    3 * [r1771] VERSION:
    4 -version 8.9
    5 * [r1770] new-kernel-pkg:
    6 Add support to new-kernel-pkg to recognize ARCH == armv5tel
    7 needed for
    8 Kirkwood based systems.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    207 copied to
    208 the
    209 MBR (replaced by NOOPs). Check for this condition, and skip these

    224 * [r1715] grubby.c:
    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.

    258 * [r1712] ChangeLog:

    260 * [r1711] VERSION:
    261 -version 8.3
    262 * [r1710] new-kernel-pkg:
    263 Fix new-kernel-pkg invocation of grubby for grub (bz 725185)
    264
    265 new-kernel-pkg did not specify --grub when it called grubby to
    266 update the
    267 kernel entry with an initrd. Grubby would then try to probe what
    268 to
    269 do and
    270 would give preference to grub2 and thus leave an incomplete grub
    271 entry.
    272
    273 new-kernel-pkg did also not specify the grub config file
    274 explicitly
    275 to
    276 grubby as it do for the grub2 config file. That could perhaps in
    277 some
    278 situations cause grubby to do something else than new-kernel-pkg
    279 expected.
    280
    281 Now --grub -c $grubConfig is specified explicitly in all cases.
    282 * [r1708] ChangeLog:

    295 * [r1702] new-kernel-pkg:
    296 Fix a miss-spelled variable name.
    297
    298 "grub2Config", not "grub2Cfg".
    299 * [r1700] ChangeLog:
    300 updated ChangeLog
    301 * [r1699] VERSION:
    302 -version 8.0
    303 * [r1698] test.sh, test/grub2.1[ADD], test/grub2.2[ADD],
    304 test/results/add/g2-1.1[ADD], test/results/add/g2-1.2[ADD],
    305 test/results/add/g2-1.3[ADD], test/results/add/g2-1.4[ADD]:
    306 Add some limited test cases for grub2.
    307 * [r1697] new-kernel-pkg:
    308 Update grub2 support to new-kernel-pkg
    309
    310 This uses grubby for grub2 on efi and non-efi machines.
    311
    312 2012-02-17 Niels Rogalla <niro@magellan-linux.de>
    313
    314 * [r1696] grubby.c:
    315 Add grub2.cfg support to grubby.
    316 * [r1695] Makefile:
    317 Add -ggdb
    318 * [r1694] Makefile, grubby.c:
    319 Tweak some make options.
    320
    321 Some functions are only used in dbgPrintf() arguments. As such,
    322 errors/warnings on unused functions need to be disabled.
    323
    324 Also, use -std=gnu99.
    325
    326 Also, add a debug target.
    327 * [r1693] grubby.c:
    328 Rename entrySeparator to entryStart.
    329
    330 Since we're actually using it to detect the start of an entry
    331 (and
    332 specifically not the end), name this slightly better.
    333 * [r1692] grubby.c:
    334 Convert configFileInfo structs to C99-style initializers.
    335
    336 Get rid of the old initializers where struct names were commends,
    337 in
    338 favor of C99-style assignment, so new fields can be put at
    339 logical
    340 places without having to change the whole file.
    341 * [r1691] new-kernel-pkg, uboot[ADD]:
    342 Add uboot support for ARM (#712199)
