An update that has four fixes can now be installed.
Description:
This update provides KIWI v5.05.93, which brings fixes and enhancements:
-
Don't strip curl alternative binaries from initrd: The last update of curl in SLE11 introduced /usr/bin/curl as a symbolic link. The real binary is /usr/bin/curl.openssl0 or /usr/bin/curl.openssl1. This needs to be taken into account when striping down the initrd by kiwi. (bsc#1004654)
-
Add missing failsafe entry to elilo.conf: For SLE11 EFI support the elilo wrapper is used, in order to allow elilo to create a grub.cfg with a failsafe entry the elilo template config must provide an image section for it. (bsc#993792)
-
bootImage: Don't copy initial ram disk content to /run/initramfs: We should avoid copying the initial ram disk content to a tmpfs filesystem, especially on low memory systems. (bsc#963276)
-
Prefer switch_root over pivot_root. (bsc#963276)
-
Fixed partition table label for ec2 images: If firmware="ec2" is requested kiwi implicitly set the partition table label to GPT. This leads to a failing boot in EC2.
-
Prefer packages by priority of repositories, not by architectures. (bsc#926651)
