debian-cd (3.1.11) unstable; urgency=low
[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Merge x86 EFI support from the EFI_support branch (Closes: #658352)
+ Pull in grub-efi for amd64 and i386
+ Lots of extra code in boot-x86:
- pull grub EFI pieces out of the latest debian-cd_info.tar.gz
blobs in d-i, if they're there. If so, use them to make x86 images
bootable via EFI (both via CD and USB)
- parse the isolinux menus already provided in the d-i build and
generate equivalent grub menus, complete with themes for a
reasonable layout with graphics and titles.
- depending more and more on xorriso rather than genisoimage...
* Add version-tracking into dependency sorting. Closes: #687949)
+ Use/parse output from a newer version of apt so that "apt-cache
depends" will include version information on dependencies.
+ All tracking of packages now include versions, so we pass around
hashes of {package name, comparison op, version} everywhere instead
of simply passing package names as strings.
+ Add the APT::Cache::ShowVersion=1 option to apt-cache calls to
turn on version reporting. Needs a locally-patched version of apt
*for now*, but expecting that to be fixed for the Wheezy
release. The new code degrades gracefully if version info is not
available.
+ Add a dependency on libdpkg-perl for version comparison code.
* Improve architecture support in which_deb. Closes: #695244
+ Check all the architectures available in the archive if we're not
specifically told which to use (e.g. on source builds)
+ If we fail to find packages/sources for the specified package, say
so and bail out properly.
* Switch boot-x86 to depend on xorriso totally rather than genisoimage
now; working UEFI support needs it. We also need very recent (1.2.6)
xorriso for various bugfixes, ideally.

debian-cd (3.1.10) unstable; urgency=low
[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Don't exclude all the udebs for s390. Some users really do need them
(loading from a CD/DVD used over the network). Closes: Bug #673576
* Explicitly add s390-tools and sysconfig-hardware for s390.
* Tweak sort_deps:
+ Track whether a dependency chain is caused by a hard dependency
(Depends) or soft (Recommends/Suggests). If we fail to add a package
down the chain on a *soft* dependency, don't invalidate the entire
chain.
+ When checking OR dependencies, *first* check to see if any of the
options are already installed *before* trying to install the first
option. Helps a lot with circular deps such as task-lxde-desktop ->
task-desktop -> (task-gnome-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | etc.); in
this case, of course task-lxde-desktop should satisfy the OR dep.
* Tweak powerpc boot options, using 32/64 bit detection in yaboot at
boot time. Thanks to Milan Kupcevic for the patch. Closes: #678066
* Tweak boot-load-size for ia64 to make CDs boot again. Closes: #678883.
Thanks to Stephan Schreiber for the patch. Tweak all the other
ElTorito-booting arches in a similar fashion.

* Clean up forcd1, removing twm, wmaker, wmakerconf, pump,
menu (pulled in by desktop tasks),
aptitude (pulled in by debootstap, and may be demoted to optional),
alsa-utils, alsa-base (pulled in by task-desktop),
mdetect, read-edid (no longer used by xorg),
grub (handed by generate_di+k_list),
deborphan, debfoster, localepurge (expert user stuff),
chdrvfont (no such package any more),
discover, popularity-contest, wpasupplicant, openssh-server
(in generate_di+k_list),
gnupg (pulled in by debootstrap)
* Updated generate_di+k_list to match more closely the current
packages d-i apt-installs.
* Further trim forcd1, removing lots of historical cruft, and adding
comments explaining the rationalle for the remaining packages.
