hi friends,

i have seen in nitrams post that there is a checksum-test in his routine.

###
Download success: /mnt/sdb1/dCore/boot/dCore-jessie.gz.md5.txt
Download success: /mnt/sdb1/dCore/boot/dCore-jessie.gz
Reported md5sum:  9b3e05e63b67eac0d88e17627be216fa
Actual md5sum:    9b3e05e63b67eac0d88e17627be216fa
Correct any errors, confirm boot path, reboot to complete update.

that feature would be really great for the core :-)

thank you for all your contributions.

nitram:
netnomad the md5 check is already in the latest RCs.

Updated version script and /etc/sysconfig/boot_path config sent to Jason for review, hopefully will be released for testing. Now allows user to specify how many dCore*.gz and *.md5.txt backups to keep, any more are auto-purged during the update process once the new version was successfully downloaded. Default is 3 backups, change as desired. Without the updated boot_path config file the download directory will not display and you'll get the error below. Note the output now also displays the MAXBACKUPS setting.

--- Code: ---dCore*.gz download path from /etc/sysconfig/boot_path (MAXBACKUPS = 3):
Not specified, create /etc/sysconfig/boot_path entry, exiting..

--- End code ---


Then either remove boot_path from /opt/.filetool.lst and reboot to get the new config file or just cut/paste from below and re-configure:

boot_path config:

--- Code: ---# Specify download directory for  version -c  or  version -r  dCore updates. The full dCore boot
# pathway must be specified (contains the dCore-*.gz and vmlinuz-* files). The version command
# automatically backs up the old dCore-*.gz and *.md5.txt file before downloading the update.
# Specify the maximum number of backups to store below. Reboot to complete the update.

# If this file is modified, add an /opt/.filetool.lst entry to save changes:
#      etc/sysconfig/boot_path

# NO SPACES, ONLY ONE ENTRY FOR EACH OPTION
# BOOTPATH ENTRY MUST START WITH A SLASH
# BOOTPATH ENTRY MUST CONTAIN /mnt/* IF DOWNLOAD DIRECTORY IS NOT MOUNTED AFTER BOOT

# Note dCore uses the symlink 'tcedir' to point to the /tce directory. The dCore installer by default
# uses /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/boot, on the actual system this may be something like /mnt/sdb4/tce/boot.

# Use BOOTPATH=/* to specify dCore boot path directory:
#BOOTPATH=/etc/sysconfig/tcedir/boot
#BOOTPATH=/mnt/sdb4/tce/boot
BOOTPATH=/etc/sysconfig/tcedir/boot

# USE MAXBACKUPS=* to specify number of backups to keep:
#MAXBACKUPS=3
MAXBACKUPS=3

--- End code ---


Note RCs 2016.02.28.23.36 and older don't need this yet, updating to the next RC won't need it yet, updating after that will require the new boot_path config.

Sorry for the hassles, learning as i go, should have provided a better config file at the start, thanks.
