Change log for partman-base package in Ubuntu

partman-base (131ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Ubiquity integration: If PARTMAN_NO_COMMIT is set, then exit rather
      than running commit.d and finish.d scripts; add a partman-commit
      script; dump extra information to /var/lib/partman/snoop if
      PARTMAN_SNOOP is set.
    - Don't skip over dmraid devices if the user chooses not to activate
      them.
    - If the only thing mounted on a disk is the installation medium and it
      uses more or less the whole disk, then silently exclude that disk; if
      the installation medium is mounted but doesn't use the whole disk,
      issue a warning that partitioning may be difficult; if anything else
      is mounted, offer to unmount it. partman/filter_mounted=false disables
      this.
    - Use ext4 as the default filesystem for new partitions.

  * Support partman/filter_mounted preseeding again, for some special cases
    that know they can get away with modifying partitions after the one
    containing the installation medium (LP: #354573).

partman-base (129ubuntu5) jaunty; urgency=low

  * init.d/parted: Use more concise syntax for building up lists.
  * Rewrite handling of mounted partitions. If the only thing mounted on a
    disk is the installation medium and it uses more or less the whole disk,
    then silently exclude that disk (LP: #347916); if the installation
    medium is mounted but doesn't use the whole disk, issue a warning that
    partitioning may be difficult; if anything else is mounted, offer to
    unmount it.
  * Note that partman/filter_mounted preseeding is no longer supported, as
    its main use was to cope with the case of the installation medium being
    mounted and that's now handled explicitly. If you need to stop questions
    being asked, preseed partman/unmount_active and/or
    partman/installation_medium_mounted as appropriate.
  * I had to break the string freeze. Sorry.

partman-base (128ubuntu6) jaunty; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Only mark the partition table as changed due to CHANGE_FILE_SYSTEM if it
    actually makes a change (i.e. the partition wasn't already using that
    filesystem or didn't have that flag set). This avoids the partition
    table being rewritten even if partman did nothing more than autousing
    swap (LP: #287660).
  * Add partman/default_filesystem template so that we can remove hardcoding
    of ext3 from elsewhere in partman, and make the default filesystem
    preseedable.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Filter out disks that have mounted partitions again.  This was
    accidentally lost in the last Debian merge.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Exit straight away if a called script is killed by a signal.
  * Disable backup while displaying device/partition locked errors; it makes
    no sense and it can cause us to exit without closing the FIFO to
    parted_server (LP: #274219).
  * Record that CHANGE_FILE_SYSTEM changes the partition table
    (LP: #149832).

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Exclude devices that have mounted partitions.  Useful for when installing
    from a disk (LP: #276656).  This can be disabled by preseeding
    partman/filter_mounted to false.

partman-base (114ubuntu4) hardy; urgency=low

  * Backport from trunk:
    - Don't emit confusing log messages if partman-lvm or partman-crypto are
      already loaded.
    - Allow disable_swap to take a device argument, in which case it only
      disables swap on that device rather than on all devices.
    - Only disable swap on devices that are being changed (LP: #199048).

    only needed for the old advanced partitioner, which won't be supported
    in Gutsy.

partman-base (105ubuntu3) feisty; urgency=low

    - Use GPT label by default on Intel Macs.
    - Add support for /lib/partman/check.d scripts, intended to contain
      sanity checks run before changes are committed. (These checks were
      formerly typically in /lib/partman/finish.d.)
    - Use MS-DOS label by default on PS3 systems.
    - Add an IS_BUSY command to check whether a partition is busy (i.e.
      mounted).

  [Fabio M. Di Nitto]
  * parted_server.c: make sure to clear sigaction structs to fix a runtime
    Illegal Instruction as see on Niagara machines.
    From David S. Miller:
    "You need to clear out the sig_action structure, otherwise
     you leave crap in sa->sa_flags, in particular what can happen
     is that SA_ONSTACK gets set which is what causes the program
     to crash since the default signal stack value is zero."

    no partitions. Fixes missing substitution into confirmation question.

partman-base (90ubuntu8) edgy; urgency=low

  * Backport from trunk:
    - init.d/parted: Don't process /dev/md*; partman-md will take care of
      that later, and doing it here means that we sometimes end up with
      duplicate /dev/md0 versus /dev/md/0 entries in the partition tree.

partman-base (90ubuntu7) edgy; urgency=low

  * Set the priority of partman*/confirm_nochanges questions back to
    critical; having it at medium breaks LVM and RAID configuration (closes:
    Malone #63721).

 -- Colin Watson <email address hidden>   Tue, 10 Oct 2006 11:43:28 +0100

partman-base (90ubuntu6) edgy; urgency=low

  * Ask the confirmation question on the PARTMAN_UPDATE_BEFORE_COMMIT path,
    to allow Ubiquity to display a summary of manual partitioning (see
    Malone #61572).

 -- Colin Watson <email address hidden>   Mon,  9 Oct 2006 15:20:14 +0100

partman-base (90ubuntu5) edgy; urgency=low

  * Don't shut down parted_server in PARTMAN_NO_COMMIT mode: it has
    uncommitted changes in memory, so needs to stay running.

 -- Colin Watson <email address hidden>   Mon,  4 Sep 2006 15:08:42 +0100

partman-base (90ubuntu4) edgy; urgency=low

  * Backport from trunk:
    - Don't lose backup capability when finding out current capabilities.
  * If PARTMAN_NO_COMMIT is set, then stop parted_server and exit rather
    than running commit.d and finish.d scripts. Add a new partman-commit
    script which starts up parted_server again and runs these separately
    (this also honours PARTMAN_UPDATE_BEFORE_COMMIT rather than
    PARTMAN_UPDATE_BEFORE_CONFIRM; see changelog entry for 78ubuntu4). This
    allows Ubiquity to defer the commit stage until after displaying an
    installation summary to the user without having to leave partman
    running.

partman-base (90ubuntu3) edgy; urgency=low

  * If PARTMAN_SNOOP is set, then debconf_select dumps out its
    key-to-displayed-text mapping to /var/lib/partman/snoop. This allows a
    debconf-filtering agent such as Ubiquity to parse the list of choices
    reliably. (This is, of course, a hack, and will be removed once debconf
    is enhanced so that partman can simply substitute each key as an
    untranslated choice.)

partman-base (90ubuntu2) edgy; urgency=low

  * definitions.sh (debconf_select): Drop leading newline from constructed
    choices list, and restore IFS in a few more places.
  * definitions.sh (error_handler, confirm_changes): Use debconf's escape
    capability if available to escape multi-line SUBST commands.

partman-base (87ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.

partman-base (78ubuntu4) dapper; urgency=low

  * If PARTMAN_UPDATE_BEFORE_CONFIRM is set, run update.d scripts before
    finishing choose_partition. This allows Ubiquity to feed information
    into /var/lib/partman/devices/ and have it work correctly (see Malone
    #37872).

 -- Colin Watson <email address hidden>   Fri,  5 May 2006 14:41:47 +0100

partman-base (78ubuntu3) dapper; urgency=low

  * Close all file descriptors other than 0, 1, and 2 on startup, so that we
    don't hold a pipe to debconf open.

 -- Colin Watson <email address hidden>   Tue, 25 Apr 2006 00:03:55 +0100

partman-base (78ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low

  * Backport from trunk (Anton Zinoviev):
    - Raise the Debconf priority of the messages of libparted -- give the
      errors critical priority (was high), warnings with high (was medium)
      and information with medium (was low).  Thanks to Joey Hess,
      closes: #290929.

  * Backport from trunk:
    - Stop USES_EXTENDED command from segfaulting if called on a device
      without a partition table (e.g. a DVD-RW).
