Changelog

installation-guide (20150528ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable; LP: #887663.
    - fixes a wrong init script name for dhcpd.  LP: #666726.
    - fixes a typo in the table of memory requirements.  LP: #1030336.
    - drops obsolete mention of 2.6 kernels in keyboard preseeding.
      LP: #1000354.
    - fixes wrong make-kpkg example invocation.  LP: #1019906.
    - fixes stale link to debian-installer subversion repo.  LP: #1233732.
  * Remaining changes:
    - Extensive (although possibly incomplete) Ubuntu branding, adjustments
      for our mirror layout, etc.
    - Build only English (for now, until we figure out how to avoid trashing
      translations quite so badly with Ubuntu branding etc.).
    - Drop build-dependency on poxml for now, since we don't ship any
      translations.
    - Add "Ubuntu and Debian" and "What is Ubuntu?" section, text borrowed
      from the Ubuntu web site. Disable the "What is Debian GNU/Linux?"
      section.
    - Build only Ubuntu architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc,
      ppc64el, s390x).
    - Direct installation reports to ubuntu-users for now.
    - Document mounting /sys in various places.
    - Update chroot-install guide for language packs; add
      a bit more advice about installing grub.
    - Document our root password and sudo arrangements.
    - Adjust various memory and disk space requirements. Talk about the
      default Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu tasks rather than Debian tasks.
    - Document network-console/authorized_keys_url feature
    - Document mirror/udeb/components.
    - Document scheme for preseeding the use of CC.archive.ubuntu.com
      mirrors.
    - Document how to override the weak password check.
    - Document preseeding user-setup's home directory encryption facility.
    - Document new simplified partman preseeding.
    - Document partman-auto-lvm/guided_size.
    - Document partman/default_filesystem.
    - Document live-installer/net-image.
    - Improve examples of tasksel/first preseeding to avoid mentioning
      standard, which is installed by default.
    - Document pkgsel/update-policy.
    - Document pkgsel/updatedb.
    - Document apt-setup/security_path.
    - Disable documentation of win32-loader.
    - Document netboot-style USB images. Still mention the hd-media images,
      but they're downplayed since many USB sticks are too small for a full
      Ubuntu ISO image.
    - Retain delta for commented-out OldWorld Mac support because it's easier
      than reverting it; but at this point OldWorld Macs will almost
      certainly never be supported in Ubuntu or Debian.
    - Remove comments about automatic installation methods that have been
      removed from Ubuntu.
    - Document Kickstart installations.
    - Unset supports-floppy-boot for all our architectures.
    - Don't recommend passing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to
      debootstrap.
    - Document that i586 processors and i686 without cmov are no longer
      supported.
  * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
    - Update keyboard preseeding documentation for console-setup.
    - Replace 'netcfg/disable_dhcp' with 'netcfg/disable_autoconfig'
      throughout.
    - Add a few more supports-floppy-boot and bootable-usb conditionals.
    - Remove some 2.6 kernel specifics.
    - Remove documentation of
      base-installer/kernel/linux/initramfs-generators
    - Update url-us-keymap
    - Replace 'console-setup' with 'keyboard-config' in preseeding.
  * Dropped changes:
    - Rename armel manual to armhf: there are both armel and armhf manuals
      in Debian, and the armel one contains information only relevant for
      non-armhf systems.
    - Documentation of X preseeding: hardware should now be automatically
      detected, and xserver-xorg no longer uses debconf.  LP: #881984.
    - Don't suppress mention of using a CD as an archive even if the
      system doesn't boot from CD; this is very relevant for s390x, for
      instance.
    - Drop comment about Ubuntu desktop CDs, since this manual is not
      applicable to non-di images at all and we no longer have an Ubuntu
      alternate CD.
    - Drop unnecessary delta to debian/rules which causes e.g. preseed
      file to show the wrong target release name.  LP: #1316242.
  * Translate '&debian;' and '&debian-gnu;' xml entities to 'Ubuntu', allowing
    us to significantly reduce the branding delta.
  * Bump names for xenial.
  * Bump kernelversion to 4.3.
  * Disable all the documentation of loadlin, not just half of it.
  * Never enable the "new-arch" status for any Ubuntu archs.
  * Set the archive url dynamically based on the architecture, to cover
    ports.u.c vs. archive.u.c.  LP: #1391019.
  * Revert installation guide changes that say to use /etc/adjtime instead of
    /etc/default/rcS; /etc/adjtime is evilbadwrong and not used in Ubuntu.
  * Don't include information about tasks that Ubuntu doesn't have.

  * Document dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration instead of kbd-config.
  * Add installation-guide-kfreebsd-{i386,amd64} packages.
  * Reference Debian Installer modules documentation from the preseed section
    (Closes: Bug#603159).
  * Move boot parameters subsections from inside the debian installer parameters
    section, to which they don't really belong.
  * Make subsection Installation Over the Network a direct child of Using
    Individual Components instead of hiding it in "Miscellaneous".
  * Rename 6.3.8 "Miscellaneous" into "Troubleshooting".
  * Fix default tftp directory from /var/lib/tftpboot to /srv/tftp, thanks
    Charles Plessy (Closes: Bug#606725).
  * Enable Spanish and Swedish translations (almost up-to-date).
  * Reword i386 and amd64 arch names to be consistent with the corresponding
    release-notes change: Intel x86 → 32-bit PC, AMD64 → 64-bit PC.
  * Add keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap preseed variable.
    (Closes: Bug#599772)

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Update USB stick documentation to reflect isohybird mini.iso files,
    as generated by debian-installer >= 20100913.

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Remove obsolete reference to the replicator package
    Closes: #597983

  [ Maximilian Attems ]
  * Remove obsolete reference to kernel-img.conf

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix "/etc/init.d/dhcpd3-server" typo (should be
    /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server), and unfuzzy all translations (LP: #666726).

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Updated USB stick documentation to describe the much simpler, more
    flexible, and likely more robust use of isohybrid images. All i386
    and amd64 ISO images are now isohybrid.
  * Remove documentation of no longer supported
    grub-installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy preseed. Closes: #610739
