Changelog
debian-installer (20100211ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Ubuntu branding of various kinds.

- Various boot screen text adjustments.
- Add cli boot options.
- Add memtest boot option.
- Add live CD boot screens.
- Adjust memory size recommendations.
- Document pci=noacpi.
- Add translatable boot screen text for gfxboot. Adjust existing text
to refer to gfxboot UI where appropriate.
- Use ubuntu-keyring-udeb (and gpgv-udeb) instead of the Debian archive
keyring.
- Switch all images to initramfs.
- Add netboot images suitable for USB memory sticks.
- Remove floppy support, since it never used to work with 2.6. (This
may be fixed in the future.)
- Add kickseed-common and initrd-kickseed to all images containing
preseed-common and initrd-preseed.
- Add nfs-modules to all netboot images except powerpc, for Kickstart.
- kbd-chooser -> console-setup.
- Include keymap decision tree in all.utf.
- Replace cdebconf-newt-entropy with cdebconf-newt-detect-keys in
EXTRAUDEBS.
- Add hdparm-udeb to cdrom images.
- Add nic-firmware to netboot images and scsi-firmware to cdrom and
hd-media images.
- Make scsi-firmware optional.
- Add oem-config-check to all images.
- Ship elilo configuration on i386 for Intel-based Macs.
- Use mkvmlinuz's fallback object files on powerpc rather than relying
on the kernel's.
- Use ${RAMDISK_SIZE} in sparc's silo.conf rather than a hardcoded size.
- Add input-modules to the sparc netboot image.
- Remove auto-install/ai-choosers targets, at least for now.
- Switch i386 builds to the -generic kernel flavour.
- Add a new netboot/386 build for i386 that uses the -386 kernel
flavour.
- Publish separate kernel and initrd for sparc64 netboot.
- Don't use win32-loader on Ubuntu.
- Take /usr/share/localechooser/languagelist.data.gz into account when
building reduced font.
- Make speakup-modules optional, as we don't have it in Ubuntu yet.
- Make serial-modules optional on ia64; it's currently built-in.
- Make some modules optional on armel that are built into the kernel.
- Support USE_UDEBS_FROM_EXTRA configuration variable to fetch udebs
from some extra suites as well as the main one (USE_UDEBS_FROM).
Useful for stable release updates.
- Make nic-usb-modules optional on ia64.
- Make acpi-modules and ipv6-modules optional, since they're now built
in on mainline architectures.
- Pad the nslu2 kernel to 16 blocks rather than 11, so that the Ubuntu
kernel fits.
- Make nic-modules optional on armel/versatile.
- Introduce the armel dove, imx51, and omap subarchitectures; drop
iop32x, ixp4xx, kirkwood, orion5x, and ads.
- Remove CD-specific language from boot screens.
- Add util-linux-udeb to base, for blkid.
- Add pcmcia-modules to hd-media images.
- Set KERNELNAME to vmlinuz and VERSIONED_SYSTEM_MAP to the empty string
for armel subarchitectures.
- Add a 512*50-byte padding file to the powerpc64_netboot mini.iso image
tree, to avoid a genisoimage segfault at certain tree sizes.
- Use mklibs-copy on amd64. I'm not quite sure what's wrong here, and
it needs further investigation.
- Slightly increase the netboot initrd size for powerpc.
- Add vlan-udeb to netboot images.
* Set default suite to maverick.
* Move to 2.6.34-3 kernels.
* Switch back to vga=normal rather than vga=788 for now; the latter will
cause problems until such time as fbcon is built into Ubuntu kernels,
and it at least doesn't seem to work in kvm at the moment.
* Remove multiarch (amd64-on-i386) syslinux configuration files.
* Don't install separate desktop syslinux configuration files; we don't
use them in Ubuntu.
debian-installer (20100211) unstable; urgency=low
[ Frans Pop ]
* Major update of Debian Installer Internals document.
* Move menu-item-numbers.txt and available-hooks.txt to D-I Internals.
* Exclude localechooser, kbd-chooser and auto-install for all installs
of type network-console.
* armel/orion5x: drop some additional languages as the image is too large.
* Drop languages only supported in graphical installer by default and only
keep them for targets that build graphical installer images.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Do not list dhcp3-client-udeb in pkg-lists since it is added, when
needed, as dependency in netcfg.
debian-installer (20100122) unstable; urgency=low
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* debian/copyright: clarify it is licensed in GPL 2 or later.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Include contents of fosdem07 talk as a tarball instead of loose files as
they confuse Lintian.
* get-packages: correctly restore original Packages files when script exits
after they have been filtered.
* x86: only include gtk related syslinux files in the cd_info tarball for
debian-cd if we're building both text and gtk images.
* Bump debhelper compat to 6; bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3.
* gen-sources.list.udeb: also use any mirrors defined in files in the
/etc/apt/sources.list.d directory; /etc/apt/sources.list can be empty.
* gen-sources.list.udeb: allow for multiple spaces and tabs in a source line.
* Remove unused references to socket-modules from pkg-lists.
* Drop no longer needed versioned build dependency on dpkg.
[ Aurelien Jarno ]
* Build GNU/kFreeBSD images using grub-mkrescue instead of grub-image,
using patch from Robert Millan.
[ Samuel Thibault ]
* Add hurd-i386 configuration files.
* Add mtools, win32-loader, and grub-pc build-dependency on hurd-i386 too.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Upgrade to debhelper v7.
debian-installer (20091215) unstable; urgency=low
[ Colin Watson ]
* Merge from Ubuntu:
- Document new $default_filesystem substitution and
$default_filesystem{ } internal specifier in partman recipes.
* Initial changes to target squeeze (see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2009/01/msg00682.html for its
version number).
* Add cdebconf-newt-terminal to most images that include
cdebconf-newt-udeb (although not floppies).
* Introduce *_SUPPORTED_EXTRA variables, which can be used to define
"optional" supported targets. Use this to allow monolithic to be built
without having to edit configuration files and without bloating official
builds.
* Use os-prober-udeb rather than os-prober for powerpc monolithic target
(thanks, Wartan Hachaturow).
* Filter udeb dependencies based on Kernel-Version and Subarchitecture
(closes: #490634).
* Filter out packages that don't match KERNELVERSION from downloaded
Packages files. Despite the above change, apt still seems to want to
pull in multiple providers of virtual packages, which causes problems
otherwise.
* Clear Dir::Etc::sourceparts in build/util/pkg-list, to match
build/util/get-packages.
* Fix spelling of mdcfg in menu-item-numbers.txt.
* Update menu-item-numbers.txt to account for architectures moving towards
partman, and the merge of lvmcfg and mdcfg into partman-lvm and
partman-md respectively.
* Remove mention of autopartkit, removed in r52272.
* Update design.txt to account for base-config's removal (!).
* Add some notes on recommended use of debhelper in d-i, based on my
conversion of most packages to dh(1).
* Update porting.txt for partman changes (default_disk_label moved to
partman-partitioning/lib/disk-label.sh).
* Update references to svn.d-i.alioth.debian.org to refer to
svn.debian.org instead.
* cdebconf has had the PROGRESS extension nearly forever; update
retriever.txt to mention it.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Remove support for the old arm port.
* Convert the Thecus N2100 image to an initramfs.
* Include minix-modules on the orion5x image for the D-Link DNS-323,
thanks Matt Palmer.
* Generate images for the D-Link DNS-323 and Conceptronic CH3SNAS,
thanks Matt Palmer. Closes: #503040.
* Use the 2.6.29 kernel on armel, mips and mipsel.
* Use the 2.6.30-2 kernel on armel.
* Add images for the Marvell Kirkwood platform, including support for:
- QNAP TS-119, TS-219 and TS-219P
- Marvell OpenRD-Base and OpenRD-Client
- Marvell SheevaPlug
* Change the MAC address stored in the u-boot environment on the QNAP
TS-119, TS-219 and TS-219P.
* Remove Broadcom SWARM (sb1-bcm91250a) support since since few devices
remain out there and debian-installer support is likely broken anyway.
* Remove Broadcom Bigsur (sb1a-bcm91480b) support since debian-installer
support never worked.
[ Wartan Hachaturow ]
* Add CHRP boot structure on ISO images, Closes: #411728, #411203.
* Add monolithic support for powerpc64.
* Use 2.6.29 kernel on powerpc/powerpc64.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Bump kernels to use new 2.6.26-2 kernels.
[ Christian Perrier ]
* Add needed characters for Kirghiz.
* Take care to drop System.map after moving the kernel to the top of the
tree and before removing the /boot directory there.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Drop support for the ppc64 architecture.
[ Stephen R. Marenka ]
* Move m68k to 2.6.29-1.
[ dann frazier ]
* Use 2.6.29-2 kernel on ia64.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Switch to 2.6.29-2 kernel for hppa.
[ Ian Campbell ]
* Add netboot-xen images for amd64.
* Add cdrom-xen images for i386 and amd64.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Switch to 2.6.29-2 kernel for amd64 and i386.
[ Aurelien Jarno ]
* Use back mklibs instead of mklibs-copy on mips and mipsel now that
they work again.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Implement version 2.0 of syslinux framework for x86. Basically this
backports the structure already implemented in debian-cd before the
release of Lenny to D-I (allowing to simplify the code in debian-cd).
Main changes:
- enhance templates to support selecting a default desktop environment
- support four types of syslinux configuration by setting SYSLINUX_CFG
- allow to define alternative default desktop environment (DESKTOP)
- split out rescue options as those are independent of desktop selection
- simplify setting correct directory to kernel/initrd for debian-cd
* Using the new framework, users can now also select an alternative desktop
environments from the boot menu for netboot/miniiso-based installs.
* sparc: display message for unsupported subarchitectures (mini.iso).
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Update alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc and sparc
to 2.6.30-1.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Update s390 to 2.6.30-1 using -s390x (64-bits) kernel.
* Use printf instead of 'echo -en' to create win32-loader.ini.
Closes: #539933.
[ Max Vozeler ]
* build/Makefile: Support ROOTCMD with fallback to fakeroot unless
overriden or already running as root.
[ Luca Favatella ]
* Handle libc0.1 (GNU/kFreeBSD) and libc0.3 (GNU/Hurd) as libc6/libc6.1.
* Add ufs1 initrd support. Thanks to Robert Millan and Thorsten Glaser.
* Add kfreebsd-i386 monolithic config files. Thanks to Robert Millan.
* Use arch independent code for LSB_DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION.
* Use grub to boot kfreebsd-* d-i CD. Thanks to Robert Millan.
* Use makefs to generate the image. Thanks to Thorsten Glaser.
[ Aurelien Jarno ]
* Add kfreebsd-i386 netboot config files.
* Add kfreebsd-amd64 config files.
* Share code between kfreebsd-*
* Add a splash screen for kfreebsd-*.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Move hppa, i386, amd64, alpha, mipsel, s390, ia64, mips, powerpc
and sparc to Linux kernel 2.6.31-2 ABI.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Change default video mode for i386/amd64 to vga=788 for installations
using the "newt" frontend. This forces the framebuffer to VESA and will
thereby solve problems reported on various HP notebooks with the vga16fb
driver. It also increases the screen size and thus allows more information
to be displayed. Closes: #471505.
* [s390] Add localechooser to initrd for generic target (see #316006).
* Implement clean method to include udebs from proposed-updates for builds
for stable and testing.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Remove upx from build-deps, has not been used for over a year.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Disable GTK+ based images due #557387. This ought to be reverted
once GTK+ DFB backend is fixed.
debian-installer (20090123) unstable; urgency=low
[ Frans Pop ]
* Add build dependency on docbook-xml, needed for D-I internals.
debian-installer (20090122) unstable; urgency=low
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Fix off-by-one: the QNAP initrd should be padded to exactly 4 MB,
not 4 MB - 1 byte.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Add pata-modules on cdrom images (i386 and amd64) to enable support
for Marvell controllers and others.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Update minimum memory/diskspace requirements in x86 syslinux help
screens. New values are the same as in the Installation Guide.
[ Samuel Thibault ]
* Add uinput-modules to cdrom, netboot and hd-media images (amd64, alpha,
i386, ppc64, ia64 and powerpc) to improve brltty device support.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Apply patch from Jurij Smakov to add usb-storage to cdrom and netboot
images (sparc) to allow firmware to be loaded from a usb devices.
Closes: #505789.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Add option in syslinux configuration to return to graphical boot menu
from the help screens. Based on research done by Franklin Piat.
Closes: #505750.
* Rename syslinux adamd*.cfg files to amdad*.cfg.
* Rename syslinux *text.cfg files to *txt.cfg. This is needed because
adamdtext.cfg is one character too long which means it was never actually
included in the menu for multi-arch images.
[ Franklin Piat ]
* Add help text for help option in graphical syslinux boot menu to indicate
how to return to the menu from the help screens.
The new configuration also improves editing the command line from the
graphical syslinux menu if it flows over into a second line.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Add ext2-modules to hd-media images for i386, amd64 and powerpc.
Closes: #510015.
* Update copyright to 2009.
