Change Details

The trailing comments in the config file contain the component version information, which is used by migration scripts. The syntax of the comments have several issues, as mentioned here: http://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/Migration_scripts#Changing_the_trailing_comment_syntax The migration script runner rewrite (T1334) put in place the mechanism for using a preferable syntax, which is natively supported by the vyos1x-config, respectively, vyatta-cfg, parsers (commit ea9bee4c9e0a12947027bb83a6bf493cdf1ed1ed in libvyosconfig, before the refactor to vyos1x-config; respectively, commit e4fe8143d9a9d86eafe04fed3cd788659b46f465 in vyatta-cfg). Current syntax: ``` /* Warning: Do not remove the following line. */ /* === vyatta-config-version: "broadcast-relay@1:cluster@1:config-management@1:conntrack@1:conntrack-sync@1:dhcp-relay@2:dhcp-server@5:dns-forwarding@2:firewall@5:interfaces@4:ipsec@5:l2tp@2:lldp@1:mdns@1:nat@4:ntp@1:pptp@1:qos@1:quagga@4:snmp@1:ssh@1:system@16:vrrp@2:vyos-accel-ppp@2:wanloadbalance@3:webgui@1:webproxy@2:zone-policy@1" === */ /* Release version: 1.3-rolling-202002121701 */ ``` New syntax: ``` // Warning: Do not remove the following line. // vyos-config-version: "broadcast-relay@1:cluster@1:config-management@1:conntrack@1:conntrack-sync@1:dhcp-relay@2:dhcp-server@5:dns-forwarding@2:firewall@5:interfaces@4:ipsec@5:l2tp@2:lldp@1:mdns@1:nat@4:ntp@1:pptp@1:qos@1:quagga@4:snmp@1:ssh@1:system@16:vrrp@2:vyos-accel-ppp@2:wanloadbalance@3:webgui@1:webproxy@2:zone-policy@1" // Release version: 1.3-rolling-202002121701 ``` Two additions will precede the switch: (1) the migration runner script will run the VirtualMigrator (which updates syntax) before Migrator; though the switch over can be set globally, this is to avoid the need for preprocessing the syntax in configtree. (2) add --reverse to the VirtualMigrator, in case we want to restore the old syntax for portability to earlier releases.
