[MoM Merge] mindi 2.24-2ubuntu1

[Stephan Rügamer]

Binary package hint: mindi

Dear Colleagues,

please upload mindi 2.24-2ubuntu1 to hardy.

It's a merge.

Changelog since last ubuntu upload:

mindi (2.24-2ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Modify Maintainer value to match Debian-Maintainer-Field Spec
    - debian/control: changed Recommends to recomment linux-image and not the
      other kernel flavours

 -- Stephan Hermann <email address hidden> Fri, 09 Nov 2007 15:14:51 +0100

mindi (2.24-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Removed unused rootfs/var/log/mondo-archive.log via rules file.
  * Changed LOGFILE in init to /var/log/mondorestore.log to be
    consistent with mondo.
  * Removed non-compliant and unused usr/var directory via rules file.
    Fixes lintian warning.

mindi (2.24-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - changed upstream version 2.2.4 into 2.24 to avoid epoch;
    - all Debian changes integrated upstream apart from:
      - DebFindFailsafe,
      - TryToBeCleverAboutInitrd (mostly integrated, though),
      - IA64/EFI related changes (requires more generic approach);
    - reverted to pre-2.22 ReadAllLink() because new one can yield
      incorrect results, e.g. when /lib64 is a symbolic link as on
      amd64;
    - removed the new check of directory being a link in
      CopyDependenciesToDirectory() because it can give wrong results,
      e.g. when /lib64 is a symbolic link as on amd64.
  * Removed mdrun from deplist.txt to ensure that mdadm rather than the
    obsolete mdrun is used to start RAID devices during restore. Also
    avoids wrong RAID device numbering. Closes: #429308.
  * Replace standard terminfo linux file with the one from the
    ncurses-base Debian package to fix swapped blue and red colors
    during restore.

Please find attached a debdiff from last ubuntu version to the new one.

Looks like a sync to me, not a merge!

The ubuntu changes were:

1) Recommends has been changed from linux-image-2.6-486 | kernel-image-2.6-386 | kernel-image-2.4-386 | linux-image-2.6-amd64 [amd64] | linux-image-2.6-itanium | kernel-image-2.6-itanium | kernel-image-2.4-itanium to linux-image

2) Depends have been changed as follows:

mindi-busybox (>= 1.2.1-2) to mindi-busybox (>= 1.00-6)
syslinux [amd64 i386] to syslinux
elilo [ia64] removed
ms-sys [amd64 i386] to ms-sys

With the new debian release:

1) Can be dropped since linux images are not anymore recommended
2) Can be dropped since:

mindi-busybox amd elilo have been removed as Depends
syslinux and ms-sys are now not arch dependant in Depends

[Stephan Rügamer (sruegamer)]

Hmmm?

When I look at the unmodified debian package of mindi I can see the following:

Architecture: amd64 i386 ia64
Depends: mindi-busybox (>= 1.2.1-2), binutils, bzip2, dosfstools, mkisofs, module-init-tools, syslinux [amd64 i386], elilo [ia64], gawk, parted, ms-sys [amd64 i386], file, nano
Recommends: cpio, mdadm, ntfsprogs, linux-image-2.6-486 | kernel-image-2.6-386 | kernel-image-2.4-386 | linux-image-2.6-amd64 [amd64] | linux-image-2.6-itanium | kernel-image-2.6-itanium | kernel-image-2.4-itanium
Suggests: afio, eject, lzop, less, petris, acl, attr, lilo

which acks my merge as not a sync, right?

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Oh boy, seems like there are control files all over the place (see under distributions). The one from debian is indeed as you say, but I would implement the following changes:

- remove the version change for mindi-busybox (obsolete)
- add the missing changes to changelog
- correct typo in changelog (recomment to recommend)

Last but not least, what is the point in adding linux-image to the list of Recommends?
linux-image is just a meta-package which depends on linux-image-generic, another meta-package which depends on the real linux-image (which also provides linux-image).
This is obviously part of the base installation, so, why adding it as a Recommends!?

Thanks.

[Stephan Rügamer (sruegamer)]

Hi Norsetto,

hmmm? well, the only control file we use is debian/control...not those ones from distributions

The reason why I use linux-image is, that it just catches the already installed kernel on the users system.
The debian kernels you don't want to have in the depends.

the version change for mindi-busybox comes from debian and should be left alone...

the less diversion the better :)

[Stephan Rügamer (sruegamer)]

as discussed on irc...

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

I still had to make few mods to make it acceptable, please check changelog and control.
