Fixed a bug which causes lock-ups during seconf fs creation with
EXPECT, and a bug where .options wasn't being written to disk or the path was being altered when a variable was being altered. This also gets things trim and ready with the coolest discovery being that a nested kernel can run on the host and in it's nest. I'll be testing other nested levels to discover how far this can go and be incorporated in one package which is nice.

------------------

Updated to 2.4.19-45um and the latest uml tools 20021103.
|
||||
|
||||
Added a nested package, gbootroot-nest1 to allow gbootroot to have
|
||||
full functionality under uml.
|
||||
|
||||
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-nest1 with 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

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 all means the source packages are completely
|
||||
developing. This also means that source packages are completely
|
||||
automated now, and vastly improved, which is quite awesome.

Checks for the proper version for newer libc6 linkers. Hopefully,

should work properly with libc6 > 2.3.1, too.
