that's Mindi's job +- uses Mindi Linux to make boot disks & data disks based on your distro +- boot&data stuff goes in $scratchdir/images now +- bzip2 is used by default to compress archives +- don't make MD5 checksums if verify_level==0 +- when archiving, make N.tar.bz2 and cklist.txt (tarball+checksums) in parallel +- at end of mondo-archive, remove scratchdir and TMP completely IF they were created by Mondo (e.g. /home/mondo.scratch or /home/tmp.mondo.12345) +- fill CD/image up to 1MB less than its max size; was being filled up to about 8MB less than its max size, which wasted 8-10MB of storage space per disk + +v0.99 (2001-03-15) +- /proc and /tmp removed --- i.e. added to exclude list :) +- Mondo now uses 2.4-series kernel and modules (Bruno Cornec) +- minor typos fixed (Bruno Cornec) +- older, restore-related fixes merged w/Bruce's work (Maciej Kulasa) +- better RPM spec file (Bruno Cornec) +- incorporated Mondo v0.977's restore scripts' bugfixes (Maciej Kulasa) + +v0.981 (2001-03-06) +- put 'dd' in coolstuff.tgz (Art Wells) + +v0.98 (2001-02-28) +- INSTALL script renamed to install.sh +- tarball cleaned up and re-tarred (Art Wells) +- trailing CR/LF's cleaned from scripts (Art Wells) +- work is underway to make Mondo compatible with the Linux kernel's 2.4 series + +v0.977 (2001-02-26) +- based on v0.976 +- missing subs and silly typos fixed in restore scripts (Maciej Kulasa) +- fstab files containing NFS mounts are handled properly (Petre Scheie) +- Mondo is being actively developed again (yippee!) + +v0.976 (2000-09-01) +- technical changes - 12MB ramdisk - repackaged: now, Mondo comes in big tarball/RPM with all overhead-files - each Mondo CD has a 15MB administrative overhead; used to be 50-60MB - definitely 386-compatible now (RH 6.2 binaries) - Linux-Mandrake 7.1 (2.2.16) kernel w/ReiserFS & Supermount - modules.conf / conf.modules support (whichever you've got) - user may include their own copies of modules, if Mondo doesn't come with the requisite modules already +- extra facilities - ReiserFS support - '--load-modules <foo> <bar> ...' will allow you to force Mondo to load key modules at boot-time, e.g. aic7xxx for SCSI-only users +- bugfixes - path-exclusion code (mondo-backup) - bogus 'flaws=1' message has been eradicated - CDRW-finding code is now much better at finding the CDRW correctly - dummy burn mode is working again - fixed security hole (thanks, Matija); now, user will be warned if Mondo is configured to execute /tmp/mondo-tarme - changed lots of 'grep " $string "' to 'grep -w "$string"' (thanks, Matija) + +v0.975 (2000-07-03) +- made mondo-tarme use 'ask-me-a-question' to pause for new, blank CD-Rs +- don't deeply search isodir for ISO files to wipe: maxdepth should be 1 +- 386-compatible kernel and modules (should be, anyway...) +- applied Doug Nordwall's calc-disk-size patch to fix SCSI hdd size calc'n bug +- applied Michael Ralph Pape's SCSI (2nd floppy) patch +- removed devdump from overhead-list +- mkisofs no longer called with '-quiet' switch +- changed '--burn-cds' format: now it's --burn-cds <speed> (<device>) +- added '-L' to LILO's call, so that >8GB hard disks overcome 1024-blk limit +- mondo-compare runs check-mountlist-sanity before mounting partitions +- ramdisk is now 14MB + +v0.972 (2000-06-16) +- auto-archive, mondo-archive and mondo-tarme updated to make them more friendly towards mult-disk sets +- if multiple CDRW drives, user is asked which mondo-archive should use + +v0.971 (2000-06-14) +- auto-archive now passes CD size to mondo-archive +- mondo-tarme, in conjunction with auto-archive, now handles CDRW boot/burn sharing much better than before + +v0.970 (2000-06-10) +- kernel now creates 12MB ramdrive (was 16MB) +- lots of silly bugs & overhead problems fixed; 2nd floppy closer to working +- restore scripts all log to /var/log/mondo-restore.log +- auto-archive:- - offers Low, Medium or High compression - no longer needs a spare hard drive for scratch space; uses loopfs on existing hard drive (if possible) instead - handles weird (multi-CDROM) PCs more gracefully now - handles PCs with CDRW but without CDROM more gracefully now - deletes each ISO after burning it to a CD-R (if it _is_ burning them) - asks if PC is old & crappy; if it is, IDE optimizations are disabled at backup-time and restore-time - lets user use CDRW for booting _and_ burning, thanks to reroute-softlinks +- selective restore is finally fixed +- nicer help screens on boot floppy + +v0.965 (2000-06-03) +- 2MB of space left empty at end of every CD (e.g. 650MB is only 648MB full) +- Suzhe & Lonius's SmartBootManager (sbminst) is used instead of Win98's MBR +- Mondo may now resize Windows-only backups when restoring +- silly bugs in prep-me... fixed + +v0.964 (2000-06-02) +- VFAT partitions >8GB handled OK now +- 2nd floppy (optionally) created for SCSI users <--- not working yet +- better calc-disk-size algorithm (thanks, Doug Nordwall) +- Mondo can now backup and restore Windows-only PCs! :-) +- silly prep-me and format-and-kludge-vfat bugs fixed +- 'resize hack' retitled as 'vacuum-pack' + +v0.963 (2000-05-31) +- ISO images are no longer padded +- all currently-loaded modules are backed up to custom hboot.img & installed at restore-time before CD is accessed +- '--burn-cd <speed>' switch added +- '--no-opt' switch added; use it in the call to mondo-archive if you don't want IDE optimization when restoring +- lots of work done on auto-archive +- mondo-extras-1.5 created; excludes mondo-zfile but includes hlib.tar.bz2 +- boot floppy image now includes kernel w/lots of SCSI stuff +- slice* deleted (WipeArchives); was 'slices*' (bug!) +- restore scripts all use 'lastbit-me' to find the 'X' part of '/dev/X' device; this will make it easier to port Mondo to kernel 2.4.x +- I cannot make SCSI-based CDROMs boot from Mondo CDs properly... but SCSI hard drives and ZIP drives should be handled ok from now on +- with a little coaxing, Mondo will backup Windows-only PCs (as well as Lin/Win and Linux-only PCs) + +v0.962 (2000-05-25) +- silly bug in mondo-checksum fixed +- stale tmp dirs are now definitely deleted (bug fixed) +- "Job is percent d complete. hh:ss to go." --- much better 'progress' string +- 'buffer' is gone again :) thank goodness +- only 1st ISO is padded; the rest aren't. +- working on implementing an easy 'cdrecord' shortcut-call-thingy +- mondo-archive doesn't try to delete loopfs unless it exists +- mondo-restore's "hack-softlinks" - silly bug ($1/ missing) fixed +- boot floppy image now includes mkdir and rmdir +- user may specify temp directory using '--tempdir <path>' +- mondo-archive now includes a copy of 'buffer' for future use +- Mondo will now archive and restore Linux AND LinWin systems ok. W00H00! :-) + +v0.961 (2000-05-23) +- mondo-checksum ignores files <2k in length +- default compression level is 4 +- default verify level is 2 +- files <3k in size aren't compressed +- filelist no longer includes bashbug, dosfsck or dir +- bs-me is disabled in mondo-restore +- fixed bug in 'hack-fstab' which stopped processing fstab if blank line found + +v0.960 (2000-05-22) +- mondo-vfat-1.0 package released, to provide kludging for VFAT bootables +- logfile now saved at /var/log/mondo-archive.log (not `pwd`/mondo-archive.log) +- pid registered/checked _after_ command line processed... so you can do --help without being shouted at ;) +- restore-me broken into 2 scripts: untar-me and biggify-me +- restore-subroutine-me now renamed untar-subroutine-me +- bzip2 decompression should work again ;) ... a missing '-Z' was added to the afio call, and the usr/lib/libbz* libraries are now included on CD ISOs +- fixed hack-lilo to ignore blank lines +- really ugly boot kludge has been implemented, using embleer files to make newly-formatted VFAT partitions bootable |
