The integration of the changeset below represents a flag day
for Distribution Constructor users building Sparc images.
Distribution Constructor has been enhanced with possibility to control
compression
mechanism for Sparc boot archive. Compression could be either turned on
or off.
As a result, Sparc manifests (ai_sparc_image.xml and text_mode_sparc.xml)
have been modified. Related section of new DC manifests now looks like:
<boot_archive>
<!--
If/how to compress the boot archive. Valid
types are dcfs or none.
-->
<compression type="dcfs"/>
[...]
</boot_archive>
The compression is turned on by default.
Impact:
Distribution Constructor changes are not backward compatible with old DC
manifests.
Action:
Use new version of DC manifests or modify your existing manifests to
specify valid
boot archive compression type. Use 'dcfs' for standard Sparc images.
Support for
'none' is experimental and not recommended for production use.
