsc#1059715. Calling 'pvs --noheadings -o vg_name <device>'
is not sufficient to get the volume name and to determine if LVM is being
used, as it could happen that udev events are not yet processed, thus the
<device> is not yet properly mapped. With this patch blkid is being used to
determine if the type of the requested partition is LVM and if so it proceeds
to a polling strategy to call pvs tool until it succeeds. Timeout is set to
30 seconds.

- Fixed grub bootloader setup for ec2 firmware
In ec2 Xen is used but not detected as such by kiwi unless
a domain configuration is provided in the image description.

makes sure the bootloader setup is appropriate depending
on the firmware set to ec2|ec2hvm (bsc#1049178)

- Fixed detection of Xen PV guest
The method isXen was used to check if the paravirtual kernel
kernel-xen is used and if so it influences the setup of the
bootloader. In newer versions there is no kernel-xen anymore
and its capabilities were moved into the pvops kernel provided
with the standard kernel-default package. Thus one kernel can
now serve for pv, hvm and dom0 images. Because of that there is
no other way than specifying the target Xen use case as part
of the image description. The information can be provided in
the doman setup of the machine configuratin with:
- domain="dom0"
- domain="domU"
- domain="domU-PV"
The new domU-PV value allows to specify that this image is going
to be used as a xen para virtual guest. The standard domU value
will setup the bootloader in a way that it is usable as "real"
bootloader in an hvmloader Xen guest. Fixes (bsc#1036198)

- Fixup setupMachineID
Cleaning up existing machine id files by deleting them
causes an interactive session to be started by systemd
This is something we don't want. As the consequences
of touching the machine id files seems to be too critical
the method has been turned into a hook caller. This
allows the user to make use of it on their own purpose
and by default doesn't mess with the machine id files

retrieves and handles machine ids

- Fixed expansion of msdos disks
If the target disk size is beyond 2TB it can't be expanded to
the full size if the msdos partition table layout is in use.
Because of this the disk expansion will be limited to the
allowed maximum for the msdos partition table type which is
at 2TB. This fixes bnc#1010966

- Fixup lease time in setupNetworkWicked
The default lease time with 300s used by wicked is relatively
short and different from the default lease time of the former
dhcpcd. This change causes wicked to use a lease time of 3600s
This is related to bnc#1003091
* Thu Nov 17 2016 - ms@suse.de
- Fixup default behavior of releaseNetwork
If no tool was found to communicate with the dhcp server
in order to free the lease the method did nothing. However
it should at least bring down the network. This is
related to bnc#1003091
* Thu Nov 10 2016 - ms@suse.de
- Refactoring of getKernelBootParameters
Instead of trying to extract the cmdline information from the
various bootloader config files we now write a metadata file
which contains this information as result of the bootloader
configuration. This fixes bnc#1009032

- ActivateImage links correction and read-only test
This commit is related to bnc#1006834. Loading the iso image into

- Fixup assembling of mdraid array
when udev discovers an mdraid array it partially starts the array.
That is interfering with the mdadm --assemble call by kiwi which
leads to a busy state and an array in inactive state. Therefore
the method should wait until the raid array really exists no
matter if the assembling is started by udev or kiwi's mdadm call.
In addition if the array got assembled but is incomplete because
devices are missing or the timout is fired, an additional call to
start any array that has been partially assembled is required.
pxeRaidAssemble will throw an exception if after this call no
md device with a size > 0 will show up after a timeout. This
Fixes bnc#1000742
* Thu Oct 27 2016 - ms@suse.de
- Fixup waitForStorageDevice
The function will return success if the size of the storage
device can be obtained and is greater than zero. The pure

For disk based images the file config.partids is written and

file without an initrd. The result boot setup is not able to
reboot the system because the initrd is not loaded.

- Add part_msdos module for self build EFI image
On ARM we have a few hooks in kiwi that allow us to adapt the
resulting image to target boards. On some systems, we need to
install the firmware to hardware specified sector offsets on
the image target (sd card).
Unfortunately some systems demand firmware at sector 1 which is
where the GPT would usually reside. So we need to use an MBR partition
layout.
We can convert the GPT into an MBR using gdisk in our ARM scripts,
but at that point grub2 would have to be able to interpret the MBR
as well. So we need the "msdos_part" module included (bnc#975898)

whether or not the argument to $sha->addfile is absolute doesn't

certain conditions computes the sha256sum file itself. So this code here
was never used where it actually matters.

- Added support for exfat as hybrid filesystem
In addition to fat also exfat is now supported as persistent
write filesystem. Because of the limitations of a fat filesystem
fat and exfat are only used as a container filesystem providing
an ext4 linux filesystem as a cowfile. The algorithm to create
the size of the cow file has also been changed to use half of
the size of the write partition or on fat a max size of 4G.
The size of the cowfile is also prepared to become overwritten.
However the XML definition and implementation to do this
is still missing
* Mon Jan 11 2016 - ms@suse.de
- Reread partition table after hybrid setup
The hybrid write partition is created via fdisk. Some version

Instead of a fixed name 'cowfile' we allow a custom name which is
predefined in HYBRID_PERSISTENT_FILENAME and prepared to become

plain data file to the operating system if e.g used on a live
stick. It should be more clear to the user what this file is
good for

- Fixed JeOS templates configured for efi boot
in case of efi the efi modules should be installed to the system.
Even though it's not a problem for kiwi because it takes the modules
from the self build initrd it could become a problem when grub2
is used for reconfiguration on the system later. It is also
questionable whether it is a good idea from kiwi to install
the efi modules as part of the initrd just for the purpose to
take them from there at build time when they are not really needed
in the initrd at boot time. The new (next generation) kiwi version
will lookup modules from the system if possible and will not
keep them inside of the initrd

- Added vmdk descriptor update
VMWare applications are made aware that an image has vm-tools installed
via tags appended to the VMDK's metadata. Typically, the tools write
the metadata during their first run, but in our case the first run of
the tools is the first boot of the appliance, so the host application
is not aware of tools until after a VM has been rebooted, missing a
critical opportunity to configure an instance before or during the
first boot. In order to allow VMWare applications (include vCloud)
to be aware that vm-tools are installed, we need to add the appropriate
metadata to the image during its creation

- Make sure kiwi_BootPart variable is written
kiwi_BootPart is expected to exist in the initrd environment
Thus it's required to write it in config.partids in any case.
If there is no extra boot partition kiwi_BootPart equals
kiwi_RootPart. This fixes bnc#946387

- Prevent prefix setup in grub.cfg for Xen
This is because Xen PV guests boot via a first stage loader pygrub/pvgrub
and interpret the grub config file differently. One inconsistency is that
pvgrub searches for the grub modules at a different place. Setting up the
prefix will point pvgrub to the wrong place and the system fail to boot.
* Thu Sep 17 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Prevent command variables for Xen domU grub2 setup
Xen PV images which boot via pvgrub have the problem that pvgrub
is not able to correctly read in the kiwi written grub.cfg file.
This is because kiwi uses a variable which contains the loader
command e.g $linux instead of the loader command directly. grub2
supports this but pvgrub is not able to interpret this information.
Therefore this patch prevents the use of the variable if the
target image is Xen, domU and the firmware type is set to bios

- Support for stacked zipl plus grub2 boot
In SLES12 zipl and btrfs are incompatible because the block where
the initrd and the kernel live could change in a btrfs filesystem.
Because IBM is not going to fix zipl to work with btrfs a new boot
process has been invented by the SLES team which impacts kiwi too.

multipath devices from a SAN system take some time to appear on
the host. In order to have all presented wwn's available on the

an open task.

- Fixed reading of search path for editboot* scripts
In build and create mode the origin path of the XML description was

- Deleted yum grouplist check
Prior to installing yum groups, kiwi performed a grouplist
to check if the group exists. That's because yum groupinstall
does only print a warning message if a non existing group
should be installed. The problem here is that the group names
displayed by yum grouplist are the description names like
"Console internet tools" but the group id name in this case
"console-internet" is not displayed. This makes it impossible
for kiwi to use the yum group id names which we should prefer
over the description texts, because the texts could contain
special characters which makes it hard to validate the content
in a stable way. In addition yum groupinstall works more
reliable if the group id names are used

their own instance of KIWIXML. This is fixed now by passing
along the origin XML instance when available

By default kiwi creates a btrfs partition as write space for hybrid
live systems. With the new attribute one can specify also the 'fat'
filesystem as write space. This would allow to create hybrid live
images which are compatible with the Windows OS in a similar way
like kiwi's livestick tool does it. This Fixes #475

The imageinclude attribute is currently not supported with all

map the obs URI into the correct http URI which will only work

* Mon Jun 22 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed legacy grub install for install stick images
Installing legacy grub can happen using the image grub or the

- Fixed volume name adaptions for btrfs and zfs
There is no need to replace any character in the name for the volume
of a filesystem which includes a volume manager. Fixes (bnc#933909)
* Mon Jun 08 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed evaluation of bootincluded archives
Archives set in the bootstrap section and marked as bootinclude
were not really used and therefore its contents were missing in
the kiwi initrd

- Revert "Implement setup of loop blocksize"
The user space interface will change because in order to set the
pyhsical blocksize the value must be present on loop creation. This
required options to the losetup call and can't be done afterwards.
Therefore the implementation in kiwi will be reverted until the
user space interface for losetup is final
This reverts commit d2dfead392a7dd2064afbd59df4c4d67bcacbc98.
* Mon Jun 08 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Implement setup of loop blocksize
The new loop driver capability allows to set a custom blocksize
This patch makes use of it with the value from the optional
target_blocksize attribute (bnc#931634)

* Fri Jun 05 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Follow up fix for btrfs grub2 boot path
For iso media the adaption of the boot path to /@/... is wrong
because in this case we read from iso9660 and not from btrfs.
This is related to (bnc#933664)
* Fri Jun 05 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed grub2 setup on btrfs without boot partition
If the image is built with btrfs and no extra boot partition is requested
the grub2 btrfs module is used to read the boot data from the filesystem.
However in kiwi we setup a btrfs filesystem in a way that all subvolumes
are nested below a master '@' volume. Within the scope of grub2 it's
required to adapt any path in the filesystem to match this because it's
not possible to specify a subvolume set-default here. Because of this
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg becomes /@/boot/grub2/grub.cfg within grub2.
This fixes (bnc#933664)

The temporary directory created for this has the same name
as the ovf file created inside of it. On move of the data
to the result dir this causes trouble which is fixed by
this commit
* Thu May 28 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Added target_blocksize attribute in type section
In preparation to support custom blocksize values for loops
the attribute target_blocksize was implemented like the folowing
example shows:
<type ... target_blocksize="4096"/>
This will set a 4k blocksize used for all loops setup during
image build and on first boot of the image. The actual code to
apply the blocksize to the loop is not yet implemented because
we are still waiting for the loop driver to support it. This is
related to (bnc#931634)
* Wed May 27 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Added pointer to XML description for loop_setup
In preparation to support custom blocksize values for loops
access to the XML description is needed to read the specified
target_blocksize value once support for this value will be
added

- Cleanup use of OEM variables
Deleted baseSetupOEMPartition and therefore the translation of
variables from the profile into OEM_ variables by writing the
environment file config.oempartition. Instead the boot now
directly uses the variables from the profile which are all
prefixed by kiwi_oem*
* Thu May 21 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Deleted fixed parmfile name PARM-S11 on s390
Instead a new OEM element called: <oem-vmcp-parmfile> has been
added. Using this element allows to specify the parmfile name
without the userid. The userid is queried on demand. If no
parmfile name is specified the default name PARM-S11 applies
for backward compatibility. This fix relates to (bnc#931436)
* Thu May 21 2015 - ms@suse.de

If multiple consoles are used like console=tty0 console=ttyS0
the output is multiplexed among all consoles if plymouth or blogd
is in use. However if a system shell exception occurs the
exception shell was not correctly initialized as controlling

- Added runtime check for target directories
Setting the target directory as part of /var/cache/kiwi leads
to busy mount processes because this shared cache location is
used by kiwi as part of the building process
* Thu May 07 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed cache selector
Calling the cache selector while in init-cache mode doesn't make sense
* Thu May 07 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Changed default image cache location
The previous location was set to /var/cache/kiwi/image but this leads
to busy mounts when preparing a cache image below this path because
/var/cache/kiwi is bind mounted during preparation of a cache. Thus
the default cache location is set to /var/cache/kiwi-images
* Thu May 07 2015 - ms@suse.de

it's important to configure SUSE_BTRFS_SNAPSHOT_BOOTING as
well as add all subvolumes as single mountpoints to the fstab
file
* Mon May 04 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Added support to filter install devices
There is now a <oem-device-filter> element which allows to receive
a free form text evaluated as input for the bash regexp operator.
Every device matching the rule is filtered out and not part of
the selection list for the install targets in an oem installation
process. This addresses (bnc #924436)

- Fixed use of custom kernel options for recovery
custom kernel paratmers are stored in $kiwi_cmdline inside
of the boot code. The information was not used for the recovery
grub config. Therefore a difference in kernel boot options for
standard boot and for recovery boot could happen which should
not be the case

- Added __checkMountDependencies runtime check
The check looks for processes which holds onto mounts created by a
previos kiwi run. In such a condition kiwi is not able to release
its own mount table and shows information about the processes which
keeps these mount points busy. We still don't understand why there
could be non kiwi related processes holding onto mounts kiwi has
created during its run but kiwi should provide a way to tell this
information to the user and stop if the environment is still tainted
by such processes (bnc #895204)
* Tue Apr 21 2015 - ms@suse.de

- Ensure recovery entry is appended for elilo compat
elilo does not support adding custom entries to the written
grub configuration. Thus we have to make sure the recovery
entry doesn't get lost after a recovery run. Therefore the
menu entry is added as part of the installBootloader function
because this function is called after a recovery run while
the installBootloaderRecovery functions are only called once
at initialization time of the recovery partition
* Mon Apr 20 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed missing boot/efi mount path after recovery
In recovery/repair mode the boot/efi path is not umounted
correctly when init/systemd is started. Both paths /boot and
/boot/efi are part of the fstab and if boot/efi is already
mounted when fstab is processed the mount of /boot will
cover and therefore hide the contents of boot/efi

- Added elilo compat mode to recovery boot setup
In normal grub2 mode the recovery entry is just written as a custom
menu entry and processed by grub2-mkconfig. However if the elilo
compat mode is in use on SLES11 with efi the recovery menu entry
must be written to the elilo generated grub.cfg
* Wed Apr 15 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Disable uuid support in createFilesystem for btrfs
This will be changed once SLES11 SP4 is out to have a
compatible version out until then
* Mon Apr 13 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Recovery fixes and improvements
* Added root.uuid / boot.uuid information to the recovery
The UUID is used on restore to create the filesystem with
the same UUID as before. This also allows to use the same
efi binary as before and avoids the hack of copy over a
standard efi binary
* Allow createFilesystem to receive an optional UUID parameter
In order to set the UUID for xfs the xfs_admin tool has been
set to be a persistent part of the boot image(initrd)
* Better messages for bootloader setup. Distinguish between
boot loader setup for recovery and root system
* Fixed description setup in elilo.conf for SLE11 efi compat
mode. If kiwi_oemtitle is not set use kiwi_displayname
to avoid an empty title in the boot menu

- Fixed OEMFindPartitions
* partition size of install target must be greater than
the size of the image partition, equal the size is not
enough
* change error message to exactly point to the partinfo
file which contains the information how the requested
target partitions must look like
* change the partinfo file to include the gpt partition
code as gdisk knows it in case of a GPT
* Thu Apr 09 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed partedGetPartitionID
In case of a GPT parted has no information about a partition id
Therefore we mapped the id to the known msdos values according
to the name kiwi defines for the partition. Any GPT specific
partition got the same id 'ee' which results in not being able
to distinguish them. However for the partition based install
in EFI mode it's required to identify any potential target install
partition by an id. Therefore partedGetPartitionID will return
the sgdisk partition code and will only map to the old legacy
values if sgdisk is not available
* Thu Apr 09 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Update spec file
make the gptfdisk package a requirement for distros which
provides it
* Thu Apr 09 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed setup of GPT partition table
kiwi uses parted to create partition tables. In case of GPT
a linux default partition table has a guid set which points
to a Microsoft base partition. This is wrong and I did not
find a way to correct this with parted. Therefore the sgdisk
utility will be used to correct the partition code so that
we can at least see the right values when using sgdisk
* Wed Apr 08 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Changed validation in OEM partition install mode
In partition based install kiwi checks if the current partitions
can be used for installation. Part of the validation was to check
if a filesystem signature could be found. If yes the partition
was not offered for installation. However this test is too strict
because in order to remove the filesystem signature the filesystem
must be actively destroyed. It's better to check for the filesystem
UUID instead. In order to allow the installer to use the partition
one can clear the uuid with the appropriate filesystem utility
e.g
e2fstune -U clear
for extX based filesystems and that will not destroy the filesystem
integrity. This means an active system can be prepared for install
by clearing the uuid instead of self destructing it

- Deleted createOriginSnapshot
In combination with btrfs this function created an origin snapshot
prior to the first boot. This conflicts with the SUSE built in
snapshot setup used by snapper.
* Tue Mar 17 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed use of volume variables in profile env
Instead of evaluating the variable to get their content
we directly parse the value. This allows to have key
values including special characters normally not allowed
in shell variable names like the dot('.'). volumes names
like '.snapshot' will become possible
* Tue Mar 17 2015 - dimstar@opensuse.org
- Remove KIWI's appdata handling
The format is just too complex to be handled in this symlistic way.
Appdata.xml (a subset of Appstream) evolved and changed for example
from "applications" to "components"; now, some packages export one type,
other packages export the other type. Merging them without normalising
is resulting in a structure like:
<applications>
<application>
[...]
</application>
<component>
[...]
</components>
</applications>
whereas 'components' is no valid child of applications per spec (neither
is application a valid child of components).
Hence: if KIWI ought to do that proper, the full format must be
understood, analysed, normalised and merged.
for openSUSE, KIWI now uses appstream-builder, which is created in close
relationship with the AppStream metadata in mind.
Having this code still in KIWI results in the builder producing valid
appdata.xml.gz PLUS an uncompressed appdata.xml (~18MB) to be part of
the repository metadata (thus slowing repo refresh down a lot).
* Tue Mar 17 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed restoreBtrfsSubVolumes
if a subvolume for e.g /var/crash should be restored, kiwi
failed because the /var path did not exist. As a workaround
people could add /var as a volume but if only /var/crash
should be a volume and not /var there was no way to do it.
This commit fixed it in a way that kiwi checks if the path
to the volume exists and if not it is created prior to the

A package marked with the bootdelete="true" flag was not removed
from the boot image if it was placed in the <delete> section of
the system image.

to perform the call is present on the host
* Thu Mar 05 2015 - schneemann@b1-systems.de
- dhclient has no option for timeout
The dhclient in openSUSE 13.2 has no parameter for timeout, but it
is specified in the setupNetworkDHCLIENT function. The timeout is
taken from the configuration file as mentioned in the manpage.
* Wed Mar 04 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed __checkSelectedBootLoaderIncluded check
The runtime check for grub2 has the choice for several packages
Especially on SLE11 only grub2-x86_64-efi exists.
* Wed Mar 04 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Increase the EFI/vboot fat partition
Instead of 32MB use 200MB to allow holding a little more
data like firmware and/or loaders
* Wed Mar 04 2015 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Fix consistency check for LXC builds
+ Prior to the emergence of systemd the lxc package provided a special
init script, lxc-init. This was necessary as SysV-init was not container
aware. systemd is container aware, thus including systemd as the init
system is sufficient.

- Update description for suse-pxe-client
The template is designed for a netboot only system. Therefore
many parts are actively deleted, e.g the kernel which prevents
this system from booting standalone. The description now points
that out to indicate that for another use case the images.sh
script might need some changes
* Wed Feb 25 2015 - ms@suse.de

- Fixed potential link attack security issue
kiwi statically creates a tmp executable in /dev/shm. Apart from
the fact that it's the wrong place in the filesystem to do this
kiwi should use a correctly created tmpfile. This Fixes #444
* Mon Feb 23 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed zero block analyser
If all free blocks in a filesystem contain a zero the compression
result of the later image is better compared to if there is any
random junk in it. In order to have all free blocks set to a zero
byte kiwi used the dd + rm method which had the disadvantage of
destroying the sparseness of the image file. Because of that the
method was applied only if the image was built from a real disk
device which did not allow us to strip away a sparse image from
anyways. However this is not very flexible because:
1. In most cases an image is built from a loop device mapped
against a sparse file. Thus the method is not called most
of the time
2. With filesystems using more complex internal structures like
xfs btrfs, zfs and friends there is not much difference in
the compression results, but the time to create a huge empty
file which is removed later is signifcantly recognized
Thus this change deletes the old way of zero out free blocks and
uses a tool to do the job for us. For extX based filesystems the
zerofree utility exists and is used if installed. For other
filesystems I'm not aware of a tool and thus we don't handle
them at the moment. If there is tool available kiwi print a
warning message

- check user_name is defined when checking file tree
It is possible to have files that should be owned by root which
are owned by a non-existing user, meaning the uid has no corresponding
username. When this happens, the check used to give the error
"Use of uninitialized value $user_name in concatenation (.) or string
at /usr/share/kiwi/modules/KIWIRuntimeChecker.pm line 1558."
Thus we need to check whether the user exists.

- Make sure the default console font is setup
While kiwi runs fbiterm the default console font is not
properly restored when the session ends. In order to enter
the system with a correctly initialized console font
kiwi actively calls setfont with the default8x16 font.
This is related to (bnc #879994)

- aarch64: Load full EFI emulation size
-boot-load-size 1 is not a recommended option. First of all
a loader size that is not divideable by 4 is rejected by
most EFI firmwares. In addition we need to load all of the
EFI code into memory. When the option is not set, genisoimage
uses the full length by default, which is what we want.
* Fri Jan 30 2015 - ms@suse.de

* Fri Jan 30 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed callPartitioner
Instead of making the decision for the correct partition tool
by the name of the device use a method which knows better about
the type of the storage device. This applies to s390 only were
a dasd device could be a real dasd with 4k blocksize or an
emulated dasd with 512byte blocksize. In the first case fdasd
is used and in the other case parted must be used. The decision
for the tool is now based on the result if isDASDDevice()
which returns false for emulated dasd devices because we
only distinguish a different handling if the blocksize of the
device is _not_ 512byte
* Fri Jan 30 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed critic testing via perlcritic
perlcritic on 13.2 reports a module to not end with a true value
which is wrong and older versions of perlcritic do not complain
about the same code. As I don't want to dig into what perlcritic
does I decided to move the module in question to be not level 4
clean
* Fri Jan 30 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed handling of zipl options
For some reason it was not possible to provide the
information as commandline arguments. Thus we wrote
it into the menu section. In addition the verbose
zipl installation information is now part of the
kiwi build log file
* Fri Jan 30 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed import of emulated dasd device
dasd_configure is required to be called but kiwi
skipped that step for emulated dasd devices and
thus they did not exist on boot
* Fri Jan 30 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Added support for emulated DASD devices on s390
an emulated dasd is a dasd device in FBA mode using
512byte blocksize. kiwi did not properly install zipl

- Added support for s390 emulated DASD devices
An emulated DASD device is a disk with 512byte blocksize
like it is the case for real zFCP (scsi) devices. Therefore
kiwi handles an emulated DASD like a zFCP device but does
not configure host and disk adapter for it

- Fixed creation of split images
The filename for the splitfile which is the read-write portion
of the image was build taking the displayname into account.
Only if the displayname was not set the filename was correct
because in that case the displayname and the diskname are the
same. If a custom displayname is set the splitfile name was
wrong and the read-write data was not included to the image
In addition this patch uses the kiwi.buildinfo file to check
for the image type instead of taking weird assumptions based
on file names

- Make sure to handle all udev daemon processes

up one process even though there might be more
* Mon Jan 26 2015 - ms@suse.de
- Use udevadm control to exit udev daemon
Killing the udevd is done in two steps. First we issue
an udevadm call to exit udevd the documented way. According
to the man page the call waits until udevd is stopped.
After the call we check against the process ID of udevd
we know about if they really have been stopped. If not we
kill them

between efi and non efi configuration differences if there are
any
* Mon Dec 08 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added EFI support for none aarch64 arm systems

people could add /var as a volume but if only /var/spool
should be a volume and not /var there was no way to do it.
This commit fixed it in a way that kiwi checks if the path
to the volume exists and if not it is created prior to the
creation of the subvolume

have to add the online repo in order to build. For 13.2 it's
too late but with this change I hope the two packages will
be placed on the DVD again
* Tue Nov 18 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Cleanup use of installBootLoader
Instead of building device nodes out of the partition id's hash
use the already existing device map information. That eliminates
some unneeded logic as well as two helper methods used to find
the right place for the device when only the partition id is
known
* Mon Nov 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed suseStripKernel for updates/ modules
If the dependency checker finds a dependency to a module in the updates
or weak-updates directory the move of the module will fail because kiwi
always uses updates/weak-updates modules and has moved them already.
The dependency code however creates a new updates/weak-updates directory
for the affected module and that causes a conflict when the original
updates/weak-updates are moved back to the final place. In the end the
result is that no updates/weak-updates module are present in the initrd
* Mon Nov 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Better error message in pxeSetupDownloadServer
Be more descriptive if the PXE download server can't be
found. In addition cleanup suse/rhel-dump to call
pxeSetupDownloadServer instead of duplicating the code
* Mon Nov 17 2014 - schwab@suse.de
- Don't remove kernel and initrd in KIWIMiniIsoPlugin
* Mon Nov 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Make sure drivers/virtio is part of netboot initrd
This allows to use the virtio network from qemu if
started with the virtio-net-pci driver
* Mon Nov 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added 12.2 to the cleanup list in the spec file
* Mon Nov 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- fix bashism in post script
Use a simple string list in the spec file to walk through
the list of distribution names in order to cleanup old ones
Original patch by: Led <ledest@gmail.com>
* Thu Nov 13 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v7.02.4 released
* Thu Nov 13 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed and cleanup unit test processing
When running the unit tests the class KIWILog is overwritten
in a way that a global kiwi logger is created from Common::ktLog
but there is no declaration which really overwrites the KIWILog
package to be a Common::ktLog. This patch fixes this and makes
unit testing work in travis again. In addition methods from
Common::ktLog no longer present in KIWILog were removed too
* Wed Nov 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed result bundler for vhd-fixed format
There is a small inconsistency between the schema format setup
and the extension used in the result file. The schema wants
format="vhd-fixed" and the file is written as file.vhdfixed
* Wed Nov 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v7.02.3 released
* Wed Nov 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Compress install PXE tarball using XZ
Instead of tar's -z we use now -J for xz compression and
also changed the output name to *.install.tar.xz in order
to allow the buildservice to match this file as a result
* Wed Nov 12 2014 - ms@suse.de

- Update 13.2 JeOS template
added default network setup on lan0
* Tue Nov 11 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed use of rpm tools
rpm has removed the db related options --initdb and --rebuilddb
from the master rpm command. They are only available in the rpmdb
command. Thus kiwi should better search for the rpm tool chain
and decide for the commands to use according to their existence
* Tue Nov 11 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Update source path in 13.2 JeOS image description
* Wed Nov 05 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Update jenkins prepare.sh test
the jenkins worker needs dosfstools installed to work with
efi build tests
* Wed Nov 05 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Revert "Fixed check for revision file"
This reverts commit d288c9f7b2a52f42b86023f76e0b055bcd748925.
It was not the check itself which was broken it was the fact
that running make test and make valid in parallel conflicts
with each other
* Wed Nov 05 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed make test Makefile target
Don't remove the .revision file as part of make test because
this conflicts with running make valid in parallel as done
on jenkins. Only the make clean target should remove it
* Wed Nov 05 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed logging of first message
The file handle for the first message log was not available at the time
* Wed Nov 05 2014 - ms@suse.de

delete obsolete openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template and boot descriptions
* Thu Oct 30 2014 - chingpang@gmail.com
- Correct the loader type of grub2
For the UEFI machines, the loader type has to be "grub2-efi" to
make grub2-install search the efi modules.
* Thu Oct 30 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Activate efi support in suse-13.2-JeOS template

* Mon Oct 27 2014 - schwab@suse.de
- Set proper boot catalog in aarch64_efi
* Fri Oct 24 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Don't call makeIsoEFIBootable for product iso's
The required data is provided by the installation-images-<distro>
package and doesn't need to be created. In addition the method
checks for the underlaying architecture which does not work when
creating product iso's because there the underlaying architecture
does not necessarily have to match the distro architecture
* Wed Oct 22 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v7.01.16 released
* Wed Oct 22 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed setupDefaultFstab (bnc #900280)
Instead of overwriting a potentially existing fstab file
the function now adds missing entries and also checks if
the source mount device really exists.
* Wed Oct 22 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Use btrfs as write partition for hybrid images (bnc #900922)
For hybrid live iso images there is the optional support to
create a write partition for data persistency. The initial
creation of the filesystem can take a long time on e.g USB
sticks. The creation of a btrfs filesystem without static
inode tables is much faster. Thus the switch to btrfs
* Tue Oct 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v7.01.15 released
* Tue Oct 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Print /var/log/boot.kiwi file on reboot exception
If a reboot exception is thrown in the boot code kiwi will
print the current log file contents to the console before
reboot. This allows systems like public clouds to provide
a verbose information about the boot process

- Make sure correct grub2 module path is used for ec2hvm firmware
Currently the grub2 module path is set correctly with firmware
set to 'ec2' but not if set to 'ec2hvm'
* Mon Oct 20 2014 - coolo@suse.de
- readd lost promo dvd plugin
* Fri Oct 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed setup of zypper repository name if no alias is specified
If no alias name is given in the kiwi <repository> section, kiwi
builds a name from the given source URI. If the source URI does
contain credentials information appended as token after the RFC
specified '?' sign the repo name contains this information too
which results in an invalid repository name for zypper. In order
to prevent this kiwi cuts off the information '\?.*' from the
URI and build the name from the remaining part
* Thu Oct 16 2014 - ms@suse.de

This results in images requiring less disk space.
* Fri Oct 10 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Use -o loop for mounting read-write image
Older systems (e.g RHEL 6) mount command is not able to detect
a loop mount and requires the -o loop option in order to work
* Fri Oct 10 2014 - adrian@suse.de
- fix dependencies of s390 requires
* zipl was never an own package, it is part of s390-tools
* syslinux does not exist on SLES 12 s390
* Fri Oct 10 2014 - adrian@suse.de
- Also support new appdata format
* Wed Oct 08 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Again Fixed use of zypper package cache
Not only the addrepo command but also other ones seems to remove
the pkg-cache-dir if there is no associated repo available. Thus
the preserve and restore of the package cache happens now before
and after all zypper repo setup related commands are called
* Tue Oct 07 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v7.01.7 released
* Tue Oct 07 2014 - ms@suse.de

no paths allowed inside the tarball, only the disk.raw
they are really strict on their checks :-)
* Thu Oct 02 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixup createGoogleComputeEngine
There are some conventions around the naming and content of
a GCE tarball. This patch hopefully addresses all of them
* Thu Oct 02 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added sudo to package list for SLE12 JeOS template
* Thu Oct 02 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Update SLE12 JeOS template to provide a kiwi user

* Thu Oct 02 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v7.01.5 released
* Wed Oct 01 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed use of zypper package cache
For unknown reasons zypper removes the pkg-cache-dir when
calling the addrepo command. Because this is unwanted kiwi
temporarly moves the current cache dir and moves it back
after the addrepo call is done
* Wed Oct 01 2014 - ms@suse.de

- v7.01.4 released
* Tue Sep 30 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added support for custom boxname for vagrant images (bnc #896205)
By default the name set to the vagrant .json file is the name
of the image as specified in the kiwi XML description. However,
in the world of https://vagrantcloud.com/, the convention for
"fully-qualified" box names is "ORGANIZATION/BOXNAME" which does
not apply to a standard kiwi image name. With the new boxname
attribute people can now specify the name of the box to be
vagrantcloud conform. e.g
<vagrantconfig ... boxname="opensuse/minimal-13.1"/>

* Fri Sep 26 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Make sure to wait for nic link up (bnc #898505)
* Thu Sep 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed double encoded luks system (bnc #898249)
when kiwi builds a disk image it can either dump a filesystem
image onto a raw partition or it rsync a tree of files onto
a partition which has a filesystem created on top of a subsystem
or a subsystem stack like lvm, luks, etc. In kiwi this is
controlled by the value of the $treeAccess variable. If
treeAccess is disabled but the support for syncing a tree in
the given configuration is implemented this results in
duplicate preparation of the filesystem and the subsystems
which results in an unbootable mess.
* Thu Sep 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed passthrough of luks cipher (bnc #898249)
kiwi passed the ciper using a shell echo command which is
bad because the shell evaluates the contents of this information
and might break the cipher if it contains shell meta characters.
This patch fixes this by using a simple pipe stream to the
cryptsetup process without invoking a shell command
* Thu Sep 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed URI credentials setup
Make sure the ?credentials=kiwiRepoCredentials flag is only added
to the url if the appropriate credentials file exists
* Tue Sep 23 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.164 released
* Tue Sep 23 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added missing filesystem provides for the xfs filesystem (bnc #897935)
With the kiwi-filesystem:xfs Provides the buildservice is able
to setup a build environment including the needed tools called
by kiwi when building inside this environment
* Sun Sep 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.163 released
* Sun Sep 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Follow up fix for max storage device wait period (bnc #897516)
Hannes Reinecke suggested to increase it to 60 seconds; 30 seconds
is the typical I/O timeout value, so I'd be giving it double the
time to allow error handling to complete.
* Fri Sep 19 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.162 released
* Fri Sep 19 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Increase max per storage device wait period to 30 sec (bnc #897516)
* Fri Sep 19 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Prevent activation of a partition on non x86 systems (bnc #897507)
The active flag is used by legacy BIOS systems on x86 systems.
On other architectures it could cause trouble because that
information is not expected
* Fri Sep 19 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Eliminate use of haveBootPartition variable in the initrd code
kiwi provides exact information in the partition ID's variables
created when the image is build in setupPartIDs. The indicator if
a boot partition is in use was not set correctly by the existing
function. The indicator for a boot partition should be the
filesystem label set to 'BOOT' and the check if this partition is
not equal to the root partition. In the repartition code the
partition ID for the root partition is always defined correctly
by the kiwi_RootPart variable and should not depend on any
condition. That way there was no code left which requires and
extra boolean haveBootPartition variable and also fixes the wrong
pID assignment described in bug (bnc #897497)
* Fri Sep 19 2014 - coolo@suse.de
- remove media check from mini iso (bnc#895021)
* Thu Sep 18 2014 - coolo@suse.de
- make the mini isos reasonable size again
instead of just removing the root file, remove all files actually downloaded
from NET repo
* Wed Sep 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.161 released
* Wed Sep 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Add a post install script for kiwi
The file /dev/shm/lwp-download will be removed in order to
allow kiwi to create this file with the permissions it needs.
The support to allow kiwi to run kiwi --info as non root user
requires this cleanup step because lwp-download is created
with permissions which allows root and normal users to call
the script. former versions leaves a version of the script
which doesn't allow non root users to call or change it which
results in a raise condition for a non privileged --info
call
* Wed Sep 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Really fixed package update from sle11 to sle12 (bnc #893340)
the man pages were moved from kiwi-doc to the main kiwi package
between sle11 and sle12. Thus the main kiwi package has to set
a conflicts for the kiwi-doc package in versions < 5
* Wed Sep 17 2014 - adrian@suse.de
- KIWICollect: handle POOL flavors as "ftp" flavors (bnc#896930)
* Wed Sep 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed spec file by adding missing requirements; tar and psmisc
* Tue Sep 16 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Allow kiwi --info to be called without root permission
There is one exception though. If the repo is an iso file
which needs to be loop mounted we still need root privileges
to call the mount system call. In such a case kiwi will
exit with a useful error message
* Tue Sep 16 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.160 released
* Tue Sep 16 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Improve spee of nic setup in netboot initrd (bnc #893788)
With this commit the list of preferred interfaces which are
either the BOOTIF interface or the list of all detected ones
is used to run the dhcp discovery. The first successfully
discovered interface is used to setup the default gateway
and route as there can only be one
* Tue Sep 16 2014 - schwab@suse.de
- linuxefi only exists in grub2 on x86
* Mon Sep 15 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed package build due to failed unit tests
The unit tests failed when building on non x86 architectures
because the test reference files for these architectures
contained an unexpected newline at the end of the file. In
addition subsequent tests should not fail which was the case
because existing test tmpdirs were not correctly cleaned up
* Fri Sep 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Use legacy bios_grub partition only on ix86 and x86_64 (bnc #896445)
* Fri Sep 12 2014 - ms@suse.de

- Move useLVM helper function into global space and explain
conditions for using LVM or not in one central place
* Fri Sep 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added runtime check for the bootpartition requirements
If the use of a bootpartition is explicitly disabled
and one of the filesystems btrfs, zfs or xfs are used
this is only supported with the grub2 bootloader.
* Fri Sep 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Implement preferlvm="true|false" attribute for <systemdisk>
When using filesystems which provides a volume management like
btrfs and zfs do, kiwi will make use of it by default. With the
preferlvm attribute the user can overwrite the default and prefer
LVM for volume management
* Thu Sep 11 2014 - opensuse@adamspiers.org
- make the two vagrant box templates more consistent
This makes it easier to see the differences which really matter.
* Thu Sep 11 2014 - opensuse@adamspiers.org
- remove pointless $xmlsize assignment
This assignment is pointless since $xmlsize will always get set to
another value soon after.
* Thu Sep 11 2014 - adrian@suse.de
- do not publish appdata for source rpms
* Thu Sep 11 2014 - ms@suse.de

* Wed Sep 10 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Update unit tests due to ovf osType adaptions
* Wed Sep 10 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed OVF creation for writing osType
osType is a subsection of the OperatingSystemSection not an attribute
osType was supported for VMware vmw: flagged systems. This patch adds
osType support for virtualbox vbox: flagged systems too
* Tue Sep 09 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.158 released
* Tue Sep 09 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed spec file requirement for perl-Config-IniFiles (bnc #895623)
Older versions of this module doesn't have the 'exists' method
which is used by kiwi
* Tue Sep 09 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Remove obsolete/unused code from KIWILog::setFlag
* Mon Sep 08 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Follow up fix for message logging
prevent obsolete in cache newline
* Mon Sep 08 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added missing lvmetad tool
The tools is required to scan the LVM metadata if it does live
on e.g md devices. It seems the default internal scanning did
not work correctly on pvresize, vgchange, etc...
* Mon Sep 08 2014 - aosthof@suse.de
- Fixed indentation
* Mon Sep 08 2014 - aosthof@suse.de
- Corrected typo (s/sda1/hda1)
* Mon Sep 08 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed building of vagrant boxes (bnc #895353)
If multiple boxes for different providers are built at once
kiwi uses the result of the first build as input for the next
one which is wrong because it should use the same raw disk
file for all format conversions
* Mon Sep 08 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Don't create /var/run (/run) tmpfs for SLE11 systems (bnc #895417)
* Mon Sep 08 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed message logging
Due to the status flags the sequence of log messages could look
broken because of missing newlines at the end of a log message.
This patch checks if a newline is required for the previos message
when the next message is on the way
* Mon Sep 08 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed reset of cursor position to work on both stderr _and_ stdout
This fixes messages displayed in flag colors to be correctly
displayed in the standard terminal output color
* Mon Sep 08 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Put kiwiOVFConfigWriter.pm from critic level 2 to 3 because
of too high code complexity for level 2. We need to refactor
the ovf code but for now I just lowered the critic level
* Fri Sep 05 2014 - opensuse@adamspiers.org
- make it clear which directory couldn't be created
If a previous build failed, it might have left the root directory
behind. Giving the path in the error will help the user clean it up.

Within the vagrant virtualbox box creation the vmdk file was
renamed but this action broke the reference to that file inside
the ovf config file
* Fri Aug 29 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Prevent creation of custom /etc/ImagePackages in netboot
The information there is created at image creation time
already and the call increases the first boot time. This
fixes (bnc #893776)
* Fri Aug 29 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Make sure kiwi initrd creates /run/log
dracut stores its log file there
* Tue Aug 26 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.155 released
* Tue Aug 26 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Make sure kiwi initrd creates /run/lock (bnc #893624)
The location for /var/lock has been moved to /run/lock and /var/lock
is a symlink instead. /run is a tmpfs and thus the directory must be
created properly
* Tue Aug 26 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.154 released
* Tue Aug 26 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Don't prevent the pre-init stage if root= is set in the cmdline
If a root= information is passed to the cmdline kiwi uses this
device and wrongly indicates the system has completed the first
boot by setting LOCAL_BOOT=yes This prevents the correct setup
of the bootloader device.map as well as the bootloader config
to be written (bnc #893368)
* Tue Aug 26 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Prevent creation of custom /etc/ImagePackages file for the
oem and vmx image types. The information there is created
at image creation time already and the call increases the

changes the layout (bnc #893345)
* Mon Aug 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed NFS root mount, use nolock option (bnc #892672)
* Mon Aug 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed package update from sle11 to sle12 (bnc #893340)
the man pages were moved from kiwi-doc to the main kiwi package
between sle11 and sle12. Thus the main kiwi package has to set
the correct file provides/obsoletes in order to avoid conflicts
* Mon Aug 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- make sure e2fsprogs is installed explicitly in isoboot
boot image descriptions for openSUSE 13.1/13.2 and SLE12
There is no package requirement for e2fsprogs which
pulls it in (bnc #892087)
* Mon Aug 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed spec file requirements
cdrkit-cdrtools-compat is a requirement on suse in order to
correctly find the iso tools in the search path
* Mon Aug 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed legacy service insert/remove using chkconfig
suseInsertService and suseRemoveService can deal with native systemd
services and legacy SYS V init scripts stored in /etc/init.d/. In case
of legacy services a call to "chkconfig /etc/init.d/${service} on|off"
is issued but fails because chkconfig only expects a service name
and not a full path.
* Sun Aug 24 2014 - tbechtold@suse.com
- Set sudoers secure_path for vagrant examples
secure_path is needed to find executables under i.e.
/sbin/ when vagrant uses sudo.
This fixes the problem when using vagrant-libvirt and
sync a folder via 9p which leads currently to:
==> devstack1: mounting p9 share in guest
modprobe 9p
bash: line 2: modprobe: command not found

- v5.06.150 released
* Wed Aug 13 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Allow to boot LVM images without extra boot partition
Added new type attribute bootpartition=true|false. The value
controls the creation of a boot partition for disk images and
overwrites the default layout kiwi would create if this is not
specified. It's not guaranteed that the resulting image is able
to boot with regards to the underlaying bootloader capabilities
Given that grub2 in a recent version is used booting LVM images
using extX and btrfs filesystems will work

- Adapt unit tests for OVF tests to be correct with regards
to the size of the fake image and the size configured
* Mon Aug 04 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed KIWIOVFConfigWriter::writeConfigFile
The size placed as ovf:capacity in the OVF metadata should
be obtained from the real embedded image and not from the
XML configuration. Reason is mostly that <size> is an option
in the XML configuration and also does not exactly match
the real byte value due to alignment adaptions
* Mon Aug 04 2014 - ms@suse.de

The test has been written exclusively for the x86_64 architecture
In order to not fail on other architectures I added an arch
check when needed. Actually this is not an ideal solution and
the test itself should be written arch independent. Thus I
expect a follow up on this one soon

* Thu Jul 31 2014 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Implement OVF config writer class
+ This isolates the configuration writing functionality from other code
and makes it unit testable.
+ Update the ovf file writing to more closely resemble what vCloud expects

package requirements according to the selected build type. In
case of docker and tbz types the needed Provides tag was missing
* Thu Jul 31 2014 - thardeck@suse.de
- Prevent DiskStartSector values below the global default
Since the DiskAlignment value is used to calculate the DiskStartSector
it is possible to have a too small value.
To prevent this the global DiskStartSector default is used if the
DiskAlignment value is smaller.
This behavior can be overwritten by using the parameter
--disk-start-sector.
* Thu Jul 31 2014 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Add notset support to the test log
+ The KIWILog implements notset indicators. The test log needs to handle
this to support testing more code
- Implement file comparison support
+ Thus far we have encoded reference results in the test directly. This is
not practical when comparing larger generated files such as container or
ovf configuration files. This implements support for storing reference
results as files and using the reference results for comparison
* Thu Jul 31 2014 - thardeck@suse.de
- Set disk alignment default value to 1 MB

- Fixed setup of object variable originXMLPath
According to the XML read code moved from KIWIBoot into a function
KIWIGlobals::readXMLFromImage the path information was stored in
the wrong module. This had an impact to the search path of the
editbootinstall/editbootconfig scripts so that they were not
found anymore if specified relatively to the origin of the XML
description
* Thu Jul 24 2014 - ms@suse.de

- Prevent initrd code to break console setup
Many people using more than one active console stumbled over
the problem that messages gets lost while the system is booting
the first time with the kiwi initrd. The following changes
fixes this:
* Setting up console by using udev's console_init
* Added handleSplash hook at the end of the hideSplash function
and let kiwi only disable the splash if there is one active
console
* There is not much value using klogconsole to set the kernel
default loglevel. Delete this code and the no longer needed
klogconsole tool from the kiwi initrd

* Wed Jun 18 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed building of firmware="ec2" image in combination with grub2
The partition table type was set to gpt in this case but that

* Mon Jun 16 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed error handling in recovery mode
* the progress information is shown by the continous output
of a sub process of the calling shell. The sub-process has
no access to the controlling terminal thus calling system
exceptions there cause a hangup of the process at that
stage. This patch fixes it by not calling exceptions and
handling the result exit code of the sub-process outside

- Fixed createFilesystem boot code function
* make sure btrfs creation uses -f option to force creation
of filesystem even if another fs exists

- Added better handling of custom/unpackaged file in analyser
Instead of an auto generated sync script the code to sync
the data moved into KIWIAnalyseSystem. by default no sync
file information is configured but a descriptive markdown
readme including an example is added to the generated
description. The user now only needs to place a file called
custom.sync
describing which files/directories should be content
controlled and any subsequent call of kiwi --describe will
do the job
* Thu Jun 12 2014 - adrian@suse.de
- do not overwrite product release number if it is set to "0"
* Wed Jun 11 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Update createCustomDataSyncScript
* the script now requires an argument which could be the kiwi
generated custom.files file. if called without argument an
information how to use the custom.sync script is displayed
The reason why we changed from default use of custom.files
to a self provided information is that on real systems many
custom files and directories exists but not all of them
needs to be tracked

* quote shell escape chars because the url is passed to lwp-download
* fix regexp extracting url credentials. the expression matches too
much of a file path in the first ancor
* fixed cleanup of files downloaded if solvable creation out of
this data has failed. Don't leave waste of data in this case
* Wed Jun 11 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed kiwi --info <image-description> --select repo-patterns
* For SLE12 and Factory the new pattern system is based on
rpm packages. Thus the solvable metadata has changed. This

This avoids the need to manually track kiwi dependencies in OBS prjconf substitute
rules. However, we need to disable the rules for current distros, but that
will phase out via time :)

With bundle-build and the given build number and build target
directory kiwi takes the information from the build target
directory and bundles the user relevant image files as single
files and/or tarball suitable for publishing.

- KIWICollect: fix order of architectures if one repository contains multiple architecture
versions of same rpm.
* Tue Jun 03 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Write a kiwi.buildinfo file for each build
The buildinfo file contains information about the build which
will be used to collect user relevant image files according
to the requested image type and parameters. The result of a
kiwi build could contain intermediate build results which
will be embedded in the final result and stay in the result
directory in order to allow faster rebuilds. There will be
a new kiwi post processing command which collects only the
important result image files and provide them together with
a build number.
* Mon Jun 02 2014 - ms@suse.de

* Sun May 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Be a bit smarter in best guess of the minimum size for
the boot partition if we need one. The function __getBootSize
now calculates the size using some parameters to keep
roughly 100MB free. This is more accurate than using a
fixed size min default value. Setting a custom value for the
boot partition using the bootpartsize attribute results in
+ Use of bootpartsize without any message if it is bigger
than recommended value
+ Use of bootpartsize with warning if it is smaller than
recommended value

- drop license.tar.gz in root dir for rpm-md repos
- fail when license.tar.gz misses one of the required files
* license.txt
* directory.yast
license.tar.gz is still part of the rpm-md metadata directory
* Tue May 13 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added support for creating vagrant boxes
In order to create a vagrant box the format parameter in the
image type acts as trigger to start the box creation. Vagrant
boxes requires some metadata in order to allow adding the box
for a specific provider. Thus the following minimal type spec
is needed e.g:
<type image="vmx" ... format="vagrant">
<vagrantconfig provider="libvirt" virtualsize="16"/>
</type>
The result .box file can be added to vagrant as follows
vagrant box add <name> /path/to/file.box
Once added vagrant can run the box using the specified provider
Please note the kiwi image for vagrant needs to provide some
configuration like the existence of a user vagrant and ssh
keys. All this can be achieved in a kiwi image description.

- Fixed service disablement in docker types for non
systemd based distributions e.g SLE11
* Fri May 09 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed creation of live iso images with flags="compressed"
In this mode the live setup is based on a split image type and
did not allow to have a persistent data block available in the
iso. This patch changed this so that you can also use the
hybridpersistent="true" feature when using the hybrid iso on
e.g a usb stick to store new data persistently
* Fri May 09 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added live iso type to SLE11 JeOS template

- Fixed directory check in cleanMount
If no repo alias is set the repo uri is also used as name for
the mount point directory. In this case the name could contain
quoted characters. Perl's test operator can't deal with shell
escaped directory names. Thus we check with the shell test
built-in if the mount point directory exists

kiwi supports creation of lxc images which are stored below
var/lib/lxc/<container-name>. The docker subsystem expects
the image to be packed differently. Thus we added a new type:
<type image="docker">
The information about the container name is optional in this

* If a volume with size="all" is specified and in addition this
volume takes a custom volume name with a custom mountpoint,
the variable was setup with the kiwi default volume naming
schema but not with the real volume name which lead to a
boot problem when kiwi could not find the volume

- Fixed pxePartitionInputGeneric
In case of a raid setup via pxeboot the required partition type 'fd'
is not explicitly provided in the PART line of the client config.
Instead the raid information is given in an additional RAID variable.
Thus the pxePartitionInputGeneric function has to set the partition
type 'fd' if the RAID variable is set too.
* Wed Apr 23 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Follow up fix for partedGetPartitionID
* return if no partition label could be detected
* Wed Apr 23 2014 - ms@suse.de

type. This is done because the upstream way of setting swap type
is broken in the suse parted.
* Tue Apr 22 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed message displayed when the partition table is created/updated.
Even in the case of creating a new partition table the message said
something about repartition of the disk which is misleading. Thus
the message changed to just tell the user about a partition
process happening now

- drop .channel files for products, generate .report files instead
The approach to generate _channel file for OBS maintenance is not working,
since it requires the knowledge of OBS setup internas. There we drop this
here, let kiwi generate instead report files which document which files got
used.
We can use them for diffing results, for tracking build results in OBS and
obs worker can generate _channel files with knowledge of setup internas.

KIWI exited with errors.
To keep consistency and since the done message wasn't really needed
because the last message is not a task it was also removed for
the success messages.
* Mon Apr 14 2014 - ms@suse.de

machine
* Mon Apr 14 2014 - ms@suse.de

- Added support for multipath devices
<oem-multipath-scan>true|false</oem-multipath-scan>
by default the scanning for multipath devices is turned on.
The code in the initrd looking up multipath devices also
checks for preconditions like the ability to start the
multipathd and use the multipath tools. If you don't see
the multipath devices in the selection list but expect
this according to the oemconfig setup please refer to the
kiwi boot log file for further details
* Wed Apr 09 2014 - ms@suse.de
- fixed diskOffset() function

- Avoid use of fixed 512 byte blocksize (bnc #864285)
* in order to just zero out some space where it does not
matter if it's 512byte or more, use 4k instead. This is
to stay compatible with 4k storage devices

and targetblocksize check for the real physical blocksize
and don't assume 512byte
* Fri Apr 04 2014 - ms@suse.de

allowed to be specified without --set|add-repotype
if zypper is used as package manager and no type is set for
the repository the zypper auto detection is used. In case of
any other package manager the default repository type rpm-md
is used. An information about the selected type is printed if
no type is explicitly set
In a sequence of repositories added via commandline arguments
using --add-repotype still requires to specify the type for
all given repositories in order to be able to correctly
assign the type to the added repository in the same way as
this is required for alias and priority information

the repository attribute prefer-license which downloads the
license information and unpacks it below /etc/YaST2/licenses/base
In order to let the displayEULA() function in the boot code find
this files we had to extend the license search path
* Tue Mar 18 2014 - ms@suse.de

- Fixed git check in kiwi --describe
* Fri Mar 14 2014 - ms@suse.de
- The installation of patterns and products in SLE12 requires
the use of zypper for SLE12. That's because the repository
metadata has changed with regards to the product definition
and in addition patterns are now provided as extra packages.
In order to stay compatible the suse-SLE12-JeOS template
adds the installation of the base pattern and the SLES
product by installing the appropriate packages and includes
a comment describing that the definition of <product> and
<namedCollection> only works if the build host uses the
SLE12 zypper
* Thu Mar 13 2014 - adrian@suse.de
- skip createpackagedescr and package translations for empty DESCRDIR case
* Thu Mar 13 2014 - adrian@suse.de
- skip createsha1sums and directory.yast creation if DESCRDIR is not set
* Thu Mar 13 2014 - ms@suse.de
- added compatibility mode for EFI images on SLE11
* SLE11 supports EFI only via the elilo bootloader with one
exception which is secure boot. In that mode the grub2
signed module is used and the functionality is hidden
behind an elilo wrapper program so that all tools e.g yast
doesn't have to really support grub2. In order to leave
a SLES image in a supported state it was required to adapt
to this layout in kiwi
* Thu Mar 13 2014 - rjschwei@suse.com

* Thu Mar 13 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Don't set partition type if the default 0x83 type is requested
In that case it's not needed to set a partition type because
the parted default type is the same. In addition this workarounds
the problem that the SUSE 'type' extension is no longer present
in parted 3.x
* Thu Mar 13 2014 - Kanstantsin_Shautsou@epam.com
- Don't force ovftool for ova.
* Wed Mar 12 2014 - ms@suse.de

If firmware is set to efi the prefix for the legacy bios
grub.cfg was also set to the efi path which was wrong
* Wed Mar 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Update suse-SLE12-JeOS image template
Use EFI setup by default, kiwi uses parted's bios_grub flag to stay
compatible with the legacy BIOS
* Wed Mar 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Removed clicfs from boot descriptions for SLE12 and openSUSE 13.2
With overlayfs there is a successor provided with the kernel. In
order to use clicfs add the package with the bootinclude attribute
as part of your system image description
* Wed Mar 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Removed clicfs from boot images for ppc and s390
* Wed Mar 12 2014 - ms@suse.de

by the setupUnionFS function and make sure unionFST has a
value in all union modes
* Wed Mar 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Removed master-boot-code to be a required package
The mbr provided with this package is only used if kiwi is called
with the --grub-chainload option and the concept also only works
with legacy grub which is on its way to becoe obsolete
* Wed Mar 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed listImage() to print a message if no templates can be found
* Wed Mar 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Cleanup/Improve usage output
If you just call kiwi without any arguments you got the long
usage list which is not very helpful. Thus this has changed
to print a message what you could do next including a list
of currently available templates
* Tue Mar 11 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Removed unionfs-fuse from package list of netboot images
because it's not part of the medias. If you need the support
add the package in the system image XML as follows:
<package name="unionfs-fuse" bootinclude="true"/>

- Fixed createCustomDataForType in analyser code
Don't ignore empty directories
- Added custom strip implementation in __stripCustomData which
provides only the name of the directory if all data below this
directory contains only custom files. Problem is that other
types of data e.g repo checkouts might vanish from the report
which is imho unwanted. Therefore the code is currently
deactivated
* Fri Mar 07 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.48 released

The function uses 'mount' to test if the read-write location
can be mounted. If not or RELOAD_IMAGE is set the read-write part
is created from scratch and that action is logged accordingly.
The possible error message from the mount call is a false positive
information here and just makes people nervous :) Thus should
not be logged
* Fri Mar 07 2014 - adrian@suse.de
- support non-standard rpm directories for products
Can be used to create pool channels without a suse/ subdirectory.
Written by ro@suse.de

- Make sure package providing 'fuser' command is installed in
all boot image descriptions
* Thu Mar 06 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Make sure package providing 'ip' command is installed in
all boot image descriptions because the code using the obsolete
ifconfig tool has been replaced by using the 'ip' command
* Thu Mar 06 2014 - adrian@suse.de
- create channel file templates for products
This is replacing the .packages generation code since it is similar,
but the channel files are better defined and structured.
* Thu Mar 06 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Add check for EFI fat image on iso media in makeIsoEFIBootable
If the EFI fat image already exists don't recreate it. When building
product media the image is provided by the installation-images-*

* Tue Mar 04 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed use of add-repoprio and add-repoalias options
If either a repository priority or alias is specified on the
commandline it must be specified for all added repositories
in order to make clear for which repository the parameters
should apply (bnc #865230)

- Revert "- the controller type 'scsi' does not exist for VMware"
This reverts commit 78077282df830e1f7d7b4e47f0953246186cca15
I did something stupid here and changed the key name of the
config file which makes the config file invalid
* Mon Mar 03 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Make git a recommended package in the spec file
Modularize analyser code to work with and without git
* Mon Mar 03 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed suseGFXBoot graphics boot setup with gfxboot-devel
Because of the change which uses isolinux as loader for install
ISO media and not the configured disk bootloader as eltorito
alternative loader we need both boot graphics formats available
the one for isolinux as well as the one for the selected system
bootloader. The code in suseGFXBoot reflects this for the
boot graphics provided by packages but not if the user provides
a custom tarball for use with gfxboot-devel
* Mon Mar 03 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed misleading function names
getInstallFailsafe -> getInstallProvideFailsafe
setInstallFailsafe -> setInstallProvideFailsafe
This is all about if a failsafe menu entry should be provided
to the image boot configuration or not. Thus the function
names should describe this and not lead to the assumption
that one can select the failsafe entry from the boot menu
which is actually done by the installboot="failsafe-install"
attribute
* Mon Mar 03 2014 - ms@suse.de
- the controller type 'scsi' does not exist for VMware
lsilogic and buslogic define scsi controllers. Thus
use lsilogic as the default scsi controller

* Thu Feb 27 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed createS390CDLoader() for s390 media creator
The s390 loader file cd.ikr was created on demand but the new
installation-images packages provide this file. Thus there is
no reason to create it if it already exists
* Thu Feb 27 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed custom files analyser
More intuitive and not only directory based level 1 search in /
Fix for rpm directory strip, expression would match e.g /emil
in the same way as /emil1 which is wrong

- v5.06.40 released
* Thu Feb 27 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed spec file
kiwi-tools should specify the %%{_defaultdocdir}/kiwi as a directory
entry otherwise we might end up with the directory not belonging to
any package but files inside do belong to a package
* Thu Feb 27 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed setupNetworkWicked
Use bin/wickedd-dhcp4 instead of the mainstream wicked program
wicked relies on dbus which is not helpful within an initrd
environment. Fortunately there is the wickedd-dhcp4 helper which
just asks for the lease from the DHCP. The setup of the network
interface and routing is then done by setupNetworkWicked but will
change in the future if wicked becomes more mature
* Wed Feb 26 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Make sure ip command is part of the oem and netboot image
descriptions starting with openSUSE 13.2 and SLE12. Instead
ifconfig is no longer part of these descriptions

- Fixed spec file recommends
db45-utils and db48-utils should be recommended in a row
* Tue Feb 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Update list of recommended packages in spec file
Problem here is that by default SUSE installs with recommended
packages which in case of kiwi will cause a huge workload
because e.g the recommended jing package pulls the entire
java stack. Because of that the list of recommends has been
reduced
* Tue Feb 25 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added virt-utils requires for kiwi-instsource package
qemu-img is used for building products (bnc #865242)

- DB: update NBD documentation (bnc #865237)
NBD has changed their negotiation style from port to name based
* Mon Feb 24 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed nbd-client invocation in netboot (bnc #865237)
nbd has changed it's negotiation style from port based server to
name based exports. Thus the client has to connect to an export
name and not a port the server listens to
Example NBD server config:
[generic]
user = root
group = root
[export1]
exportname = /some/file
Example NBD localhost test:
nbd-server -C config-file
nbd-client -N export1 localhost /dev/nbd0
* Sun Feb 23 2014 - ms@suse.de
- make sure overlayfs and ext4 are part of the netboot boot

paths used for overlay filesystems
* Sat Feb 22 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Follow up patch for last commit (bnc #865229)
Call resetBootBind only if NETBOOT_ONLY is _not_ set
* Sat Feb 22 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed setupBootPartitionPXE
in a NFSROOT setup the variable imageRootDevice is not empty but
does not point to a real local device, it points to an nfs root
mountpoint. Thus we need to leave the function early because
setting up a boot partition doesn't make any sense (bnc #865229)
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed kiwi --info
* if there are solver problems, display the error information
* added object destructor to cleanup repo loop mounts
* exit with error if requested information can't be delivered

* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.36 released
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed spec file requires and recommends
* lxc doesn't need to be recommended because the plain building task
does not require lxc to be around
* clicfs has a successor with overlayfs and should no longer be
recommended
* lvm2, squashfs and master-boot-code are relevant requires for
building disk based images. Thus they are needed along with
the kiwi-desc-vmx|oemboot sub-packages but not with the kiwi
base package
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Compatibility fix for the 'git init' call
older versions of git do not accept a directory as parameter
like the version we have in SLE11
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.35 released
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed writeXML
* The creation of the package items should use the native
XML methods and not directly hook into the internal data
structure
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Removed code reducing a package list to the minimum required
solver list. The result is correct but it takes long if many
packages are installed and the result is not uniq
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.34 released
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed creation of kiwi template description in kiwi --describe
* use a fixed bootstrap section as default to avoid solver problems
when building a new system from scratch
* add analysed packages and patterns to the image section and not
to bootstrap so that they will be installed by the native installer
inside the chroot
* instead of adding items to a delete section add them as ignore
this will make use of the zypper al feature and is the better
approach
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed capability check for old satsolver perl binding
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.33 released

- Added git clone url to the result of kiwi --describe
* also added a function getIPAddress which is used for the
clone url as well as for the custom files sync script
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed return value for getHardwareDependantPackages
if no such packages was found the function should return undef
instead of a pointer to an empty data structure
* Fri Feb 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed udev rule for suse-SLE12-JeOS lan0 nic name
the match for KERNEL was still based on eth*
* Wed Feb 19 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.32 released
* Wed Feb 19 2014 - ms@suse.de

and a dhcp interface configuration for it to the SLE12
JeOS template
* Tue Feb 18 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed calculation of rest items on a leaf

* Tue Feb 18 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added wicked as package for SLE12 JeOS
* Tue Feb 18 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed report page, not all views got a hyper link
* Tue Feb 18 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Changed the way how custom files are populated in kiwi --describe
* Formerly this was done by creating a hard linked list below
a directory called custom/ But this has bad effects e.g on
programs checking how many hardlinks exist on a config file
like it is done by e.g postfix. Thus we now store a file
custom.files instead of an entire tree containing all custom
files as input to an auto generated rsync script custom.sync
On the report page the script is described and the user can
now either sync all of its custom files which is in most cases
not wanted or adapt the custom.files prio to the sync.
Later there might also be a more convenient way to fiddle
with custom.files
* Tue Feb 18 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Stop D3 displayed items at max_child = 5 and display the
information how many more items exists
* Mon Feb 17 2014 - ms@suse.de

* Fri Feb 14 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.31 released
* Fri Feb 14 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed call of distro initrd tool
* don't rely on run-init helper program, does not exist with
dracut and therefore not on SLE12 or RHEL
* add generic setupInitrd function which checks for either
dracut or mkinitrd and prefers dracut if present
* Fri Feb 14 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fix suse-SLE12-JeOS description to work fur current Alpha Release
* Patterns are broken at the moment. They contain packages not part
of SLE12 at the moment, e.g yast2-mouse. Thus comment out use of
base pattern for the moment
* There are no SLES12 branding packages available. Thus comment out
grub2 and plymouth branding
* Thu Feb 13 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Improve searching for custom files
Make the code more readable, also skip proc/devpts/sysfs filesystems
Along with that search in junks and make sure the xargs limit is not
exceeded. Also reduce the list of searched directories with regards
to the recursive search done by find
* Wed Feb 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed use of config-yast-autoyast.xml
If this file is present in the kiwi configuration directory, kiwi
setup an environment which activates the call of autoyast on first
boot. The file install.inf controlls this environment. With this
patch the parameter 'Textmode' will be set to '0' which activates
the start of yast on a X-Server and falls back to ncurses mode if
no X-Server can be started
* Wed Feb 12 2014 - dvaleev@suse.com
- Bless grub2 binary for pmac

- Added preCallInit hook call to netboot boot image descriptions
This hook already existed in oem and vmx boot images and was
still not added to netboot
* Tue Feb 04 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added __checkYaSTenvironment() runtime check
With this check kiwi searches the given package list for entries
starting with 'yast2' in order to make sure the user has at least
added one yast client module if either the use of autoyast or the
yast2 firstboot service was requested as part of the image
description. It has turned out that people using autoyast in
kiwi often forget to add the required YaST client packages. This
check cannot make sure that the autoyast profile works correctly,
it also does not know which client packages are required but it
at least gives a hint if no yast stack is installed
* Tue Feb 04 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed JeOS image descriptions
Added a function suseRemoveYaST which removes the yast packages
if they are not needed by e.g autoyast or firstboot service.
Replaced the unconditional remove of yast packages in all
JeOS config.sh scripts by the new function
* Tue Feb 04 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Implementation of new analyser code.
Refactor the existing code to run faster and removed unused
analyser code. In addition some tasks are done by shell scripts
with regards to be able to use the same code in the Alfred

* Fri Jan 31 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.25 released
* Fri Jan 31 2014 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setupNetwork() function
in order to assign a network interface according to the BOOTIF MAC
address information kiwi searches through a list of mac addresses
and if found assigns the appropriate interface. This search was
broken because the MAC from BOOTIF is lowercase whereas the mac
list contains upper case data. Thus the mac list data is turned
into lowercase to allow a correct matching
* Fri Jan 31 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Make sure image is filled with random data prior to
the creation of a luksFormat on it
* Fri Jan 31 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added __hasBootLoaderTools runtime check
With this check we test if the tool chain to install the requested
bootloader is installed on the image build machine
* Fri Jan 31 2014 - ms@suse.de

This attribute allows to select a specific set of options passed
to the cryptsetup call in order to create a consistent luks format
supported by the capabilities of the selected distribution.
With this commit luksOS="sle11" will be supported

- Added __checkHaveTypeToBuild runtime check
With this check the presence and selection of a build type is checked
* Tue Jan 28 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added __checkCorrectRootFSPermissons runtime check
With this check kiwi validates the consistency of the created
unpacked root tree while calling the create step. Consistency
means a number of LSB toplevel directories is checked for
their correct root/root owner and group name. Recently people
using NFS or ZFS as image target directory ran into the problem
that the filesystem stores files under the nobody user identity
even if the caller was root. The result is a completely broken
system which should be prevented by this runtime check
* Mon Jan 27 2014 - rjschwei@suse.com
- generate "scsi" as the device type prefix for all controllers except for ide
in the .vmx file
* Mon Jan 27 2014 - rjschwei@suse.com
- support a boottimeout value of 0
+ at present we checked for boottimeout value to evaluate to true, but in
Perl the string "0" evaluates to false although the string is not empty,
thus the truth test failed an we used the default of 10
* Fri Jan 24 2014 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.23 released
* Fri Jan 24 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed GRUB_TIMEOUT setup in etc/default/grub
the kiwi boot code did not hand over the value from the XML space
to the appropriate grub config file so that grub2-mkconfig did
not incorporate the value
* Fri Jan 24 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed invocation of oemboot::postImageDump hook script
The hook should be called in any case no matter which other
oem install options are defined

- Fixed spec file, clicfs is not a requirement
* Thu Jan 23 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added libsolv support to KIWISatSolver
The class supports libsatsolver and libsolv, if libsolv is present
it is preferred because it's the successor of libsatsolver
* Wed Jan 22 2014 - ms@suse.de
- restructure KIWISatSolver class
In preparation to support libsolv the satsolver class has been
redesigned to work with both the libsatsolver and the libsolv
implementations. Support for libsolv will follow soon
* Wed Jan 22 2014 - ms@suse.de

- some changes to the arm suse-13.2-JeOS template and code
* currently suse-13.2-JeOS contains only a profile for raspberry
* the vboot support uses no gpt if the berryboot loader is set
* vboot + berryboot creates a boot setup which let the standard
raspberry loader chainload our uboot which then loads the
kernel and initrd from a linux ext2 second partition
* Wed Jan 22 2014 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* updates EC2 chapter, kiwi uses disk images instead of flat
filesystem images now to support EC2
* Wed Jan 22 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed docbook syntax for changes recently done in kiwi-doc-ec2.xml
* Wed Jan 22 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed KIWISatSolver to work with new solvables
Unfortunately I was told that the current solver bindings provided
with the perl-satsolver package will no longer be maintained. Instead
there will be a new lib and package called libsolv. kiwi needs to
adapt to the bindings for libsolv in order to stay compatible with
the solver results of the zypper package manager. At the moment the
problem of the new "self-conflict" feature could be solved by
setting set_allow_self_conflicts in the old satsolver library,
which is what this patch does. For the future we need to support
libsolv though
* Tue Jan 21 2014 - rjschwei@suse.com
- final touches for EC2 changes
+ let kiwi add root= to the kernel command line for EC2 images
this is needed to get the drivers to load properly
+ consider installfailsafe setting for grub vmx images
* Tue Jan 21 2014 - rjschwei@suse.com
- update the documentation for the EC2 image build
+ document new commands to use for uploading images aws-cli vs ec2-*
commands
+ changes due to the new way of building images
- we no longer create the bundle in kiwi
_ adjust for removed XML elements
- update the examples to reflect the new type element setup for EC2

- fix spelling EC2 not Ec2
* Tue Jan 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- follow up fix for KIWIGlobals::mount() method
let the check for disk or filesystem also work if blkid does
not support PTTYPE detection. In this case we assume a disk if
we don't get any blkid information. Older versions of blkid
don't support partition table type detection
* Tue Jan 21 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed vmx type definition for EC2 usage in all templates
* use ec2 and ec2k boot and kernel profiles
* Tue Jan 21 2014 - ms@suse.de

The detection for a disk device is now done by checking for PTTYPE using blkid
* Mon Jan 20 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed typo, missing result flag
* Mon Jan 20 2014 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Change the way we create an EC2 image
+ Previously we created an EC2 image as a flat filesystem image
this requred some special codeing and we ended up calling mkinitrd
from within kiwi. As mkinitrd evolved to require a live root filesystem
and with the impending move to dracut we need to start using a kiwi
generated initrd. Therefore, EC2 image will now be created as disk
images just like other vmx images. We also drop the use of the
external ec2-ami-tools. Creating abundle is relatively easy and this
functionality requires people to add thei EC2 credentials to the config
file. That makes it easy to accidentally share private information.
+ Remove XML elemnts ec2config and its children
ec2accountnr, ec2certfile, ec2privatekeyfile, ec2region
+ Introduce "ec2" as a firmware option
we need this to set the partition table to be gpt instead of msdos
+ Print an error message for format="ec2" during XML validation
we maintain format="ec2" in the schema for now to allow us to generate
a more sensible error message than the parser would. This is an
incompatible schema change
+ Remove EC2 region check in Validator
+ Remove KIWIEC2Region.txt
+ Update unit tests
+ Properly pass the boottimeout setting to the initrd config
+ Remove the XMLEC2Data object and its unit tests
+ Remove special code for EC2 initrd creation calling mkinitrd
* Mon Jan 20 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed ec2 kernel profile for 13.1/13.2 and SLE11/12
the required xen drivers were not added when using ec2 profile
the xen package must not be installed when using ec2 profile
* Mon Jan 20 2014 - ms@suse.de
- added ec2Flavour profile to create EC2 VMX disk image types along
with this change the examples using format="ec2" were adapted to
disk layout instead of flat (filesystem) layout too
* Mon Jan 20 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed spec file
Provide a better and more detailed description about the
use and scope of the kiwi-tools sub-package

- Print information about which kernel is extracted from the initrd
* Fri Jan 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Changed SLES/SLED boot image descriptions to install all packages
in one host zypper controlled bootstrap step. This allows using
these descriptions also with older SLES products which provides
a not supported zypper version
* Fri Jan 17 2014 - ms@suse.de
- fixed misleading error message when mapping the kernel file name
to a common name. If a file with this name alredy exists we print
an error but there is no error.

of the image build and not in the image phase.
* Thu Jan 16 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Update arm JeOS image descriptions
* Wed Jan 15 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed labels configured in isolinux.msg
The isolinux.msg is the text file displayed if no graphics theme
could be displayed in the isolinux bootloader. In that message
file the label "Boot from Hard Disk" was missing
* Wed Jan 15 2014 - ms@suse.de
- KIWIManagerZypper, allow package locks
Using an ignore statement in the <packages> section like this
<ignore name="some-package"/>
did not had an effect because kiwi did not set a zypper add lock
on the specified items. This patch now takes care for the ignore
setup and allows to prevent the installation of packages even
if zypper would have selected them. If a hard required package
e.g glibc is set to become ignored this of course will cause a
non solvable conflict and the process exits with an error
* Wed Jan 15 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added install ISO compatibility link for non standard EFI firmware
EFI/Boot -> EFI/BOOT
* Wed Jan 15 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Fixed grub2 prefix setup in grub.cfg. if $root is changed by a
search it's important to update the prefix accordingly
- Fixed grub2-bios-setup call
If the install disk is loop mounted while calling grub2-bios-setup
the call fails the install command can't deal with disk devices
mapped in /dev/mapper
* Wed Jan 15 2014 - ms@suse.de
- KIWIImageFormat
fixed use of qemu-img adapter_type option. If controller ist
set to 'ide' no adapter_type needs to be specified because ide
is the default
* Wed Jan 15 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Allow vmxboot to boot Xen EC2 instances
In order to do that the boot device setup code now also searches
for the presence of the 'root=...' information from cmdline as it
is passed when booting via EC2. If found the given device is used
and the system boots in LOCAL_BOOT mode
* Tue Jan 14 2014 - ms@suse.de
- KIWIAnalyseManagedSoftware
use system installed solvables from /var/cache/zypp/solv. This
speedup the system inspection task (kiwi --describe)

to the package requirements
* Mon Jan 13 2014 - ms@suse.de
- KIWISatSolver
* The quiet parameter was not evaluted correctly and caused
a wrong code workflow and broke the solver result
* Improved performance of the solver. The preparation of the
pool should happen only once
* Sun Jan 12 2014 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild schema documentation
* Fri Jan 10 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Removed static eth0 dhcp network setup from JeOS 13.1/13.2/SLE12
templates. Reason for the change is that network device names are no
longer persistent starting with openSUSE 13.1. Thus we don't know about
the device at build time and cannot safely provide an ifcfg-<device>
configuration.
* Fri Jan 10 2014 - ms@suse.de
- Added in code debug switch for grub2
Currently grub2 debugging is switched off by default but for
getting more information while grub2 loads it's useful to
activate the debug flag by commenting out the line in the code
* Fri Jan 10 2014 - ms@suse.de
- added gfxboot-branding-SLES package to SLES JeOS image template
when building install media we want graphics :-)

- v5.06.17 released
* Thu Jan 09 2014 - ms@suse.de
- fixed evaluation of $hybrid variable in createImageLiveCD
The value is an integer not a string, thus checking for "true"
will not cause the correct effect. This fixes the problem that
isohybrid was not called even if the hybrid attribute was set
in the XML description
* Wed Jan 08 2014 - ms@suse.de
- make sure mountpoint and checkproc tools stay in initrd (bnc #857824)

* Sat Jan 04 2014 - rjschwei@suse.com
- move the filesystem options into an Object
+ eliminate a method in the Globals singleton that is FS independent,
confusing and returns data structure that gets indexed, making data
access error prone
+ first step to moving filesystem options into XML and unifying it
with existing ZFS setting in the XML
+ we should not have disconnected ways of dealing with filesystem options
+ this will help with the implementation of *Builder classes for the
various filesystems
- fix type in the command line test trigger
- fix inconsistency when applying tune options for ext file systems for the
root file system
+ previously it was possible that both user specified tune options and
built in kiwi option were passed to tune2fs. The tune2fs manpage does
not specify the behavior when the same option is specified twice
* Thu Jan 02 2014 - dmueller@suse.com
- Switch to kmod-compat
Otherwise you'll get a conflict in the build service:
conflict for provider of module-init-tools needed by
kiwi-desc-oemboot-requires, (provider module-init-tools is conflicted by
installed kmod-compat)

* Mon Dec 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- arm: berryboot fixes
* berryboot can't read directories, thus we have to keep kernel
and initrd and all other files on the toplevel of the fat32
* berryboot does not pass ATAG_INITRD2 to the kernel, thus we
have to set address and size ourselves
* Mon Dec 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure gfxterm and gfxmenu are embedded into grub loader module
* Fri Dec 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- arm: make sure the fat32 filesystem is created with the -I option
+ See mkdosfs for details on the -I switch. This finally fixes
the boot problems on the Raspberry-Pi boards
* Fri Dec 13 2013 - guillaume.gardet@oliseo.fr
- Update copyBootCode function

will be stored in this folder
* Fri Dec 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- arm: make sure there is no x86 boot code in MBR
* Fri Dec 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setupBootLoaderStages grub module setup (bnc #847912)
* prevent the use of insmod and put them into the grub2 loader
module directly. For secure boot dynamic loading of modules
is not allowed and we also fix the undefined symbols problem
as described in the bug
* Fri Dec 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed dn() function to work correctly with loop devices (bnc #855288)
* Thu Dec 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- Update all JeOS templates to include the gfxboot-branding if
the selected image type is "oem". This is done to have a graphics
boot menu for install iso images
* Thu Dec 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- Use isolinux to boot an install CD
+ Instead of using the bootloader selected for the image raw
disk to boot the install iso we use isolinux which is the
correct loader for an iso. In addition this now also allows
to create hybrid install iso images
* Wed Dec 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- on construction of a KIWIXML instance, return early if no
pointer to the image configuration directory is defined
* Wed Dec 11 2013 - ms@suse.de

* Tue Dec 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- Added better in-code documentation in KIWIAnalyseCustomData
and improved the code flow by reducing the set of unmanaged
data with the rpm managed data in the first place
- fixed all KIWIQX::qxx calls which are called in list context
The result of KIWIQX::qxx is always in scalar context, calling
in list context will put the result as one element of the list
* Tue Dec 10 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- cleanup the evaluation of kiwi_ variables inside the initrd
+ the following elements/attributes accepts true|false values:
<oem-kiwi-initrd>, compressed, hybrid, hybridpersistent and ramonly
These settings are propagated without changes to the linuxrc code
that evaluates the variable to decide whether or not to perform
an action. The evaluation in the shell code was based on yes|no
an old relic that used to be use in the XML a long time ago.
This update changes the evaluation in the shell code
to true|false.
* Mon Dec 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.11 released

- v5.06.10 released
* Mon Dec 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setup of size of boot partition of an install stick
* the original code just uses the size of the initrd to estimate
a size for the boot partition of the install stick. But this
might be too small. Thus the function __getBootSize which
also evaluates the value of the bootpartsize attribute
is used
* Mon Dec 09 2013 - dvaleev@suse.de
- Added ppc64le link to system/repo
* Mon Dec 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.9 released

- arm: berryboot fixed setup in config.txt
* The initial kiwi initrd and the kernel are in boot/
* Mon Dec 09 2013 - adrian@suse.de
- fixed instsource-plugins support for kiwi v5.06.8
* the change in the KIWIQX module no longer exporting qxx
had an impact on the instsource-plugin code. This patch
changes the call to a class method call KIWIQX::qxx
* Mon Dec 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed KIWIRuntimeChecker::__checkSystemDiskData
* if a mountpoint with a custom name is given for a volume
the check incorrectly used the name as path but it should
use the mountpoint as path in this case
* Mon Dec 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- arm: berryboot fixes:
* make sure KIWIConfig::suseGFXBoot copies all required
firmware and loader files from the boot image to the
system image below /image/loader
* Sun Dec 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed simple initrd creation mode (bnc #854321)
* in this mode the inheritance of data from a system to the
boot image is not needed because there is no system image
just the boot image description. This fixes the handling
of profiles passed on the commandline
* Sun Dec 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed simple initrd creation mode (bnc #854321)
* in this mode no image type was passed because the default build
type from the configuration 'cpio' should be used. Depending on
the type the selection to build a boot image or not is done but
at the time of the selection the selected build type variable
was not set
* Fri Dec 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed copyBootCode method
* if no jump partition is set the function still has to proceed
in order to check for boot code which needs to be copied if
other bootloaders e.g uboot/berryboot are in use
* Fri Dec 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.8 released
* Fri Dec 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- berryboot fixes:
* make sure the boot partition indicator is set, because we need
a fat32 boot filesystem to boot
* Fri Dec 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added openSUSE 13.1 JeOS template for raspberry Pi
* Fri Dec 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for berryboot bootloader
* This loader is used on arm Raspberry-Pi systems
* Fri Dec 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized variable $screenLogs
* if logging to the terminal is requested this variable is empty
* Thu Dec 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- Simplify and cleanup the command executor module KIWIQX
* There is no code creating instances of KIWIQX, thus we
only need class methods and should call as such
* If called within the package context the exit status will
stay but can still be evaluated as part of the package.
That way we can keep the backtrace feature and can better
check if enough resources to call the command existed
* Wed Dec 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed extending the LVRoot volume
* if the size of the root volume is set via the @root attribute
in systemdisk and no other allfree volume was specified the
LVRoot volume was extended twice times. first with the specified
size which is ok and later to the full space because no other
volume was specified to take the rest space. The last resize
is unwanted in that case.
* Wed Dec 04 2013 - ms@suse.de

* Wed Dec 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update kiwi man page
* added information about new options added in previos commit
* Wed Dec 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- Added the following options to the analyse custom files code
1. [ --skip-gem-lookup ]\n";
Don't check for files managed by gem. Files managed
by gem will then appear as unmanaged files
2. [ --skip-rcs-lookup ]
Don't check for files managed by revision control systems
like git, svn, osc, etc... Files from such repositories
will then appear as unmanaged files.
3. [ --skip-augeas-lookup ]
Don't check for files known to augeas. Files managed
by augeas will then appear as unmanaged files.
* Wed Dec 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed kiwi analyser default skip list
* proc, sys and others were not excluded because of an
invalid search pattern
* Wed Dec 04 2013 - dvaleev@suse.de
- Enable ppc64le architecture
* Enable powerpc64le architecture, which is almost the same
as powerpc64 but little endian
* Wed Dec 04 2013 - dvaleev@suse.de
- kernel-ppc64 -> kernel-default
* Starting with openSUSE 12.3, powerpc doesn't have special
kernel flavor anymore.
* Tue Dec 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update example image descriptions in doc/ to make use
of suseConfig again as long as we don't have a solution
to use the systemd tools inside a chroot without affecting
the host system setup
* Tue Dec 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- deactivate the use of systemd helper tools
* The following functions have been disabled because they
use the systemd tools timedatectl and localectl. Problem
is that these tools doesn't work correctly from within a
chroot environment. They access the dbus daemon from the
host system and thus they change the currently active
configuration on the host system which is unwanted
setupHWclock
setupKeyboardMap
setupLocale
setupTimezone
Instead the old suseConfig kiwi function is used again
This function simply changes the configuration files
inside the chrooted system tree. suseConfig is called
as part of the config.sh kiwi script
* Mon Dec 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure search via 'type -p' has a full path list

and is handled differently in the pool of distributions.
Instead type -p provided as shell builtin is used
* Sun Nov 24 2013 - magist3r@gmail.com
- Added xz compression support for initrd
* by default gzip compression is in use but you can
switch on xz compression with the following entry
in the .kiwirc file
our $IrdZipper = "xz"
* Fri Nov 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed check for empty destination in cloneImage function
* Fri Nov 22 2013 - ms@suse.de

* when using ovftool extract the created vmdk image and
manifest files from the created OVA. This is required to
produce streamOptimized vmdk images which can't be
generated with qemu
* fixed Invalid value 'MB' for element 'VirtualQuantityUnits'
for vSphere 5 in the .ovf file
* fixed allocated units set in the .ovf, vSphere 5 requires
a value here

* Thu Nov 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added templates and boot-descriptions for openSUSE 13.2
* Thu Nov 21 2013 - thardeck@suse.de
- improvements to KIWIAnalyse:
+ added functions to create a diff of changed configuration files
all config files are checked against the rpm database and if they
have changed the original packages are downloaded and a diff of
them is created. The original config files are stored in the cache
to prevent another download of the packages at next invocation.
The result is stored in the file 'changed_config.diff'
* Thu Nov 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- prevent the use of which in the boot code
* use type -p instead and provide a function called lookup()
* Thu Nov 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setup of /boot/efi directory
* instead of checking for boot/efi check for the label EFI
in the kiwi_JumpPart partition
* even without a seperate boot partition there might be a
an EFI partition which should be added into fstab
* Thu Nov 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed KIWIIsoLinux genisoimage paramter list
* if createLegacySortFile does not return a sort file the
option -sort should also not be part of the commandline

* Mon Nov 18 2013 - cshorler@googlemail.com
- add default gfxmode for GRUB2 if no vga mode was set
* Mon Nov 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed gfxmode/gfxpayload setup in kiwi grub2 setup
* it's possible to set vga="0x<kernel-vesa-mode" in the kiwi
XML description. If grub2 was used as bootloader the information
was incorrectly transfered into gfxmode and gfxpayload values
in the grub.cfg. In addition the values were not handed over
to the initrd and the file /etc/default/grub. All this is
fixed now
* Mon Nov 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed company name in analyse report page
* Fri Nov 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.06.06 released
* Thu Nov 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- enhance pxeSetupDownloadServer
* if the image download server ip is not configured by $kiwiserver
the function now also checks for the contents of the $ip variable
which exists if pxelinux booted the kernel with 'IPAPPEND 1'
only if we did not get information from $ip the default name
tftp.$DOMAIN applies as it was before
* Wed Nov 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed broken symlink due to move of results from intermediate
build directory to final result directory
* Wed Nov 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use ovftool to create an ova format/archive
* unfortunately only ovftool supports the full featureset
e.g streamOptimized images
* added a runtime check to search for ovftool if the
format="ova" is requested
* Wed Nov 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- removed support for controller="scsi" in KIWIImageFormat
and adapted the runtime checker as well as the unit test
* Wed Nov 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update all image descriptions to schema version 5.9
* Wed Nov 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update kiwi schema to version 5.9
* removed scsi as allowed value from vmdisk controller attribute
* Wed Nov 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added new xsl stylesheet 5.8 -> 5.9
* the controller type 'scsi' does not exist for VMware.
lsilogic and buslogic define scsi controllers. Thus this
attribute value is moved back to the default 'ide' value
Using new controller types requires a specific version of
qemu-img which means the only safe translation is back to
ide
* Wed Nov 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed OVF file diskname: file has to be the .vmdk
in reference and not the .ovf
* Tue Nov 12 2013 - cshorler@googlemail.com
- make sure etc/sysconfig directory exists before temporary
copying the proxy configuration into the chroot
* Mon Nov 11 2013 - cshorler@googlemail.com
- fixed nested File::Find method fixupLinks in cloneImage
* entities found in $File::Find::name always exists, thus it's
not needed to check their existence
* moved the code searching for links with relative pointer
into a perl closure method named findLinksRelative
* moved the code fixing broken relative links into its
own code block
* Mon Nov 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of rpmsort cache data in KIWIAnalyseManagedSoftware
* the data was stored as reference but the reference
was changed during the process
* Mon Nov 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't remove the satsolver cache when running kiwi --describe
* Mon Nov 11 2013 - ms@suse.de

- fixed createDatabaseDump to force compression of database
dump even if there is an older dump available
* Mon Nov 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- replaced static links by relative ones in the custom data report
* this should allow to access the report in a different
directory than the default one
* Mon Nov 11 2013 - Kanstantsin_Shautsou@epam.com
- if format is set to ovf or ova it makes sense to create the
standard VMware machine config file (.vmx) too
- rename log message from "Starting" to "Creating"
* Sun Nov 10 2013 - cshorler@googlemail.com
- added missing gfxmenu module for grub2
* This prevents the default boot screen to show a broken menu
* Sun Nov 10 2013 - cshorler@googlemail.com
- fixed temporary setup of DNS/proxy if cache is used
* the code returned before we could copy the appropriate files
from the host to the chroot tree if in cache mode
* Sun Nov 10 2013 - cshorler@googlemail.com
- fixed cloneImage function
* if there are symlinks pointing to a relative destination
we fixup the link still pointing to the right location
with regards to the new origen of the cloned description
* Sat Nov 09 2013 - cshorler@googlemail.com
- fixed openSUSE 13.1 boot descriptions
* the default repo setup pointed to 12.3, but should point to 13.1
This is just for completeness and does not hurt because the repo
setup for the boot image is inherited by the repo setup from the
system image. But for standalone boot image builds it's corrected
now
- arm: fixed openSUSE 13.1 JeOS motd file
* printed some old information about 12.3
* Sat Nov 09 2013 - cshorler@googlemail.com
- fixed kiwi --init-cache to find the required typeinfo

* Sat Nov 09 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- partial fix for initrd creation for EC2 images
+ With the latest release of mkinitrd the multipath.sh script
no longer exists. We need to check for it's precense before moving it

* call qemu-img convert with correct adapter_type option
and check if the installed qemu-img suports the option
* write correct virtualDev entry for VMware machine setup
* Thu Nov 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file (bnc #845853)
* the PreReq's for kiwi-pxeboot were missing the shadow tools
this is needed because the %%post of kiwi-pxeboot checks for the
user and group tftp and requires the tools useradd/groupadd to
be installed at that time already
* Wed Nov 06 2013 - Kanstantsin_Shautsou@epam.com
- added support to specify vmdk diskmode in <machine> section
* monolithicSparse

- branched off kiwi for openSUSE 13.1
* therefore rebuild documentation for next cycle starting at 5.06
* Mon Nov 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- follow up fix to prevent call of setupBootPartition (bnc #847893)
* if the hybrid RW partition can't be created HYBRID_RW will be
unset, thus setupBootPartition would be called but we are still
in a hybrid mode. In order to make that clear a new variable
skipSetupBootPartition is set to handle all cases
* Mon Nov 04 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove %%arch as alowed value for the arch attribute of a <machine> element
+ OBS does not subsitutue this use of %%arch
+ kiwi has no substitution mechanism
- Implement consistency check for ovf type
+ when the format of the <type> is specified as ovf the ovftype
attribute of the <machine> element must be set
* Mon Nov 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed system to boot data inheritance:
* make sure the value for rpm-check-signatures is moved
* Mon Nov 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed zypper package manager backend:
* make sure the value for rpm-check-signatures is used
* Mon Nov 04 2013 - ms@suse.de

* --recycle-root doesn't take an argument
* Mon Nov 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.44 released
* Mon Nov 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed unit test data: patternTattrConsInvalid_2.xml
* both profiles my-first and my-second were invalid. this caused
either the one or the other error message which could lead to
a successful or failed test result. I changed the test data to
be clear on the error condition
* Fri Nov 01 2013 - dvaleev@suse.de
- print nicer KIWICollect messages
* round minutes to integer
* Thu Oct 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.43 released
* Thu Oct 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed __checkPatternTypeAttrConsistent test
* the test checks for inconsistent patternType combinations
in specified profile groups incl. the default group.
- changed the function getInstallOption() to decide for the
patternType with the highest priority according to the
selected profile group(s). The behavior before was to ignore
the patternType if it was not the same value over all selected
packages sections. This is imho too restrictive
- update the unit tests accordingly
* Thu Oct 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- on arm uboot can only boot with a uImage or a zImage
thus in case of the zImage kiwi should make use of it
* Thu Oct 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- KIWIAnalyse: added function importDatabases() to KIWIConfig.sh
in order to allow the import of complete database sets. This is
the counterpart for the recently added KIWIAnalyseCustomData
function createDatabaseDump()
- the config.sh created by KIWIAnalyse will automatically add an
entry to call this function to allow the reimport of the databases
during image creation
* Thu Oct 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- KIWIAnalyse: use `mysqladmin ping` instead of a
netstat+grep to check for running mysql database
* Thu Oct 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- KIWIAnalyse: store exported dbs in <template>/root/var/cache/dbs
so they will be imported automatically
* Thu Oct 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed postprocessing modes
* an empty configuration directory was passed
* Thu Oct 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed usage information about --check-kernel option
* Thu Oct 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make the checkKernel() function a real check and don't
try to fix a detected kernel inconsistency. The check
for the kernel consistency between the system image and
the initrd still needs activation via the commandline
option --check-kernel
* Thu Oct 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in openSUSE 12.3 JeOS for arm
* wrong reference to boot image description
* Wed Oct 30 2013 - ms@suse.de

- fixed suse-12.3-JeOS for arm
* insserv and pwdutils does not exist/renamed
* update repo paths
* Wed Oct 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added origenFlavour profile in 12.3 JeOS for arm
* Wed Oct 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- Revert "added origenFlavour profile in 13.1 JeOS for arm"
* this was for the wrong distribution, there is no dtb for
the Exynos 4210 CPU on 13.1, thus we can only use the
kernel with the old board descriptions.
This reverts commit 4c9dc8bb29
* Wed Oct 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added origenFlavour profile in 13.1 JeOS for arm
* Wed Oct 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- follow up fix for the kernel search on arm
* even if a zImage exists we use the vmlinux.gz like mkinitrd
on arm does it at the moment. If this changes in the future
that part in kiwi needs adaption as well
* added a warning message to the log if the kernel
mapping has failed
* Tue Oct 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- prefer the vmlinux-$VERSION.gz kernel file on arm
* Tue Oct 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed partition alignment for image and repartitioning
* images with more than one partition are not aligned
for optimal performance except for the first partition
This patch fixes this and also make sure the repartition
code creates an aligned table too
* Tue Oct 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed arm openSUSE 13.1 JeOS image description
+ some packages e.g insserv does not exist anymore
+ update kernel used for panda and beagle boards
+ update buildservice repository paths
* Mon Oct 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed augeas import:
* check for unknown escape sequences in the value
* make sure values are embedded in a single pair of "..."
* Mon Oct 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in setupAugeasImport
* Mon Oct 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed output path in createDatabaseDump
* Mon Oct 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- build a more self explaining target database export
file name in the createDatabaseDump function
* Mon Oct 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed .locale helper tool to operate on real .po changes only
* Mon Oct 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- add method createDatabaseDump() to KIWIAnalyseCustomData to
check for running db's and if they are available try to export
the entire content. Right now only Mysql is supported
* Mon Oct 28 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- added live ISO image example for 13.1
* Fri Oct 25 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.41 released
* Fri Oct 25 2013 - ms@suse.de
- deactivate the use of lxc to run custom scripts (bnc #845617)
* some tools e.g groupadd requires access to subsystems like PAM
which did not work inside the lxc container because the required
precondititions were not added while starting the container.
Thus only simple scripts not accessing PAM, udev and other
subsystems will work. In addition to that the environment the
lxc container itself is started often does not provide the
required subsystems e.g support for cgroups. All in all there
are more problems than solutions with this concept which is
the reason why I disable it for now
* Thu Oct 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.40 released
* Thu Oct 24 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix use of uninitialized variable
* Wed Oct 23 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add the live USB stick example for openSUSE 13.1
- adjust verification for firstboot logic install check
+ in 13.1 YaST has been converted to Ruby and firstboot is now a
systemd service, thus we need to check for the new implementations
as well
- eject conflicts with util-linux in 13.1, remove it from oemboot image
* Wed Oct 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed postprocessing modes
* e.g the --installstick mode did not work because an XML
object was created before the preconditions to do that
were fulfilled
* Tue Oct 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.39 released
* Mon Oct 21 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix setup of target image
+ at present the build image settings for keymap, timezone and other
configuration settings are changed instead of applying the settings
to the target image. This fix addresses this bug.
* Mon Oct 21 2013 - adrian@suse.de
- do not ignore addarch, if also the base architecture got added
* Mon Oct 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added custom bootkernel profile (bnc #846068)
* with the bootkernel="custom" profile one can prevent the
installation of a kernel in the kiwi boot image (initrd)
This makes sense if a non profiled kernel or a specific
version of a kernel is used as part of the system image
XML description. Examples:
<type ... bootkernel="custom"/>
==> version pinned kernel:
<package name="kernel-default-3.7.10-1.16.1" bootinclude="true"/>
==> non profiled/custom kernel:
<package name="kernel-bob" bootinclude="true"/>
If the custom bootkernel attribute is used it's required to
mark the kernel in the system image XML with bootinclude="true"
If this is not done the initrd will not have a kernel/modules
which is in most cases unwanted
* Sat Oct 19 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix repository image inclusion behavior
+ adding imageinclude=true did not have the desirec effect of adding the
specified repo to the image permanently. This changes fixes this
problem
* Fri Oct 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.38 released
* Fri Oct 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file for kiwi-pxeboot sub-package (bnc #845853)
* kiwi-pxeboot creates files which belongs to user/group = tftp
but it might be the case that the user/group does not exists
Thus this patch as a %%pre section taking care for this
* Thu Oct 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- revert accidentally added test systemdisk section in
suse-12.3-JeOS XML description
* Thu Oct 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed missing mount and fstab entry for allfree volume
* the volume flagged with freespace="all" was ignored in the
mount and fstab setup code
* Thu Oct 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed partids for LVM setup:
* The value kiwi_RootPart must always be a number, whereas
in case of LVM we also provide kiwi_RootPartVol which takes
the name of the root volume
* Thu Oct 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added better information about disk Volumes
* Thu Oct 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- allow standalone building of initrd images like in older version
* The image type 'cpio' was handled as initrd image type but
newer versions of kiwi just use it as an archive type for the
system image. This is a bad incompatibility and also prevents
us from just building kiwi initrd images
* Wed Oct 16 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix cut and paste error of comment in the oem-recovery-part-size element
definition
+ comment is displayed in the generated doc and was misleading
- add unit test for {g,s}etAtaRaidScan method on OEMConfig class
- add unit test for {g,s}setRecoveryPartSize method on OEMConfig class
- fix bug regarding oem_recoveryPartSize
+ the value was never set as member variable thus the get method
always returned <undef>
- fix naming inconsistency between the get and set method for the
recovery partition size
- add value check for the recovery partition ID
+ must be a 2 digit hex value
+ also add unit test for this verification
* Tue Oct 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed grub2 recovery menu entry
* in EFI mode chainloading is not possible, thus we use grub2
to load the loader configuration from the recovery partition
this requires at least a non destructed EFI boot partition
* Tue Oct 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed partition to search for kiwi initrd in recovery setup
* Tue Oct 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- apply changes from commit: d9d0f3bee also to rhel-repart

- fixed OEM repart/install code for EFI images
* fixed creation of etc/grub.d/40_custom script to let
grub2-mkconfig correctly create the Recovery menu entry
* fixed partition ID's for repart operation. instead
of incrementing kiwi_BootPart we should use the correct
values for root,read-only,read-write,lvm as they are
written into config.partids
* Mon Oct 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- rebuild schema from rnc to rng
* Mon Oct 14 2013 - mmarek@suse.cz

- fixed project package tools:
* instead of removing the .git directory when generating
the tarball for the package, use tar's --exclude option
* Mon Oct 14 2013 - mmarek@suse.cz
- Do not require graphical grub data for setting up the recovery
data because e.g SLE11 does not provide this data
* Sat Oct 12 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add consistency check, the version element is required
+ bad things will happen in the code if there is no version
we assumed the version is always present in many places in the
code
- expand the validator unit tests
- add a trigger to rnu XML and XML Validator tests when the schema changes
* Fri Oct 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.37 released
* Fri Oct 11 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement consistency check for install media (bnc #845490)
+ using installstick="true" and hybrid="true" is inconsistent and
will generate an error during XML verification
* Thu Oct 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed installstick image boot code:
* there was a name conflict in the config.partids information
actually we have to distinguish between the image root part
and the install root part of the stick disk layout. That's
why I introduced a kiwi_InstallRootPart variable to make
that clear
* Thu Oct 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed netboot setupNetwork code
* variable prefer_iface is local but used globally
* variable DHCPCD_STARTED needs to be initialized with an
empty string to avoid improper use
* handle prefer_iface as array because it was assigned
from array ${dev_list[*]}
* Thu Oct 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Thu Oct 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: fixed opensusePattern vs. namedCollection
* Thu Oct 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved __checkType function into the global space (checkType)
- fixed checkType function and set an isolinux compliant
bootloader if the user requested a hybrid setup for any
other than the iso image type
- make sure checkType is also called in KIWIBoot because this
module reads the image description again from scratch which
is needed to support postprocessing modes e.g --bootvm
* Wed Oct 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed call of augtool print command in __populateCustomFiles
* missing / in files source path
* Wed Oct 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.36 released
* Wed Oct 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed iso hybrid partition table for 32bit live iso images
* if firmware="bios" is set the offset and table setup was
incomplete, which results in a broken hybrid persistent
partition if the iso was used as disk on e.g a USB stick
This fixes (bnc #841392)
- fixed KIWICollect::addToReportFile function
* perlcritic reports no return value set for this function
* Tue Oct 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file (bnc #844538):
* missing obsolete information for old package kiwi-desc-xenboot
* Mon Oct 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed writing preferences data from the system to the boot image
* getPreferences returns a new KIWIXMLPreferenceData object
containing combined information. Thus it's required to set
the changed object back into the KIWIXML space
* Sun Oct 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- do not filter out packages marked for deletion prior to the
installation of these packages. If one don't want to install
a package it sould simply not be part of the packages list.
But the reason for the delete list was to be able to remove
packages installed but unwanted e.g by a pattern or by an
invalid/unneeded requirement
* Wed Oct 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- protect packages from being deleted if they are explicitly
stated to become installed by a bootinclude attribute
* Tue Oct 01 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update false positive list in KIWIAnalyse.skip
* Tue Oct 01 2013 - ms@suse.de

- remove pmtools package from the delete section of the
oemboot/suse-SLE descriptions
* Tue Oct 01 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in function name, duplicate 'Boot' in name
* Fri Sep 27 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.35 released
* Fri Sep 27 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't call setupBootPartition if HYBRID_RW is set (bnc #827520)
* hybrid iso images contain a partition table written by isohybrid
if such an iso is dumped on a disk and used in hybrid persistent
mode we have to prevent the setup of the boot partition because
there is no real boot partition in hybrid mode
* Thu Sep 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed code block running with imageinclude="true"
* in case the repo already exists, kiwi just updates the path
with regards to chroot/non-chroot calls. In that case the
imageinclude should not add a repo which is already there
* Tue Sep 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.34 released
* Mon Sep 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- improvements to KIWIAnalyse:
* move KIWIAnalyse.txt to KIWIAnalyse.systems, stores system ID's
* add KIWIAnalyse.skip, provides exception list for false positives
* fix creation of custom tree, don't create empty directories
* fix handling of progress for empty lists, division by zero
* Mon Sep 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file requires:
* the new KIWIAnalyse modules requires git to apply version
control to the result of the created system description
* Mon Sep 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed createHybridPersistent:
* the function has to return if it detects that persistent writing
is not possible and leave the block without setting HYBRID_RW
that fixes (bnc #841662)
* Thu Sep 19 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure the repo cache is cleared before running
a new analayse process
* Thu Sep 19 2013 - ms@suse.de
- enhance KIWIAnalyseReport:
find if current active kernel version doesn't match any
installed package and put that information in the report
* Thu Sep 19 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed reading cache in KIWIAnalyse
* Thu Sep 19 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed base path setup in __populateCustomFiles
* use of uninitialized value after handling that case
* Thu Sep 19 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed bios partition type setup:
* upstream parted supports 'set partition flag state' whereas
flag can't be a hex id as we need it when setting e.g a
fat partition type. Thus we use the suse extension as fallback
which allows to set: 'set partition type hexid'
* Wed Sep 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added some notes in the KIWIAnalyse code:
* it would be good to move packagemanager related calls into the
KIWIManager abstraction class and support more than only zypper
* Wed Sep 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure zypper calls runs in POSIX locale
* Tue Sep 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- allow bootinclude to be processed for bootstrap packages too
* Tue Sep 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- add more information to assert_array_equal in
unit testing framework
* Tue Sep 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- split code in KIWIMigrate into classes:
* KIWIAnalyse
* KIWIAnalyseCustomData
* KIWIAnalyseManagedSoftware
* KIWIAnalyseReport
* KIWIAnalyseTemplate
* Fri Sep 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.33 released
* Fri Sep 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed cache handler in KIWIMigrate
* if cache is invalid it's a bad idea to store the path to the old cache
* Fri Sep 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- follow up fix for the IFS restore in kernelCheck function
The local scope of IFS is visible to functions called from
inside this block. Thus localizing IFS does not help, we have
to reset the value inside the function (bnc #838921)
* Fri Sep 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation, smoother pictures
* Fri Sep 13 2013 - ms@suse.de

- DB: update documentation about kiwi's caching system
* Fri Sep 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Fri Sep 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for custom LVM volume names (bnc #815204)
* There is now an additional and optional attribute 'mountpoint'
in the volume section. If a mountpoint information is provided
the name given in the 'name' attribute can be any name according
to the LVM logical volume name conventions. Example:
<volume name="bob" mountpoint="tmp"/>
this will create the logical volume 'bob' mounted to /tmp.
If no mountpoint information is given the information in name
is handled as before which means it's a path and a name
information. Example:
<volume name="tmp"/>
this will create the logival volume 'LVtmp' mounted to /tmp.
Thus this feature is fully backward compatible. With this
implementation we solved one item on the feedback list.
* Fri Sep 13 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove the superfluous getPriority method in the child class
+ the parent calss has the exact same implementation
* Fri Sep 13 2013 - ms@suse.de

* Fixed kiwi, oem, ... spelling
* Thu Sep 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- improved caching in KIWIMigrate
* store rpm based data, and re-use by the md5 sum of the database
* added wait indicator for processing of files
- update information about installed kernel and how to use
another than the default kernel for the image
- add ruby/gems to the ignore path, that's because we already
provide gem information in the report by using gem directly
thus the compiled gem data which is not part of the gem
package taints the list of unmanaged data
* Wed Sep 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed detection of buildservice repos in KIWIMigrate
* Wed Sep 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make checking for empty directories fast in KIWIMigrate
* Wed Sep 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- add alternative 'kiwi --describe' option
* update kiwi usage message. Don't talk about 'migration'
Be more generic and talk about 'analyse & description'
because that's in fact what the code does. migration is
just one path one can perform.
* Wed Sep 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Wed Sep 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation and man pages for KIWIMigrate
* Wed Sep 11 2013 - ms@suse.de

- added support for git transaction log in KIWIMigrate
* Wed Sep 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for detecting buildservice repos in KIWIMigrate
* Tue Sep 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- follow up patch for setting systemIntegrity for netboot
deployments into a ramdisk. Along with systemIntegrity the
partition code has to check for haveRamDisk too (bnc #839157)
* Tue Sep 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- follow up patch for fetchFile() function. handling of
uncompressed value was broken due to the changes to support
the 'xz' compression (bnc #787400)
* Tue Sep 10 2013 - adrian@suse.de
- add .packages support for product media
* I am not proud of this code, but since we may need to backport it,
it has to be minimal invasive. A general rework is needed anyway
* Tue Sep 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- some improvements to the migration module
* split D3 visualisation parts into extra files
* added information about binary vs. text data (ELF header only)
* added configuration information from augeas
* update logo
* Mon Sep 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure systemIntegrity is set correctly to 'clean' for
netboot deployments into a ramdisk (bnc #839157)
* Mon Sep 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure IFS change in kernelCheck function will be
applied only in local scope (bnc #838921)
* Mon Sep 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for augeas into kiwi. The new function
setupAugeasImport is called if the following file exists
as part of the kiwi image description:
config-augeas.xml
The contents of this file follows the schema and format as
it is provided by augeas. For an example check the output
of the command: 'augtool dump-xml /files/*'. As example one
can add another tty to /etc/securetty as follows:
<augeas match="/files/*">
<node label="etc" path="/files/etc">
<node label="securetty">
<node label="8">
<value>tty8</value>
</node>
</node>
</node>
</augeas>
kiwi will make use of this feature in the migration module
when it populates the current configuration of the system
augeas will be used instead of a plain copy of the config
file
* Fri Sep 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.32 released
* Thu Sep 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of overlay root files in migration mode
* if the creation of a hardlink is not possible due to cross
device references e.g /tmp not on the same device, we create
a symbolic link instead.
* Thu Sep 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed packages/collection setup in migration module
* Thu Sep 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use the XML writer based on a template for the migration code
* /usr/share/kiwi/modules/KIWIMigrate.kiwi forms the template
* the migration reads in the template and operates on the
xml object to add data. At the end writeXML() creates the
new description file
* Thu Sep 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed some typos in imageConfig comment block
* Wed Sep 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added KIWIMigrate.kiwi template file for later use
in KIWIMigrate when the XML writer will be used there
* Tue Sep 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed writeXML
* make sure __collectXMLListData works correctly with replaces data
* make sure KIWIXMLPackageData::getXMLElement handle 'none'
value in replace data correctly
* Tue Sep 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed writeXML
* don't write duplicate package entries
* fixed target file setup in tests/writeTester
* Mon Sep 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- further enhance indent helper:
* make sure kiwi.pl get the right permissions back after the change
* make sure the xsl pretty printer also uses spaces and not tabs
* make sure the schema RNG format is rebuild
* Mon Sep 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support to specify the size of the recovery partition
<oem-recovery-part-size>integer-value</oem-recovery-part-size>
The specified size is ignored if it is too small according to
the minimum required size. In this case a warning message is
printed to the /var/log/boot.kiwi file on first deployment.
This implements enhancement (bnc #836657)
* Mon Sep 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update .indent helper to check config.xml and *.rnc files too
* Fri Aug 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed unit tests due to changed message layout in c:d8405713
* Fri Aug 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- prepare fetchFile() function to be able to handle 'xz'
compressed files as well as 'gzip' compressed files. This
is related to the enhancement report in (bnc #787400)
* Fri Aug 30 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fixed version number for openSUSE 13.1 boot images
- added cdrkit-cdrtools-compat package for the openSUSE 13.1
isoboot boot description to get isoinfo back into the path
* Thu Aug 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in message output, surplus '\n' prior to status flag
* Thu Aug 29 2013 - ms@suse.de

* Thu Aug 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- removed obsolete modules/.test directory including
unused and broken unit tests
* Thu Aug 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.31 released
* Wed Aug 28 2013 - adrian@suse.de
- add also noarch and armv6hl architectures
* Wed Aug 28 2013 - adrian@suse.de
- add armv7hl and aarch64 as supported architectures
* Tue Aug 27 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make the partition based installation smarter (bnc #836780)
* the current implementation shows a list of partitions to select
if there is a choice. however this could be done better by
taking the size, partid and fs-label information into account.
With this patch the user only has to choose a partition if there
is really more than one partition which matches the size and
partid and filesystem label constraints
* Tue Aug 27 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of EFI capable USB stick install images
* the code which makes use of the bios_grub flag was not applied there
* Tue Aug 27 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.30 released
* Tue Aug 27 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value $oem{"kiwi_oemswap"}
in KIWIProfileFile.pm
* Mon Aug 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- get the partition ID check back in OEMFindPartitions (bnc #836052)
* if in oem-partition-install mode the function checked suitable
partitions only by its size but not by its partition id. I had
removed the support for it because the GPT doesn't have partition
hex id's like the MBR table has it. But it has turned out this
was a useful check. Thus I added it back by mapping GPT partition
names to MBR hex id's. When installing a kiwi EFI image via the
partition install mode it's important to name the partitions
on the installation disk in the same way as it's done in the
image. This is a small requirement for partition based EFI image
installations.
* Mon Aug 26 2013 - adrian@suse.de
- fixed kiwi instsource plugins:
* added UEFI boot support
* adapt to new data structure, deleting getImageTypeAndAttributes_legacy
* Mon Aug 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added optional type attribute <type ... zfsoptions=... />
* the attribute value can be a comma separated list of ZFS
options used on creation time of the ZFS pool. Thus the
result are 'zfs set $option kiwipool' calls which allows
to set pool attributes like compression and others
* Mon Aug 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved __quote function to the correct name space. It was
formerly used as part of KIWIXML but due to the restructuring
it's required in KIWIProfileFile now

specified profile(s) exists
* Fri Aug 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed root=... setup if zfs is used, stay compatible with dracut
* Fri Aug 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure bootprofile 'default' is set if no other boot
profile was specified
* Fri Aug 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added KIWIURL::__realPath() helper function (bnc #836053):
* the function translates existing local paths to its real
path including collapse of path spec like /foo/../quux
* Fri Aug 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- changed __getBootSize() helper to allow a min boot
partition size of 100 MB
* Thu Aug 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed split creation, wrong use of KIWIXMLSplitData methods
* Thu Aug 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- finished XML restructuring and moved all XML handling
into the new data structure. The code is now legacy code
free. With the new internal structure in place data can
also fly in from other protocols which might be needed
in the future for e.g configuration management, CIM,
cfengine
* Thu Aug 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved product/instsource handling to the new data structure.
The following legacy function were removed:

* getSplitPersistentExceptions_legacy
* getSplitPersistentFiles_legacy
* getSplitTempExceptions_legacy
* getSplitTempFiles_legacy
* Wed Aug 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- deleted writeXMLDescription_legacy
* the old data structure allowed to write changes applied to the
XML objects to be written persistently. With the new data
structure the XML object has a method writeXML which allows
to write the current data set in the XML format. The work
on the XML writer is not yet finished. Thus the support for
writing changes back to the XML will be added back at a later
point in time.
* Tue Aug 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved <size> handling over to the new data structure
* deleted: getImageSize_legacy

and use the getPreferences() -> getDefaultRoot() access method
The following legacy function were removed:
* getImageDefaultDestination_legacy
* getImageDefaultRoot_legacy
* __getPreferencesNodeByTagName
* Thu Aug 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed kiwi script calls if they are done contained via lxc
the callContained() function was changed to use the lxc-start
tool to run the scripts instead of wrapping around lxc-init
and calling lxc-execute (bnc #832337)
* Wed Aug 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved handling of image data into the new data structure
the following legacy function was deleted:

* __setOEMOptionsElement
* Tue Aug 13 2013 - dmueller@suse.com
- fixed sat solver support for armv6l
* the system (uname) might reports armv6l but the package meta
data stores armv6hl for both armv6l and armv6hl cpu types. In
order to set the right arch to the sat pool the arch name has
to be adapted in this case
- fixed the spec file setup for the myarch variable for
armv6l/armv6hl. The script generating the requires list for the
auto generated *boot-requires packages only deals with the arch

- make KIWICache code legacy free
* Mon Aug 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- create a helper function __updateProfileEnvironment in the
KIWIImageCreator code to reduce code duplication
- prepareBootImage and createBootImage always run in a sequence
thus it's not required to read in the boot image description
twice. The XML description for the boot (initrd) image is now
read in once in boot prepare and just re-used next in the boot
create step. This also simplifies the handling of inherited
data from the system into the boot image
* Sun Aug 11 2013 - ms@suse.de

+ getTypeSpecificPackageList_legacy
+ getInstallList_legacy
* Thu Aug 08 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- new tests to cover the newly implemented methods related to VHD tagging
* Wed Aug 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- remove obsolete kiwi_fixedpackbootincludes from .profile env
* this information was used in the functions basePackBootIncludes
and baseUnpackBootIncludes to preserve boot included data from
being removed by kiwi's initrd strip processing. With the new
system based and the <strip> section and also documented in:
http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/kiwi/doc/#sec.bootcustomization
these functions became obsolete.
* Wed Aug 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getDomain() call on undefined object reference
* Tue Aug 06 2013 - ms@suse.de

* Tue Aug 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update openSUSE 12.3 JeOS
* make sure kernel-desktop is not installed by default
if the xen profile is active. For some strange reason
zypper always installs kernel-desktop which is unwanted
* Tue Aug 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup KIWIImageFormat class:
* make the format code legacy code free
* Tue Aug 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added .releasetags helper script to find release commits
* Tue Aug 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added disk tagging support for Windows Azure (bnc #815809)
* added function writeVHDTag called in createVHDSubFormatFixed
* added <type> attribute 'vhdfixedtag' to store the tag following
the pattern: "[0-9a-f]{8}-([0-9a-f]{4}-){3}[0-9a-f]{12}"
* Fri Aug 02 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Create KIWIXMLDefStripData object:
* encapsulate the KIWI defined default strip data
* Use the new object in the ImageCreator to update the
bootXML description accordingly plus some minor refactoring
to avoid code duplication for the bootXML update
* Implement unit tests
- Remove any knowledge of the default strip data from the
XML class implementations
* Sun Jul 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: added susesync for developer documentation
* Fri Jul 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved strip section handing into new data structure. The reading of
the default strip section data has been moved to the
prepare/createBootImage functions and is no longer part of the KIWIXML
constructor. The following legacy functions will be removed:
* removed __getStripDelete_legacy

- fixed use of uninitialized value $reqSize in addition
* Thu Jul 25 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- update EC2 example
+ it makes no sense to include plymouth, the branding of the boot
screens is not visible in a cloud image
* Wed Jul 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- get rid of the loader variable in the kernel commandline
kiwi stores this information as kiwi_bootloader variable in
the initrd if set as part of the <type>. if not set the arch
specific default applies
* Wed Jul 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- get rid of the VGROUP variable in the kernel commandline

* Wed Jul 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- s390: respect specified boottimeout for zipl.conf
* Wed Jul 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- one -x file check in suseActivateDefaultServices is enough
* Tue Jul 23 2013 - ms@suse.de

relative path is used in the kiwi create call
* Mon Jul 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- s390: update JeOS template description, repo setup for SP3
* Mon Jul 22 2013 - ms@suse.de

if the variable $loader is not set (bnc #829537)
* Mon Jul 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of mdadm.conf. The file is missing if the
original RAID setup is used without formatting (bnc #829504)
* Mon Jul 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- changed the code calling 'echo something >> file' to real
perl code opening and closing the file for appending data
including error checking
* Mon Jul 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't search for shell builtins like 'echo' by using
KIWILocator. With the last change from 'which' to 'type -p'
shell builtins will not be found anymore.
* Sat Jul 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed 32bit efi builds. the created efi binary should be
named bootx32.efi for this architecture
* Sat Jul 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update unit tests due to i586/i686 vs ix86 arch name change
* Sat Jul 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't turn arch name i686/i586 into combined ix86 name. This is
required with regards to the previous commit handling i586 and
i686 specific packages setup (bnc #829429)
* Sat Jul 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed boot image descriptions for 32bit x86 builds (bnc #829429)
* kernel-desktop doesn't exist for i586 anymore
* kernel-pae doesn't exist for i586 anymore
* don't use ix86 as arch statement because this doesn't allow
to distinguish between i686 and i586
* Wed Jul 17 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix up the live ISO example for openSUSE 12.3
+ changes in patterns and removal of SuSEconfig break the
existing example
* Tue Jul 16 2013 - dmueller@suse.com
- fixed editboot path conversion when it applies to the
working directory. The previous code change broke the
logic for relative paths matching the current dir
* Mon Jul 15 2013 - dmueller@suse.com
- fixed KIWILocator for openSUSE 13.1:
* various commands were moved to /usr/sbin and this path
is not in the search path for KIWILocator which results
in the locator code not being able to find them.
* Additionally the 'which' command got splitted into a
separate package. In order to simplify the backward
compatibility we decided to use 'type -p', which is a
a standard bash builtin
* Fri Jul 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- wait for udev to finish the event queue before killing the daemon
* Fri Jul 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.26 released
* Fri Jul 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file to match build requires with package requires
* Fri Jul 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed default bootloader selection for s390 architecture
* Thu Jul 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure setupBootLoaderGrub2() creates /boot/grub2/device.map
which is required for suse tools to work correctly
* Thu Jul 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed handling of bootincluded items:
* packages and archives marked as bootinclude have to
respect an optional arch setup like this example:
<package name="foo" bootinclude="true" arch="ix86"/>
* Thu Jul 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup getBootIncludePackages(), I thought comments and
variable names are misleading
* Thu Jul 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed initrd creation for ec2 images done with mkinitrd
* For EC2 images kiwi uses mkinitrd to create a targeted for EC2 initrd,
rather than the usual kiwi initial intrd that generates a new initrd
on firstboot. With SLE 11 SP3 mkinitrd got "smarter" to the
disadvantage of building an initrd on system A that is targeted for
system B. Therefore we were forced to create a so called "monster
initrd". This monster initrd include basically everything, hence the
name. While this in general is only a minor size concern in EC2 this
has the ill effect that the image will not boot. The reason for the
non booting image is the inclusion of multipath in the initrd.
This patch moves the 61-multipath.sh away for the call of mkinitrd
and put it back afterwards
* Wed Jul 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.25 released
* Wed Jul 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added build result meta data files
* each build now contains two additional files:
The .packages file which contains a list of all installed packages
The .verified file which contains the result of rpm -Va
These files are only created on rpm based systems and
should help to compare build results better
* Wed Jul 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- allow the function partedWrite() to return instead of a
rebootException on error and if the hybrid persistent feature
is activated. In this case we want to proceed with the boot
process but deactivate the persistent write feature
* Wed Jul 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure 'sg_inq' tool stays in the initrd, this is new
for udev in openSUSE 13.1
* Wed Jul 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.24 released
* Wed Jul 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- isoinfo moved to /usr/lib/genisoimage which is not a default
search path. Thus kiwi did not find the tool in openSUSE 13.1
with this fix kiwi looks up the binary in /usr/bin and in
/usr/lib/genisoimage
* Wed Jul 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- kiwi maps the arch name for intel 32bit to 'ix86' but many
image descriptions used the name 'i686' which was wrong.
This also fixed the 32bit live iso building because we
use arch specific efi packages for building them
* Mon Jul 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- explicitly set firmware to 'bios' for older live iso
image templates
* Mon Jul 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- return early in updatePartitionTable() if the image is a
hybrid iso containing a GPT
* Fri Jul 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- improve messages in loadNetworkCardS390 to be more clear
* Fri Jul 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- if processing of loadNetworkCardS390 was skipped by a flag
file the return value should be 1 not 0 to make sure we
don't proceed with other network functions
* Thu Jul 04 2013 - thardeck@suse.de
- prevent duplicates in resolv.conf managed by setupDNS
* if setupDNS is called multiple times it added the same
line again and again. This patch checks if the entry
exists before adding it
* Wed Jul 03 2013 - thardeck@suse.de
- s390: introduced new function loadNetworkCardS390
* allow preconfiguring of s390 network cards. The function checks
on a given host (DASD 191 in our case) for a parm file with the
name <LINUX_USER_ID>.PARM-S11. If it is found the parameters
normally read from the kernel cmdline are read from there and
exported. The exported data takes effect later to set up the
network with the setupNetworkInterfaceS390 function.
The check for the parm file can be deactivated by a one-time
flag file '/etc/deactivate_s390_network_config_from_dasd'
which is removed when found and evaluated
* Wed Jul 03 2013 - thardeck@suse.de
- extend includeKernelParameters to parse files
* before this patch only /proc/cmdline was read in
now an optional paramters allows to change this
* Wed Jul 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getRepos() in migration module to handle cd:// url types
correctly and in the same way like dvd:// url types
* Wed Jul 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value $reqSize in KIWIBoot
* Wed Jul 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't mount/umount the zfs pool let zpool import/export do it
* Tue Jul 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getOperatingSystemVersion() in the kiwi migration module
to check for baseversion in addition to the version element
* Tue Jul 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.23 released
* Tue Jul 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- follow up fix for parted invocation:
* I broke the index counter in the flag setup
* Tue Jul 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed pxePartitionInputGeneric():
* it's required to pass the partition ID when setting the partition type
* set lxboot instead of lxroot as partition name for the boot partition
- Unfortunately suse's parted doesn't understand the set call
'set ... swap on|off' even though the man page explicitly say so
thus I disabled this flag setup for now
* Tue Jul 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- removed use of grub2-efi for openSUSE 13.1, the package
was dropped and instead the following grub2 packaging
schema exists:
grub2 => grub tools
grub2-x86_64-efi => grub efi modules 64bit
grub2-i386-efi => grub efi modules 32bit
grub2-i386-pc => grub bios modules
* Tue Jul 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed return value of setupBTRFSSubVolumes if no volumes are configured
* Mon Jul 01 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed ec2 image md5 file creation
* after the ec2 format code has changed the contents of the
image it's required to rebuild the md5 sum
* Mon Jul 01 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.22 released
* Mon Jul 01 2013 - ms@suse.de
- switched from perl-Test-Unit to perl-Test-Unit-Lite
openSUSE 13.1 will not provide it anymore and also the
author of perl-Test-Unit recommended to switch to the
lite version: http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/Test-Unit
* Mon Jul 01 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed parted invocation:
* don't use the suse only extension which allows to set the
partition type by its hex ID, instead use the flags parted
natively supports
* Fri Jun 28 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix test in factory
+ fix logic error in XML processing, only mark the first type found
as the first type. While the flag indicator was set to 0 at the end of
the loop it was re-initialized with 1 at the beginning of the loop
- fix latent test bug
+ the order of calls was incorrect, thus when a file system tool
was not present the test reacted to the output from the test itself,
rather than from the code under test
* Fri Jun 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value in string eq at KIWIBoot.pm
* Fri Jun 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update rhel-06.0 JeOS template
* Fri Jun 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update suse-oem-preload example
* still use legacy grub not grub2 for the split example
because grub2 tools are not prepared for splitted up
root filesystem
* Fri Jun 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Fri Jun 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: fixed documentation: wrong kiwi commandline call
* Fri Jun 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value $record{"filesystem"} in
pattern match (m//) at KIWIXML.pm
* Thu Jun 27 2013 - ms@suse.de
- renew partition creation code in KIWIBoot. make it more
readable, reduce duplicate code and allow efi images without
forcing a boot partition
* Thu Jun 27 2013 - ms@suse.de
- zfs integration, make sure pool is exported on shutdown
* added /run/initramfs/shutdown script compatible to dracut see:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/dracut/dracut.html
section: #_dracut_on_shutdown for reference
* Wed Jun 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed installBootLoader() to allow skipping the installation
of the legacy bios grub2 loader if the system doesn't have the
bios grub2 modules installed but EFI is selected as firmware
* Wed Jun 26 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- improve EC2 initrd creation
* consider filesystem used, do not blindly assume ext3
* create a "monster" initrd to avoid the mkinitrd code from probing
into the device tree. The device tree is different on the build
machine than the target EC2 infrastructure
- exit early if no EC2 account credentials are defined
* if no credentials are defined we cannot create a bundle, exit after
initrd creation if no credentials exist
* Tue Jun 25 2013 - ms@suse.de
- keep a copy of the initrd in /run/initramfs to allow systemd
the jump back to the initrd. This is what a dracut initrd
would do as well and it also allows operations after the root
filesystem is umounted, e.g export the zfs pool
* Tue Jun 25 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update root=... variable correctly if zfs is used
* Mon Jun 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed editbootconfig/editbootinstall
* make sure these options are evaluated for the iso type too
* make sure absolute paths specified with commandline options
are checked and used if the file exists
* Mon Jun 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure FBOK also works if isconsole helper doesn't exist
* Mon Jun 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use zfs set mountpoint instead of mount --move
* Fri Jun 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.21 released
* Fri Jun 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed profile setup, don't set lvm variable if zfs or btrfs is used
* Thu Jun 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- mount EFI (fat) jump partition to /boot/efi and not boot/EFI
this is required to let suse tools work correctly (bnc #825221)
* Thu Jun 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed legacy BIOS/CSM support for oem images
* for some reason it's required to toggle the bios_grub flag
after install and repart of an oem image to fix the EFI boot
* use grub2-bios-setup directly instead of grub2-install because
grub2-install for an EFI image does not install anything
* Thu Jun 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- removed the four primary partition limit in the oem repart code
* Thu Jun 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed updatePartitionTable
* if the disk geometry has changed parted's fix is to write
a gpt_sync_mbr and destroy the gpt with it. In that case
kiwi has to rewrite the entire table with a new GPT label
This is related to (bnc #825221)
* Thu Jun 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added grub2-efi by default for openSUSE 12.3 JeOS template
* Wed Jun 19 2013 - ms@suse.de
- support <systemdisk> element for volume capable filesystems
* The kiwi supported filesystems btrfs and zfs support their
own volume management system. Because of this reason kiwi
evaluates the contents of the optional systemdisk volumes
for those filesystems by the native filesystem support and
not via LVM
* Wed Jun 19 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixes for the zfs support
* fixed handling of options in fsmountoptions passed to zpool
* added support for zfs resize in resizeFilesystem
* Wed Jun 19 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed regression in cylinder count detection in partedInit
the unix device name is required to parse the parted output
correctly but it might happen that the udev device name is
passed to the function
* Tue Jun 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suse-12.3/suse-ec2-guest template
* module-init-tools must be installed early as part of bootstrap
* kernel-ec2-base conflicts with kernel-ec2
* Mon Jun 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of iso persistent write partition (bnc #825172)
* fixed detection of cylinder count for isohybrid tables
* use isohybrid EFI bootable image by default, the partition
table written in this case allows standard partition device
(e.g /dev/sda1) for EFI and protective MBR thus works in both
worlds correctly and allows the creation of additional
partitions without problems
* don't use a fixed partition number, use the next one free
* always create a filesystem on the write partition with
the 'hybrid' label, even if the used overlay technique does
not urgently requires this. The label helps to identify the
write device on reboot
* use parted instead of fdisk. fdisk is not suitable when adding
partitions to the GPT, use kiwi's createPartitionerInput method
* fixed clicfs cow file check, check clicfs only if clicfs is
used, with the move to overlayfs there is a choice now
* search for persistent write partition by a blkid label search
and don't actually mount/umount the partition by label
* syslinux >= 4.04 is required to make all this work
correctly
* Fri Jun 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.20 released
* Thu Jun 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- return early from setupBootPartitionPXE if $imageRootDevice
is empty. This is the case when the netboot code checks the
update case
* Thu Jun 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved __checkPackageUnique() test from an error message to
a warning message. for the package manager this is not an
error condition too so it shouldn't be one for kiwi
* Thu Jun 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added isconsole helper program which checks the linux
console mode with the KDGETMODE ioctl. The program is
used in a new shell function named FBOK to check the
framebuffer/console capabilities better in order to
know if we can run fbiterm there or not
* Thu Jun 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- add elilo package to suse-SLE11-JeOS template for the uefi profiles
* Wed Jun 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- grub setup secure boot fixes:
* don't use insmod when in uefi secure boot mode
* don't use graphics, grub terminal is the console in this mode
* Tue Jun 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added setupBootPartitionPXE() to check and setup the boot
partition if any in case of a pxe image. The pxe image type
offers different boot scenarios than the other kiwi supported
image types. Thus it got its own function now and I could
also cleanup the pxe specific hacks we had in the base
setupBootPartition() function
* Tue Jun 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- Better integration of ZFS:
* moved from kiwiroot to kiwipool as zfs pool name
* evaluate fsmountoptions in zpool create
* added function setupZFSPoolVolumes() which creates the
zfs pool layout as suggested by the community
* Mon Jun 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make kiwi locale files available in vmx type images too
* Mon Jun 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- follow up fix for (bnc #823617)
* use message text from gettext catalog, i18n support
* use the dialog program to display the message if it is installed
as part of the image. We are already inside the running system
when this message might be displayed. If no dialog is installed
the message is just echo'ed on the console with a waitkey
exception
* Mon Jun 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update kiwi message text template kiwi.pot
* added new text informing the user for a failed bootloader setup
* Mon Jun 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- adapted LVM resize in oem partition install mode
according to the new @root volume setup
* Fri Jun 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- set GRUB_TERMINAL to console if no unicode font exists
* Fri Jun 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.19 released
* Fri Jun 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- if the bootloader can't be installed stop the boot process
and print a warning message to the user. Continue the boot
with a wait-for-key exception (bnc #823617)
* Thu Jun 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support to specify the size of the root volume.
With regards to the latest LVM consistency checks and adaptions
it was only possible to set one volume as the one taking the
rest space. This is either the root volume or the one flagged
as freespace="all". The possibility to setup a specific size
for the root volume and define another volume to take the rest
space was lost. With this commit you can now optionally define
the size of the root volume:
<volume name="@root" size="..." | freespace="..."/>
I also fixed the LVM setup when used with standard vmx virtual
disks and introduced new consistency checks e.g it doesn't
make sense to specify both size and freespace for one volume
* Tue Jun 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed fetchFile function. The variable $imageBlkSize is
not initialized, so it is better to use $chunk
* Tue Jun 04 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- write dvd/cd device entry to vmx file if the device ide is 0 (bnc 822185)
* Mon Jun 03 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)
* Mon Jun 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- improved error output of failed schema validation
* also check if the converted file can be created or not
* Mon Jun 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed 5.7 to 5.8 xsl stylesheet
* Mon Jun 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed evaluation of oem-ataraid-scan parameter
* Mon Jun 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed raw disk size calculation for split images
the boot partition size was not taken into account
* Sun Jun 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for zfs filesystem
* still problems with grub2-mkconfig, can't find canonical path
* Thu May 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- preserve haveged, related to (bnc #766720)
* Thu May 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed OEMRepartLVM creation of recovery partition
* the recovery partition eats up all free space but it should
use only the needed space to store the recovery data.
* Thu May 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup fix, use long option --file in grub search
instead of -f. That's consistent with the other grub
search calls
* Wed May 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure udev is installed and not udev-mini
* Wed May 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed search method used in grub.cfg
* we already moved to a uuid search in the early grub config
but in the main grub.cfg it was still a file search which
for some reasons is not as stable as the uuid search even
though I always find the file in the grub shell with ls
* Wed May 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure partition names are set back within the
oem repartition code
* Wed May 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed restore of boot partition
* if a different filesystem is used for the root and the boot
partition the problem appeared that the restore code uses
the filesystem type of the root partition for the restore
of the boot partition
* Wed May 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed names set for partitions in the GPT
* lxlvm, lxro, lxrw, lxroot, lxboot, legacy, UEFI are possible
* use 2MB for the legacy BIOS boot partition
* use 32MB for the UEFI fat partition
* really evalute return values from parted calls
* Tue May 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- removed experimental code from oem partition install block
if the partition table did not fit the need kiwi tried to
read-only mount the not yet installed image via a device
mapper snapshot and starts a X session with gparted to
make it easier for the user to setup the partition table.
The idea is nice but there are too many pitfalls and it
has been proven that it's better to offline prepare the
install target and not do that while inside a minimal
initrd system
* Tue May 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update XML description to new schema version
* Tue May 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update schema version from 5.7 to 5.8
* removed syncMBR attribute and create an xsl template for it
* Tue May 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- rewrite of the legacy BIOS/CSM support
* removed the syncMBR attribute from the XML schema
* changed the partition layout if firmware="efi" is specified.
A new partition with flag 'bios_grub' is created
* install the bios grub2 into the protective MBR which
exists according to the EFI spec if a GPT is used. The
special bios_grub flaged partition is required to allow
grub2 to install
* Fri May 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.18 released
* Fri May 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixes for the oem partition install mode:
* fixed check for amount of required partitions
* removed check for partid, does not work well with GPT
* fixed handling to be more generic and more independent
from the number of partitions in the image. Using the
filesystem label for selecting the partitions
- fixed runInteractive function and call params:
* don't use --stdout option for dialog, the written result
contains escape characters which confuses the code.
Instead use the default stderr channel where dialog
write its results
* Thu May 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed oem partition install mode. Use kpartx sync mode
to make sure devices are created on return of the call
* Thu May 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.17 released
* Wed May 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't repart the disk if less than 5MB are free
* Wed May 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed __checkLVMoemSizeSettings runtime check to work correctly
with the 'all' size specification
* Wed May 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- create global function dsize() which implements a size method
to calculate the size of all entities in a directory using the
du utility. du is called in two passes first in standard mode
counting disk usage and secondly in apparent mode also checking
for files with holes, fragmentation, indirect blocks and the
like. The biggest value is returned
* Tue May 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getInstSourceFile_legacy proxy setup:
* Thanks to Roman for a better regexp to get the proxy url
* prevent double inclusion of source locator
* Tue May 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suse-SLE11-JeOS template:
* the package grub2 was dropped for SLES-SP3 RC2
* Tue May 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed provideMediaLicense function. The url passed to the
getInstSourceFile_legacy contained a weird quoting
* Tue May 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.16 released
* Tue May 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getInstSourceFile_legacy to work correctly with proxy url's
the function cut the proxy data together with the information which
file to download and lost the file information
* Mon May 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed and optimized disk size calculation
* I had by default 40%% spare space on the root path which seems to
be too much, I have 20%% spare on each volume so I adapted that
to the root path as well.
* for the size estimation I now use the --apparent-size option in
du, which works better on files with holes and other or other
attributes which makes a difference when copying those data.
* Use a fixed value for the filesystem overhead each volume adds
to the disk. It is wrong to calculate and add a 20%% spare/volume
according to the size of the data in the volume to the disk,
because that value has already been taken into account with
the data spare calculation of the entire tree
* Mon May 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed __checkSystemDiskData runtime check to work correctly
with the 'all' size specification
* Sat May 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- restructure the use of prebuilt boot images
* adapt to new data structure thus we get rid of
checkAndSetupPrebuiltBootImage, getDefaultPrebuiltDir_legacy
* moved the logic for using a prebuilt version of a boot image
into the image creator code at the level of prepareBootImage
and createBootImage. This saves us one KIWIXML instance
* write one function createImageBootImage which does either
the prepare/create of the boot image or the use of an existing
prebuilt version. reduces some code duplication
* Sat May 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- adapt handling of bootkernel and bootprofile to new data structure
* there is still the function __populateDefaultProfiles_legacy
active and working but as soon as this code will go away the
transfer of the 'bootkernel' and 'bootprofile' attributes from
the system image into the boot image must follow the new data
structure which is based on get and set methods. Actually this
change also fixes the creation of the .profile kiwi_drivers
data because the code writing this is already based on the new
internal data structure and was missing the correct boot
profile information according to bootkernel and bootprofile
* Fri May 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed unaligned done flags
* Fri May 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup KIWIXML constructor
* The object variables $this->{buildType} and $this->{defaultType}
were used without any real context and are just a copy of
$imageType and $this->{selectedType}
* Fri May 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed __populateDriverInfo
* the function did not work correctly with the default profile
name. It uses the kiwi internal default profile name 'kiwi_default'
as real profile name and failed to use a section as default
section if the 'default' profile name was explicitly specified
like it is the case for the netboot boot image descriptions
* Fri May 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup code, prevent warning messages
* Fri May 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.15 released
* Fri May 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed structure of unpacked image tree when build with a cache
In order to avoid any conflicts concerning code operating on
the unpacked image tree it's required that the structure with
and without using a base cache image is the same
* Thu May 16 2013 - ms@suse.de

- v5.05.13 released
* Wed May 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixes for openSUSE 13.1 boot descriptions
* removed support for legacy grub
* add Mesa to delete list, for some reason that gets
pulled in now so we make sure it will be removed
* Wed May 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use xz compressor for live iso's based on overlayfs
* Wed May 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suseGFXBoot to work correctly if a two bootloader
setup is requested like it is the case with EFI capable
hybrid iso's. They use isolinux/gfxboot for the bios boot
case and grub2/grub2-branding for the EFI boot. Thus the
branding data needs to be handled for both and not only
one loader
* Wed May 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update default strip data to make the initrd a bit smaller
* remove /usr/share/grub2/backgrounds
* remove /usr/share/kbd
* remove /usr/lib/rpm
* Wed May 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- improved/changed image caching system
* switched from btrfs to overlayfs
* no loop mounts involved anymore, thus one layer less
* using native kernel overlay filesystem which performs
better than fuse based filesystems. btrfs has turned out
to work unstable when using loop devices and I could not
find a noticeable performance difference between
btrfs seed devices and the overlayfs upper/lower system
* no cache files but cache trees. full freedom for the user
to store those data on NFS, tmpfs, read-only locations...
* all package solver tasks now done via satsolver, solvables
will also be cached, no hacky ignore of packages in the
cache selection code
* following the keep it simple principle. the caching code
is now pretty straight forward
* Wed May 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Wed May 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, changed cache location
* Wed May 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- allow options for mksquashfs in createImageSquashFS
* Tue May 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- cache creation fixes:
* make sure there are no // in path spec of kiwi-root.cache
* ignore warning about missing auxiliary vector
* Tue May 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved default kiwi cache image location to /var/tmp/kiwicache
instead of /var/cache/kiwi. I found problems with bind mounts
into the same directory level
* Tue May 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.12 released
* 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)
* Fri May 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Fri May 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation
+ added some notes about new postHWdetect hook
+ added some notes about how software raid works in kiwi images
* Fri May 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- add hook entry point called: postHWdetect
* it allows to create/modify your own representation of the
deviceDisks array containing the found install disk devices
* Fri May 10 2013 - ms@suse.de
- allow to control whether kiwi searches for ata raid
controllers or not using the dmraid utility. This is
useful if an alternative control tool exists or the
raid should be ignored in any case:
<oem-ataraid-scan>true|false</oem-ataraid-scan>
By default the search and activation happens if dmraid
is installed. Implemented by user feedback
request (bnc #815206)
* Tue May 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed gettext import, the import was done prior to the
export of the LANG environment which caused some texts
to be in the wrong language
* Tue May 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure there is an active boot/root partition after
the oem code has repartitioned the disk
* Tue May 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- allow alternative grub2 search path lib/grub and share/grub
as it is packaged on Fedora
* Tue May 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setupLocale to work with locale list separated by ','
* Sun May 05 2013 - mkoegler@auto.tuwien.ac.at
- fixed CD/DVD boot of live iso images with activated hybridpersistent
option. kiwi will try to create the read-write partition but will
fail if this image is booted from a read-only medium. Thus it should
deactivate the hybridpersistent feature and proceed the boot
* Sun May 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value $key in KIWIManagerYum.pm
* Fri May 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.11 released
* Fri May 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed xen dom0 boot configuration
* the xen hypervisor was copied by kiwi as 'xen.gz.vmx' but the
configuration was written to search for xen.gz and failed
* Fri May 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't use the same inode count calculated for root for
the boot and/or efi filesystem
* Fri May 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed restore of boot partition in recovery/restore mode
for systems which uses an extra boot partition
* Thu May 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed activation of md-raid array if no repartition
process takes place
* Thu May 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed display of language selection dialog:
* if lang is _not_ set in /proc/cmdline we will now use the
first language set in kiwi_language for the boot image.
Thus a language selection dialog only appears if lang
is explicitly set to 'ask'
* Thu May 02 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setup of recovery in a raid image. The meta information
telling the system how big the recovery partition should be
is now stored in the kiwi initrd and not in the image as it
was before. According to this the broken mount code at that
place could be removed
* Tue Apr 30 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
* Tue Apr 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't show the same message twice
* Tue Apr 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- removed unneeded/wrong message
* Mon Apr 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- changed grub2 early boot script to search for the fs-uuid
of the boot filesystem in order to locate the config file
* Mon Apr 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Mon Apr 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update config.sh manual page, template fix
* Mon Apr 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use the new baseMount() function in all config.sh scripts
provided by the kiwi JeOS templates
* Mon Apr 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added function baseMount() to kiwi script functions. The
function mounts all useful kernel filesystems e.g proc, sysfs
devpts and binfmt_misc. if the kiwi scripts are called in a
contained environment like it is the case if lxc is installed
on the image build machine it is required to mount the base
filesystems as one of the first steps in the script
* Mon Apr 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure binfmt_misc is mounted in the context of config.sh
* Mon Apr 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- write etc/default/grub_installdevice, which is not required
by grub2 at all but by other tools in openSUSE
* Thu Apr 25 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- follow up to 3d0e1e944d169
+ add unit tests for skip-oem-verify
+ oem-skip-verify and oem-silent-verify are ambiguous if both are true
generate appropriate error
* Wed Apr 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.10 released
* Wed Apr 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added 'which' package to boot image descriptions for
openSUSE 13.1. which was formerly provided by util-linux
and is now an own package (bnc #816709)
* Wed Apr 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Wed Apr 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation
* Wed Apr 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of swapsize in oem size settings
+ the boot code adds the swap size as additional needed space
to the oem-systemsize value thus it's wrong to test if swap
fits into oem-systemsize. Robert had that before so this was
correct, sorry Rob for changing this
* Tue Apr 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.9 released
* Tue Apr 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Tue Apr 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- reflect the change in the oem-systemsize handling also
in the LVM repartition code
* Mon Apr 22 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- follow up to OEM setup consistency checking
+ separate the checks to allow unit testing and create unit tests
+ update the documentation to explain the meaning and interplay
between <oem-systemsize> and <systemdisk>
* Mon Apr 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed misleading warning message in __getBootSize().
if wanted and needed boot partition space is the same a
warning message was printed which is not useful
* Mon Apr 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed schema documentation:
+ if the size of a volume is set too small this is now treated
as an error and kiwi exits. formerly this was ignored and kiwi
used the value it calculated itself for the volume
* Mon Apr 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- with regards to (bnc #815200) following runtime checks were added
+ check if the specified system size is not smaller than the
sum of the specified partition/volume sizes
+ recommend to specify a swap size if swap is requested and a
specific system and or partition/volume size was specified
+ check if partition/volume path exists in the unpacked tree
+ check if size of partition/volume in the unpacked tree is smaller
than the requested partition/volume size
+ check if specified system size is not smaller than the overall
size of the unpacked tree
+ check if the calculated free space according to the requested
system size value and the current size of the unpacked tree is
big enough to resize the partitions/volumes to its requested
size
* Mon Apr 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file, the mysystems macro for openSUSE was broken
because it uses VER=1220 on a 12.3 system
* Sun Apr 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file, sync permissions with /srv/tftpboot
* 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
* Fri Apr 19 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- do not consider obsrun as a system group
* Thu Apr 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- allow to skip the md5 verification after image installation
of an oem image. This speeds up the deployment but should
not be de-activated for customer released images
<oem-skip-verify>true|false</oem-skip-verify>
Implemented by user feedback request (bnc #815199)
* Thu Apr 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- netboot: fixed conflicting use of global variables.
+ The function updateNeeded set among others the variable sum2
which is used later in another context in suse-linuxrc. At
that point it was expected that the variable is empty for
the first round in a loop but that's not true if updateNeeded
called before the loop sets the variable to some content. Thus
updateNeeded should handle variables used locally in the
function as real local variables
* Wed Apr 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- it does not make sense to specify '-i bytes-per-inode' in
combination with '-N number-of-inodes'. Thus only the number
of inodes is relevant as it's the result of the equation
inodes = size / ratio. It had no bad impact to specify
both -i and -N when creating the filesystem because mkfs.extX
takes the value of -N with the highest priority. Thus this
fix is just a cleanup of the mkfs.extX call
* Wed Apr 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setup of recovery boot data
+ the code there only uses the contents of the boot partition
if LVM was enabled. But correct would be to use the contents
of the boot partition if it exists and is not equal to the
root partition
* Tue Apr 16 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 Apr 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- add missing suseImportBuildKey call to templates
* Tue Apr 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suseImportBuildKey to also work with keys
present in /usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/keys/
* Tue Apr 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed check if repartition task can be done or not.
It's now based on free spaces vs. additional needed
space. Also provide better information about the sizes
if the repartition task can't be done
- fixed resize of LVM partition. It's important to add
the swap size to be part of the LVM resize because swap
is not an extra partition but a volume inside the vgroup
* Tue Apr 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo nomodeseet -> nomodeset
* Tue Apr 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed LVM resize of physical extents, pvresize works only
with unix kernel device names and doesn't like udev links
* Tue Apr 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use generic function resizeLVMPVs in OEMPartitionInstall too
* Tue Apr 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed OEMRepartLVM, to pass correctly formated size value
to createPartitionerInput, value requires a unit suffix
* Tue Apr 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.8 released
* Tue Apr 16 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use uuid search only in livestick, remove the flag file
* Mon Apr 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed split createTmpTree, return if lstat returns undef
* Mon Apr 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure index file will be removed in case of an error
in the getSingleInstSourceSatSolvable() function
* Mon Apr 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of lwp-download with complex zypper URL's
containing additional proxy, proxy-user/pwd information
* Sat Apr 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- changed offset=64 to offset=0 for isohybrid. this fixes the
problem of missing partition devices in legacy BIOS mode
* Sat Apr 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed dereferencing of undefined values if no profiles are used
* Fri Apr 12 2013 - ms@suse.de

- fixed typos: Replace "(c|C)onfiguartion" with "(c|C)configuration"
* Fri Apr 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for overlayfs as root filesystem for the
disk based image types oem and vmx. Unfortunately the
tool chain is not really prepared for such systems.
I found the following issues which are not a kiwi
business:
* grub2-mkconfig failed to get canonical path of overlayfs
* mkinitrd does not work if the rootfs is an overlayfs
Thus when building an image with filesystem="overlayfs"
it can be booted only once with the kiwi initrd. the
subsequent reboot failed when using grub2. funny enough
with the legacy grub it works because kiwi writes the
config in this case
* Fri Apr 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added helper tool called livestick:
+ allows deployment of live ISO images on USB sticks without
destroying any data on the stick. The system is based on
grub2 which loads via loopback the kernel and the initrd
from the transfered iso image file. In addition to that
custom writing happens into a cowfile and not into a
partition. Using livestick recommends the use of the
overlayfs filesystem (flags="overlay") because that has
proven to work fast and nicely with a cowfile
* Fri Apr 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- follow up fix for the last commit concerning the unit tests
make sure unwanted duplicate entries are replaced
* Fri Apr 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't use opensuse:// urls in unit tests. that sucks inside
the buildservice if the service redirector is broken
* Fri Apr 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added aarch64 as supported arch to the KIWIXML ctor
* Thu Apr 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use a --label search for the grub2 setup if possible
* Thu Apr 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure imx, dtb and elf files are moved correctly in
the boot partition
* Thu Apr 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed loading of network drivers in oemboot dump code

- add armv5el boot architecture link
* Sun Apr 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed plymouth splash activation in kiwi initrd. It's
done in the same way systemd does it. after the start of
the plymouth daemon it's required to wait for udev events
to settle before showing the splash screen
* Sun Apr 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure --solv-cache-dir points to the same base
directory as --cache-dir. Without this setup the cookie
cache gets lost inside the chroot and thus repositories
with credentials might fail the authentication
* Sun Apr 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed loop name collision in isofrom mode
* Sat Apr 06 2013 - ms@suse.de

in this mode a disk partition device was passed instead
of the entire disk device (bnc #804160)
* Mon Mar 25 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved the check for the Amazon EC2 toolkit after the check
for the credentials. If no or not enough credentials are provided
the bundling is skipped and that's not an error. Thus it's ok
to miss ec2-bundle-image at that point so the check needs to be
done after successfully checking for the pre-conditions
* Mon Mar 25 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed addBootEFILive function to work for 32bit ISO's
+ the boot path was hardcoded to boot/x86_64. With this

- fixed calculation of inode number in KIWIBoot constructor
for vmx images which requested a specific size in the XML
description it's required to calculate the inode count
from the specified size and not from the size of the of
the unpacked root tree. If the requested image size is
much bigger than the unpacked root tree it might happen
that we run out of inodes very soon in the later image
* Wed Mar 20 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com

+ update ImageCreator
+ update triggers
+ implement new unit tests
* Tue Mar 19 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- update build and runtime requirements
+ add rsync as build requires, new test uses code path that requires rsync
+ add perl-Digest as build requires and requires, new test generates
a checksum
- add code to handle absence of /proc/mounts
+ this is useful when working in a local osc sandbox with osc chroot
where /proc/mounts does not exist
* Tue Mar 19 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- move all the driver handling in the XML from the old
data model to the new data model
* remove addDrivers_legacy
* remove getDriversNodeList_legacy
* remove the driversNodeList class member
* Tue Mar 19 2013 - ms@suse.de
- allow option for KIWIManager*::setupUpgrade() to operate
in a mode which checks only for the requested package
transactions and allow to skip the dist upgrade. This mode
is used in the kiwi --create step to prevent auto dist
upgrades which should only happen if kiwi --upgrade is
called
* Mon Mar 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed copyBootCode and suseGFXBoot to be more generic with
regards to the different u-boot img/bin files
* Mon Mar 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- create aarch64 link to boot images. Currently this points
to the same boot description files used for armv7 and armv5
* Mon Mar 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure splash stays on screen when in oem-silentboot mode
* Mon Mar 18 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- apply new method naming convention, use p_ as prefix for
"protected" methods
* Mon Mar 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't use grub2 modules from host system if not found in initrd
+ instead enable/disable support according to stages (BIOS/EFI)
+ print better error message in case of missing required stages
+ allow plain BIOS, plain EFI and EFI+BIOS setup
* Mon Mar 18 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- improve the KIWI*Builder framework
+ rename the ImageBuilder class to ImageBuilderBase to
indicate base class status of the implementation
+ rename methods according to naming convention
+ add checksum creation capabilities to the
ImageBuilderBase class
- add method to execute images.sh explicitly to the Image class
+ the image class will transition to only represent the
unpacked image. The new methods executes images.sh in
the unpacked image tree
+ fixup the destructor to avoid "uninitialized" messages
from Perl if object creation fails
- improve the container build
+ run images.sh file
+ create a checksum for the container file
- add naming convention to the developer documentation
- fix up the pre-commit hook script to deal with file
removal or renames. When moving/renaming or renaming
a file, git still presents the old file name as "changed"
previously this would break the code checking the
modified files. Compile errors, registration errors,
and perlcritic errors would be generated
- add entry to container configuration file indicating
device handling. This is lxc version dependent and kiwi
does not know the host where the container is deployed,
thus we cannot add the setting to the configuration
without guard
- create unit tests for the ImageBuilderBase class
- create a rudimentary unit test for the Image class
* Mon Mar 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed stage directory check for grub2
* Mon Mar 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure profile information is used in all kiwi modes
* Mon Mar 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed call of undefined subroutine &KIWIGlobals::qxx
* Mon Mar 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added option --force-bootstrap in combination with --recycle-root
in the kiwi modes --prepare and/or --create. When using a base
tree with --recycle-root kiwi normally skips the bootstrapping
part because that data should all be part of the base tree. If
the tree is not complete in this regard, e.g missing zypper one
can now enforce the bootstrapping phase to be called.
* Sun Mar 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed directory creation in KIWIImageCreator. the profile
information was stored in a variable which was not used
* Sun Mar 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in function name
* Sat Mar 16 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- make the methods of the XML data base class public
+ brings code into allignment with other OO use in other langauges
+ the base class nature is indicated by the name
* Fri Mar 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for hybrid EFI disk images based on gptsync.
* if gptsync is installed an MBR is added to the GPT table
* this allows to boot plain vmx images via legacy BIOS and EFI
* this allows to boot oem disk via legacy BIOS and EFI
The repartition code of an EFI oem will overwrite the MBR
placed by gptsync. Thus the kiwi initrd tries to re-add the
information by calling syncGPT. The funtion requires the
presence of gptsync and sfdisk inside the kiwi initrd.
Both tools are not part of the kiwi initrd by default
* this allows to boot oem install media via legacy BIOS and EFI
oem install media are install ISOs and install sticks
* please note placing an MBR into the GPT is outside of the
EFI standard. It might happen that an EFI firmware refuse
to boot a system which includes a MBR inside the GPT.
Thus gptsync support should be seen as experimental
* Fri Mar 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.4 released
* Fri Mar 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed unit test: kiwiContainerBuilder
+ the test used the getArch() function from the global space
this function turns any 32bit arch name into 'ix86' but the
container builder code uses the value from 'uname -m' in
the generateBuildImageName() function and thus the arch
value used here is like 'i686'. Therefore the unit test
will fail on all 32bit x86 architectures
* Fri Mar 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.3 released
* Fri Mar 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed package build, lxc is required for unit testing
* Fri Mar 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.2 released
* Thu Mar 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getSingleInstSourceSatSolvable() in terms of pattern
handling. the function stores projectxml always with the
the suffix .gz which indicates a compressed version of the
file. But the patterns information file could also contain
a non compressed version of patterns.xml which is then
wrongly used as compressed file
* Wed Mar 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- the btrfsctl utility is deprecated and will be removed soon
There was one code path in kiwi which needs to be adapted to
understand both btrfs and btrfsctl (bnc #808962)
* Tue Mar 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setup of selectedProfiles information. The way it was
done before possibly overwrites information provided on the
commandline

- added openSUSE 12.3 boot and JeOS templates for armv7
* Mon Mar 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- more robust code:
+ getStorageSize, returns an error if device is not present
+ retry of partition creation no longer endless
* Mon Mar 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- removed unused function getRemovableUSBStorageDevices()
* Mon Mar 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use kpartx sync mode to make sure devices are created
on return of the call
* Mon Mar 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure writeTester gets installed
* Fri Mar 08 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- added tests/writeTester for XML import/export tests
* Fri Mar 08 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- handle repositories in the new data structure
+ remove legacy methods for repository handling
~ getHttpsRepositoryCredentials_legacy
~ getRepositories_legacy
~ ignoreRepositories_legacy
~ setRepository_legacy
~ addRepositories_legacy
+ modify CommandLine object to handle KIWIXMLRepositoryData
objects instead of handle arrays of disconnected
repository data
+ modify the command line processor (kiwi.pl) to create
KIWIXMLRepositoryData objects
+ eliminate the repository processing from the changeset
that is used to modify the boot description. The
information is still in the changeset but is no longer
considered
* Thu Mar 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed checks for already mounted system filesystems
- fixed race condition in bindDiskPartitions, kpartx returns
early and sometimes before the devices in /dev/mapper were
created
* Wed Mar 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Wed Mar 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation; add missing image types
* Wed Mar 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved from clicfs to overlayfs for 12.3 JeOS live iso
* Wed Mar 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for overlayfs for live images
+ requires kernel >= 3.7 (openSUSE >= 12.3)
+ activate with <type image="iso" ... flags="overlay"/>
* Wed Mar 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added SLED as possible target for kiwi --migrate (bnc #807469)
* Wed Mar 06 2013 - ms@suse.de

* Wed Mar 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild schema documentation
* Tue Mar 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getOperatingSystemVersion() in KIWIMigrate. Use the
/etc/products.d/baseproduct information to find the OS name
* Tue Mar 05 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- rename the getImageType method on the KIWIXMLTypeData object
The name had an unfortunate overlap with the same name on
the XML class
* Tue Mar 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed oem-silent-install and oem-silent-verify options. They
were not evaluated in __updateDescriptionFromChangeSet_legacy
* Tue Mar 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- eliminate getImageVersion_legacy method from XML
* Tue Mar 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- integrate KIWIImageBuilder approach better:
+ move __getBaseWorkingDir, __createWorkingDir, __cleanupWorkingDir
and __getBaseWorkingDir into the KIWIContainerBuilder. They are
specific to the creation of lxc containers
+ delete __provideResults from KIWIImageBuilder. what happens with
the result belongs to KIWIImageCreator not to the plain builder
+ add __createBuildDir to the KIWIImageBuilder constructor.
the creation of the intermediate build directory is done
by the base class for all image builds. The result of the
build is created there
+ integrate KIWIImageBuildFactory better into the KIWIImageCreator
the first build is based on KIWIImageBuildFactory. If the image
can't be build by this factory the image is build calling a
creation function from the KIWIImage space. In the future more
and more image creation code will be moved from KIWIImage to
KIWIImageBuildFactory
+ format creation, build result archiving and move of result into
user specified target directory applies to a successfull build
no matter if it was done by the KIWIImageBuildFactory or by a
image creation function from the KIWIImage space
+ adapt unit tests
* Tue Mar 05 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- return an array ref from the createImage method
+ the array contains the files created by the builder. This will
help us to eliminate the glob copy in the ImageCreator in the
future
* Mon Mar 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure all USB host controller drivers will become
included by mkinitrd (bnc #805053)
* Mon Mar 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation

in /etc/default/grub to make grub2-mkconfig produce
correct results
* Sun Mar 03 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- allow the user to hide the install and verify ncurses progress
dialogs during OEM image installation, needed by Tyco (bnc #791291)
+ implement oem-silent-install and oem-silent-verify elements
both are childeren of oemconfig
* Fri Mar 01 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed grub2 setup for older distros which packages into lib/grub2-efi
* Thu Feb 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed KIWILinuxRC::installBootLoaderGrub2()
+ install grub2 only in BIOS mode, in EFI mode this doesn't make sense
+ make sure the grub2 config file also lands on the EFI (fat) partition
when in UEFI mode the precompiled and signed grub.efi image searches
there for the configuration
* Wed Feb 27 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed UEFI bootloader setup for grub2 based disk images
+ fixed creation of image install CDs in EFI mode
+ call findAndCopyMagicBlock only if hybrid is requested
* Tue Feb 26 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement support to build an image that runs as lxc container
+ add "lxc" as accepted value to image attribute
+ add container attribute to <type> element, this attribute
is required for container building

+ must have container attribute
+ container attribute value must be composed of word characters
+ container build must include lxc packsge (runtime check)
+ unit tests
+ implement processing of new attributes in the XML code
+ unit tests
- implement KIWIContainerConfigWriter
+ this class writes the configuration file and fstab file
for a container
+ it is a child of KIWIConfigWriter
+ unit tests
- implement KIWIConfigWriter
+ base class for configuration file writers, at present it only
has the container writer as a child. This class will help us
to separate the code for other image types that have configuration
file (ovf, vmware, xen) and create individual classes that are
focused on only one thing
- implement KIWIConfigWriterFactory
+ factory class that hands out a *ConfigWriter objects based on
the image type or image format being built
+ unit tests
- implement KIWIContainerBuilder
+ this class is responsible for the image creation for a container
image only createImage is public and implements the creation
procedure
+ is a child of KIWIImageBuilder
+ unit tests
- implement KIWIImageBuilder
+ base class for all *Builder classes, at present it only has the
container builder as a child. This class will help us to peal
apart the creation of various image types currently implemented
in a tangle in KIWIImage and KIWIImageCreator
- implement KIWIImageBuildFactory
+ factory class that hands out *Builder objects based on the image
type
+ unit tests
- integrate the new build infrastructure code into the image creation
process for lxc containers

value 'onboot' is no longer supported, changed to 'auto'
- add a chapter to the documentation providing information about
the new container image type
* Tue Feb 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added network drivers and nfs stack to isoboot for
openSUSE 12.3. This allows to boot live ISO's via pxe
as explained in (bnc #805771)
* Tue Feb 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- changed isofrom feature:
+ splitted information provided in isofrom into two parts
isofrom_device= and isofrom_system= the two were set in
common and seperated by a colon before. This caused
trouble when the colon is part of the device information
+ added support for ISO from NFS (bnc #805771)
isofrom_device=nfs:<ip>:<export-path>
* Tue Feb 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Tue Feb 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update. wrote about the different union mount methods for pxe
* Mon Feb 25 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added vmxFlavour-uefi and xenFlavour-uefi profiles to the
suse-SLE11-JeOS template image description. Given that
SLE11 SP3 is used these profiles can be used to build
UEFI images based on grub2
* Fri Feb 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed cleanMount function to work if $root dir can't be
created. It might happen that at that point kiwi already
mounted some stuff which can be released via cleanMount
but cleanMount returned if no $root location was created.

function a systemd target is not a number but something
like multi-user.target or graphical.target
* Wed Feb 20 2013 - adrian@suse.de
- fix iso creation for non-EFI medias again
* Wed Feb 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure GRUB_TERMINAL is set in etc/default grub to make
yast bootloader happy. if yast can't find this setting it
switches to 'console' which deactivates the graphical grub2
console (bnc #804725)
* Wed Feb 20 2013 - adrian@suse.de
- fix product media creation for non-x86_64 when EFI
boot support is enabled (bnc #804428)

opensusePattern instead of namedCollection
* Wed Feb 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- move from opensusePattern to namedCollection in KIWIMigrate
* Wed Feb 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added missing setup of etc/sysconfig/bootloader setup for grub2
- fixed possible duplicate entries for quiet and splash= in
etc/default/grub
* Tue Feb 19 2013 - ms@suse.de
- KIWIISOLinux fixes:
+ added addBootEFILive magic block creation to the source
media KIWICollect code too
+ extend magic block lookup in findAndCopyMagicBlock()
from 2 to 8 files and from 4 to 8 blocks (bnc #804428)

* Mon Feb 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- switch back to firmware='bios' and print a warning if uefi
is requested on another than the x86_64 architecture. on SUSE
we provide signed loaders and kernels for x86_64 only
* Mon Feb 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- secure boot grub commands are linuxefi and initrdefi
fix this also for oem disk images
* Mon Feb 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed building of i386-efi (32bit) live EFI iso images
* Sun Feb 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- check for grub2 conf tool name before using it. with
openSUSE 12.3 the grub2-efi-... tool chain was removed
thus kiwi needs to check this before calling the mkconfig
command
* Sun Feb 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- better logging messages for framebuffer device setup and
initrd creation for reboot of the system by either dracut
or mkinitrd
* Sun Feb 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- increased default boot partition size to 200MB (+50M)
the plymouth splash data is huge. Just to give an example
12.2 SUSE plymouth theme data is ~3M, 12.3 SUSE plymouth
theme data is about 23M. That blows up the initrd and
needs more space on the boot partition
* Sun Feb 17 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure temporary config.lxc is removed after execution
* Sun Feb 17 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com

* set logfile to terminal
* Sun Feb 17 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix the openSUSE 12.3 examples, add module-init-tools to bootstrap
package list
* Sun Feb 17 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- use the localectl and datetimectl implementations provided by
systemd to set the configuration
+ short circuit the suseConfig function in the shell code
if localectl exists
+ implement the configuration in Perl code, now all configuration
settings are implemented in the same class
+ remove the call to suseConfig in the config.sh files of our examples
- clean up the KIWIConfigure implementation to critic level 3
- add deprecation message to the old implementation
* Fri Feb 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- systemd related fixes causing the first boot to hang
* setupConsole should not run at all in case of systemd
* systemd has been moved to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd thus
/bin/systemd is now a link and that causes several
bash test calls to fail
* quit plymouth inside the initrd if the system image
doesn't have plymouth installed
* make debugging plymouth problems more easy by evaluating
the options plymouth.enable and/or rd.plymouth like
the mkinitrd scripts does it
* Fri Feb 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- systemd has been moved to /usr/lib/systemd with openSUSE 12.3
thus the function baseSetRunlevel() needs to address old and
new location
* Fri Feb 15 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove the getImageName_legacy method from the code base
* Thu Feb 14 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add critic exception for the _new_instance private method in all
singletons.
+ The method is called from the base class only and thus does not
appear to be called when perlcritic parses the code.
- convert the Locator to a singleton
+ the locator holds no state and we really only need one per kiwi
invocation
* Wed Feb 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't trigger udev device creation in pre-init. All devices
are already there due to the initial start of udev. This
could cause a hangup on first boot of the appliance
* Tue Feb 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- don't rely on boot.device-mapper init script, load
device mapper module manually when needed
* Tue Feb 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed start/stop of udev in pre-init. while using sysV init
it was possible to run a startup script without a running
init process. With systemd you cannot really run a service
when systemd does not run
* Tue Feb 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed corrupted fbiterm fonts for openSUSE 12.3 (bnc #803276)
* Tue Feb 12 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement writeXML method in XML class
+ write an xml file based on the data in the data structure
- do not write data to the generated XML if a default value
was set programmatically
- add a "namedCollection" element to the XML
+ this is in preparation for the removal of opensusePattern and rhelGroup
+ the KIWIXMLPackageCollection class already writes the <namedCollection>
element as there is no way to differentiate one collection from the
other <opensusePattern> vs. <rhelGroup>. Therefore, the schema has to
support the new element name prior to the old collection names
being removed.
- alpha sort the element declarations in the schema
+ benign change, but it aides XML code development
- kiwi now depends on File::Slurp
- implement a writeTest script that can be used to verify that
round tripping of XML data works
- create a sample config.xml file for round trip testing
* Tue Feb 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use global variable kernel_cmdline to store paramters
passed to the linuxrc/init script and don't hand them
over via sub-functions
* Tue Feb 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- suppress cpio blocks message to stderr
* Sat Feb 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- ignore empty directories in the migration report. the migrate
code checks the unmanaged directories and remove them from the
data hash if they are empty on the system. Additionally the path
which ends up in an empty directory is searched backwards to find
other empty directories in the unmanaged data hash which appears
due to the removal of deeper empty directories
* Fri Feb 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use mcopy to create efi structure in vfat image.
* Fri Feb 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- increased the vfat container image to be big enough to hold
additional efi modules like the shim
* Fri Feb 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed import of shim and grub efi modules. They are packaged
as links to usr/lib/grub2/xxx-efi thus moving data from this
directory will destroy the link target. We'd better copy it
- also allow integration of shim-opensuse key. If no Microsoft
signed key is present we check if an opensuse key exists
* Fri Feb 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure shim package is part of the boot image for iso
vmx and oem image types starting with openSUSE >= 12.3.
The sim package contains the Microsoft signed efi module
which is the entry point for UEFI secure boot
* Fri Feb 08 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- improved genDevDoc script:
* improve the file processing routine, use only one loop
* general code cleanliness improvements
* implement DAG generation
* Thu Feb 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed search path for UEFI signed shim.efi and grub.efi
* Thu Feb 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for D3 data visualisation for custom files
in kiwi migration report. The report shows a nice collapsable
tree view of the unmanaged files/directories
* Thu Feb 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- print warning if installed isohybrid does not support EFI
* Thu Feb 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- search for the grub2 mkimage tool. the tool has been renamed
in openSUSE 12.3 thus we have to find it and can't rely on
the name
* Thu Feb 07 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure module-init-tools is part of the bootstrap list
for openSUSE 12.3 images. Otherwise kmod-compat ist installed
which is incompatible with the kernel packages and causes
a zypper provides error
* Wed Feb 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed search path for grub2 EFI modules. in openSUSE 12.2
grub2-efi was packaged in a way that the modules were installed
to /usr/lib/grub2-efi/x86_64-efi. In openSUSE 12.3 the packaging
has changed and the modules are now installed to
/usr/lib/grub2/x86_64-efi, really a brilliant idea
* Wed Feb 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed repo setup in KIWIXMLInfo mode, the code there still
needs the setRepository_legacy() call
* Wed Feb 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed call to undefined function setGlobals(). This was
renamed into setKiwiConfigData()
* Wed Feb 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure KIWIMigrate writes latest version of the XML schema
* Wed Feb 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- remove autoyastClone function/feature from KIWIMigrate
this feature did not work well and it's also not
maintained by yast at the moment
* Wed Feb 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value in KIWIMigrate
* Wed Feb 06 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added function createCustomHybridPersistent() which allows to
provide the cmdline variable 'kiwi_cowfile=device:/path/to/cowfile'
If kiwi get this information it uses the file as container for
persistent writing for hybrid iso images. If this information is
not present the standard case applies, which is kiwi tries to
create a new partition device for persistent writing. In combination
with the isofrom feature the kiwi_cowfile approach is useful
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- generate KIWI Class API documentation and cross references
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.05.01 released
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation for version change
* Tue Feb 05 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.
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.38 released
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value in setupBTRFS
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use ext4 filesystem for clic'ed live iso's
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- use grub2 as bootloader for xen on openSUSE 12.2 JeOS too
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed return value of KIWIImageFormat::createFormat. If no
format is specified, e.g on xen we need only the format
configuration, this is just a warning, thus the return
value of the function should not indicate an error
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed update of machine section in case of a xen dom0 setup
the vmdisk entry is mandatory now thus the section has to
provide it
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setup of build type in KIWIXML constructor. While testing
I found that e.g the format conversion failed because there
was no machine section found. But for the selected type and profile
there was a machine section specified. The KIWIXML::setBuildType
function was never called thus the default type applies which was
of type iso and there no machine section existed.
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized values in KIWIBoot.pm while
in kiwi's format conversion mode
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added 'skipit' to the list of supported archs. I'm a bit unhappy
with this change but I didn't see a better way to fix the arch
check. In fact 'skipit' is not an architecture but for product
building this architecture flag is used to indicate noarch rpm
packages. In kiwi we check all arch values by one function
KIWIXMLFileData::__isSupportedArch(), thus 'skipit' needs to be
part of the list. The more clean fix would be to have two
arch checking functions one for image building (real arch check)
and one for product building (DVD source media). In order to
keep the risk of regressions low I decided for the fast and
easy way but we should have in mind that we can do better here.
* Tue Feb 05 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure dbus machine-id is unique
* Mon Feb 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update failsafe options (bnc #801973)
* Mon Feb 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed search and call code for editbootconfig and editbootinstall
evaluation when building iso images, live and install media
* Mon Feb 04 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix the message for the init argument hash presence
+ the log facility is a singleton and is no longer passed
as argument, thus the initialization hash argument
is always expected as the first argument.
* Mon Feb 04 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove unused code
+ getTypes_legacy method was no longer called
* Mon Feb 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fix architecture handling for ProductPackages, allow a
comma separated list of architectures also in the runtime
checker function __isSupportedArch()
* Mon Feb 04 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add trigger for schema changes
+ run all tests that use an xml file when the schema changes
* Mon Feb 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- check for the existence of a the service file before
activating/deactivating a systemd service
* Mon Feb 04 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of KIWI* instances in KIWICollect
* Sun Feb 03 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed KIWICollect constructor. The code there did not make
use of the singleton KIWILog object and still expects the
first parameter to be the log reference
* Sun Feb 03 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement getBootImageDescription method in locator
+ will eventually replace normalizeBootPath in KIWIURL. Implement
search hierarchy for boot image description search that is more
easily understood by users.
- implement unit tests for new functionality
* Fri Feb 01 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- eliminate getOVFConfig_legacy
- remove des_cpu and des_memory attributes
+ des_cpu == ncpus and des_memory == memory we do not need 2
attributes to describe the same value
+ fix typo of ovfformat name, it is "powervm" not "povervm"
+ the schema version did NOT change thus users must fix the
config file manually if they used "des_cpu", "des_memory",
and "povervm"
- implement writing of configured information into the .ovf
configuration file
+ memory and limits
+ cpu and limits
+ devices
- fix link bug
+ the image file in the .ovf directoy was a dangling link
as the link created was not pointing to the proper location
- update the tests to account for the removed attributes
- fix typo in method name "...Machine..." not "...Maschine..."
* Fri Feb 01 2013 - ms@suse.de
- clean up the kiwi debug mode which collects trace information
about the perl caller stack. There is now a singleton module
called KIWITrace which stores the backtrace. Thus this also
removes the last main:: global variables from the kiwi space
* Fri Feb 01 2013 - ms@suse.de
- follow up fix for the use vs. require change in the Singleton
objects KIWILog and KIWIGlobals. If one of the modules included
by require contains a use statement of the Singleton object we
again got warnings about redefined functions
* Thu Jan 31 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- eliminate getVMwareConfig_legacy
+ incorporate default setting for guestOS
into XMLVMachineData
+ drop all other mappings for guestOS, this is
the user's responsibility
- fix VMWare NIC setup bug
+ previously the generated config file (.vmx) did not
contain information about the specified MAC address.
The MAC was always set to "generated" ignoring the
user specified data.
* Thu Jan 31 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- use require instead of use to include other modules in the
Singleton classes. when using the "use" syntax for modules
the perl compiler interrupts the compilation of the current
module and starts compiling the module declared in the use
statement. If the included module then includes the singleton
perl issues 'Subroutine foo redefined' messages. As the
compilation of of the original module was interrupted it is
not finished and thus not recorded in the lookup table.
Delaying the loading to runtime with the require function
avoids the warning.
* Thu Jan 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.37 released
* Thu Jan 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed __checkVMscsiCapable() runtime check, it's ok to have
no machine section. That one broke the containment builds for
SUSE Studio
* Thu Jan 31 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.36 released
* Wed Jan 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.35 released
* Wed Jan 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of JSON tree in KIWIMigrate
* Wed Jan 30 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix the isohybrid checks
+ previous implementation did not properly account for conditions
that trigger the isohybrid code path
+ add error condition for architectures that do not support the
creation of iso hybrids
+ update the tests accordingly
* Wed Jan 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- worked on the visualization of unmanaged data in KIWIMigrate.
I'd like to use the d3 visualization framework and that requires
the data as JSON data structure. I implemented a method to
create that information but ran into JSON max nesting level
problems
* Wed Jan 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- partially revert (eff68ab8de60). The fstool runtime is ok
just the test case XML in liveIsoImg/efiOEM/config.xml would
force the xfs tools to be installed which I think is not
really necessary for this test
* Wed Jan 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.34 released
* Wed Jan 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of undefined value in writeImageConfig
* Wed Jan 30 2013 - ms@suse.de
- I removed the runtime check for xfs and reiserfs. reiserfs
is more or less dead and xfs is a pure optional filesystem.
If we have a mandatory check for xfs kiwi has to require the
tools package on the package and on the build level which I
think is not required. imho it would also be better to change
the fstool runtime check to check only for the selected
filesystem and not the complete list. We cannot expect our
users to install all filesystem tools
* Wed Jan 30 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- build require e2fsprogs to allow unit tests to pass
* Tue Jan 29 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove the getRPM*_legacy methods use the new API
* Tue Jan 29 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- only require the uefi isohybrid command line option when building
a EFI/UEFI iso
+ at present the uefi command line option on the isohybrid executable is
treated as mandatory. This breaks all ISO builds on systems that do not
have the latest isohybrid tool even if the ISO to be created is not
designated as an efi/uefi ISO via the firmware attribute. The changes
treat the uefi command line option as optional. A runtime check ensures
that kiwi exits if the uefi command line option is required and the
tool does not support it.
- new runtime check and test cases
* Tue Jan 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed firmware check to allow uefi as well
* Tue Jan 29 2013 - ms@suse.de
- grubcd.efi has been moved to grub.efi in the latest grub2
packages. Thus we have to follow the change
* Mon Jan 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- some cleanup in KIWIMigrate.pm, tested d3 data visualization
* Mon Jan 28 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- make KIWIGlobals a singleton
+ eliminates another package variable in kiwi.pl
+ add the singleton to the doc
+ allows us to make the remainaing test cases packages, now critic 2 clean
- rename methods getGlobals and setGlobals
+ reflect in name the data that is being returned/set
getKiwiConfig, setKiwiConfigData
- some general code consistency clean up
* Mon Jan 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.33 released
* Mon Jan 28 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for firmware="uefi" attribute. In contrast to
the standard firmware="efi" support, kiwi will not create its
own efi boot images but uses the shim and the signed bootloader
modules as they are provided by the packages.
* Sun Jan 27 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Implement KIWIXMLPXEDeployConfigData
+ <pxedeploy> supports multiple declarations of <configuration>
+ remove confArch, confDest, and confSource from KIWIXMLPXEDeployData
and encapsulate in this new object
- Integrate KIWIXMLPXEDeployConfigData into XML
+ hold array of KIWIXMLPXEDeployConfigData and enforce child relationship
to KIWIXMLPXEDeployData indirectly
- Implement proper default processing for partition definitions in
KIWIXMLPXEDeployData
+ previously the default setting were applied in the XML in the old data
model. In the new data model all default are known only to the type
encapsulating the data
- Eliminate all *PXEDeploy*_legacy methods from XML class
+ update client code to use new data model provided objects
- Eliminate all calls to _legacy in the PXE image creation code path
- Implement new tests and update existing tests as necessary
+ new tests for new class
+ update tests for default values
+ new tests for default settings
+ eliminate _legacy tests for PXEDeploy
* Sat Jan 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed hybrid iso search to respect partition devices and
prefer them over the entire disk device. Additionally don't
set a loop on the found device anymore which was used to
workaround the busy state set by the kernel.
* Sat Jan 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of undefined value as an ARRAY reference in
KIWIXML::getUsers() method
* Sat Jan 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make grub2 search more robust by searching for a flag file
named like the unique ID used in the ISO header or MBR. This
completes (bnc #799488)
* Sat Jan 26 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make sure grub2/grub2-efi are part of the isoboot initrd
* Fri Jan 25 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed grub2 prefix and root variable setup (bnc #799488)
- fixed layout of iso's and also make sure fixCatalog()
is called
* Fri Jan 25 2013 - ms@suse.de
- enhanced isohybrid call to know about --uefi option.
Creating an EFI capable hybrid iso requires the new isohybrid
tool including patches by Steffen Winterfeldt as well as
a correctly prepared ISO to write the information. This commit
is only about calling isohybrid whereas the last commits was
about preparation of the iso itself
* Fri Jan 25 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Remove getEc2Config_legacy method from XML
+ Change client code to use new getEC2Config method and work with the
returned EC2ConfigData object
- Change getDisplayName implementation in XML
+ Use data from the new data structure to return the name
- Reorder some operations in the EC2 image creation step
+ Facilitate early exit by first checking the architecture
+ Eliminate all _lgacy calls from this code path
+ Move variable initialization closer to the place where the values
are used
+ Handle all AWS account stuff towards the end of the method,
when we need the information, as this is not treated as
an error anyway
- Fix link in documentation
+ The repo for the EC2 tools moved from Virtualization:/Cloud to Cloud:/
* Thu Jan 24 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- support the profiles attribute for user definitions
at the "group" level (bnc #77152)
* implement new tests
* update consistency checks
* Thu Jan 24 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added the firmware type 'vboot' to support creation of
images for arm based boards using google's chrome OS
boot style
* Wed Jan 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- prepare ISO images in a way that allows hybrid ISO's which boot
via EFI. There is some magic involved here and we are still not
there. In order to make it work it's required to have two iso
meta data blocks whereas one is used as real iso header providing
boot entries for syslinux and efi-boot as well as the optional
legacy bios based partition table for hybrids and the other one
is used to place a gpt partition table to allow this iso to be
seen as a disk when booting it as disk over EFI
* Wed Jan 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- removed support for openSUSE 11.4
* Wed Jan 23 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for openSUSE 12.3
* Wed Jan 23 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- update the extra examples
+ support 12.2 and 12.3
+ remove 11.4
+ add min-gnome as SLES example
* Tue Jan 22 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix the UserData tests broken by previous update adding merge code
* Tue Jan 22 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement a merge method that supports the merge of user data
* Tue Jan 22 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for EFI in live ISO images. In order to create
a syslinux plus EFI (grub2) live ISO use the following type
<type image="iso" firmware="efi" .../>
hybrid support for EFI live ISO's requires the new isohybrid
tool which could also write a gpt into the isoheader.
* Mon Jan 21 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix architecture handling for ProductPackages, allow a
comma separated list of architectures
* Mon Jan 21 2013 - ms@suse.de
- removed __checkNoProfsBootstrapPackages check. It's allowed
to have profiles specified in the bootstrap packages. There
are image descriptions which installs the entire system by
bootstrap packages. Reason for this is if the packagemanager
in the image is not compatible to the implementation in kiwi
e.g SLE10. Other than that we officially support bootstrap
only installation including all features of 'image' typed
package sections.
* Mon Jan 21 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- allow archives in the bootsrap section to allow build
of images of older distributions
* Sun Jan 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of sat solvable functions due to the Singleton
log class changes. There were still some functions calls
left which passes the $kiwi log object to the functions
* Sun Jan 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- Due to the new Singleton log class and the fix in KIWIQX to make use
of it, all EXEC calls now lands in the logInfoMsg type of unit test
framework. Thus I changed the ktLog.pm::loginfo function in the unit
test functions to ignore EXEC loginfo messages and allow the unit
tests to work again
* Sun Jan 20 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed $main::kiwi accesses according to new Singleton log class
- fixed KIWIQX command execution logging with new Singleton log class
- fixed object instantiation of KIWIXMLRepositoryData due to new
Singleton based log object class
* Sun Jan 20 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement new consistency checks
+ do not allow the assignment of a group ID to known system groups
+ do not allow the profiles attribute on a <packages> section marked
as bootstrap
+ do not allow the use of archives in a <packages> section marked
as bootstrap
+ ensure the interface is unique within one <machine> definition
+ ensure the MAC is unique within one <machine> definition
* Fri Jan 18 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- eliminate the getUsers_legacy method
* Fri Jan 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed wrong filesystem label for the efi jump partition.
According to the EFI spec it should be EFI not BOOT
- fixed the boot partition setup in case of an EFI system.
kiwi checks the filesystem type of the jump partition
and not the boot partition which leads to a missing
boot -> . link on the boot partition which then prevents
the grub2 efi core image to find the grub.cfg file
* Fri Jan 18 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Fri Jan 18 2013 - tom_schr@web.de
- DB: Moved definition of PXE as the first sentence
- DB: Removed linebreak after <screen> and before </screen>
to avoid layout problems
* Thu Jan 17 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- turn the logger (KIWILog) into a Singleton
+ eliminates the first argument for every constructor
+ enforces less sloppy testing code for log message checking
- add the logger to the design diagram as a singleton
- start over all design write up
* Wed Jan 16 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- eliminate some calls to _legacy methods
- moved some "old" accessors to _legacy in XML
KIWIXMLInfo => getInstallSize_legacy
KIWIXML => getImageVersion_legacy
KIWIXML => getImageName_legacy
* Tue Jan 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Tue Jan 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- DB: add documentation about new post hook commands
* Tue Jan 15 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added support for post hook commands as requested in (bnc #776535)
* Mon Jan 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.32 released
* Mon Jan 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed netboot boot partition setup. In case of a custom boot
partition the code created the partition and the filesystem
but the original data from the image was not moved over to the
boot partition
* Mon Jan 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed updateOtherDeviceFstab to add devices by disk ID
* Mon Jan 14 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of IFS in probeNetworkCard and loadNetworkCard
- try to load hwinfo detected network modules in loadNetworkCard
but don't fail if there are none detected or the load failed.
udev normally loads the modules correctly
- ask interfaces for their MAC and IFace name directly instead
of using hwinfo, that's faster and more reliable
* Mon Jan 14 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- update XMLVMachineData class to reflect mandatory status of
<vmdisk> configuration setting in XML. Previously the <vmdisk>
element was optional and it was possible to construct the
VMachine object without arguments. Now the <vmdisk> element
is mandatory and thus the object may no longer be constructed
without argument.
* Sun Jan 13 2013 - ms@suse.de
- make vmdisk a mandatory element in the machine section
* Sat Jan 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed dom0 machine setup to make object init of
KIWIXMLVMachineData happy
* Sat Jan 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- added oem-swap for all examples which specify a swapsize
* Sat Jan 12 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed indention, obsolete curly braces from information
about the structure of the internal XML data types
* Sat Jan 12 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- store objects in XML instead of raw data
+ change the XML class such that objects are stored instead of
deeply nested raw data. This results ins simplification of code,
the internal data structure, and its documentation. Data that
requires merging (preferences and user data) is not stored as
objects as it is not obvious that merge delegation to the respective
objects would be advantageous.
* Fri Jan 11 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix the description
+ RuntimeChecker test failed due to conflicting settings in the config
* Fri Jan 11 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix XMLDescriptionData
+ previously the object construction did not conform to requierements
of the Schema, it was possible to create an object without author,
contact, or specification data. Multiple contact definitions were
ignored
- update unit tests for Description class and XML class
* Fri Jan 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed indention
* Fri Jan 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update 12.2 examples to use grub2 as bootloader
* Fri Jan 11 2013 - ms@suse.de
- moved the os-autoinst test case from the 11.4 JeOS template
into the SLE11 template. The 11.4 template will be removed
with the next openSUSE 12.3 distribution but I don't want
to loose this test case example
* Thu Jan 10 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)
* Wed Jan 09 2013 - ms@suse.de
- update internal data structure in-code documentation
* Tue Jan 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed 'run out of space' problem in LVM setup. use
a relative 20%% (min 30M) spare space per volume
* Tue Jan 08 2013 - ms@suse.de
- fixed LANG setup inside the kiwi initrd. LANG must be correctly
set before calling fbiterm. Otherwise the multibyte characters
in the target locale are not displayed correctly
* Thu Jan 03 2013 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Start documenting the KIWI design
+ document the new XML design
+ start of high level data-flow/interaction diagram
* Fri Dec 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for resizeMDRaid in kiwi's oemboot code
when the geometry of the disk changes the raid array
needs to grow too
* Fri Dec 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed mdraid setup in combination with LVM
* Fri Dec 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added zeroMDRaidSuperBlock function to make sure an old
raid array is stopped and the super block is removed prior
to installing a new system on that disk
* Fri Dec 21 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- deal with mdraid in the test
+ fix getXMLElement test
+ add unit test for new MDRaid methods
* Fri Dec 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed duplicate rt profile
* Wed Dec 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for software raid into disk based appliances
The feature is based on creating a degraded raid array with
one disk, thus only mirroring and striping levels can be
supported. A system build with a degraded raid array allows
to add custom disks later to the array. In order to set it
up you only need to specify the mdraid attribute as part of
the type like the following example:
<type ... mdraid="mirroring"/>
* Wed Dec 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed redundant code from setupInstallCD, this is done
in the KIWIBoot constructor
* Wed Dec 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed grub2 title setup, spaces were ignored
* Fri Dec 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.31 released
* Fri Dec 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for the apt-get/dpkg package manager to kiwi
* Thu Dec 13 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- allow the id for a vmdisk and vmdvd to be 0
trapped again by Perl's a string with zero ("0") is false
* Thu Dec 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- update templates and examples to match the schema
* Thu Dec 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed the change of the pwd attribute to be really complete
also fixed the 5.5 to 5.6 upgrade xsl style sheet
* Wed Dec 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- update templates and examples to latest schema version
* Wed Dec 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- split up KIWIManager object into a base class and the
corresponding manager sub classes for zypper, ensconce
yum and smart
* Wed Dec 12 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com

* Tue Dec 11 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- change the pwd attribute of the instrepo element to password
+ be consistent with the attribute name for the repository password
between the instrepo and repository element
- bump the schema version to 5.6
- implement a 5.5 to 5.6 upgrade style sheet
* Sat Dec 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure plymouth splash is switched off when the progress
dialog is displayed in the oemboot/suse-dump code (bnc #793260)
* Fri Dec 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.30 released
* Fri Dec 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed changelog filter tool to incorporate commits with the
same timestamp into one changelog entry
* Fri Dec 07 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Add tests for the new firmware attribute handling
- Additional changes to new firmware handling in the Type object
+ Encode the firmware type default (bios)
+ Verify that the given value is supported
* Fri Dec 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.29 released
* Fri Dec 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- add grub2-efi by default to openSUSE 12.2 oem|vmxboot
descriptions. Thus just selecting the firmware via
<type ... firmware="efi"> is enough
* Fri Dec 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for the firmware="bios|efi" type attribute
before this patch the decision for efi was done by the presence
of the grub2 efi modules inside the kiwi generated initrd.
This has turned out to be not flexible and can't be extended
to the firmware required disk layout on other architectures
like the arm based chromebook to mention just one example
This fixes (bnc #792917)
* Fri Dec 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- we should not overwrite the user specified target directory
in the commandline object with something the user did not set.
With reference to commit:b6a7e563 the creation of the image
happened in a subdirectory below the specified target directory
and kiwi overwrote that user target directory with a new name.
This should not happen thus I added a new function pair named
setImageIntermediateTargetDir/getImageIntermediateTargetDir
to handle that value and don't touch the user specified
target directory
* Thu Dec 06 2012 - ms@suse.de
- finally changed the fragile cleanup code in KIWIBoot.pm
The code there now builds a stack of commands which set
the busy devices free if processed in reverse order
* Thu Dec 06 2012 - praveen_paladugu@dell.com
- make sure rhelStripInitrd arguments are passed correctly
* Thu Dec 06 2012 - rneuhauser@suse.cz
- use mktemp -t to make use of $TMPDIR and do not hardcode
/tmp in the paramter to mktemp
* Thu Dec 06 2012 - ms@suse.de
- Don't use the same inode count for the install stick disk
compared to the system image disk. If the system image is
big the inode count is also a big number. But on the install
disk image there are only a few files including the
compressed version of the system image. Thus it's smaller
and has not much files. The system image inode count has no
relation to the filesystem on the install disk image. Under
certain circumstances it could happen that the install disk
filesystem can't be created because the big chunk of inodes
exceeds the size of the install disk filesystem
* Wed Dec 05 2012 - praveen_paladugu@dell.com
- Fedora/RHEL based distros have dhclient instead of dhcpcd.
Thus the code to ask the DHCP server for an address has been
splitted into two new functions setupNetworkDHCPCD() and
setupNetworkDHCLIENT()
* Tue Dec 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure pidof returns only the master pid of udevd
* Tue Dec 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure the splash information doesn't get lost when
repacking the initrd while building live iso images
* Tue Dec 04 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 04 2012 - adrian@suse.de
- instsource: use supportstatus from product descriptions
instead from PDB (Package Data Base)
* Tue Dec 04 2012 - adrian@suse.de
- instsource: avoid usage of translate_packages code, use
create_package_descr code (patch by rudi)
* Mon Dec 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't point stdout to stderr when calling grub2-mkconfig with
stdout I/O redirection into the configuration file. This just
leads to an empty file. I should think twice before hitting
the push button ;)
* Mon Dec 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- workaround a grub2-mkconfig bug which happens if a ' sign is
used as menuentry title in /etc/default/grub. if called with
the option -o grub2-mkconfig complains even if the shell
quoting is perfectly fine. Strange enough it works nicely
if called as grub2-mkconfig > some-file. As this is only a
small and maintainable workaround I applied it
* Mon Dec 03 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
* Mon Dec 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed 64bit path check for lxc base directory
* Sun Dec 02 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Implement XMLExceptData class to store <except> data of the
<split> element
- Modify the get* methods of the XMLSplitData class to return array refs of
FileData and ExceptData objects
* this was necessary to avoid duplication of XML generation code across
class implementations
* this behavior is now also consistent with other get* methods when
accessing complex data
- Implement getXMLElement method for all XML*Data classes
* getXML method returns 1 XML element that represents the data of the
class
- Update unit tests as needed
* Fri Nov 30 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement consistency check to disallow boot to be setup as
a volume in <systemdisk> (LVM) configuration
- implement unit tests to verify test
* Fri Nov 30 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.28 released
* Fri Nov 30 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed obsolete and also never reached code
* Fri Nov 30 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed user/group setup. kiwi used the given group name as a
supplementary group and not as the main group this user belongs
to. Together with a group name and a group id which matches
that group name this could lead to duplicate user views in
e.g YaST and to basically wrong user configuration (bnc #792058)
* Fri Nov 30 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement handling of additive and unit attributes of the <size>
element in the imageConfig data structure and the XMLTypeData class
rename the following methods of the XML class:
* getImageSize => getImageSize_legacy
* getImageSizeAdditiveBytes => getImageSizeAdditiveBytes_legacy
* getImageSizeBytes => getImageSizeBytes_legacy
* Thu Nov 29 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed legacy grub setup. the partition numbers starts at 0 here
* Thu Nov 29 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed shell escaping for grub.cfg and /etc/default/grub
- also fixed importFile method to handle single quotes correctly
* Wed Nov 28 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement <strip> data handling in new XML data structure
- rename the following methods:
* updateTypeList -> __updateTypeList_legacy
* updateXML -> __updateXML_legacy
* writeXMLDescription -> writeXMLDescription_legacy
* createURLList -> __createURLList_legacy
* getURLHash -> getURLHash_legacy
* getURLList -> __getURLList_legacy
* getLocale -> getLocale_legacy
* getStripDelete -> __getStripDelete_legacy
* getStripLibs -> __getStripLibs_legacy
* getStripTools -> __getStripTools_legacy
* addStrip -> __addStrip_legacy
- implement new methods to add and get data expressed as <strip>
in the XML
- update unit tests to use _legacy method names
- implement new unit tests for new methods
* create new config.xml file for new unit tests
- implement XMLStripData class
* Wed Nov 28 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixes use of custom disk size value via the <size> element
or the option --bootvm-disksize. In combination with LVM
volumes the result disk size is much bigger because kiwi
just added the requested volume sizes to the specified
disk size which is not the desired behavior
* Wed Nov 28 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix array comparison in the test case
* at present names that contain "special" characters may not compare
properly, such that libstdc++ will not match a libstdc++ entry in
the other array. Use string interpolation to address the issue.
* Tue Nov 27 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- use numbers for calculations, do not depend on implicit conversion
* Tue Nov 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Tue Nov 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation due to the new pxe unionfs mount method
* Tue Nov 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added mountSystemUnionFS() function which uses fuse-unionfs
to overlay mount the root system according to the contents
of UNIONFS_CONFIG. So far this setup is only supported with
pxe images as requested in (bnc #776505)
* Mon Nov 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- remove searchUSBStickDevice() function. When kiwi was called
with a target disk device the assumption was made that the
install media should also be created on a device directly.
If the install media is a USB stick (installstick="true")
kiwi searches for stick devices during the process and:
a) exits with an error if it can't find one
b) asks which one to use if it finds more than one
This behavior is a pita for automatic build processes and
it also fails if the stick media does not set the 'removable'
state in its meta data correctly. Additionally the assumption
that the install media is present as a device just because
the image was created from an existing device also sucks
This commit removes the search for stick devices and always
creates the install media through a loop as a file which
then needs to be dumped on the target device
* Mon Nov 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file, syslinux exists on ix86 and x86_64 only
* Mon Nov 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup global mount method to use the getPartDevice() function
to search for partition devices
* Mon Nov 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup setupInstallStick(), the reference to this->{loop}
might be undefined depending on the environment better use
the contents of $haveDiskDevice
* Mon Nov 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed obsolete mount code from setupInstallStick()
* 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
* Mon Nov 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added sanity check for mount() method to fail
if no source information is passed
* Fri Nov 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.27 released
* Fri Nov 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed broken postImage() filesystem check which prevented the
creation of the system image .md5 file
* Fri Nov 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.26 released
* Fri Nov 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- changed behavior of --fat-storage option. Instead of syslinux
we now use grub2 to boot from the fat partition. It has turned
out that grub2 is more stable and behaves better when using
the image on a USB stick. The grub2 theme support also makes
it easier to use custom branded boot graphics
* Fri Nov 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed cleanup of temporary copy of sysconfig/proxy. If there
is a fillup template for the file and the file hasn't changed
as part of the build process the fillup template is restored
instead of removing the file (bnc #777151)
* Thu Nov 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed logical volume name building in resizeLVMVolumes()
the function only evaluates volume names at the primary
level e.g /opt. As soon as you have a volume e.g /opt/bob
it failed to resize
* Thu Nov 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for a jump partition which is added before the
actual boot partition. This is used for grub2 efi based disk
images now. kiwi just put the created grub2 bootx64.efi module
onto the fat16 based jump partition and let grub2 read all
data from the second ext3 based boot partition. This allows
standard linux filesystem based boot partitions and it has
also turned out that this disk layout might be required for
arm based images as well. But so far this system is connected
to the efi setup only
* Thu Nov 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added parted to openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template
* Thu Nov 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in setupFilesystem() which caused a fat16 filesystem
even though a fat32 filesystem was requested.
- changed the efi boot partition type to fat16
- added ext2 modules to the bootx64.efi module
* Wed Nov 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- adapt oemboot suse/rhel-repart code to make use of the flexible
boot partition location in $kiwi_BootPart. The partition ID
stored there is used as the beginning of the partition layout.
Instead of a fixed boot partition at 1 the layout handles the
value of $kiwi_BootPart as the start. If there is no boot
partition the first partition must be the root partition as
usual.
* Wed Nov 21 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- update the driver handling for the imageConfig data structure
* take advantage of the private helper methods implemented for
package handling
* eliminates code duplication
* simplifies implementation of driver handling methods
- update the unit tests to adjust for minor differences in messages
* Wed Nov 21 2012 - praveen_paladugu@dell.com
- fixed perl dependencies in spec file for rhel/centos
- resolve suse version checking to zero if the suse_version
macro is not defined. This allows the package build going
easily also in non-suse based distros
* Wed Nov 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use new partids hash for the bootloader stage setup
setupBootLoaderStages()
* Wed Nov 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use new partids hash for the setup and installation of the
bootloaders, setupBootLoaderConfiguration() / installBootLoader()
* Wed Nov 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of filehandle in addAppdata() and collectPackages()
of the instsource media KIWICollect module
* Tue Nov 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use new partids hash to create the device map and cleanup
access to the new device map data
* Tue Nov 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure setupBootFlags also updates the .splash.gz variant of
the initrd if the function was called with the non splash (.gz)
variant of the initrd.
* Tue Nov 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed post partition size check and read-write dump if
split + lvm is used. An undefined device was used for
the check and the dump in this case
* Tue Nov 20 2012 - delgado@pre-sense.de
- allow getExecArgsFormat to parse python optparse/argparse
output. python uses the form '-o, --option' whereas we
don't expect a comma between the short and long version
- add unit test for this option format
* Tue Nov 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- check for kiwi_BootPart from new partition IDs meta data
in setupBootPartition(). This could be used to map the
boot partition to another than the first partition
* Tue Nov 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- switched oemboot boot code to make use of config.partids
* Tue Nov 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- switched vmxboot boot code to make use of config.partids
* Tue Nov 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added additional meta data file with suffix .pids. The file
contains the information about the ID/Name of the root,boot
readonly/readwrite device according to this appliance if a
virtual disk based image was requested. The information is
included as config.partids into the initrd and is used on
first boot. Rather than guessing the purpose of partitions
the initrd will now know it exactly
* Tue Nov 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed call of method textContent() on an undefined value
* Tue Nov 20 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix typo and logic error in test cases (bnc #790254)
* typo cause list comparison to fail
* logic error caused a name that should have been in he comparison
list to be omitted
* Mon Nov 19 2012 - dvaleev@suse.de
- changed spec file to be quiet on unpacking the source tarball.
During kiwi build don't list files and directories of tarball.
This floods build log pretty much.
* Mon Nov 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't fail hard if copyBootCode() cannot create e.g symlinks
on copy of the boot data. Just report that as a warning
* Mon Nov 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- if a bootfilesystem is specified it's required to check its
type prior to the creation of the partition table because it
might be required to specify a partition label according to
the selected filesystem
* Mon Nov 19 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix return values of legacy methods of the XML class, return
values as string. Older versions of the LibXML perl binding
do not have an overloaded eq operator for a NodeList where the
value of the first entry of a node can be used in a comparison.
There is however a string conversion, thus placing the nodelist
inside a string "$nl" does the trick. This fixes issues on
SLES 11 with the unit tests Related to (bnc #790254)
- update the trigger files to fix unit tets execution that was
broken when ArchiveData, IgnoreData, and ProductData were
renamed To contain the Package prefix in the name.
Related to (bnc #790254)
* Mon Nov 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file:
* update author list for kiwi-instsource
* make sure at least ext and fat filesystem creation tools
are required
* Sun Nov 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fix use of uninitialized variables
* Fri Nov 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.25 released
* Fri Nov 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- arm: removed match for image-$VERSION in suseStripKernel
* Thu Nov 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed kernel search in suseStripKernel for armv5 kernel.
There we have Image-* (with a capital 'I')
* Thu Nov 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file requirements: kiwi has a create mode runtime check
for the vgs command. Thus the kiwi package should require lvm2 to
become installed
* 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)
* Thu Nov 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use baseUpdateSysConfig() function to update variable contents
of sysconfig files as required in the suseConfig() function.
This eliminates the various sed statements here and uses one
common function for all sysconfig updates
* Tue Nov 13 2012 - bgeuken@suse.de
- Fixed regular expression for replacing HWCLOCK in clock config file
This fixes a bug that causes a wrong '--localtime' / '--utc' entry
in USE_HWCLOCK setting. This setting got introduced first with
openSUSE 12.2
* Tue Nov 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fix use of uninitialized variables
* 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)

* Sun Nov 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed build of plain bootiso/bootstick from kiwi initrd without
system image. The call kiwi --bootusb <initrd> failed to work
because it tried to access the XML description which can't
work when no system image is specified
* Fri Nov 09 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.23 released
* Fri Nov 09 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed device name setup in recovery/restore mode. kiwi assumes
an overlay setup when a second partition exists but this is not
true if the second partition is the swap space. For the initial
boot of an appliance the device setup always works but when
oemboot has created new partitions e.g swap space and the kiwi
initrd runs again in recovery/restore mode the device setup
might be broken because of another partition layout compared
to the initial state
* Fri Nov 09 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement XML data classes for elements that are children of <packages>

* Fri Nov 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed device detection in the oemboot install code. The try to
remove the boot device from the list of possible install devices.
The sed statement used here caused a broken list of the substring
also matches other devices. The fix here changes this to exactly
match the device string of the boot device and nothing else

or a product is not valid
* Mon Oct 29 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed removal of temporary boot_bind entry in fstab
* Mon Oct 29 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure proc/cmdline is there when setting up logging
* Mon Oct 29 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
* Sat Oct 27 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- update kiwi manual pages to clarify meaning of set-repo argument
- fix the behavior of the new implementation of setRepository
* replaceable is considered the default, thus replace a repo if it is
the first in line and has not status set or the status is marked
replaceable
* properly replace the first repo specified in config.xml that is
not marked "fixed". Previously the default profile would have been
the first to get a repo replaced, no matter the definition order in
config.xml
- update the unit tests
- encode the default status of replaceable in the RepositoryData object
* Fri Oct 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure repos marked as imageinclude will preserve its priority
* Fri Oct 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- changed back to clicfs for 12.2 live iso JeOS template.
I found several problems with btrfs and it's seed implementation
* the compressed read-only part needs to be bigger than the data
requires it. if this is not given adding the seed dev will fail
* when adding a ramdisk seed for the combination read-only loop
from ISO plus read-write /dev/ram (brd) block device the kernel
throws a trace from btrfs not being able to relocate sys chunks
and that 'balancing' it would solve that... which is not true
* Fri Oct 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure edit boot scripts get the executable bit set
* Fri Oct 26 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- change behavior of boolean in the XML*Data classes
* undefined attributes in the initialization of an object
remain undefined
* defined values are either 'true' or 'false'
* this change had to be made such that merging and updating
of preferences in the XML can be supported correctly
* Fri Oct 26 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add new runtime check to verify that repo aliases used are unique
this has to be a runtime check as it is valid to define repos with
the same alias as long as those repos are never used at the same
time during a build
- implement setPreferences method in the XML class
preferences will be assigned to the profile preferences that have
an existing definition, if no definition exists the setting applies
to the default preferences
- add unit test for new runtime check
- add unit test for new setPreferences method
- remove all calls to _legacy methods from the RuntimeChecker
thus the RuntimeChecker is the first using the new internal
data structure
* Thu Oct 25 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getSector to calculate with numeric values
* Thu Oct 25 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed IPC signal setup
* Thu Oct 25 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized values in KIWIBoot.pm. with
the last cleanup we use warnings for KIWIBoot now thus
we get informed about perl warnings for this module.
Along with the ongoing process of cleaning up the code
by using perl-critic other modules will follow
* Thu Oct 25 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make KIWIArch.pm perl critic level 3 clean
* Thu Oct 25 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make KIWIBoot.pm perlcritic level 4 clean
* Thu Oct 25 2012 - ms@suse.de

* Wed Oct 24 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make KIWIBoot.pm perlcritic level 5 clean
* Tue Oct 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild schema documentation
* Tue Oct 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Tue Oct 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation concerning the new installpxe attribute
* Tue Oct 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for the <type ... installpxe="true"/> attribute.
if set kiwi creates a tarball which contains all data required
to let an oem disk image to become installed via pxe. The
archive contains: kernel, initrd, system gzimage, md5sum and
kernel boot options for the append line in the pxe setup
This fixes bug (bnc #785222)
* Tue Oct 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added kiwi.pl to pre-commit check
* Tue Oct 23 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- do not support creation of a TypeData object without keyword
initialization hash. The image attribute is mandatory on the
<type> element, thus it should not be possible to construct
an object representing the element without specifying a value
for image
- add the new installpxe member to the bool keywords
- update the unit tests to handle the new condition
- add tests for new installpxe member
* Tue Oct 23 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- change the handling of booleans in the XML*Data classes
* implement __initializeBoolMembers in the base class to setup
boolean members
* modify the __setBooleanValue method such that a boolean value
is defined as a member only if it is true, this allows us to
change checks from "if ($bool && $bool eq 'true')" to simply
"if ($bool)" this is consistent with general language
conventions
* Mon Oct 22 2012 - toganm@opensuse.org
- Emacs mode fix:
Fix typos in the suse-start-kiwi-xmllocator. Rather than
blindly adding suffixes to nxml-mode just add kiwi suffix
to include to the auto-mode-list
* Mon Oct 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed unit test kiwiXML.pm:test_addRepositoriesExistPrefLic.
The test checks for duplicate preference license indicator but
adds an invalid bool value for the attribute. Thus kiwi complains
about the invalid value and not about the duplicate indicator
* Mon Oct 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added 'imageinclude' to supportedKeywords in KIWIXMLRepositoryData
to become checked by base class code in KIWIXMLDataBase. Additionally
removed obsolete and commented out code from KIWIXMLDataBase
constructor
* Fri Oct 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.19 released
* Fri Oct 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added central deactivateVolumeGroup and activateVolumeGroup
functions and make sure all udev events are processed before
activating/deactivating a volume group
* Fri Oct 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed resizeFilesystem() function:
* don't create INITRD_MODULES list here, this caused multiple entries
* use separate mount point not /mnt for temporary mount on resize
* make sure all udev events are processed before resize
* Fri Oct 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed __checkKernelVersionToolExists runtime check.
kiwi provides the tool itself thus it's always there
* Fri Oct 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.18 released
* Fri Oct 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make path check in KIWIURL more robust

* use base class infrastructure for the preferlicense member
- update unit tests accordingly
* Fri Oct 19 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement __hasInitArg in the XMLDataBase class
* this allows children that should not be constructed without an
initialization argument to complain in a consistent way it the
arg is missing
- update ProfileData to use new method in base class
- clean up DescriptionData implementation
* do not support construction without arg
: eliminates need for object consistency check
* make setters consistent in behavior with other *Data class setters
- revamp the DescriptionData unit tests
* test structure consistent with other tests for XML*Data tests
* smaller tests, better coverage
* Thu Oct 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed grub2 setup. If the root filesystem is LVM based grub2
can't read e.g the fonts from this device. Thus this patch
ensure all required theme data incl. the unicode font is part
of the boot device
* Thu Oct 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use the setupFileSystem function to create the boot filesystem
this is done for code cleanup and also to prepare the code for
setting up a custom boot partition filesystem. At the moment
the boot filesystem is bound to which bootloader is in use but
e.g for arm boxes the same bootloader might require different
boot filesystems, thus this could become an option in kiwi
* Thu Oct 18 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add tests to run when the XML class changes. Previous update
had an issue that was found by a unit test that was not
automatically run from the triggers
* Wed Oct 17 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed copyBootCode to work if no boot partition is used
* Wed Oct 17 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement a ProfileData object
* while profile data was already included in the new data structure,
information about this data was not returned as an object. This
change addresses this outstanding issue
* implement unit tests for the new object
* update the XML object to integrate the ProfileData class
* update the XML unit test
- change all XML*Data classes to be children on XMLDataBase and
update unit tests to handle new initialization and new error
conditions and error messages
* Tue Oct 16 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- change __setDefaultType() to meet the following conditions:
* if a type is marked primary within the selected profiles
it is the default type
* if no type is marked primary then the first type of the default
<preferences> section (the one not assigned to a specific profile)
becomes the default type; should the default <preferences> have
no type than the first type of the first profile bound preferences
section is the default type
- add test cases to verify this behavior
* Tue Oct 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added perl-Readonly requirement to spec file
* Tue Oct 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed kernel version tool to work with uImage files
* Tue Oct 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use kiwi's kversion tool instead of get_kernel_version to
let other distros also be part of the game
* Mon Oct 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup volume size calculation to be more readable
* Mon Oct 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed broken symlink when creating tbz images

* Fri Oct 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- arm: fixed JeOS uboot-setup.tgz:setupUBoot.sh. when calling
code via runHook the first parameter is the name of the hook
thus I had to shift all params by one
* Fri Oct 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.16 released
* Fri Oct 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed reading search path for custom boot config scripts.
The information of the origin path of the image description
is read from the image/main::Prepare file stored in the
unpacked root tree. Within KIWIBoot the reading of that file
should be done inside the constructor when the XML data
is read from the unpacked tree. That way the path is consistent
for the life time of the object and needs to be read only
once.
* Fri Oct 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in message string, obsolete '\n'
* Fri Oct 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed kiwi --installcd mode and the global mount() method
in general to know about LVM disks. In this case the mount
has to activate the volume group in order to access the
devices inside. The code to do this was in the checkLVMbind
method in KIWIBoot but it is required before in the mount()
method in KIWIGlobals
* Thu Oct 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of .profile KIWI_LVM_LV* variables if no
size is set for the volume
* Thu Oct 11 2012 - ms@suse.de

* Fri Oct 05 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.15 released
* Fri Oct 05 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setup of dmraid devices. A new function called
identifyDMRaid() has been added which searches for
mapped dmraid disks and also removes the devices which
belongs to the raid from the list of install disks
* Thu Oct 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed grub2 setup to correctly distinguish the efi and non
efi config files for dual boot of install iso images
* Tue Oct 02 2012 - dvaleev@suse.de
- ppc: fix install iso blessing. In order to have installation
CD/DVD bootable on PowerMac the suseboot directory must be
blessed correctly. The situation was that -hfs-bless looks
for the first directory and tries to bless required subdir.
But in case required subdir is in the second directry,
nothing got blessed. So let's switch the order.
* Tue Oct 02 2012 - dvaleev@suse.de
- ppc: don't hardcode volume id. The volume ID is hardcoded
to the value of 'FIXME'. Use createVolumeID function to
create dynamic volume ID. Something like openSUSE 12.2 1
where 1 is the media number
* Tue Oct 02 2012 - ms@suse.de

missing data when using a cache. I have moved all profiled
bootstrap sections to type="image"
* Tue Sep 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- moved from ext2/dm-snapshot cache system to btrfs seed (bnc #764042)

sys __clean_loop has to take care to release sys before umount
of the loop
* Sat Sep 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- 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)
* Fri Sep 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.04.10 released
* Fri Sep 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup installBootLoader() function. There is one way to setup
the boot device and not the mess I created before.
- added helper function __getPartDevice() which finds the correct
block device for a partition if you give it the disk device
and the partition number
* Fri Sep 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file. Added PreReq for kiwi-pxeboot and kiwi-templates

* Fri Sep 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- call editbootconfig script at the end of setupBootLoaderConfiguration
and not at the beginning of installBootLoader. That's because there
is one step in between which could break otherwise. Also make sure
the script is searched in the original image description path
* Fri Sep 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- arm: kernel-firmware does not exist there
* Fri Sep 14 2012 - ms@suse.de

* Thu Sep 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use 512MB instead of 128MB for xen domU examples
* Thu Sep 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed __uniqueInPackages() function. It's not a good idea to
grep via a regexp for duplicate entries. That's because if
characters which have a special meaning in a regexp are part
of the name it leads to invalid matching results. I thought I
could fix this by using the quotemeta call but it has turned
out that it does not quote with respect to the special meaning
of characters for regular expressions. What we really want
here is a dumb string match for duplicate entries.
* Thu Sep 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- finally fixed xen boot with grub2. Problem was the missing
gzio module which is required to read the signatured from
the compressed (xen.gz) hypervisor
* Wed Sep 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- arm: moved uboot related code into custom scripts outside
of the kiwi code. The arm JeOS image template served as
example for the uboot setup on panda/efika and beagle
boards
* Wed Sep 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- arm: remove kernel profiles from arm boot image descriptions.
handle the kernel as bootincluded package from the system
image description. See the example JeOS image for reference
* Wed Sep 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added new option '--edit-bootinstall <file>' and the XML
attribute <type ... editbootinstall="file"/> which allows to
run a script after the bootloader was installed. This
allows custom changes to the bootloader installation.
follow up change for (bnc #667950)
* 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
- fixed check for duplicate packages. The check fails if
quotable characters are part of the package name e.g
bonnie++ with bonnie is ok

- archive image data with subfolder
* Thu Sep 06 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 use of obsolete buildImageName() function and
change to generateBuildImageName from the global space
* Thu Sep 06 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement new classes for processing imageConfig data structure

- added two device checks for the list of disks reported by
hwinfo which are used as possible install targets. First
check is to read one byte from the device to find out if
it's really possible to access it. Second check is to find
the device specific serial number. Devices which are only
mapped like lvm disks would appear multiple times but there
is only one origin device which provides a serial string
* Mon Sep 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added Emacs kiwi XML editing support. For details see:

- fixed KIWIGlobal::mount() function to correctly identify a clicfs
image as filesystem image and not as a disk
* Fri Aug 31 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed validation of kiwirevision attribute. The kiwi revision
as it is defined in /usr/share/kiwi/.revision is not a number.
Thus the XML schema should not require a number
* Fri Aug 31 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed system theme configuration for plymouth/grub2
* make sure kiwi writes the plymouth theme setup to
/etc/plymouth/plymouth.conf. looks like the initrd
creation tool of the distro uses the information
from this file
* make sure kiwi writes the grub2 theme setup to
/etc/default/grub. when using grub2-mkconfig this seems
to be required
* Thu Aug 30 2012 - ms@suse.de

final version of 12.2 allows console access after some
time

- fixed grub2 install if in targetdevice/targetstudio mode
when using a real disk device the bindloop variable
was not set because no partition binding is required

dom0 appliances booting via grub2
* Tue Aug 28 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove duplicate implementation of profile setting
* the setSelectionProfiles() and setActiveProfileNames() methods
implemented the same functionality. The new method
setSelectionProfileNames() is now the singular implementation of this
functionality.
* relocate the new method into the block that separates code using the
imageConfig data structure (this should avoid duplicate implementation
in the future).
- fix up the XML unit test to handle the new split for bootsplash and
bootloader theme settings
* 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
* Tue Aug 28 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild schema documentation

* Tue Aug 28 2012 - ms@suse.de
- split <boot-theme> setup into <bootloader-theme> and <bootsplash-theme>
elements. This allows to have different theme values for splash and
bootloader as it could appear with the plymouth and grub2.
Additionally people are more flexible when providing custom
branding data for either splash or the bootloader (bnc #777599)
* Tue Aug 28 2012 - ms@suse.de
- unset *ROOT variables from config.mac if set via cmdline (bnc #777578)

* Thu Aug 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- validate templates and examples
* Thu Aug 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- update openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template. For some reason a dependency
to kernel-debug exists when building openSUSE 12.2 images. If not
specified explicitly this is an unwanted package thus I added it
to the packages marked for deletion
* Wed Aug 22 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement the new getRepositories method
* will replace getRepositories_legacy()
* returns array ref of KIWIXMLRepositoryData objects

dumpInternalXMLDescription and add the call as a comment
to the code. Unfortunately added a loginfo message as
part of the KIWIXML constructor causes many unit tests
to fail
* Tue Aug 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use perl's data dumper to print the new internal
imageConfig data structure to the log file

* Wed Aug 15 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- changed behavior of setActiveProfileNames
* when called with no argument this now resets that active profiles to
the setting in the XML file. This type of dual behavior is somewhat
evil from an OO perspective an dit may prove better to implement a
resetActiveProfiles() in the future, we'll see how it turns out.
- implement unit test for addDrivers method
* Tue Aug 14 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement getArch/setArch methods
* allows to have influence on the architecture specific information for
retrieval and addition of data to the XML object
- refractor the valid profile names check into a private method
* verification of proper profile names is needed in 2 routines now and
will be needed in any method that allows addition of profile
specific information to the XML

* this allows to addDriver data to the XML, this completes the tie-in
of the KIWIXMLDriverData object into the new structure
- unit tests for get/setArch
* Mon Aug 13 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- rename addDrivers to addDrivers_legacy
* this is in preparation for further integration of the new data structure
- implement getActiveProfileNames and setActiveProfileNames
* with the XML restructure the constructor args will be reduced to just
the validated XML, thus client code of the XML must have a way to set
what profiles are active for information retrieval.
- implement unit tests for the {g,s}etActiveProfileNames methods
* Mon Aug 13 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix type for default profile in driver data population code
* drivers were added to the "wrong" profile due to the type.
This incorrect profile was not accessed and thus the information
got lost
- integrate new KIWIXMLDriverData class into KIWIXML implementation
* rename getDriversNodeList to getDriversNodeList_legacy to
indicate that this method is deprecated

this is needed for system migration when the configuration is
created from scratch
* Mon Aug 13 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com

to properly handle cases where oops and other message states
over lap.
* Sun Aug 12 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement a KIWIXMLFileData class
* this class is intended to be an abstract base class for any xml section
that uses the <file> element. It stores the name and arch attributes
of the <file> element. The class provides get and set methods.
- implement a KIWIXMLDriverData class
* this class is derived from the KIWIXMLFileData class and will be used
to store the information provided in the <drivers> section.
- implement unit test for KIWIXMLFileData
- implement unit test for KIWIXMLDriverData
- fix-up the pre-commit hook to register the code and set the Perl-critic
severity levels, all new code (spare the .t files) is level 2 clean
- add the trigger files and adjust existing trigger files to run the test
on commit
* Sun Aug 12 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- unit tests for new uniqueness check for archives, packages, and patterns
* Sun Aug 12 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add uniqueness checks for packages, archives, and patterns
* Thu Aug 09 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use device from device map only if it exists
* Thu Aug 09 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed obsolete internal data $this->{bootpart}. the boot
partition is always the first partition. Since that change
this value is no longer useful
* Fri Aug 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed hybrid persistent mode when btrfs seed device is used.
Unfortunately we are then running into the loop device bug
mentioned in (bnc #764042). I hope this gets fixed soon in the

* Fri Aug 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- update rhel-* oemboot code to the current suse-* oemboot code
* Fri Aug 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- changed support for dropbear ssh. we don't provide our own
keypair but allow to integrate a user public key from the
pxe server. The key must be stored in <server-root>/KIWI
and has to be named: debug_ssh.pub. for the default tftp
download method this would result in the following path
on the pxe server: /srv/tftpboot/KIWI/debug_ssh.pub
* Thu Aug 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- update size for btrfs filesystem when building JeOS 12.2 iso
* Thu Aug 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- remove cached repos for a new build. The repo setup for the
package managers smart and yum are cleaned up at the end of
each build by resetInstallationSource(). For zypper we makes
an exception here and keep the repo setup for performance
reasons. Thus at the beginning a a new prepare run we should
clean up the repo files to rebuild the repos as they are
specified in the kiwi XML description
* Thu Aug 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- moved startDropBear() prior to the ELOG_BOOTSHELL check
* Thu Aug 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed rpmlint warnings about hidden and empty files
* Thu Aug 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure dropbear keys are installed with correct permissions
* Tue Jul 31 2012 - ms@suse.de
- 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)
* Tue Jul 31 2012 - ms@suse.de
- changed the suse-12.2 JeOS template provided by kiwi to
switch from clicfs to the new btrfs seed way (bnc #764042)
* Tue Jul 31 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for btrfs seed live ISO images. btrfs supports a
nice COW machinery which allows us to point all write operations
to a seed device. A similar technique is used with the clicfs
filesystem but this one works in userspace via fuse. I have
changed the suse-12.2 JeOS template provided by kiwi to use the
new btrfs seed way. Of course the clicfs way also still exists.
In order to use btrfs seed devices your iso type should look
like the following example:
<type image="iso" ... flags="seed" fsmountoptions="compress=lzo">
<size unit="M">400</size>
</type>
I got best results with lzo compression. One downside; up to now
it's not possible to forecast/calculate how much size the btrfs
image really will need. Thus the calculation kiwi does is in most
cases too big for small images and for big ones sometimes too
little. At the moment it's a try and error game to find
out the minimum required size.
The implementation add a ramdisk device as seed device to the
btrfs mount and remount it read-write. This has worked fine
and stable with the openSUSE 12.2 kernel (bnc #764042)
* Tue Jul 31 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getSize and getBlocks functions to calculate with
integer values. In addition to that the value of getBlocks
was formerly passed to a dd call but this has changed to a
qemu-img call. the seek value in the prior dd call was
offset -1 which is wrong when using qemu-img
* Tue Jul 31 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for filesystem mount options during image
build and later to become stored in the fstab file. The
type attribute <type ... fsmountoptions="..."/> has been
added, this is related to (bnc #764042)
* Mon Jul 30 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't create an instance of KIWILog other than the
global one in: KIWILocator,KIWIRuntimeChecker and

- v5.04.01 released
* Sat Jul 28 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- implement the getDescriptionInfo method in the XML object.
The method uses the new KIWIXMLDescriptionData object, which
gets created based on the data in the imageConfig datastructure
- implement unit test for the getDescriptionInfo method
* Fri Jul 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed split setup when no persistent data is configured.
In this case there is no read-write portion which caused
an error on creation of the split disk
* Thu Jul 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- read reference mbrid file from inside the initrd and not from
the attached disk devices. The matching of the ID must happen
by a reference value from the loaded initrd and the data read
from the MBR of all attached disks
- make sure a new mbrid is written for disk based installation
images created when installstick="true" is set.
- identify the disk installation device via the same method used
to identify the bios boot device: searchBIOSBootDevice.
This allows to put disk install media not only on USB sticks
but also on e.g SD cards or other disk devices
- fixed grub2 setup for graphics boot of disk based
installation images
- set kernel log level to 6 by default
- make sure mbrid exists in initrd for disk images.
This is done by the new setupBootFlags function
* Thu Jul 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- perform a qualified import of KIWIQX in kiwi.pl
* Wed Jul 25 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of install sticks without system image
* Mon Jul 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- store the mbrid file in /boot and not in /boot/grub. The location
is misleading if another than the grub bootmanager is used
* Fri Jul 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- add initial new-root directories according to the
used package manager (bnc #743844)
* Thu Jul 19 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com

- add new object KIWIXMLDescriptionData which provides
get/set methods for the <description> element
* Wed Jul 18 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add an oops method to the test log
* this implements the oops interface of the KIWILog object to
allow unit tests to handle this condition

- fixed grub2 chainloader setup
* Wed Jul 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed mkisofs application ID setup when calling kiwi --installcd manually
* Wed Jul 18 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- New consistency check for package specification
* At present the user can specify packages to be installed for
a given image type even if this image type is not defined.
While the packages get ignored and no harm is done, the
superfluous specification is confusing and the XML definition
is for all intent and purposes inconsistent.
- Unit tests for new consistency check
* Wed Jul 18 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix validation test configuration files to meet new stricter
consistency requirements
* Wed Jul 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for EFI boot with grub2 for install ISO media
live iso media is still not EFI capable. In order to use
EFI boot you have to bootinclude the grub2-efi package:
<packages type="image">
<package name="grub2-efi" bootinclude="true"/>
...
<packages/>
kiwi will check if there are efi modules inside the initrd and
will then setup either a multiboot (iso) or plain gpt based
image (bnc #771327)
* Wed Jul 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- show ssh login message only if an ip address was assigned
* Wed Jul 18 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)
* Wed Jul 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for EFI boot with grub2 for the disk based
image types oem and vmx (bnc #771327)
* Tue Jul 17 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed check for disk in main::mount() function. searching for
the string 'boot sector' also applies to the file output from
a boot partition. The patch will call blkid on the given file
or device and assumes a disk if no block id information exists
* Mon Jul 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Mon Jul 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, add some information about the
clic_udf feature as well as the support for ssh into the
boot image. Also removed some obsolete data about aufs
* Mon Jul 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for ssh access into the boot image (initrd). Of
course this requires an active network connection which is by
design possible in the netboot and oemboot (in PXE boot mode)
boot images. So the following is not supported for the isoboot
and vmxboot boot images because they don't setup a network.
The feature is based on the dropbear ssh server because it's
so small to fit into an initrd. In order to have dropbear in
the boot image you have to add the following to the system
image configuration:
<packages type="image">
<package name="dropbear" bootinclude="true"/>
</packages>
and make sure one of your repos provides it. It's required to
be in debug mode to be able to access the initrd. Thus you
have to boot with 'kiwidebug=1' enabled. In order to access
the initrd passwordless via ssh kiwi provides a key pair
whereas the pubkey is stored in the authorized_keys file
inside the oem- and netboot images for all supported OS
versions:
ssh -i /usr/share/kiwi/keys/id_dropbear root@<ip>
For openSUSE >= 12.2 rsync is available in the netboot and
oemboot boot images. For older versions it might be required
to add tool packages bootincluded to be able to extract
data from the boot image via ssh easily. In order to copy
e.g the boot log file the following command can be used
if rsync exists in the boot image:
RSYNC_RSH='ssh -i /usr/share/kiwi/keys/id_dropbear -l root'
rsync -avz <ip>:/var/log/boot.kiwi .
* Mon Jul 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed copy of overlay files for boot images (initrd). make
sure hidden files like e.g root/.ssh are handled correctly
* Mon Jul 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- avoid double slashes (//) in zypper repo files
* Sat Jul 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- follow up fix for the change of the zypper repo handling. The
repo meta data will stay on the host again but is going to
be re-used to prevent unneeded reloading of repo metadata
* Fri Jul 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file to write openSUSE instead of OpenSuSE (bnc #770825)
* Fri Jul 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- changed the way how zypper repos are used. move the repo data
including cache data into the image root directory instead of
storing this information in /var/cache/kiwi/zypper on the build
host. On the build host we only store a shared package cache
in /var/cache/kiwi/packages. This allows to keep the repo meta
data per image and thus it can be re-used on operations like
kiwi --upgrade which speed up the build as this is called as
part of the the kiwi --create step too
* Fri Jul 13 2012 - adrian@suse.de
- map openSUSE 12.3 to 12.2 configs for now
- reformated spec file by current spec_file_formater
* Fri Jul 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added kernel boot option 'disableProgressInfo=1' which allows
to deactivate the progress information when the image download
or install starts (bnc #771104)
* Thu Jul 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for live systems larger than 4G by using the
udf filesystem. In order to active this make sure you have
set flags="clic_udf" (bnc #770703)
* Thu Jul 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of grub2, with version 2.x there is no grub2-setup

- v5.03.30 released
* Fri Jul 06 2012 - ms@suse.de
- netboot: fixed openSUSE 12.2 boot image description. bootstrap
was only applied to in diskless profile mode. This leed to missing
tools like gettext and dialog for all other profiles even the
default profile
* Fri Jul 06 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file: netboot and isoboot needs virt-utils
additionally does isoboot need e2fsprogs
* Wed Jul 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.29 released
* Wed Jul 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't remove rpm and fonts required in the pxe examples
* Wed Jul 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added missing fonts and X11 input packages to pxe 12.1 example
* Tue Jul 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- libproxy reads the data from /etc/sysconfig/proxy. Thus it's
required to hold a temporary copy of that file inside the chroot
to make use of proxy settings while operating in the chroot
* Mon Jul 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.28 released
* Mon Jul 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure possible proxy setting is transfered to the kiwi chroot
* Mon Jul 02 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add profile handling in new data structure to handle XML data
* This is the beginning of the XML object restructuring effort as
dicussed on the list. This initial commit in the series adds the
members for the new data structure and ties parts of the profile
handling code to the new implementation.
* Mon Jul 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't call resetBootBind using chroot to workaround (bnc #769634)
* Sat Jun 30 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- make kiwi_default a reserved profile name
* for the new data structure for XML processing we need a profile
name to store unqualified data, this name was chosen to be
kiwi_default. Therefore this is a reserved name and users may not
use it as a profile name.
* Fri Jun 29 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.27 released
* Fri Jun 29 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed hybrid persistent writing with kernel 3.x (bnc #769086)
* 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.
* Thu Jun 28 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix the getPXEDeployConfiguration unit test on ppc and ppc64
* Wed Jun 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- zypper in 12.2 has been fixed now, so we can change back the
JeOS image template to the type="image" installation
* Wed Jun 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.26 released
* Wed Jun 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added patterns for removal of unused files/dirs which
appears along with systemd,grub2,plymouth and are not
required inside the initrd
* Wed Jun 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed evaluation of glob patterns in kiwi_strip_delete
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- remove references to splashy from initrd
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- the post install script from grub2-branding-openSUSE creates
a background.png file in /boot. We have to preserve all data
created in /boot because the extractKernel() function moves
out all the data here from the initrd
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- hide plymouth splash when throwing an exception
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed evaluation of bootincluded packages in type
specific packages sections
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- update openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template. With 12.2 the switch to
grub2 was made but the grub2-branding-openSUSE package only
provides grub2 theming information. Thus for building non
grub2 based images like isolinux based live systems the
former gfxboot-branding-openSUSE data has to be present.
Because of this the openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template includes
now image type specific packages sections to select the
correct branding package
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make grub2 theming data available in the initrd
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed string validation in info message in KIWICollect so
that it actually shows the content of $metapack
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- remove import of graphics boot 'message' file when using grub2
In order to support custom branding in kiwi for grub it worked
the way that one provides the theme data and together with
gfxboot-devel a special formatted 'message' file was created and
stored inside the initrd. The setupBootLoaderStages() function
then imported that file to the system image. In grub2 the theme
data is just fonts and png's and there is no creation of a
special graphics format required.
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- hide plymouth splash when showing a dialog
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- switched to grub2-branding-openSUSE for openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- grub2 can handle real spaces in menu items, yeah :)
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added grub2 theme support for the openSUSE theme layout
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- better info message when --targetstudio option is used
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- provide ROOTFS_BLKDEV before calling init/systemd
- don't export variables used by the boot scripts in the
cleanImage function. This function is called in an extra
shell process thus exporting back is not possible
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed resizeFilesystem to prefer btrfs over btrfsctl
* Tue Jun 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added variable kiwi_cpio_name which allows to access the name
of the initrd image from within the initrd. This is currently
used to distinguish the initrd by the type of the distro
* Mon Jun 25 2012 - ms@suse.de
- netboot: improved testing for networks by using -T option
* Mon Jun 25 2012 - ms@suse.de

- preserve missing btrfs tools
* Mon Jun 25 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- indicate check failure through return value (undef)
* we should have it correct now. Previously a 1 was returned,
indicating success. This change returns no value on failure
to indicate the failed state of the check.
* Sat Jun 23 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.25 released
* Sat Jun 23 2012 - ms@suse.de

* Fri Jun 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.24 released
* Fri Jun 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure getExecPath() also works when invoked as non root
user. It's required that PATH contains /sbin to locate
binaries used by kiwi with the 'which' tool. This problem
appeared when calling the unit tests as non root user like
the buildservice does when building packages, thus this fixes
the build
* Fri Jun 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.23 released
* Fri Jun 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed boot logging, make sure the log continues after
switching to the real root filesystem
* Fri Jun 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added runtime check for get_kernel_version binary. This is
a suse only extension so when running on other build hosts
it should be checked if it's there.
* Fri Jun 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added uninstall target to Makefile
* Fri Jun 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make udevStart() aware of alternative location for udevd binary
* Fri Jun 22 2012 - ms@suse.de

distros which already moved from module-init-tools to kmod
* Fri Jun 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed udevSystemStart / udevSystemStop to check which system
service manager can be used to run the service
* Fri Jun 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed kernel sysconfig template check, that's a suse only
check and even we change our own names all the time
* Thu Jun 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.22 released
* Thu Jun 21 2012 - rneuhauser@suse.cz
- kiwi.pl: simpler date(1) use.
calling 'date -I' is insensitive to locale which means:
* LANG=POSIX is not needed, thus
* explicit bash invocation is not needed (it was there
because the syntax for setting env. vars varies among
shells
* Thu Jun 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed date call in usage() function to work with native qx
* Thu Jun 21 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- clean up to perl critic level 4
- disable the brief file open/close check
* this check is unreliable when using multiple open/close
constructs in one routine.
* Thu Jun 21 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove duplicate implementation of method to get a list of packages
marked for boot inclusion. The methods getListBootIncludes() and
getBootIncludes() used to implement the same functionality. This
update removes the getListBootIncludes() method.
* Thu Jun 21 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add profile handling verification to the package and type unit tests
* Thu Jun 21 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add additonal condition to avoid warning
* At present it is possible to trigger a "uninitialized value" warning
when calling the addPackages() method, if not all packages that are
to be added are boot included. This change fixes this issue.
* Wed Jun 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file, require grub2 for >= openSUSE 12.2

- do not attempt to normalize a path that has not been defined to begin with
* Wed Jun 20 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- clean to perlcritic level 4
* critic exception around the unify function
* style clean up to more closely resemble the rest of kiwi code
* Wed Jun 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added get_kernel_version source into kiwi git. We might want
to install this tool on distros which doesn't provide it
* Wed Jun 20 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- modify the default critic policy for brief open
* by default a close() is expected within 9 lines of an open call.
Accounting for potential kiwi logging information and other coding
constructs we use this is ofetn insufficient. Therefore a line limit of
15 is a bit more reasonable for the kiwi code base
* Wed Jun 20 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add XML unit tests for type handling
* Wed Jun 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use strip section in RHEL JeOS template to remove some
unneded data not required in the initrd
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.21 released
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- remove bootsplash from the delete section in the openSUSE 12.2
boot image descriptions, bootsplash is no longer installed thus
it doesn't make sense to list it in the delete sections
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure JeOS for 12.2 installs glibc-locale
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- small cleanup for info message
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- update JeOS 12.2 image description, install in bootstrap because
zypper in 12.2 is so flaky and bugy throwing segfaults all the
time and nobody cares about it :(
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added grub2 to openSUSE 12.2 boot image descriptions

* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed grub2-mkimage call, target format of core image must be set
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- add plymouth to JeOS image description
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup list of image packages selected in the openSUSE 12.2
boot image descriptions. The ones removed here were already
installed by the selection/requirements of the bootstrap
packages section
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- switched from bootsplash to plymouth splash screen in the
openSUSE 12.2 JeOS template
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added required plymouth packages to boot descriptions
for openSUSE 12.2
* Tue Jun 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for plymouth splash system
* 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
- remove references to splashy
* Fri Jun 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.20 released

- additional unit tests for package handling in the XML object
* Fri Jun 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added lxc as a recommended package to the spec file
* Fri Jun 15 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- rename the getTypeList method to getTypeSpecificPackageList
* the method returns a list of packages for the given image build
type. This was not obvious from the previous method name.
* Fri Jun 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- call images.sh and config.sh scripts in a contained environment
using LXC. The function callContained() will use lxc if it is
installed on the build host machine. If it is not there or
lxc-execute cannot be called the function switches to the legacy
chroot method. Using a container to call custom scripts provides
more protection against the nasty things one can do in a script
with root permission
* Thu Jun 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't umount dev and sys filesystems in umountSystemFileSystems
this is done by kiwi in the cleanup phase
* Thu Jun 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed logging, use only one global log object which is used
by all objects to make sure all messages end up in the same
log file
* Thu Jun 14 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- more unit tests for XML
* Thu Jun 14 2012 - ms@suse.de

- 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
- added function umountSystemFileSystems() which is used
to umount system filesystems like proc within the given
root tree. This is called after a custom script call to
cleanup the environment
* Wed Jun 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- s390: fixed normalizeRepartInput to work with fdasd
* Wed Jun 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- provide a pointer to the xml to createImageFormat() which
allows to only create the machine configuration without
direct access to the image file for reading the xml data
* Wed Jun 13 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- clean the unit test implementations to perlcritic level 4
* Wed Jun 13 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- switch back to perl-Test-Unit
* the package has been fixed and is back in factory/oS 12.2
* Wed Jun 13 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- set the db45-utils package as recommend for openSUSE 12.1 and later
* at present a user running into a rpm db incompatibility issue may get
an error message that the db45_load tool is not available. This leaves
the user with no idea where the tool may be found. Unfortunately the
command-not-found utility does not turn up the command either. Setting
the package as recommends increases the chance that it will be installed
when KIWI packages get installed.
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- overlooked one format conversion call and make them skip
if in --targetstudio mode
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed building of md5 sum and compressed image when
in --targetstudio mode. In this mode we don't dump
an image from the generated target device, thus the
building of the md5 sum and the compressed version of
the image must access the device
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - adrian@suse.de
- require u-boot-tools for oem images on arm
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- instead of skipping the entire format conversion when in
--targetstudio mode we only skip the creation of the format
but not the meta data which belongs to it
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- skip format conversion when in --targetstudio mode
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove duplicate implementation of buildImageName method
* the buildImageName was implemented in the XML and the Image
object. This change removes the duplicate implementation and
moves the method with the generateBuildImageName into the
Global object. It is expected that a better place will be
found eventually.
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't use value of --targetstudio when building iso images
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed --targetdevice mode to work with NBD/AoE devices as well.
if a network block device receives a partition table there is
no automatic creation creation of devices per partition. Thus
it's required to call kpartx to bind those devices prior to
using it
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- additional unit tests for package handling
- skip tests that require network access
- fix up tests to verify network resolve for local test runs
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add Environment variable to allow tests that require network access to
be skipped in OBS
* Tue Jun 12 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- make resolveLink and resolveArchitecture "private"
* these methods should not be called from outside of the XML object,
and most likely this should not be here to begin with
* Mon Jun 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- 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
- don't use dd when reading data from a disk block device
use qemu-img convert instead which takes care for sparse
information
* Mon Jun 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- setupEncoding ist not called if a targetdevice is specified
instead of the standard loop device operations. Thus luks
extension together with --targetdevice did not work. This
patch fixes it
* Mon Jun 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- call fdasd relatively and not with absolute path
* Mon Jun 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- remove logging of hijacked studio commands
* Mon Jun 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- allow createImageXFS to work with a target device
* Mon Jun 11 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- unit tests for XML object verifying package, pattern, and archive handling
* Fri Jun 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.16 released
* Fri Jun 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed the ZYPP_ARIA2C=0 'hack' which is there only because
of a bug in aria2c we'd better fix aria2c instead of maintaining
a workaround for that inside kiwi.
* Fri Jun 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure timezone package is installed as part of the bootstrap
installations. zypper in openSUSE 12.2 crashes if it can't
find /etc/localtime. A bug for this problem has been opened.
As it seems zypper requires a timezone we should make sure
to install one from within bootstrap
* Fri Jun 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.15 released
* Fri Jun 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- Revert "- the env setting ZYPP_ARIA2C=0 caused a segmentation fault"
problem is that this change caused other unexpected behavior in
zypper :( I will investigate more here
* This reverts commit 31e0d0cadfdc9f678e9675754e83674054d29d83
* Fri Jun 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- just found out that also obs:// URL's doesn't work for
plain package building inside the buildservice. So I had
to change the unit tests again
* Fri Jun 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- the env setting ZYPP_ARIA2C=0 caused a segmentation fault
for zypper in openSUSE 12.2. I think if there is a bug in
aria2c we'd better fix aria2c instead of work around that
inside kiwi. Therefore I removed this 'hack'
* Fri Jun 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't use remote URL's other than obs:// in the unit tests
the buildservice refused to resolve them so the unit tests
works locally but not during build, thus the package build
fails
* Fri Jun 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.14 released
* Thu Jun 07 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- unit test for prefer-license attribute setting unique requirement
* Thu Jun 07 2012 - dmajda@suse.cz
- Fixed deleting of /usr/lib/gconv content in baseStripLocales
The "find" command in baseStripLocales finds not only files
in /usr/lib/gconv, but also the directory itself which cannot
be removed by the call of 'rm' in that case
* Thu Jun 07 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- check that the prefer-license attribute is set to true only once
* if the attribute is set to true multiple times it results in an
ambiguity that cannot be resolved. As the outcome of the image build
is indeterminate in this case we need to error out of the process.
* Wed Jun 06 2012 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup kernel profiles: For openSUSE -base is a subset of !-base
* Wed Jun 06 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.
* Wed Jun 06 2012 - ms@suse.de
- 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)
* Wed Jun 06 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild schema documentation

* Wed Jun 06 2012 - ms@suse.de
- apply stylesheet conversion from schema 5.3 to 5.4
* Wed Jun 06 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added xsl stylesheet which removes the type attribute
from the <drivers> sections and also increases the
schema version from 5.3 to 5.4
* Wed Jun 06 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- rename addRepository to addRepositories

attribute in the drivers sections
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't evaluate type of drivers sections. There is only
type 'drivers' now available
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - ms@suse.de
- remove use of netdrivers,scsidrivers,usbdrivers typed
drivers sections and merge them into one section
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - ms@suse.de

* Tue Jun 05 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add unit tests for repo handling in the XML object
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add argument check to addRepository() method
at present it is possible to attempt to add a repository with
an invalid type. This may lead to unpredictable behavior during
build. While the type is verified when given on the command line,
the additional validation is needed for migration when we add
repos from a running system.
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add log message for repository replacement
at present no message is issued if a replacable
repository is replaced with a new repository
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add info message when repositories are being ignored
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add doc string to the prefer-license attribute in the
schema documentation. Previously there was no documentation
and the name was not necessarily obviously implying the
intension of the attribute.
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- added unit tests for:
* getStripNodeList() method of XML object
* getConfigName() method of XML object
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- comment out variable that is only used for debug printing
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- rename of functions:
* getNodeList() to getRepoNodeList()
the getNodeList name is too generic and does not indicate by name
what can be expected about the information returned by the method
* getRepository() method to getRepositories()
the method returns all repository information, thus this should be
reflected in the method name
* Tue Jun 05 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update schema documentation
include info about new <defaultprebuilt> XML element
* Mon Jun 04 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- do not call the test log internal __reset() method.
calling __reset() would ignore any potential other states and
therefore would ignore potential error conditions. Calling
getState() instead and ignoring the returned value ensures
that only one state is set in the log as expected after
calling the getErrorState() method.
* Mon Jun 04 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com

message data thus it needs a reset to prevent after
effects in subsequent tests
* Sun Jun 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- perl Test::Unit doesn't work for 12.2 anymore. Other than
that is's unmaintained since 2005. Therefore we switch to
Test::Unit::Lite which is also not really maintained but at

test to verify that the combination of "size" and "freespace"
on the <volume> element is rejected.
* Thu May 31 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- do not allow the use of the "size" and "freespace" attributes
in combination. At present a user can specify both the "size"
and "freespace" attributes on the <volume> element. In this
case the setting of the "freespace" attribute is ignored,
therefore allowing the combination of the attributes is
misleading and should be disallowed

- fix addStrip method of XML object
* when adding new strip information we need to check if an element
with the given type already exists, if yes the information needs
to be added to the existing type. If a new element is added with
the same type as an existing element the getStrip*()
implementations will not return the correct information.
This is a latent bug.
* also added a consitency check to ensure the method only adds
strip elements of supported types.
* Wed May 30 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add unit tests for XML getStrip* methods

- fixed OEM partition selection for LVM images. If there
are exactly two partitions suitable for the install process
it's possible to assign boot and root partition according
to the partition ID's from the OEM image partition table.
Thus we can prevent a selection dialog in this case.
Additionally this commit added more information about
the reason why partitions are rejected

* Mon May 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- changed the way how the size request of LVM volumes in an oem image
is processed. Before this patch the volumes were created with the
requested size and stored in the image. Thus we store a lot of null
bytes inside the image and also dump those null bytes when running
the code of an oem install image. As the oem image by design expands
itself on first boot according to the target disk and oem image
configuration parameters, it's more clean and also faster to resize
the volumes on first boot and not keep them with their requested
size inside the image (bnc#761993)
* Mon May 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed fstab flags for non root device entries
* Mon May 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- apply suse-repart patch for ppc, s390 and arm architecture
reference commit: a621b4e715ac18e1daabb644a9b3b8af2e316d24
* Mon May 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make controller and id attributes optional in the vmdisk section
* Mon May 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for openSUSE 12.2 / removed 11.3

* added 12.2 boot image descriptions
* added openSUSE 12.2 examples
* Fri May 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild schema documentation
* Fri May 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild schema due to latest changes in .rnc
* Thu May 17 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove superfluous () for variable declaration
* Thu May 17 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove controller and id attribute settings from Xen example
The controller and id attributes are not evaluated in the XML object
for the Xen configuration, showing these settings in the examples
is misleading to the user.
* Thu May 17 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add qualifiers to attribute description of the machine and vmdisk
elements. At present it is not obvious which of the attributes are
evaluated for a given Virtual Machine image format when looking at
the Schema documentation. The qualifiers address this situation.
* Thu May 17 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- added unit tests:
* unit test for getEc2Config method of XML object
* unit test for getVMwareConfig method of XML object
* unit test for getXenConfig method of XML object
* Wed May 16 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add the proper IP address to the Web-UI (sunstone) configuration file
~ presently the user has to manually change the configuration file
and restart the server. This change eliminates this need, after the
cloud is up and running the user can just access the Web-UI as the
server is listening on the appropriate address.
* Wed May 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update schema documentation
* Wed May 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added type attribute <type ... bootpartsize="MB-value"/>. This
allows to set the size of the eventual boot partition. If no
such size is set 150MB is the minimum size for the boot partition.
The value has an effect for image types which creates a boot
partition only, e.g LVM, split
* Wed May 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- changed disk increasement stepsize from 100MB to 10MB
* Wed May 16 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix type in comment
* Wed May 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup of KIWIBoot constructor, avoid code duplication
- added error check for kiwi --bootvm ... --bootvm-system <file|dir|device>
if the system is not a root tree, rootfs image or partition device
- prevent dumping the image from a --targetdevice if also the creation
of an install media was set. This will speedup the build
- make sure to use qemu-img convert to dump image from a targetdevice
* Wed May 16 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- update the OpenNebula example:
* Adjustments for OpenNebula version 3.4.1 release
* Minor script fixes
* Tue May 15 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
* Mon May 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getSector() calculation, could be too small aligned
* Mon May 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for the vhd subformat=fixed type
* Sat May 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added LVM volume information for all specified volumes
to the profile env of the boot image. This is required
to cleanly solve (bnc #761993)
* Fri May 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- allow option --recycle-root to be used in a --build process
If there is a root tree in <destination>/build/image-root
available it will be used as system image tree. The build
of the boot image is not affected by this root recycling
* Fri May 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- additionally create md5 sum's for the kernel and the optional
created splash initrd (fate #313338)
* Fri May 11 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)
* Fri May 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.5 released
* Wed May 09 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed bootloader setup if yaboot is used. the boot partition
id is set to fat (0xc) and we have to make sure to provide
bootinfo.txt, yaboot.cnf and the yaboot binary at the root
of the boot partition. We don't distinguish the layout between
LVM and non LVM setup if yaboot is used in order to have a
clean state
* Wed May 09 2012 - ms@suse.de
- changed function names installBootLoaderLilo and setupBootLoaderLilo
to installBootLoaderYaboot and setupBootLoaderYaboot. lilo is only
supported together with yaboot on ppc at the moment. So the function
names are misleading and would block us if we want to add support
for real lilo.
* Wed May 09 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed package check for package scripts. The rpm database from
the image root system has to be used instead of the build system
package database
* Tue May 08 2012 - ms@suse.de
- Revert "- don't set vga= kernel parameter for lilo bootlader setup"
This reverts commit 5e815b28c84e805d4777551d67be8da0433e1238.
lilo on ppc is something complete different than lilo on other
architectures. The vga value is supported well on 'real' lilo
so this issue should be fixed in the bootloader
* Mon May 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't set vga= kernel parameter for lilo bootlader setup
I was told this causes trouble when lilo.conf is converted
to yaboot.conf
* Mon May 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- use correct size for FAT table when yaboot is used
* Mon May 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- we don't need the mbrid information for ppc/yaboot
the searchOFBootDevice function doesn't request it
* Mon May 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- respect custom boot timeout value for yaboot setup
* Fri May 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't remove cpio program from initrd, required for custom splash setup
follow up fix for the other architectures s390, ppc and arm
* Fri May 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- allow evaluation of $DO_NOT_INSTALL_BOOTLOADER variable in
netboot suse-preinit to prevent installation of the bootloader
by a variable (bnc #760502)
* Fri May 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- netboot: use --metadata=0.9 format for raid setup (bnc #760713)
* Fri May 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.4 released
* Fri May 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed URL repo check, correctly use is_success method and
make sure every repo is checked for rpm-md _and_ repodata
* Fri May 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed 'in progress' indicators from messages containing a path
People reported to be confused about the path to be complete :)
* Fri May 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- create rootfs.meta data file which includes information about
the required min size and (good) inode value for split systems.
This prevents the initrd code from getting that information out
of the rootfs.tar tarball and thus speeds up the boot
* Thu May 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed unit test due to the removal of the aufs support
* Thu May 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- remove the urlResponse() method and use the timeout function
implemented in LWP::UserAgent properly to resolve URL's
* Thu May 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure releaseNetwork() also deconfigures the interface and
configuration. Meaning don't use the -p option as we already
check for root over NFS/AOE/NBD it doesn't make sense anymore
- make sure releaseNetwork() unsets the HOSTNAME as it might
conflict with the later system image network setup
* Thu May 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- allow kiwisplitroot_size=<size-in-MB> which specifies how much
size is reserved for the tmpfs holding the temporary rootfs
data in a split image. Also fixed the calculation of the inode
number for this tmpfs
* Thu May 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed support for aufs overlay filesystem. The problem is that
no overlay filesystem like aufs, unionfs, deltafs and friends
is accepted by the kernel people. Thus support for them inside
the distribution(s) is hard to maintain and the system barely
works. My hope is that some day there will be the mount --overlay
method implemented in a clean way and supported by the kernel
until then we live with the fuse based approach (clicfs) and
the device mapper snapshot method for the caching
system (bnc #760159)
* Thu May 03 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- unit tests for preference settings
* Thu May 03 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- check only for presence and boolean value
The "additive" attribute is a boolean value, i.e. valid values
are true or false. We should only check for supported values.
The removed check for 0 is possibly an artifact from times
where we alloed 0 to indicate false in the XML.
* Thu May 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed hook call with parameters containing spaces (bnc #760331)
* Wed May 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed redundancy in getElementsByTagName ("...") -> get_nodelist();
calls. According to the spec getElementsByTagName already returns
the node list if called in array context.
* Wed May 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added unit test for XML split settings
* Wed May 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed naming inconsistency: getSplitTmpExceptions/getSplitTempExceptions
* Tue May 01 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.3 released
* Tue May 01 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed baseStripUnusedLibs() to be more robust and prepared
for the move of libraries to another location
* Tue May 01 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't remove cpio program from initrd, required for custom splash setup
* Tue May 01 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.2 released
* Fri Apr 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added optional <type ... installprovidefailsafe="true/false"/>
attribute which allows to configure if the Failsafe boot menu
entry for the install media should be displayed or not.
* Fri Apr 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed misleading Restore wording in install iso boot menu
* Fri Apr 27 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure required libs for filesystem tools stay inside the initrd
* Thu Apr 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.03.01 relased
* Thu Apr 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure libext2fs stays inside the initrd, it's required
for tune2fs on Factory/openSUSE 12.2
* Thu Apr 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed evaluation of --edit-bootconfig. There is either the
choice for setting the value on the commandline or as attribute
inside the XML description. Before this fix the code did not
correctly get the value depending on how kiwi is called
- make sure any iso is created via the KIWIISOLinux provided
functions. According to this editbootconfig now also works
for the creation of installs ISO's
* Thu Apr 26 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- unit tests for the getPXEDeploy* methods
* Thu Apr 26 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix typo in XML OEM settings unit test configuration
* Thu Apr 26 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix typo in explanatory comment
* Wed Apr 25 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure grub menu.lst is correctly utf-8 encoded
* Wed Apr 25 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added __hasValidLVMName() runtime check. This checks if the
optional LVM group name already exist on the build host.
* Wed Apr 25 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in error message, $! is empty but we stored the
messages in $status
* Tue Apr 24 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed flag state for iso in extras/suse-11.4/suse-min-gnome

when creating the virtual disk.
* Sat Apr 21 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add unit tests for the getOEM* methods
Prior to undertacing the restructuring of the XML object we need to get
unit tests in place
* Fri Apr 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.02.24 released
* Thu Apr 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- take package section type into account when processing
bootincluded packages. This means packages added as bootincluded
into the e.g image section gets added to the image section
in the boot image too. If the target description doesn't
provide the section the package will be added to the default
bootstrap section as before
* Thu Apr 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- remove db4 package from the delete list in the RHEL
boot image descriptions
* Thu Apr 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed rpm package database rebuild check for RHEL/yum
this reverts commit: c3e4ac88562074d87cad21e96cfe3d6dde976e48
* Thu Apr 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- moved yum priority installation from the RHEL boot- into the
system image template and make it a bootincluded package.
That's because there are name differences like yum-priority
and yum-plugin-priority
* Thu Apr 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed rebuild of package database when yum is used
* Wed Apr 18 2012 - ms@suse.de
- arm: adapt JeOS description for beagle and fixed building in emulated environment
* Tue Apr 17 2012 - ms@suse.de
- really fixed boot.script setup according to (bnc #757489)
* Tue Apr 17 2012 - ms@suse.de
- arm: On other systems which supports a boot menu we add
the linux kernel and initrd with its file names. But on
arm systems there can only be one kernel because uboot
doesn't support a menu. Thus perl-bootloader also doesn't
support updating the uboot configuration and that's the
reason why we use the links created by mkinitrd to point
to the kernel and initrd in order to support kernel
updates (bnc #757489)
* Mon Apr 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- s390: fixed recreateVTOCTable() to wait until the volume
group has settled before deactivating it in a LVM setup
* Mon Apr 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- removed obsolete error console information
* Mon Apr 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- kiwi creates a link with filesystem extension pointing to
the root filesystem image when created. The function
compressImage creates a .gz version of that root filesystem
image and therefore break the link. This fix enhances
compressImage() in a way that it receives the filesystem
information in order to repair the link
* Mon Apr 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added oem type to s390 JeOS image description
* Mon Apr 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- update s390 SLE repo in JeOS template
* Mon Apr 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.02.23 released
* Fri Apr 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation
* Fri Apr 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation
* Fri Apr 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added preCallInit hook to be available for the vmx type too
* Fri Apr 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed partition based oem install method. parsing proc/partitions
was broken in OEMFindPartitions because the ID device name was
used as reference instead of the unix device name
* Thu Apr 12 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- properly pick up splash image for pre-built initrd. At present
it is not possible to use a splash screen with a prebuilt
initrd. For a pre-built initrd the splash file is named with
extension '.spl', but we are loking for the extension '.splash.gz',
thus the file is not found. With this change we look for the
file with the appropriate extension.
* Wed Apr 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- update list of allowed VMware guestOS values
* Wed Apr 11 2012 - winter@pre-sense.de
- Fix the handling of the --mbrid command line switch
The value passed to the --mbrid flag is parsed to an integer by
GetOptions (format is 'o' = extended integer). There is code
checking whether this integer is within the expected range and
formats it as hexadecimal value. But commit:
a5c7ab512dfb02dd99044c1db1cbc46ab05bf221
introduced a regression in the way the value of the --mbrid flag
was handled because the value is set using $cmdL -> setMBRID()
before the range checking and conversion.
* Wed Apr 11 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- prepare the code for the move of the udev tools to the usr
tree. At present the location of udevadmin is hardcoded to
/sbin, once the tools move into the /usr tree and a link
exists the '-x' test will fail. This would result in broken
images.
* Mon Apr 09 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Do not allow whitespce in the value of the name attribute for the
<systemdisk> and <volume> elements. At present the user can specify
a name containing whitespace. This leads to problems that are
difficult to diagnose in when the user tries to run the resulting
image, as the image will not properly operate.
* Sun Apr 08 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Fix ownership issue with persistent tmpdir
At present the script fails if /var/tmp does not exist. Although /var/tmp
should always exist, the new code assures proper handling if this directory
is missing.
* Sun Apr 08 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- Fix race condition in launch script for openNebula test
At present the test script may cause a condition where the openNebula
infrastructure issues a "[VirtualMachineAllocate] Error allocating a
new virtual machine. Could not get disk image for VM." message. Giving
the system some time to copy the image file eliminates this issue.
* Wed Apr 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.02.22 released
* Wed Apr 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed missing filesystem resize operation for LVM based images.
If oem-systemsize and a freespace=all volume is setup kiwi
resized only the freespace=all volume and missed to resize the
root volume
* Tue Apr 03 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed XSL stylesheet conversion: convert49to50.xsl
the apply templates recursion is broken by using another mode
so the fix is to stay in the same mode and select the value by
a modified xpath expression
* Mon Apr 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed misleading error message when kiwi can't find the
image file on the pxe download server (bnc #754275)
* Mon Apr 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed oem installation with luks encrypted root filesystem
during the repartitioning the luks setup has to close down
otherwise the partition table is busy (bnc #754978)
* Mon Apr 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed test -z expression
* Mon Apr 02 2012 - ms@suse.de

- fixed incorrect fstab entry created for read-only systems
* Fri Mar 30 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed identifyDevice() to calculate the correct index for
accessing an entry in the deviceArray list
* Fri Mar 30 2012 - ms@suse.de
- moved from md5_base64 to md5_hex for the creation of random
repo alias names. md5_base64 could create names with a '/'
and that causes trouble when checking for the existence of
the repo file. In order to avoid to implement the same
escape code as used by zypper in kiwi for such alias names,
I'd better moved the code to create hex number based alias
names
* Thu Mar 29 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure ZYPP_LOCKFILE_ROOT is set appropriately when zypper
is used with --root option (bnc #753818)
* Wed Mar 28 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed updateOtherDeviceFstab() to correctly create missing
mount points inside the root file system (bnc #754344)
* Wed Mar 28 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure volume group name doesn't contain white spaces
* Fri Mar 23 2012 - ms@suse.de

* Thu Mar 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- arm: added support for optional ${append} bootargs variable (bnc #752623)
* Tue Mar 20 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure loader variable is initialized
* Mon Mar 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't use -s option for losetup:
the option -s is in collision with the Loop-AES losetup dialect that
is used in some distributions. Use the long version (--show) only.
* Mon Mar 19 2012 - ms@suse.de
- changed repartition code for LVM concerning the use of
element '<oem-system-size>' and 'freespace=all' volume:
* if none of the two is specified, the root will be expanded to
occupy all available space
* if only oem-systemsize is specified, the root will be expanded
as much as specified
* if only freespace=all is specified (for non-root volume), then
the root will not be expanded and the other volume will take all
available space
* Finally, if both are specified, then the root will be expanded to
take as much as oem-systemsize requires and any remaining space is
assigned to the other volume.
* Sat Mar 17 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed compare of object addresses by using refaddr. This is
more robust because objects can overload operators like '!='
* Sat Mar 17 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed pattern names used in examples (bnc #752754)
* Fri Mar 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.02.19 released
* Fri Mar 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed order of files in an ova tar archive per spec
in http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ovf_spec_draft.pdf (bnc #752581)
* Fri Mar 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed malformed ovf file. the Envelope properties
xmlns:rasd and xmlns:vssd are split in two lines with
an extra quote (") (bnc #752580)
* Fri Mar 16 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- only remove the KIWI created initrd and kernel if mkinitrd run was successful
- remove unused variable haveVMX
* Thu Mar 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make split building more robust. the read-only partition size
will be a bit bigger than the actual read-only filesystem image
to be sure it fits into the partition. Due to the alignment this
was required and costs a few bytes
* Thu Mar 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure kernelCheck() initializes list of kernels if empty (bnc #752259)
* Wed Mar 14 2012 - ms@suse.de
- don't remove libbz2 from isoboot boot images for SLE11
* Wed Mar 14 2012 - ms@suse.de

- added which based search for dracut/mkinitrd/depmod
* Tue Mar 06 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove unused function callSUSEInitrdScripts
The initrd is created by setupRHELInitrd and setupSUSEInitrd, there is no
call in the code to callSUSEInitrdScripts
* Mon Mar 05 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed removePackages():
* use options --noscripts --allmatches
* respect return code from rpm call
* make sure proc is mounted
* Mon Mar 05 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- added function updateModuleDependencies() to update the kernel
modules dependency list. Call this function prior to creating
the initrd. This allows the user to add custom kernel modules
and makes sure these get picked up when mkinitrd runs

* Sun Mar 04 2012 - ms@suse.de
- arm: added following boot fixes:
* To avoid any issues when parted leaves x86 boot code we
zero out the first 440 bytes (MBR without ptable). The
mandatory master boot id to identify the device is written
afterwards
* make sure MLO is installed after repart again in
installBootLoaderUBoot. Also make sure the same MBR cleanup
code is applied in the kiwi boot code
* Fri Mar 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.02.15 released
* Fri Mar 02 2012 - ms@suse.de

/etc/sysconfig/kernel before calling mkinitrd
* Tue Feb 28 2012 - ms@suse.de
- respect size setup by user and don't add extra space for
a possible boot partition
* 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
* Sun Feb 26 2012 - ms@suse.de
- changed partition alignment to align start and size of
partitions to 4096 bytes. The value can be changed with
the option --disk-alignment

recursively look them up in the filesystem when tar'ing
them up (bnc #743159)
* Thu Feb 23 2012 - ms@suse.de

- don't remove opt and selinux from initrd
* Wed Feb 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added possibility to specify an oem-unattended-id in the
oemconfig section. The id is evaluated as part of the oem
install code and can be either the string like it appears
in dev/disk/by-id or by-path. if the option oem-unattended
is set to true kiwi will try to assign the install device
according to the specified id. if the id cannot be found
a reboot exception is thrown. If no id is specified but
unattended mode is requested the first entry of the sorted
device list will be used like before this change
* Wed Feb 22 2012 - ms@suse.de
- sort list of devices found for installation in suse-dump
* Tue Feb 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- remove 'fixed' flagged repositories from boot image descriptions.
As the boot image inherit the repo setup from the system image
it's more flexible to let the system image decide for the repos
* Tue Feb 21 2012 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suseStripModules to return early if no update driver was found
* Tue Feb 21 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
* Tue Feb 21 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix improper call off stripImage()
- fix some cosmetic issues
* Mon Feb 20 2012 - ms@suse.de

the existence of the boot_bind directory
* Fri Feb 17 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.02.11 released
* Fri Feb 17 2012 - ms@suse.de
- deactivate volume groups always with their name as argument
- fixed setDefaultDeviceMap to respect device naming conventions
* Fri Feb 17 2012 - ms@suse.de
- finally fixed setupBootPartition in a clean way. kiwi creates
a volume label named 'BOOT' if a boot partition is used.
setupBootPartition searches for the label and setup the boot
partition accordingly. Along with the change the functions
update*BootDeviceFstab and resetBootBind were also adapted.
There is now only one updateBootDeviceFstab handling the
boot partition entry for all modes if required
* Thu Feb 16 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.02.10 released
* Thu Feb 16 2012 - ms@suse.de

kerneladdr and ramdiskaddr variables
- arm: fixed JeOS console setup for efika, setup baudrate
* Tue Feb 14 2012 - ms@suse.de

- arm: fixed setup of boot.script, missing redirect
* Fri Feb 10 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.02.9 released
* Fri Feb 10 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for iso boot process from external loader
If the boot option isofrom="storage-device:path/to/iso"
is given the isoboot initrd will try to use the contents
of this device to boot up the system. This allows to
externally load the linux kernel and initrd with e.g
grub2's loopback support and let the iso image exist
as a file instead of being dumped on a target device
Details on the use case can be found in (bnc #746351)
* Thu Feb 09 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- remove superfluous boot.local

* Tue Feb 07 2012 - ms@suse.de
- migration: fixed oemboot prefix setup
* Mon Feb 06 2012 - ms@suse.de
- arm: Now that x-loader on OMAP can boot from ext2, let's also
teach kiwi about that awesome new capability. This gets rid of
the vfat based boot partition and moves it to an ext2 based
one. Additionally the 64MB limit on the boot partition is gone
because the MLO is installed in the first 128kb of the disk
and is no longer part of the boot partition. Kudos to Alexander
Graf you added all this.
* Mon Feb 06 2012 - ms@suse.de

this conflicts with bootincluded packages marked for deletion
* Thu Feb 02 2012 - ms@suse.de
- keep only the uBoot initrd representation and remove the
gzip version of the initrd from the boot partition. This
saves some space urgently needed because on arm the boot
partition is fixed 64MB

especially packages stuff in the overlay tree
* adapt deny list, ignore bootsplash and bootloader data for
migration
* Fri Jan 27 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix spec file, version of RPM on SLE does not handle %%else if directives
thus we get a dependency to qemu-img is created, but this package does

The volume ID of a live and install iso is now a unique ID.
On boot the devices are searched to match that ID
* Sun Jan 15 2012 - ms@suse.de
- follow up fix for last commit. Moved the calculation of
the seek value into the getBlocks function and also fixed
the function in terms of non reachable code
* Sat Jan 14 2012 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix "off by 1" error
The created image is either 1M or 8K larger than the created partition
for images that require a boot partition (XFS or Btrfs filesystems).
This triggers a failure when the image is dumped to the partition in the
disk image. See mailinglist thread
http://groups.google.com/group/kiwi-images/browse_thread/thread/8988598856aee92d
* Fri Jan 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- added support for setupBootLoaderGrub2 and installBootLoaderGrub2
in kiwi's initrd code. The functions are called on first deployment
of the image and create the system bootloader configuration via
grub2-mkconfig and grub2-install
* Fri Jan 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- make sure default strip type="delete" information from
KIWIConfig.txt is used even if a custom strip section
was defined
* Fri Jan 13 2012 - ms@suse.de
- deactivate the use of basePackBootIncludes/baseUnpackBootIncludes
These functions can be used to preserve and restore the contents
of bootincluded packages/archives. We used it to prevent removal
of files by the suseStripInitrd function. Due to the change of
suseStripInitrd we are now more flexible to control what stays in-
and what should be removed from the initrd which makes the use
of basePackBootIncludes/baseUnpackBootIncludes obsolete
* Thu Jan 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- v5.02.3 released
* Thu Jan 12 2012 - ms@suse.de
- find a way to install grub2 into a partition :)
* Wed Jan 11 2012 - ms@suse.de
- first start of supporting grub2 in kiwi, still missing parts are:
* graphics boot setup, no font or theme is provided by SUSE
* first boot setup, it's not clear if we use grub2-mkconfig
or if kiwi has to write the configuration by itself
* recovery grub2 setup, this normally means install grub into
a partition. So far I wasn't able to install grub2 at another
place than the MBR
* Wed Jan 11 2012 - ms@suse.de

- fix gpg signature import
The failure is triggered by a behavior changes of /usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/dumpsigs
on openSUSE 12.1. The updated implementation must be called with a comand
line argument, i.e. the gpg file. Previous implementations (checked
openSUSE 11.4 and SLES 11 SP1) of dumpsigs also accept this commandline
argument, thus the change is backward compatible.

- arm: kiwi-tools is required in the initrd. as it builds now we
can safely add it to the vmxboot description
* Tue Dec 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- arm: if everything is installed in bootstrap, zypper needs to be
added as an explicit package
* Tue Dec 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- arm: better JeOS description. added less and systemd-sysvinit
also added a pandaFlavour profile which is imported by default
and includes the kernel-omap2plus plus u-boot-omap4panda useful
for panda boards. That way we can easily extend the image
description to be suitable for other boards
* Tue Dec 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file for arm build, make sure kiwi-templates has
the correct arm JeOS template and also exclude templates from
main kiwi package correctly

- add writeXMLDiff method stub in test logger implementation to mimick the
regular log object, this fixes the test failures when running tests as root
* Fri Dec 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added end partition alignment which needs to be aligned to
head/sectors (aka 255*63 in the loopback case). The end sector
needs to end one block before the next cylinder starts.
Additionally the value for what the kernel thinks about
the heads sectors and sectorsize can be set via:
* --bios-heads
* --bios-sectors
* --bios-sector-size
* Fri Dec 16 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com

moved hook calls pre/postpartition back inside of the block
* Wed Dec 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed used of binary only ovftool and added native support
for creating the ovf machine description. So far only the
basic information is setup in the ovf but this will be
enhanced according to user requests. Along with the change
support for the ova format has been added as well. ova is
tar container including the actual image plus a manifest
and the ovf XML description

- v5.01.8 released
* Fri Dec 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed udev database transfer. udev stores the database in /run and
in /dev/.udev. kiwi did not take care for the information in /run
which has a bad impact on systemd waiting for udev events which did
not appear. Along with this fix the changes from commit 1a12ad0974ea
were partially reverted. The obsolete udev rule is gone again and
we don't use the exit control signal in udevSystemStop. The more
failsafe udev exit code in the initrd udevKill() function has been
tested and will stay there (bnc #731457)
* Fri Dec 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v5.01.7 released
* Fri Dec 09 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com

the previously suggested project system:/aoetools does not appear to
be maintained
* Thu Dec 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed split boot. setupBootPartition() behaved incorrectly
with the split image because the read-write part is also
used to store the boot configuration in this mode
* Thu Dec 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed --grub-chainload setup. In this mode the mbr from the
master-boot-code package is used to call the grub installed
into a partition. The code there was broken in a way that the
filesystem on that partition was damaged
* Thu Dec 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed boot device setup for split build
* Thu Dec 08 2011 - ms@suse.de

- clean up build process
* moved swig to libsatsolver-devel. Only required if kiwi builds
the legacy satsolver module if no perl-satsolver exists
* removed trang to get rid of java dependency. trang is used to
transform kiwi's rnc schema code into the rng syntax. If the
rng is up to date the build doesn't have to create it though
* removed obsolete Qt requirement. The tool which needed this
is not packaged/required anymore
* make the build work for the arm architecture
* Mon Dec 05 2011 - ms@suse.de

setup into the setupBootLoaderStages and setupBootLoaderConfiguration
functions like all others
* Mon Nov 28 2011 - ms@suse.de

type just builds a bz2 compressed tarball from the prepared tree
as requested in report (bnc #732797)
* Mon Nov 28 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed unit test for valid arch check

* Thu Nov 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- sed -ie behaves differently than sed -i -e, weird
* Thu Nov 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed zypper repo setup. Don't let --raw-cache-dir point to
cache-dir. Redirecting raw-cache-dir to cache-dir makes packages/
and solv/ appear to be orphaned raw metadata caches for ex-repos
packages and solv. Also don't re-add the repo if it's already
there. Just update the path for local repos to work with the
bind mounted path inside the chroot. (bnc #731090)
* Thu Nov 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file to build on RHEL as well

setup according to the bootloader value and not according to
the architecture value
* Wed Nov 23 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com
- properly handle specification of "scsi" controller type for VMWare images
This requires the "-o scsi" option to be present for the qemu-img command
on the build machine.
- implement new check in RuntimeChecker to verify that qemu-img supports proper
option if controller="scsi" is specified and a vmdk image is being built
- clean KIWIRuntimeChecker to critic level 4
* Tue Nov 22 2011 - ms@suse.de

sections. getInstallSize() now behaves the same like when the
system is actually prepared
* Tue Nov 22 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v5.01.3 released
* Tue Nov 22 2011 - ms@suse.de
- allow initrd variable NON_PERSISTENT_DEVICE_NAMES. If set
to a non empty string it will cause getDiskID() to return
the non persistent kernel device node name like /dev/sda.
This is to support storage devices with name conflicts
when using the udev generated node names.
* Mon Nov 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- wait a second before rereading the partition table in initGeometry
* Mon Nov 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- apply quoting of .profile contents during build (bnc #729315)
* Mon Nov 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed inode count calculation. Since vmmbytes is the image
size in MB, we need to mutiply it to get the count right
because inode ratio is in bytes/inode
* Mon Nov 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- update repo paths for kiwi specific rhel6 packages
* Mon Nov 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed call of checkmedia (bnc #730763)

- v5.01.2 released
* Sun Nov 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of useless udev tmpfs in udevStart() because this
is created as devtmpfs/tmpfs properly in createInitialDevices()
which is called in udevStart
* Sun Nov 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- in LVM case on ppc the boot partition should be fat16 (part type c)
* Sun Nov 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- shorten verification message in suse-dump
* Sun Nov 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup run-init code, prevent redundant calls
* Sun Nov 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure /sbin/ifup stays in the initrd
* Fri Nov 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- prevent umount of fstab listed subvolumes before calling systemd.
The former sysvinit did not like if another than the root filesystem
was mounted at call time but systemd handles this differently and
times out when processing the fstab listed entries
* Thu Nov 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure fat16 is used for boot partition on ppc
* Thu Nov 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- adapt common changes in the x86 oem boot code to the ppc code
also make sure partition table layout on ppc is the same than
on all other architectures
* Thu Nov 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- adapt common changes in the x86 oem boot code to the s390 code
* Wed Nov 16 2011 - ms@suse.de

* Tue Nov 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added isoboot description for rhel/centos 6.0
* Tue Nov 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getDeleteList() to take care if a package was added as
bootincluded that it is not removed by an entry in the delete
type packages section. A warning message is added to the log
file that this package is ignored in the delete list, thus it
will be installed. This problem often appear if one added a
package to be included in the initrd but the initrd image
description marked this package as to be deleted
* Tue Nov 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure the default strip tools and libs are appended if
one has specified such a strip section in the system image
description (bnc #720933)

full control over the initrd striping code for items to delete and
tools and libraries to stay (bnc #720933)
* Tue Nov 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed fixed strip lists from suseStripInitrd() and provide a
default strip table in KIWIConfig.txt. There is now the strip section
which can be of type 'delete', 'libs' or 'tools' the delete typed
section specifies files to remove from the initrd. The tools typed
section specifies the tool names in /bin|/sbin|/usr/bin/|/usr/sbin
which should stay whereas all other tools in that directories are
removed. And the libs typed section specifies those libraries which
has to stay whereas all other libraries without any ldd reference
are removed. (bnc #720933)
* Tue Nov 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- save some space in the initrd by removing licenses and iptables
packages. Added them in the type="delete" sections

* Fri Nov 11 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add collection of perlcritic exceptions to the statistics collector
- change collector such that only the next scan time is written and
not he whole "old" content that does not change. New data is added to the
file at the end
- add the doc stats collector provided by Thomas, this is not yet integrated,
but I thought we shouldn't loose the code
- register the collector code in the hook
* Fri Nov 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: rebuild documentation, mention Microsoft HyperV (vhd) format
* Fri Nov 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- update kiwi --help output to show supported vhd format
* Fri Nov 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- renamed image format vpc to vhd. vhd seems to be the well
known name for Microsoft HyperV images (bnc #729857)
* Fri Nov 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v5.01.1 released
* Fri Nov 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure IFS is restored in fdasdGetPartitionID
* Fri Nov 11 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com
- integrate unit test run into the pre-commit hook
* if a file is changed that has an associated unit test and the
test has not been executed after the changes were made the test is
run prior to commit
- fix the runTest code to generate a timestamp file when a test is run and
it succeeds
- clean up kiwiCommandLine.pm, kiwiLocator.pm, and KIWIXMLValidator.t to
critic level 4
* clean up used to test new hook functionality
- clean up KIWISharedMem.pm to critic level 5
* clean up used to test new hook functionality
* Fri Nov 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed type in runTests, also set execution bit on the script
* Fri Nov 11 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)
* Thu Nov 10 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com
- modify Makefile to create timestamp files when tests are run
- add .gitignore file to ignore timestamp files and timestamp directory
- implement trigger files
* each trigger file contains a list of tests that should be run when
the module with the equivalent name is changed. For example if KIWIXML.pm
changes, the tests listed in KIWIXML.trig will be run
- implement runTests
* contains the logic to execute tests as needed based on the trigger files
and dependent on the timestamps
* this script needs to be integrated into the pre-commit hook to assure the
appropriate tests get run prior to commit
* Thu Nov 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- update rng schema due to last change in rnc
* Thu Nov 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed fdasdGetPartitionID() it was completely broken.
The function evaluates the wrong information and was
also syntactically wrong... I should tell myself each
day 'never code in a hurry'
* Thu Nov 10 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com
- add Perl module compile check to pre-commit hook
* any Perl file (ending in .t, .pl, .pl that is changed is run through
"perl -wc" prior to commit to assure the code at least builds
- clean the KIWIArchlist module to critic level 5 and fix the style
to match the rest of the code
* Thu Nov 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed parameter quoting in setupBootLoader (bnc #729315)
* Thu Nov 10 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com
- fix unit tests
* earlier update of ktLog broke the tests due to initialization problem
with q{ } vs q{}, the later producing an empty string, the former a
string with one space character, thus not empty. Empty string
initialization is required in other parts of the code.
* Thu Nov 10 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com
- include new EC2 region (US-West2), update the EC2 kernel IDs to the newly released v1.02 IDs, update code and docs, also fix the regular expression in hook to properly deal with .txt extension, i.e. ignore those files

the start sector if the partition table is empty (bnc #729251)
* Wed Nov 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- turn all fixed flaged http:// URI's in the x86 boot images into
more flexible obs:// URI's
* Wed Nov 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- if an obs:// path can't be resolved, turn it into an opensuse path
and try again. That way you can use one URI to build the image
inside the buildservice and also outside with network access
* Wed Nov 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- changed cache creation. the cache is created from the image
description referenced by --init-cache and we prevent the
split into packages and patterns and the weird cache template
in modules/KIWICache.kiwi. This allows to create cache only
image descriptions whose only purpose is to create caches
* Wed Nov 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed doubled my declaration of the same variable
* Wed Nov 09 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com

make it more robust against quoting issues (bnc #728357)
* Mon Nov 07 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)
* Mon Nov 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- switch from tar to rsync based copies. Reason for the change is
because tar doesn't support file attributes like xattr,acls
and fscaps (bnc #728312)
* Mon Nov 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed left over debug message from KIWIXMLValidator.pm
* Mon Nov 07 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.

* Wed Oct 26 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.98.6 released
* Wed Oct 26 2011 - ms@suse.de
- libcrc32 module depends on crc32c, but it does not state this dependency
explicitely (modules.dep does not contain this information). Since KIWI
relies od modules.dep to clean up unused modules in the initrd, this can
break module loading. This patch ensures that the module is kept in the
initrd and not purged.
* Wed Oct 26 2011 - ms@suse.de
- revert back to parted hex id's, this reverts commits:
47f8bf758861a3d8cdbc2c188024f423e6ee45db

* Wed Oct 26 2011 - ms@suse.de
- call createURLList() only on demand. Also provide accessor
methods for xml->{urllist} and xml->{urlhash}, don't access
these object data directly anymore. createURLList() was called
in the KIWIXML constructor but changes to the XML might happen
at a later point in time. So it makes sense to build the final
URL list when access to it is requested
* Tue Oct 25 2011 - ms@suse.de
- call setupNetworkStatic in suse-preinit for s390. With this
change we write the network configuration as received by
the initrd into the system config files below /etc/sysconfig
* Tue Oct 25 2011 - ms@suse.de

- added support for setting up which volume should get the
rest free space assigned in a LVM setup. Example:
<systemdisk>
<volume name="/var" freespace="all"/>
</systemdisk>
This will assign the rest space available in the volume
group to the LVvar logical volume. rest space means either
the size of the 'oem-systemsize' element or if not set
the entire rest space of the disk. If no 'all' freespace
attribute is set in the volume setup, the default volume
LVRoot is used as before (bnc #724489)
* Mon Oct 17 2011 - ms@suse.de

- added a 30 sec timeout to searchBIOSBootDevice
* Sat Oct 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make searchBiosBootDevice more robust. The function probes
for the boot device until found and does not expect all
storage devices to be present at call time. There is still
a problem in install mode where we need a list of all
potential installation devices to be present at a certain
point in time. The function waitForIdleEventQueue tries
to address this but it's not race free
* Sat Oct 15 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com
- revamp the EC2 chapter, include instructions for using EBS, restructure organization
* Sat Oct 15 2011 - rjschwei@suse.com

- fetchFile does not handle special characters consistently.
fetchFile "some%%20file" with atftp correctly downloads 'some%%20file'.

not expected. This patch fixes this and makes the behavior
consistent

is printed and the shell/reboot/wait action happens
* Tue Oct 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed the check for the installed system in the netboot code
if the luks encryption is used. The check calls luksOpen with
luks_open_can_fail=yes. This means if the wrong passphrase is
given the check will proceed with 'update is required' and
does not fail with a reboot exception in luksOpen
* Tue Oct 11 2011 - ms@suse.de

creation of the imageSwapDevice. This allows to setup your
own swap device handling.

here. parted only shows different values if called on a loop
device
* Sun Oct 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make suse-live-stick a real image example directory and not
a link to the live iso description. This also fixes the upgrade

part of the preferences section. This element allows to specify the
base name of a license file which is displayed in oem images before
the installation happens. It's possible to add more <showlicense>
sections to display more licenses one after the other. If no such
element is specified the default 'license' and 'EULA' files are
searched to keep the system backward compatible

- This breaks multi arch medias, we need more complex solution here
Revert "- priorize repositories over fallback architectures"
This reverts commit ce611d35662473365cebdc41172653d287bcaa0e.
* Wed Sep 07 2011 - ms@suse.de

type cannot be found the function will switch back to the
bootstrap section.
* Wed Sep 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- put isoboot kernel-rt package to bootstrap section.
* Wed Sep 07 2011 - ms@suse.de

* Wed Sep 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- create mtab link in kiwi's chroot instead of touching an empty file
* Wed Sep 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fix updateMTAB() to create a /etc/mtab symlink if /proc/self/mounts
exists. Otherwise leave /etc/mtab untouched
* Mon Sep 05 2011 - ms@suse.de
- use the same version of suse-dump for ppc and s390 arch
* Mon Sep 05 2011 - ms@suse.de
- the by-id device names can contain the ':' sign which causes
trouble when kiwi uses the same sign as data separator. This
patch solves the problem for the evaluation of the instItems
array in the suse-dump code
* Mon Sep 05 2011 - ms@suse.de
- add priority to the repository to the boot config of RHEL iso
images. This will resolve the conflicts with the kiwi-tools
package while creating the boot image.

* Sat Aug 27 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation concerning the new imageinclude attribute
* Sat Aug 27 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added a new attribute to the <repository> element called
'imageinclude', a boolean. The code treats the attribute
as having a "false" default value. When set to true (for
using zypper package manager only at this point) the specified
repository is added to the image being created, thus the
repo is available to install additional packages or upgrade
existing packages from within the running image.
* Sat Aug 27 2011 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup XML data from example image descriptions by the
result of the kiwi XML pretty printer

- make sure to have some spare space in filesystem images
* 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
* Wed Aug 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for pxe luks encrypted images
* Wed Aug 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- break up long code line into two

- added compat link menu.lst -> grub.conf, required by RHEL
- added function baseSetupBootLoaderCompatLinks() which can
be used to create the /usr/share/grub link to the stage
files which kiwi expects in /usr/lib/grub. RHEL installs
them in /usr/share/grub
* Tue Aug 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added parted 1.8.7 to RHEL5.4 repo
* Tue Aug 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed boot code: explicitly wait until the background
job showing the progress information has finished
* Tue Aug 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- 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
- changed the image size calculation to leave not too much of
free space. In case of a filesystem based image as less free
space as possible is added. In case of a disk image we make
sure to have ~100MB of free space. If a single boot partition
is required we make sure to have min 150M to allow proper
kernel updates
* Tue Aug 23 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

- added kiwi-media-requires meta package which recommends all
packages which should be part of the distribution DVD
* Tue Aug 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- rpmlint doesn't like empty files
* 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)
* Mon Aug 22 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo, missing '\n' in info output
* Fri Aug 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.94.3 released
* 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)
* Fri Aug 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- don't call restoreCDRootData() and restoreSplitExtend()
inside the global destructor of the KIWIImageCreator.
If the functions are applied to the creation of a boot
image it leads to errors because they are designed to
operate on the system image root tree
* Fri Aug 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed broken state setup in KIWILog which was used to detect
whether we need a CR when printing the line or not. All that
sucked and caused mystery empty lines in the log
* Fri Aug 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure loop maps are closed before installing grub. Also
changed the way grub is called. We are creating a file with
the commands first and then call grub ... --batch < file.
It makes the code more readable and also allows to include
the commands as part of the log file
* Thu Aug 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed zero timeout value handling in syslinux. A value of zero
disables the timeout so we set the smallest possible value in
that case which is 1/10sec
* Thu Aug 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- increased amount of spare space 1.1 -> 1.5
* Thu Aug 18 2011 - ms@suse.de

- make sure the text message file isolinux.msg is created in
case of a sys|extlinux based virtual disk image
* Thu Aug 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure loader variable is initialized as early as possible

function. This allows to setup loader by the value of the
kiwi_bootloader variable in an early phase
* Wed Aug 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure the which command is part of the initrd
* Wed Aug 10 2011 - ms@suse.de

- allow init=/path/to/program option for kiwi images
* Tue Aug 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- in 12.1 the sysconfig.kernel file has been changed into a
sysconfig.kernel-mkinitrd file.
* Tue Aug 09 2011 - ms@suse.de

* Mon Aug 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- use getExecPath() to locate parted binary, also allow
alternative location of parted inside the linuxrc code
* Mon Aug 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- When the Boot image's repositories are updated/reconfigured,
the priority and alias information is chopped off. This patch
makes sure the priority information is retained.
* Mon Aug 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- use getExecPath() to find the grub binary. Along with this
change the extraction of the grub binary from the initrd has
been removed. That binary never was called.
- allow alternative location for the grub binary inside the
linuxrc boot code

ripping the splash information out from the created initrd
cpio archive, the splash files are now obtained from the
unpacked tree and stored in a .spl file for appending it
later to the final initrd (bnc #708357)
* Tue Jul 26 2011 - ms@suse.de

* Thu Jul 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed config dir path serach in --build mode
* Thu Jul 21 2011 - ms@suse.de

* Tue Jul 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed evaluation of @UmountStack. There were some mount points
still active if $main::global->mount() is called multiple times
each mount() call causes a reset to the @UmountStack which means
some umount information got lost

used. Also fixed size setup of install stick. Problem here
was that the uncompressed size of the raw install file was
used and not the compressed size which ends up in a too big
installstick image
* Fri Jul 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for hybrid installiso media. In order to create
the hybrid the attribute bootloader must be either set to
syslinux or extlinux
* Thu Jul 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- moved zypper version check outside of the loop. It's enough
to check this one time
* Thu Jul 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- improve the OpenNebula example. I recently created a separate
package for the OpenNebula Web-UI server (sunstone) and with
the package "cleanup/separation" from the main opennebula package
showing how to use the Web-UI is easier now.
* 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)
* Thu Jul 14 2011 - ms@suse.de

contain further XML information so we set vga to normal and
disabled the boot menu along with a boot timeout of zero
seconds (immediate boot)
* Mon Jul 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed --bootcd creation mode
* Fri Jul 08 2011 - ms@suse.de

- fixed typo, check for dialog program happened twice
* Wed Jun 29 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed and cleaned up disk size setup. There are two new
functions __initDiskSize() and __updateDiskSize() which are
used to create an initial disk size value and an update
function if there are conditions which requires to increase
the disk size. That actions are now also part of the kiwi
log file
* Wed Jun 29 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setupOverlay() in KIWIImage.pm to write back possible
XML changes into the overlay tree to stay persistent in the
cow file

fetchFile() function used for netboot images. By default a
chunk size of 4k is used
* Mon Jun 27 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added network functions for s390 pxeboot. New functions are
setupNetworkInterfaceS390, setupNetworkStatic, setupDefaultGateway
setupDNS. Normally the pxe boot on x86 expects a DHCP server to
provide all the required network services but on s390 pxe boot
works together with a parm file containing that information
which is evaluated by the new functions.
* Fri Jun 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed evaluation of buildtype in createImage(). There were
some places which did not reference the build type as it
is stored in the XML object. This could lead to the use of
an uninitialized value if no primary type was set in the
XML description and no type was explicitly selected
* Wed Jun 22 2011 - ms@suse.de
- changed 01-network.sh preinit script for s390 templates to use
the same variable names as provided by the parm file when using
the standard yast based installation
* Tue Jun 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added function includeKernelParametersLowerCase() which
converts all cmdline paramters to lowercase variables
* Mon Jun 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- systemd-sysvinit creates a symlink from '/bin/systemd' to
'/sbin/init'. Unfortunately kiwi linuxrc tries to check
for the file permissions which leads to a false positive
rebootException (bnc #700603)
* Mon Jun 20 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)
* Mon Jun 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed thisPath() evaluation. When in create or upgrade mode the
function did not use the value of the main::Prepare lookup file
* Mon Jun 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- Apply some clean up to the recently submitted OpenNebula example.
I made some changes to the packaging in OBS which allows me to
simplify the image configuration.
* Thu Jun 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed build on Centos/Redhat, recommended packages like
jing or zypper does not exist there so we had to check
the distro in that case
* Thu Jun 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed the patternType validation bug reported by John Lund
on the users list. The patch also adds a new test case xml
file for the KIWIXMLValidator unit test.
* Thu Jun 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added a new example for 11.3, 11.4, and 12.1. This example
demonstrates the use of Kiwi to create cloud setup images
and a guest images for clouds based on the OpenNebula
infrastructure.
* Sun Jun 12 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.91.2 released

before createInstSource() is called
* Thu Jun 09 2011 - adrian@suse.de
- switch to 11.1 PDB branch
* Thu Jun 09 2011 - adrian@suse.de
- fix plugin to become usable with current kiwi code
* Wed Jun 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- remove the call to sax2 in the 11.3 vm guest example, sax2 is no
longer part of 11.3 and later as the X-server is self configuring.
Also added code to allow the firstboot sequence to be initiated.
While this particular example does not use the firstboot mechanism,
someone basing their build of the example and trying to get firstboot
to work would be hard pressed to find why it is not working.
* Tue Jun 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- changed kiwi version number from a two part version
into a three part version number: v4.91.1. The major
and minor part of the version will not change with
bugfix releases. The following rules should apply to
the version number: major.minor.release. major change
might include incompatible changes. minor change
includes features and schema version updates. release
change includes any kind of bugfixes
* Tue Jun 07 2011 - ms@suse.de

broader view into the doc/examples/extras directory
* Mon Jun 06 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 #698233)
* Mon Jun 06 2011 - ms@suse.de

growisofs in the code which is provided by dvd+rw-tools
* Wed Jun 01 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed unit testing ktLog.pm, some functions from the real
KIWILog module were missing in ktLog.pm

We now use prove (part of Perl) to execute the unit tests.
Prove generates the proper exit status upon test failure.
* Wed May 25 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file: The functionality provided with the
kiwi-desc-usbboot package has moved into a new technology
which is not provided by another package. Therefore the
wrong provides entry was removed.

* make the master kiwi package noarch if possible
* require kiwi-tools version from the same master
* Fri May 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed stylesheet bugs: Thanks to Tom for looking at it
* A xsl:call-template cannot contain a mode attribute. Only
xsl:apply-templates can have it. The affected files are
convert39to41.xsl and convert41to42.xsl
* A <xsl:copy select="@"/> is incorrect in two ways: First
a xsl:copy needs to have something to copy in its _content_,
second the select attribute is syntactically wrong; @ means
attribute, but which one? I guess, it should mean
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>. However, in this case it's
totally useless as it copies *all* attributes, regardless
of the for-each loop. So the for-each loop can never act
as it was supposed to be.
* Fri May 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- get unit test working again, due to restructuring changes
- provide config and target location as arguments to
prepareBootImage() and createBootImage(). Retrieving those from
the CommandLine object is not following our functional
separation model as the config dir and target dir for the
initrd cannot be given on the command line and therefore
should not be stored on the command line argument
- refactor setting of XML parameters into methods for re-use
* Thu May 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- run unit tests during package build if SUSE > 1130
* Thu May 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- limit the validation of config.xml files in the Kiwi tree to files
located outside the tests tree. config.xml files in the tests tree
are not necessarily expected to be valid as we also need to do
negative unit testing.
* Thu May 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed version update script
* Thu May 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup situation around global variables. There is now a
KIWIGlobals object which contains all global variables and
functions. There are still some global variables in use
which references options. Those should be handled by a
KIWICommandline accessor
* Wed May 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed unit test kiwiImageCreator.pm
- fixed *.kiwi search in getControlFile
* Wed May 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- moved the image create step into the KIWIImageCreator code
There is now a function createImage / createBootImage which
is also used by the build step. Along with this change I
removed all occurences of the main::Survive variable and
thus removed all recursive kiwi calls now from the code.
* Wed May 18 2011 - adrian@suse.de
- do not enforce the need of a meta package, driver update disk is not needing one (on command from cwh)
* Tue May 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup fix; don't create instances of KIWICommandLine
if it's not necessary. Also removed redundant code in
prepareBootImage
* Tue May 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make the user password optional; It is valid to have a user on
a system that cannot login via password authentication. Therefore
kiwi should not force a password assignment in the <user> element
* Tue May 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed caching if used for boot images. Also fixed the check
between the initial prepare with cache and the remount of a
prepared tree with cache
* Tue May 17 2011 - adrian@suse.de

- add openSUSE 12.1 media style, using sha256 meta data sums
* Tue May 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed global variables CacheRoot and CacheRootMode and
cleaned up the KIWICache code. Also added a new runtime
check: __checkRootRecycleCapability which makes sure that
a cache based root tree cannot be used in --recycle-root
mode
* Tue May 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- last fix using --numeric-owner was still broken. Robert has
added a better and more robust patch to fix this
* Tue May 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- use --numeric-owner option in tar to prevent the table layout
to break if the user/group field in the tar -t output exceeds
the field length
* Tue May 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- don't strip vgrename command from initrd
* Mon May 16 2011 - ms@suse.de

also fixed the unit tests and get rid of some recursive calls
* --setup-splash => createSplash()
* --bootusb => createImageBootUSB()
* --bootcd => createImageBootCD()
* --installcd => createImageInstallCD()
* --installstick => createImageInstallStick()
* --bootvm => createImageDisk()
* --convert => createImageFormat()
* Mon May 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure XML validation happens in each processing mode
- fixed environment cleanup, added cleanup function in main
* Mon May 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed logging. Added function resetRootChannel which allows
to split up the log at a certain point. This is used when
one --init-cache call creates multiple caches and each one
has a dedicated log file
* Mon May 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- moved the upgrade code into the KIWIImageCreator object
also removed the recursive upgrade call inside the create
step and call the new function upgradeImage() instead
* Fri May 13 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed fixupOverlayFilesOwnership(), remove leading
spaces from file names
* Fri May 13 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added unit tests for testing the KIWIImageCreator code

- added new KIWICache object and move out the cache code
from the main kiwi.pl file into the new object code
* Thu May 12 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added new KIWIImageCreator object which will encapsulate
the major kiwi processing modes like prepare, create, upgrade
and others into module functions. So far the prepare step
has been moved out and others will follow. The goal is to
get rid of the global variable stack in kiwi as well as to
remove the recursive kiwi calls
* Thu May 12 2011 - ms@suse.de
- unit test fixes:
* move test repo to sharable location, adjust XMLInfo test
* fixed removal of test directory, remove only if no mounts exists
* fixed test directory cleanup, remove only if no mount exists
* fixed broken unit test due to commit: c9c797b47cb4
* Wed May 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- changed name of enableRootRecycle to setRootRecycle, better
following the style of the KIWICommandLine functions

the unit tests for this options. This happened in preparation to
the new KIWIImageCreator object which will encapsulate the kiwi
build, prepare and create modes
* Wed May 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- move knowledge about the default cache directory path
into the KIWILocator module: getDefaultCacheDir()
* Wed May 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- update unit test infrastructure in preparation for the new
KIWIImageCreator object which will encapsulate the kiwi
build, prepare and create modes
* Wed May 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- remove outdated undocumented prechrootcall option
* Tue May 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed this:// path evaluation if used in --info mode (bnc #692813)
* Tue May 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- enhanced the ddn() function to work correctly if a
udev /dev/disk/<name> device name is specified as disk
parameter (bnc #692629)
* Mon May 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- integrate end-to-end testsuite written by Bernhard Wiedemann
into kiwi. There is a kiwi --test-image ... mode now, and I
added an example test to the 11.4 JeOS description. It's
required to have the os-autoinst package installed in order
to run a test (bnc #677789)
* Fri May 06 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.88 released
* Fri May 06 2011 - ms@suse.de

* Wed May 04 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
a child of <preferences>. The <size> element is moved to
every <type>
* Wed May 04 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
* Wed May 04 2011 - ms@suse.de

fixed the lookup of the boot partition and the cleanup of the
loop devices if the zipl bootloader is used (bnc #687927)
* Tue May 03 2011 - ms@suse.de
- switch back to by-id device name schema (bnc #691199)
This reverts commit: f1e31c85689d6925b9c3069a845f5e252c838936
* Tue May 03 2011 - ms@suse.de

by profiles. This is a follow up fix for (bnc #690554)
* Tue May 03 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, FORCE_KEXEC feature (bnc #691247)
* Tue May 03 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for FORCE_KEXEC in kernelCheck function which
allows to force the kexec call even if the kernel versions
are the same (bnc #691247)
* Mon May 02 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed pxeNotifyNewImage function. This is done inside the
slepos specific code hooked in (bnc #691249)
* Mon May 02 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure bootincluded_archives.filelist contains only files
* Mon May 02 2011 - ms@suse.de
- move the createTmpDirectory code from the XML object to the Locator.
Creating a directory really has nothing to do with XML processing,
the Locator now handles local file system interaction, thus this
is a better place.
* Mon May 02 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed reboot call in kernelCheck function (bnc #689294)
* Mon May 02 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed type selection if not type was specified and no primary
attribute is set to any type. In that case the first type written
in the XML description should be used (bnc #690554)
* Thu Apr 28 2011 - ms@suse.de
- also allow NFSROOT and AOEROOT to be set on the
commandline (bnc #536309)
* Thu Apr 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.87 released
* Thu Apr 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed initial variable setup for haveDASD|ZFCP
* Thu Apr 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- changed searchBusIDBootDevice() for the s390 architecture.
All required information is now obtained from /sys/firmware/ipl
According to this no additional kernel parameters are
required to set the boot device online (bnc #689004)
* Thu Apr 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added alternative location for kiwi hooks scripts which
is FHS compliant: /lib/kiwi/hooks/ (bnc #688792)
* Wed Apr 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added URL mapping table for the opensuse:// url type. When
resolving this the regular expression based mapping table is
used to create a valid location from the specified URI data.
It's possible to extend the existing KIWIURL.txt table
according to the needs of the user or service.
* Wed Apr 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- changed xsl 51 to 52 conversion. The obsolete usb image type
is removed from the XML input. this image type can be either
replaced by an iso hybrid type or by an oem type. As there is
a choice for the user the stylesheet will not make a decision
here.
* Wed Apr 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- netboot: added preLoadConfiguration hook:
preLoadConfiguration: is called before the client.<MAC> is
loaded by kiwi and thus can be used to inject alternative code
for loading the client configuration.
- netboot: added postLoadConfiguration hook:
postLoadConfiguration: is called after the client configuration
has been loaded and imported and can be used for any action
after the client configuration has exported its variables into
the boot environment
- netboot: renamed the default register file which is put on
the pxe boot server if there is client configuration found.
kiwi now put a file called: upload/client.$DHCPCHADDR
which doesn't conflict with the files SLEPOS uses for
registration
- netboot: removed SLEPOS related code, posbios calls and
the evaluation of the WORKSTATION_LDAP_IP variable. All
this will be part of product specific hook scripts
* Wed Apr 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- allow parameters to be passed to hook scripts
* Tue Apr 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added setupBootLoaderTheme() function which is called
after the bootloader configuration has been written. The
function adapts/sets the THEME variable in the
/etc/sysconfig/bootsplash file according to the boot
theme set in the kiwi XML configuration
* Mon Apr 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suseStripFirmware to match in subdirectories below
/lib/firmware/ too. firmware installed by the kernel packages
for example were removed
* Fri Apr 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.86 released
* Fri Apr 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation. Added chapter about hook scripts
* Thu Apr 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- merge in relevant changes from x86 boot image descriptions
into the ppc and s390 boot images
* Thu Apr 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed build
* Thu Apr 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed boot partition id in suse-repart if syslinux is
used as bootloader. We are using fat32 now (c)
* Thu Apr 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- using sfdisk --id now, thus require sfdisk in spec file
* Thu Apr 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed getStorageID function and the evaluation of the return
value of this function. The assumption that the partition id
is a decimal value is wrong, thus calling int() on the result
is not a good idea. man I really shouldn't code at midnight
* Thu Apr 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setupSUSEInitrd function. We create imho poinless
links named linux.vmx and initrd.vmx which are not used
at all if the initrd could be generated by mkinitrd.
Additionally the links are broken if the running kernel
is not the same as the installed kernel. Therefore I
removed the creation of that link files
- fixed kernelList function. the code searching for installed
kernels if the running kernel can't be found was never
reached. Additionally the function did not search for other
than the running kernel which seems to be wrong if multiple
kernels are installed
* Thu Apr 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- update config.sh scripts for the ec2 examples to ensure
the ssh policy and inittab console settings are correct
* Thu Apr 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added new consistency check to enforce that ec2 formatted images are
created as file system types. This required an update to a number of
other config files used for Validator unit testing. Added new unit
tests for the EC2 requirement.
* Wed Apr 13 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed parted type setup, use the form 'set [nr] type 0x[id]'
this is used to workaround a parted bug happening if you
type 'set [nr] swap on'. parted refuses to set this even
though the help page in batch mode tells the user to do it
exactly that way
* Wed Apr 13 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed fat 8+3 kernel/initrd renaming code. This is no longer
required when using a fat32 / vfat partition / filesystem

- added lvm2 to ix86 SLE11 JeOS template
* Mon Apr 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed the --lvm option. The option now adds a systemdisk
element and behaves the same as if the users would have
modified the XML accordingly
* Mon Apr 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure installBootLoader() is called for vmxboot
image if a root overlay filesystem structure is used
- move resetBootBind() into installBootLoader()
* Mon Apr 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- call setupBootPartition() only on first boot
* Mon Apr 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added evaluation of kiwi_ramonly element for vmx too
- added evaluation of kiwi_ramonly element for ppc and s390 arch
- added evaluation of kiwi_ramonly element for non LVM setup
* Mon Apr 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed subsequent mount procedure of a clicfs based image.
The resize2fs call has to happen in any case if the image
is a ramonly system
* Fri Apr 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.85 released
* Fri Apr 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- in KIWIRoot.pm the fixupOverlayFilesOwnership() function
fails to quote the filaname which results in problems with
files/directories with spaces in their names.
* Thu Apr 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- Added a new consistency check and unit tests to ensure that
config.xml files specifying an image type that requires an
initrd set the boot attribute on the <type> element.
* Wed Apr 06 2011 - mbarringer@suse.de
- Fixing a problem with imagewriter's makefile

- don't use the result of a getExecPath() call happened outside
of the chroot, for a command call inside the chroot. It might
happen that the path to the binary is different inside the
chroot and thus can't be found
* Wed Apr 06 2011 - mbarringer@suse.de
- Fixing bnc#679099 - Imagewriter still requires HAL
* Wed Apr 06 2011 - root@s390a06.suse.de

* Wed Apr 06 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added repodata information for s390 suse-sle11-repo
* Tue Apr 05 2011 - ms@suse.de
- if the target-device option is used kiwi normally doesn't
create a disk image file until the image file is created
by a dump off from the target device. SuSE studio requires
the size information of the target disk before the dump off
happens, because it creates that target device internally.
Therefore this patch makes sure that a image disk file is
created before the dump off happens
* Tue Apr 05 2011 - ms@suse.de
- moved from fat16 (0x6) to fat32 (0xc) for syslinux setup
* Tue Apr 05 2011 - ms@suse.de

* Fri Apr 01 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.84 released
* Fri Apr 01 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added normalizeBootPath() function which allows to use
the following boot attribute source locator prefixes:
* this:// => pointing to the image description directory
* system:// => pointing to /usr/share/kiwi/image
* dir:// => pointing to a directory
if no source locator is set kiwi uses the path if it is an
absolute path and in case of a relative path it checks if
the path relative to the called directory exists and if not
it also checks if the path exists below /usr/share/kiwi/image
* Fri Apr 01 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed repository setup for cache creation
* Thu Mar 31 2011 - ms@suse.de

Because of that change kiwi switches to the by-path method
with this commit
* Wed Mar 30 2011 - adrian@suse.de
- do not replace @ to . in package names when building products
* Wed Mar 30 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed xen examples for suse 11.4, xen-tools-domU doesn't
exist anymore. xen-tools is used instead
* Tue Mar 29 2011 - ms@suse.de
- dont't start udev using startproc (bnc #683126)
* Tue Mar 29 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed boot path lookup if boot attribute contains an
absolute path (bnc #683135)
* Mon Mar 28 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added fixupOverlayFilesOwnership() function which handles
all files from the overlay root tree and the image archives.
The function changes the ownership of all that files to
root:root if they don't belong to a user in the passwd file.
files which belongs to passwd users are not touched and
therefore must be added with the correct owner:group setup
in the overlay tree and/or archive
* Mon Mar 28 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed perl warning (uninitialized variable) and a checker error
when building an ISO image without setting the 'flags' attribute.

the array and write a more reliable mdadm.conf file (bnc #678076)
* Wed Mar 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed format string of hexdump. If the mbrid has leading
zero's the hexdump call removes them which leads to an
error when string matching the mbrid
* Wed Mar 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, new option --mbrid
* Wed Mar 23 2011 - ms@suse.de

the option --mbrid. The default is to create a random
mbr disk label.
* Tue Mar 22 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, new info module 'version'
* Tue Mar 22 2011 - ms@suse.de

- added suseStripFirmware() which removes all firmware files
which are not referenced by any module (bnc #681234)
* Mon Mar 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value in __checkPatternTypeAttrrValueConsistent
* Mon Mar 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, new attribute prefer-license
* Mon Mar 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for the repository attribute 'prefered-license'
The repository providing this flag will be used to install
the license tarball due to request in bnc #633664. If no repo
with a prefered license flag exists the search happens over
all repos but it's not guaranteed in that case that the search
order follows the repo order like they are written into
the XML description (bnc #680886)
* Mon Mar 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation and examples, new element oem-silent-boot
* Mon Mar 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for the configuration of a silent OEM boot mode
Normally the oem boot process switches the splash screen off.
With <oem-silent-boot>true</oem-silent-boot> as part of the
oemconfig section, the splash stays on top
* Fri Mar 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed examples, added boot.local script to the suse-live-stick
example which allows to mount the fat boot partition as data
container below /media/stickstorage
* Fri Mar 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed kiwirevision check. In case of a git revision it's
invalid to check for less than a number. The check must
match the revision
* Fri Mar 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, kiwirevision specifies a git commit id
* Fri Mar 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.82 released
* Fri Mar 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed exit code handling:
* kiwi --version => exit 0
* kiwi --help | -h => exit 0
* unknown option => exit 1
* no root privileges => exit 1
* processsing error => exit 1
* Fri Mar 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- move the knowledge about the default package manager from
the KIWIManager object into the XML object. This is a configuration
value and thus the default should be in the part of the code
that processes the configuration
* Fri Mar 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added a new target to the Makefile to allow the execution of a
single unit test, i.e. support 'make KIWIXMLValidator.t'
This is useful when working on unit tests as it allows to
execute only the test being worked on.
* Thu Mar 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file. perl-satsolver from the 11.4 distro doesn't
contain the code changes Klaus made during the Studio workshop
Therefore kiwi provides the required version now in the
Virtualization:Appliances repo for 11.4 (bnc #680549)
* Thu Mar 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed 11.3 and 11.4 JeOS templates. openssl-certs doesn't exist
there anymore. I replaced it by ca-certificates
* Thu Mar 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- increased size of boot partition from 60M to 100M. If
mkinitrd is called it might happen that /boot runs
out of space
* Wed Mar 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- The ISO generation code allows for either genisoimage or mkisofs.
The checker does not support this. The patch addresses this problem
and the checker no will be happy if either genisoimage or mkisofs
is found (bnc #680148)
* Wed Mar 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typos in ppc boot scripts (spaces at end of line, tab mismatches)
and adapt latest noarch code changes from x86 boot scripts to ppc
- removed 01-console.sh from ppc JeOS template. That's done by the
setupConsole() function in suse-preinit
* Wed Mar 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fix the VMware image example. The example does not contain
necessary packages for a graphical user interface, thus
setting window manager and runlevel in config.sh to imply
that a GUI environment is present is misleading
* Tue Mar 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed device map cleanup. The cleanup happened to early
because the installBootLoader() code accesses the device
map under certain circumstances but the original device
was already freed. In that case the installBootLoader()
code re-adds the mapping but that could lead to a different
device name compared to the one stored in the device
mapping table
* Tue Mar 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- prevent the use of File::Path qw(make_path remove_tree) because
it's not compatible to File::Path qw(mkpath rmtree) in older
perl versions
* Tue Mar 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed race condition in CD device search, missing udevPending
- fixed wrong mountCalled variable setup, the return code of the
mount call was not checked. So even if the mount failed the
variable was set to 'yes' which leads to an umount of the root
filesystem before the root filesystem was activated
* Tue Mar 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed local sle11 repo assigned to 11.4 net|oemboot boot image
description. This was to pull in busybox but I don't want sle
busybox in 11.4 to avoid compatibility problems (bnc #679659)
* Tue Mar 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed busybox from boot image descriptions for 11.4. It's
not distributed with the 11.4 media anymore (bnc #679660)
* Tue Mar 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added new consistency check to assure that all credentials
used with any specified "https" repository are the same. Further
the consistency check verifies that the username and password
attributes are always used together.
* Tue Mar 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for https repositories for zypper with username
and password. Here is an example specification:
<repository type="rpm-md" username="UNAME" password="PASS">
<source path="https://..."/>
</repository>
kiwi now writes a credentials file and takes advantage of
the zypper support for this file. This patch also addresses
the problem that in the current implementation we end up using
the build system zypper configuration file "zypper.conf"
as zypper is called without the "--config" option.
* Tue Mar 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, https support added for zypper
* Mon Mar 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed the udev trigger call which must only be called
one time after the udev daemon has started (bnc #668014)
* Mon Mar 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed setup of the loader initrd variable. Normally this variable
is set via the kernel commandline but in case of a PXE setup it
might be missing. In that case we check if the bootloader is
present as .profile variable in kiwi_bootloader and set loader
appropriately
* Mon Mar 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed OEM PXE installation code. Wrong function name, checkServer
was renamed into pxeCheckServer and the image file in case of a
pxe installation is gzip compressed not squashfs embedded
* Mon Mar 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, fixed typos
* Mon Mar 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file, kiwi-desc-usbboot was dropped
* Mon Mar 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added netboot root configuration check. The NFSROOT setup in
combination with clicfs is not allowed. It doesn't make sense
because it requires the clicfs process to run on the NFS server
which would allow to connect only one station safely. AOEROOT
or NBDROOT should be used in combination with clicfs instead
* Mon Mar 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added kernel-firmware package to boot images
* Mon Mar 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, added a section about OEM -> pxe install
* Fri Mar 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.81 released
* Fri Mar 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added function resetBootBind() which turns the bind mounted
boot path into a standard distro path which allows kernel
updates. resetBootBind() is only called if mkinitrd can
be used according to the image root filesystem setup. Along
with the resetBootBind change we also had to fix the setup
of the fat boot partition if the syslinux bootloader is used.
Normally there is a link named boot -> . but on fat we can't
have links so the data has to be moved. (bnc #678159)
* Fri Mar 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- adapt recent changes to x86 linuxrc to the s390 code stream
* Fri Mar 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in motd message of 11.4 JeOS
* Fri Mar 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation for ramonly attribute
* Thu Mar 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed syslinux boot partition setup, links on fat does not exist
* Thu Mar 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added optional type attribute ramonly="true" which forces
the COW device in a overlay filesystem setup to point to the
main RAM memory
* Thu Mar 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update schema documentation
* Thu Mar 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed evaluation of $main::FatStorage. I put it too late
in the code so that the overall disk size wasn't adjusted
* Thu Mar 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed usbboot boot image and usb image type from kiwi. The
obsolete usb image type has been replaced by the hybrid iso
image type or by the oem image type.
* Thu Mar 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation and removed the suse-live-stick examples.
- DB: suse-live-stick are now handled by the hybrid iso examples
* Thu Mar 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added more careful grub install check
* Wed Mar 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- When mounting the hybrid boot drive, select the partition
marked as bootable instead of blindly mounting the first one.
This change makes it possible to update the system if the
image has been written to a writable medium.
* Wed Mar 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, man page update (new options)
* Wed Mar 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed syslinux boot device setup if LVM is used
* Wed Mar 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make the creation of USB sticks more Windows friendly.
For a detailed description how this is done watch the
bug report: (bnc #677246)
* Tue Mar 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file for s390 build
* Tue Mar 08 2011 - ms@suse.de

- netboot: remove superblocks from raid disks if RAID
has been dectivated in config.<MAC> (bnc #668014)
* Fri Mar 04 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for the ncpus attribute on the <machine>
element. It is used to set the number of virtual cpus for a
VM and written to .vmx and .xenconfig
* Thu Mar 03 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed xsl stylesheet convert47to48.xsl. existing lvmvolumes
section wasn't translated into systemdisk section
* Thu Mar 03 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added KIWICommandLine and KIWIRuntimeChecker modules. The command
line module is a storage container for the commandline options
passed to kiwi. It's used to transport the data into other objects.
One successor of KIWICommandLine is the KIWIRuntimeChecker module
which does some checks while kiwi runs. This means kiwi reads in
the image description and after that the runtimer checker checks
if it is possible to build the desired image according to the
specified information. If that tests are passed kiwi enters the
actual processing mode which is either the image prepare or create.
This is useful to exit early if some option combination or data
set is valid according to the XML schema but can't be build due
to other reasons.

- v4.79 released
* Fri Feb 25 2011 - ms@suse.de
- The default tftp block size chosen by kiwi is too small and

the contents of the name attribute. ensconce requires this
to distinguish between system image and initrd image
* Wed Feb 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- Using here documents with tabs in front of the limit
string works but is not recommended. Tabs are ignored
when searching for the limit string but spaces are not,

* Tue Feb 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added unit test framework and some XML validation tests
* Tue Feb 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typos in XMLValidator output. This is
important for the unit test results
* Tue Feb 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed testsuite from kiwi. The current --testsuite mode
has been removed because it has turned out that's it's unused
code. With this testsuite it was possible to run scripts
inside the kiwi created root tree and check their results.
Basically this is only useful for testing the root tree
integrity which can always be done outside of kiwi like
studio and slepos does. Along with the change we will add
unit tests for testing the XML error handling and I plan
to integrate an end-to-end testng framework which allows to
realy make sure the appliance works as expected
* Mon Feb 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed location of radeon.ko (typo: missing drivers/)
* Mon Feb 14 2011 - ms@suse.de

i915, nouveau and radeon for openSUSE 11.4
* Fri Feb 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- v4.74 released
* Thu Feb 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed split sections from oem examples, use the kiwi
default split section for this examples
* Thu Feb 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- changed the filesystem type to ext3 for 11.2 oem example
because we found issues with ext4 on 11.2
* Thu Feb 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed __addDefaultSplitNode() function. A cloneNode() call
is required if you add children from another DOM tree
* Wed Feb 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- speedup prepare step with caches by skipping the bootstrap
installation. If there is a cache available we add the
bootstrap packages into the image package section and run
the rest of the installation procedure in one image
installation step
* Wed Feb 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make use of zypper's autorefresh feature and don't call
zypper refresh manually anymore
* Wed Feb 09 2011 - adrian@suse.de
- offer options to ignore specified but missing packages for product generation
* Wed Feb 09 2011 - adrian@suse.de
- make a difference between arch modifiers (addarch and removearch) and
usage of a package (no modifier). This solves the last problem for openSUSE
biarch medias.
* Tue Feb 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed netboot disk device check. In case of a ramdisk only
configuration there is no DISK set but the image download
should happen into the ramdisk device. Therefore the disk
device check was enhanced to check the ramdisk setup too
* Tue Feb 08 2011 - adrian@suse.de
- fix arch= statement for real for multi arch medias, use only the subset
of global required archs and filtered one by arch= statement
* Tue Feb 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- moved caching system over from clicfs to a device mapper
snapshot table. This seems to be more stable and leaves more
room for improvements
* Mon Feb 07 2011 - adrian@suse.de
- Revert wrong commit overriding package attributes on multi arch medias
This reverts commit 1ef1a8b62df61899480285051c9b725990685113.

* Mon Feb 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation and examples due to new ec2region element
* Mon Feb 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for the <ec2region> child element for
<ec2config>. With this a user can specify one or multiple
target regions for the EC2 image. Specifying multiple <ec2region>
elements creates multiple AMIs. The main convenience is that one
does not have to look for the aki-... cryptic name for the PVGrub
boot kernel as the value gets embedded in the generated manifest.
Supported values are: AP-Singapore, EU-West, US-East, US-West
* Mon Feb 07 2011 - adrian@suse.de

* Tue Feb 01 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation, removed wrong version information
* Tue Feb 01 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for plain:// url types. They forward the URL
(everything following "plain://") unmodified to the package
manager. This can be used if kiwi does not support a special
URL but the package manager does
* Tue Feb 01 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed smb mount. Leave // to indicate the share name and make
sure we create a unique mount point with mktemp instead of using
the share name as base
* Tue Feb 01 2011 - ms@suse.de
- DB: update documentation from review

installing the system in partition install mode
* Wed Jan 26 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed lvresize calls in kiwi which are all missing the '+' prefix
- fixed createSnapshotMap() to know about LVM volumes
- fixed partition based installation with LVM image. The dialog for
boot and root partition selection was broken and there is also a
small fix improving the progress information when installing the
image partitions to the disk partitions
* Tue Jan 25 2011 - ms@suse.de
- reverted the following commits:
eeecf05d029e7e75abfc44a5c2c600263838c50e
438e83976cbd12dde20511ea5d000620082fa066
They broke the yast autoyast and firstboot setup. The provided
config-yast-autoyast.xml or config-yast-firstboot.xml were not
handled anymore
* Mon Jan 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed fdisk support entirely except for changing the
partition table created by the isohybrid tool. parted can't
handle that table and therefore we use fdisk inside the
function createHybridPersistent() but nowhere else anymore
* Mon Jan 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- update schema and kiwi documentation
* Mon Jan 24 2011 - ms@suse.de

- fixed partition selection in OEMFindPartitions(). Don't
take any other than 0x83 partition types into account
* Fri Jan 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- change the layout of the install ISO / USB stick. The raw
disk image on the install media was compressed using gzip. The
downside is that it's not possible to loop mount the compressed
file. But for partition based installations this is required.
Therefore the raw disk image is now packed into a squashfs
filesystem (bnc #665888)
* Fri Jan 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typos in kiwi_oemunattended and kiwi_oemswap evaluation
which caused wrong content in the oemconfig file
* Thu Jan 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for gparted in partition based oem installation
If the partition table does not provide the correct layout
we start a X session with some descriptive message window
and the gparted tool to be able to change the partition
table

- create private __expandFS() function and eliminate some code
duplication by this new function
* Mon Jan 17 2011 - ms@suse.de

start sector and doesn't touch the others (bnc #664236)
* Thu Jan 13 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure fixupFDiskSectors() is called on a non busy table (bnc #664236)
* 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)
* Thu Jan 13 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added new module KIWILocator which perform operations to
locate objects needed by Kiwi in the filesystem. Along with
the new module other code parts which did that before has
been replaced

* Tue Jan 04 2011 - ms@suse.de
- revert last commit, broken patch
* Tue Jan 04 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fix sed expression which removes the architecture suffix
from the image name. The expression failed if the architecture
is also part of the name so it changed to match the suffix
at the end of the name string only
* Tue Jan 04 2011 - ms@suse.de
- don't call setupConsole twice if systemIntegrity is fine
in kiwi netboot code. Also make sure unsetFile(), called
on the dhcp info file, is called before the interface is
released
* Tue Jan 04 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed releaseNetwork() to cleanup /dev/.sysconfig as well
as unset the variables from the dhcp info file which has been
exported into the root shell environment. Those variables
caused conflicts with the network scripts in /etc/init.d

- removed old and unmaintained ppc code
* Wed Dec 22 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 21 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make sure bootincluded packages and archives are not
removed by the initrd strip down functions. This is done
by introdudcing two new functions in KIWIConfig.sh:
* basePackBootIncludes
* baseUnpackBootIncludes
whereas the first one packs the bootinclude files and the
second one unpacks them again. The standard boot image
descriptions provided by kiwi uses that functions to make
sure all bootincluded files can be restored at the end of
the strip down functions called in image.sh (bnc #660743)
* Fri Dec 17 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.69 released
* Wed Dec 15 2010 - ms@suse.de
- if ensconce is used the pattern/package list is already solved.
In that case it doesn't make sense to do solving with satsolver
again. We are using the list provided by ensconce as solved list
directly in that case.
* Wed Dec 15 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed ensconce call and parameters:
* ensconce now resides in /usr/bin, so we can call it that way
* pass -b parameter to ensconce, since bootstrap is obsolete
* pass proper root parameter to ensconce
* Wed Dec 15 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed profile request handling when kiwi invokes itself
* Wed Dec 15 2010 - ms@suse.de

hash structures
* Wed Dec 15 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed SLE11 template which did not include gfxboot branding
packages if xenFlavour was selected

systems which doesn't support the old conf file anymore
* Fri Dec 10 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.68 released
* Thu Dec 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed location of local modprobe configuration file.
The new place is in /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf. Only if this
doesn't exist we will use /etc/modprobe.conf.local
* Wed Dec 08 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make baseSetupInPlaceGITRepository more useful
* Wed Dec 08 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed initial value (set it to empty) for INITRD_MODULES
* Wed Dec 08 2010 - ms@suse.de
- removed obsolete setImageType() function from KIWIXML
* Wed Dec 08 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make use of the --check-config modus in kiwi to validate
and check the kiwi provided XML configurations within the
Makefile.
* Wed Dec 08 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suse-SLE11-JeOS to validate correctly. It's not
allowed to have multiple import="true" attributes set.
Therefore the profile setup for this JeOS XML changed
* Wed Dec 08 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added Option --check-config which validates the XML using the
new KIWIXMLValidator module. Along with the new module validation
from KIWIXML has been moved into the KIWIXMLValidator object
* Wed Dec 08 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of createImageUSB() which has changed its name
into createImageRootAndBoot()
* Tue Dec 07 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed boot partition setup for non mkinitrd supported setups
* Tue Dec 07 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added updateTypeList() function in KIWIXML which is required
if an accessor function changes the XML tree the internal data
structures needs to be updated too
* Tue Dec 07 2010 - ms@suse.de
- don't overwrite the zypp repo data when in recovery mode (bnc #657922)
* Mon Dec 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed cache creation
* Mon Dec 06 2010 - adrian@suse.de
- fix build for factory (openSUSE 11.4)
* Mon Dec 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added KIWIXML methods __populateProfiles() and __populateTypeInfo
which are gathering the profile and type information as they are
set by the XML description. Along with this change the following
methodes have changed: __populateDefaultProfiles
and __populateProfiledTypeInfo. They both read the data structures
created by the first two and assign a new data structure
according to the selected profiles.
* Mon Dec 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- removed unneeded KIWIXML instance from KIWIBoot. The KIWIBoot
constructor creates one instance of KIWIXML which is sufficient
for all operations
* Mon Dec 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed parameter list in 'new KIWIXML' instances
* Sat Dec 04 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed repository update in __updateDescriptionFromChangeSet()
* Fri Dec 03 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.67 released
* Fri Dec 03 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make addDefaultSplitNode() a private helper method
called __addDefaultSplitNode(). Also fixed that function to
work correctly. It should add the default split mode for all
relevant types (iso and split) and add the section only if
those types doesn't already implement a split section
* Thu Dec 02 2010 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup KIWIImage and main kiwi code. The global variables
ForeignRepo and ImageName has been removed. Additionally the
KIWIXML constructor doesn't have the ForeignRepo hash in
its parameter list. Inside KIWIXML the entire foreign data
setup has been changed into methods creating and applying
a changeset. Therefore a temporary global hash XMLChangeSet
has been introduced. After apply of the changeset it will
be removed directly. Along with the cleanup the creation
and check for boot and prebuilt images has been moved into
functions. The preparation step of kiwi now also writes back
the internal XML changes into the XML file. Last but not
least the global variable ImageDescription has been introduced
which stores in prepare and create mode the path to the
base image description which is required to know the location
of bootincluded archives and this:// repos
* Wed Dec 01 2010 - ms@suse.de
- removed xml inheritance. This feature was never used
* Tue Nov 30 2010 - ms@suse.de
- restructured XML data processing by adding the following
KIWIXML methods: __populateTypeInfo() and __populateImageTypeAndNode()
The first method creates the %%typeInfo hash which contains all
possible <type> elements according to the selected profiles. The
second method operates on the %%typeInfo hash and initializes
those part of the hash which represents the requested image type
or the primary type or the first type read in. Both methodes are
called only _once_ inside the object constructor. The existing method
getImageTypeAndAttributes() has changed to simply return the selected
part of the %%typeInfo hash and does _not_ change any object data
as done before.
* Tue Nov 30 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added check that only one type with image="myName" exists
per <preferences section>
* Tue Nov 30 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value in KIWIXML processing
* Mon Nov 29 2010 - ms@suse.de
- if logfile option is specified along with --init-cache set the
logfile to the 'terminal' mode. That's because in that mode
multiple logfiles per cache are created and it wouldn't make
much sense to have them in one file. If the output is on the
terminal the user can decide himself for the redirection
* Mon Nov 29 2010 - ms@suse.de
- require clicfs >= 1.3.9 due to major bugs in former versions
* Mon Nov 29 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed __checkReferencedProfDefined to work with sections
defining more than one profile like netboot does
* Mon Nov 29 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed invalid numeric expression in reqProfiles
- added __populateDefaultProfiles according to XML restructuring
and removed setDefaultProfiles
* Mon Nov 29 2010 - ms@suse.de

* Fri Nov 26 2010 - ms@suse.de
- removed unused cleanInitrd() function
* Fri Nov 26 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make sure bootstrap packages are handled when using a cache
- fixed time when KIWIImage.pm mounts the overlay and provide
a function getImageTree() which returns the currently used
root tree. Move the recovery creation, profile update, and
cleanup after the KIWIImage module creation
* Fri Nov 26 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed overlay setup for KIWIBoot modules. Only if a cow
file exists in the given system image path it's required to
setup the overlay mount
* Fri Nov 26 2010 - ms@suse.de
- don't create new kiwi object if there is already one available
* Thu Nov 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- check image type only if a preferences section is present
* Thu Nov 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed profile check in create mode
* Thu Nov 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- cleanup xenconfig setup by removing conditions that no longer apply
due to the removal of the xen image type which is now handled
by the vmx/oem type flavoured with xen and xenk profiles
* Thu Nov 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make sure the package manager is added only once to the
list when in --info mode
* Thu Nov 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed dumpsolv regexp which searches for pattern names
* Thu Nov 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of boot image caches. It's required to prevent
the kernel extraction from the cache because this is done in
the preparation process which uses the cache
- don't allow logfile option when in init-cache mode. This is
because each cache has its own logfile living in the cache
directory
* Thu Nov 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed minor code duplication inside the RNC schema
* Thu Nov 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- deactivate compression for clicfs caches (faster)
- fixed and cleaned up profile evaluation and use
* Thu Nov 25 2010 - adrian@suse.de
- make "mk_listings" call during product generation optional
* Thu Nov 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- explicitly call SuSEconfig --module permissions. This module
is no longer called by the default SuSEconfig call so we need
to call it directly
* Wed Nov 24 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added the following consistency checks:
* only 1 profile may be marked as default via import="true"
* only 1 type per <preference> spec may be set as default via primary="true"
* only 1 <preference> spec may reference 1 <profile>
* only 1 <preference> specification without a profiles=... attribute
* check that all references used via profiles="aName" attribute have
a definition of <profile name="aName".../>
* Wed Nov 24 2010 - ms@suse.de
- require specific clicfs version because the version before
has severe problems when writing to a cow file
* 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 Nov 22 2010 - ms@suse.de
- follow up: make sure system filesystems and mount options corresponds
with the default settings we use in a standard installation with yast

- DB: update documentation
* Wed Nov 17 2010 - ms@suse.de
- put package manager into solver list when calling
kiwi --select ... --info packages
- fixed clicfs mount in cache mount code:
* we don't want reserved blocks
* we don't want automatic filesystem check
* we don't want to use --ignore-cow-errors
- deactivate automatic cache creation and introduce a new
operation mode called kiwi --init-cache. Caches needs to
be created in a separate call. This has turned out to be
more flexible and prevent customer confusion
- add default cache image location: /var/cache/kiwi/image
which can be overwritten by the --cache option. If one want
to use caches in prepare or create mode it's required to
select the cache location with this option.
- removed baseroot attribute and defaultbaseroot element
from XML description. baseroot has been replaced by the
clicfs based caching process
- don't leave .broken inside the tree if it is not broken
- cleanup the overlay preparation code. The code is in
KIWIOverlay.pm exclusively. At each code point which
requires it we create a KIWIOverlay object and let it
control the overlay mount
* Wed Nov 17 2010 - ms@suse.de
- DB: add documentation about PXE hardware maps
* Wed Nov 17 2010 - ms@suse.de

allows the user to specify raw text that ends up in the .vmx
or .xenconfig file. Certain default options currently written by
Kiwi may be over written by these settings. Therefore the use
of this option happens on your own risk. No validation of the
raw text is performed.

the XSLT stylesheet processor. The function __validateConsistency
provides a place to add consistency checks:
* Added check: __checkPostDumpAction which ensures that only
one of oem-bootwait, oem-reboot, oem-reboot-interactive,
oem-shutdown or oem-shutdown-interactive is specified.
* Mon Nov 15 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added return string to partitionSize() function even in case of error

type into an appropriate image="vmx" type because the xen image
type was removed. Additionally increased schema version to v5.0
with this change
* Tue Nov 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- netboot: added support for hardware maps. Hardware maps are
configuration files for a given range of MAC addresses. If a client
of the specified range boots up the corresponding hardware map
file will be loaded and merged with the default configuration.
That way you can specify in one config file configurations dedicated
to different machines. Example config.<MAC>
...
HARDWARE_MAP="vendor1, vendor2, vendor3"
vendor1_HARDWARE_MAP="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:x1, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:x2"
...
if client xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:x1 boots up the file hardware_config.vendor1
is additionally loaded from the pxe boot server

* Tue Nov 02 2010 - ms@suse.de
- keeping old boot files in /boot and trying to copy
in newly generated initrd + kernel during image startup
could result in not enough space on /boot partition for LVM
enabled builds. This patch fixes that by removing the old
kernel + initrd, before copying in the new one.
* Tue Nov 02 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added languages nb_NO,da_DK,pt_PT and en_GB to the

place. This is because recreateVTOCTable has deactivated the
volume group before
* Tue Oct 12 2010 - root@s390a06.suse.de

on ix86 and x86_64
* Mon Oct 11 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of satsolver if ensconce is used together with
pattern names. ensonce uses an already resolved manifest file
and thus it's not required to solve the patterns via
satsolver (bnc #643442)
* Mon Oct 11 2010 - ms@suse.de
- changed the lvmvolumes section into systemdisk like the
following example shows:
<systemdisk name="system">
<volume name="/home" freespace="1G"/>
...
</systemdisk>
- update to new schema version 4.8 due to the systemdisk change
- if systemdisk is specified a lvm setup is implicitly requested.
Therefore also the attribute 'lvm' from the type section was removed
- Also the oem-home element was removed with this change. A volume
instead of a single partition should be used.

- According to the documentation [1], parted uses SI prefixes when
reporting sizes. Cylinder size is thus reported in 1000 Bytes,
not 1024 Bytes. This caused partitions which were created using
cylinder offsets to have a wrong size. This patch fixes that by
correcting constants in offset calculation. It also removes the
magic multiplication constant used when creating LVM volumes.

space of the filesystem on the targetdevice is filled with
zero bytes to gain a better compression result of the image
file. --targetdevice is currently used for s390 DASD devices
* Thu Sep 09 2010 - ms@suse.de

- started conversion of the documentation from LaTeX to DocBook.
This first version is still missing a few things, therefore the
LaTeX source is still in place and preferred
* Tue Aug 31 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make sure the lvm attribute is part of the .profile environment
of the kiwi boot images. The value is exported as $kiwi_lvm. The
searchVolumeGroup() function only operates if kiwi_lvm is set
to true

- don't call the grub binary from the image this could lead
to problems when the grub binary is linked against a library
which doesn't exist on the build machine. Therefore we use
the grub binary installed on the build machine (kiwi requires
grub for vmx and oem now) and bind mount the grub stage
files in boot/grub from the image to the build machine
while grub is called
* Fri Aug 27 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.58 released
* Fri Aug 27 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make use of the mkfs.$FS toolset instead of mk2fs with parameters
This is more compatible and also prevents us from dealing with
the changed meanings of some mk2fs parameters (bnc #635052)
* Thu Aug 26 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed convert39to41.xsl to insert xenconfig and vmwareconfig
sections also for iso image type
* Thu Aug 26 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added parted as requirement for kiwi-desc-oem|vmxboot
* Wed Aug 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed yum package check. the 'list available' command is not
suitable for already installed packages. Therefore we use 'list all'
which also works for already installed packages
* Wed Aug 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- changed iso image type for RHEL template to use clicfs
instead of squashfs
* Wed Aug 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added clicfs for RHEL 5.4 to kiwi rhel repo
* Wed Aug 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed clicfs mount by not using losetup on the clicfs file
before mounting it via the clicfs command. The clicfs command
now get the clicfs file directly. Problem here was that with
a loop clicfs is no longer able to read the size of the clicfs
file which results in unexpected behavior (bnc #629543)
- Related to that fix clicfs based caching now works stable
* Wed Aug 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- call dhcpcd with the option --noipv4ll to be able to check the
return code of dhcpcd and to prevent the interface from an ip address
if there was a DHCP timeout (bnc #634057)
* Wed Aug 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added package/group check before yum is called to install
packages/groups. This is done because there are yum versions
which silently ignore missing items and proceed installing
the rest.
* Tue Aug 24 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed message about package installation when using ensconce
The problem was that it prints always the same message about
installing bootstrap packages even in non-chroot mode
* Tue Aug 24 2010 - ms@suse.de
- don't check the return code of dhcpcd it's always zero.
Therefore the check has been changed to check for the creation
of the /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-$PXE_IFACE.info file (bnc #634057)
* Mon Aug 23 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added <hwclock> setup to templates. Use utc by default
* Mon Aug 23 2010 - ms@suse.de
- allow setup of HWCLOCK in /etc/sysconfig/clock via the
preferences element <hwclock>utc|localtime</hwclock>
* Mon Aug 23 2010 - ms@suse.de
- RHEL: fixed URL quoting when building with yum
- RHEL: added alternative search path for isolinux.bin
* Mon Aug 23 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.57 released
* Fri Aug 20 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed etc/motd for suse-11.3-JeOS. It was still saying this
is a 11.2 system, cut&paste bug :-)
* Fri Aug 20 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suse-11.3/suse-min-gnome. Gnome is not working no
session and desktop information was installed
* Fri Aug 20 2010 - ms@suse.de
- don't use mkclicfs from image root tree. That will fail in
any case where the image buildsystem libraries doesn't match
the ones required by the mkclicfs binary inside the root tree
* Fri Aug 20 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suse-11.3/suse-min-gnome example. Some X11 packages
where missing in order to boot up with a working X
* Wed Aug 18 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed convert39to41.xsl schema conversion. The attributes
for the conversion from <deploy> to <pxedeploy> were missing
* Wed Aug 18 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed shell exception handling after the move mount of
devices. In that cases the tty devices are in /mnt/dev and
therefore any shell exception failed because the setctsid
call can't find the device. This is now fixed (bnc #608620)
* Wed Aug 18 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed netboot building by providing atftp for SLE11 (bnc #632203)
* Tue Aug 17 2010 - ms@suse.de
- update schema documentation
* Tue Aug 17 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added support for selecting the default boot entry for a
kiwi install image. The optional <type> attribute called
installboot can take the values 'install' for standard
installation, 'failsafe-install' for installation with
failsafe kernel parameters and 'harddisk' which is the
default anyway if no installboot attribute was
given (bnc #624228)
* Tue Aug 17 2010 - ms@suse.de
- update documentation. XML elements and attributes are
now listed in the index
* Tue Aug 17 2010 - ms@suse.de
- update documentation. Better index page
* Tue Aug 17 2010 - ms@suse.de
- update documentation
* Mon Aug 16 2010 - ms@suse.de
- removed unused variable $device in mountSystem()
* Mon Aug 16 2010 - ms@suse.de
- put the code which deactivates the filesystem check
by resetting the mount counter into a function called
resetMountCounter(). Let resetMountCounter also check
the filesystem type to be able to distinguish different
filesystem tools (bnc #627021)
* Fri Aug 13 2010 - ms@suse.de
- update documentation, fixed Makefile and changed box frame
layout into two horizintal lines
* Fri Aug 13 2010 - ms@suse.de
- update documentation. Some style changes for code boxes
which now allows also cut&paste
* Fri Aug 13 2010 - ms@suse.de
- disable filesystem check for kiwi managed partitions
using tune2fs -c -1 -i 0 $device (bnc #627021)
* Wed Aug 11 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.56 released
* Wed Aug 11 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed permissions and ownership setup of read-write part in
split images. The problem here was that the read-write part is
created as new directory structure belonging to root. Therefore
it's required to update permissions and ownership from the original
tree afterwards in the same as it's done for the read-only and
temporary parts
* Tue Aug 10 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make use of the --recursive feature of insserv and remove
my own recursice insserv implementation which has to parse
the insserv output and therefore always fail if that output
changes (bnc #627480)
* Tue Aug 10 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
* Tue Aug 10 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed hybrid persistent feature. The check for the bios
protection was broken which caused the creation of the
persistent write partition to be skipped.
- added support for the kernel option wipecow=1. This option
allows to wipe an eventually existing cow file on a hybrid
iso image to start from scratch
* Tue Aug 10 2010 - ms@suse.de
- changed suse-11.3/suse-live-stick example to use the hybrid
iso technology
* Tue Aug 10 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed coding style for driverupdate support in inst-sys mode
also fixed DB comments in schema for driverupdate section

- update documentation and man pages. some formal and
consistency changes over the entire document
* Mon Aug 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- update documentation. Thanks to Thomas Schraitle
* Mon Aug 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- pxe: make sure the CONF contents are evaluated even if
the image is downloaded to RAM only instead of a persistent
device.
* Mon Aug 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added missing xml object reference to foreign repo hash
when building a split image
* Mon Aug 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- setup overlay mount method in create mode if the file
$Create/kiwi-root.cache exists

- v4.55 released
* Fri Aug 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in config.xml search in overlay mount function
* Fri Aug 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- turn main::Prepare into an abspath
* Fri Aug 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make sure the cache holds the correct copy of the base image
and not the cache image XML
* Fri Aug 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added arch information into caches
* Fri Aug 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- update documentation, patch by Thomas Schraitle
* Fri Aug 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- moved cache creation into functions initializeCache()
selectCache() and createCache()
- added meta information into root tree if cow cache is used.
It's required to have the name of the cache clicfs available
when running kiwi create on a root tree created with a
clicfs based cache
* Thu Aug 05 2010 - ms@suse.de
- improve caching by creating clicfs files from
the single caches and mount them with a cow file for
further operations.... still experimental
* Thu Aug 05 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed xen/ec2 examples to clone services into runlevel 4
which is required by EC2
* Thu Aug 05 2010 - ms@suse.de
- changed ec2 account number back to default
* Thu Aug 05 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed boot image checksum creation in Makefile
* Thu Aug 05 2010 - ms@suse.de
- EC2: changed the way how ec2 images are created. We now bundle
the ami from a raw disk Xen image using the ec2 kernel. Along
with this change the xenboot boot image became obsolete and was
removed in a previous commit. Support for Xen is now only availabe
via disk image and Xen must support PVgrub in order to boot it
* Thu Aug 05 2010 - ms@suse.de
- EC2: update documentation about EC2 and Xen support
* Thu Aug 05 2010 - ms@suse.de
- EC2: removed support for xenboot boot images, xen/ec2 is disk based now
* Thu Aug 05 2010 - ms@suse.de
- EC2: removed suse-ec2-guest examples
- EC2: added ec2Flavour into suse-xen-guest examples
- EC2: changed suse-xen-guest examples image type to vmx with xen/ec2 kernel
* Wed Aug 04 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed changelog creation tool. Don't include information about
branch merges or commits which just copied a changelog entry for
a previos commit into the kiwi.changes file. We also don't include
the svn to git conversion information as I think it's not required
* Wed Aug 04 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added xen guest example for 11.3
* Wed Aug 04 2010 - ug@taylor.suse.de
- fixed respect write protection for Live medium (SD-card)
bnc#623038
* Wed Aug 04 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed MBR rewrite call in installBootLoader()
* Wed Aug 04 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed check for foreign packages. The problem here was that the
correct packages sections were checked for matching the profiles
of the boot image but they should be checked against the profiles
of the system image.
* Wed Aug 04 2010 - ms@suse.de
- don't check the return value of the e2fsck call. If the
filesystem check was forced for example by a wrong system
clock the check runs successfully but the return value is
not zero.
* Wed Aug 04 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed license display problem when no localized license files
exist but a license.txt file does
* Wed Aug 04 2010 - ms@suse.de
- add the vm guest example to openSUSE 11.3
* Tue Aug 03 2010 - ms@suse.de
- create the kiwi.changes file from the git log information
* Tue Aug 03 2010 - ms@suse.de
- add the live stick example to openSUSE 11.3

after it has been changed by installBootLoader()
* Tue Aug 03 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added suse-euca-cloud examples for 11.3
* Tue Aug 03 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
if suse; what a crappy reaction
* Tue Aug 03 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed repartition code for fdisk (SLE10) (bnc #627807)
* Tue Aug 03 2010 - ms@suse.de
- don't call root filesystem check for images (bnc #627021)
* Tue Aug 03 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)
* Tue Aug 03 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.54 released
* Tue Aug 03 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed evaluation of PARTED_... variables (bnc #627593)

* Mon Aug 02 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.53 released
* Mon Aug 02 2010 - ms@suse.de
- again fixed the check for specific parted versions. I now
changed it to directly check for the available options in
parted instead of the parted version number
* Mon Aug 02 2010 - ms@suse.de
- when creating a new cpio image make sure an eventually
existing old version of .splash.gz will be removed
* Fri Jul 30 2010 - ms@suse.de
- put patterns into image package section instead of bootstrap
I discovered strange errors with older zypper versions when
building newer images

- v4.52 released
* Fri Jul 30 2010 - ms@suse.de

- recreate documentation
* Thu Jul 29 2010 - ms@suse.de
- again fixed parted version setup
* Wed Jul 28 2010 - ms@suse.de
- again fixed PARTED_VER setup. older version strings looks different
than the new ones. We had to standardize those too
* Tue Jul 27 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed PARTED_VER setup and tests. If the parted version
is below or equal 1.8.8 we switch to fdisk. This applies for
sle10 where parted doesn't have some options which we require
* Tue Jul 27 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added support for image caching. With this feature you can
provide a cache directory along with the option --cache.
kiwi in prepare step looks into the directory if it finds
a cache serving as the base-root for the system image.
If it can't find one it creates caches based on the
patterns used in the image description which speeds
up subsequent prepare calls for this and other images
* Tue Jul 27 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed solvable cache if only one solvable is created it
was removed and not cached
* Tue Jul 27 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value for $dir
* Tue Jul 27 2010 - ms@suse.de

* Tue Jul 27 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value for $overlay
* Mon Jul 26 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed SLE10 boot images using gettext-runtime. This package
doesn't exist there, it was gettext only (bnc #625392)

- accidently removed an important return statement in
setupBootPartition
* Mon Jul 26 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.51 released
* Mon Jul 26 2010 - ms@suse.de

* Thu Jul 22 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value and test -z usage in bash code
* 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)
* Thu Jul 22 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed documentation about the evaluation of the locale information
* Thu Jul 22 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed locale setup for some examples

* Tue Jul 20 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed changelog chronology
* Tue Jul 20 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed oem recovery for LVM based images. It's required
to backup the LVM metadata in order to restore it
* 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
* Mon Jul 19 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.49 released
* Sat Jul 17 2010 - root@linux.(none)
- install bootloader for vmx and usb after initial deployment
to make sure reboot works

we need to set startSectors to 1
* Wed Jul 14 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.46 released
* Wed Jul 14 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed kernelList and xenServer functions:
* xenServer checks via kernel systemMap and kiwi_xendomain
if a xen server bootloader setup is required
* kernelList is fixed to store the running kernel as first
entry in the kernel list
* Wed Jul 14 2010 - ms@suse.de
- do not fail when image files are symlinks to a device
* Wed Jul 14 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.
* Tue Jul 13 2010 - ms@suse.de
- put the information about the xen domain setup into the
initrd as variable kiwi_xendomain
* Tue Jul 13 2010 - ms@suse.de
- remove unneeded initrd.vmx and linux.vmx files _before_
calling mkinitrd. This saves space to not run into a space
problem on the boot partition (bnc #621859)
* Tue Jul 13 2010 - ms@suse.de
- usb attribute in vmwareconfig doesn't exist anymore with
the new machine section. usb is always present for vmware
fixed xslt stylesheet for this case
* Fri Jul 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- v4.45 released
* Fri Jul 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- recovery tarball: tar is intelligent enough to find hard link references.
This causes the archive to be smaller. But when kiwi installs the root
tree into the image all hard link references will solve into a new inode.
According to this the recreation of the tarball in combination with an
inplace setup will always be bigger than the reference tarball from the
root tree and this causes the recovery partition and/or the free space
inside the root partition to be too small. I fixed this with the
following tar option: --hard-dereference
* Fri Jul 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed convert38to39.xsl stylesheet
* Fri Jul 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of uninitialized value in fs tool check

* Tue Jul 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed zipl.conf creation (invalid chars [], using () instead)
* Tue Jul 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- zipl doesn't read the configuration from a filesystem
so any change triggers a new bootloader install command
* Tue Jul 06 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed kernel search for s390 (image-...)
* Tue Jul 06 2010 - ms@suse.de

code has been changed in a way that it uses a sector
based start value and a cylinder based end value
* Thu Jul 01 2010 - ms@suse.de
- call conversion module automatically but only if a format
was set in config.xml. Exception: the xen image type, which
requires a machine configuration but without a format conversion

- use format from xml if specified and not set on the commandline
for the conversion into another image format
* Wed Jun 30 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed minor ovf creation bugs. Note old versions of ovftool will
not work with this version of kiwi because VMware changed the
option set of their own tool completely
* Wed Jun 30 2010 - ms@suse.de
- update image descriptions via xslt
* Wed Jun 30 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added xslt stylesheet to convert from schema v4.6 to v4.7
the conversion moves the vmwareconfig and xenconfig sections
into the common machine sections and also changes
format="iso" into installiso="true" and format="usb" into
installstick="true"
* Wed Jun 30 2010 - ms@suse.de

into the specified format and/or configuration
* added bool attributes installcd and installstick replacing
the old format="iso" and format="usb" setup
* Mon Jun 28 2010 - ms@suse.de
- moved the XML validation ahead of the first data extraction
- changed the way validation errors are reported. If the xml
file was converted via XSL the error will be reported
against the converted file. This makes the error reporting
more meaningful as otherwise validation errors are reported
that are due to the use of an older schema version.
- fixed typo in convert45to46.xsl. Do not swallow attributes
on packages of the vmware section
- Thanks to Robert who did the last three ones, great work :)
* Fri Jun 25 2010 - ms@suse.de

of the recovery tarball at first deployment instead of
creating the tarball and store it inside the image

appears and the system waits for a key event before reboot
* Wed Jun 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- reduce the scope of the eval around the config.xml file parsing.
The only operation that may fail with an exception is the parsing,
while accessing the resulting document does not generate
exceptions, thus the eval (exception handling) should only
enclose the code that actually may trigger an exception
- improve the XML validation error reporting if jing
is installed on the system

$result{dmapper} were wrong if the device was a loop
destination
* Fri May 21 2010 - ms@suse.de
- removed support for dmsquash filesystem. This implementation
was replaced by clicfs. dmsquash was a combination of a
squashfs filesystem together with a device mapper snapshot
as copy-on-write part. There was no way to properly react
if we run out of cow space which also makes this feature
more or less useles in a production environment
* Fri May 21 2010 - ms@suse.de

a type="vmx" section
* Mon May 17 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added support for extlinux bootloader for vmx and usbboot.
support for extlinux and oemboot will follow later. The

* Tue May 11 2010 - ms@suse.de
- some code cleanup in KIWIImage.pm, unused variables
- call mkclicfs from the installed root tree instead of the

is installed by the image description a warning message is
displayed and the build system mkclicfs is used as
before (bnc #604646)

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 07 2010 - ms@suse.de
- typo in changelog

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
* Tue May 04 2010 - ms@suse.de
- package scripts change: use File::lchown qw( lutimes ); for
changing the a|mtime of the symlinks inside the source tarball.
This means all people who use "make build" from the kiwi source
need to make sure they have the File::lchown module installed
from CPAN
* Tue May 04 2010 - ms@suse.de
- preserve timestamps of source tarballs if not change has

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

- don't create empty /var/lib/YaST2 directory during migration
* Tue Apr 27 2010 - ms@suse.de

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

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)

performance in repair mode. Additionally write backup diffs
to /tmp/backup (bnc #546057)

* Wed Jun 24 2009 - ms@suse.de
- the inode issue comes back to haunt us yet again. The last go
around actually made things *worse* for things like vmdk that
allocate large disks, since 2x the number of files is probably
much smaller than the 'automatic' calculation used for a disk of
that size. The attached patch fixes this by removing the
--fs-numinodes option (which is useless, IMHO) and replaces it
with --fs-inoderatio. Kiwi will assume 16k for inode ratio if
not otherwise specified. We use the ratio to determine the number
of inodes, unless it is a smaller value than num_files*2.
