gbootroot (1.3.3-1) unstable; urgency=low |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* During the boot stage the filsystem type was used to determine |
|
|
|
|
|
whether to use the genext2fs (non-root) method or the normal method |
|
|
|
|
|
used by root. Now the user type is used, this is better because it |
|
|
|
|
|
prevents conflicts if a different filesystem type is chosen, or if a |
|
|
|
|
|
non-root user changes to a different filesystem type in the |
|
|
|
|
|
filesystem box and forgets to change back to genext2fs; however, it |
|
|
|
|
|
prevents root from using the genext2fs method, which isn't a |
|
|
|
|
|
problem. The sudo requirement for lilo is too much of a |
|
|
|
|
|
requirement, and will be changed in future versions. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixed another non-root boot/root bug. The info had it correct, but |
|
|
|
|
|
the actual copy with genext2fs was being done from the wrong |
|
|
|
|
|
location. This has been fixed. This method may be ditched for a |
|
|
|
|
|
far better one in the near future. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Had some testing code which was providing the wrong value for |
|
|
|
|
|
$compress, this made non-root booting fail for bzip2 because bunzip2 |
|
|
|
|
|
didn't exist in the initrd. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Added another technique in the FAQ to show how space can be saved on |
|
|
|
|
|
the root_fs by using the libraries from the initrd. Liav |
|
|
|
|
|
instigated this by asking a question related to FAQ question 14, "So |
|
|
|
|
|
if I understand correctly, it is not possible to copy libc from |
|
|
|
|
|
/dev/ram0 to /dev/ram1 before mounting /dev/ram1 as / ? |
|
|
|
|
|
* Liav pointed out how Yard can make boot/root floppies with a |
|
|
|
|
|
compressed root filesystem. Edited FAQ question 13 to correctly |
|
|
|
|
|
reflect how gz compressed root filesystems may be booted without an |
|
|
|
|
|
initrd. |
|
|
|
|
|
* State is saved for the Compression off check box and the Root |
|
|
|
|
|
Filename save check box. |
|
|
|
|
|
* The UML Kernel entry box in the ARS remembers state now. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Changed the behavior of save_as so that when compression is chosen, |
|
|
|
|
|
the entry won't be the same as that found in Root Filename, but |
|
|
|
|
|
instead reflects the newly compressed file. This change was |
|
|
|
|
|
precipitated by the previous change to the Accept behavior. |
