# ChangeLog for Gentoo Linux Installer # Copyright 2004 Gentoo Technologies, Inc. # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo/src/installer/ChangeLog,v 1.33 2005/01/10 08:32:35 agaffney Exp $ *GLI-0.01 (9 Feb 2004) 10 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney Fixed partition() in x86Template so that it scans through logicals and deletes before deleting containing extended partition. Also clears partition table to be safe before third pass. 08 Jan 2005; Preston Cody Added mount_network_shares. not able to test it from this computer. will test when i get back to school. also added start_portmap to the client_controller as an always-do. agaffney says this is needed for NFS mounts to work. 08 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney Partial rewrite of partitioning code in x86Template. No longer shells out to parted to perform actions, now uses all pyparted calls. Code "works" in a test, but still needs lots of TLC. Also modified tests/install.py to work with x86Template and GLIClientConfiguration. 07 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney Initial move of partitioning code from ArchTemplate to x86Template. 07 Jan 2005; Preston Cody Added grp_install and services to InstallProfile. forgot about the set_root_password 07 Jan 2005; Preston Cody Fixed a few more edit_configs. fixed a chroot multicommand bug thanks to agaffney. Test Install ran very well (skipping partitioning). 05 Jan 2005; Preston Cody My mid-day update. rewrote mount_local_partitions for order of mounting. fixed prepare_chroot rewrote configure_fstab and install_bootloader for new partition format. fixed a few _edit_configs. some may still have eluded me. 05 Jan 2005; Preston Cody Overhauled the entire ArchTemplate and did a lot of other misc fixes in order to test it. Just finished mount_local_partitions in GLIArchitectureTemplate 05 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney Added get_num_sectors() to GLIStorageDevice. 04 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney GLIStorageDevice now tracks partition boundaries in sectors instead of cylinders. Also now ignores <=100 sectors for free space. Removed remaining depends stuff from GLIInstallProfile. 20 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney GLIStorageDevice returns "unknown" instead of "" for get_type() 19 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney Added get_extended_partition() to GLIStorageDevice. Rewrote get_logicals() to actually work. Commented out resizability checking code for speed. 17 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney Switched to using dumpe2fs to determine free space left in ext2/3 filesystem in GLIStorageDevice at the suggestion of plors 10 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney Added a function to GLIUtility to pull a value from a make.conf-style config file. Minor type fix to GLIInstallProfile.py 09 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney Added code in GLIArchitectureTemplate.py to write netmounts into fstab. Separated network mounts from partition data structure in GLIInstallProfile 27 Nov 2004; Andrew Gaffney Changed the way GLIStorageDevice.py determines the amount a ext2/3 filesystem can be resized. 27 Oct 2004; Preston Cody Added some of the final functions to GLIInstallTemplate. Yes this project is still active despite rare use of the Changelog! 11 Jun 2004; Nathaniel McCallum Added the GLIPartitionTools.py file. This is a temporary insertion of partitioning tools that will eventually go into their own package. 27 Mar 2004; Nathaniel McCallum Added InstallProfileTODO.txt. Added GLIClientConfiguration.py (contains run-time for the program). Added __init__(install_profile, client_configuration) to GLI.InstallProfile. This sets install_profile and client_configuration once so as to avoid constantly passing stuff every time we call a method. 26 Mar 2004; Nathaniel McCallum Added another private method to GLI.InstallTemplate. _edit_config() modifies config files without messing up all the other stuff in them. This will be used for making changes to make.conf, rc.conf, /etc/conf.d/net, etc... 25 Mar 2004; Nathaniel McCallum Added GLI.InstallTemplate framework. This is not yet functional. However, it does have a few basic things. I added two private methods. One is _depends(). This will be used for dependency checking (ie. unpacking a tarball requires that partitioning has been done). The other is _exec_in_chroot(). This is the exact same syntax as os.system(), however, instead of being run in the liveCD environment, it runs in the chroot. This requires a bit of fork() magic, so I isolated the code. Hope to work more this week to get this class formed... 14 Feb 2004; Eric Sammer Added SAX parsing. Made GLI.InstallProfile a subclass of xml.sax.ContentHandler for obvious reasons. Switched kernel_modules and users to be lists instead of tuples to allow for easier modification (mutable, rather than immutable objects). Updated existing pydoc and added more. Implemented body of GLI.InstallProfile.parse(). Cleaned file format of GLI.py a bit. Fixed all accessors to use self references. Added initial unit test code. 9 Feb 2004; Eric Sammer Added initial changelog. Setting up the basic structure of the CVS repository for the project. Added the UML class diagram in docs. Added a skeletal GLI python module. Added misc files such news, authors, etc.
