Subject: ltsp-client-core: When using NBD and Busybox is installed in the client, lts.conf is not downloaded

Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:46:14 +0200

Package: ltsp-client-core
Version: 5.1.10-2
Severity: normal

I tried using NBD root (which, sadly, is much under-documented) and read
about the really useful feature to pull lts.conf via TFTP, so you don't
have to rebuild the root image again and again. Unfortunately I didn't
get it to work at first. While debugging the initramfs I noticed that
"tftp" calls the busybox tftp and not the one the hook script put into
/bin/tftp. Since the syntax of those tools is totally different, the
transfer failed every time. I would suggest to include the full path in
the initramfs script.

This problem is still present in the unstable version 5.1.76-1.

i just happen to have been working on NBD root all day today...

it isn't nearly as well tested as NFS root, and much of it could be implemented
more cleanly.

Closes: 537374
Changes: 
 ltsp (5.1.77-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * new upstream version:
     - ltsp-update-image:
       + Do not remove the previous squashfs image before the new one is ready.
       + Handle mksquashfs errors and small code cleanup.
       + Add --no-comp to support non-compressed squashfs image.
 .
     - initramfs-tools ltsp_nbd:
       + Default to using NBD_ROOT_SERVER when setting NBD_SWAP_SERVER and
         fetching lts.conf from tftp.
       + initramfs-tools ltsp_nbd hook: allow for other filesystems for the rofs
         mount.
       + Issue warnings when NBD fails to negotiate or mount.
       + Fix downloading of lts.conf file by using the full path to tftp,
         otherwise busybox's tftp is used, which has incompatible syntax. thanks
         to Tobias Gruetzmacher for the suggestion. (Closes: #537374)
 .
     - Add lts.conf support for shutdown times and more general crontab entries.
 .
     - Merge changes to improve NBD support in initscripts.
 .
     - Flexible pxelinux network boot:
       + Options to configure menus.
       + Configurable timeout.
       + Option to append arbitrary files to the configuration.
       + Support pxelinux ipappend option, useful in networks where control over
         the dhcp server is limited.
       + Add memtest86 and memtest86+ for memory testing, if installed.
 .
     - ltsp-build-client improvements to NBD support:
       + Fix squashfs-image plugin to add the appropriate module packages when
         using a specified kernel or an unusual architecture.
       + Set KILLALL=false in nbd-client configuration so nbd root doesn't get
         disconnected before shutdown is completed.
       + Whitelist nbd-client init scripts.
 .
   * Remove Otavio Salvador from uploaders, at Otavio's request. many thanks for
     all previous and future contributions!
