+Checklists for Pull Requests and Releases
+=========================================
+
+Maintainer checklists for reviewing pull requests and doing releases.
+
+
+Pull Requests
+-------------
+
+ - If applicable, is there a readable ChangeLog entry?
+ - If any LICENSE file has been updated, has the `.hash` file been updated?
+ - If any change to a Finit `.svc` file, does any run/task linger?  
+   I.e., is there a runlevel and/or condition defined to prevent them
+   from running outside of their intended runlevel?
+ - If any change to grub or qemu/qeneth setup, has it been tested in GNS3?
+   - If any change to u-boot/buildroot, has it been tested with `<booloader>_defconfig`
+ - If any change to logging, have the resulting logs been audited?
+   - Check for duplicate entries, misspellings
+   - Check for sneaky severity changes, e.g., error vs note, error vs warning
+ - If new subsystem, or major changes to a subsystem, have the docs been updated?
+ - If change to mDNS, has it been tested with netbrowse?
+ - If change to `_defconfig`, verify `local.mk` and sync with other archs
+   - Test manually as well, e.g., CLI changes do not have ha regression tests
+   - Build from distclean, or use artifacts built by build servers, for manual tests
+
+
+Releases
+--------
+
+ - Make at least one -betaN release to verify the GitHub workflow well in time release day
+   - Stuff happens, remember kernelkit/infix#735
+ - Make at least one -rcN to flush out any issues in customer repos
+   - Easy to forget adaptations/hacks in customer repos -- may need Infix change/support
+ - Ensure the markdown link for the release diff is updated
+ - Ensure subrepos are tagged (can be automated, see kernelkit/infix#393)
+ - Sync tags for all repo. sync activities

+
+[v24.11.1][] - 2024-11-29
+-------------------------
+
+### Changes
+
+ - Upgrade Frr to 9.1.2, fixes an OSPF issue where *Zebra* lost netlink
+   messages and drifted out of sync with the kernel's view of addresses
+   and interfaces available in the system
+ - Allow setting IP address directly on VLAN filtering bridges.  This
+   only works when the bridge is an untagged member of a (single) VLAN.
+ - cli: usability -- showing log files now automatically jump to the end
+   of the file, where the latest events are
+ - cli: usability -- showing container status, or other status that
+   overflows the terminal horizontally, now wrap the lines and exit the
+   pager immediately if the contents fit on the first screen
+ - The default log level of the mDNS responder, `avahi-daemon`, has been
+   adjusted to make it less verbose.  Now only `LOG_NOTICE` and higher
+   severity is logged -- making it very quiet
+
+### Fixes
+
+ - Fix #685: DSA conduit interface not always detected.  Previous
+   attempt at a fix (v24.10.2) mitigated the issue, but did not
+   completely solve it.
+ - Fix #835: redesign how the system creates/deletes containers from the
+   `running-config`.  Prior to this change, all removal and creation was
+   handled by a separate queue that ran asynchronously from the `confd`
+   process.  This could lead to situations where new configurations are
+   applied before the queue had been fully processed.  After this change
+   containers are deleted synchronously and new containers are created
+   in the same flow as during normal runtime operation (start/upgrade)
+ - Fix start of containers with `manual=True` option should now work
+   again, regression in v24.11.0
+ - Fix loss of writable volumes when temporarily disabling a container
+   in the configuration, now the container remains dormant with all its
+   volumes still available
+ - Fix presentation bug in CLI `show interfaces` where all line-drawing
+   characters showed up as hexadecimal values.  Regression in v24.11.0
+ - Fix missing log messages from Frr Zebra daemon
+ - Stop the zeroconf (IPv4LL) agent, `avahi-autoipd`, when removing an
+   interface, e.g., `br0`
+ - Creating more than one container trigger restarts of previously set
+   up containers.  Which in some cases may cause these earlier ones to
+   end up in an inconsistent state
+ - Prevent traffic assigned to locally terminated VLANs from being
+   forwarded, when the underlying ports are simultaneously attached to
+   a VLAN filtering bridge.
+
+
+[v24.11.0][] - 2024-11-20
+-------------------------
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> This release contains breaking changes for container users!  As of
+> v24.11.0, all persistent[^1] containers always run in `read-only` mode
+> and the setting itself is deprecated (kept only for compatibility
+> reasons).  The main reason for this change is to better serve users
+> with embedded container images in their builds of Infix.  I.e., they
+> can now upgrade the OCI image in their build and rely on the container
+> being automatically upgraded when Infix is upgraded, issue #823.  For
+> other users, the benefit is that *all* container configuration changes
+> take when activated, issue #822, without having to perform any tricks.
+
+### Changes
+
+ - Add validation of interface name lengths, (1..15), Linux limit
+ - Add support for ftp/http/https URI:s in container image, with a new
+   `checksum` setting for MD5/SHA256/SHA512 verification, issue #801
+ - Add a retry timer to the background container create service.  This
+   will ensure failing `docker pull` operations from remote images are
+   retrying after 60 seconds, or quicker
+ - CLI base component, `klish`, has been updated with better support for
+   raw terminal mode and alternate quotes (' in addition to ")
+ - Log silenced from container activation messages, only the very bare
+   necessities are now logged, e.g., `podman create` command + status
+ - Factory reset no longer calls `shred` to "securely erase" any files
+   from writable data partitions.  This will speed up the next boot
+   considerably
+
+### Fixes
+
+ - Fix #659: paged output in CLI accessed via console port sometimes
+   causes lost lines, e.g. missing interfaces.  With updated `klish`
+   and the terminal in raw mode, the pager (less) can now control both
+   the horizontal and vertical
+ - Fix #822: adding, or changing, an environment variable to a running
+   container does not take without the `container upgrade NAME` trick
+ - Fix #823: with an OCI image embedded in the Infix image, an existing
+   container in the configuration is not upgraded to the new OCI image
+   with the Infix upgrade.
+ - Frr leaves log files in `/var/tmp/frr` on unclean shutdowns.  This
+   has now been fixed with a "tmpfiles" cleanup of that path at boot
+
+[^1]: I.e., set up in the configuration, as opposed to temporary ones
+    started with `container run` from the CLI admin-exec context.

+
+[v24.10.2][] - 2024-11-08
+-------------------------
+
+### Changes
+
+- Support for showing interfaces owned by running containers in the CLI
+  command `show interfaces`.  This also adds support for showing the
+  peer interface of VETH pairs.  Issue #626
+- Reboot system on kernel "oops", on "oops" the kernel now panics and
+  reboots after 20 seconds.  Issue #740
+- Update static factory-config for NanoPi R2S: enable NACM, securing all

+- Updated QoS documentation with pictures and more information on VLAN
+  interface ingress/egress priority handling, issue #759
+- Disable RTC device in Styx device tree, issue #794
+- Support for saving and restoring system clock from a disk file.  This
+  allows restoring the system clock to a sane date in case the RTC is
+  disabled or does not have a valid time, issue #794
+- Update device discovery chapter with information on `infix.local` mDNS
+  alias, `netbrowse` support to discover *all* local units, and command
+  examples for disabling LLDP and mDNS services, issue #786
+- Updated OSPF documentation to include information on *global OSPF
+  settings* (`redistribution`, `explicit-router-id`, etc.), issue #812
+- Added information on *forwarding of IEEE reserved group addresses*
+  to bridge section of networking documentation, issue #788
+- Add support for bootstrap conditions and early init product overrides
+- Styx: enable second Ethernet port LED in device tree, again, rename
+  it: yellow -> aux, and make sure it is turned off at boot
+- Styx: disable second port LED for the 4xSFP slots, does not work
+- Styx: override iitod (LED daemon) with a product specific LED script
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Fix #685: DSA conduit interface not always detected, randomly causing
+  major issues configuring systems with multiple switch cores
+- Fix #778: reactivate OpenSSL backend for libssh/libssh2 for NanoPI R2S.
+  This fixes a regression in v24.10.0 causing loss of NETCONF support
+- Fix #809: enable syslog logging for RAUC
+- Fix harmless bootstrap log error message on systems without USB ports:
+  `jq: error (at <stdin>:0): Cannot iterate over null (null)`
+- Change confusing `tc` log error message: `Error: does not support
+  hardware offload` to `Skipping $iface, hardware offload not supported.`
+

+### Changes
+

+   "ifAlias".  Saved as an Linux interface alias (not `altname`), e.g.,
+   `/sys/class/interfaces/veth0a/ifalias`, includes operational support
+
+### Fixes

+ - Fix #735: `copy` and `erase` commands missing from CLI, regression
+   in Infix v24.10.0 defconfigs, now added as dep. in klish package

+Container Requirements
+----------------------
+
+In addition to general [*best practices*][7] for container images, there
+are a few more things to consider when targeting embedded systems:
+
+ - Ensure the image targets the CPU architecture of the target system,  
+   learn more about [Multi-platform Builds][8]
+ - Follow [best practices for naming and tagging][10], e.g., `:latest` vs `:1.0`
+ - Follow [OCI recommendations and layout][9],  
+   learn more about [OCI and Docker Exporters][6]
+
+If the [Docker documentation][11] is not enough, there are plenty of
+[guides online][12] with examples on how to create your own container
+image.  For the more advanced, please see the next section.
+
+
+### Advanced Users
+
+Most people prefer their system containers small, often based on Alpine
+Linux, or similar, with only a few small applications, including their
+own, and an SSH server perhaps.  For some developers, even this is too
+big, so they roll their own from source.  This section is for you.
+
+Depending on your needs, here is a checklist:
+
+ - you need something that can forward signals, e.g.,
+   - [tini][]
+   - [Bash only][13], or
+   - BusyBox init, a classic most embedded developers know, but read on ...
+ - a system container only need the bare necessities of a system bringup
+   - E.g., BusyBox's init, [but not everything][15]
+   - Some of the networking is set up by Podman and CNI for you, but
+     you may want to run a DHCP client?
+   - Do *not* rename interfaces inside the container, use the dedicated
+     `interface_name` option in the configuration instead
+   - Remember, Podman provides a `tmpfs` for all critical system paths:
+     `/dev`, `/dev/shm`, `/run`, `/tmp`, and `/var/tmp`, so you don't
+     need to clean or set up any of these mount points
+
+Examples using `tini` and BusyBox init are available from the KernelKit
+[curiOS project][14].  It is a small Buildroot based container image
+builder that generates OCI compatible image tarballs without any tools
+from Docker or Podman -- ready-made images exist for testing on both
+AMD64 and ARM64 targets, as well as `docker pull` images and and OCI
+tarballs with SHA256 checksums for integrity checking.
+
+Finally, if you build your own version of Infix, and embed OCI tarballs
+in the system image, then see the tip at the end of [Upgrading a
+Container Image](#upgrading-a-container-image) (above).

+#### Netbrowse service to find all your devices

+

+else
+	echo "Failed to retrieve value for $xpath"

+## NTP Client Configuration
+
+Below is an example configuration for enabling NTP

+admin@host:/config/> set system ntp server ntp-pool iburst
+admin@host:/config/> set system ntp server ntp-pool prefer
+```
+
+This configuration enables the NTP client and sets the NTP server to 
+`pool.ntp.org` with the `iburst` and `prefer` options. The `iburst` 
+option ensures faster initial synchronization, and the `prefer` option 
+designates this server as preferred.
+
+* `prefer false`: The NTP client will choose the best available source
+based on several factors, such as network delay, stratum, and other 
+metrics (default config).
+* `prefer true`: The NTP client will try to use the preferred server 
+as the primary source unless it becomes unreachable or unusable.
+
+### Show NTP Status
+
+To check the status of NTP synchronization, use the following command:
+
+```
+admin@host:/> show ntp

+Subject: [PATCH 4/7] Fix #418: support systems with a broken RTC
+Organization: Addiva Elektronik
+
+This patch introduces a new configure option --with-rtc-file=FILE.  When
+enabled the RTC plugin detects missing RTC device and falls back to save
+and restore system time from a file instead.  When --with-rtc-file is
+used without an argument the default file is /var/lib/misc/rtc, but the
+feature itself is disabled by default.
+
+The usefulness of this feature may not be obvious at first, but some
+systems are equipped with an RTC that resets to a random date at power
+on.  This can be really bad in the case the date is far in the future,
+because an NTP sync would then cause time skips backwards, which shows
+up in logs and causes a whole lot of pain in alarm systems.
+
+The solution is to disable the RTC driver or device tree node, and when
+Finit starts up, the RTC plugin detects a the device node and instead
+restores time from the last save game.  Meaning time will always only
+move forwards.
+
+NOTE: when Finit is built --with-rtc-file we always save to disk, but
+      only restore from the "save game" if restoring from RTC fails.
+      If the system has no RTC we always restore from disk.
+
+      As an added bonus, this change also makes sure to periodically
+      sync also the RTC with the system clock.  Useful for systems
+      that do not run an NTP client.

+Organization: Addiva Elektronik
+
+In 42ef3d3c, for v4.4-rc1, support for setting a custom RTC restore date
+was introduced.  Unfortunately the configure script was wrong and caused
+config.h to contain
+
+    #define RTC_TIMESTAMP_CUSTOM "$rtc_date"
+
+instead of
+
+    #define RTC_TIMESTAMP_CUSTOM "2023-04-10 14:35:42"
+
+Furthermore, the error handling for strptime() was wrong, so the restore
+date was always reverted to the default.
+
+This patch fixes both issues and extends the DATE of --with-rtc-date to
+also include seconds.

+This change is a follow-up to 340cae4, where kernel logs of LOG_ERR and
+higher are allowed to log directly to the console.  Since syslogd has
+not been started before these plugins, the log messages would otherwise
+leak to the console.

+Subject: [PATCH 7/7] Fix unintended restart of template siblings
+Organization: Addiva Elektronik
+
+Consider the case where container@.conf is an available template.  When
+creating a container@foo.conf it will share the same base .conf as an
+existing container@bar.conf, but we do not expect to restart bar just
+because foo is instantiated.
+
+Up until this change, all template siblings were considered "dirty" if a
+new one was created or updated.  Skipping realpath() for all files that
+have a '@' works around the problem.
