An update that has 6 recommended fixes can now be installed.
Description:
This update for python-kiwi contains the following fixes:
- Bump version up to 9.21.7: This version upgrade includes several fixes:
* Skip filesystem check for XFS prior xfs_grow running xfs_repair check
isn't strictly necessary before resizing, and in some cases it may
even prevent resizing by giving an error that would be cleared through
mounting the fs (e.g. when the fs wasn't cleanly umounted, and thus
letting xfs recover and replay its journal). Given that xfs can only
grow online (while being mounted), this is sufficient to ensure that
the fs is in a state where it can be resized. This is related to
bsc#1174009. (bsc#1174009)
* Fixed grub setup in EFI/BOOT directory
kiwi copied the same grub.cfg file as it exists in boot/grub2 to the
efi path. This is wrong as the setup in the efi boot directory is used to
enable normal grub loading and not providing the user grub configuration.
In addition the changes here makes sure that the early grub boot code is
placed into the system in any EFI case except for secure boot when
shim-install is present. If shim-install is present it also creates the
early grub boot setup such that kiwi doesn't have to do it. This Fixes
#1491 and Fixes bsc#1172908. (bsc#1172908)
* Use rsync in inplace transfer mode
Using the --inplace option in rsync helps to save space on syncing the
rootfs data and prevents e.g OBS workers from running out of VM space when
transfering root filesystem data. Also using --inplace allows to keep
hardlinks intact. This is related to bsc#1096738. (bsc#1096738)
* Don't keep copy of grub2-install in the system
To prevent shim-install from calling grub2-install in uefi mode kiwi
temporary replaces the tool by a noop. This acts as a workaround for an
issue in shim-install. However the workaround left a file copy of
grub2-install in the system which should not happen. This commit Fixes
bsc#1173226 and Fixes #1490. (bsc#1173226)
* Fixes live ISOs
This commit fixes iso images. Due to a change introduced in c7ed1cf
live ISOs were no longer booting as the rootfs.img filesystem was copied
to the squashfs container while being still mounted. Because of that, at
boot time, it refused to mount. This commit adds umount method for the
filesystem base class, so it can be umounted before deleting the instance.
Fixes #1489 and bsc#1173356. (bsc#1173356)
* Support grub timeout_style parameter
Grub supports a style setting that influences the display of the menu
depending on the configured timeout value. With this patch kiwi allows to
specify the style via a new bootloader parameter named
timeout_style="hidden|countdown". If not set the grub default applies
which shows the menu in any case. This Fixes bsc#1165730 and Fixes #1404.
(bsc#1165730)
* Use auto video mode as default for grub
An explicit video mode 800x600 was used for grub if no video mode
setup exists in the XML description. For grub this should better result in
the auto mode. Related to bsc#1165730. (bsc#1165730)
