febootstrap.git, branch 3.6

Version 3.6.

2011-06-01T10:07:45+00:00

Fix some printf format warnings when -Wall is enabled.

2011-06-01T09:36:42+00:00

febootstrap/helper/init: Mount /proc if not already present.

2011-06-01T09:35:07+00:00

Don't require external insmod.static.

2011-06-01T09:28:06+00:00

Add module loading functionality into init.c, thus making
insmod.static unnecessary.

febootstrap: Look for insmod.static, mke2fs in /sbin

2011-06-01T09:10:45+00:00

Force creation of /lib/modules directory.

2011-06-01T09:08:13+00:00

After adding a line containing "/lib/modules" to hostfiles solved the
immediate problem for me -- febootstrap-supermin-helper finished its
run.

The attached patch makes sure that febootstrap-supermin-helper always
creates this directory.

Version 3.5.

2011-05-27T11:09:35+00:00

Check lseek return type against (off_t) -1.

2011-05-27T10:58:50+00:00

Increase appliance container to 4 GB.

2011-05-27T10:56:21+00:00

The overhead is now 66 MB which is unfortunate.  However 4 GB should
be enough for people who accidentally add kernel modules that are
hand-compiled with all the debuginfo information in them.

helper: Add better error messages if files too big for appliance root.

2011-05-27T10:54:54+00:00

The appliance root was 1GB.  However the error message you got
if you overran this space was very obscure:

  febootstrap-supermin-helper: ext2fs_file_write:
  Could not allocate block in ext2 filesystem

This adds the name of the file that is failing, and replaces the error
message with something more meaningful.
