Change logs for debian-cd source package in Squeeze

  • debian-cd (3.1.5) unstable; urgency=high
      [ Steve McIntyre ]  * Final upload for squeeze.  * Pass the base mkisofs options into make_disc_trees too.  * Switch to --iso-level 4 for powerpc images to make them work better    with POWER machines. Thanks to Milan Kupcevic for the patch.    Closes: #603536  * Add code to make isohybrid images for i386/amd64:    + Makefile: Add support for overriding the MKISOFS and MKISOFS_OPTS      variables on a per-arch basis    + CONF.sh: add working examples for this    + CONF.sh: fix up the -jigdo-min-file-size option to use 1024 instead      of 0; genisoimage used to fix this up, but xorriso doesn't.    + tools/boot/squeeze/boot-x86: if configured to use xorriso, add the      extra command line options to add the isohybrid MBR. Also work      around a difference in ISO directory naming between genisoimage and      xorriso.    + Closes: #551951  * Drop the recommended size for BD-ROMs slightly, on the recommendation    of Thomas Schmitt. This will make it more likely that we'll fit on    all media. -- Steve McIntyre <email address hidden>  Wed, 02 Feb 2011 23:37:54 +0000
  • debian-cd (3.1.4) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * Cleanup of packages included for bootable CDs (generate_d-i+k_list):
        - libsysfs2 workaround is no longer needed;
        - discover is no longer used anywhere;
        - include grub-legacy instead of grub;
        - pcmcia-cs has been fully replaced with pcmciautils.
      * Exclude udebs for X.Org-based version of the Graphical Installer.
      * Excluding reiserfs4 udebs is not needed for Squeeze.
      * Include pciutils on installation CDs.
      * Only include a symlink for the suite actually specified in the
        Release file. Closes: #590993
    
      [ Karl Goetz ]
      * Rename log.sort_deps* to sort_deps*.log for better consistency.
        Closes: #571591
      * Minor tweaks to Debian packaging to make lintian happy.
        Closes: #592932
      * Minor whitespace/wording fixes for the README file. Closes: #592933
      * Change the default for NORECOMMENDS to 1 for consistency with
        NOSUGGESTS. Closes: #598196
      * Documentation patches
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Rename log.add_packages to add_packages.log
      * Add dependency on dpkg-dev for dpkg-architecture. Closes: #574879
      * Add support for forcing firmware packages onto CD#1:
        + Add "FORCE_FIRMWARE=1" to CONF.sh to turn this on
        + Will pick up on packages in the "firmware" task and install them
        + Will also add sym-links to them in CD1/firmware so that new d-i code
          can find them easily.
        + Will add a short sentence into README.html/README.txt
      * Add top-level control of which checksums are desired for output images
        see the CHECKSUMS setting in CONF.sh
      * Fix some bashisms in tools/apt-selection.
      * When generating both iso and jigdo files, make sure that the iso files
        are at least as new as the jigdo files, as this helps people mirroring.
        Closes: #587774
      * On release builds, use the full version number including all the dots
        (e.g. 6.0.0 for the squeeze release instead of 600).
      * Update loadlin kernel parameters to match d-i values. Thanks to Samuel
        Thibault for the patch. Closes: #594267
      * Fix support for alternative boot splash images. Thanks to Tony Awtrey
        for the patch. Closes: #537368
      * Include the acpi package for all x86 media types. Closes: #475243
      * Include the wpasupplicant package on netinsts and larger. Closes: #593914
      * Include kbd on first CD rather than console-tools. Closes: #514654
      * Added dedication to Frans Pop.
    
      [ Ian Campbell ]
      * boot-x86: detect duplicates in the extra images used for installation
        and replace with hard links.
      * CONF.sh: Don't reset the value of $VARIANTS by default.
    
      [ Aurelien Jarno ]
      * Add support for the kfreebsd ports. Closes: #593629
      * Add debian-ports-archive-keyring-udeb and
        emdebian-archive-keyring-udeb to the exclude list - they should be in
        the initrd already.
      * Don't exclude reiserfsprogs-udeb, as rescue-mode depends on it.
        Closes: #593972
    
      [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
      * Support replacing the g-i image with ones own image. Closes: #601189
    
      [ Holger Levsen ]
      * Start work on Debian Edu images.
    
      [ Otavio Salvador ]
      * squeeze: include zlib-modules for i386 images

  • debian-cd (3.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * Adjust x86 boot scripts for new version (2.0) of framework in D-I for
        creation of syslinux configuration files. Essentially the new version
        is a backport of what was already implemented in debian-cd before the
        release of Lenny and allows a significant simplification.
        There are no significant changes in generated CD/DVD images.
      * Split out code for workaround for #505243 to x86-desktop function library.
      * sparc: display message for unsupported subarchitectures.
      * Only do boot disk stuff for x86 and alpha if the image is supposed to be
        bootable. Avoids downloading x86 D-I images for all 30+ CDs in a full set.
      * Don't download floppy D-I images for i386; they're no longer available.
      * Don't fetch D-I images for the prep subarchitecture; it is not available.
      * Add path when sourcing CONF.sh for compatibility with dash. Spotted by
        Ian Campbell.
      * Add console-setup to packages needed for D-I.
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Remove bashism in tools/apt-selection. Closes: #530972
    
      [ Ian Campbell ]
      * Add support for "variants". A variant allows to include/exclude additional
        packages or D-I components relative to a regular image.
      * Add variant to create i386/amd64 images that support installing Xen guests.
      * Recognise and ignore Enhances: lines.
      * Create apt/preferences.d in APTTMP, keeps newer apt from printing a warning.
    
      [ Raphaƫl Hertzog ]
      * Fallback looking for syslinux/silo/yaboot in $CODENAME when $DI_CODENAME
        didn't gave any result. This is useful when using partial mirrors built by
        simple-cdd while trying to build a Debian CD using a newer d-i (in my case
        etch CD with lenny d-i).
      * Use dpkg --fsys-tarfile instead of ar for extracting files from deb
        packages. The previous invocation could have failed for packages using
        something other than gzip compression.
      * Fix syntax errors in tools/boot/{lenny,squeeze}/boot-m68k (thanks to
        lintian).
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Fix link in README.html.in for lenny, and update squeeze to match.
        Closes: #542191
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * s390: Add boot files specifying offset and size of the initrd for booting
        from CD. Change is based on SuSE's CD boot. Many thanks to Adam Thornton,
        Mark Post and Bastian Blank for providing the pointers to the missing bits.
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Add support for coping with binary and source packages that are too
        large to fit. If we have to remove packages and their dependencies,
        list them in README.excluded in the root of disc 1.
    
      [ Joey Hess ]
      * Add firmware-linux-nonfree to firmware list. Left firmware-linux for now
        though it is now only a dependency package.
      * Add firmware-linux-free to firmware list, as a convenient way to make
        it available along with the other firmware files. (It could, instead,
        be included directly in d-i images, if there were a udeb.)
        Closes: 566561
    
      [ Karl Goetz ]
      * Improve the description for MAXCDS in the conf file. (Closes: #570028)
      * Export the CDNAME variable in the conf file. (Closes: #570470)
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Cope with errors reported from debootstrap better; don't just treat
        the text output as package names. Closes: #570474
    
     -- Steve McIntyre <email address hidden>  Sun, 21 Feb 2010 22:47:38 +0100
  • debian-cd (3.1.2) unstable; urgency=low
    
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * Add support for squeeze.
    
      [ Colin Watson ]
      * Luk Claes has taken over alpha, amd64, mips, and mipsel daily d-i
        builds.
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Don't call images beta if they're using OFFICIAL_VAL == 2.
        Closes: #516353
      * Add wpasupplicant to tasks/*/forcd1 . Closes: #517298. It's a small
        package that should fit easily.
      * tools/sort_deps: Sort dependencies better: if A dep B then we should
        NOT list A before B. Closes: #518145.
    
      [ Joey Hess ]
      * Add firmware-linux to firmware task.
      * Re-add zd1211-firmware to firmware task.
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * tools/imagesums: Add support for more checksum types. genisoimage
        will shortly start generating sha256 and sha512 sums too.
      * Recognise and ignore Breaks: lines. Closes: #523444
      * Re-add code to generate install.bat on x86 machines. Thanks to Samuel
        Thibault for the patch. Closes: #518807
      * Modify README.html: only attempt to link to the release notes and
        installation manual on release-ready builds, otherwise suggest the
        alioth version of the installation manual. Closes: #330398
    
     -- Steve McIntyre <email address hidden>  Sat, 16 May 2009 22:12:32 +0100
  • debian-cd (3.1.1) unstable; urgency=high
    
    
      [ Frans Pop ]
      * sparc: remove bogus default "append=cdrom" line from silo.conf template.
      * sparc: ensure the default 'install' option also gets KERNEL_PARAMS set.
      * start_new_disc: fix a typo so that DISC_PKG_HOOK might work. Thanks to
        Jonathan Hall for the patch. Closes: #513421
      * boot-x86: drop support for no longer really useful ISOLINUX_DEFAULT
        environment variable (see #512303 for discussion).
      * x86: clean up compatibility code that was needed for D-I Lenny RC1
        isolinux configuration files.
    
      [ Otavio Salvador ]
      * do not exclude libaio1-udeb from CDs.
    
      [ Steve McIntyre ]
      * Merge patches from Jonathan Hall:
        + Add better support for extra components, improve non-i386 mirror
          support (Closes: 514237)
        + tools/update_tasks no longer assumes i386 for all builds (Closes: #513497)
        + tools/which_deb no longer assumes i386 for all builds (Closes: #513498)
      * For source-only builds, don't do any task updates as they're not
        useful anyway.
      * Last high-urgency upload, ready for Lenny!
