grml2usb was aborted when using --bootloader-only --skip-grub-config

correct scope for these variables. Thanks to Daniel Tiefnig for

[ Michael Prokop ]
* grml2usb-compat: drop duplicated boot=live bootoptions.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no further changes).

Augsburger and mika for the bug report.
grml2usb (0.9.17) unstable; urgency=low
[ Michael Prokop ]
* Depend on rsync (thanks for the bugreport, Andras Korn).
[ Ulrich Dangel ]

* Copy gpxe.lkrn from addons.
* Modified grml2usb to be able to run on a generated grml2usb iso/directory.
grml2usb (0.9.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Support new addon menu file layout from grml-live.
grml2usb (0.9.14) unstable; urgency=low

default boot entries.

directory to the generated iso image.
* Added -b option to grml2iso for specifying additional default
boot entries.
[ Michael Prokop ]

installation as well as use for developers and users.
* Drop unnecessary header line from grml2usb script.
grml2usb (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
[ Ulrich Dangel ]
* Modified syslinux configuration handling to generate new vesa
menu entries.
* Support adding additional isos to existing grml2usb installation.
* grml2iso supports new grml2usb using syslinux now.
[ Michael Prokop ]
* Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
Stefan Traby <email address hidden> for the hint).
* Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
- Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
- Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
correct grml.png is used.
- Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
* Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
* Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
his future[tm] work.
* Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
initrd are not present.
* Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
question of mtools by syslinux.
* Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
* Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.
grml2usb (0.9.12) unstable; urgency=low
* Replace 'logging.*("%s" % foo)' with 'logging.*("%s", foo)'
so the logging works with python2.6 as well.
grml2usb (0.9.11) unstable; urgency=low
* Improve handling the 'No space left on device' situation through
using an according rsync handler function.
grml2usb (0.9.10) unstable; urgency=low
* Support the directory where the grml2usb script resides as base
directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed.
Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <email address hidden>!
* Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.
Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <email address hidden>!
* Use 'pci=nomsi' in failsafe bootoption. Thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt.
* Mention the --syslinux option if grub-install fails.
* Fix usage of --force in combination with --fat16. Thanks to
Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.
* Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'.
* New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.
grml2usb (0.9.9) unstable; urgency=low
* Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
* Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
* Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
* Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
* Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
* Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
* Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
pens don't need that option).
* Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
as default).
* Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes).
* Fix creation and installation of grub1's configuration file (menu.lst).
Thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe.
grml2usb (0.9.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Support installation on /dev/loop*-devices.
* Generate configuration for syslinux and grub by default, no
matter which bootloader the users chooses.
* Added options --skip-syslinux-config and --skip-grub-config
if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
configuration files.
* Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
* Display information about default grml flavour and the other
available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
* Use /sbin/blkid (e2fsprogs) instead of vol_id as vol_id is going to be
removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
* Use rsync instead of cp. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
[Closes: issue683]
* Use 'forensic' and 'readonly' in the forensic bootoption itself.
* Spelling fixes (thanks to Thorsten Glaser <email address hidden>).
* Write GRUB2 config even if the target is a directory (thanks, Thorsten)
* All these "set root=" are not needed for GRUB2 (thanks, Thorsten)
* Switch order of check whether the specified device is a directory
and check for usb device (as the usb device check will fail if
it's a directory).
* Add grml2iso for creating a bootable DVD:
- thanks once more to Thorsten Glaser for helping and patches
- thanks to Ernesto Domato for reporting the issue regarding
i386<->amd64 with grub-mkimage

* Depend on debhelper >=5 (using compat version 5).
grml2usb (0.9.7) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix typo in manpage of grml2usb (thanks to Wernfried Haas).
* Fix bootoption toram: it should be toram=$FLAVOUR.squashfs instead
of toram=$FLAVOUR. Thanks to Wernfried Haas and Frank Prochnow
for the bugreport and debugging! [Closes: issue680]
grml2usb (0.9.6) unstable; urgency=low
* Support installation of the currently running grml live
system ("grml2usb /live/image /dev/sdx1").
* Add "persistent" entry to grub/syslinux menu. [Closes: issue669]
grml2usb (0.9.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix dashes of options in manpage (thanks for the bugreport,
Thorsten Glaser).
* Display program version during execution.
* Apply fix by Peter Daum <email address hidden>, making sure
to use the normalized path for unmounting. Thanks!
* Use 'multiboot' for booting MirOS BSD when using grub2.
* Catch exception if copying files fails.
* Make sure to exit if installing grub fails.
* Integrate hdt (Hardware Detection Tool) in bootsplash (but
only if using syslinux as grub isn't supported).
grml2usb (0.9.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Bugfix: move kernel commandline from initrd to kernel option in
generate_flavour_specific_grub2_config().
grml2usb (0.9.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Drop some leftover 'lang=us' references.
* Update mbr.S (thanks, Thorsten Glaser).

at the same time in the command line. Thanks for bugreport and
code example, Karl Voit!
* Bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).
* Set debhelper's compat version from 4 to 5.
grml2usb (0.9.2) unstable; urgency=low
