freesource	aea0e0054b	Found another nasty, where bad symlinks were being produced in --home . .. this isn't wanted, actually I'm not sure why I changed to this behavior to begin with, but remember that repl dirs weren't formed in one instance, but this isn't a problem anymore.	22 years ago
freesource	138d4ba643	Explanation about the new perl 5.8 series packages for perl-Expect.	22 years ago
freesource	673d4856b4	Adds stop and go to the uml_mconsole interfact for the UML Box.	22 years ago
freesource	e6e74f851a	Fixes another nasty.	22 years ago
freesource	5571e308fc	Lots of good changes.	22 years ago
freesource	8689e00a9a	Some stuff which I neglected to commit.	22 years ago
freesource	c76195a69c	Final touches.	22 years ago
freesource	1e51a10101	This pretty much completes the development cycle for 1.4.0, unless anything major comes up. Added some links to the webpage, information how to customize the kernel in the source package, and ups the date, though that will probably be done one more time.	22 years ago
freesource	9cede96d0f	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.	22 years ago
freesource	8c8fd921db	This adds a new c program skas-or-tt mostly from uml code which automates the recognition of whether or not the host kernel has the skas patch applied. Makefile edits itself, and all gui is automated.	22 years ago
freesource	b7d2a338d7	This adds a new c program skas-or-tt mostly from uml code which automates the recognition of whether or not the host kernel has the skas patch applied. Makefile edits itself, and all gui is automated.	22 years ago
freesource	62ac34672a	This adds a new c program skas-or-tt mostly from uml code which automates the recognition of whether or not the host kernel has the skas patch applied. Makefile edits itself, and all gui is automated.	22 years ago
freesource	1578dff32e	Thought it was time to update the copy to 2003. Fixed a few minor bugs founds while running underneath uml. One percular bug pertaining to OPTIONS was found after running a uml from the uml box then closing it again making a new root_fs and opening it again the options were missing. Haven't noticed this on the host system before. Will also need to add a c program to determine whether the host kernel is tt or skas to auto-magically determing what kernel mode to run in.	22 years ago
freesource	0eadd6eec2	Tested gbootroot-nest1 within a uml, nice, will have to tweak the logic for cmdline only to set-up .gbootroot* properly, and the logic pertaining to mode={tt,skas}, but other than that things are working nicely. Will have to come out with a new make-debian-x11 package, but then again will need to come out with a new root_fs representing the nesting changes, too.	22 years ago
freesource	28ba4c9b94	Preping for release.	22 years ago
freesource	405d19a98e	This gets things working nicely. Now exits sooner for root_fs_helper because the nbd line no longer presents itself. Makefile is almost done.	22 years ago
freesource	7df8826e1e	Made linux, linuxbr to avoid overlapping with other packages, ofcource this could be made a variable, too, in BootRoot.pm.	22 years ago
freesource	81051244ae	Just properly orders --help a little	22 years ago
freesource	953854a5a4	This gets everything working properly. Now --home works properly both for gui-mode and cli, and all executables can be properly specified. Ex: ./gbootroot --home . --template Example-Mini.yard --uml-exclusively on --expect-program ./expect_uml --uml-kerneluser-mode-linux/usr/bin/linux --root-fs-helper root_filesystem/root_fs_helper ./gbootroot --home . --template Example-Mini.yard --genext2fs-dir genext2fs/ --filesystem-command "genext2fs -z -r0"	22 years ago
freesource	29e9e73202	This allows adds the kernel option for UML in expect_uml, it's amazing what you find when you remove the system package. Getting closer.	22 years ago
freesource	6ad8077da8	documented genext2fs-dir	22 years ago
freesource	4c90daea57	Changed linuxbr to linux, may ultimately change it to linux so it doesn't conflict with user-mode-linux, need to check on the set-up. Probably gbootroot should be made to conflict with these deb packages. Options has more explanation and another hidden option added.	22 years ago
freesource	8827b1b0d4	Some even more elaborate changes so that the gui can be ran from the immediate directory for testing using only the --home option. Also, made sure genext2fs can be found.	22 years ago
freesource	705d8a7856	Now there are some hidden options so that root_fs can be made from the programs from within the source code like: perl -I . ./gbootroot --home . --template Helper.yard --root-filename root_fs_experiment --root-fs-helper-location ./root_filesystem/root_fs_helper --uml-exclusively on --expect-program ./expect_uml	22 years ago
freesource	578ddd6dd2	Now things are working perfectly. Had to add a last statement to the while wrapper for expect_uml, this is a new bug. And added preserve-permissions.	22 years ago
freesource	b78a85686f	This add --help\|-h and the corresponding text. Just need to get uml-exlusively working properly	22 years ago
freesource	f960c66fcb	This gets just about every option working, except for uml-kernel and preserve-ownership. Adds color --stdout. Basically, the bare min is --template and --stdout for display on console.	22 years ago
freesource	2f4e1cdcc6	This gets read_contents_file working, hopefully error() is the only gtk related sub to watch out for.	22 years ago
freesource	830a1c109a	Now gbootroot is functioning well as either a GUI or CLI in relation to whether or not arguments are added. Options.pm allows things to be checked before interpreting so that a determination can be made what mode to go in.	22 years ago
freesource	8db50ec6ac	This adds some more doc, and begins to explore GetOpt, unfortunately it's presently going into an endless loop when there is an incorrect opt.	22 years ago
freesource	79631e765c	Planning documentaion for variables for commandline.	22 years ago
freesource	9de07f7f5e	This is the start of giving gbootroot some commandline functionality similar to bootroot, but more specific with the primary goal of allowing root_fs prototyping without the use of the GUI.	22 years ago
freesource	d077def592	Improved the parameter explanation .. ramdisk_size really wasn't crucial, and removed mem=16M as a default, first of all this is already standard, and secondly it may cause problems for users unaware of the MTD Emulators default settings.	23 years ago
freesource	59c8a5333e	This only checks Root_Fs for $ubd0, which makes a lot more sense and avoides unecessary duplications.	23 years ago
freesource	bcf2987f21	This adds better memory ratios for blkmtd.	23 years ago
freesource	63dc15fe8e	Improves the mtd_init regexp even more.	23 years ago
freesource	2e41744e08	This makes for a better regexp .. will also match "/sbin/init 2" for mtd_init	23 years ago
freesource	24897ac61e	This goes a step farther an allows ubd to be ubd\d{1] rather then confined to 1, however, mtd and mtdblock will be 0 for the first module invocation.	23 years ago
freesource	80ebd88aef	This allow ubd0\w?, this works with mtdram, but causes blkmtd to fail.	23 years ago
freesource	86f767a446	Yard won't attempt to make /dev on compressed fs and ro if /dev is a symbolic link, won't complain when there is an unitialized value in concatation in Boot, Ramdisk_size is always 4096 for mtdram, this setting isn't really necessary, but is left anyways.	23 years ago
freesource	4da04f8623	This adds ceil() to $total_size, and always makes sure that ramdisk_size is at least 4096.	23 years ago
freesource	bf4200e3c5	Fixed a little bug where initrd= wasn't being passed. Everythings looks good with the default Initrd.gz.	23 years ago
freesource	ecc03b1980	This completes the init and mtd_init recognization .. added single.	23 years ago
freesource	967df903ea	This adds the mtd_init option to the kernel command-line so that the pivot_root routine can be interacted with, and also checks for alternative runlevels, all assigned to $init.	23 years ago
freesource	74dd88069a	This is even nicer. It gives both mtdram and blkmtd the same memory parameters for mem. Just have to watch out for that nasty cramfsck by Linus.	23 years ago
freesource	fadcb89061	More mem adjustments, this time to the spin wheel, 1024 for 1, 8192 for 2, these are great setting for mtdram .. <16M files can use the small adj. >16M should zero down with 3 and increment with 2nd button.	23 years ago
freesource	30a11e4bf2	A few more improvements to the mtd code to handle memory better 16M increments for mtdram, will probably do a similiar thing for blkmtd which appears to be exponential 16 32 64 etc .. ofcourse at 128 things can get narly.	23 years ago
freesource	6b3eda4286	This pretty much covers it, have both mtdram and blkmtd working, just need to figure out where Initrd.gz will be stored.	23 years ago
freesource	7fcb2ca973	Worked out lots of issues with mem, even using POSIX, tested well for mtdram, interface is almost there.	23 years ago
freesource	07694a9bf1	This sets up everything, and tests the new mtd interface, looks good.	23 years ago
