    12     * [r1757] new-kernel-pkg:
    13      -let the menuentries match our grub-cosmetic patch
    14     * [r1756] new-kernel-pkg:
    15      -fix a infinite loop caused by dropping the path prefix of
    16      mkinitrd
    17     * [r1754] ChangeLog:
    18      updated ChangeLog
    19     * [r1753] VERSION:
    20      -version 8.8_20120218
    21     * [r1752] new-kernel-pkg:
    22      new-kernel-pkg fails to find U-Boot.
    23      
    24      new-kernel-pkg fails to find U-Boot if the boot directory is not
    25      on a
    26      separate partition.
    27      
    28      This only affects the U-Boot image creation section of the
    29      new-kernel-pkg
    30      script, for ARM based systems. My initial changes were only
    31      tested on
    32      specific ARM-OMAP systems that required a specific U-Boot
    33      partition.
    34      Testing
    35      on additional systems (ARM-Tegra) revealed this incorrect
    36      assumption.
    37      
    38      The attached patch includes the following:
    39      
    40      - Cosmetic: Correction - change uBoot to U-Boot in comments.
    41      - Additions:
    42      -- Recognize ARCH == armv7hl
    43      -- Make U-Boot load/execute address variable (based on machine)
    44      -- Bug: Correct invalid assumption that the U-Boot directory
    45      would
    46      always
    47      be on a separate partition.
    48     * [r1751] grubby.c:
    49      Try to display title when printing information with '--info'
    50      
    51      Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
    52     * [r1750] grubby.c:
    53      Fix endswith() to correctly test its input for validity.
    54     * [r1749] installkernel, new-kernel-pkg:
    55      Fix hard coded paths so kernel's "make install" will DTRT.
    56     * [r1748] grubby.c:
    57      Implement support for "default saved" for grub2
    58      
    59      Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
    60     * [r1747] grubby.c:
    61      Include prefix when printing kernel information
    62      
    63      When running grubby with '--info=', the initrd is displayed with
    64      the
    65      boot prefix, so, for correctness, also include it in the kernel
    66      line.
    67      
    68      Signed-off-by: Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>
    69     * [r1746] grubby.c:
    70      Refactor grub2 title extraction, making it a function
    71      
    72      '--default-title' now uses that functions, but others such as
    73      '--info'
    74      could, IMHO, also display the title and thus, use the refactored
    75      function.

    78     * [r1745] grubby.c:
    79      Include a / when one is missing in paths (#769641)
    80     * [r1743] ChangeLog:
    81      updated ChangeLog
    82     * [r1742] VERSION:
    83      -version 8.8
    84     * [r1741] test.sh:
    85      Fix new test case to not care if /boot is a mountpoint...
    86     * [r1739] ChangeLog:
    87      updated ChangeLog
    88     * [r1738] VERSION:
    89      -version 8.7
    90     * [r1737] test.sh, test/results/debug[ADD],
    91      test/results/debug/g2.1[ADD], test/results/debug/g2.1.2[ADD]:
    92      Add a test case for --debug.
    93      
    94      Make sure --debug works as expected in both successful and failed
    95      attempts.
    96     * [r1736] grubby.8, grubby.c:
    97      grubby: Add --debug option to annotate "suitable template"
    98      failures
    99      
    100      Today, when grubby fails with "no suitable template found" the
    101      user
    102      has no idea why that might be. These can fail for several
    103      reasons.
    104      So add a --debug option to print out the line in grubby.c where
    105      it
    106      failed, a text message describing the failure, and a copy of the
    107      bootloader entry that failed, to aid investigation.

    110     * [r1734] ChangeLog:
    111      updated ChangeLog
    112     * [r1733] VERSION:
    113      -version 8.6
    114     * [r1732] test/results/remove/g2-1.4:
    115      Fix another test broken by 4bb88f93e6c7cf432e354a164fce8743794a
    116     * [r1730] ChangeLog:
    117      updated ChangeLog
    118     * [r1729] VERSION:
    119      -version 8.5
    120     * [r1728] new-kernel-pkg:
    121      Don't hardcode dracut path. (#768645)
    122      
    123      dracut moved from /sbin to /usr/bin, so fix that, but also it's
    124      pointless to hardcode what's in PATH.
    125     * [r1727] grubby.c, test.sh, test/results/remove/g2-1.4[ADD]:
    126      Use dummy entries for text following kernel entries so it is
    127      preserved
    128      (#744717)
    129      
    130      Signed-off-by: Adam Williamson <awilliam@redhat.com>
    131     * [r1726] test/results/defaulttitle/g2.1:
    132      Fix up one test result for changes from
    133      4bb88f93e6c7cf432e354a164fce8743794a84a5
    134     * [r1724] ChangeLog:
    135      updated ChangeLog
    136     * [r1723] VERSION:
    137      -version 8.4
    138     * [r1722] grubby.c, test/grub2.1, test/results/add/g2-1.1,
    139      test/results/add/g2-1.2, test/results/add/g2-1.3:
    140      Update "echo 'Loading..." messages to the new kernel version
    141      
    142      grub2-mkconfig will create lines like:
    143      echo 'Loading Linux 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64
    144      ...'
    145      - depending on the content of /etc/default/grub.
    146      
    147      grubby would recognize these lines and replace them with lines
    148      with the
    149      right
    150      version number such as:
    151      echo 'Loading Fedora (3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.x86_64)'
    152      
    153      these lines were however not recognized by grubby and would not
    154      be
    155      updated on
    156      next kernel update when this entry would be used as template.
    157      
    158      With this patch grubby will no longer look for a specific title
    159      but
    160      patch any
    161      "echo 'Loading" line immediately before the kernel line.

    225      Look for other possible grub config files
    226      
    227      Since debian and Ubuntu don't symlink /boot/grub/menu.lst
    228      to /etc/grub.conf, make it possible to look them over on
    229      this original location as well.

    232     * [r1714] grubby.c:
    233      Make grubby to recognize Ubuntu's spin of Grub2
    234      
    235      We are looking to use grubby as a bootloader entries
    236      manager for the autotest project:
    237      
    238      http://autotest.kernel.org/
    239      
    240      The project aims to cover more distros than just
    241      red hat based ones, so this small patch fixes the
    242      tool under Ubuntu. They have chosen to name grub2
    243      grub, in all directory references. Also, they don't
    244      make symlinks of grub config files on /etc. So,
    245      adapt the code to take into consideration this
    246      behavior.
    247      
    248      Changes from v1:
    249      * Removed nested set of {}
    250      * Made the return in case /etc/grub.d is found
    251      indented
    252      * Moved the dbgPrint("not found\n") statement
    253      before the last return. Also, put a new
    254      dbgPrint("found\n") if we've found a suitable
    255      grub2 config file ubuntu/debian style.
