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

14 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.
23 Checked for existance of $NFSROOT/proc/modules file before calling
24 umount $NFSROOT/proc
25 Recursively copies contents of /etc/fai/ directory (good if using CVS)
26 Install $NFSROOT_PACKAGES in a second pass, to sidestep conflicts
27 (e.g. so that ssh may replace rsh-client)

29 * conf/fai_modules_off: more modules turned off
30 * call openvt with full shell path (closes: #134641)
31 * hooks are also skipped if task is skipped
32 * hooks that end in .source are sourced
33 * class/*.mod file can now define variables
34 * apt/conf: set Assume-Yes "true" so apt-get (and tasksel) is noninteractive
35 * lib/subroutines: /dev/ida/ and /dev/rd/ support in
36 subroutine:umount_local_disks, added $netdevices_up, use $tfsab
37 instead of fstab (for solaris support), /fai is now $FAI, use shm
38 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 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 * setup_harddisk: raid support for /devc/rd and /dev/ida, called with -d
48 * doc/Makefile: detect if anything is really to do
49 * use gzip -dc instead of zcat
50 * make-fai-bootfloppy: do not copy /boot/System.map to floppy
51 * added prtnetgr; change netgroup example and script all_hosts to use it
52 * fcopy: added debug message if executing postinst, ignore CVS
53 directories, use File::Find, now sets envionment variables $target and
54 $FAI_ROOT, bug fix in -d option, new options -L and -P,
55 * 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
