    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.

    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.

    245 -version 8.3
    246 * [r1710] new-kernel-pkg:
    247 Fix new-kernel-pkg invocation of grubby for grub (bz 725185)
    248
    249 new-kernel-pkg did not specify --grub when it called grubby to
    250 update the
    251 kernel entry with an initrd. Grubby would then try to probe what
    252 to
    253 do and
    254 would give preference to grub2 and thus leave an incomplete grub
    255 entry.
    256
    257 new-kernel-pkg did also not specify the grub config file
    258 explicitly
    259 to
    260 grubby as it do for the grub2 config file. That could perhaps in
    261 some
    262 situations cause grubby to do something else than new-kernel-pkg
    263 expected.
    264
    265 Now --grub -c $grubConfig is specified explicitly in all cases.
    266 * [r1708] ChangeLog:

    289 test/results/add/g2-1.3[ADD], test/results/add/g2-1.4[ADD]:
    290 Add some limited test cases for grub2.
    291 * [r1697] new-kernel-pkg:
    292 Update grub2 support to new-kernel-pkg
    293
    294 This uses grubby for grub2 on efi and non-efi machines.

    297
    298 * [r1696] grubby.c:
    299 Add grub2.cfg support to grubby.
    300 * [r1695] Makefile:
    301 Add -ggdb
    302 * [r1694] Makefile, grubby.c:
    303 Tweak some make options.
    304
    305 Some functions are only used in dbgPrintf() arguments. As such,
    306 errors/warnings on unused functions need to be disabled.
    307
    308 Also, use -std=gnu99.
    309
    310 Also, add a debug target.
    311 * [r1693] grubby.c:
    312 Rename entrySeparator to entryStart.
    313
    314 Since we're actually using it to detect the start of an entry
    315 (and
    316 specifically not the end), name this slightly better.
    317 * [r1692] grubby.c:
    318 Convert configFileInfo structs to C99-style initializers.
    319
    320 Get rid of the old initializers where struct names were commends,
    321 in
    322 favor of C99-style assignment, so new fields can be put at
    323 logical
    324 places without having to change the whole file.
