pkg/dpkg/gbootroot/changelog

@ -1,48 +1,3 @@
gbootroot (1.4.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated to 2.4.19-49um and the latest uml tools 20030202.
* Updated to 2.4.19-46um and the latest uml tools 20021103.
* Added nesting level 1 to the uml to allow gbootroot to have full
functionality under another uml running on the host kernel. This
means the uml will use more memory, but its negligible.
* Wrote and added a C program skas-or-tt to automatically add the
proper mode={skas,tt} to the commandline. This means compilation
will be optimized, and things won't lock up when using gbootroot
within a uml running on top of a host kernel without the skas patch.
* The MTD Emulator doesn't work as nicely as before. Blkmtd seems
mostly broken, and mtdram needs more careful tweaking for total
size, though mtdram definitely still works. This is due to changes
in uml which will have to be addressed since the code for the mtd
modules didn't change.
* Had to add user-mode-linux/usr/lib/uml to the PATH to allow --home
to find port-helper, or otherwise root_fs complain. Have no idea
why this change exists with the new port-helper because that wasn't
the case before. Also, added path for user-mode-linux/usr/bin to
find the other tools.
* The Makefile has been altered quite a bit, and wgets necessary
sources, unconventional but very nice in keeping up with jdike's
latest patch. You can now live quite happily out of the source
directory.
* Added the templates for Initrd and root_fs_helper and the
corresponding replacements that are also used by the source package.
* Updated the documentation, and the README found in the source
packages is now available in the normal packages.
* The biggest change is the command-line interface with the yard root
method. Now distribute your template and let others easily recreate
your root_fs without entering the gui by running "gbootroot --
template your_template" and this is a nice way to manage a
distribution you are developing. This also means that source
packages are completely automated now, and vastly improved, which is
quite awesome.
* When root_fs_helper was running with the newer Expect.pm, and
consequentially the newer uml kernel it became necessary to get out
when the kernel shuts down with a last function right when it says
"Power down" or "bd.*module cleaned up."
* Checks for the proper version for newer libc6 linkers. Hopefully,
should work properly with libc6 > 2.3.1, too.
