Helper scripts
FAI-Tools
Jan Jansen sent me an interesting tool that should help with management of the FAI configdir get the file
his mail:
Hi, As long as there were no responses to this posting, i don't dealed with this idea (GPL) but if some user would find it usefull that would be also nice for me because i don't have that much time anymore now to fix all known (and probably unknown) bugs alone. A problem could also be the currently, only with shell-options available, documentation. So i post some hints here: - if a file doc/<class> exists in your fairep, it will be shown as class-description in info mode - new script styles ([0-9][0-9]-*) can cause little errors - some extravagant string values can cause qouting errors (shell problem) - create mode not fully funtional Installation: Unzip the archive to a directory and adjust the lib and tmp paths in file 'ftool' to the right place. Now the script should be funtional. Keep attention to test it the first times with a copy of your repository to not destroy your classes/files in case of missusing or unexpected errors (which hopefully aren't that much).

FAI development and testing helpers
I created some scripts that help setting up a FAI developemnt environment, and running builds and tests in there. At the moment it's mostly about creating fai-cd's and testing them in a qemu vm. Eventually I will add functions for network installation testing with a real hardware host and a qemu client, as well as testing network install with a qemu hist and a qemu client. I am quite interested if someboy finds them useful, they are in subversion:

fast fai-cd creation script
when developing a new fai-cd it can happen that you need to create new fai-cd's very often. It gets annoying that you always need to delete fai-mirror and the old image... unless you use a script like this (change your tmp path for image and mirror):
#!/bin/sh FAI_MIRROR_LOCATION=/data/produktion/tmp/fai-mirror DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d_%h-%M-%S` if [ -z $1 ];then CDIMAGE=/data/produktion/tmp/fai-cd_${DATE}.iso echo "using default cdimage location $CDIMAGE" else CDIMAGE=$1 fi if [ -z $FAI_MIRROR_LOCATION ]; then echo "error - FAI_MIRROR_LOCATION is empty - exiting" exit 1 else echo "cleaning up fai-mirror at $FAI_MIRROR_LOCATION" rm -r $FAI_MIRROR_LOCATION fi mkdir -p $FAI_MIRROR_LOCATION fai-mirror -a $FAI_MIRROR_LOCATION CDIMAGE_BACKUP=${CDIMAGE}_bak_date +%Y-%m-%d_%h-%M-%S if [ -f $CDIMAGE ];then echo "moving old cd image to $CDIMAGE_BACKUP" fi fai-cd -m $FAI_MIRROR_LOCATION $CDIMAGE

turn kernel bootprompt parameters into classes
Every kernel parameter after the -- separator is changed to uppercase and used as a classname.
class/35-bootprompt :
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $separator = '--'; my $seen; foreach ( split /\s+/, `cat /proc/cmdline` ) { if ( $_ eq $separator ) { $seen = 1; next; } next unless $seen; print uc $_, "\n" if m/^\w+$/; }
