gbootroot (1.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
|
|
|
|
* Added a README for users installing from the source package.
|
|
* Removed the enforcement of the yard suffix rule for templates,
|
|
because it was never really documented; however, it is still a nice
|
|
rule to follow despite that it is not enforced anymore.
|
|
* Added an archictecture-dependent replacements repository directory.
|
|
* Fixed the freezing behavior for particularly large templates, like
|
|
the ones produced by make_debian, and make_debian-X11. However,
|
|
overly large buffers in the verbosity box still hog cpu in a big
|
|
way. The best procedure for now is to open and close the box
|
|
between stages.
|
|
* 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 2.4.16 of user-mode-linux.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* A dialog box has been added which will pop up when the lilo stage
|
|
has been reached for a normal user, explaining the requirements,
|
|
and what the user can do next which is explained in detail in the
|
|
FAQ.
|
|
* 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.

gbootroot (1.2.14-1) unstable; urgency=low
|
|
|
|
* Append field in the ABS now saves state for non-root users. Before it only
|
|
remembered state if lilo.conf could actually be read, ofcourse, this wasn't
|
|
an option for non-root users. The beginnings of non-root boot and root_fs
|
|
creation capabilities have been put into place, but haven't been fully
|
|
implemented. The end result of this is that directories created in
|
|
$tmp are now static for non-root users and now use the userid number to
|
|
keep track of different non-root users.
|
|
|
|
* The author of swim came out with a new version he now calls dswim. This
|
|
means Debian System Wide Information Manager, but the "d" could also stand
|
|
for different. Changes have been made to make_debian to facilitate this
|
|
much more stable version of swim, and better non-installed package checks
|
|
have been implemented in make_debian.
|
|
|
|
* The control dependencies have been vastly improved, and reflect the change
|
|
from swim to dswim. Yard_chrooted_tests is now put in a gbootroot specific
|
|
directory since it is unique to gbootroot.
|
|
|
|
* The lastest user-mode-linux is included: 2.4.12
|
|
|
|
* Updated the documentation, and it includes a better explanation in step 7
|
|
for "How can I test gBootRoot?"
|
|
|
|
* Added checks for the existence of ash, lilo, bzip2, and file for the 2
|
|
disk compression method.
