[ Frans Pop ] * Include both version number and codename as release identification. * Add a version.info file inside netboot tarballs. Closes: #475774. [ Otavio Salvador ] * Add cdebconf-text-entropy to common EXTRAUDEBS variable and cdebconf-gtk-entropy on all gtk images. -- Otavio Salvador Thu, 22 May 2008 12:25:14 -0300 debian-installer (20080227) unstable; urgency=low [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Disable the Netwinder image for now since it's too large. -- Frans Pop Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:22:25 +0100 debian-installer (20080224) unstable; urgency=low [ Steve Langasek ] * Drop obsolete boot args from alpha netboot images. * Switch alpha cdrom images from initrd to initramfs (untested, but should work). [ Joey Hess ] * Changes to target lenny. [ Frans Pop ] * Drop build dependency on modutils (only needed for 2.4 kernels). * Excluding non-us for sources.list.udeb should no longer be needed; add exclusion for volatile.debian.{org,net}. * x86: document parameters to disable ACPI and USB on F6 isolinux help screen. * Switch i386, amd64, sparc and s/390 to 2.6.20-1. * Don't include usb-discover in images as USB modules should be loaded automatically now. [ Colin Watson ] * Don't try to mount devfs if $(TREE)/etc/udev exists. * Remove apparently-stray test for /dev/tty that broke tree_umount target for udev builds. * Run the demo in the C.UTF-8 locale. * Correct partman-auto-recipe.txt's descriptions of the $defaultignore, $lvmignore, and $lvmok specifiers to include the $. [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Remove rpc images because RiscPC machines are no longer supported. * Remove DECstation images because these machines are no longer supported. * Switch mips, mipsel and arm to 2.6.20-1. * Cobalt: don't turn the serial console on explicitly since this will kill Qube 2700 boxen and it's on by default on those machines with a serial console anyway. [ Joey Hess ] * Exclude pciutils-udeb from the i386 root floppy as it's out of space again thanks to libc etc bloat and we can do without lspci. Closes: #420078 [ dann frazier ] * Update ia64 to 2.6.20 - omit scsi-common-modules udev since these modules have been merged into the scsi-modules udeb [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Switch arm, mips and mipsel to 2.6.21-1. [ Frans Pop ] * Switch i386, amd64, alpha and s390 to 2.6.21-1. * Include the default release for the target system and the release from which to retrieve udebs in images. The first makes it unnecessary to hardcode the default release in choose-mirror and the last ensures consistency between udebs included in the initrd and udebs retrieved during the installation. See #424640 and #426303. Requires net-retriever 1.18. [ Joey Hess ] * Stop including KEYRING onto initrds. Needs base-installer 1.80 and net-retriever 1.17, which use the udeb, and debian-archive-keyring-udeb 2007.02.19-0.1. * No need to unset KEYRING for floppies anymore. Closes: #423265. * Work around upx-ucl-beta bug #426747. * Exclude core-modules from i386 driver floppies, it's available on the root floppy. [ Stephen R. Marenka ] * m68k: Drop all non-at keymaps, except amiga, since we only support 2.6. * m68k: Add -at keymaps explicitly to atari floppy. * m68k: Add -amiga keymaps explicitly to pkg-lists. * m68k: Punt the remainder INITRD22 stuff and simplify the rest. * Switch m68k to 2.6.21-1. [ Frans Pop ] * Use BASEVERSION variable for powerpc to avoid needing to modify the kernel version for each flavor separately. * G-I for i386 is now also affected by the VT switching issue that earlier affected only amd64 (#373253). Include libgcc_s.so.1 to work around this. * For i386 and amd64, add the 'quiet' kernel boot option for all boot methods except expert mode. This reduces the amount of output to the console to only a few messages before the first D-I dialog is displayed. * Drop build dependency on mkisofs for s390 as we don't need it there. [ Joey Hess ] * Changes to support new wireless nic modules udeb. * Switch i386 to have 3 net-drivers floppies. The second one now contains wireless, usb, and pcmcia drivers, while the third contains nic-extra-modules. * Set APT::Install-Recommends=false in get-packages as a preventive measure to avoid getting recommended udebs when apt later defaults to installing recommends. (Mostly a no-op as there are very few udeb recommends currently.) [ Frans Pop ] * Increase build dependency on mklibs to version 0.1.23; needed to avoid build failures or broken images after post-Etch toolchain changes. * Switch alpha, amd64, arm, i386, m68k, mips, mipsel and s390 to 2.6.21-2. * Get rid of hardcoded kernel versions in boot configuration files for mips and mipsel; rename bootscreen-subst to bootvars-subst to reflect this somewhat more general use of this script. * Drop compatibility symlink to old location of the graphical mini.iso. * Switch ia64 to 2.6.21-2. [ Joey Hess ] * Switch to dhcp3-client-udeb. * Remove ugly workaround for apex filename transition, long over. [ Frans Pop ] * Remove support for sparc32 as it is no longer supported for Lenny. * Simplify build structure for sparc. * Switch sparc, powerpc and hppa to 2.6.21-2. [ Joey Hess ] * Remove pcmcia-cs-udeb from ads_cf image, as it's no longer in Debian. * Remove old "linux" syslinux label for x86, it was replaced by "install". * Convert mips/arcboot.conf to use "install" and not "linux" as the label as well. * Apply patch from Václav Ovsík adding a NETBOOT_DI_DIR variable. [ Davide Viti ] * Switch g-i as to use ttf-dejavu for rendering Georgian text [ Christian Perrier ] * Replace the build dependency on grep-dctrl (transition package) by dctrl-tools [ Joey Hess ] * Call dh_md5sums. [ Robert Millan ] * Integrate win32-loader utility. (Closes: #412922) [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Fix the bootvars-subst call on mips so the actual kernel version will be used. [ Joey Hess ] * Change f8.txt to document tasksel/desktop. [ Jérémy Bobbio ] * Add support for apt_preferences(5) files (preferences.{deb,udeb}.local) to ease development when packages are broken in unstable. [ Bastian Blank ] * Support coming cdebconf frontend changes. * Bump build dependency for mklibs. [ Otavio Salvador ] * Switch alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc to 2.6.22-2. * Load config/local by last so we can override previously set options. * Support setting an extra udeb to be included exporting the EXTRAS environment variable. * Allow DEBIAN_VERSION to be overriden using environment variable. [ Frans Pop ] * Disable builds for PowerPC PReP images as there are no prep kernels available. [ Joey Hess ] * Switch i386 to 2.6.22-3. [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Switch all other architectures to 2.6.22-3. * Use mklibs-copy rather than mklibs on mips and mipsel for now since the latter doesn't work. [ Colin Watson ] * Move Frans' d-i internals manual from doc/talks/d-i_debconf6/ to doc/devel/internals/, and build it by default. [ Joey Hess ] * Switch from upx-ucl-beta to upx-ucl, now that it's out of beta. * Avoid using sources.list.d when downloading udebs. Closes: #459612 [ Aurelien Jarno ] * Add support for MIPS Malta platform, but keep it disabled for now. [ Frans Pop ] * Add build dependency on libgcc1 for i386 also as we include libgcc_s for graphical installer images. -- Otavio Salvador Sun, 24 Feb 2008 06:39:28 -0300 debian-installer (20070308) unstable; urgency=low [ Thiemo Seufer ] * Add Qemu mips/mipsel images, thanks Aurelien Jarno. [ Sylvain Ferriol ] * Add keyboard usb packages in i386 root floppy and move all net packages to i386 net-drivers-1 floppy. [ Frans Pop ] * Switch font used for Dzongkha in g-i to ttf-tmuni. [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Provide a properly encrypted firmware image for Thecus N2100 so the firmware upgrade process will recognize it. Thanks to Kurt Roeckx for help with OpenSSL. * Remove incomplete armeb support. * Remove obsolete arm/nslu2 config files. * Switch arm, mips and mipsel to 2.6.18-2. * Switch arm, mips and mipsel to 2.6.18-3. * n2100: Add support for Evesham's M-Box. * Put in a workaround to support building with both apex 1.4.7 and the new 1.4.14 which changes the name of the apex binary; closes: #409747 [ Joey Hess ] * Stop using the system status file; generate a dummy status file for apt containing libc6 and libnewt (the only two debs udebs still depend on). * dhcp3-client-udeb is for some reason Standard priority, so gets included in monolithic image builds (and breaks the build). Exclude it from the monolithic images until its priority is fixed. * The i386 boot floppy will be too big with the 2.6.18 kernel, so drop usb input modules from it. USB keyboard support didn't work before anyway AFAICS, since usb-discover was not included. * With 2.6.18, nic-extra-modules gets too big to fit on the i386 net-drivers-1 floppy with nic-modules. Move nic-extra-modules to net-drivers-2 and reorg to fit. * Don't exclude usb drivers from driver floppies; the root floppy does not currently load them. [ Sven Luther ] * Switch powerpc to 2.6.18-2. * Add a prep flavour. * Add fancontrol modules to cdrom and netboot images for powerpc64. [ Thiemo Seufer ] * Fix tftpboot.sh for mips/r5k-ip32. [ dann frazier ] * Switch ia64 to initramfs. * Make the default boot option on ia64 "Install" for consistency with x86. * Add rescue boot option on ia64. [ Frans Pop ] * Switch i386 to 2.6.18-3. * Apply patch from Alex Owen to fix serial console support for grub in the installed system (#224641). [ Joey Hess ] * Add time to image build date, and set build date to UTC (was local time before). * Etch will be Debian 4.0. [ Stephen R. Marenka ] * Add preliminary network-console support to m68k. * Switch m68k to 2.6.18-3. * Add back the atari subarch and the floppy initrd. * Add emile to build-deps. [ Steve Langasek ] * Switch alpha to 2.6.18-3. Now with support for TITAN systems, huzzah! [ Colin Watson ] * Switch powerpc to 2.6.18-3. * Document new GET_MAX_PRIMARY command in partman-base 99. [ Dann Frazier ] * Switch ia64 to 2.6.18-3. [ Frans Pop ] * Switch amd64, hppa, sparc and s/390 to 2.6.18-3. * On amd64 we temporarily need to include /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 in g-i initrds to work around #373253 until upstream can remove pthread_cancel() calls in directfb. Because of the Etch release this is implemented for now by setting EXTRAFILES in the relevant files under config/amd64. * daily-build: keep file attributes between build targets if fakeroot is used. Closes: #401603. * Raise minimal memory requirement in boot help screens on x86 to 32MB. Closes: #402276. * Makefile: don't strip "Choices-C" fields from templates if DROP_LANG is set (see #400263). [ Joey Hess ] * Copy the keyring from debian-archive-keyring into images (was using the old keyring from apt). Build-depend on a current version of debian-archive-keyring for good measure. * Fix stripping of kernel modules by Makefile, was broken due to bogus find command. * /etc/apt/trusted.gpg can't be guaranteed to be readable, and the udeb download will fail to verify if it's not. Avoid this by making apt use KEYRING. [ dann frazier ] * Add scsi-common-modules to pkg-lists/cdrom/ia64.cfg. sym53c8xx.ko is in this package, which is needed for scsi cd-roms in machines like the HP rx7620 (closes: #403895) * Add relocatable flag to elilo.conf for ia64 - this is required when booting on Altix systems, though it cannot be used with 2.4 kernels [ Joey Hess ] * Remove udev-udeb from the ADS cf image. * Rename gtk-miniiso targets to netboot-gtk, and place the resulting files under the netboot/gtk/ directory. Add full set of netboot files for the gtk image, not just the mini.iso. The gtk-miniiso directories are kept working via symlinks for now, so that we won't have to update the docs so late in the release process. Closes: #408535 [ Frans Pop ] * Update general copyright notices for Debian and Debian Installer to 2007. * Switch all architectures to 2.6.18-4. [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Update mips/mipsel boot configs to refer to 2.6.18-4. [ Joey Hess ] * Add support for armel. Symlink most arm configs to avoid duplication. * Add libgcc1 to the udeb exclude list, and add a dummy item for it to the status file. This supports armel, which already uses glibc 2.5, and will be needed later when other arches switch to it. [ Gordon Farquharson ] * Enable users to select a timezone on arm/ixp4xx, arm/iop32, and mipsel/cobalt. Closes: #403195. * Include the IXP4xx Ethernet driver on the initrd now that oldsys-preseed will choose the correct device depending on whether the NPE microcode is available. [ Steve Langasek ] * Add fb-modules to the initrds on alpha, now that matroxfb has been moved to a separate udeb; fixes support for installs on TGA-using systems. Closes: #404485. [ dann frazier ] * [ia64] Fix elilo boot screen formatting - the addition of the time to the $BUILD_DATE variable was causing an ugly line wrap [ Joey Hess ] * Document use of generic.all_generic_ide=1 in f6.txt.

[ Martin Michlmayr ] * Add input-modules to the ixp4xx initrd. [ Frans Pop ] * Fix the generation of MANIFEST.udebs for extra floppy images. * Add boot option "auto" for i386, amd64, powerpc and sparc to support the new auto-install functionality. -- Frans Pop Thu, 2 Nov 2006 03:25:11 +0100 debian-installer (20061022) unstable; urgency=low [ Joey Hess ] * Remove some leftover 2.4+2.6 support in the ia64 configs. * Make amd64 consitently use initramfs images. * Drop 2.4 support for i386. * Merge most differences between i386 and amd64 configs. Only remaining difference is that floppy support is still desirable (though not present) for i386. * Build gtk isolinux initrd as part of the build process for the regular isolinux image, so that it will be included properly in the isolinux files. * Switch i386 to 2.6.17-2. * Remove root=/dev/ram from syslinux configs, turns out not to be needed for the kernel to find initramfs. * Remove ramdisk_size= and "rw" settings, also not needed. * Which means that ramdisk-size-subst is not needed for x86; removed calls to it. [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Switch arm to 2.6.17-2. * Clean-up arm config now that 2.4 is gone. * Use mknettrom from the nwutil package instead of our own local copy. * Add images for iop32x with support for GLAN Tank. * Add images for ixp4xx. * Switch mips to 2.6.17-2. * Switch mipsel to 2.6.17-2. [ Frans Pop ] * Switch hppa and sparc to 2.6.17-2. * Switch s390 to 2.6.17-2 and re-enable the tape target.

[ Kurt Roeckx ] * Siwtch amd64 to 2.6.17-2. [ Joey Hess ] * Switch alpha to 2.6.17-2 to keep it building. (Untested by me.) [ Colin Watson ] * Use pcmciautils on mips/mipsel monolithic 2.6 builds. [ Sven Luther ] * Get rid of cdrom64/netboot64/gtk-miniiso64 for the powerpc64 subarchitecture (closes: #385145). * Switch powerpc 2.6 images to initramfs (closes: #385175). [ Joey Hess ] * Switch KERNELMAJOR to 2.6 for ads images, since that the most likely kernel used. * Include pcmciautils on ads cf image, but keep pcmcia-cs on there too, on the off chance that a 2.4 kernel is used with it. * Add X_INSTALLATION_MEDIUM to lsb-release file. [ Colin Watson ] * Switch powerpc to 2.6.17-2. Closes: #385164 [ Frans Pop ] * Switch to using initramfs for sparc (except for floppy images); remove no longer needed boot parameters from silo.conf. * Switch to using initramfs for hppa; remove no longer needed palo parameters. [ Wouter Verhelst ] * Don't build powerpc floppy targets in the "regular" builds; they're of no use there except to confuse the user. Which is not useful at all. Closes: #323182, #315308 [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Add a firmware image for Linksys NSLU2 for the new ixp4xx flavour. * Put oldsys-preseed on the iop32x image. [ Frans Pop ] * Add support for ppc64 based on patch from Andreas Jochens. Closes: #382628. * Switch default INITRD_FS to initramfs; configs for individual architectures modified so there are no actual changes. * Add sata-modules for cdrom images on alpha. [ Sylvain Ferriol ] * Add support for 2.6 based floppy installation for i386. -- Frans Pop Sun, 22 Oct 2006 03:11:24 +0200 debian-installer (20060806) unstable; urgency=low * Add ttf-bpg-georgian fonts for graphical installer. * As that was the last missing font udeb, remove support for including fontfiles from tarballs. * Remove 2.4 images for sparc. * Update arches in build depends for module-init-tools and modutils. -- Frans Pop Mon, 6 Aug 2006 23:22:02 +0200 debian-installer (20060726.1) unstable; urgency=low * pkg-lists/exclude: update to libnewt0.52. * Add build dependency on wget for arches that support the graphical installer; this is needed while we still have font tarballs. -- Frans Pop Wed, 26 Jul 2006 13:54:56 +0200 debian-installer (20060726) unstable; urgency=low [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Make sure the Netwinder image doesn't exceed NeTTrom's size limit. Closes: #345319. * Include essential kernel modules on the Netwinder cdrom initrd. * Fix a typo in the Cobalt preseed file. * Rename sb1-swarm-bn to sb1-bcm91250a for consistency. * Add 2.6 images on mips and mipel. * Add support for the Broadcom BCM91480B evaluation board (aka "BigSur"). * Add support for the SGI O2 (IP32) machines (with R5000 CPU). * Put beep-udeb on the NSLU2 initrd so we can notify people when SSH is ready. * Switch to 2.6.16 kernel on arm. * Put the input-modules udeb on the NSLU2 image so the beeper will work. * Remove (incomplete) LART and BAST support. * Remove 2.4 images on arm. [ Joey Hess ] * Split off PRESEED_SUITE from PRESEED, use this for the suite setting for development builds, and no longer unset PRESEED for release builds. Should fix cobalt issues. * Audited the x86 kernel parameter docs in the boot screens vs the 2.6.15 kernel. Removed documentation for parameters that are not listed in the kernel's kernel-parameters.txt, and to a certian extent read the source to find places where kernel-parameters.txt is wrong, and removed those too. It's probably better to not document things than to document them incorrectly. * Modified kernel parameter docs to use the module.param=value syntax for all parameters that are owned by a loadable kernel module. The old param=value at the boot line won't work, since d-i doesn't pass kernel command line to modules. The new syntax requires rootskel 1.30 to work. (Not sure what module(s) own hd=, didn't change it yet.) * Remove docs for how to disable gdth, which harks back to a non-modular kernel. [ Christian Perrier ] * Rename Punjabi related files from pa_IN to pa. * Add the list of needed characters for Northern Sami * Add the list of needed characters for Thai [ Frans Pop ] * Remove no longer used graphical characters from graphic.utf (formerly used in partman). * Move graphic.utf to needed-characters. * Rename all needed-character files to *.utf to simplify Makefile. * Remove 2.6 references from hppa config as 2.6 is now default; keep EXTRANAME=2.6/ for now in order to not break debian-cd. [ Joey Hess ] * Remove build dep on libdebian-installer4 now that all udeb deps are fixed * Update i386 to 2.6.16. * Copy library .so links from library-providing udebs into the udeblib directory along with the library files, otherwise mklibs doesn't see them. (Crossing fingers that this change, which has been tried once before, doesn't break something..) * Remove build dep on libdebconfclient0 since all relevant udeb deps are fixed. * Remove libdebconfclient0 from pkg-list/exclude too. * Remove build dep on libdiscover1 now that there's a libdiscover1-udeb and proper deps. Remove it from pkg-list/exclude too. * Correct comment for libbogl-dev build dep. * Add mips mipsel arm and armeb to arch list for the module-init-tools build dep since they all use 2.6 kernels now. * Limit modutils build dep to the arches that still use 2.4 [arm i386 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc]. [ Frans Pop ] * Update sparc to 2.6.16; re-enable 2.6 for sparc32. * kbd-chooser 1.25 will no longer use usb-mac keymaps for 2.6 based installations if AT keymaps are defined; therefore, no longer include usb-mac keymaps in images using a 2.6 kernel. Not touching pkg-lists files for mips(el) sb1-bcm91250a as they currently don't include AT keymaps. [ Joey Hess ] * Can't find any uses of cdrom-minimal and netboot-minimal, so removing those directories from pkg-lists. [ Colin Watson ] * Update powerpc to 2.6.16. * Pass -r $(KERNELVERSION) to mkvmlinuz rather than -r $(KERNELMAJOR), so that it can tell the difference between 2.6.16 and earlier releases. * Build chrp initrds for powerpc64. * Restore usb-discover on 2.6 images; according to Martin-Éric Racine it's still needed to load usbhid et al on some systems. Plus, it's tiny. * Add support for OS-specific pkg-lists entries: use lines like "gnumach-udeb [hurd]". [ Joey Hess ] * Comment out nano-udeb and save-logs in the access floppy list to try to save space. * New usb-serial-modules package added to access floppy, although that floppy will now be well oversize. * Add kfreebsd and some missing hurd stuff to build dependency info. Closes: #363661 * Remove ide stuff from access floppy, fixing its size problem. Don't know why ide stuff was ever on there. * Remove USB floppy and keychain support from boot floppy as it was out of space. [ Kyle McMartin ] * Update hppa to 2.6.16. [ Frans Pop ] * Also include libs named *.so.* when calling mklibs. Not including those results in missing symbols when building the graphical installer. Closes: #366441. [ Joey Hess ] * Patch from Samuel Thibault to support testing CD-ROM images in qemu. Closes: #367068 * Add documentation for brltty= boot parameter (hope I got it right). * Apply Samuel Thibault's patch to add brltty-udeb to the cdrom, netboot, nativehd, and hd-media images. Closes: #355851 * Mark usb-serial-modules added by brltty patch as optional, since they're not yet available on all arches. * Increase size of the hd-media images from 128 mb to 256 mb to make more room for the netinst. * Put modutils udebs back on 2.4/2.2 images since new busybox has dropped all support for that. * Stop building el-torito i386 image, it's too big due to above busybox change. * i386 floppy is full due to above busybox change, moved half the network stuff the the net-drivers floppy, which now must be used for all network installs. * i386 bootfloppy is broken: mount: Couldn't setup loop device No idea why. Disabled i386 root and boot floppies. :-( * Add EXTRAUDEBS variable which can be used to pull in extra udebs for library reduction that are not on boot images. * Include cdebconf-newt-entropy in EXTRAUDEBS so that its symbols are in the boot images; since it is linked into cdebconf which uses the reduced libc. * No more parted build dep; those udeb deps are fixed. [ Frans Pop ] * Integrate graphical installer. Closes: #228808. [ Steve Langasek ] * Drop serial-modules from the alpha images, since this package is empty now in 2.6.16 apparently due to drivers being built into the kernel [ Colin Watson ] * Integrate graphical installer on powerpc. [ Joey Hess ] * Workaround syslinux weirdness on hd-media images; when asked to boot 2.6/linux, it tries to boot "2.6/l". Rename files out of directories to avoid this; the gtk initrd has the unappetizing name "initrdg.gz". * Fix amd64 gtk miniiso build. * Switch i386 to 2.6.16-2. [ Sven luther ] * Switch powerpc to 2.6.16-2 and disable non-working powerpc subarches. Closes: #373264. [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Switch mips to 2.6.16-2. * Switch arm to 2.6.16-2. * Switch mipsel to 2.6.16-2. * Add images for RiscPC (rpc). * Remove 2.4 images on mips. * Add 2.6 images for DECstation. * Remove 2.4 images on mipsel. [ Frans Pop ] * Switch sparc and amd64 to 2.6.16-2. * graphic.utf: add arrow characters needed for scrollbar display; remove unused/duplicate characters. * Remove needed_characters files for "level 4" languages (are not supported in newt frontend). * Rename needed_characters files for prospective languages so they're not included yet. * Switch hppa to 2.6.16-2. * Switch ia64 to 2.6.16-2. * Include USB-MAC keymaps again for powerpc with 2.6 kernels; they've been re-enabled in kbd-chooser for that architecture. [ Joey Hess ] * Switch from using DEBCONF_PRIORITY and sometimes debconf/priority to consistently using priority=low to boot to expert mode. Needs preseed 1.17. * Change x86 help screen to document fb=false alias. * Remove libtextwrap1 from build deps and pkg-lists/exclude; cdebconf now uses the library udeb. [ Christian Perrier ] * Remove all *.prospective files as all these languages are only used in the graphical installer. [ Joey Hess ] * Remove mountfloppy from netboot/common list, add it to only arches that support floppies. * Don't include brltty on the netboot image for nslu2 machines, which uses network-console. Actually, I removed it from images for arches except for alpha, amd64, i386, ia64, and powerpc, since the other netboot images seem to lack serial-modules. * Remove local copy of slugimage and use the debian package. [ Frans Pop ] * Disable powerpc/apus as the 2.4 kernels it currently uses were removed from the archive.

Remove libiw27 from build deps and from exclude list, since the udeb is in fact used now to provide the library and netcfg's dependencies have been fixes. Enable dependency resolution for netcfg. Now no more updates should be needed here when libiw changes. * Temporarily disable nano from all images, as it's linked to slang2 and the rest of d-i is not, and library reduction cannot cope with two slangs. * Change udeb list format to match file format expected by katie (add arch field). * Make update-manifest also manage a MANIFEST.udeb file listing the udebs inside each file in the manifest, and pass prameters to update-manifest calls to provide this information. * Include a udeb.list, based on the MANIFEST.udeb, but munged so katie can read it natively, inside the images tarball.

There is not yet a kernel for these boards in Debian, so the images do not include a kernel and must be used with a monolithic kernel (from ADS). * The stats targets no longer build any images. If the image is not built, it just won't display stats for it. This is mainly to work around a bug that affected the daily builds, where running stats in a separate fakeroot after the build would run build again, and rebuild initrds based on the trees in tmp, messing up permissions and devices. It also removes a lot of unnucessary work in stats, and allows simpler invocation of stats by the daily-build script. * Don't regenerate the list of udebs in an image in stats, this was redundant info and was slow and ugly to generate there. * Remove config/local from svn and add a comment to config/common about making the file. * Add an evil workaround for bug #329733.

This removes cdrom-core-modules and fs-common-modules from netboot images, and adds parport-modules to apus/cdrom (I think it was missing by mistake). - Add support for kernel-specific pkg-lists entries: use lines like "package [2.2 2.4]" or "package * [2.6]". Should eventually form a simpler replacement for the kernel_specific directory. - Include initrd.list on amd64/i386 images. - Add hd-media image for powerpc, including a boot.img.gz designed for use on USB sticks. - Document USB booting on powerpc.

Closes: #274396 - Preseeding doc updates. Closes: #274486 - Build-depend on cramfsprogs on ia64, needed for 2.6 kernels. - Back to building using udebs in sid to catch the latest set of translation updates and other fixes since pre-rc2. - upx-ucl-beta 1.93 is broken. Avoid building with this version. The safe version to use, 1.91, is in testing. Closes: #275378 - Make image builds run as root (as part of the binary-arch step), rather than as fakeroot, since fakeroot is broken on mips and mipsel. - Add nic-modules to the speakup net-drivers floppy. Closes: #275703 - Add nano and terminfo to access floppy. * Joshua Kwan - sparc cdrom initrd should have scsi-modules.

Closes: #269526 - Add support for depenency resolution to pkg-lists. For now it has to be turned on on a per-package basis by appending an asterisk to the line, since many udebs have messed up dependencies and inter-image dependencies are not accounted for. - Make pkg-list warn about unsatisfied dependencies. - Use dependency resolution for the nic-modules package, as its dependencies vary from arch to arch and kernel to kernel. Fixes various missing deps on i386 and ia64. - Use dependency resolution for scsi-modules to get rid of the kernel_specific hack. - Drop scsi-modules and usb-storage-modules from ia64 netboot image. - Put efi-reader on ia64 cdrom image. - Remove ia64-extra-modules hack, not needed thanks to nic-modules and scsi-modules dependency resolution. - Add dependencies of nic-usb-modules to net-drivers floppy (usb-modules was missing). - Remove useless (and missing dependencies) usb-storage-modules from cd-drivers floppy.

Add build dep on debiandoc-sgml. - Also moved in partman-auto recipe documentation. - Added example preseed file for automated installs. - Rewrote design.txt. - Use text frontend for ia64 installs via serial console by default, since the default ia64 serial console is 9600 baud. - Add English to i386 root floppies. Closes: #269971 - Set build date to the version date from the changelog when doing official builds, so all builds of a given version claim the same date. - Add a dummy entry to the status file for that gives the overall version of the installer image. - Build-Depend on syslinux 2.11-0.1 to get fix for parameter bug. - Drop all languages from root floppy. Drop all other localised versions of root floppy. Document how to make a custom root floppy containing the language(s) you need. (PC 101: If you can't satisfy everyone, satisfy no-one.) - Move countrychooser back to the root floppy. - Add wireless-tools-udeb and nic-usb-modules to the root floppy because we have the space, so why not? - Update hppa to 2.4.27 kernel. Without testing it, but the 2.4.25 kernel udebs are no longer available. We need hppa developers.. - Patch from Jö Fahlke to consistently refer to DEBCONF_FRONTEND in docs. debconf/frontend doesn't work everywhere yet, and it's better to only support one option. * dann frazier - Add ia64 elilo .msg files from Jim Lieb - Add ia64 2.6 image build goo, contributed by Jim Lieb Closes: #267689 - Move ia64 2.6 flavor to 2.6.8-1 - Move ia64 2.4 flavor to 2.4.27-1 - Make 2.6 the default for ia64 - Add elilo.conf options for faster serial consoles - Add a hint about text mode to the elilo boot params screen * Bastian Blank - Drop the whole bunch of languages on s390. * Stephen R.

It's only needed for strange PPP stuff which is not needed on the floppies. - Remove PCMCIA support and wireless tools from root-2. The floppies are only needed on OldWorld, which probably either won't have PCMCIA or will have built-in networking. In the rare cases where this might be needed, you can always throw the udeb on a floppy. - Remove nic-extra-modules from powerpc net-drivers. We've changed the module udebs so that all drivers likely to be needed on OldWorld are in nic-modules. - Move everything else from root-2 to net-drivers, and remove root-2. * Steve Langasek - Trim various unneeded udebs from the alpha netboot and cdrom initrds. * Thiemo Seufer - Add all_rebuild convenience rule. - Add the SGI firmware default sashARCS name to bootfiles. -- Joey Hess Fri, 1 Oct 2004 16:07:11 -0400 debian-installer (20040801) unstable; urgency=medium * Joey Hess - Work around a bug in genext2fs that causes it to produce 1441k floppies. Closes: #262266 - Add ipv6-modules and wireless-tools-udeb back to net-drivers floppy. - Built with newer version of lowmem. - Temporarily add libnewt0.51 to build depends to work around libnewt-dev dependency breakage. * Stephen R.

Closes: #261625 - Numerous fixes and updates to the installer manual, including improved docs on PXE booting for i386 (Closes: #232252), rewritten section of downloading files that avoids bad links and outdated image names (Closes: #246890), document ramdisk_size for lilo and grub booting better (Closes: #255821). - i386 kernel no longer support rarp, disable that in install manual. Closes: #250027 ; Same for hppa. Closes: #250026 - Integrate installation howto into manual. The old text format howto is left for now until we update all links and docs to point to the new one. - Full package builds build the manual in official build mode. * Stephen R. Marenka - Kill second set of m68k initrds, genext2fs seems to work. - Add /dev/null to userdevfs-dev.txt. - Update m68k manual. * Colin Watson - Document 'install video=ofonly' instead of 'install-safe', which is going away (it caused combinatorial explosion in the yaboot prompt on full CDs). - Add fb-modules and floppy-modules to powerpc cdrom and netboot initrds. * Bastian Blank - Update s390 manual: remove mention of second initrd and devfs. * Martin Michlmayr - Add cobalt-scripts and colo-udeb to the Cobalt initrd. * Sven Luther - Switch default powerpc kernel to 2.6. -- Joey Hess Wed, 28 Jul 2004 17:54:19 -0400 debian-installer (20040715) unstable; urgency=low * Sven Luther - Removed the -chrp image and renamed the -chrp-rs6k to -chrp, as the addnote doesn't stop it from working on chrp. - Fixed build for 2.6 -chrp kernels with builtin initrd. only prep is missing now. * Colin Watson - Add usb-storage-modules and scsi-common-modules to the powerpc cdrom initrds. - Add cdrom-core-modules, input-modules, firewire-core-modules, and scsi-core-modules to the powerpc 2.6 cdrom initrds. Should actually work now. - Add pcmcia udebs to powerpc net_drivers floppy and netboot images. - Move $(TREE)/usr/lib/kernel-image-$(KERNELVERSION) out of the way to $(TEMP)/lib when building boot images. powerpc subarchitectures that need to use mkvmlinuz should now be able to do so. - For every initrd, output an initrd.list file containing the packages and their versions used to construct it. - debootstrap-udeb is now priority optional. Add it back into monolithic images. - Drop G5 images; power4 works on G5s as of linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6 0.62. Build power4 netboot 2.6 images. - Remove install-safe and expert-safe targets, advising people to add 'video=ofonly' instead. The -safe targets have got rather out of hand on full CDs, so I'd like to think about removing them there. - daily-build copies the previous build before rsyncing up the new one. This saved 82MB of upload for my powerpc build. - Add nic-shared-modules to powerpc netboot images, needed by nic-modules. - Bump powerpc 2.6 kernels to 2.6.7. Add firmware-modules, much as on i386. - Build-depend on module-init-tools on architectures with 2.6 images. * Joey Hess - Split out a new cyrllic root floppy on i386 as the regular root floppy is full again. - Fix stats for images without kernels. - Fixes to INSTALLATION-HOWTO from Jan Minar. Closes: #253868 - Change netcfg/use_dhcp to netcfg/disable_dhcp in syslinux boot screens and elsewhere. - Update i386 to the 2.6.7 kernel. - Add firmware-modules to i386 images that have either nic-modules or scsi-modules on them. Make this happen only for the 2.6 kernel, using a nasty pkg-lists/kernel_specific technique since we lack dependency resolution in pkg-lists. - Go back to pulling udebs from unstable when building official images. - Produce a single hd-media boot image that includes both kernels. - Parameterise filenames and paths in the syslinux.cfg files so that files can have different names or locations. - Provide a pxeboot.tar.gz on i386 that can just be untarred into a tftpserver file space for easy PXE boot setup, and update INSTALLATION-HOWTO. - Merge the i386 and amd64 syslinux data and image build code. - Add support for dual kernel minisos. - Use the 2.4.46 kernel for speakup. - Add pcmcia-cs to netboot initrd. * Joshua Kwan - Change netcfg/use_dhcp to netcfg/disable_dhcp in manual. * Steve Langasek - Add shaped Arabic characters to the needed-characters set - Bump kernelversion to 2.4.26 for alpha - Add libfribidi0-udeb to the package list for everything except floppy - Add mideast-root floppy flavor and split languages for bidi support * Goswin von Brederlow - Update amd64 kernel version, and input-modules are now compiled in.

Closes: #246958 - Drop console-keymaps-amiga from non-apus powerpc initrds. - Add lvmcfg-utils to pkg-lists/monolithic/common for now; partman-lvm needs it. - Arrange for there actually to be a kernel on the powerpc-small boot floppy again. This is slightly moot, though, as we don't have miboot yet so it's still not bootable ... - Add eject-udeb to powerpc CDs. - Comment out powerpc monolithic target again, since the images tarball is already quite enormous enough and monolithic is mainly intended for developer testing. - Add leading slash to "etc/hostname" in manual (closes: #249101). * Steve Langasek - Change netboot target for alpha now that netabootwrap is in the archive, and add an appropriate versioned build-dep. * Vincent Sanders - Add fsck to check ext2 initrd. * Joshua Kwan - Bump ramdisk_size for sparc to 8192. - add self to Uploaders -- Joshua Kwan Tue, 18 May 2004 10:43:43 -0700 debian-installer (20040430) unstable; urgency=low * Rebuilt w/o i386 stuff in localudebs (argh). -- Joey Hess Thu, 29 Apr 2004 20:36:47 -0400 debian-installer (20040429) unstable; urgency=HIGH * Rebuild with hw-detect 0.93. -- Joey Hess Thu, 29 Apr 2004 13:52:01 -0400 debian-installer (20040428) unstable; urgency=low * Joey Hess - The new discover2 udebs DO NOT WORK, so we're not going to use them for beta4.

Split off a asian-root floppy. - Remove the pcmcia stuff from the cd-drivers floppy, it was too big. - Force the driver floppies to be of size FLOPPY_SIZE. - Add custom-kernel.txt - Add new image type, "monolithic", which build an initrd and a miniiso that contain all standard priority udebs, and does not need any other udebs to install Debian. This simple image type will be much easier to use for custom d-i builds, as you don't need to set up a CD or a mirror. It's also great for testing changes to $RANDOM_UDEB. - Add build-dep on grep-dctrl, used by monolithic image build process. - Add build-dep on bzip2 for powerpc, used by powerpc-builtin-initrd.sh to unpack the kernel tree. - Add build-dep on libparted1.6-0, needed during monolithic build due to versioned dependencies sillyness. -- Joey Hess Wed, 31 Mar 2004 16:43:13 -0500 debian-installer (20040331) unstable; urgency=low * Joey Hess - Add udebs to support pcmcia cdroms to the pkg-lists for isolinux initrd, and to the cd-drivers floppy. - Add the kernel udeb to the root floppy pkg lists. It will be removed from the free dring build, but this will both give us an entry for the kernel in the status file, to prevent anna from doing bad things, and also will provide a System.map for depmod to run against, fixing builds on 2.6 kernels. - Removed the demo type. - Changed make demo and make shell to per-type targets. - Fixed the uml target similarly. - Added a qemu target, currently it can only handle booting floppies. - Remove broken and useless debian-installer-demo package.

This means that netboot users will not have to remember the devfs=mount. - Left devfs=mount in syslinux.cfg anyway, out of general caution. - Add another dh_testroot call before udebs are downloaded. - Document debian-installer/probe/usb=false in syslinux f7.txt. - Docs are now included in the source package. - Remove the INSTALLATION-HOWTO copy hack. - Add docbook, docbook-xml, docbook-xsl, xsltproc to build deps. - Add the installation manual to the image tarballs. - Use svn up in daily-build; we moved to subversion. - Allow passing languages and arches to manual/build/build.sh in env variables. * dann frazier - Fix installs w/ USB keyboards w/ ia64 cdroms. Add input-modules to the pkglist, and fix ia64.cfg, which was pointing at the non-smp kernel.

Needed for USB keyboard. - Add missing usb-discover to ia64 cdrom. - Add a kernel to the demo image type, because this is necessary to get the System.map so depmod will work on 2.6. The kernel is currently included in the demo image; I suppose you could use it somehow, and I didn't want to risk breaking builds by removing it. - Add alpha and s390 to the arch list, in case someone want to try to get them working for the release. * Jeff Bailey - Don't let daily-build fail on unset locales variables. - sparc: New cdrom target. - sparc: rearrange some of the kernel handling. * Bastian Blank - Add cdebconf-text-udeb on s390. - Move hw-detect and bogl-bterm-udeb from common to i386, m68k, mips for demo. * Several updated translations in udebs. -- Joey Hess Sat, 13 Mar 2004 16:10:31 -0500 debian-installer (20040311) unstable; urgency=low * Thiemo Seufer - Fix mini-ISO generation for mips. * Jeremie Koenig - Don't run dpkg-architecture in submakes as that is slow. * Also includes updated udebs, including a fix for the netcfg not run problem. -- Joey Hess Thu, 11 Mar 2004 14:46:14 -0500 debian-installer (20040310) unstable; urgency=low * Christian Perrier - added needed-characters/cy for Welsh * Stephen R.

Not actually used though. -- Joey Hess Tue, 2 Mar 2004 13:28:15 -0500 debian-installer (20040302) unstable; urgency=low * Joey Hess - Switch i386 to the 2.4.25 kernel. - Add libdebian-installer4 to build-deps.

Remove build-dep. - same for libdebian-installer-4-udeb, although it is not currently any smaller - before running mklibs, copy all the libs from lib and usr/lib in the initrd to a temporary directory, and add that to mklib's search path with -L. This will make it avoid copying in large versions of libs from the build system if there is already a small version available in the initrd. - removed the slow, buggy code that added unneccessary and often wrong "-reduced" entries to the status file * Sylvain Ferriol - Add plip-modules to the net_drivers floppy. -- Joey Hess Mon, 23 Feb 2004 20:46:31 -0500 debian-installer (20040209) unstable; urgency=low * Steve Langasek - Use -di flavored kernels for alpha - build-depend on aboot for alpha (needed for making floppies/CDs bootable) - include srm-modules and socket-modules in the alpha initrd - tell d-i that alpha CDROMs don't use a floppy image, just an initrd and kernel - upgrade to 2.4.24 for alpha kernels * Thiemo Seufer - Remove dead apt-get code in the Makefile. - Redesigned build system. Major changes to the configuration handling for all architectures.

Nicholson, and another by Klowner, and still another by Volkan YAZICI. - Make all the syslinux help screens leave graphics mode when displayed. - Hack syslinux.txt so it all fits on one line, the same line as the boot: prompt. - Add ${BOOTPROMPT} expansion to bootscreen-subst, to make it easy to make the last line in a syslinux screen not have a newline at EOF on the image, while still being easily editable. - Switch cdroms from load-installer to load-cdrom. This is to work around limitations in main-menu (see #218774). Driver floppy loading will now be started by cdrom-detect if it fails to find a CD. - Version the mtools build-dep. Closes: #225584 - Let HOST, BASEDIR, or DIR be set in the environment before running daily-build, to override the defaults. - Fix up miniiso creation to fit into the new build system better. - Turn on miniiso creation for netboot, so there is a dest/netboot/mini.iso that behaves the same as a netboot would. - Add a dest/cdrom/debian-cd_info.tar.gz with the syslinux screens and splash image, for eventual use by debian-cd. - Convert the miniiso to use isolinux, to support any size initrd. - Improvements to manifest generation and formatting. * Richard Hirst - ia64: Fix cdrom to autoboot, and tidy up kernel params.

These can be written directly the usb memory stick, then mounted and a d-i iso copied in. As they're quite big (and sparse), they are gzipped. - NB: The above change means you need 128+ mb more free space to build this package on i386. - If System.map is included in the kernel image udeb, pass it to depmod via -F and delete it when done. This is to support building on systems running 2.6. - Remove ide modules stuff from net drivers floppy. I don't know why it was there, but its deps were not met and this could cause ugly messages during install. - Remove the same ide modules from i386 netboot. - Document the bootkbd boot parameter in syslinux f7.txt. - Add "expert" mode boot to syslinux, which sets DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low. - Include a doc/index.en.html in the install-images tarball, so debian-cd will find some documentation and not include the boot floppies docs. - Include INSTALLATION-HOWTO there too, by way of a gross, gross hack. - netcfg reorg - scsi-common-modules reorg - Grep out several encodings that confuse reduce-font: ISO-8859-*, EUC-JP, CP1251. This is a temporary hackaround to get it building again. - Access floppy filled up, so move the network stuff to the access_drivers floppy. That filled up access_drivers, so comment out SCSI support at least for now. - Turn ia64 back on, let's see if it builds now. * Thiemo Seufer - Build the demo tree only for architectures which support it. - Don't build images for the demo target. - Ensure TYPE=demo for the Makefile's demo target. - Remove stamp files for tree and get_udebs at the begin of their rule, create them at the rule's end. - Ignore errors for the all_clean target. - Don't use USERDEVFS for linux-mips. - Fix 'make clean' if type demo is unsupported. * Marco d'Itri - Add preliminary support for .ko kernel modules. -- Joey Hess Sat, 13 Dec 2003 18:44:06 -0500 debian-installer (20031212) unstable; urgency=low * Joey Hess - Switch i386 to using dhcp-client rather than pump for netboot. Left it using pump on other arches that did not already use dhcp-client, at least for now. - Switch i386, hppa, and ia64 to dhcp-client rather than udhcp on the root floppy. - Switch powerpc to pump on the root floppy. - Switch i386 to dhcp-client rather than udhcp on the access floppy. - Switch from pump to dhcp-client on powerpc. - Add disk labels to the i386 floppy images, for use by the bootfloppy initrd, and maybe later by the floppy retreiver, etc. - In debian/rules, if the changelog is unreleased, use unstable as the DISTRIBUTION. - makelabel takes the build date as its second parameter. Calculating BUILD_DATE once at the start to avoid inconsistencies during long/midnight builds. - Add MEDIA_TYPE to configs for bootable image types. - Add DEBIAN_VERSION to config. - Add bootscreen-subst to substitute these variables into boot screens. - Make a syslinux help screen, for all i386 syslinuxed boot media. Includes the build date, debian version, and media type, and is derived from isolinux help texts on the sarge cds, but modified to actually match d-i: - remove boot flavor docs, as we currently have no flavors - remove rescue stuff, as d-i is not currently also a rescue disk - reduce number of colors used for cleaner look - remove mention of non-free - try to make the prerequisites documentation somewhere close to reality -- 64 mb ram and 256 mb disk. - make every boot message screen 22 lines long, followed by a blank line (which is in turn followed by the boot: prompt), for consistent display - remove references in f4.txt to a nonexistant table - remove documentation of mono and vga16:off, as they do not work with d-i - remove keytimer hack documentation, that was for boot-floppies - add documentation of d-i's boot time parameters, including the new debian-installer/framebuffer=false - remove the mailing list subscription info; boot time is not the time to tell the user about this. In its place, make f9.txt be about Debian. - Remove DEBCONF_DEBUG setting from syslinux.cfg. - Use bootscreen-subst on powerpc's boot.msg, too. - Comment out the udeb apt status file stuff in get-packages, now is not the time to be breaking the build with that. - Build depend on elilo on ia64. This had better be the last one. * Goswin von Brederlow - Moved fetching of (u)debs into get-packages shell script. - Changed sources.list to sources.list.udeb, added sources.list.deb. - Allowed "deb file:/..." urls in /etc/apt/sources.list, (Closes: #221031) simplified sed expression and change file to copy urls. - Add explaining error message when apt-get update fails - get-packages: Only seed dpkg status with libs when getting udebs - pkg-lists/cdrom/alpha: missing input-modules-${kernel:Version} - pkg-lists/mirror_udeb: lists for a partial mirror suitable for the CDs - Drop pump-udeb (netboot on alpha, s390 and sparc) in favour of dhcp-client-udeb - debain/control: added Build-Depends: mkisofs - daily-build: changed to copy last days images and rsync new ones - daily-build: don't let the builder wait for logs, use tee - No discover for mips/mipsel - Added arch mips to the debian-installer.deb (Closes: #221534) * Thiemo Seufer - Fix error handling in tftpboot.sh * Chris Tillman - Add DEBCONF_PRIORITY note to powerpc boot message. - Add MacRISC3 & 4 to ofboot.b for compatibility with G4/G5 powerpcs * Mario Lang - Add new boot floppy flavour "speakup" which uses a speakup-enabled kernel version. - Update the access flavour to use the same kernel version as the speakup flavour. - Update the access_drivers common and i386 pkg-list. * Thiemo Seufer - Sanitize tftpboot.sh. It aborts now on errors and won't move/copy files around without good reason. Changed mipsel image generation to t-rex. - Add pkg-lists/netboot/mips. - Add fdisk to the mips/mipsel CD images, add AT keyboard support to mips image. - Add AT keyboard support to mips demo image. - Polish make/arch/linux-mips{,el} a bit. - Switch config/arch/linux-mips to kernel 2.4.22 with -di flavour. -- Joey Hess Thu, 13 Nov 2003 14:39:21 -0500 debian-installer (20031113) unstable; urgency=low * Joey Hess - Add new loop-modules to bootfloppy, hd-media. - Move input-modules from root floppy to bootfloppy, as the new rootskel-bootfloppy prompts for the user to hit enter. - Remove redundant usb-discover and usb-modules from root floppy; the boot floppy takes care of that. - Remove fat-modules and floppy-modules from the root floppy; they boot floppy loads them. - Create DEST before copying in DEST_KERNEL. - ia64 build-depends on dosfstools. Closes: #219919 - sparc build-depends on genromfs. Closes: #220208 - remove brltty from everything except access. It is causing problems (#219928) on sparc at least. - add nic-extra-modules to netboot for i386, as it fits and netboot should support as much as it can - try to get full UTF-8 going on netboot - add nano to netboot * Richard Hirst - Add mtools as a build-dep for ia64 -- Joey Hess Sun, 9 Nov 2003 19:59:13 -0500 debian-installer (20031109) unstable; urgency=low * Richard Hirst - Remove efi-reader from ia64 cdrom pkglist for now; the one in the archive is linked against libdebian-installer3 which is no longer available. - Stop including debootstrap-udeb in cdrom pkg-list for ia64. -- Joey Hess Fri, 07 Nov 2003 22:31:07 +0000 debian-installer (20031106.1) unstable; urgency=low * Enable ia64 in control file. (Build report from Jeff Bailey) * Idempotency fix in debian/rules install. * Put in some stuff to allow for more than one release per day. -- Joey Hess Thu, 6 Nov 2003 15:12:48 -0500 debian-installer (20031106) unstable; urgency=low * Improved the copyright file, decided not to try to list the copyright of every component of the images. * Uppercased the md5sums filename. * New retriever menu setup: - add load-floppy and download-installer to floppy - add load-installer to cdrom, netboot - add load-iso to hd-media - add load-cdrom, hw-detect-full, ide-core-modules, and cdrom-detect to cd_drivers, which is actually usable now * Remove pcmcia-udeb from pkg-lists, hw-detect took over. * Make d-i-demo catch SIGINT, clean up properly. * Fix kernel module package names in udeb_include for driver floppies. * Alastair McKinstry: - Add additional shade characters to fix the scroll bar in the newt frontend. - The terminfo entries are now provided by di-utils-terminfo, not the Makefile. * Richard Hirst: - Misc ia64 fixes - define KERNEL_FLAVOUR, clean up pkglists, etc * Improved the description of debian-installer-demo. Closes: #219255 * Build includes new cdebconf, fixed partconf, fixed bogl-bterm redraw problems, etc, etc. Many other fixes and improvements. -- Joey Hess Thu, 30 Oct 2003 15:12:38 -0500 debian-installer (20031029) unstable; urgency=low * Initial release. * This includes a deb that lets a demo of the installer be run (and triggers autobuilders), but the main payload is the debian-installer-images tarball, which is designed to be unpacked by ftp-master into the ftp site. * Set architecture to i386, powerpc for now. More will be added once d-i works on them well enough to distribute images. -- Joey Hess Wed, 22 Oct 2003 16:16:21 -0400
