gbootroot (1.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Made the termcap check just a warning if terminfo or termcap don't |
|
|
|
exist, If a terminfo directory is found, linux will need to exist or |
|
|
|
the test will return error. This is better because the root |
|
|
|
filesystem can still work if this information doesn't exist. A |
|
|
|
minority of gettys will fail if they use termcap or terminfo, but |
|
|
|
this check was removed from the chrooted tests several months ago |
|
|
|
for the reason just cited. Note: check_getty_type_call was removed |
|
|
|
from Yard.pm, but exists in chrooted tests without the termcap |
|
|
|
check. Also, added a close which was missing. |
|
|
|
* Removed an unnecessary check from the fstab test, and improved a |
|
|
|
regexp which was failing if tabs were used in the fstab. |
|
|
|
* State is saved for all check buttons when the yard box is opened and |
|
|
|
closed. Deciding whether to save state between invocations of |
|
|
|
gbootroot via a file. |
|
|
|
* Moved the Changelog from within gbootroot to a Changes file in |
|
|
|
/usr/share/doc/gbootroot, because it is getting quite large. |
|
|
|
* Improved the sizing of the UML box. |
|
|
|
* Added New Template (Alt-N) capability to the Yard Box. |
|
|
|
* Added several new FAQ questions, added a lot more information on |
|
|
|
"How do I use gBootRoot?" Updated the graphics for the |
|
|
|
documentation. |
|
|
|
* Updated to version 2.4.14 of user-mode-linux. Note: 2.4.15 was |
|
|
|
buggy in respect to rebooting, and produced an address number at |
|
|
|
login, it appears to be a bad compile. |
|
|
|
* The Yard Box has new check buttons which allows the parsing behavior |
|
|
|
of the nss and pam configuration files to be turned off and on |
|
|
|
(default). |
|
|
|
* Pam.conf and pam.d/{service names or *} can now be checked for their |
|
|
|
specified service modules. The service modules are located either |
|
|
|
in /lib/security or /usr/lib/security and included with the file set |
|
|
|
if they are found on the host system. The modules are then checked |
|
|
|
for their dependencies which are included if they haven't |
|
|
|
previously been specified. Therefore, the user no longer needs to |
|
|
|
specify pam modules and dependencies in the template if the pam |
|
|
|
parsing option in turned on. Nsswitch.conf can now be checked for |
|
|
|
the service modules it specifies. The service modules pertaining to |
|
|
|
the host systems libc6 are located and automatically included. The |
|
|
|
modules are then checked for their dependencies which are included |
|
|
|
if they haven't previously been specified. Therefore, the user no |
|
|
|
longer needs to specify nss modules and dependencies in the |
|
|
|
template if the pam parsing option in turned on. |
|
|
|
* $ENV{RELEASE} is now initialized every time a check is run on the |
|
|
|
template. Information can come from three sources, the kernel |
|
|
|
version returned from a selected kernel in the main section, the |
|
|
|
user defined kernel version in the ABS, or `uname -r`. User defined |
|
|
|
kernel version overrides the kernel. The root_fs needs to be built |
|
|
|
in relation to the actual kernel modules it will run on. |
|
|
|
Previously the $RELEASE value wasn't returned properly because of |
|
|
|
some bugs in kernel_version_check. This has been fixed. |
|
|
|
* The proper ldd check is now used if a dynamically linked binary is |
|
|
|
detected to require uClibc rather than libc6. The ldd from the |
|
|
|
default location of /usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin is used for uClibc. |
|
|
|
The old behavior of automatically including the default loader for |
|
|
|
the host system has been removed. |
|
|
|
* Fixed pam test so that the 3rd field rather than the 4th field is |
|
|
|
being checked in the service-name files found in /etc/pam.d/. The |
|
|
|
4th field is acceptable for pam.conf. If a path is specified in |
|
|
|
either conf format, that path will be checked, otherwise, either |
|
|
|
the pam default path of /usr/lib/security or the FSSTD location |
|
|
|
/lib/security will be checked for a match. |
|
|
|
* Fixed nss test so that it checks for the right |
|
|
|
libnss_(service).so.$version if glibc 2.2 is used. Glibc 2.0 and |
|
|
|
2.1 used 1 and 2 respectively, but 2.2 uses 2. |
|
|
|
* Experimental busybox and uClibc functionality included for boot_fs. |
|
|
|
* Many improvements to the verbosity output. |
|
|
|
* Replacements path is set just once. |
|
|
|
* The Path Box only allowed extra paths to be added before the first |
|
|
|
generation of a root_fs creation, this was because the values |
|
|
|
weren't allowed to be changed after they were defined. This has |
|
|
|
been fixed. |
|
|
|
* Symlinks have been vastly improved. Fictional or real links can now |
|
|
|
be specified, and links always follow the link -> (file | directory |
|
|
|
) format where either side can be existing dirs/files or fictional |
|
|
|
dirs/files on the system. |
|
|
|
* All of Tom's templates have been replaced with new templates clearly |
|
|
|
marked as Examples. |
|
|
|
* Example.yard takes advantage of the automated NSS and PAM feature, |
|
|
|
and can create a devfs or nondevfs root filesystem, and has many |
|
|
|
new replacements. The inittabs reflect modern versions of dpkg, |
|
|
|
rpm, and slackware based distributions. |
|
|
|
* Example-Mini.yard demonstrates the bare minimum required to create a |
|
|
|
working root_fs. |
|
|
|
* The documentation in the new templates has been improved to respect |
|
|
|
the way gbootroot's Yard now works, since it has been greatly |
|
|
|
modified from the original, and some old features deemed unnecessary |
|
|
|
have been removed. |
|
|
|
* The Debian.yard example has had a name change to Example- |
|
|
|
Debian.yard, and has additional documentation so the user |
|
|
|
understands its prerequisites. The FAQ covers make_debian usage. |
|
|
|
* Chrooted tests in the Yard Box are disabled and removed when a non- |
|
|
|
root user runs the box. |
|
|
|
* ARS and YardBox error handling is much better because $error has |
|
|
|
been made private, before it was mostly global in YardBox.pm which |
|
|
|
meant an error value remained ERROR even when the problem was fixed |
|
|
|
which caused the YardBox to fail to work properly after certain |
|
|
|
errors. |
|
|
|
* When the ARS hadn't been opened yet, the program reported that the |
|
|
|
root device hadn't been umounted yet, this was observed with |
|
|
|
genext2fs but was certainly a global bug. This has been fixed. |
|
|
|
* The majority of add-on replacements except for passwd*, shadow, and |
|
|
|
ld.so.conf have a CVS Id and "make_debian replacement". |
|
|
|
* Original CVS information is now preserved so that non-root users and |
|
|
|
root can't edit global replacements, the basic idea is that root |
|
|
|
will usually be using an editor like Emacs in |
|
|
|
$HOME/.gbootroot/yard/Replacements which respects that CVS versioned |
|
|
|
files outside of the repository are read-only (essentially because |
|
|
|
the date has changed). Users should make copies of versioned |
|
|
|
replacements which they want to edit, for instance: fstab.debian- |
|
|
|
1000 Also, they shouldn't defeat the mechanism by removing the CVS |
|
|
|
directories, although, only root has write permissions. |
|
|
|
* All replacements are now symlinks which is helpful to maintain |
|
|
|
static information for add-ons, anotherwards, this allows the |
|
|
|
author to know that all his replacements are updated in user |
|
|
|
workspaces when he releases a new add-on. Because of this change |
|
|
|
symlinks will now be respected in the Replacements directory since |
|
|
|
the file being pointed to will be used instead of the actual link |
|
|
|
when constructing the root filesystem. |
|
|
|
* Non-root users may now create boot disks. Boot Loaders may required |
|
|
|
root permissions for some methods, and the fstab may need to be |
|
|
|
edited, see FAQ. And some /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules may |
|
|
|
need to be given world read permissions. |
|
|
|
* Non-root users may now create root filesystems up to 8192k in size |
|
|
|
using genext2fs. FAQ explains how to exceed this limit as a normal |
|
|
|
user. |
|
|
|
* Added sources.list replacement. |
|
|
|
* Added /swapfile to fstab.debian. |
