- Update to GitHub master from Fri Aug 10 12:36:00 2018 +0200
  with latest git commit cc9e76872fb7de5ddd6be72d4008a3753046a528
  to provide upstream fixes and enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12
  SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively)
  in particular it fixes bsc#1104499
  It contains in particular (newest topmost):
  * Moved the functionality of 67-check-by-label-cdrom.sh
    into the mount_url function 'iso' case plus additional
    enhancements there with a user dialog if things are not o.k.
    to fix recovery on PPC64LE system that failed before at
    'mount /dev/disk/by-label/RELAXRECOVER /tmp/rear.../outputfs'
    when restoring the backup when BACKUP_URL=iso:///... is used
    cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1104499
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1891
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/326
  * Avoid false alarm during md5sum verification:
    Now also exclude all regular files in /dev/ and
    /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
    from md5sum verification
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1891
  * Fixed that on LPAR/PPC64 PowerVM the boot devices order list
    was incorrectly set (via 'bootlist') when having multiple
    'prep' partitions
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1886
  * Fixed and enhanced the get_disk_size and get_block_size
    functions so that now by default blockdev is used (if exists)
    to retrieve the size of the disk and its block size and
    compute partition start using 512 bytes blocks (this is
    hardcoded in the Linux kernel) to fix wrong partition
    information when a disk has 4K block size
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1884
- Do no longer require lsb-release but only recommend it because
  ReaR calls /usr/bin/lsb_release only as fallback so that it is
  no longer strictly required, see the comments regarding it in
  https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1883

- Update to GitHub master from Mon Jul 30 11:35:51 2018 +0200
  with latest git commit d9897b3cc5a2413057834722c06b21309b593519
  to provide upstream fixes and enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12
  SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively)
  in particular fixes for bsc#1103081 bsc#1095088 bsc#1099901
  It provides the ReaR release 2.4 plus latest upstream fixes.
  The RPM package name rear23a and version 2.3.a are kept
  so that an installed rear23a RPM package can be updated.
  It contains in particular (newest topmost):
  * Now the Error function shows some of the last log messages
    since the last actual script got sourced that contain
    in particular the normal stdout and stderr messages of the
    last called programs to make the root cause of an error more
    obvious to the user without the need to analyze the log file
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1877
    and the related comments near
    https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1875#issuecomment-407039065
  * Misc improvements for Duplicity backup
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1876
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1879
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1882
  * Initial tentative support for OBDR on ppc64le
    cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1099901
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1868
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1873
  * Wait for systemd-udevd to avoid broken pipe error
    in 40-start-udev-or-load-modules.sh
    cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1095088
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1832
  * Avoid duplicate UUID in boot menuentry when snapper is used
    cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1095088
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1871
  * Added choice to confirm identical layout mapping only once
    plus disabling MIGRATION_MODE during "rear recover"
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1857
  * Verify md5sums of files in recovery system
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1859
    Now during "rear mkrescue/mkbackup" md5sums are
    created for all regular files in in the recovery system
    and stored as /md5sums.txt in the recovery system.
    During recovery system startup it verifies those md5sums.
    Via the new config variable EXCLUDE_MD5SUM_VERIFICATION
    the user can specify what files should be excluded from being
    verified during recovery system startup or alternatively via
    EXCLUDE_MD5SUM_VERIFICATION='all' it can be completely skipped.
  * RAWDISK output portability improvements by trying several
    methods to make the kernel recognize partitions on the
    loop device that is used to create the RAWDISK image
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1846
  * Fixed, simplified, and enhanced GRUB2 installation
    on x86 compatible and ppc64le architecture
    cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1103081
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1828
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1843
    and https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1848
    Enhanced GRUB2 installation by the new config variable
    GRUB2_INSTALL_DEVICES so that now the user
    can specify what he wants if needed.
    In MIGRATION_MODE apply disk mappings when
    devices in GRUB2_INSTALL_DEVICES match,
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1437
    Made the apply_layout_mappings() function
    and its callers behave more fail safe,
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1845
    Made 250_migrate_disk_devices_layout.sh behave safer
    by saving restored original files before they get modified
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1847
    (some other scripts that also modify restored files
     may also need to be adapted accordingly).
  * Relax-and-Recover version 2.4 release, see
    http://relax-and-recover.org/documentation/release-notes-2-4
  * Fixed restore with disk built on multipath + md software raid
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1819
  * Copy backup restore log into recreated system
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1803
  * Fixed ReaR recovery when the OS contains a Thin Pool/Volume
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1806

  to provide upstream fixes and enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12
  SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively):
  It contains in particular:
  * Now by default the whole system default directory for keymaps
    gets included in the recovery system so that it can be used
    with various usual keyboards, cf.
    https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1781
  * Skip LUKS encrypted disks when guessing bootloader,
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1779
    and fixed 'Hah!IdontNeedEFI' case when guessing bootloader,
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1780
  * Fixed code that deals with the various kind of multipath
    device names, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1765
  * Enhanced Borg backup when destination server uses non-default
    SSH port, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1785
  * First draft of TSM backup (experimental) so that now
    a TSM backup can also be done during "rear mkbackup",
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1348

-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Update to GitHub master from Thu Apr 5 14:41:05 2018 +0200
  with latest git commit 89a53792e0dc9cb3f20d36719203e89b2e1823cf
  to provide upstream fixes and enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12
  SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively):
  It contains in particular:
  * Fixed a regression where excluded swap entries got no longer
    disabled in disklayout.conf, cf.
    https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1767#issuecomment-378919232
  * Automatically exclude file systems under control by docker,
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1749
  * Update hp_raid-functions.sh and 270_hpraid_layout.sh because
    in HP's SPP (Service Pack for Proliant) the hpacucli/hpssacli
    is now (recognised with Version 3.10) called "ssacli" and the
    installation directory and variable have been renamed into
    SSACLI_BIN_INSTALLATION_DIR=/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/
    cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1760

- Update to GitHub master from Thu Mar 15 08:57:59 2018 +0100
  with latest git commit 17c3e340014d7409c18afae77a58f8949c617df3
  to provide upstream enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12 SLEHA11
  (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively):
  It contains in particular:
  * In migration mode let the user confirm at beginning of the
    finalize stage that the up to that point recreated system
    (recreated disk layout plus restored backup) is OK to run
    the finalize stage (recreate the initrd and reinstall the
    bootloader). In case of a changed disk layout config files
    that were restored from the backup could contain outdated
    content which may need manual adaptions before the initrd
    gets recreated and the bootloader gets reinstalled.
    In particular in case of a changed disk layout the restored
    etc/fstab could be outdated and needs manual adaptions
    see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1758

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar  9 12:27:48 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Update to GitHub master from Fri Mar 9 11:47:24 2018 +0100
  with latest git commit 84f7813a0a79b4e3cbac6a4d847ba91229a4183a
  to provide upstream bugfixes for SLEHA15, SLEHA12, and SLEHA11
  (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively):
  It contains in particular fixes for the below described
   "Major rework and changed default behaviour how ReaR behaves
    in migration mode when partitions can or must be resized
    to fit on replacement disks with different size"
  where "rear recover" may have aborted falsely and silently
  see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1747

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar  6 16:29:44 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Update to GitHub master from Tue Mar 6 14:25:21 2018 +0100
  with latest git commit 10f46ed40045cda8caca191382e4de9175c99db8
  that contains the following major changes since ReaR version 2.3
  to provide bugfixes and enhancements for SUSE Linux Enterprise
  (fate#323930 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA15)
  (fate#323931 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA12)
  (fate#323932 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA11):
  * Major rework and changed default behaviour how ReaR behaves
    in migration mode when partitions can or must be resized
    to fit on replacement disks with different size,
    see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1731 and the
    related issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/102
    The new default behaviour is that only the partition end value
    of the last partition on a disk (and therefore its size)
    may get changed if really needed but no partition start value
    gets changed to avoid changes of the partition alignment.
    The new 420_autoresize_last_partitions script implements
    the new behaviour and the old 400_autoresize_disks was
    renamed into 430_autoresize_all_partitions to still provide
    the old behaviour if that is explicitly requested by the user
    but the old behaviour may result unexpected changes
    of arbitrary partitions on a disk.
    The new config variables AUTORESIZE_PARTITIONS
    AUTORESIZE_EXCLUDE_PARTITIONS
    AUTOSHRINK_DISK_SIZE_LIMIT_PERCENTAGE
    AUTOINCREASE_DISK_SIZE_THRESHOLD_PERCENTAGE
    determine how ReaR behaves in migration mode
    when partitions can or must be resized.
    With AUTORESIZE_PARTITIONS='yes' the old behaviour is done.
    With AUTORESIZE_PARTITIONS='no' no partition gets resized.
    With the default AUTORESIZE_PARTITIONS='' at most the last
    active partition on each active disk gets resized but only
    if really needed which also depends on the settings of the
    other config variables above.
    For details see default.conf and the two 'autoresize' scripts.
    For some examples see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1733
  * New ReaR recovery system network setup script generator:
    A full rewrite of rescue/GNU/Linux/310_network_devices.sh
    that generates the recovery system network setup script
    (etc/scripts/system-setup.d/60-network-devices.sh)
    that is run during the ReaR recovery system startup.
    Now it also handles some corner cases and odd setups that
    can be found from time to time, typically when the
    administrator uses bonding + bridges + vlans and teaming.
    Also interface mapping code is added to the corresponding
    rescue/GNU/Linux/350_routing.sh script generating the routing
    setup script etc/scripts/system-setup.d/62-routing.sh
    that is run during the ReaR recovery system startup.
  * During ReaR recovery system startup skip 62-routing.sh
    if default gateway is already set in 60-network-devices.sh
    plus some other minor cleanups and enhancements that are
    related to the recovery system kernel parameters
    ip=... nm=... netdev=... gw=...
  * Simpler and more fail-safe SLE btrfs-example.conf files:
    Simpler findmnt command example in the comment and
    more fail-safe BACKUP_PROG_INCLUDE example arrays
    that contains now plain directories /dir instead of '/dir/*'
    so that now also the directory itself and dot-files /dir/.file
    get included in the tar backup archive,
    see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1714
  * Clean termination of ReaR's descendant processes to
    fix https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1712
  * Fixed support for GPT partition names with blanks
    and/or other non-alphanumeric ASCII characters but
    UTF-8 encoded GPT partition names are still not supported.
  * New initial support for TCG Opal 2-compliant self-encrypting
    disks and RAWDISK output.
  * Simplified TSM dsmc restore backup code to be more fail-safe.
  * Fixes and enhancements for Duplicity backup support.
  * Added basic support for EMC Avamar backup.
  * Enhanced Borg backup support.
  * Initial support for ARM:
    It should work with Raspberry Pis, most TI
    and Allwinner devices.
    Currently only OUTPUT=PXE is supported. You need to
    manually craft a bootable disk with the kernel and initrd.
    Automatic bootloader detection is not implemented.
    You need to set BOOTLOADER to either "ARM", which is
    a dummy and does nothing, or "ARM-ALLWINNER" which
    will backup and restore the Allwinner bootloader.
    For Raspberry and most TI devices it should be enough to
    include the first fat partition (containing the MLO
    or bootcode.bin) in the backup to backup the bootloader.
    Currently it was tested only on an Allwinner PcDuino.
    Testing and adaptions for other ARM devices is needed,
    see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1197
  * Initial support for YUM+backup:
    YUM+backup adds the ability to backup and restore files to
    the YUM method, see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1740
    This is a continuation of the YUM backup method,
    see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1464
    The YUM method, like the ZYPPER method, recreates the
    target system from scratch using a list of RPMs captured
    from the source system.
    The only files backed up via YUM+backup are those which were
    either not provided by RPM packages or were provided by RPM
    packages, but have been modified.
    This minimizes the number of files included in the backup
    while still capturing every file on the system not explicitly
    excluded using options like BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE,
    EXCLUDE_MOUNTPOINTS, etc.
    For details see the new configuration options in default.conf
    for the YUM method and the new documentation of the YUM and
    ZYPPER methods in doc/user-guide/14-ZYPPER-and-YUM.adoc
    In particular ZYPPER+backup is not supported.
    Currently there is only some very basic, initial, and
    experimental support for a plain ZYPPER method.

Tue Jan  9 16:02:22 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de

- New package rear23a for SUSE Linux Enterprise
  (fate#323930 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA15)
  (fate#323931 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA12)
  (fate#323932 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA11)
  which is the current upstream ReaR 2.3 release where the
  package name "rear23a" is already prepared to make future
  SUSE specific adaptions and enhancements possible if needed
  (see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/666)
  so that adaptions and enhancements could be provided
  independent of other ReaR packages like "rear118a"
  see the "Warning for users who upgrade Relax-and-Recover"
  in the entry below dated "Thu Oct  8 11:04:18 CEST 2015".

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Dec 21 13:28:39 CET 2017 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Using newest rear-2.3.tar.gz tarball from sourceforge
  cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1656

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Dec 20 16:56:11 CET 2017 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Version upgrade to 2.3
  (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932)
  New features and bigger enhancements:
  * First steps towards running ReaR unattended in general
  * SSH support in the recovery system is now secure by default
  * Improved verification of the recovery system contents
  * ReaR is now more safe against recreating on a wrong disk
  Possibly backward incompatible changes:
  * In addition to STDERR now also STDOUT is redirected into the
    log file so that when programs prompt via STDOUT to get input
    the program's prompt could be no longer visible to the user
  * There are no longer private SSH keys in the recovery system by
    default and a RSA key is generated from scratch when starting
    sshd during recovery system startup so that it does no longer
    work by default to use SSH in the recovery system via the
    SSH keys that exist on the original system
  * By default it is now fatal when 'ldd' reports a 'not found'
    library for any file in a /bin/ or /sbin/ directory in the
    recovery system so that now 'rear mkrescue/mkbackup'
    may fail where it had (blindly) worked before
  * Improved autodetection when the disk layout looks ambiguous.
    Now 'rear recover' switches by default more often into the
    MIGRATION_MODE where manual disk layout configuration happens
    via several user dialogs so that by default 'rear recover'
    shows more often user dialogs
  A detailed list can be found in the rear-release-notes.txt file

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jul 26 12:58:25 CEST 2017 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Version upgrade to 2.2
  A detailed list can be found in the rear-release-notes.txt file.
  Changes include (excerpt):
  * Let the get_disk_size() function retry several times to be more
    fail-safe when udev needs some time until device files appear.
    This introduces the new generic helper function retry_command()
    plus the new config variables REAR_SLEEP_DELAY and
    REAR_MAX_RETRIES. For details see default.conf and
    lib/layout-functions.sh (issue #1370)
  * ReaR failed to continue due incorrect check of presence
    of USB device (REAR-000) in /proc/mounts, despite foregoing
    script (060_mount_NETFS_path.sh) did mounting of this device
    (issue #1415)
  * Add missing privilege separation dir to start sshd
    on Debian 9 (issue #1381)
  * Redirect rsync verbose output to backup log (issue #1387)
  * Load storage controllers in rescue system in same order
    as on host system (issue #1384):
    Copy over modules from initrd on SUSE LINUX and prevent sorting
    of MODULES_LOAD array to keep the order intended.
  * Add /yaboot to ISO_FILE when running SUSE ppc64 (issue #1414)
  * Add SSL cert directories so we can interact
    with Google Cloud Storage (issue #1402)
  * Modified the "unattended" into "automatic" with ISO_DEFAULT
    required for automated recovery tests (issue #1397)
  * Use the original fds when ReaR was launched (which are now
    saved as fd6, fd7, and fd8 for stdin, stdout, and stderr
    respectively) for actually intended user input and user output.
    To keep backward compatible behaviour all old deprecated usage
    of '>&8' is converted into '>/dev/null' but /dev/null usage
    in general should be cleaned up later (issues #887, #1395)
  * Added new generic UserInput and UserOutput plus LogUserOutput
    functions that are intended to replace current user input
    functionality that calls select or read directly.
    For the next ReaR version 2.3 it is planned to also
    redirect stdout into the log file in addition to stderr
    (issues #885, #1366, #1398, #1399)
  * The 'make rpm' now relies on 'make srpm' which creates
    the src.rpm package first. This src.rpm package can then
    be easily copied to another computer to rebuild a rpm package
    from it without needed the sources itself (or git checkout)
    (issue #1389)
  * Replaced some perl regexp with grep native extended regexp
    (issue #1376)
  * Introducing SECURE_BOOT_BOOTLOADER variable in default.conf
    This variable should enable users booting with Secure Boot,
    to use whatever custom signed boot loader they like, and
    removes hard coded entry "shim.efi" from ReaRs code
    (issue #1374)
  * Enhanced and cleaned up making ISO on POWER (ppc64/ppc64le).
    Now the backup can be stored in the ISO (via BACKUP_URL=iso...)
    and even multiple ISOs work on POWER now (issues #697, #1383)
  * Create multipath.conf only during migration (from non-mulitpath
    to multipath), and always copy /etc/multipath/bindings to the
    TARGET_FS_ROOT (issues #1382, #1393)
- Version upgrade to 2.1
  A detailed list can be found in the rear-release-notes.txt file.
  Changes include (excerpt):
  * Support for Grub2 installation with software RAID1 on Linux
    on POWER (ppc64/ppc64le) (issue #1369)
  * REBUILD_INITRAMFS variable was introduced.
    The new default.conf setting REBUILD_INITRAMFS="yes" rebuilds
    the initramfs/initrd during "rear recover" to be more on the

  * The USB_DEVICE_PARTED_LABEL=gpt setting is now honered
    while formatting the USB disk (issue #1153)
- Version upgrade to 2.0
  Backward incompatible change: ReaR 2.00 introduced the 3-digits
  scripts instead of the 2-digits script. This means all scripts
  must begin with 3 digits, e.g. 010-my-script.sh instead
  of 10-my-script. Therefore, if you wrote your own scripts
  make sure to renumber these.
  A detailed list can be found in the rear-release-notes.txt file.

    in the currently running system in unexpected ways. With the
    new optional GRUB_RESCUE_USER setting GRUB_RESCUE works in
    compliance with the existing GRUB2 configuration

Wed Sep 28 11:37:23 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Update to GitHub master from Wed Sep 28 11:29:55 2016 +0200
  with latest Git commit 35975dfbaa08978a91b8591073d8dc3821a79a4c
  that fixes the reboot halt poweroff and shutdown commands
  that did no longer work in the rear recovery system
  with newest systemd/systemctl (e.g. in SLE12-SP2 and FC24),
  see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/953 (bsc#1001629).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 26 11:51:53 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Update to GitHub master from Fri Sep 23 12:37:17 2016 +0200
  with latest Git commit 6c31e79dc6a21b891ee644f3ffacd22761b698f9.
  This is mainly a cosmetical and documentation update.
  It is primarily intended to make a better (first) impression.
  It fixes misspelled forms of 'SUSE' and 'Relax-and-Recover' and
  has more clear documentation regarding "BACKUP_TYPE=incremental"
  (because our automated "sle-changelog-checker" requires a
   SUSE-specific ID - voila - here you are: bsc#999227).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Sep 20 13:21:17 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Update to GitHub master from Tue Sep 20 12:46:33 2016 +0200
  with latest Git commit 77b346ccce00b1a7dcda5e8b236ca0dd66f49af3.
  It contains Git commit 90a03db45b27a4cae067af4127d3f4c0e7d0f30e
  that added SLE12-SP2-btrfs-example.conf that contains
  a POST_RECOVERY_SCRIPT that implements btrfs quota setup
  for snapper if that is used in the original system,
  see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/999 (bsc#999227).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 18 15:27:02 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Update to GitHub master from Wed Aug 17 15:01:46 2016 +0200
  with latest Git commit 86240b05983ffe33a936de966f145e118745899f.
  It contains Git commit a4443a53dcb2399b8f1d04d6c6873944ab5597ed
  that makes it working in general more fail-safe against wrong
  btrfs subvolumes on SLE12. Now snapper's own subvolumes and
  falsely created normal subvolumes below snapper's base subvolume
  are automatically excluded from being recreated by listing them
  only as comments in disklayout.conf during "rear mkbackup".
  Furthermore if such subvolumes are active in disklayout.conf
  (e.g. because the user has manually activated them) they are
  skipped during "rear recover" plus LogPrint info for the user,
  see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/963. For example
  systemd may create such wrong btrfs subvolumes namely
  @/.snapshots/1/snapshot/var/lib/machines (cf. below) see
  http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-07/msg00591.html
  which was rediscovered as bsc#992573.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug  4 10:52:47 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Update to GitHub master from Wed Aug 3 16:19:22 2016 +0200
  with latest Git commit 01f35154b35de0d4829cfe2a5502d4f839c27d45
  that should make 'rear recover' work on SLE12-SP2 with the
  default btrfs subvolume structure on SLE12-SP2 because at least
  the default btrfs subvolume structure on SLE12-SP2-beta5
  is not sufficiently backward compatible with the default btrfs
  subvolume structure on SLE12-SP1 (there is the additional btrfs
  normal subvolume @/.snapshots/1/snapshot/var/lib/machines), see
  https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/944 (see also bsc#990675).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 10 11:01:11 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Update to GitHub master from Tue May 10 11:01:47 CEST 2016
  with Git commit bd3d2ac41c7ed04352abd28de16b9493aff40683
  that removed the outdated and leftover EXCLUDE_RECREATE from
  the btrfs example config files SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf
  and SLE12-btrfs-example.conf because excluding btrfs subvolumes
  via EXCLUDE_RECREATE was only needed in our SLE12-specific
  RPM package "rear116" (with special adaptions for btrfs support)
  but it leads to falsely excluded btrfs subvolumes from
  the backup (and restore) for all newer rear versions
  (i.e. since rear 1.17), see the GitHub issue 821
  https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/821 in particular see
  https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/821#issuecomment-215071027
  (because our automated "sle-changelog-checker" requires a
   SUSE-specific ID - voila - here you are: bsc#946389).
  This means users who use btrfs and upgrade from our
  SLE12-specific RPM package "rear116" to a newer rear version
  must manually adapt their /etc/rear/local.conf file.
  This is a good example for what is documented in the section
  "Rear Version Updates" in our SLE12-HA manual and online at
  "Version upgrades with Relax-and-Recover (rear)" in
  https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery
  that reads (excerpt): "For each rear version upgrade and
  for each change of a software that is used by rear you must
  carefully and completely re-validate that your particular
  disaster recovery procedure still works for you."

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Apr 13 14:30:31 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de

- New package rear118a for SUSE Linux Enterprise (fate#319332).
  It is the upstream GitHub master from Wed Apr 13 14:00 CEST 2016
  (latest Git commit 11eb7d19e5484c19783b86a705bc3aeed34b250c)
  that is rear version 1.18 plus enhancements regarding ebiso
  mainly let rear determine EFI virtual disk size automatically
  (cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/810).
  ebiso is used since rear version 1.18 for making a UEFI bootable
  rear recovery system ISO image on SUSE Linux Enterprise systems
  (see also bsc#931824).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Mar 22 10:36:19 CET 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Version upgrade to 1.18

  upstream sources.
- SLE12-SP1-btrfs.patch and rear1172a-gpt_sync_mbr.patch
  are obsolete because it is now implemented in the upstream
  sources.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Nov  3 15:00:49 CET 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Create a separate directory /usr/share/rear/conf/examples/ for
  example config files, see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/681
  and install the SUSE example config files there - i.e.:
  /usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE11-ext3-example.conf
  /usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE12-btrfs-example.conf
  /usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 28 15:27:59 CET 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de

- rear1172a-gpt_sync_mbr.patch adds support for the
  SUSE specific gpt_sync_mbr partitioning
  see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/544
  (bsc#950610).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct 16 13:02:44 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Enhanced SLE12-SP1-btrfs.patch so that for mounted btrfs
  subvolumes that have the 'no copy on write' attribute set
  those btrfs subvolumes are recreated with that attribute set
  (by using 'chattr' on the btrfs subvolume directory),
  see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/556
  (bsc#946006 fate#318701).
- Enhanced SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf so that also lsattr is
  in the recovery system (useful but not strictly required).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Oct  8 11:04:18 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Version 1.17.2.a is rear 1.17.2 with SLE12-SP1-btrfs.patch that
  makes it work specifically for the default btrfs structure
  in SLE12-SP1, see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/556
  (bsc#946006 fate#318701).
- SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf is an example for SLE12-SP1
  with default btrfs subvolumes that gets installed
  as /usr/share/rear/conf/SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf
- Warning for users who upgrade Relax-and-Recover (rear):
  Users who already use it must re-validate that their
  particular disaster recovery procedure still works.
  See in particular "Version upgrades" at
  http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery
  Automatic version upgrades are not possible in practice.
  The user must explicitly specify his intended rear version.
  For one product like SLE11 or SLE12 we provide several versions
  in parallel so that users where version N does not support their
  particular needs can upgrade to version M but on the other hand
  users who have a working disaster recovery procedure with
  version N do not need to upgrade. Therefore the package name
  contains the version and all packages conflict with each other
  to avoid that an installed version gets accidentally
  replaced with another version.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

    works on Debian 8, Ubuntu 15.04 (issue #624)
  * Bail out when syslinux/modules are not found in lib/
    bootloader-functions.sh (issues #467 and #596)
    You could also define a variable SYSLINUX_MODULES_DIR if rear
    cannot find it automatically (should not be necessary)
  * Support was added for SLES11 on PPC64 hardware
    (issues #616 and #628)
  * Support was added for new hardware - PPC64LE - RHEL
    and Ubuntu (issue # 627)
  * FIX the hashed password (SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD variable) and
    added a missing library libfreeblpriv3 (issue #560)
  * Insert a 3 seconds sleep after a volume group restauration
    to give udevd or systemd-udevd time to create needed devices
    (issue #608 and #617)
  * Variable MANUAL_INCLUDE=YES has been introduced to work with
    array BACKUP_PROG_INCLUDE (issue #597)
  * Add new variable NSR_DEFAULT_POOL_NAME (defaulting to Default)
    to use a different default pool name.
    Renamed the RETENTION_TIME variable to NSR_RETENTION_TIME
    (issue #640)
  * new document 10-integrating-external-backup.adoc which
    explains the steps to take for a new backup integration
    into rear
  * All AsciiDoc documentation changed extention
    from .txt to .adoc
- Known restrictions on openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise
  (in general see https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery):
  * rear 1.17.2 will not work with default btrfs on SLES12-SP1
    because support for btrfs in rear explicitly excludes
    snapshot subvolumes but on SLES12-SP1 what is mounted
    at '/' will be a btrfs snapshot subvolume (issue #556)
  * rear 1.17.2 does not work with UEFI because of various
    different reasons (issues #588 #585 #583 #229 #214)
  * rear does not support partitions of type 'gpt_sync_mbr'
    aka. 'hybrid (synced) MBR' (issue #544)

- Use "ExclusiveArch: %ix86 x86_64 ppc ppc64 ppc64le" instead
  of "BuildArch: noarch" in the spec file.
  rear contains only bash scripts plus documentation so that
  on first glance it could be "BuildArch: noarch" but actually
  it is not "noarch" because it only works on those architectures
  that are explicitly supported. Of course the rear bash scripts
  can be installed on any architecture just as any binaries can be
  installed on any architecture. But the meaning of architecture
  dependent packages should be on what architectures they will
  work. Therefore only those architectures that are actually
  supported are explicitly listed. This avoids that rear can
  be "just installed" on architectures that are actually
  not supported (e.g. ARM or IBM z Systems).
  Furthermore for some architectures it requires architecture
  dependent packages (like syslinux for x86 and x86_64)
  so that rear must be architecture dependent.
  See the GitHub issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/629

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun 30 13:57:05 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Update to version 1.17.1
  * Removed the plain password in the logs (and output) coming
    from BACKUP_PROG_CRYPT_KEY to avoid crib (issue #568)
  * Mount vfat file system without special mount options
    seems to work much better then with these options in recovery
    mode, therefore, we do not use these anymore (especially
    for /boot/efi) (issue #576)
  * Elilo support has been added for SLES
    (not fully tested yet) - issue #583
  * Grub2 rescue menu has been added (enable this feature
    with GRUB_RESCUE=y) - issue #589
  * splitted script 31_include_uefi_tools.sh in two pieces:
    31_include_uefi_tools.sh: to grab the UEFI tools (as long
    as /boot/efi is mounted), and 32_include_uefi_env.sh: to dig
    deeper into the configuration when UEFI is active
    (related to issue #214). This is necessary to have to UEFI
    tools on SLES 11/12 where we cannot create an UEFI bootable
    ISO image. We must boot in BIOS mode, and need the UEFI tools
    to make the system bootable over UEFI.
  * It is now possible to format an USB disk with a vfat and ext3
    partition (for UEFI booting) - issue #593
      rear -v format -- --efi /dev/<usbdevice>
    However, UEFI booting from an USB disk has not been
    implemented yet (sponsoring?).
  * Simplified the code for ext* fs and added StopIfError calls
    to prevent divide by zero during recovery (issue #598)
  * Syslinux version >6 requires some special handling due to
    splitting up the package (Ubuntu 15.04) (issue #584)
  * Debian 8 support added with ISO booting with latest syslinux
    release as well (issues #596, #599 and #600)
  * Changed the behavior of SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD - now saved as MD5
    hash password, but backwards compatibility is still respected
    (issue #560)
  * For EMC NetWorker server/client we added some exclude items
    to COPY_AS_IS_EXCLUDE_NSR (issue #571)
  * Removed the Warning message from main rear script as it was
    misleading (issues #563 and #564)
  * output/ISO/Linux-i386/80_create_isofs.sh: make sure
    ISO_FILES[@] are copied to isofs directory (issue #569)
- SLE11-ext3-example.conf is an example for SLE11
  with default ext3 filesystem that gets installed as
  /usr/share/rear/conf/SLE11-ext3-example.conf
- SLE12-btrfs-example.conf is an example for SLE12
  with default btrfs subvolumes that gets installed
  as /usr/share/rear/conf/SLE12-btrfs-example.conf
- Have config(noreplace) also for all files in /usr/share/rear/
  to avoid that RPM package update overwrites user edited files
  because Relax-and-Recover (rear) is meant to be adapted and
  enhanced by the user according to his particular needs
  (see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery).
- Added rear-rpmlintrc to filter the following false positives
  rpmlint warning messages:
  * non-etc-or-var-file-marked-as-conffile
    because config(noreplace) is intentionally for all files
    in /usr/share/rear/ (see above)
  * systemd-service-without-service_del_preun
    systemd-service-without-service_del_postun
    systemd-service-without-service_add_pre
    systemd-service-without-service_add_post
    because the systemd unit files in /usr/share/rear/skel/
    are not meant to be used in the running system.
    They are used to build the rear recovery system ISO image.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Mar 15 19:42:07 UTC 2015 - p.drouand@gmail.com

- Update to version 1.17.0
  * rear 1.17 introduced a new stage directory (init) which
    is called before any workflow. Can be used for extra
    initialization code, custom configurations and other stuff
    that should happen each time that ReaR is used (was added
    especially for DRLM as plugin for their DRLM variables)
    (issue #557)
  * RHEL 5 could not mount NFS share as portmap daemon was not
    started yet. Reason was that script
    verify/NETFS/default/08_start_required_daemons.sh
    was executed after the mount test instead of before.
    (issue #547)
  * RHEL 6 on PPC64 architecture has problems with seclabel mount
    option. There was a fix which cuts the seclabel mount option
    (as rear is by default not using SELinux) (issue #545)
  * Disaster Recovery Linux Manager (DRLM) is a new Open Source
    project to centrally manage Disaster Recovery for Linux.
    ReaR 1.17 adds support for DRLM with a new configuration
    option DRLM_MANAGED=y (issue #522)
  * Adding /etc/crypto-policies/ when openssl is requested
    (prep/NETFS/default/09_check_encrypted_backup.sh) - required
    for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179239
    (issue #523)
  * Introduced USING_UEFI_BOOTLOADER in default.conf file and
    modified all the involved scripts to follow the logic
    (issue #214)
  * Archicture PPC64 has been enhanced (partition recognition
    issue #536, console #537)
  * TSM restore filespace has been enhanced (issue #535)
  * Correct the usage of set -e and StopIfError function
    (issue #534, #541)
  * With BACKUP_TYPE=incremental disable variable
    NETFS_KEEP_OLD_BACKUP_COPY (mutual exclusive with this mode)
    (issue #143)
  * Increased to start variable from 32768 to 2097152 in script
    10_include_partition_code.sh (issue #492)
  * Adding /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf (Ubuntu) to rear image
    when found (issue #520)
  * When using /etc/rear/mappings/ip_addresses IPADDR/cidr
    must be translated into IPADDR and NETMASK (for RHEL 5 and 6)
    (issue #460)
  * mdadm layout code was changed in RHEL 7; code to deal with it
    (issue #518)
  * Adding missing driver xhci_hcd to GNU/Linux.conf (issue #519)
  * Adding findmnt command to GNU/Linux.conf file; request
    from https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908854
  * BTRFS code has been rewritten by J. Meixner to get
    SUSE rear116 fork back into our master tree of rear. BTRFS is
    now properly recreated on Fedora 20 and 21 and on SLES 12 and
    openSUSE 13 (issue #233, #497, #538) See also
    https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908854
  * Enhanced the systemd start-up of udev daemons which is
    different on Fedora 20 and 21 (issue #507, #531)
  * BACKUP_PROG_OPTIONS="anchored" became a default option
    in default.conf (issue #475)
  * Fixed an issue with auto-detection of the client name
    in BAREOS (issue #542)
  * Ubuntu 14.04 did not detect /dev/sda automatically - added
    upstart script 99-makedev.sh to create missing block devices
    like sda (issue #446)
  * New script
    usr/share/rear/layout/save/GNU/Linux/34_false_blacklisted.sh
    added as work-around. Sometimes we might see the HP Smart
    Storage Array disk listed as a multipath device. Most likely
    this device was not blacklisted in the blacklist section of
    the /etc/multipath.conf file (do not forget to rebuilt the
    initial ramdisk after this) e.g.
    falsempathdev=$( multipath -l | grep "HP,LOGICAL" | awk '{print $1}' )
    # mpatha
  * Added a systemd service script for SEP Sesam to start sesam
    client automatically (issue #498)
  * Disk Layout Generation with HP SmartArray with more than
    one Logical Drive correction introduced by issue #208
    (issue #455)
  * OUTPUT_URL=null was added to avoid 2 ISO images on the local
    system (issue #501, #419)
  * Fix drbd restore code so it can handle multiple volumes in
    single resource (issue #495)
  * Function get_device_name was enhanced to properly translate
    /dev/vg/lv to /dev/mapper/vg-lv (issue #494)
  * Fixed the "lvm wait yes" problem (issue #493)
  * Device name conflict when grep disklayout file without proper
    space (issue #491)
  * Several fixes with mdadm code
    (issue #480, #489, #490, #508, #539)
  * Several fixes in the 10_include_partition_code.sh script
    (issue #487, #492)
  * Being a bit more careful when deleting the outputfs directory
    when rear finishes (issue #465)
  * Add a new config option USE_STATIC_NETWORKING (issue #488)
  * Resolving library search with duply (issue #482)
  * Improved the RPM package build for SLES, removed
    the lsb requirement (issue #479)
  * Integrated the patch skip_sysconfig_kernel_if_not_exist.diff
    from SUSE (issue #477)
  * Debian 7 reference to grub.conf was corrected (issue #473)
  * Debian packing was improved (issue #474, #484)
  * Commercial backup solution Galaxy 10 support added to rear
    (issue #471)
    Also, point in time recovery was implemented (issue #472)
  * Fixed the error "unary operator expected with BACKUP_TYPE"
    (issue #422)
  * lvm release 2.02.72 had already the knowledge
    of norestorefile (issue #462)
  * Add prefix $OUTPUT_PREFIX to all PXE related files
    (issue #464)
  * 55-migrate-network-devices.sh: fixed type with /sys/class/net
    (issue #459)
  * Removed Get_Start_Date function with Netbackup because
    (depending on backup strategy) it led to partial restore
    only (issue #456)
  * 26_crypt_layout.sh: fixed issue when cypher contains :
    (issue #425)
  * 55-migrate-network-devices.sh: rebuild the array instead
    of unset (issue #452)
  * skel/default/etc/scripts/system-setup : change uname -n
    by $HOSTNAME to avoid short/long hostname problems
    (issue #439)
  * Added a mkdir for $VAR_DIR/output if dir does not exist
    (issue #440)
  * 95_check_missing_programs.sh to find REQUIRED_PROGS before
    proceeding (issue #418)
  * Added a fix for autorizing and recognizong the boot flag
    in the partition (issue #443)
  * udev showing error message during startup (issue #442)
  * Prevent "ntpd -q" from waiting forever if, for example,
    no network is available, by killing it after 10 seconds
    (issue #438)
  * Several improvements around duply and duplicity
    [Debian related] (issues #426, #478)
  * 95_copy_result_files.sh uses now [*] instead of [@] with
    array (issue #431)
  * New variable introduced for TSM in default.conf file
    called LANG_RECOVER (issue #424)
  * Added Pre check script for removing older releases first
    during upgrade (RPM - issue #361)
  * Prevent udev rule rewrites if systemd-udevd is running
    issue #405
  * Fix "Networker backup fails if pool name contains spaces"
    (issue #427 and #429)
  * Fix the "More than 128 partitions is not supported" problem
    (issue #373 and #428) during recreating the partition layout
  * A new configuration option, USE_STATIC_NETWORKING=y, will
    cause statically configured network settings to be applied
    even when USE_DHCLIENT is in effect (issue #447).
- Remove rear-release-notes.txt-1.16; rear-release-notes.txt has
  been updated
- Remove traditional_style_for_bash_3.diff; merged on upstream
  release

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 13 12:28:52 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Provide also the other documentation ("make install" only
  installs the man page).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May  9 14:48:24 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Version upgrade to 1.16 from upstream (fate#316508)
  that has in particular VLAN tagging support (fate#317032).
  For details see the rear-release-notes.txt file.
  Warning for users who upgrade Relax-and-Recover (rear):
  Users who already use it must re-validate that their
  particular disaster recovery procedure still works.
  See in particular "Version upgrades" at
  http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery
- bug-859436_40_restore_with_tsm.sh.diff is obsolete
  because the issue is fixed in the uptream sources.
- rear-release-notes.txt-1.16 replaces the outdated
  doc/rear-release-notes.txt from rear-1.16.tar.gz.
- traditional_style_for_bash_3.diff replaces bash 4.x syntax
  with traditional style for bash 3.x if bash 3.x is used
  (i.e. up to openSUSE:11.1 and SLE11 where we have bash 3.x)
  where the test in the build environment assumes that the
  same bash major version is also used by the end-user in his
  runtime environment but even if the end-user had upgraded
  his bash it should not matter because bash 3.x syntax
  should also work for bash 4.x.
- Added an explicit os.conf to not depend on LSB dependencies
  to avoid calling "lsb_release" in config-functions.sh
  that might result inconsistent values (bnc#877042).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb  7 17:23:08 CET 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Added "Requires: lsb-release" because rear calls "lsb_release"
  in /usr/share/rear/lib/config-functions.sh (bnc#861871).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb  7 12:08:12 CET 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Cleanup of the LSB RPM requirements (bnc#861871):
  Replaced "Requires: lsb" by explicitly requiring
  only those RPM packages that are mandatory for rear
  (in particular when a binary is called in a script)
  because "Requires: lsb" would require much too much,
  see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807747#c4
  "A distribution is LSB Certified or LSB compliant if and only if
   the distribution provides all requirements as outlined in the
   specification."
  Accordingly the lsb RPM requires tons of stuff that is not
  needed by rear (in particular various graphical libraries,
  sound stuff, printing stuff, and so on).
- Replaced rear-1.15.tar.gz with the current one from upstream at
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/rear/files/rear/1.15/rear-1.15.tar.gz
  that contains exactly same files but the tarball differs
  (probably it was re-packed at upstream) and that causes
  failures of our automated factory-auto check scripts like:
  "download_files is configured to fail when the upstream file
   is different then the committed file".

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jan 22 13:00:39 CET 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de

- Version upgrade to 1.15 from upstream (fate#316508).
  For details see the rear-release-notes.txt file.
- bug-859436_40_restore_with_tsm.sh.diff fixes recovery
  with TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) since version 6.4 that
  results in an error message "ANS1102E" as fixed upstream
  in https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/356 (bnc#859436).
- Warning for users who upgrade from rear 1.10.0
  (e.g. when upgrading from SUSE Linux Enterprise 11):
  Rear 1.15 has many new features and fundamental changes.
  In particular the filesystem creation is totally different
  (via the so called "layout workflow" instead of the old
  "dr workflow" that has been removed in rear 1.14).
  Users who already use rear must completely re-validate that
  their particular disaster recovery procedure still works.
  See in particular "Version upgrades" at
  http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery
