- Implement a new style configuring autorun scripts ("autorun.exec"), more suited to a YAML config file than the old style (#287)
- The old style autorun scripts are still fully supported, they are loaded into keys from "1000-autorun" to "1026-autorunF"
- change the default for ar_nowait to true
- add "shell" option for new autorun exec scripts: let bash interpret the command instead of directly forking it from python
- allow to wait for keypress with a countdown timer, all keys are accepted now (instead of just enter as in the past)
- fix is_elf_binary
- improve output and logging (#253)
- use curl instead of wget for downloading scripts from URLs
- bind-mount /run/archios/bootmnt in case of copytoram to create a stable path for the new-style scripts
- deprecate storing autorun scripts in the root of the boot disk (#252)
- don't check /var/autorun/cdrom for autorun scripts anymore, it was not documented and there are more than enough better alternatives
When the lua script parses the YAML config, it converts a `1` to `1.0` because in
lua all numbers are floats. So it writes out `1.0`, which is then loaded by the
python scripts later. Make the type conversion for booleans aware of this.
This allows to write something like `ar_disable: 1` in the YAML and have it
acted upon as expected.
The recently implemented type casting code doesn't work intuitively for
booleans: for example it treats a string "0" as False and doesn't show
an error message for it. So the user might be unaware of this.
So add a dedicated conversion function for booleans.
Also add checks for conversions from dicts and lists, forbid to cast them
to strings because that is most probably not what the user wants.
Until now sysrescue-configuration.lua always ensured the default values were
in the effective JSON config because there was no way to remove them. Now the
lua script is improved to allow full config merging, including a delete function.
This could lead to the user accidently removing a value. The scripts did not
expect this and accessed non existing keys, leading to an exception.
This is fixed with this commit.
