    3     * [r1753] VERSION:
    4      -version 8.8_20120218
    5     * [r1752] new-kernel-pkg:
    6      new-kernel-pkg fails to find U-Boot.
    7      
    8      new-kernel-pkg fails to find U-Boot if the boot directory is not
    9      on a
    10      separate partition.
    11      
    12      This only affects the U-Boot image creation section of the
    13      new-kernel-pkg
    14      script, for ARM based systems. My initial changes were only
    15      tested on
    16      specific ARM-OMAP systems that required a specific U-Boot
    17      partition.
    18      Testing
    19      on additional systems (ARM-Tegra) revealed this incorrect
    20      assumption.
    21      
    22      The attached patch includes the following:
    23      
    24      - Cosmetic: Correction - change uBoot to U-Boot in comments.
    25      - Additions:
    26      -- Recognize ARCH == armv7hl
    27      -- Make U-Boot load/execute address variable (based on machine)
    28      -- Bug: Correct invalid assumption that the U-Boot directory
    29      would
    30      always
    31      be on a separate partition.
    32     * [r1751] grubby.c:
    33      Try to display title when printing information with '--info'
    34      
    35      Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
    36     * [r1750] grubby.c:
    37      Fix endswith() to correctly test its input for validity.
    38     * [r1749] installkernel, new-kernel-pkg:
    39      Fix hard coded paths so kernel's "make install" will DTRT.
    40     * [r1748] grubby.c:
    41      Implement support for "default saved" for grub2
    42      
    43      Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
    44     * [r1747] grubby.c:
    45      Include prefix when printing kernel information
    46      
    47      When running grubby with '--info=', the initrd is displayed with
    48      the
    49      boot prefix, so, for correctness, also include it in the kernel
    50      line.
    51      
    52      Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
    53     * [r1746] grubby.c:
    54      Refactor grub2 title extraction, making it a function
    55      
    56      '--default-title' now uses that functions, but others such as
    57      '--info'
    58      could, IMHO, also display the title and thus, use the refactored
    59      function.

    62     * [r1745] grubby.c:
    63      Include a / when one is missing in paths (#769641)
    64     * [r1743] ChangeLog:
    65      updated ChangeLog
    66     * [r1742] VERSION:
    67      -version 8.8
    68     * [r1741] test.sh:
    69      Fix new test case to not care if /boot is a mountpoint...
    70     * [r1739] ChangeLog:
    71      updated ChangeLog
    72     * [r1738] VERSION:
    73      -version 8.7
    74     * [r1737] test.sh, test/results/debug[ADD],
    75      test/results/debug/g2.1[ADD], test/results/debug/g2.1.2[ADD]:
    76      Add a test case for --debug.
    77      
    78      Make sure --debug works as expected in both successful and failed
    79      attempts.
    80     * [r1736] grubby.8, grubby.c:
    81      grubby: Add --debug option to annotate "suitable template"
    82      failures
    83      
    84      Today, when grubby fails with "no suitable template found" the
    85      user
    86      has no idea why that might be. These can fail for several
    87      reasons.
    88      So add a --debug option to print out the line in grubby.c where
    89      it
    90      failed, a text message describing the failure, and a copy of the
    91      bootloader entry that failed, to aid investigation.

    94     * [r1734] ChangeLog:
    95      updated ChangeLog
    96     * [r1733] VERSION:
    97      -version 8.6
    98     * [r1732] test/results/remove/g2-1.4:
    99      Fix another test broken by 4bb88f93e6c7cf432e354a164fce8743794a
    100     * [r1730] ChangeLog:
    101      updated ChangeLog
    102     * [r1729] VERSION:
    103      -version 8.5
    104     * [r1728] new-kernel-pkg:
    105      Don't hardcode dracut path. (#768645)
    106      
    107      dracut moved from /sbin to /usr/bin, so fix that, but also it's
    108      pointless to hardcode what's in PATH.
    109     * [r1727] grubby.c, test.sh, test/results/remove/g2-1.4[ADD]:
    110      Use dummy entries for text following kernel entries so it is
    111      preserved
    112      (#744717)
    113      
    114      Signed-off-by: Adam Williamson <awilliam@redhat.com>
    115     * [r1726] test/results/defaulttitle/g2.1:
    116      Fix up one test result for changes from
    117      4bb88f93e6c7cf432e354a164fce8743794a84a5
    118     * [r1724] ChangeLog:
    119      updated ChangeLog
    120     * [r1723] VERSION:
    121      -version 8.4
    122     * [r1722] grubby.c, test/grub2.1, test/results/add/g2-1.1,
    123      test/results/add/g2-1.2, test/results/add/g2-1.3:
    124      Update "echo 'Loading..." messages to the new kernel version
    125      
    126      grub2-mkconfig will create lines like:
    127      echo 'Loading Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64
    128      ...'
    129      - depending on the content of /etc/default/grub.
    130      
    131      grubby would recognize these lines and replace them with lines
    132      with the
    133      right
    134      version number such as:
    135      echo 'Loading Fedora (3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64)'
    136      
    137      these lines were however not recognized by grubby and would not
    138      be
    139      updated on
    140      next kernel update when this entry would be used as template.
    141      
    142      With this patch grubby will no longer look for a specific title
    143      but
    144      patch any
    145      "echo 'Loading" line immediately before the kernel line.

    188      MBR
    189      
    190      A couple of instructions of grub's stage1 get modified when
    191      copied to
    192      the

    207      Signed-off-by: Christopher Li <kernel@chrisli.org>
    208     * [r1715] grubby.c:
    209      Look for other possible grub config files
    210      
    211      Since debian and Ubuntu don't symlink /boot/grub/menu.lst
    212      to /etc/grub.conf, make it possible to look them over on
    213      this original location as well.

    216     * [r1714] grubby.c:
    217      Make grubby to recognize Ubuntu's spin of Grub2
    218      
    219      We are looking to use grubby as a bootloader entries
    220      manager for the autotest project:
    221      
    222      http://autotest.kernel.org/
    223      
    224      The project aims to cover more distros than just
    225      red hat based ones, so this small patch fixes the
    226      tool under Ubuntu. They have chosen to name grub2
    227      grub, in all directory references. Also, they don't
    228      make symlinks of grub config files on /etc. So,
    229      adapt the code to take into consideration this
    230      behavior.
    231      
    232      Changes from v1:
    233      * Removed nested set of {}
    234      * Made the return in case /etc/grub.d is found
    235      indented
    236      * Moved the dbgPrint("not found\n") statement
    237      before the last return. Also, put a new
    238      dbgPrint("found\n") if we've found a suitable
    239      grub2 config file ubuntu/debian style.
