	build fix: pycurl.chroot is a dep for openwsman.chroot

2018-04-24  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'archive_log_fix'

2018-04-21  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated copyright notice in TUI source; call refreshCDKScreen() at the end of dialog action when using simple TUI instead of trying to call this in each dialog function

	added the '--enable-simple_tui' autoconf option; moved the opt_suffix variable setup into the autoconf script; TUI: in statusBar() we use prettyShrinkStr() so we can see the whole ESOS version string

2018-04-19  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added a #ifdef to enable a simplifed TUI that features a simple scroll widget with a limited number of menu item choices... works, but needs more testing

	fixed the majority of the compiler warnings; updated long line formatting

2018-04-12  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'archive_log_fix'

	Merge branch 'fix_scst_ra_block'

2018-04-11  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	some FC drivers need a LIP issued during the cluster resource transitions to keep certain initiators happy (paths visible) -- we handle this by using scstadmin to issue a LIP at the end of start(), promote(), and demote() operations

	some log files (/var/log/boot and /var/log/pacemaker.log namely) when mv'd we get disk space consumed until the file is re-opened, so instead we copy the files then truncate them to 0 bytes

2018-04-10  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Makefile.in: update esos_kernels recipe for the newest ATTO Celerity driver version; rc.nfsd: running exportfs at the end of start() may exit with a bad status, so we instead always return an exit status of 0 for that command

2018-03-26  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	rc.nfsd: use the pid of rpcbind for a valid status() value

2018-03-21  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added the function trigger_suspend_resume() to the ocf:esos:scst and ocf:esos:alua RA's which takes advantage of the 'size' vdisk_blockio attribute and rewrites the current value into this sysfs attribute which causes a global suspend/resume in SCST; instead of blocking/unblocking devices during promote/demote operations, we now use trigger_suspend_resume() after changing the ALUA state which should causes initiators to recognize the new state (we don't call this if setting the 'active' attribute since it also causes a global suspend/resume)

	Merge branch 'fc_lip_tweaks'

	Merge branch 'zfs_ra_fix'

2018-03-19  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'zfs_ra_fix' into 1.x.x

	Merge branch 'fc_lip_tweaks' into 1.x.x

2018-02-28  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	when a zfs pool is imported, the zvol's (volumes) may not be available under /dev when the command returns due to the minor operations being made asynchronous (see https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/4401); we handle this in the RA by waiting for the volumes (if any) to appear in /dev before returning

2018-02-16  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	different Fibre Channel adapters, target drivers, and initiators all vary somewhat in behavior when enabling/disabling target interfaces, RSCN events, and loading/unloading drivers -- to compensate for this, we now issue a LIP when applying the SCST configuration and at the end of a promote operation in the resource agents

2018-02-02  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'scst_ra_fix'

2018-01-24  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	ocf:esos:scst: not all initiators logout properly on stop(), so we should handle timing out internally (20 seconds) to prevent a cluster error

2018-01-16  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	rc.nut: fixed an incorrect path for the upsdrvctl binary (solves GH issue #206)

	added the kbd package to facilitate changing the keyboard mappings and console font translations

2018-01-13  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	create the '/var/lib/esos' directory via the configure script; store the random-seed file in /var/lib/esos instead of /etc

	rc.0: call conf_sync.sh instead of usb_sync.sh so we get a Git commit at the end and hide any messages (would complain about SCST being loaded)

	removed Linux 4.9.x config/patch files

	build the SCST qla2xxx module out-of-tree instead of in-tree (per SCST recommendation)

2018-01-12  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated SCST to version trunk/r7336

2018-01-11  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

2017-12-22  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	since Linux 4.12 the console blanking no longer defaults to 600 seconds so we must set this explicitly in grub.cfg

2017-12-21  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	moved several targets (namely bash.chroot and system utilities) into a separate variable which gets called after all other *.chroot targets and executes in a non-parallel mode (--jobs=1), this solves a common build failure with bash and parallel building

2017-12-20  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch '20171209_fixes' into 1.x.x

2017-12-12  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	upgrading a live ESOS host/node by writing the complete image to the boot device is an acceptable practice which wipes the esos_conf FS, so we handle this in usb_sync.sh by recreating the Git repo and USB rsync directory

	updated ZFS (spl + zfs) to version 0.7.4; several rc.nfsd tweaks/fixes

2017-12-09  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

2017-10-18  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	many of the InfiniBand related packages need the --sysconfdir and --localstatedir parameters specified with the configure script so they look in the right places (eg, config files)

	Merge branch 'sept_fixes'

	use cross-compile option for the Python package which resolves a linking issue with readline + ncursesw on some platforms; the fence_vmware_soap fencing device has a few bugs which are not available in a release yet so we fix them in ESOS with a patch

2017-09-10  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated SCST to version 3.3.x/r7232

	Merge branch 'zfs_ha_supp' into 1.x.x

2017-09-07  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	tweaked the default timeout values for the start/stop operations in ocf:esos:scst and ocf:esos:alua -- also increased the timeout values for promote/demote in both RA's as we noticed the timeout value being reached when testing with ZFS HA (specifically on a demote operation with I/O)

2017-09-05  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'openibd_delay'

	Merge branch 'openibd_delay' into 1.x.x

	for some HCA's establishing the physical link can take some time (seconds) and if OpenSM starts immediately after, it may fail to bind to the port -- to resolve this we introduce a simple delay at the end of start() in rc.openibd

	Merge branch 'tweaks_n_updates'

	Merge branch 'tweaks_n_updates' into 1.x.x

2017-09-04  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated Linux to version 4.9.47

2017-09-01  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	update irqbalance to the latest commit from master (resolves several bugs specific to this package); include the group 'input' in /etc/group (silences a warning from eudev complaining about an unknown group); comment out the "kmod load bcache" line in the udev rule file (bcache-tools) since its not needed and produces an ugly error in the logs

	Merge branch 'log_fsck_fix' into 1.x.x

	Merge branch 'log_fsck_fix'

	in rc.sysinit when growing the esos_logs file system on first boot, this ext2 file system may not be marked clean and resize2fs will fail to expand the file system size... we fix this by adding a line for e2fsck before attempting to resize the FS

2017-08-27  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'eudev_space_fix' into 1.x.x

	Merge branch 'eudev_space_fix'

2017-08-25  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added a patch for eudev that was backported from systemd which resolves an issue with whitespace characters in symbolic links created by [e]udev -- see systemd/systemd issue # 4833 and systemd/systemd pull request # 4837 for details; this issue was originally observed with some NVMe devices when using eudev 3.2.x and this fix resolves eudev issue # 148

2017-08-15  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'win_install_fixup' into 1.x.x

2017-08-02  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'win_install_fixup'

	Merge branch 'kdump_fixup'

	wait a few seconds before switching back the accessible partition for a "removable" USB flash drive media type

	switched from using ext2fsd to "Ext2 IFS" (Ext2 Installable File System For Windows) in the Windows installation script which appears to handle newer Windows operating system versions with the ext2 file system

2017-07-28  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated kexec-tools to version 2.0.15; tweaked the crashkernel parameter in grub.cfg to reserve the appropriate amount of memory (based on physical RAM size) for the kdump kernel

	Merge branch 'lvconvert_fix' into 1.x.x

2017-07-27  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'zfs_ha_supp'

	Merge branch 'lvconvert_fix'

2017-07-14  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	for the lvm2 package, we must specify the directory path for modprobe; set CONFIG_DM_CACHE_SMQ and CONFIG_DM_CACHE_CLEANER to be modules instead of built-in (at least some lvm2 utilities seem to only look for modules, like lvconvert)

2017-07-13  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	in newer versions of SCST, it seems the preferred module names have changed for some (eg, iscsi-scst vs. iscsi_scst)

2017-07-11  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added the ocf:stmf-ha:zfs resource (from https://github.com/skiselkov/stmf-ha) and tweaked a bit for ESOS; moved the ZFS pool importing stuff from rc.2 into a new rc.zfs script (enabled by default); updated the ocf:esos:scst and ocf:esos:alua resource agents to use the "set_dev_active" parameter which sets devices to active/inactive on promote/demote (used with SCST trunk)

	Merge branch 'fix_iser_mod'

	Merge branch 'fix_iser_mod' into 1.x.x

2017-06-26  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

2017-06-24  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'fedora_25_fixes'

	split loading/unloading modules and starting/stopping daemons into individual functions (load_scst_modules, unload_scst_modules, start_scst_daemons, stop_scst_daemons) which allows us to stop/unload SCST when loading the configuration fails; fixed an issue where the cluster_mode attribute was not being enabled (1) due to improper find statement; disabling iSCSI target interfaces does not close iSCSI sessions, so we use the force_close attribute after disabling the target interface in scst_stop()

	updated .gitignore to use more specific matching (/...)

2017-06-12  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated/added patches, and updated make recipies for various packages to support GCC 6 (tested on Fedora 25)

	Merge branch 'fix_atto_modprobe'

	Merge branch 'fix_scst_modprobe'

	explicitly return 0 in the helper functions of rc.scst; when unloading optional modules in rc.scst, make sure the module is actually loaded before attempting to call rmmod

	the celerity16fc module is noisy when using modprobe in rc.2 if no ATTO FC HBA's exist, so use the '-s' flag with modprobe to log to syslog

2017-04-11  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'fix_scst_modprobe'
	Conflicts:
		ChangeLog

	updated rc.scst and ocf:esos:scst to split the SCST kernel modules into two different variables (core, and optional) since some of the optional target drivers (eg, the ATTO drivers) won't load the module if no hardware exists which results in SCST not fully loading/configuring -- we fixed this by not checking the exit status when using modprobe on the optional modules, and log to syslog to keep the screen/output pretty

2017-03-04  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added the nvmtecli utility for NVMe target support and required dependencies (configshell-fb, six, pyparsing); fixed several build issues (resolves GH issue #191); enabled additional NVMe features in the kernel configuration (Fabrics, RDMA, and target support)

2017-03-02  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	fixed issue with the perccli extraction in Windows installer script; added the ledmon package

	build fix (wrong path for bash detected) in the corosync recipe; fixed broken patch for cdk-5.0-20161210; updated grub.cfg to detect if using BIOS or EFI mode and only load modules that are for each platform, and fixed unicode.pf2 font location; updated the TUI code to call setCDKEntryBackgroundAttrib() for all CDKENTRY widgets

2017-02-08  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated the openssh, cdk, busybox, libqb, openssl, stunnel, dlm, corosync, pacemaker, libarchive, eudev, coreutils, and nvme-cli packages to the latest stable versions; updated the srptools recipe to not install an init.d script; updated and tested links of propietary CLI tool locations / file names (install_common)

	updated the Makefile and fstab file to use ESOS_BOOT (uppercase) as the volume/label value as it seems when installing ESOS using Windows, the FAT32 file system gets converted to uppercase even though we created it in lowercase -- this causes problems obviously, so just keep it uppercase; in the TUI code, instead of using LABEL=esos_boot we now search for LABEL=esos_root when filtering the ESOS boot device in dialogs; in the install.sh script we also search for LABEL=esos_root now, and also updated several of the input prompts to be clearer in what input is accepted, and also make the input checks more forgiving

2017-02-07  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

2017-01-05  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	a couple more tweaks to the ocf:esos:syncro RA -- the resource agent itself does work, however, the Syncro behaves strangely with >1 VD and reserving/releasing PR's, more testing is needed...

2016-12-29  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'add_efi_boot'

	many fixes for the ocf:esos:syncro resource agent

2016-12-27  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	increased the esos_boot partition size to 400 MiB

2016-12-25  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	initial update to support for EFI booting (and still support legacy BIOS booting): added the freetype package for GRUB; use the mkfs binary instead of individual mkfs.xxx commands so we can control the type with a parameter; tweaked the disk label and file system so the first partition (esos_boot) is a FAT32 FS and is type 0xEF (EFI); added a second grub-install line in the image target for adding the EFI stuff; updated the grub target to enable grub-mkfont and configure/build a second time for EFI; tweaked the kernel config for EFI booting; updates to grub.cfg

2016-12-03  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added a call to setlocale() in main() and use NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1 in the environment, which when combined, fixes the line character issue with PuTTY

2016-12-01  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated getBlockDevChoice() in the TUI to handle NVMe block devices

2016-11-29  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated mdadm to the latest GH master commit; added the nvme-cli package

2016-11-08  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	tweaked a couple variable lines in the Makefile; added a sed-patch for ocf:lvm2:VolumeGroup so OCF_ERR_GENERIC is not returned when attempting a probe operation (eg, before clvmd is started)

2016-11-05  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated the tzdata target to include the "factory" timezone data files; more bug fixes in the ESOS 'scst' and 'alua' resource agents; bug fix in the TUI's dateTimeDialog() function

2016-11-04  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added the tzdata package for time zone information (not part of glibc anymore); renamed the btier OCF RA (location); include the dd utility from the coreutils package since Busybox's dd doesn't work for the 'Raid1' RA and disable Busybox dd; fixed an issue in the ESOS SCST RA with detecting dlm_controld; added a patch for the Raid1 RA so it works correctly with the udev-provided MD array sym link

2016-11-02  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated the linux_firmware package to the latest available; added the docutils package (new dependency of python-daemon); more build fixes; we now include all of /lib/firmware in the initramfs image so dependent inline drivers work correctly (eg, bnx2); implemented flock for Python module targets to hopefully avoid build issues when using parallel make (eg, keep easy-install.pth from getting clobbered)

2016-10-31  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

2016-10-27  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	re-enabled the ib_qib driver; removed un-needed ib_srpt module option in modprobe.conf

	updated Linux to 4.9.0-rc2; updated the ZFS, SPL, and SCST packages to support the new Linux version; more build fixes from the recent round of package updates

2016-10-24  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	more build dependency issues discovered, and fixed when using parallel make

2016-10-23  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated just about every package that had a new version released; lots of build fixes/changes to go along with the new package versions; added the AUTHORS file to acknowledge the ESOS authors; added new packages libffi, ptyprocess, requests, openwsman, swig, and userspace-rcu, which are dependencies for the updated packages; misc documentation fixes in the root source directory; added the esos_host and esos_target variables so we can start enabling a cross-compiler configuration for packages

2016-10-18  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added the pkg_update.sh script to assist ESOS developers in updating packages

2016-10-15  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

2016-10-06  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	fixed /etc/crontab fsck job so instead of relying on stderr, we check the exit status and echo output based on that result; tweaked the VolumeGroup RA (from LVM2) so it checks the "VG Status" line instead of any line matching Status/available

2016-09-27  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	several fixes for the ocf:esos:alua RA

2016-09-15  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	build fix for pacemaker (xsltproc/docbook issue)

2016-09-12  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added a patch for Linux 4.5.2 that allows md-cluster to function when built-in instead of a module

2016-09-02  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated the ocf:esos:scst and ocf:esos:alua resource agents to handle blocking/unlocking SCST devices during the promote/demote actions (per SCST's README recommendation); additionally, added an option to both RA's for the "transitioning" ALUA state (disabled by default); other minor RA tweaks; updated a dialog string in networkDialog() for better clarification

2016-08-28  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added a new cluster RA for managing Avago/LSI Syncro VD ownership... the RA from 'https://github.com/FZachlod/scst_ocf_ra/blob/master/usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/onesty/syncrovd' was used as inspiration for the ESOS variant (thanks Felix) -- our RA differs in that you can simply supply the name of a SCST device group, and the RA will parse all devices in the group and will attempt VD ownership using a SCSI PR; this new Syncro RA is completely untested, it will likely not work without testing on real hardware, and even then it may have unintended consequences due to the SCSI PR (eg, write issues)

2016-08-17  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	more tweaks... renamed the RA to just "alua" and set it so initial state is just Slave's ALUA state

	initial start of new 'aluastates' RA which only handles setting SCST's ALUA states

2016-08-15  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated the SCST RA to only perform the enable-cluster-mode and disable-cluster-mode operations if dlm_controld is running

2016-08-12  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated SCST to 3.1.x/r6933

	tweaked rc.clvmd and its default options; updated the ESOS SCST RA to handle the proper startup/shutdown sequence for PR sync via DLM (per SCST's README.dlm); fixed several issues with the SCST RA as well

2016-08-03  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	don't probe for LV partitions in rc.lvm2 -- a partition on these isn't really needed as magic strings can still be found use wipefs; in usb_sync.sh we should ignore sync'ing /etc/esos-release so we don't clobber the version file on upgrades

2016-07-27  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added the ceph-rbdnamer script (supports rbd udev rules) and rbd udev rules; several fixes for rc.rbdmap (thanks Frederic); fixed Python ncursesw (curses module) issue from a previous patch; updated default grub.cfg to not include "console=ttyS0" as this may have caused problems with the kernel debugger (keyboard), and doesn't really fit in all situations -- users can specify the console parameter themselves if needed since the grub.cfg now persists between updates; updated getBlockDevChoice() to accept /dev/rbd* devices (untested)

2016-07-26  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	removed the ceph package and direct dependencies (keyutils and leveldb) -- we now use the RBD mapping functionality directly from the kernel, so there is no need for the user-space programs; tweaks to rc.network to support VLANs on top of bonding interfaces; updated rc.rbdmap to use the kernel interface instead of the rbd binary (need testing)

	updated the archivemount and libarchive packages to the latest versions; added ncurses as a dependency for the Python target (crmsh utilizes the curses module)

2016-07-24  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	enabled several kernel config options for PCIe NTB support, including the virtual Ethernet driver

2016-07-23  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	build fix for mdadm which uses static local paths to detect Corosync and DLM

2016-07-21  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	enabled the CONFIG_VSOCKETS kernel option to support VMCI for vmtoolsd

	added a patch for open-vm-tools so ESOS is recognized as an OS and /etc/esos-release is used like other distros; added an rc script for VMware Tools (rc.vmtoolsd)

	added the open-vm-tools package and required dep libdnet... still needs testing and an rc script

2016-07-08  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated TOOL_URL_hpacucli for the new HP domain (hpe.com)

2016-07-02  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	enabled the CONFIG_ISCSI_TCP kernel option (for iSCSI initiator); fixed mismatched element from new theme setup

	fixed a build dep issue for the open-iscsi package; added the coreutils package, but not all of it -- namely just "df" for right now as the Busybox variety is not fully compatible with the standard coreutils binary (resolves issue # 162); removed the df utility from Busybox

2016-07-01  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added the stubs for new dialogs and uncommented dialog menu actions in main()

	added a simple signal handler in the TUI for INT, TERM, and HUP

2016-06-29  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added the iSCSI initiator service (open-iscsi + open-isns) which allows an ESOS host to use remote iSCSI storage (targets)

2016-06-28  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	lots of TUI code cleanup, file header documentation, and function documentation

2016-06-26  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'dswartz-issue-182'

	Merge branch 'issue-182' of https://github.com/dswartz/esos into dswartz-issue-182

	tweaked the health-check script to use more meaningful names/values in the memory and disk usage sections (satisfies issue # 181)

2016-06-26  Dan Swartzendruber  <dswartz@druber.com>

	Change check_zpools.sh to diagnose not running as root - this is necessary if nrpe is run as other than root (which is what is recommended.)

2016-06-25  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added the useful list-pcie-ports.sh script (from Dell @ http://linux.dell.com/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/sys-admin-tools.git/plain/list-pcie-ports.sh)

2016-06-22  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	up'd SCST to version 3.1.x/r6895 which at least fixes an issue with megaraid_sas hanging when deleting VD's

2016-05-29  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	fixed TUI bug in checkInetAccess() (should resolve issue # 177)

2016-05-27  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated spl/zfs to version 0.6.5.7 (supports recent Linux kernel versions, among other things)

	added the prettyShrinkStr() to shorten long strings as elegantly as possible, which should resolve complains about strings being truncated and indistinguishable; used prettyShrinkStr() on several problem dialogs that have been a pain; fixed a couple memory leaks in the TUI caught with valgrind

	added new RA scripts -> ocf:onesty:scst_aluadg, ocf:onesty:scst_qla2xtgt (thanks Felix); revamped the support-package function to capture more data and now supports being run from the shell (solves issue #111)

2016-05-26  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	initial import of the new 'hw_raid_cli.py' script which provides a common syntax to hardware RAID controllers... as of right now, MegaRAID and AACRAID adapters are supported by it, and more to come in the future

2016-05-10  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'update_libxml2'

	updated zlib to version 1.2.8; updated libxml2 to version 2.9.3; added missing dep (zlib) to libxml2 target; added '--with-threads' to ensure libxml2 is built with thread support

2016-05-09  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	updated file names for MegaCLI and StorCLI

2016-05-08  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'add_munin'

	apparently "munin-plugins-c listplugins" doesn't actually return all supported plugins, so we also manually create a symlink for the "memory" plugin

2016-05-07  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added the rc.munin script and updated rc.conf and rc.d/common to support the new rc script; enabled munin-c plugin symlinks in /etc/munin/plugins/

2016-05-05  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	added support for strace as an optional build package (--enable-strace)

2016-05-03  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	initial round of build changes to switch from ncurses -> ncursesw (--enable-widec)

2016-05-01  Marc A. Smith  <marc.smith@parodyne.com>

	Merge branch 'tui_enhancements'

	tweaked /etc/issue to make the characters align; added a call to 'clear' at the end of rc.2; updated rc.perfagent to support a "status" action like the other rc scripts

	modified the rc subsystem to support user options for rc scripts/daemons using /etc/rc.conf (satisfies issue #152) -- the system works by having an optional key/value pair in /etc/rc.conf... each rc script that supports this has an internal default options set in case the value doesn't exist in /etc/rc.conf, and the user can override/change the default by modifying the "rc.NAME_opts" variable in /etc/rc.conf; other cleanup of some rc scripts

2015-10-10  Marc A. Smith  <marc@astersmith.com>

2013-10-15  Marc A. Smith  <msmith626@gmail.com>

	set pacemaker and corosync to disabled in rc.conf (new default); added new dm-cache rc script and now dm-cache devices can be persistent via dm-cache.start and dm-cache.stop files (see wiki documentation)

2013-10-11  Marc A. Smith  <msmith626@gmail.com>

	created a patch for eio_cli so it doesn't need udev and lots of cleanup, still needs more love... someone owes me a beer for that one; new rc script for EnhanceIO (uses INI file created by new eio_cli); removed EIO stuff from rc.2 (now in its own rc script); for mdev setup, use register_quiet with bcache

	implemented lsscsi and sg3_utils packages

	MegaCli64 needs libsysfs.so.2.0.2 even though ldd doesn't report its required -- it also seems to only look in an absolute, static path for it; MegaCLI target now provides the library that comes with the package

2012-02-04  Marc A. Smith  <msmith626@gmail.com>

	added -u flag for cpio in the install target (ld.so.conf wasn't being installed due to existing empty ld.so.conf); added a touch for /var/log/wtmp and lastlog in rc init script

2012-01-29  Marc A. Smith  <msmith626@gmail.com>
