Remove /tmp/compile_output.log and /var/log/install.log when install is |
| 77 |
complete. Added code to (hopefully) keep 2nd thread running after install. |
| 78 |
Patch from zahna for extra arguments to the kernel. Patch from zahna to add |
| 79 |
get_eth_info() function. Remove most of content in amd64ArchTemplate and |

filesystem_tools code. |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
26 Mar 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 91 |
Changed the print statements to logging in the partitioning BE code. |

| 100 |
|
| 101 |
25 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 102 |

| 105 |
GRP-ish quickpkg code pulls PKGDIR and PORTAGE_TMPDIR from make.conf info in |

the install profile if available. Commented out spawn() debugging prints |
| 107 |
|
| 108 |
23 Mar 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 109 |

| 111 |
|
| 112 |
23 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 113 |
minor fix (hopefully) to livecd-kernel code. Removed call to mkvardb in |
| 114 |
livecd-kernel code as it's now done by catalyst. Switch _emerge() call to |
| 115 |
spawn() call in livecd-kernel code to pass environment variables. |
| 116 |
livecd-kernel code pulls PKGDIR and PORTAGE_TMPDIR from make.conf info in |
| 117 |
the install profile if available. |
| 118 |
|
| 119 |
23 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 120 |
Added code to build_kernel() and emerge_kernel_sources() in ArchTemplate |

| 122 |
|
| 123 |
22 Mar 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 124 |

| 125 |
|
| 126 |
21 Mar 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 127 |

| 128 |
|
| 129 |
21 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 130 |
Changed chroot wrapper code in spawn() to write the wrapper the python way |
| 131 |
instead of the bash way to avoid quote conflicts. Added |
| 132 |
'logfile=self._compile_logfile' to a number of spawn() calls. Added new |
| 133 |
hash_password() function to GLIUtility. Remove command to 'rm /tmp/spawn.sh' |
| 134 |
as it breaks the piping. |
| 135 |
|
| 136 |
20 Mar 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 137 |
Added the amd64ArchitectureTemplate, mostly a copy of x86 without lilo. |
| 138 |
|
| 139 |
20 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 140 |
Added _get_packages_to_emerge() to GLIArchitectureTemplate and calls in |
| 141 |
stage1() and stage2(). Added 'origminor' parameter to GLIStorageDevice and |
| 142 |
GLIInstallProfile. |
| 143 |
|
| 144 |
19 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 145 |
Fixed a couple bugs in add_netmount() in GLIInstallProfile. spawn() outputs |
| 146 |
to the actual tty8 with display_on_tty8 flag. Compile output logfile moved |
| 147 |
into /mnt/gentoo in prepare_chroot() |
| 148 |
|
| 149 |
18 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 150 |
Add sigunmask.c contributed by d_m (on freenode) to counteract python's |
| 151 |
retarted behavior regarding threads and signals. Add code to convert MB/%/* |
| 152 |
to start/end sectors |
| 153 |
|
| 154 |
17 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 155 |
Add 2>&1 to cmd in spawn() |
| 156 |
|
| 157 |
16 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 158 |
Modified GLIUtility.exitsuccess() to work with return value from |
| 159 |
commands.getstatusoutput instead of os.waitpid(). spawn() automatically |
| 160 |
creates wrapper script for commands run inside chroot so multiple commands |
| 161 |
and redirection can be used. Change exitsuccess() back. Added 'chmod a+x' |
| 162 |
for the generated script from spawn() |
| 163 |
|
| 164 |
16 Mar 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 165 |
Removed default values for stage tarball URI and portage tree URI from |
| 166 |
InstallProfile. These should be set by the FEs. also added services step to |
| 167 |
ArchTemplate and coldplug/hotplug runlevels to the genkernel step. |
| 168 |
Possibly fixed CC DHCP bug with -n. (thx agaffney) |
| 169 |
|
| 170 |
14 Mar 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 171 |

| 172 |
|
| 173 |
7 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 174 |
Switched spawn() over to commands.getstatusoutput() instead of fork/waitpid |
| 175 |
|
| 176 |
1 Mar 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 177 |
Fixed a bunch of true -> True typos. lots of em |

| 217 |
|
| 218 |
29 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 219 |

| 232 |
|
| 233 |
21 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |

the partitions :P |
| 236 |
|
| 237 |
19 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 238 |
Updated TODO. swapon failure it temporarily not an error. swapon is an error |

| 241 |
|
| 242 |
19 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |

|
| 246 |
18 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 247 |
Added code to x86Template to format newly created partitions. Also added |
| 248 |
some error checking code. GLIStorageDevice passes 'minor' with data to |
| 249 |
InstallProfile. Added partition() call back in ArchTemplate. Fixed NFS |
| 250 |
mounting code. |
| 251 |
|
| 252 |
18 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 253 |
Took out unnecessary setting of random livecd root password. the cd already |

|
| 256 |
15 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 257 |

partition. fixed misc exit_status => exitstatus typo. |
| 265 |
|
| 266 |
11 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 267 |
Added basic code for resizing filesystems with pyparted. Fixed code for |
| 268 |
resizing ntfs and ext2/3. |
| 269 |
|
| 270 |
10 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 271 |
Fixed partition() in x86Template so that it scans through logicals and deletes |
| 272 |
before deleting containing extended partition. Also clears partition table to |
| 273 |
be safe before third pass. |
| 274 |
|
| 275 |
08 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 276 |
Added mount_network_shares. not able to test it from this computer. |
| 277 |
will test when i get back to school. |
| 278 |
also added start_portmap to the client_controller as an always-do. |
| 279 |
agaffney says this is needed for NFS mounts to work. |
| 280 |
|
| 281 |
08 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 282 |
Partial rewrite of partitioning code in x86Template. No longer shells out to |
| 283 |
parted to perform actions, now uses all pyparted calls. Code "works" in a |
| 284 |
test, but still needs lots of TLC. Also modified tests/install.py to work |
| 285 |
with x86Template and GLIClientConfiguration. |
| 286 |
|
| 287 |
07 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 288 |
Initial move of partitioning code from ArchTemplate to x86Template. |
| 289 |
|
| 290 |

|
| 293 |
07 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 294 |
Fixed a few more edit_configs. fixed a chroot multicommand bug thanks to agaffney. |
| 295 |
Test Install ran very well (skipping partitioning). |
| 296 |
|
| 297 |
05 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 298 |
My mid-day update. rewrote mount_local_partitions for order of mounting. fixed prepare_chroot |
| 299 |
rewrote configure_fstab and install_bootloader for new partition format. fixed a few _edit_configs. |
| 300 |
some may still have eluded me. |
| 301 |
|
| 302 |
05 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 303 |
Overhauled the entire ArchTemplate and did a lot of other misc fixes in order to test it. |

Just finished mount_local_partitions in GLIArchitectureTemplate |
| 305 |
|
| 306 |
05 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |

| 308 |
|
| 309 |
04 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 310 |
GLIStorageDevice now tracks partition boundaries in sectors instead of cylinders. |
| 311 |
Also now ignores <=100 sectors for free space. Removed remaining depends stuff |
| 312 |
from GLIInstallProfile. |
| 313 |
|
| 314 |
20 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 315 |
GLIStorageDevice returns "unknown" instead of "" for get_type() |
| 316 |
|
| 317 |
19 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 318 |
Added get_extended_partition() to GLIStorageDevice. Rewrote get_logicals() to |
| 319 |
actually work. Commented out resizability checking code for speed. |
| 320 |
|
| 321 |
17 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 322 |
Switched to using dumpe2fs to determine free space left in ext2/3 filesystem in |
| 323 |
GLIStorageDevice at the suggestion of plors |
| 324 |
|
| 325 |
10 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 326 |
Added a function to GLIUtility to pull a value from a make.conf-style config |
| 327 |
file. Minor type fix to GLIInstallProfile.py |
| 328 |
|
| 329 |
09 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 330 |
Added code in GLIArchitectureTemplate.py to write netmounts into fstab. Separated |
| 331 |
network mounts from partition data structure in GLIInstallProfile |
| 332 |
|
| 333 |
27 Nov 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
| 334 |
Changed the way GLIStorageDevice.py determines the amount a ext2/3 filesystem |
| 335 |
can be resized. |
| 336 |
|
| 337 |
27 Oct 2004; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
| 338 |
Added some of the final functions to GLIInstallTemplate. |

| 340 |
|
| 341 |
11 Jun 2004; Nathaniel McCallum <npmccallum@gentoo.org> |
| 342 |
Added the GLIPartitionTools.py file. This is a temporary insertion of |
| 343 |
partitioning tools that will eventually go into their own package. |
| 344 |
|
| 345 |
27 Mar 2004; Nathaniel McCallum <npmccallum@gentoo.org> |
| 346 |
Added InstallProfileTODO.txt. Added GLIClientConfiguration.py (contains run-time |
| 347 |
for the program). Added __init__(install_profile, client_configuration) to |
| 348 |
GLI.InstallProfile. This sets install_profile and client_configuration once so as |
| 349 |
to avoid constantly passing stuff every time we call a method. |
| 350 |
|

Added another private method to GLI.InstallTemplate. _edit_config() modifies config |
| 354 |
files without messing up all the other stuff in them. This will be used for making |
| 355 |
changes to make.conf, rc.conf, /etc/conf.d/net, etc... |

Added GLI.InstallTemplate framework. This is not yet functional. However, it does |
| 360 |
have a few basic things. I added two private methods. One is _depends(). This |
| 361 |
will be used for dependency checking (ie. unpacking a tarball requires that |
| 362 |
partitioning has been done). The other is _exec_in_chroot(). This is the exact |
| 363 |
same syntax as os.system(), however, instead of being run in the liveCD |
| 364 |
environment, it runs in the chroot. This requires a bit of fork() magic, so I |
| 365 |
isolated the code. Hope to work more this week to get this class formed... |

Added SAX parsing. Made GLI.InstallProfile a subclass of xml.sax.ContentHandler for |
| 370 |
obvious reasons. Switched kernel_modules and users to be lists instead of tuples |
| 371 |
to allow for easier modification (mutable, rather than immutable objects). Updated |
| 372 |
existing pydoc and added more. Implemented body of GLI.InstallProfile.parse(). |
| 373 |
Cleaned file format of GLI.py a bit. Fixed all accessors to use self references. |
| 374 |
Added initial unit test code. |

Added initial changelog. Setting up the basic structure of the CVS repository |
| 379 |
for the project. Added the UML class diagram in docs. Added a skeletal GLI |
| 380 |
python module. Added misc files such news, authors, etc. |
