1 fai (3.2.23~beta2) unstable; urgency=low
2
3 [ Thomas Lange ]
4 * subroutines-linux: fix log message
5 remove yes pipe when calling debootstrap
6 if NEXTTEST is used, define a class for next reboot. Thanks to
7 Sebastian Hetze for this patch.
8 * subroutines: do not unset the functions task_$taskname after use
9 fill task_tests with code, execute tests before task chboot
10 * fai-class: add string warning to message
11 * task_sysinfo: call blkid on all disks
12 * fcopy.8: improve info for calling postinst
13 * fai-guide.sgml: add hint how to define classes on the kernel command

15 /files/packages
16 * ainsl: create missing path elements if -a is used (closes: #447199)
17 * make-fai-nfsroot: mount sysfs inside nfsroot (closes: #532985)
18 dereference symli nks when copying file into nfsroot
19 * debian/control: Depends: iproute for fai-client, fai-server
20 * fai-setup, make-fai-nfsroot, subroutine-linux, get-boot-info,
21 task_sysinfo, S99fai-setup/FAISERVER: Replaced all calls to ifconfig
22 by proper ip + shell magic calls (closes: #524347). Thanks to Luk
23 Claes for the patch
24 * fai-savelog: cd to the right place if LOGREMOTEDIR is set, thanks to
25 Robin Powell for the patch (closes: #515704)
26 * fai-mirror: remove use of $addpackages (closes: #537544)
27 * fai.conf, make-fai-nfsroot.conf: move FAI_CONFIGDIR to m-f-n.conf,
28 because it's only needed on an install server
29 * fai-cd, fai: get FAI_CONFIGDIR from new config file
30 * fai-server.preinst, fai-server.prerm, fai-quickstart.postinst: print
31 warning if FAI_CONFIGDIR is still in the wrong place

39 * package_config/FAIBASE: remove rsh-client
40 * fai-chboot: ignore ~ and .bak entries
41 * faimond-gui: add task tests
42
43 [ Michael Tautschnig ]
44 * setup-storage/Parser.pm: Set the boot flag on partition mounted at /, if
45 bootable is not explicitly set.
46 * setup-storage, setup-storage/Exec.pm: auto-detect a proper way to tell
47 udev to settle (udevsettle is used in etch, udevadm settle for sid; thanks
48 matrix.systems@matrix.msu.edu for a first patch). (closes: #530656)
49 * setup-storage/Volumes.pm: Updated mdadm --scan output parser to work with
50 current mdadm versions.
51 * setup-storage/Volumes.pm: Ignore another line of output from parted
52 (GPT-related warning). Thanks Andreas Schuldei for noticing this.
53 * setup-storage, setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Properly handle -h, early check for
54 unset (but necessary) environment variables, print full device names in
55 several error/warning messages instead of the partition id only.
56 * setup-storage/Fstab.pm: Be more verbose if obtaining the UUID fails (may
57 be caused by earlier use in RAID array, tell the user how to solve the
58 problem). Ignore exit code 3 of vol_id -l.
59 * setup-storage/Parser.pm: RAID device parsing: $2 doesn't refer to the
60 original expression anymore, store earlier $2 as $opts; don't use options
61 sub-hash (thanks Andreas Schockenhoff for lots of testing and feedback).
62 * setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Properly deal with missing (as in RAID specs) or
63 non-existing (user error) devices in estimate_size; don't do stupid divide
64 by 2 in RAID1 setup. (closes: #525138)
65 * setup-storage/Commands.pm: Proper use of hash reference when checking for
66 "missing" option.
67 * setup-storage/Parser.pm: Ensure that RAID volumes marked preserve don't
68 count as extra RAID volumes being defined.
69 * setup-storage/Parser.pm, setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Added support for raid10
70 (thanks William Francis for suggesting this).
71 * setup-storage/Volumes.pm: Fixed perl syntax error, properly handle
72 existing empty volume groups (thanks Brian Kroth and Cajus Pollmeier for
73 debugging this). (closes: #532321)
74 * Bumped setup-storage version number to 1.1.

78 fai (3.2.20) unstable; urgency=low
79
80 [ Thomas Lange ]
81 * menu.lst: remove year
82 * fai-cd: add option -B, that creates a boot-only CD (without containing
83 the nfsroot, the partitial mirror and the config space)

85 * fai-cd.8: add option -B
86 * fai-abort: add missing lsb header

89
90 [ Michael Tautschnig ]

92 * update to standards version 3.8.1, no changes needed
93 * replaced dh_clean -k by dh_prep
94 * use dh_lintian to install lintian overrides
95 * added override for fai-nfsroot (diverts foreign /etc/init.d.rcS)
96 * Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7)
97 * setup-storage/Sizes.pm: Clarified error message in cases where the user
98 specified a partition is larger than the entire disk
99 * setup-storage/Parser.pm, setup-storage/Sizes.pm, setup-storage/Volumes.pm:
100 Added pseudo-disklabel gpt-bios to support GPT on systems with BIOS
101 instead of EFI. Also installs an additional partition to store whatever
102 doesn't fit into MBR.
103 * setup-storage: bumped version to 1.0.5 (gpt-bios support)

106
107 fai (3.2.19) unstable; urgency=low
108
109 * subroutines-linux: get-config-dir was never run if -z $monserver,
110 which may be the case when no DHCP was done (dirinstall, softupdates,
111 or install using fixed IP); problem was introduced by patch in r5338.

149 patch) (closes: #523625), fixing informal message (closes: #516385)
150 * fai: set STOP_ON_ERROR to 700, this can be overwritten by fai.conf or
151 in a file called class/*.var (closes: #515139),

188 * example/simple/disk_config/{LVM_XEN_SERVER,RAID_XEN_VIRTUAL}: Added
189 corresponding disk_config examples that have a large LVM and a software
190 RAID configured
191 * conf/NFSROOT, debian/control, setup-storage/Volumes.pm: Moving back to
192 Linux::LVM perl module for parsing LVM command output as #488205 has been

229 markers also check whether the to-be-preserved volume is defined at all

250 thanks to Andrew Ruthven for reporting this. (Closes: #504662)
