Description:

This update provides version 1.22.0 of machinery and brings various fixes and improvements:

  • Add remaining systemd service states in Kiwi export.
  • Add export of system descriptions as HTML page. This provides an offline view of description.
  • Fix changed files inspections on dpkg systems in case of diversions.
  • Add attribute in patterns scope to identify the patterns manager.
  • Improve navigation in HTML view to connect "list", "show" and "compare" functionality.
  • Fix service inspector on systemd to include instantiated services.
  • Introduce format version 10 to allow distinction between files and directories for meta data of unmanaged files. This distinction is only available for newly inspected descriptions. Additionally, an attribute in the patterns scope was added to identify the patterns manager.
  • Added explanation for 'N/A' fields for each scope.
  • Added support of the ARM architectures "armv6l", "armv7l" and "aarch64" to our machinery-helper.
  • Introduce format version 9 which fixes a migration issue.
  • Rename config-files inspector to changed-config-files inspector to be more intuitive.
  • Following the previous change the analyze operation was also renamed to changed-config-files-diffs.
  • Add explanation for patterns-tasks relationship for Debian based systems.
  • Public serve task now prints hostname for sharing.
  • Fix export of description with no repositories scope to Autoyast.
  • Only use required packages for bootstrap in Kiwi export.
  • Fix regression which prevented changed-config-file diffs from being shown in the HTML output.
  • Hint now mentions remote-user option.
  • Hint is printed when machinery is called without options.
  • Rename --exclude-scope option to --ignore-scope.
