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

%changelog
%changelog -n kiwi
* Fri Dec 16 2011 - ms@suse.de
- reverted last change because the required packages are not
part of the distribution which caused a regression (bnc #734887)
* Thu Dec 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed binary packages provided as local repo (bnc #734887)
* moved SLE10 repo from local to remote
* moved SLE11 repo from local to remote
* Fri Nov 25 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed parameter quoting of setupBootLoader() functions (bnc #729315)
* Fri Nov 25 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed creation of initial aligned partition table in KIWIBoot.pm
In SuSE studio the loop device which is normally the target for
parted is relinked behind the scene to a virtio device. As result
parted now sees a real disk geometry and that induced the bug in
kiwi which is not visible if it operates on the file mapped loop
device only. Looking at that partition code has turned out that
the alignment is broken which in the end broke the repartition
process in the first boot of an oem install image. The code is
now fixed to work properly on any storage device (bnc #729636)
* Mon Nov 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- apply quoting of .profile contents during build (bnc #729315)
* Thu Nov 10 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed parameter quoting in setupBootLoader (bnc #729315)
* Wed Nov 09 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure partedSectorInit() comes up with an initial value for
the start sector if the partition table is empty (bnc #729251)
* Tue Nov 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- removed dead code in iso boot code due to the removal of
the swap file support (bnc #728645)
* Tue Nov 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- don't create a swap file if no swap partition can be found in
the live iso boot code. people complained about the creation
of swap files while this is not expected. (bnc #728645)
* Tue Nov 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure importFile() stays backward compatible and ensures
proper quoting. Also make sure the prefixed variable copy is
only created if a prefix was set (bnc #728357)
- switch from tar to rsync based copies. Reason for the change is
because tar doesn't support file attributes like xattr,acls
and fscaps (bnc #728312)
* Wed Nov 02 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed repartition code to create an aligned table (bnc #721580)
* Thu Oct 27 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed appliance name escaping. One can use any string for the
displayname attribute which is now properly escaped via perl's
quotemeta(). Along with this change the image name attribute
must match the pattern [a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.] (bnc #716992)
* Tue Oct 25 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make the info module write the imagescan XML into a tmpfile (bnc #726337)
* Mon Oct 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed escaping of chown parameters (bnc #725706)
* Mon Oct 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed patch typo: $main::global->mount() must be $main::mount()
in this branch, regression added with commit: 9414da9a845f73bf
* Mon Oct 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- don't setup grub gfxboot message if no message file exists (bnc #724787)
- added support for overlay file and archive listing in info module
* Fri Oct 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- xen dom0 support exists only for x86_64 architecture in
SLE11 SP2. Therefore we check for this arch in the boot
image descriptions
* Fri Oct 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- incorporate KIWICollect fixes from ro@suse.de and behlert@suse.de
* next try for KIWICollect: go back to version before Oct 7th
* fix last change in KIWICollect: do not change the loop for
metapackages but the loop for normal packages
* Thu Oct 13 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fetchFile does not handle special characters consistently.
fetchFile "some%%20file" with atftp correctly downloads 'some%%20file'.
but with ftp curl converts the file name to 'some file', which is
not expected. This patch fixes this and makes the behavior
consistent
* Tue Oct 11 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added preException hook which runs inside the systemExcpetion
function to allow further tasks before the exception message
is printed and the shell/reboot/wait action happens
- fixed the check for the installed system in the netboot code
if the luks encryption is used. The check calls luksOpen with
luks_open_can_fail=yes. This means if the wrong passphrase is
given the check will proceed with 'update is required' and
does not fail with a reboot exception in luksOpen
- added hooks preswap/postswap which run before the check and
creation of the imageSwapDevice. This allows to setup your
own swap device handling.
- allow luksOpen to fail if luks_open_can_fail is set
- allow map name to be specified in luksClose
- fixed updateOtherDeviceFstab to make use of the prefix argument
- don't show the LUKS passphrase as part of the boot log
* Fri Oct 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed the collection of multiple instances of one package
based on version, repository and architecture in case they are
source or debug packages.
- make sure updateOtherDeviceFstab creates the mount point
- activate only volume group stored in $VGROUP, prevent vgscan
- fixed luksOpen to generate unique name for luksroot
- fixed luksOpen to stop asking for the passphrase after 3 times
- fixed updateOtherDeviceFstab to work in luks and/or RAID env
- fixed luksOpen to wait until the mapper created the device
- allow luks_pass to be set on the kernel commandline
- added level sorting for LVM volumes to make sure e.g /opt is
mounted before /opt/bob
* Wed Sep 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed download of md5 file in oem pxe install mode
- make sure iputils is there in oemboot for pxe based installation
* Mon Sep 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- allow long names in install iso images (-joliet-long)
This is related to (bnc #716149)
* Wed Aug 31 2011 - adrian@suse.de
- product build: repository prios are more important then fallback architectures
* Tue Aug 30 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure $prio variable is initialized empty for
each repo validation (bnc #714927)
* Wed Aug 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- don't remove data from initial boot partition
- call setupBootPartition() only if systemIntegrity is != fine
- clean up setupBootPartition, create mount points inside the initrd
- clean up netboot code, setup bootid before mountSystem and let
setupBootPartition do the setup of the boot contents
- added support for pxe luks encrypted images
* Tue Aug 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed boot code: explicitly wait until the background
job showing the progress information has finished
- let atftpProgress() read output directly so there is just one job
- fixed fetchFile(): enable progress only for block devices, without
this it showed the progress for md5 and other files when the first
image download failed.
- fixed fetchFile(): fbiterm does not work with serial console, added
fallback when it fails
- fixed fetchFile(): loadCode value from the background job is
returned correctly now
* Tue Aug 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure atftpProgress() finishes _after_ the atftp process has
concluded the download, related to (bnc #713167)
* Tue Aug 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- use $imageBlkSize as parameter for atftpProgress()
- take care for handling of re-sent blocks in atftpProgress()
- fixed atftp error output handling $TRANSFER_ERRORS_FILE vs. /tmp/atftp_trace
- fixed atftp blocksize detection - with multicast the block number 1
does not have to be at the beginning
* Tue Aug 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added atftpProgress() function which implements the progress
information for atftp by watching the atftp trace output.
atftp seeks in the output stream which forbids the use of
pipes for the progress information (bnc #713167)
* Mon Aug 22 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure fribidi stays installed in netboot. It's required for
the fbiterm based progress information (bnc #713173)
* Mon Aug 22 2011 - ms@suse.de
- don't use pipes in combination with atftp (bnc #713167)
* Fri Aug 19 2011 - ms@suse.de
- don't remove netcfg from boot images. This would remove the
etc/hosts file which might be required. Along with this change
also fixed the cleanupResolvConf() function which has to
reset the needResolvConf and needHosts flags in order to prevent
a deletion at a later point in time (bnc #713158)
* Thu Aug 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for download and verification progress
information for pxe (netboot) images (bnc #708711)
- added support for pxe buffered write on destination device in
fetchFile() function used for netboot images. By default a
chunk size of 4k is used
* Mon Aug 15 2011 - ms@suse.de
- in 12.1 the sysconfig.kernel file has been changed into a
sysconfig.kernel-mkinitrd file.
* Wed Jul 27 2011 - ms@suse.de
- allow bootwait post dump action in combination with other post dump action
* Mon Jul 18 2011 - adrian@suse.de
- skip catalog relocation and fixing on apple medias to avoid failure
* Mon Jul 18 2011 - ms@suse.de
- do not try to run boot loader setup code when no boot loader
exists. This commit integrates the kiwi-relocateCatalog.patch
from Rudi (slightly modified by Adrian) into the
git (bnc #705208)
* Mon Jul 18 2011 - ro@suse.de
- failing relocateCatalog or fixCatalog is not a fatal error,
at least not for images that are not bootable or for ppc
* Thu Jul 14 2011 - ms@suse.de
- use the --one-file-system option for tar when copying the
system image tree. This prevents the copy of files existing
beyond the local filesystem (bnc #705717)
* Wed Jul 13 2011 - ms@suse.de
- make sure relocateCatalog and fixCatalog is called
for SuSE installation media (bnc #705208)

- remove 79-kms.rules udev rule from kiwi initrd (bnc #659843)
* Mon Jun 20 2011 - ms@suse.de
- changed __getBootSize() function so that it multiplies the
calculated minimum boot space by 3 to allow proper kernel
updates (bnc #698161)
* Wed Jun 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- changed kiwi version number from a two part version
into a three part version number: v4.85.1. The major
and minor part of the version will not change with
bugfix releases. The following rules should apply to
the version number: major.minor.release. major change
might include incompatible changes. minor change
includes features and schema version updates. release
change includes any kind of bugfixes
* Tue Jun 07 2011 - ms@suse.de
- don't use a fixed value for the size of the boot partition. The
size among others depends on how many kernels were installed. Thus
a fixed value is always wrong. The new function __getBootSize()
is used to check the actual size of the boot/* area and this value
is used to create the boot partition if required. In case of an
oem image the re-creation of the boot partition happens based on
the original boot partition size (bnc #698161)
* Mon Jun 06 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed location of squashfs in drivers section for sle10
* Fri Jun 03 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added squashfs in drivers section of SLE10 boot image descriptions
* Fri Jun 03 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed xsl style sheets, apply changes only if the
schema version of the input data is smaller than the
style sheet version (bnc #697647)
* Wed Jun 01 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>

- really fixed setupConsole to remove the ttyS0 console if no
ttyS0 device exists (bnc #695948)
* Wed May 25 2011 - ms@suse.de
- enhanced setupConsole to remove the ttyS0 console if no
ttyS0 device exists (bnc #695948)
- fixed setupConsole() if search string appears as comment
- use -t squashfs to mount the installation image. This works
around the problem if libuuid doesn't know the squashfs
signature
* Mon May 23 2011 - ms@suse.de
- s390: fixed disk online code, wait for disk device to appear (bnc #693031)
- add SLE 11 SP 2 media style plugin, using sha256 sums for meta data
* Fri May 13 2011 - ms@suse.de
- version update to 4.85 per fate request (fate #311430)
* Fri Mar 04 2011 - ms@suse.de
- netboot: allow network boot in degraded raid mode (bnc #668014)
- netboot: remove superblocks from raid disks if RAID
has been dectivated in config.<MAC> (bnc #668014)
* Mon Feb 28 2011 - ms@suse.de
- don't ignore blocksize value from config.<MAC> (bnc #675004)
* Thu Feb 24 2011 - ms@suse.de
- added support for netboot config files update. The update
happens according to the value of an optional md5sum hash
specified per file
* Mon Feb 21 2011 - ms@suse.de
- changed raid 1 support for pxe images. The former implementation
can only use raid for the root partition. This implementation
allows a custom partition table to be mapped in one raid 1 per
partition
* Tue Feb 08 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed partition alignment code (bnc #670299)
* Wed Jan 26 2011 - ms@suse.de

- don't remove libresolv and libnss_dns from initrd (bnc #664593)
* Mon Jan 17 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed bootstick deployment, don't remove existing boot data (bnc #654617)
* Thu Jan 13 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed fdisk setup in alignment mode. fdisk is not able
to suggest the correct next sector if called with the
option "-u". Therefore only one partition is created in
that mode and the rest is created in fdisk cylinder
based mode (bnc #664236)
- make sure fixupFDiskSectors() is called on a non
busy table (bnc #664236)
- make sure fixupFDiskSectors() only fixes the first partition
start sector and doesn't touch the others (bnc #664236)
* Wed Jan 12 2011 - ms@suse.de
- fixed inclusion of recovery tarball which failed if a
relative destination directory was specified (bnc #663779)
* Tue Jan 11 2011 - ug@suse.de

Not able to create custom graphical image with IBM javapos
rpm packages
* Thu Dec 23 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added check for first sector start after repartitioning via
fdisk. The start sector must be the same before and after the
repartitioning (bnc #659865)
* Tue Dec 07 2010 - ms@suse.de
- don't overwrite the zypp repo data when in recovery mode (bnc #657922)
* Fri Dec 03 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed usbboot linuxrc code which did not write a bootloader
setup and also did not install the bootloader (bnc #654617)
* Tue Nov 23 2010 - ms@suse.de
- don't preserve rpm database on recovery. This could cause
an inconsistent rpm database. Not preserving it could cause
an incomplete but consistent database which is better. For
reference a copy of the old database is stored in
/var/lib/rpm.backup
* Mon Sep 27 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed typo in DHCPCD option test
* Mon Sep 27 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added support for partition alignment with fdisk. Thus support
for 4k-sector size disks (logical 512 byte) with fdisk was added
when using parted the -align option is used though (bnc #637333)
* Thu Sep 16 2010 - ms@suse.de
- removed umount -a call to prevent a read-only remount (bnc #635159)
* Thu Sep 09 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed suseSetupProduct looking for a SUSE_ prefix too (bnc #637996)
* Thu Sep 02 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added check for dhcpcd options. On sle10 we don't have
the options -p or --noipv4ll (bnc #636121)
* Fri Aug 13 2010 - ms@suse.de
- disable filesystem check for kiwi managed partitions
by resetting the mount counter using using tune2fs
(bnc #627021)
* Tue Aug 10 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added acpi modules to kiwi's oemboot initrd. This is required
mostly for fan control on laptops and therefore very important
for the preload images running on laptops to prevent overheating
of the devices (bnc #623607)
* Tue Aug 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 of suse
* 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)
* Mon Aug 02 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added entire usb stack to initrd for SLE11 oemboot (bnc #627439)
* Fri Jul 30 2010 - ms@suse.de

yast image creator
* Mon Jul 26 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed md5 file creation for clicfs images
* Thu Jul 22 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed locale validation and documentation as well as
some template examples provided by kiwi. The locale value
in kiwi is always a UTF-8 locale therefore it's not
allowed to add the encoding type to the locale string.
We also support the xx_XX locale style only which is
now all checked by the schema (bnc #620789)
* Tue Jul 20 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added main::isize function to replace the use of
the -s operator. This is done because of SUSE Studio
which maps a file to a block special under certain
circumstances which causes -s to not work anymore
* Thu Jul 15 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed race condition resulting at times in message of not
finding the MBR and other times not finding the CD drive.
* Thu Jul 15 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed type in getDeployTimeout function
* Tue Jul 13 2010 - ms@suse.de

- added volume label for recovery partition (bnc #618276)
* Thu Jul 08 2010 - ms@suse.de
- moved in-place recovery file creation into suse-dump
directly after the install verification (bnc #620777)
* Thu Jul 08 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added oem-inplace-recovery option which allows creation
of the recovery tarball at first deployment instead of
creating the tarball and store it inside the image (bnc #620777)
* Thu Jul 08 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed this path evaluation (bnc #619482)
* Fri Jun 11 2010 - ug@suse.de
- kiwi overwrites /etc/sysconfig/firstboot (bnc#604705)
* Thu Jun 10 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added oem-dumphalt element which reboots the system after
the image was dumped (installed) on the target device. A message
appears and the system waits for a key event before reboot
* Mon Jun 07 2010 - ms@suse.de
- setup xencons only for domU setup (bnc #561635)
* Wed Jun 02 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed CDMountOption() to use blkid type check (bnc #610649)
* Tue Jun 01 2010 - ms@suse.de
- make sure boot image has enough space (bnc #610596)
* Mon May 31 2010 - ms@suse.de
- don't touch modules in updates and weak-updates (bnc #609879)
* Tue May 25 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed clicfs resize operation. The command is now based
on a 512 byte sector size value instead of a 4k filesystem block
size value which might be wrong depending on the size of the
filesystem (bnc #604646)
* Fri May 21 2010 - ug@suse.de
- fixes endless building problem if function
suseInsertService() is calling in config.sh and system/chroot contains a broken
/etc/init.d/ script.
(bnc #605981)
* Tue May 18 2010 - ms@suse.de
- use tar command to copy overlay files which is more
error prune than the cp command (bnc #476117)
* Mon May 17 2010 - ms@suse.de
- deactivate splash screen for initial deployment
in kiwi OEM boot images (bnc #600710)
* Fri May 14 2010 - ms@suse.de
- added support for displayname for vmx type (bnc #605939)
* Tue May 11 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed space problem when setting up boot partition for
images which requires a separate boot partition which is
the case for filesystems like clicfs. This caused a wrong
copy of the initrd and prevents the system from being
able to reboot
* Mon May 10 2010 - ms@suse.de
- image size calculation fixes:
* fixed size calculation in KIWIBoot.pm which did not take
the journal size into account
* minimum journal size set to 12 MB
* spare space set to 1.5 (former 1.3)
* min inode count is twice times the file count
All this is for bug (bnc #587361)
* Fri May 07 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed old live iso type (no flags set) to work again.
The problem was that we prevent --follow-symlinks in this
mode but then we also have to copy the fixed read-write
part as file to the iso structure instead of linking it.
This fix is related to (bnc #599712)
* Fri May 07 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed mkinitrd call, check if the option -B exists and
don't pass it if it doesn't (bnc #603338)
* Wed Apr 28 2010 - ms@suse.de
- don't use --follow-symlinks for iso type if old live iso
style is in use (bnc #599712)
* Thu Apr 22 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed use of type option in mke2fs. The option -t should
be used because -T has a different meaning and causes other
options to be ignored
* Thu Apr 15 2010 - ms@suse.de
- changed info module to print XML output
* Thu Apr 15 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed info module to work with loop media like iso://
- added package version and architecture information when
requesting the solved packages list via --info

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

- fix multiarch medias, when using metapackages with onlyarch
- change string in README.BETA to "SUMMARY + BETA_VERSION"
* Wed Mar 03 2010 - ms@suse.de

the installation images (CD+USB). Thus remove the request to
remove the media after the image dump to the hard drive is
complete. (bnc #583212)
* Tue Mar 02 2010 - ug@suse.de
- fixed a quoting bug (bnc#584651)

* Mon Feb 01 2010 - ms@suse.de
- fixed incorrect handling of unit="G" values (bnc #574660)
- added kernel/initrd update hotfix mechanism based on kexec
It is possible to put the kernel file named linux.kexec and
the initrd file named initrd.kexec on the first partition of
a USB stick. If you plugin the stick and boot with the kernel
option hotfix=1 it allows you to replace the existing kernel
and initrd with the one on the stick

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

implementations allows to work with pipes (bnc #559830)
- removed 10.3 support
* Wed Dec 02 2009 - ms@suse.de
- added support for custom LVM group name. Default is kiwiVG
- fixed LVM based recovery workflow. the recovery needs to know
about the separate boot partition. Additionally the recovery
partition must be a separate partition outside LVM
* Mon Nov 30 2009 - ms@suse.de
- added options --fs-max-mount-count and --fs-check-interval
as well as the XML type attribute fsnocheck which deactivates
the filesystem check at all.

- fixed setup of xencons when building Xen domU images (bnc #557791)
* Tue Nov 24 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed root tree creation build inconsistencies due to missing
libraries at the beginning of the root tree creation. Any glibc
linked program uses /etc/nsswitch.conf and from there requires
/lib(64)/libnss* libraries to do user/group to id resolution.
If the operation happens chrooted, the libs needs to be there.
The fix will install the glibc package which provides these
libraries in a $root/baselibs directory first and moves them
to $root. After that process the package manager is again called
to install the bootstrap listed packages follewed by the rest
of the specified packages (bnc #536256)
* Mon Nov 23 2009 - ms@suse.de

ROOTFS_FSCK="0", also don't use run-init for clic (bnc #557661)
* Thu Nov 19 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed umount calls before init is called. Due to this
fix the df information after login should be correct

- don't require preinit to call init (bnc #521456)
* Thu Nov 12 2009 - ms@suse.de
- remove pivot root calls (old code) and changed preinit
handling to let preinit run like init. If preinit runs the
kernel already knows the system image root as / and preinit
always ends with exec init (bnc #521456)
* Wed Nov 11 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed exit code evaluation in Dialog function. The value of the
evaluated exit code was undefined because it depended on which
subshell finished first. The solution is to prevent parameter
subshells when building the dialog parameterlist (bnc #547864)
* Mon Nov 09 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed spec file for s390 architecture
* Fri Nov 06 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed sysconfig/kernel setup for old mkinitrd (bnc #547571)

* throw reboot exception if backup files can't be created
* create backup files for files in recovery.tar.gz only
* Wed Oct 21 2009 - ms@suse.de
- use cmp to compare files first before diffing them. Prevent
second find call for backup files. This increases the recovery
performance in repair mode. Additionally write backup diffs
to /tmp/backup (bnc #546057)
* Tue Oct 20 2009 - ms@suse.de
- added support for lang and keytable in cmdline. Support is
only available with the gfxboot code from >= 11.2 (bnc #547915)
- changed fbiterm return code evaluation. Echo the return code
from the last instead of relying to the exit code of the
fbiterm terminal (bnc #547864)
* Sun Oct 18 2009 - ms@suse.de
- search .backup files in home and etc only (bnc #546057)

- Add .iso filter to the imagewriter
* Wed Oct 14 2009 - ms@suse.de
- don't remove libgcc_s from initrd. It's required for
programs which uses pthread_cancel()
* Wed Oct 14 2009 - ms@suse.de
- prevent automatic CD eject on kiwi install. If the tray is
blocked (some servers hide their drives behind doors) the boot
CD/DVD with the OEM image ends up back in the machine. Therefore
we open a popup window asking to user to remove the install
media before continuing
* Mon Oct 12 2009 - ms@suse.de

- added boot timer for kiwi boot images like the kernel does
* Wed Oct 07 2009 - ms@suse.de
- improved umount code for auto mount of removable storage
devices. The function umountDevice() takes over the task
of umounting all filesystems associated with the given
device
- use searchBIOSBootDevice for usbboot instead of USBStickDevice
since we have the unique MBR ID in place this is the better
method to search for the boot device

be a potential issue. The cancel/reboot item is now the default
selection, and the delay is now 30 seconds giving the user more
time to contemplate their restoration options (bnc #544420)
* Mon Oct 05 2009 - ms@suse.de
- added and improved official JeOS templates to the kiwi git
source tree. The official templates used by the SDK product

* Fri Sep 11 2009 - ms@suse.de
- link files to create live ISO in createImageLiveCD()
instead of moving them (bnc #412689)
- do kiwi test mounts with readonly option (bnc #538355)
- use option -J -f to call genisoimage (bnc #538390)
- disabled check for removable flag in USBStickDevice()
function (bnc #535113)
- allow cmdline line overwrites only if the variable
ALLOW_CMDLINE_OVERWRITE=yes is set in config.<MAC> or
config.default. By default no overwrites are allowed
which should add an acceptable level of
security (bnc #536309)
* Thu Sep 03 2009 - ms@suse.de
- allow NBDROOT to be set via kernel cmdline (bnc #536309)
- fixed satplugin getInstallList() function, did not allocate
enough space to hold the package size. This causes the buffer
overflow inside the binding. Also added the flags

binding binary as if kiwi is build inside the BS. Also
fixed the spec file and removed the versioned requires of
satsolver-tools (bnc #532894)

- restructured oem repartition code to allow use of parted.
parted does not allow to create custom partition id's they
are the result of a sequence of subsequently created partitions.
parted implementation will follow soon

The function now uses the same file names according to the
licenses.tgz file. If no language specific license file could
be found the function defaults to license.txt and if that file
also doesn't exist it defaults to EULA.txt (bnc #530497)
* Fri Aug 14 2009 - ms@suse.de
- fixed main::mount() method, setup of umountStack was wrong
now using mount destination for umount not source
- fixed isohybrid created partition table to be DOS compatible
This means the first partition starts at sector 64

- v3.68
- use dmsetup remove instead of kpartx -d
- wait for process to finish when sending int signal (bnc #525986)
- added support for hybrid ISO's. This feature exists with
openSUSE 11.2 or later. In order to use it add the attribute
hybrid="true" to your iso type line. If you use the iso on
a read/write medium the isoboot code will search for a 0x83
partition used for writing OS data (bnc #496505)
* Fri Jul 31 2009 - ms@suse.de
- v3.67

a complete implementation so far, just a first start (bnc #505782)
- added basic support for LUKS extension for vmx image type
- fixed inclusion of custom tar archives if the image
description provides only a bootstrap section like the
isoboot data does
* Mon Jun 22 2009 - ms@suse.de
- v3.60
- allow inclusion of custom tar archives with new <archive>
element. This can be used to include custom branding without
special branding packages. This can also be used to include
any kind of data without the need for a package (bnc #515573)
- added virtio kernel modules to boot images (bnc #515543)
- improved support for obtaining XML information (bnc #513093)
- don't remove libx*, 11.2 hwinfo is linked against libx86emu
- don't remove mkfs/fsck links, just a cleanup fix
- the inode issue comes back to haunt us yet again. The last go
around actually made things *worse* for things like vmdk that
allocate large disks, since 2x the number of files is probably
much smaller than the 'automatic' calculation used for a disk of
that size. The attached patch fixes this by removing the
--fs-numinodes option (which is useless, IMHO) and replaces it
with --fs-inoderatio. Kiwi will assume 16k for inode ratio if
not otherwise specified. We use the ratio to determine the number
of inodes, unless it is a smaller value than num_files*2.
* Fri Jun 19 2009 - ms@suse.de
- v3.59

are used together. Using these attributes together in one
type is redundant and therefore not correct but it should
not lead to an error (bnc #514412)
- removed useless setValidateRepositoryType method
- add support for xml file logging. This allows to keep
track on the temporary changes kiwi makes in the XML
description caused by for example commandline options

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

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

if kiwi operation doesn't take place in a screen session. Last
part of the fix is related to (bnc #420320)

- added custom MBR ID for virtual disks. If the BIOS 0x80 check
fails we still have the chance to find the correct boot device
by the /boot/grub/mbrid file written by kiwi itself

the init process to hang and therefore locks the boot process
completely (bnc #310001)
- added schema adaptions for instsource creation
- make create instsource a non root task, requested
by autobuild team (mls,jcborn)
* Fri Sep 05 2008 - ms@suse.de

- v2.66
- disabled build of images in spec file
- fixed adapter type detection in KIWIBoot (bnc #417461)
- fixed use of package manager cache. kiwi uses a global cache
for building now. This is below /var/cache/kiwi/<manager>.
The package manager data is temporarly bind mounted into the
image root system for any package manager operation.
This allows a faster processing within the second stage of
the image preparation and also alows re-use of already
downloaded remote packages (bnc #417457)
- changed locking process due to cache handling changes.
This is related to (bnc #417457)
* Mon Aug 11 2008 - ms@suse.de
- v2.65

- update migration table for openSUSE 11.0
- fixed suseStripKernel function to work with ppc
- added suseCloneRunlevel function which allows to
clone the runlevel 3 links into the given runlevel. The

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

* Wed Jul 02 2008 - ms@suse.de
- v2.49
- added support for netboot interrupt (bnc #397949)
- removed guest configuration attributes from <packages> section
and add new main sections for VMware -> <vmareconfig> and
for Xen -> <xenconfig>. This change requires a new scheme
version 2.4 and the xsl stylesheet convert20to24.xsl. The
conversion will _not_ add one of the new xen|vmareconfig
sections but removes the invalid VM configuration related
attributes from the packages sections (bnc #397528)
* Mon Jun 30 2008 - ms@suse.de
- v2.48

during netboot deployment in setupSUSEInitrd (bnc #398515)
* Thu Jun 05 2008 - ms@suse.de
- fixed mountSystemUnified: read/write part is ext3 now
- code cleanup: put all bootloader related kiwi module code
into the functions: setupBootLoaderStages setupBootLoaderConfiguration
and installBootLoader. This happened to be able to include
new bootloader types more easily
* Thu Jun 05 2008 - ms@suse.de
- fixed smart call in setupSignatureCheck (bnc #397365)
* Wed Jun 04 2008 - ms@suse.de
- fixed isolinux text boot message (bnc #396759)
* Tue Jun 03 2008 - ms@suse.de
- added support for splashy. To activate it replace the
packages bootsplash and bootsplash-(branding|theme)-* with
the package: splashy in your boot image description. Also make
sure the package pcre stays in the boot image it's required
for splashy. At the moment we stick to the old bootsplash
system by default
* Tue Jun 03 2008 - ms@suse.de
- added getDiskID function which is able to turn a given
standard device name into the udev ID based representation.
The function is currently not used but will be in the future
* Tue Jun 03 2008 - ms@suse.de
- added checkmedia support for iso images. kiwi will sign each iso
with an md5sum using the tagmedia program. If the option --isocheck
is specified when calling the create step an additional boot
menu entry is created which allows to check the media
* Sat May 31 2008 - ms@suse.de
- fixed USB stick identification code
* Fri May 30 2008 - ms@suse.de
- make kiwi build on all archs. This does _not_ mean it
has full functionality on other archs than ix86 and x86_64
Support for other archs is still work in progress !
- fixed find command in baseSetupPlainTextGITRepository
- create generic bootloader functions which calls specific
bootloader code according to the architecture. At the moment
only x*86 and x86_64 have code for it
- fixed grub title setup if multiple kernels are installed
* Thu May 29 2008 - ms@suse.de
- make NFSROOT work together with UNIONFS_CONFIG. The read-only
device in the UNIONFS_CONFIG setup will be replaced by the
nfs mount options. According to this the follwing UNIONFS_CONFIG
setup would be sufficient: UNIONFS_CONFIG=/dev/ram1,nfs,aufs
- if NFSROOT is used in combination with UNIONFS_CONFIG or
COMBINED_IMAGE mount the remote root tree read-only
* Thu May 29 2008 - ms@suse.de
- better NFSROOT fix which fixes kiwiMount to work
when kiwiMount is set. This is required in case of a
non standard mount operation which also makes sense
for root over NFS (example COMBINED_IMAGE over nfs)
- update documentation:
* added a chapter how to build appliances with kiwi
* Wed May 28 2008 - ms@suse.de
- don't call kiwiMount function if NFSROOT is used
* Wed May 28 2008 - ms@suse.de
- fixed blocks/blocksize value used if the remote image is
compressed. Normally this information was created from the
uncompressed image but if the download happens on a compressed
file the values should also be available for this file.
Detailed information can be found here: (bnc #387228)
- fixed NFSROOT mount. NFS mount will fail if the -t auto mount
option is set. The fix makes sure FSTYPE=nfs is set before
mounting.
* Fri May 23 2008 - ms@suse.de
- added sense code checking for CD/DVD drives (bnc #390934)
The required driveready application is part of the kiwi-tools
packages. Therefore this fix applies to >= suse-11.0. For older
versions the wait counter has been increased.

alignment effects a partition may be smaller than the image it should
store. The added size check in KIWIBoot.pm repeats the partition
setup until the image fits in

- patch by Nat Friedman <nat@novell.com> which adds an argument
to kiwi, --ignore-repos, which causes Kiwi to Ignore all repositories
specified so-far, in XML or otherwise. This option should be used in
conjunction with subsequent calls to --add-repo to specify repositories
at the command-line that override previous specifications.

* Mon Nov 05 2007 - ms@suse.de

- optional split section added by James Willcox <james@ximian.com>
The following applies to the new split image type:
---snip---
In the new split image type, files/directories can exist in one
of three places:
1) read-only disk area
2) read-write disk area
3) tmpfs
By default, every directory is in tmpfs and every file is a symbolic
link to the read-only location. The patch I have attached allows you to
specify which files/directories should be in one of the two other
locations. For instance, take the following:
<split>
<temporary>
<file name="/etc/fstab"/>
<file name="/etc/mtab"/>
</temporary>
<persistent>
<file name="/boot"/>
</persistent>
</split>
This would copy /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab to tmpfs and put /boot in the
read-write disk area. Note, however, that none of the files
*within* /boot are affected. They remain symbolic links to the real
files in the read-only area. The main advantage to putting just a
directory in the read-write area is that any new files created there are
stored on the disk instead of tmpfs. Of course files can be specified
here too, and wildcards are allowed. Example:
<split>
<temporary>
<file name="/etc/fstab"/>
<file name="/etc/mtab"/>
</temporary>
<persistent>
<file name="/boot"/>
<file name="/boot/*"/>
</persistent>
</split>
This time, all files and directories within /boot are copied to the
read-write disk image as well.
The 'split' information is optional. When left out, no read-write disk
image is produced since everything is either read-only or on tmpfs in
that case.

Thanks James, great job !
---snip---
The split image type has changed:
Given a read-only image, a tarball of directories and symbolic
links is created which mirrors the structure of the read-only image.
The symbolic link for each file points to the location where the
read-only image will be mounted. For instance, /usr/lib/libfoo.so
will be a link to /read-only/usr/lib/libfoo.so. After creating this
tarball, it is placed in the read-only image at /rootfs.tar.bz2.
At mount time, this tarball is unpacked into a tmpfs and used as the
root filesystem. The advantage of this approach over a typical 'split'
filesystem is that new files can be created in every directory
instead of just a few pre-defined toplevel trees.
This patch also goes one level further and separates some directories
(/etc, /root, /home, /var/lib/rpm) to be put onto a separate read-write
image. The advantage of this is that when deployed onto a diskful
machine, any files created in those trees will be stored on the disk
instead of tmpfs. We may want to have a way for images to specify those
paths directly instead of having a hard-coded list.
Secondly, the patch adds a hook mechanism to the netboot script. With
this, custom images can get their own script code executed at various
points. This is great if, for instance, you need to conditionally load
kernel modules with specific parameters. It can be used by simply
creating a file like /hooks/<hook_name>.sh with the custom bits inside.
These scripts are sourced from the init script so they have access to
the same variables/functions.

one had to specify the attribute checkprebuilt="true" within the
type section(s). If specified the prebuilt boot image must reside
in /usr/share/kiwi/image/*boot/*-prebuilt/. The search is based
on the boot="..." attribute given in the type section (#334475)

baseSetupInPlaceSVNRepository. This function can be called
on demand in config.sh with the directories the repo should

created in case of an oemboot system
- fixed mount in oemboot if not unified system
- better failed message if system image is too small to hold
the boot image data required for virtual disk boot
* Tue Sep 18 2007 - ms@suse.de
- reread partition table after oemboot installation
- fixed repartition code for squasfs/aufs based system images
installed by oemboot
- fixed virtual disk size calculation if squashfs is used
- don't throw a reboot exception in mountSystem but return
with code 1 to allow caller to check the return value
- added support for $HOME/.kiwirc file. It's perl syntax and
allows to set the variables $BasePath and $System. By default
/usr/share/kiwi is used for $BasePath and /usr/share/kiwi/image
is used for $System (#308597)
- use correct passwd and group template file of the
distribution. image descriptions should _not_ provide
a passwd or group file within the image description root/
path anymore (#297610)

- added call of posbios if installed to obtain BIOS information
uploaded into the registry file while a new network client is
registered
- added kernelCheck for installed and active kernel in
netboot boot image, suse-linuxrc
- added image notification if a new image is installed on the
client via PXE in the netboot boot image, suse-linuxrc
- added support for base image usage. This means you can use
the contents of a given directory as the base image instead of
starting with a clean and empty directory. kiwi will use the
overlay technique with either aufs or unionfs to build the
target directory as combination of the base (--base-root) image
and a new image directory optionally specified with the --root
option. As result the image root directory will contain only a
part of the complete image which is the data not part of the
base image or the data which has been touched/copied. In
principal all copy-on-write actions within the combined filesystem
causes data to be written in the image root directory. base
image support works for the prepare and create steps of kiwi
* Wed Sep 12 2007 - ms@suse.de
- show the output of --list-profiles in a nicer format
- added installed OS version check for oemboot
- added revision information to kiwi --version
- added filesystem check for unified write extend. If first
mount failed, try to check filesystem, if next mount failed
re-create the write filesystem of the unified tree
- added support for unified virtual disk images to oemboot.
In this case the kiwi initrd will not be replaced by the
distribution default initrd
- added additional patternPackageType attribute which allows
to distinguish between pattern and package references of a
specified pattern. For example one can use only required
patterns with patternType="onlyRequired" but want to use
all suggested packages of these required packages with
patternPackageType="plusSuggested" (#309989)
- added support for USB install sticks.
- fixed USB stick search, check if device is active
- added CRNAME and IPADDR values to upload file
- added CDEject function to KIWILinuxRC and eject the install
CD when installation has finished
* Mon Sep 10 2007 - ms@suse.de
- v1.64
- changed KIWIPattern.pm to know about compressed patterns. With 10.3
the yast2 repositories provides compressed meta and pattern files
- changed oemboot repartition code to use the same default
partition names than netboot does. This means the partition
are as follows: root -> xda2 / swap -> xda1 / home -> xda3
- make use of the profile mode and added a default and a xen
profile into the netboot boot images. According to this the
xennetboot boot images can be removed and are replaced by the
new netboot boot image descriptions. To distinguish between
a netboot with default or Xen kernel a new attribute called
bootprofile has been implemented. By default the attribute will
have the value "default" but this can be overwritten with
another bootprofile attribute of a system image with "pxe"
image type. Instead of boot=xennetboot/suse-... write
boot=netboot/suse-... bootprofile="xen"

- added support for NBD swap space if NBDROOT is used. Patch by
Jigish Gohil <jigish.gohil@gmail.com>
- added oemboot description for suse-10.3
- implemented the previous system installer code from isoinstboot
into oemboot. The mechanism is based on a virtual disk image
created before. Using the kiwi call:
kiwi --bootcd <oemboot-initrd> --bootcd-system <virtual-disk-system>
will create an ISO image which serves as installation media.
Burned on a CD or DVD one can boot from it and the oemboot initrd
automatically will install the disk image on the disk. Please note
like before with isoinstboot all data on the disk will be lost.
The system will be rebooted automatically and the same oemboot initrd
takes care for the initial boot of the virtual disk system image.
The oemboot initrd will adapt the disk geometry to the real disk
and will boot into the system.

- added patch by Magnus Boman <captain.magnus@gmail.com> which
is preventing a few NFS boot required binaries from being deleted
- added patch by James Willcox <james@ximian.com> which implements
profile support into kiwi's config.xml format
**** description ****
It allows you to maintain one image description while
still allowing for some variation in the set of packages and drivers
that are included. For instance, a good use of profiles would be to
have a 'gnome' and 'kde' profile for a LiveCD. The patch adds two new
command line arguments to kiwi: --list-profiles and --add-profile.
* The first allows you to simply list the profiles available in a given
image. Each one has a name and description.
* The second option allows you to specify which profiles should be
included when preparing the image.
The other part of the patch modifies the config.xml and the code
which reads it. You can now use the following to create a set of
profiles in config.xml:
<profiles>
<profile name="gnome" description="The GNOME desktop"/>
<profile name="kde" description="The KDE desktop"/>
<profile name="www" description="The Apache, PHP, etc"/>
</profiles>
To mark a set of packages as belonging to a profile, simply annotate
the 'packages' tag with the 'profiles' attribute. For example,
<packages type="image" profiles="gnome">
...
</packages>
If a given set of packages belongs to more than one profile, separate
them with a comma. Example:
<packages type="image" profiles="gnome,kde,webserver"/>
...
</packages>
If a 'packages' tag has no 'profile' attribute, it is assumed to be
present for all profiles. BTW, all of the above also goes for the
'drivers' tag too.

linuxrc files. Removed readFileSystem function from
KIWILinuxRC.sh
* Mon May 07 2007 - ms@suse.de

These images could use a foreign repository for building but
could also have additional repos in its configuration. To handle
them correctly a status attribute with either "replaceable" or
"fixed" determines wheter this repository could be replaced
by a foreign node or not. Default for this option attribute
is "fixed"

of changes to the installation source
* Thu Mar 22 2007 - ms@suse.de
- v1.19
- added support for squashfs/unionfs by James Willcox <james@ximian.com>
the main point is to add support for squashfs/unionfs images.
Using squashfs is straightforward -- just set 'squashfs' as the
image type. Using unionfs is a little trickier, and only netboot
is supported currently. You need to add something like
UNIONFS_CONFIG=/dev/hda2,/dev/hda3 to config.<MAC> where the first
partition is the writable one (where an ext2 filesystem will
be created), and the second is the read-only filesystem (squashfs,
cramfs, whatever).

- added functions module KIWILinuxRC for linuxrc and preinit
- fixed permission problem on live media (#252546)
- added support for using the kiwi netboot initrd for local boot
as well. This makes sense if the image type is something not

a good idea to refer to the machines filesystem structure. Therefore
all meta data must be present in the image preparation (chroot)
directory

* Sat Oct 28 2006 - ms@suse.de
- creating an ISO image requires kiwi to implicitly create a boot
image which is copied on the CD. It is very important that the
kernel of the image and the boot image is the same. According to
this I changed the code to use the same <repository> information
for the boot image as it was used during prepare of the main image.
The additional meta information is stored in
image-root/image/main::Prepare

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