base-installer 1.98ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

base-installer (1.98ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Use and depend on the Ubuntu keyring.
    - Enable the restricted component by default, unless
      apt-setup/restricted is preseeded to false.
    - Set up the default sources.list to look in -updates and -security (the
      latter from apt-setup/security_host) as well as the unadorned suite;
      also -proposed if apt-setup/proposed is true.
    - Use Ubuntu kernel image names.
    - Allow preseeding base-installer/kernel/override-image to force a given
      kernel to be used.
    - Write out the resume partition as a UUID if possible.
    - Install busybox-initramfs rather than busybox.
    - If base-installer/use_unclean_target is asked, emit a warning to the
      logs so that we know about it when diagnosing problems.
    - Never select /dev/ramzswap* as a hibernation target.
  * Backport from trunk (Ian Campbell, Frans Pop):
    - Use -686 kernels for CentaurHauls processors again (effectively
      undoing r55059) . According to 464962 the kernel has been fixed since
      2.6.26-8. Closes: #504095

  * Only set driver inclusion policy if other than 'most'. The maintainer
    of initramfs-tools assures us that the default will not change.

base-installer (1.95) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Install filesystem related packages after running the post-install hooks,
    as the former might be interactive. Installing them after locales has
    been installed avoids perl errors. Closes: #496130

base-installer (1.94) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Allow to select driver inclusion policy for initramfs-tools
    Closes: #494466

  [ Martin Michlmayr ]
  * Use MODULES=dep on arm and armel.

  [ Jérémy Bobbio ]
  * i386: Use -486 flavour for all CentaurHauls processors.  As they lack long
    NOP instructions, -686 kernels since 2.6.22+ fail to boot on these
    processors even if they claim 686 compatibility.  Closes: #492751

base-installer (1.93) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Improve kernel selection for AMD64. All k8 and most k7 systems support the
    686 kernel flavor. Only older k7 systems without SSE support need 486.
    Based on documentation the divider seems to be at family 6, model 6.
    Closes: #490542.
  * Avoid locale related errors up to the point where locales gets installed
    by setting IT_LANG_OVERRIDE=C for apt-install.

  [ Ian Campbell ]
  * i386: If the installer is running a -bigmem kernel and the processors
    support PAE then select a -bigmem kernel for installation. For
    compatibility with running under Xen. Closes: #480054.

base-installer (1.92) unstable; urgency=low

  * Call base-installer.d hooks after running debootstrap, for consistency
    with live-installer. (So, pre_install_hooks is run after bootstrap, but
    before anything is installed with apt. So the name still makes a kind
    of sense, if you squint..)
  * Remove sources.list before running base-installer.d hooks. Otherwise,
    apt-install will try to run apt, rather than queuing, and apt is not
    configured yet.

  * Add versatile as known armel kernel flavour.

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Remove Bdale Garbee and Sven Luther as Uploaders with many thanks for
    their past contributions.
  * Revert to bind-mounting the installation CD in /target because in some
    cases the fact that the CD is already mounted on /cdrom can prevent the CD
    from being scanned. Closes: #475639.

base-installer (1.89) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Martin Michlmayr ]
  * Add a cpuinfo file from QNAP TS-109 (orion) to the test suite.
  * Mark the orion flavour as unusable on non-Orion systems.

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * hppa: change test for SMP support to use /var/numcpus which is created
    by rootskel (from version 1.59); the current test does not work as it
    requires the D-I kernel to have SMP support, which it hasn't.
    Thanks to Grant Grundler for his suggestions.
  * powerpc: correctly recognize systems with 'RS64-IV (sstar)' cpu as
    powerpc64 (closes: #469030).
  * Add support for PA Semi's evaluation systems (#464429). Thanks to
    Olof Johansson for the patch.
  * Now that changing CDs is supported, stop bind-mounting /cdrom in /target
    except for hd-media installs.
  * This requires that /dev is bind-mounted in /target earlier; the
    installation of packages required to mount file systems is left as a
    separate step.

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * Add facility to include and exclude packages from the base system by
    preseeding base-installer/includes and base-installer/excludes. Adding
    packages using base_include and base_include CD files still works and
    the packages are added to the preseeded ones.
  * Add facility to use a specific script by preseeding
    base-installer/script.

  [ Martin Michlmayr ]
  * Rename orion to orion5x to allow for support of other Orion
    platforms in the future.

base-installer (1.88) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Demote Transmeta Crusoe systems to use the 486 kernel.
    Based on #464962, Crusoe lacks support for a long NOP instruction,
    which gcc has begun using when optimising for the 686.

base-installer (1.87) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Add a dependency on ${misc:Depends} for base-installer so that it
    depends properly on debconf.

  [ Aurelien Jarno ]
  * Add support for the MIPS Malta platform.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Silence syslog noise if /usr/lib/base-installer.d or
    /usr/lib/post-base-installer.d is empty.

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Whitespace cleanup: reduce indentation in kernel selection scripts.
  * Update kernel tests for i386 and powerpc.
  * Change kernel usability tests for all arches so that by default any
    postfix is allowed, but only when separated from the flavor by a hyphen.
    This allows both standard postfixes (e.g. -smp) postfixes for custom built
    images, and is used to support updated kernel meta packages for stable.
  * mips/mipsel: allow fallback to 4kc-malta kernel for 5kc-malta.
  * Add hack that allows default selection of kernel meta packages with a
    postfix added to the name through preseeding, for example to support
    selection of updated kernels for stable.
