    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 niro 1772 * [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 niro 1754 * [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 niro 1743 * [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 niro 1739 * [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.

    112 niro 1734 * [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 niro 1730 * [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 niro 1724 * [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.

    226    
    227     Since debian and Ubuntu don't symlink /boot/grub/menu.lst

    229     this original location as well.

    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.

    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.

    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.
