Branches for Feisty

Author: Steve McIntyre
Revision Date: 2006-10-08 14:46:48 UTC

[ Joey Hess ]
* Remove net-drivers access floppy from full CD images.

[ Frans Pop ]
* Consistently change location for installation guide to /doc/manual
  on the CD.
* Update author (and timestamp) in README.
* Colin Watson has taken over daily d-i builds for PowerPC.

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Fix to tools/grab_md5: when building the md5-list, DO NOT use the
  "current" symlink in the d-i directories - that causes jigdo problems
  later on. Use the real dirs (as dated) instead.

[ Frans Pop ]
* Remove exclusion of openbsd-inetd for Etch as it is now the prefered
  dependency from netbase. For some reason debootstrap requires both inetd
  packages, so don't exclude netkit-inetd.
  Makes full/netinst images have base_installable again.
* Thiemo Seufer has resumed building images for mips.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Only tell mkisofs to use the prep initrd if it's available (which it
  currently isn't for 2.6.16).

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Fix to tools/grab_md5: reset the file and dir name after each source
  package is finished with.
* Add extra debug in tools/boot/etch/boot-i386

[ Joey Hess ]
* ths has taken over mipsel builds
* Add sudo to generate_di+k_list, it's needed for installs w/o a root user.
* Add support to boot/etch/boot-i386 for adding gtk images. If the
  isolinux files include .with26+gtk, include gtk initrd along with the
  2.4 kernel. If .withgtk, include gtk initrd along with the default
  (presumably 2.6) kernel.
* i386 has stopped building because the el-torito boot images were turned
  off (due to size issues). Fix this by not failing if the el-torito images
  arn't there.
* d-i doesn't include bast images anymore, drop from boot-arm.
* Update task.list adding more language tasks.
* Update task-essential-etch build recipe to exclude the kde-desktop
  task since it won't fit on the CD.
* Move kde-desktop to end of task.list for same reason.
* Update task-full-etch to current tasksel.

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Add better GNU/kFreeBSD support in setting ARCH in CONF.sh.
  Closes: #327470

[ Joey Hess ]
* Applied patch from smarenka to add 2.6 kernels for m68k, also 2.4 kernels
  for appropriate m68k subarches, and also emile, amiboot, atari-bootstrap,
  and initramfs-tools for m68k.

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Add extra arm kernels and more utilities into the task lists.
  Closes: #373225

[ Joey Hess ]
* Correct url to the amd64 dailys.
* Add gtk initrd to amd64 images if available.
* Add autorun file to amd64 images if there's a README.html, same as for
  i386.
* Add pcmciautils-udeb to udeb_include lists; something needs to pull it
  in and like pcmcia-cs-udeb its priority won't.

[ Frans Pop ]
* Wouter Verhelst has taken over daily d-i builds for powerpc.
* AMD64 d-i images are now available from people.d.o.
* Add cryptsetup to first CD; needed for installations using encrypted
  partitions.

[ Joey Hess ]
* Add 686 kernels, since the netinst CD is much larger and can now easily
  fit them and this makes the CD much more attractive for many users.

[ Frans Pop ]
* Drop 2.4 support for sparc64; switch from 2.4 to 2.6 for sparc32.
* Exclude 2.4 kernel udebs for sparc and s/390 (s/390 has switched to 2.6).
* Include only 2.6 kernel images for sparc.
* Update to libdevmapper1.02.
* No need to include yaird for m68k.
* Drop initrd-tools for ia64, powerpc and sparc.
* Include initramfs-tools instead of yaird for ia64 and sparc.
* No initramfs generator needed for mips, mipsel and m68k.

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Switch from 2.4 to 2.6 kernels for arm, mips and mipsel.
* Switch from yaird over to initramfs-tools for arm.
* Much simplified generate_di+k_list - mips and mipsel don't need script
  fragments any more.
* Added elilo for i386.

[ Joey Hess ]
* Update task-essential-etch.
* Update task.list to include all the new language tasks.
* Update task-full-etch.

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Mips has dropped r5k-ip22 kernels and gained r5k-ip32. And r5k-ip32
  doesn't have CD boot support yet, so don't attempt to use the cdrom
  boot image.

[ Frans Pop ]
* There are no "tape" images with 2.6.16 for S/390.
* Exclude floppy and el-torito images for i386 as they are not being built.
* Update exclude-udebs lists.
* Exclude 2.4.27 kernel packages from CD1 for sparc and s/390.
* Exclude 2.6.15 kernel header and image packages from CD1.
* Exclude 2.6.16 xen and vserver kernel packages from CD1.
* Update generate_di+k_list to include libsysfs2.
* Update popularity contest data for etch.
* Update generate_di+k_list to include libdiscover1.

[ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
* Add more features to get_diskusage.pl, making it easier to track
  dependencies and rejected packages.
* Correct splash screen generation for sarge and etch, making sure the
  correct background colour (black) is selected.

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Try to fix the "unofficial development version" bug on official CDs.

[ Joey Hess ]
* Include libc6-i686 in generate_di+k_list, base-installer will
  soon begin installing this onto machines that can use it.
  (To regain some space, libc6-amd64 will soon stop being standard priority,
  and drop off.)
* On sparc, include libc6-sparcv9 and libc6-sparcv9b, which base-installer
  will also pull in.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Cope with cdrom64 -> cdrom renaming for powerpc64 subarchitecture.

[ Sven Luther ]
* [powerpc] Added a rescue option to yaboot.conf as well as the pegasos boot
  script.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Remove obsolete devfs=mount,dall and init=/linuxrc options from
  yaboot.conf and pegasos boot script.
* Remove init=/linuxrc from hppa.

[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Applied patches that are being in use at O.S. Systems and that are
  useful to others:
  - allow to use different name for final iso image;
  - allow to set the script to be used in debootstrap to check if all
    base need package are present.

[ Frans Pop ]
* Introduce new environment variable NOSOURCE that allows to build CD images
  using a local mirror that does not contain source files. This new variable
  obsoletes setting IMAGETARGET, though that is still supported for
  backwards compatibility. Closes: #320205.

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Update the suggested DVD size in CONF.sh to a saner number
* Re-sync CONF.sh over debian/CONF.sh
* Minor changes to README.html.in and generation of README.html:
  cope with unofficial, official beta and official release CDs
  better. Let's not repeat the sarge mistake. Closes: #312604
* Trivial updates to update-cd

[ Frans Pop ]
* Update base-etch and popularity-contest-etch in tasks.
* Update task-full-etch and task-essential-etch in tasks.

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Update Dependencies to allow installation/use on GNU/kFreeBSD. Thanks
  to Petr Salinger for the patch. Closes: #378977
* Fix KERNEL_PARAM breakage. Thanks to Vagrant Cascadian for the patch,
  closes: #387255
* Removed reference to obsolete "mirrorcheck" target in the README
  file. Closes: #384064.
* s/sarge/etch/ and s/3.1/3.2/ in CONF.sh
* Last upload ready for the etch release (hopefully)
