    19 -support /etc/os-release
    20 * [r1772] ChangeLog:
    21 -udpated ChangeLog
    22 * [r1771] VERSION:
    23 -version 8.9
    24 * [r1770] new-kernel-pkg:
    25 Add support to new-kernel-pkg to recognize ARCH == armv5tel
    26 needed for
    27 Kirkwood based systems.

    30
    31 * [r1757] new-kernel-pkg:
    32 -let the menuentries match our grub-cosmetic patch
    33 * [r1756] new-kernel-pkg:
    34 -fix a infinite loop caused by dropping the path prefix of
    35 mkinitrd
    36 * [r1754] ChangeLog:
    37 updated ChangeLog
    38 * [r1753] VERSION:
    39 -version 8.8_20120218
    40 * [r1752] new-kernel-pkg:
    41 new-kernel-pkg fails to find U-Boot.
    42
    43 new-kernel-pkg fails to find U-Boot if the boot directory is not
    44 on a
    45 separate partition.
    46
    47 This only affects the U-Boot image creation section of the
    48 new-kernel-pkg
    49 script, for ARM based systems. My initial changes were only
    50 tested on
    51 specific ARM-OMAP systems that required a specific U-Boot
    52 partition.
    53 Testing
    54 on additional systems (ARM-Tegra) revealed this incorrect
    55 assumption.
    56
    57 The attached patch includes the following:
    58
    59 - Cosmetic: Correction - change uBoot to U-Boot in comments.
    60 - Additions:
    61 -- Recognize ARCH == armv7hl
    62 -- Make U-Boot load/execute address variable (based on machine)
    63 -- Bug: Correct invalid assumption that the U-Boot directory
    64 would
    65 always
    66 be on a separate partition.
    67 * [r1751] grubby.c:
    68 Try to display title when printing information with '--info'
    69
    70 Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
    71 * [r1750] grubby.c:
    72 Fix endswith() to correctly test its input for validity.
    73 * [r1749] installkernel, new-kernel-pkg:
    74 Fix hard coded paths so kernel's "make install" will DTRT.
    75 * [r1748] grubby.c:
    76 Implement support for "default saved" for grub2
    77
    78 Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
    79 * [r1747] grubby.c:
    80 Include prefix when printing kernel information
    81
    82 When running grubby with '--info=', the initrd is displayed with
    83 the
    84 boot prefix, so, for correctness, also include it in the kernel
    85 line.
    86
    87 Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
    88 * [r1746] grubby.c:
    89 Refactor grub2 title extraction, making it a function
    90
    91 '--default-title' now uses that functions, but others such as
    92 '--info'
    93 could, IMHO, also display the title and thus, use the refactored
    94 function.

    96 Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
    97 * [r1745] grubby.c:
    98 Include a / when one is missing in paths (#769641)
    99 * [r1743] ChangeLog:
    100 updated ChangeLog
    101 * [r1742] VERSION:
    102 -version 8.8
    103 * [r1741] test.sh:
    104 Fix new test case to not care if /boot is a mountpoint...
    105 * [r1739] ChangeLog:
    106 updated ChangeLog
    107 * [r1738] VERSION:
    108 -version 8.7
    109 * [r1737] test.sh, test/results/debug[ADD],
    110 test/results/debug/g2.1[ADD], test/results/debug/g2.1.2[ADD]:
    111 Add a test case for --debug.
    112
    113 Make sure --debug works as expected in both successful and failed
    114 attempts.
    115 * [r1736] grubby.8, grubby.c:
    116 grubby: Add --debug option to annotate "suitable template"
    117 failures
    118
    119 Today, when grubby fails with "no suitable template found" the
    120 user
    121 has no idea why that might be. These can fail for several
    122 reasons.
    123 So add a --debug option to print out the line in grubby.c where
    124 it
    125 failed, a text message describing the failure, and a copy of the
    126 bootloader entry that failed, to aid investigation.

    130 updated ChangeLog
    131 * [r1733] VERSION:
    132 -version 8.6
    133 * [r1732] test/results/remove/g2-1.4:
    134 Fix another test broken by 4bb88f93e6c7cf432e354a164fce8743794a
    135 * [r1730] ChangeLog:
    136 updated ChangeLog
    137 * [r1729] VERSION:
    138 -version 8.5
    139 * [r1728] new-kernel-pkg:
    140 Don't hardcode dracut path. (#768645)
    141
    142 dracut moved from /sbin to /usr/bin, so fix that, but also it's
    143 pointless to hardcode what's in PATH.
    144 * [r1727] grubby.c, test.sh, test/results/remove/g2-1.4[ADD]:
    145 Use dummy entries for text following kernel entries so it is
    146 preserved
    147 (#744717)
    148
    149 Signed-off-by: Adam Williamson <awilliam@redhat.com>
    150 * [r1726] test/results/defaulttitle/g2.1:
    151 Fix up one test result for changes from
    152 4bb88f93e6c7cf432e354a164fce8743794a84a5
    153 * [r1724] ChangeLog:
    154 updated ChangeLog
    155 * [r1723] VERSION:
    156 -version 8.4
    157 * [r1722] grubby.c, test/grub2.1, test/results/add/g2-1.1,
    158 test/results/add/g2-1.2, test/results/add/g2-1.3:
    159 Update "echo 'Loading..." messages to the new kernel version
    160
    161 grub2-mkconfig will create lines like:
    162 echo 'Loading Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64
    163 ...'
    164 - depending on the content of /etc/default/grub.
    165
    166 grubby would recognize these lines and replace them with lines
    167 with the
    168 right
    169 version number such as:
    170 echo 'Loading Fedora (3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64)'
    171
    172 these lines were however not recognized by grubby and would not
    173 be
    174 updated on
    175 next kernel update when this entry would be used as template.
    176
    177 With this patch grubby will no longer look for a specific title
    178 but
    179 patch any
    180 "echo 'Loading" line immediately before the kernel line.

    226 copied to

    251 * [r1714] grubby.c:
    252 Make grubby to recognize Ubuntu's spin of Grub2
    253
    254 We are looking to use grubby as a bootloader entries
    255 manager for the autotest project:
    256
    257 http://autotest.kernel.org/
    258
    259 The project aims to cover more distros than just
    260 red hat based ones, so this small patch fixes the
    261 tool under Ubuntu. They have chosen to name grub2
    262 grub, in all directory references. Also, they don't
    263 make symlinks of grub config files on /etc. So,
    264 adapt the code to take into consideration this
    265 behavior.
    266
    267 Changes from v1:
    268 * Removed nested set of {}
    269 * Made the return in case /etc/grub.d is found
    270 indented
    271 * Moved the dbgPrint("not found\n") statement
    272 before the last return. Also, put a new
    273 dbgPrint("found\n") if we've found a suitable
    274 grub2 config file ubuntu/debian style.

    277 * [r1712] ChangeLog:

    279 * [r1711] VERSION:
    280 -version 8.3
    281 * [r1710] new-kernel-pkg:
    282 Fix new-kernel-pkg invocation of grubby for grub (bz 725185)
    283
    284 new-kernel-pkg did not specify --grub when it called grubby to
    285 update the
    286 kernel entry with an initrd. Grubby would then try to probe what
    287 to
    288 do and
    289 would give preference to grub2 and thus leave an incomplete grub
    290 entry.
    291
    292 new-kernel-pkg did also not specify the grub config file
    293 explicitly
    294 to
    295 grubby as it do for the grub2 config file. That could perhaps in
    296 some
    297 situations cause grubby to do something else than new-kernel-pkg
    298 expected.
    299
    300 Now --grub -c $grubConfig is specified explicitly in all cases.
    301 * [r1708] ChangeLog:

    314 * [r1702] new-kernel-pkg:
    315 Fix a miss-spelled variable name.
    316
    317 "grub2Config", not "grub2Cfg".
    318 * [r1700] ChangeLog:

    320 * [r1699] VERSION:

    324 test/results/add/g2-1.3[ADD], test/results/add/g2-1.4[ADD]:
    325 Add some limited test cases for grub2.
    326 * [r1697] new-kernel-pkg:
    327 Update grub2 support to new-kernel-pkg
    328
    329 This uses grubby for grub2 on efi and non-efi machines.

    331 2012-02-17 Niels Rogalla <niro@magellan-linux.de>
    332
    333 * [r1696] grubby.c:
    334 Add grub2.cfg support to grubby.
    335 * [r1695] Makefile:
    336 Add -ggdb
    337 * [r1694] Makefile, grubby.c:
    338 Tweak some make options.
    339
    340 Some functions are only used in dbgPrintf() arguments. As such,
    341 errors/warnings on unused functions need to be disabled.
    342
    343 Also, use -std=gnu99.
    344
    345 Also, add a debug target.
    346 * [r1693] grubby.c:
    347 Rename entrySeparator to entryStart.
    348
    349 Since we're actually using it to detect the start of an entry
    350 (and
    351 specifically not the end), name this slightly better.
    352 * [r1692] grubby.c:
    353 Convert configFileInfo structs to C99-style initializers.
    354
    355 Get rid of the old initializers where struct names were commends,
    356 in
    357 favor of C99-style assignment, so new fields can be put at
    358 logical
    359 places without having to change the whole file.
    360 * [r1691] new-kernel-pkg, uboot[ADD]:
    361 Add uboot support for ARM (#712199)
