Splitting grml-scripts into grml-scripts and grml-scripts-core
by Sebastian Boehm 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi, Recently I talked to some colleagues of mine about having a grml-scripts-core package that only contains the grml-scripts needed for grml-etc-core's screen setup. Since this idea seems to have been well received and the split has been mentioned in the minutes of the Grml Developer Meeting 2010, I thought I might as well clean up the packages I have been using for some time now and see if they can save you some work: https://github.com/sometimesfood/grml-scripts/tree/split/grml-scripts https://github.com/sometimesfood/grml-scripts/tree/split/grml-scripts-core (Obviously these should be pulled into two separate repositories, I just found the branching more comfortable until the package split is complete.) Programs I chose for inclusion in grml-scripts-core: - cpu-screen and cpu-screen.sh (used by grml-etc-core) - ip-screen (used by grml-etc-core) - lesspipe.sh (much more versatile than Debian's lesspipe(1)) - code2color (used by lesspipe.sh) - grml-screen (nice addition to grml-etc-core) I mostly tried to keep my changes to the bare minimum necessary for a proper split, if I missed something, just let me know. Things I did: - move programs - fix debian/rules, Makefiles, lintian overrides etc. - fix manpages - add package descriptions - add depends/breaks to debian/control as recommended by the Debian policy manual The resulting packages pass lintian without warnings. If you have any questions, just drop me a line and I'll be happy to help. Best regards Sebastian

[Patches] grml-crypt: if no mountpoint was given to action start, create a default one
by Thomas Köhler 05 Mär '11

05 Mär '11

Hello all, After discussing with gebi, I've just implemented the "create a default mountpoint if none was given to action start" feature in a better way than in bc3a3b852c2e7dddb0ffe3a6f9650f95b1a15593. Just forget about the previous approach and consider applying this series of patches instead :-) Bye, Thomas -- Thomas KÃ¶hler Email: jean-luc(a)picard.franken.de <>< WWW: http://gott-gehabt.de IRC: tkoehler PGP public key available from Homepage!

New patch (grml-crypt)
by Thomas Köhler 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hello all, Unfortunately, when inserting a USB disk with an encrypted partition, no mountpoint for that partition is being created. So in order to run grml-crypt's start action, you either need to create a new mountpoint manually, or you need to use something like /mnt/test. But that doesn't scale if you want to use several encrypted partitions at the same time... Attached patch allows "grml-crypt start" to be used with only the device as further command line argument, so the mountpoint can be ommitted. In that case, the mountpoint is /mnt/$DM_NAME_ (usually something like /mnt/grml-crypt_sda1). That mountpoint is being created first, then used for mounting.
