This update provides KIWI v7.03.108, which brings several fixes and enhancements:
- 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. (bsc#1010966)
- Fixed release network using ip tool: Apply the CIDR fix from setupNic and introduce
a new method called deleteNic which replaces the wrong ip call from the releaseNetwork
method. (bsc#1003091)
- Move bootloader_cmdline to etc: For netboot images the information should be permanently
available, thus the former tmp location was not suitable. (bsc#1009032)
- Fix 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. (bsc#1003091)
- Fix 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. (bsc#1003091)
- Refactoring of getKernelBootParameters: Instead of trying to extract the command
line information from the various bootloader configuration files we now write a
metadata file which contains this information as result of the bootloader setup.
(bsc#1009032)
Additionally, the following packages have been added to the Software Development Kit for
SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2:
- kiwi-instsource
- kiwi-instsource-plugins-SLE-12-SP2
These packages allow external parties to generate add-on products and installation images
using the same tools used to build SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 medias.
