dell-recovery 1.12 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dell-recovery (1.12) precise; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Update bootloader patches to current grub2-trunk.
  * Add support to run GRUB2 binary builder out of tree via environment
    variables.
  * Add a 10 second countdown and automatic reboot at the end of stage 1.
  * Call emergency.sh as LAST item in casper.
  * If running in persistent mode, forcefully regenerate the apt-cache
    on boot.
  * Copy files using a blacklist excluding casper-rw rather than an all
    inclusive whitelist.  Fixes problems with persistence and dell-recovery.
  * Update the GPT utility partition creation logic.  (LP: #877858)
  * Capture the state of all packages after post install scripts to prevent
    bad interactions with remove_oem_extras after ubiquity r5804
  * Update README for more current information.
  * Don't regenerate the UUID during stage 1 anymore.  Instead, pre-populate
    the disk's UUID on the kernel command line of the target install.
    Requires casper 1.290 or later to work.
  * Add some preseeded language fixes that are reactive to casper 1.289
    from precise and 1.287.1 from oneiric. (LP: #888298)
    - Don't preseed the language in a standard preseed file as it overrides
      casper's attempt at setting the language.
    - Don't let dell-bootstrap set language based on locale.  Only have it
      set English if no other language has been specified yet.
  * Create a flag on the disk filesystem to indicate an install is in progress.
  * Remove the casper UUID in SUCCESS_SCRIPT as well as stage 1 of recovery.
    This will prevent the RP from booting unless the UUID is present on
    /proc/cmdline.
  * Don't include grubenv in the files that go in /factory on install media.
  * Include a grub.cfg script that will be copied into the recovery media and
    source the proper location of installs in progress.
  * Always set install_finished on completion to ensure sticks aren't booted
    again.
  * Unset install_finished when mounting the RP during OOBE.

  [ Kent Baxley ]
  * Preseed chinese installs as zh_CN.UTF-8 rather than just zh_CN.  Fixes
    translation problems for chinese factory installs. (LP: #879114)

  [ Chen Hsin-Yi ]
  * Encode all strings stored in XML as UTF-8. (LP: #890113)
  * Add a unit test to test for bug 890113.

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Fix pyflakes error of assigned but unused variable 'e' from UTF-8 XML
    patch.
