os-prober (1.81ubuntu1) kinetic; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1987386). Remaining changes:
    - Mount btrfs subvolume @ when present to access a btrfs formatted
      rootfs.
    - When called with WINOSDATA, return the list of Windows partitions
      containing the system instead of only listing these containing the
      bootrecord. Add Windows10 detection.
    - Stop building the udeb on request.
  * Dropped changes, superseded in Debian:
    - Sort detected kernels by modification time, if possible.
      => Kernels are now sorted by - reverse - natural number order (see
         option -v of ls).
  * Added FIXME tag mentioning that Windows 11 system partitions are detected
    as Windows 10 when os-prober is called with WINOSDATA

  * More fixes to not mangle partitions that can't be safely detected via
    mounting:  (LP: #1579609)
    - os-probes/common/50mounted-tests: Add statement to skip probing when a
      partition is detected as LVM2_member.
    - Synchronize os-probes/common/50mounted-tests and
      linux-boot-probes/common/50mounted-tests so they behave the same with
      regards too LVM members and extended partitions.
    - Fix fs_types() to not return with an error code, in all cases it should
      return a value of NOT-DETECTED if the partition type could not be
      detected; this includes MSDOS extended partitions.

  * Only look for a smart version of mount if we're using busybox mount. In
    a normal system, mount probably already handles labels and UUIDs, and
    using mount from another filesystem is risky enough that it's worth
    avoiding if possible.
  * Memoise calls to 'basename $0' in log function.
  * Handle escaped special characters in /etc/fstab and /proc/mounts
    (LP: #433910).
  * dash defines test's -nt operator differently from bash, as it's entitled
    to do since this is an extension not defined in POSIX. If file1 exists
    and file2 does not, bash returns true but dash returns false. Don't rely
    on bash's behaviour when checking whether to use GRUB Legacy or GRUB 2
    configuration files, otherwise we end up using neither when only one set
    of configuration exists and /bin/sh is dash.
  * Try to map LABEL= and UUID= ourselves in linux_mount_boot rather than
    relying on mount to do it, to further reduce the chance that we need to
    use mount from another filesystem.
  * If the filesystem identified by linux-boot-prober as /boot is already
    mounted somewhere else, then bind-mount it rather than trying to mount
    it again.

  * Upgrade to debhelper v7.
  * Detect Acronis Secure Zone (thanks, Alexey Fisher; LP: #354334).
  * Run os-prober and linux-boot-prober in a private mount namespace if
    possible, to avoid desktop environments picking up the mounts. Thanks to
    Gabor Gombas for the suggestion. (Closes: #476184)
  * Use vol_id/blkid output if possible to avoid having to try every
    possible filesystem for every partition. This isn't actually very much
    faster for me, but it certainly cuts down on syslog noise.
  * Skip extended and swap partitions (closes: #511518).
  * Install Mac OS X probe on i386/amd64 too (LP: #353639).

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - If any umount fails, sleep for five seconds and try again, up to three
      times; it seems that occasionally desktop automounting systems grab
      the device at just the wrong time.
    - Install Mac OS X probe on i386/amd64 too, although it will be marked
      as unsupported in grub-installer as AFAIK it can only be booted
      directly from EFI.
    - Detect Acronis Secure Zone.

os-prober (1.20) unstable; urgency=low

  * Skip grub-installer's "(on /dev/blah)" entries detected in GRUB
    configuration files, as if they're useful they will probably be found by
    another probe, and detecting them can result in exponential growth of
    menu.lst files if you do repeated test installs on multiple partitions.
  * Use readlink -f in mapdevfs shim so that os-prober runs outside d-i
    handle mount-by-UUID correctly.
  * Use mktemp -d rather than /tmp, to make use outside d-i safer.
  * Merge from Ubuntu:
    - Try to install fs-core-modules and fs-secondary-modules udebs. These
      are specific to the Ubuntu kernel udeb layout, but it's fairly cheap
      to check for them as well and saves on divergence here.
    - Add os-probes/mounted/sparc/80solaris to recognize Solaris/SPARC
      (Fabio M. Di Nitto).
    - Add linux-boot-probes/mounted/sparc/50silo support (Fabio M. Di
      Nitto).
    - Try to load ufs module, for Solaris support (Fabio M. Di Nitto).
    - Tighten check for whether we're running in d-i; anna-install isn't
      quite enough because if you're running d-i code outside d-i it's
      sometimes reasonable to install a shim for anna-install.
  * Don't probe partitions mounted on /target/boot.
  * Teach linux-boot-prober to deal with mounted partitions correctly,
    unless they're mounted on /, /target, or /target/boot (LP: #14780). This
    should largely obsolete the --mounted option.
  * Only use /target/bin/mount if it exists, in order to work better outside
    d-i.

os-prober (1.18ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Fix os-prober to skip partitions with "whole_disk" attribute set.
    This is required on architectures like sparc.
