Hi folks,
I have released schroot version 1.3.0, which will shortly be uploaded
to Debian experimental. This will undergo further testing and gain
a few more features and fixes (see the TODO file) before it enters
Debian unstable as a 1.4.x stable series targeted at squeeze.
If you are an schroot user, or use schroot with sbuild, I'd really
appreciate you giving this a go. It's been in regular use by
developers for several months, and is regarded as being stable and
safe for general use. Once we are happy there are no regressions
from the current 1.2.x stable series, we will consider moving it to
unstable. While there are not currently any known problems with the
code, it has undergone a number of large changes, and given the
number of different ways in which people are using schroot, it's not
possible to test every use case out there. The most likely issues
are not being fully backward compatible with the configuration file
format used in earlier versions (we aim to be fully compatible with
all 1.2.x versions), which should be reported as bugs.
The major new feature in this release is the addition of union
filesystem support, by Jan-Marek Glogowski. This is likely to
replace LVM snapshot support as the preferred way of cloning
sessions due to the increased speed and robustness it offers, as
well as using up less discspace for each clone. If you try out
this exciting new feature, feedback would be much appreciated.
schroot is available from the project's git repository:
git clone git://git.debian.org/git/buildd-tools/schroot
This release is tagged as release/schroot-1.3.0, with the
debian release tagged as debian/schroot-1.3.0-1
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, as well as
all of the others who provided bug reports and suggestions for
improvements.
I hope you enjoy it!
Regards,
Roger
Major changes in 1.3.0:
1) Exec scripts have been removed. Unlike setup scripts, these
scripts were never used, and there are no known uses for them.
Removing them will improve the performance of schroot. The
run-exec-scripts configuration option is no longer used, but
is still permitted to be used until it is obsoleted in a
future release.
2) Setup scripts are now always run for all chroot types except
"plain". In practice, scripts were required for all types
except "plain" in order to function correctly. The ability to
configure this is not useful and so setting run-setup-scripts is
now deprecated in schroot.conf. It may still be set for backward
compatibility, but it has no effect and will be removed in the
future.
3) Chroot configuration files in /etc/schroot/chroot.d are not
loaded if they are backup files or dpkg conffile backups.
4) Support for GCC versions prior to 3.4 has been removed.
5) System databases are copied into the chroot using the getent
program to use the appropriate name service switch (NSS) modules
to get the data, rather than just copying the files. This means
all NSS database sources are supported, including NIS and LDAP.
6) Setup script output is logged to stderr which prevents schroot
outputting to stdout when run with verbose logging enabled.
7) Most schroot features are compiled conditionally, which should
ease porting to non-Linux platforms.
8) Support for union filesystems has been added (aufs and unionfs).
This permits the use of read-only block-device, directory and
loopback chroots with a temporary writable overlay. For "scratch"
temporary chroots, this method is recommended over the existing
LVM snapshot support. It is considered to be faster, more
robust, and uses less disc space.
9) The "command-prefix" option no longer requires an absolute path
to the command. It will use the normal search path inside the
chroot to locate the command.
10) When creating a session, the users in "users", "root-users", and
groups in "groups" and "root-groups" are no longer preserved.
The user requesting access will be the sole user listed in
"users" for the session; however, if the user was in "root-users"
or "root-groups", they will be added to "root-users" instead.
This ensures that only the user creating the session will have
access, so that other users having access to the chroot will not
also automatically gain access to other users sessions.
