16 Mar 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
8 |
Modified GLIUtility.exitsuccess() to work with return value from |
9 |
commands.getstatusoutput instead of os.waitpid(). spawn() automatically |
10 |
creates wrapper script for commands run inside chroot so multiple commands |
11 |
and redirection can be used. Change exitsuccess() back. Added 'chmod a+x' |
12 |
for the generated script from spawn() |
13 |
|
14 |
16 Mar 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
15 |
Removed default values for stage tarball URI and portage tree URI from |

InstallProfile. These should be set by the FEs. also added services step to |
17 |
ArchTemplate and coldplug/hotplug runlevels to the genkernel step. |
18 |
Possibly fixed CC DHCP bug with -n. (thx agaffney) |

63 |
|
64 |
31 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
65 |

67 |
|
68 |
29 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
69 |
Changed the way GLIStorageDevice.get_max_sectors_for_resize() works |

79 |
22 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
80 |
changed default value of CC._enable_ssh to True because this is smart. |

82 |
|
83 |
21 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
84 |
partition() now waits until after it checks for partition flags before delete |
85 |
the partitions :P |
86 |
|
87 |
19 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
88 |
Updated TODO. swapon failure it temporarily not an error. swapon is an error |
89 |
again. is_uri() check only performed on portage_tree_snapshot_uri if it isn't |
90 |
blank. |
91 |
|
92 |
19 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |

Various fixes related to the add_users function. Still not yet finished. |
94 |
Added things to the TODO list. Lets start using that! |
95 |
|
96 |
18 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
97 |
Added code to x86Template to format newly created partitions. Also added |
98 |
some error checking code. GLIStorageDevice passes 'minor' with data to |
99 |
InstallProfile. Added partition() call back in ArchTemplate. Fixed NFS |
100 |
mounting code. |
101 |
|
102 |
18 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
103 |
Took out unnecessary setting of random livecd root password. the cd already |
104 |
sets it randomly. |
105 |
|
106 |
15 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
107 |
Took out an unneeded step from CC's run() |
108 |
|
109 |
15 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
110 |
Attempt at detecting and adding windows partitions to lilo. |
111 |
|
112 |
14 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
113 |
Added lilo code and cleaned up lilo code. also do_partitioning renamed to |
114 |
partition. fixed misc exit_status => exitstatus typo. |
115 |
|
116 |
11 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
117 |
Added basic code for resizing filesystems with pyparted. Fixed code for |
118 |
resizing ntfs and ext2/3. |
119 |
|
120 |
10 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
121 |
Fixed partition() in x86Template so that it scans through logicals and deletes |
122 |
before deleting containing extended partition. Also clears partition table to |
123 |
be safe before third pass. |
124 |
|
125 |
08 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
126 |
Added mount_network_shares. not able to test it from this computer. |
127 |
will test when i get back to school. |
128 |
also added start_portmap to the client_controller as an always-do. |
129 |
agaffney says this is needed for NFS mounts to work. |
130 |
|
131 |
08 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
132 |
Partial rewrite of partitioning code in x86Template. No longer shells out to |
133 |
parted to perform actions, now uses all pyparted calls. Code "works" in a |
134 |
test, but still needs lots of TLC. Also modified tests/install.py to work |
135 |
with x86Template and GLIClientConfiguration. |
136 |
|
137 |
07 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
138 |
Initial move of partitioning code from ArchTemplate to x86Template. |
139 |
|
140 |
07 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
141 |
Added grp_install and services to InstallProfile. forgot about the set_root_password |
142 |
|
143 |
07 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
144 |
Fixed a few more edit_configs. fixed a chroot multicommand bug thanks to agaffney. |
145 |
Test Install ran very well (skipping partitioning). |
146 |
|
147 |
05 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
148 |
My mid-day update. rewrote mount_local_partitions for order of mounting. fixed prepare_chroot |
149 |
rewrote configure_fstab and install_bootloader for new partition format. fixed a few _edit_configs. |
150 |
some may still have eluded me. |
151 |
|
152 |
05 Jan 2005; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
153 |
Overhauled the entire ArchTemplate and did a lot of other misc fixes in order to test it. |
154 |
Just finished mount_local_partitions in GLIArchitectureTemplate |
155 |
|
156 |
05 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
157 |
Added get_num_sectors() to GLIStorageDevice. |
158 |
|
159 |
04 Jan 2005; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
160 |
GLIStorageDevice now tracks partition boundaries in sectors instead of cylinders. |
161 |
Also now ignores <=100 sectors for free space. Removed remaining depends stuff |
162 |
from GLIInstallProfile. |
163 |
|
164 |
20 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
165 |
GLIStorageDevice returns "unknown" instead of "" for get_type() |
166 |
|
167 |
19 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
168 |
Added get_extended_partition() to GLIStorageDevice. Rewrote get_logicals() to |
169 |
actually work. Commented out resizability checking code for speed. |
170 |
|
171 |
17 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
172 |
Switched to using dumpe2fs to determine free space left in ext2/3 filesystem in |
173 |
GLIStorageDevice at the suggestion of plors |
174 |
|
175 |
10 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
176 |
Added a function to GLIUtility to pull a value from a make.conf-style config |
177 |
file. Minor type fix to GLIInstallProfile.py |
178 |
|
179 |
09 Dec 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
180 |
Added code in GLIArchitectureTemplate.py to write netmounts into fstab. Separated |
181 |
network mounts from partition data structure in GLIInstallProfile |
182 |
|
183 |
27 Nov 2004; Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> |
184 |
Changed the way GLIStorageDevice.py determines the amount a ext2/3 filesystem |
185 |
can be resized. |
186 |
|
187 |
27 Oct 2004; Preston Cody <codeman@gentoo.org> |
188 |
Added some of the final functions to GLIInstallTemplate. |
189 |
Yes this project is still active despite rare use of the Changelog! |
190 |
|
191 |
11 Jun 2004; Nathaniel McCallum <npmccallum@gentoo.org> |
192 |
Added the GLIPartitionTools.py file. This is a temporary insertion of |
193 |
partitioning tools that will eventually go into their own package. |
194 |
|
195 |
27 Mar 2004; Nathaniel McCallum <npmccallum@gentoo.org> |
196 |
Added InstallProfileTODO.txt. Added GLIClientConfiguration.py (contains run-time |
197 |
for the program). Added __init__(install_profile, client_configuration) to |
198 |
GLI.InstallProfile. This sets install_profile and client_configuration once so as |
199 |
to avoid constantly passing stuff every time we call a method. |
200 |
|
201 |
26 Mar 2004; Nathaniel McCallum <npmccallum@gentoo.org> |
202 |
|
203 |
Added another private method to GLI.InstallTemplate. _edit_config() modifies config |
204 |
files without messing up all the other stuff in them. This will be used for making |
205 |
changes to make.conf, rc.conf, /etc/conf.d/net, etc... |
206 |
|
207 |
25 Mar 2004; Nathaniel McCallum <npmccallum@gentoo.org> |
208 |
|
209 |
Added GLI.InstallTemplate framework. This is not yet functional. However, it does |
210 |
have a few basic things. I added two private methods. One is _depends(). This |
211 |
will be used for dependency checking (ie. unpacking a tarball requires that |
212 |
partitioning has been done). The other is _exec_in_chroot(). This is the exact |
213 |
same syntax as os.system(), however, instead of being run in the liveCD |
214 |
environment, it runs in the chroot. This requires a bit of fork() magic, so I |
215 |
isolated the code. Hope to work more this week to get this class formed... |
216 |
|
217 |
14 Feb 2004; Eric Sammer <esammer@gentoo.org> |
218 |
|
219 |
Added SAX parsing. Made GLI.InstallProfile a subclass of xml.sax.ContentHandler for |
220 |
obvious reasons. Switched kernel_modules and users to be lists instead of tuples |
221 |
to allow for easier modification (mutable, rather than immutable objects). Updated |
222 |
existing pydoc and added more. Implemented body of GLI.InstallProfile.parse(). |
223 |
Cleaned file format of GLI.py a bit. Fixed all accessors to use self references. |
224 |
Added initial unit test code. |
225 |
|
226 |
9 Feb 2004; Eric Sammer <esammer@gentoo.org> |
227 |
|
228 |
Added initial changelog. Setting up the basic structure of the CVS repository |
229 |
for the project. Added the UML class diagram in docs. Added a skeletal GLI |
230 |
python module. Added misc files such news, authors, etc. |
