3     * Fai.pm now copied to new location if woody in use (closes: #125839)
4     * package upgrade does not remove nfsroot (closes: #123463)
5     * many files: use $FAI instead of fixes /fai, config file moved to
6     from /etc/fai.conf to /etc/fai/fai.conf
7     * fai.conf: moved to /etc/fai/fai.conf
8     variables removed: FAI_ARCH, UTC (now in class/*.var), KERNELVERSION
9     variables added: FAI
10     * make-fai-nfsroot sets up pxelinux environment
11     automaticly determine kernel version; added get_kernel_version(),
12     copies /etc/fai/.cvspass to nfsroot, can now write the floppy image to
13     a file
14 lange 1037 added call_with_stamp subroutine, for easy creation of stamps
15     Tue Jan 29 20:19:27 CST 2002 -- Chad Walstrom <chad@debian.org>
16     Added support to run script as a recovery operation. This is a
17     glue-script; we may as well provide the ability to fix problems and
18     continue. Changes include:
19     - Adding a RUNDIR environment variable
20     - A command line option "-r" for recover operations
21     - logic tests and stampfiles to appropriate function calls
22     Checked for existance of character file dev/boot255 before calling mknod.

24     umount $NFSROOT/proc
25     Recursively copies contents of /etc/fai/ directory (good if using CVS)
26 lange 1075 Install $NFSROOT_PACKAGES in a second pass, to sidestep conflicts
27     (e.g. so that ssh may replace rsh-client)
28     Don't set up $LOGUSER's home directory if that variable is undefined
29 lange 1019 * conf/fai_modules_off: more modules turned off
30 lange 1075 * call openvt with full shell path (closes: #134641)

36     subroutine:umount_local_disks, added $netdevices_up, use $tfsab
37 lange 1029 instead of fstab (for solaris support), /fai is now $FAI, use shm
38 lange 1019 instead of normal ramdisk when $USETMPFS is set, strip comment lines
39     when defining classes via scripts, added subroutine do_script,
40     do_scriptss calls every script class/<classname>/S[0-9]* when class is
41     not a file, execute all S[0-9]* scripts in a directory
42     /fai/scripts/$class/, skip all comment lines when definig classes
43 lange 1075 task_partition() call setup_harddisk only if no disk_var.sh exists
44     defclass also sources all scripts class/S*.source
45     add subroutines adddivert(), rmalldivert(); task_finish calls
46     rmalldivert
47 lange 1019 * setup_harddisk: raid support for /devc/rd and /dev/ida, called with -d
48     * doc/Makefile: detect if anything is really to do

53 lange 1075 directories, use File::Find, now sets envionment variables $target and
54     $FAI_ROOT, bug fix in -d option, new options -L and -P,
55 lange 1019 * KERNELVERSION not needed in fai.conf, now automaticly determined in
56     make-fai-* scripts
57     * Files added: THANKS, preinst, prtnetgr, pxelinux.cfg
58     * Manual pages added fai-setup, install_packages, make-fai-bootfloppy,
59     make-fai-nfroot
60 lange 1037 * add auto.master and auto.scratch config for kernel automounter
