[umlbuilder-devel] List of Bugs

[Jonathan R. <fre...@ul...>]

Hi Roger,

Here's a list of bugs and enhancement requests for you to fix that
were observed when running 1.4.0-5.

Bugs
----

0. (already reported this one) For umlbuilder 1.4.0-5 python 2.2
   requires that line 945 of gui.py has colum written as column.

        b.grid(row=2,colum=1, sticky=E)

		should be ..

        b.grid(row=2,column=1, sticky=E)

  Otherwise, the gui won't work.

1.  umlbuilder_gui is failing with this error:

    turbo indexer not available, falling back on traditional indexer
    Segmentation fault

However, the the cli version of umlbuilder doesn't fail with this
exception and proceeds to make the rootfs.  On my system it is falling
back to the traditonal indexer and causing this exception when the gui
is used.

2.  Although the rootfs was created, the initrd wasn't because the
    miniroot failed with this error:

Creating new initial ramdisk
Miniroot starting
mount: Mounting /proc on /proc failed: Bad address
mount: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
mount: Mounting /dev on /dev failed: Bad address
grep: /proc/cmdline: No such file or directory
Miniroot exiting - exit status 1
System halted.

3.  When changing useinitrd="true" to useinitrd="false" in control,
    start still failed with this error:

Updating modules
Miniroot starting
mount: Mounting /proc on /proc failed: Bad address
mount: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
mount: Mounting /dev on /dev failed: Bad address
grep: /proc/cmdline: No such file or directory
Miniroot exiting - exit status 1
System halted.

Obviously, the miniroot provided in this release needs some fixing.

Enhancement Requests
--------------------

1.  Add a --module-dir <dir> option and synonymous functionality to the gui
    which allows the user to choose an optional location to look for
    modules*tar.  Don't proceed until modules* are actually found,
    otherwise the whole process has to be done all over.

2.  Add a --uml-kernel <path> option and synonymous functionality to the
    gui which allows the user to choose an optional uml kernel


Thanks,


Jonathan
