debian-installer (20051026ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.
  * build/config/common: Update for Dapper. Don't use unstable initrd
    preseed file.
  * build/pkg-lists/kernel_specific/2.6/udev: Restore hotplug-udeb and
    grepmap-udeb for now; they'll go away when we switch to 2.6.14 and the
    new udev.
  * debian/control: Drop modutils build-dependency; Ubuntu does not build
    2.4 installer images.
  * build/Makefile: Only create /etc/lsb-release if it isn't in the tree
    already.
  * Update references to ubuntulinux.org in boot screens to be references to
    ubuntu.com instead.
  * Sync up new powerpc64 pkg-lists with powerpc.

debian-installer (20051026) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Add cramfsprogs dependency for mipsel. Closes: #334780
  * Syslinux ignores failures due to being out of disk space (#335152).
    Avoid this bug by running syslinux on the original, empty disk
    image.
  * If the boot logo can't be copied onto a floppy, don't fail, just proceed
    on without a boot logo. Yes, we're that short on space on the i386 boot
    floppies, no more logos for them until space is freed up.
  * Deal with changed case of Kernel-Version fields in stat generation code.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Improve wording of debian-installer binary package description.

debian-installer (20051018) unstable; urgency=low

  [ dann frazier ]
  * Workaround #326103 by using mklibs-copy instead of mklibs on ia64.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Drop hotplug-udeb from udev package list; udev-udeb is sufficient now
    that coldplugging support has been added to it.
  * Build mini.iso images for powerpc and powerpc64 netboot.

 -- Joey Hess <email address hidden>  Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:57:35 -0400

debian-installer (20051017) unstable; urgency=low

  * No source changes, will catch new i386 kernel udebs that fix usb install
    issue.

 -- Joey Hess <email address hidden>  Mon, 17 Oct 2005 19:45:50 -0400

debian-installer (20051014) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use cramfs images on mipsel. Current mipsel binaries compress very well.
    Needs newest mipsel kernel udebs.
  * Drop EXTRALIBS. Use EXTRAFILES, code was the same, and it's not used
    otherwise.
  * Copy in EXTRAFILES before depmod so modules can be included if necessary.
  * Remove libiw udeb from netboot-minimal/powerpc.cfg, will be pulled in by
    mklibs/deps as needed.
  * During library reduction, copy in libraries from driver disks same as
    other libraries so mklibs knows where to find them. This is a hack to
    let mklibs work if building a root floppy with driver disks that include
    libraries that are not on the root floppy. It's not ideal, since the
    library gets added to the root floppy by mklibs now. (This issue currently
    only occurs because netcfg, on the root floppies, is linked statically
    and wireless-tools, on some the driver disks, is not.)
  * Back to building from udebs in etch (yeah, it really works now).
  * Further workaround for #329733.

debian-installer (20051009) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Add the list of needed characters for Sanskrit

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Split manual out into its own top-level directy, and removed it from build
    deps and build system. The debian-installer-manual tracking package is
    replaced by a (currently mostly empty) debian-installer tracking package.

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Remove fdisk-udeb from hppa cdrom images as partman is used now.

debian-installer (20051006) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Bdale Garbee ]
  * patch from Richard Hirst to fix ramdisk size on hppa

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Revert addition of real alternatives for virtual glibc-pic
    build-dependency, since it apparently confuses sbuild on architectures
    without libc6-pic.

debian-installer (20051005) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Bdale Garbee ]
  * updates for hppa support of 2.6.12 kernels

  [ Sylvain Ferriol ]
  * When ONLINE=n, APT must not cleanup lists directory.

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Add preseed-common to all initrds, split out from file/network-preseed.
  * Add initrd-preseed too.
  * Add a PRESEED variable, which can be used to specify a preseed file to
    add to the initrd in the location initrd-preseed expects to find one
    (/preseed.cfg).
  * Default PRESEED to unstable.cfg, which sets mirror/udeb/suite, which
    means that all d-i developmental and daily builds that download udebs
    will download them from unstable, not testing.
  * However, in release builds of the package, this is unset, so those will
    pull udebs from testing as previously.
  * Try adding root=/dev/fd0 to the silo.floppy.conf since at least the 2.4
    kernel floppies are reported to not boot without it. This change may
    also affect the 2.6 kernel floppies, which need to be tested.
    Closes: #301374
  * Make syslinux configs use "install" as the label to install, in
    preparation for rescue mode. "linux" continues to work for
    compatability.
  * Add "install24" and "expert24" labels to syslinux configs, in
    preparation for making i386 use 2.6 by default.
  * Turn on dependency resolution for nic-extra-modules, especially useful
    since it has a new dependency in 2.6.11.
  * Turn on dependency resolution for standard-udebs and
    kernel-module-udebs. This allos most of the mess in monolithic/common
    to be removed as the dependencies pull most of it in, except where
    they're still broken.
  * When preseeding mirror/suite, don't make it be seen, so user can
    override from the default.
  * Recent additions (initrd-preseed) made the el-torito image too big on
    i386, drop usb CD support from it to make it build again.
    Stop abusing the build system in sparc.cfg by pretending that cdrom
    and miniiso are subarches. Add a "combined" subarch for these images
    that really contain both sparc64 and sparc32 support.
  * Included 2.6.8 kernel for amd64. Closes: #307306
  * Add support for creating initramfs initrd images (needs rootskel 1.12).
  * Move /unifont.bgf into lib. Needs rootskel 1.12.
  * Resisted the urge to drop i386 el-torito images, which filled up again
    once 2.6 fb-modules was fixed, and instead just dropped all translations
    from these (unused) images.
  * Add rescue-check to all images.
  * Add rescue, rescue24, and rescue26 boot options in syslinux.
  * To document these in syslinux, removed the old, useless f9.txt, and
    shifted f4 through f8 up one; the new f4 documents rescue mode.
  * Updated one place in the manual that referred to fn documents to reflect
    above change.
  * Document rescue mode in ia64 boot screens, but don't add stanzas for it
    since that would go over the limit of 16. Users will have to type
    rescue/enable=true
  * Add stanzas for rescue mode and document in sparc boot screen.
  * Remove devfs=mount from syslinux.cfg. Needs rootskel-bootfloppy 1.13.
  * Use dependency resolution for floppy-retriever, since mountfloppy has
    been split off of it and into a dependency.
  * Add bugreporter-udeb to the i386 root floppy, to cdrom images, and even
    to netboot images, so users can use it to report bugs earlier. Add
    commented out versions to other images on which it won't be very useful,
    since it currently required floppy support.
  * Update the manual for the /var/log/debian-installer ->
    /var/log/installer move.
  * Update the manual for the bugreporter-udeb rename, and for its
    new capailities.
  * Add an /etc/lsb-release file to the initrd, which includes the image
    build date. Useful for determining the provenance of an image.
    Closes: #250321
  * bugreporter-udeb got renamed and is now on more images.
  * Remove redundant rootskel entry from access floppy's package list.
  * Add mountfloppy to each initrd that contains save-logs, except for the
    s390 generic one. save-logs can now drop its dependency on mountfloppy.
  * Make the image tarball be listed as raw-installer in the changes file.
  * Switch to localechooser.
  * Drop all translations from the m68k floppy, which filled up when
    localechooser was added to it, since it didn't have countrychooser on it
    before.
  * Add new env-preseed to base pkg-list.
  * Turn of dpkg logging during image building. Need to depend on new dpkg
    for this.
  * Add support for virtual packages to pkg-lists.
  * Set DEBIAN_VERSION to etch.
  * Switch from hw-detect-full to disk-detect.
  * Updates for libiw28. 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. This will be used to
    ensure that sources for d-i images do not fall out of the archive.
  * Copyright file updates for 2005.
  * Fix manual to note that linux supports HFS+. Closes: #313488
  * Unset LANG in chroot call in chroot-install section of manual.
    Closes: #311704
  * ia64 does not support rarp, remove from manual. Closes: #250028
  * Document deconf-set-selections -c to check preseed files. Closes: #284289
  * Try to pass appropriate manual_release when building the manual in rules
    file.
  * Switch to slang2.
  * Switch from busybox-cvs to busybox.
  * New busybox supports 2.6 modules, so the hack with modutils-udeb is not
    needed anymore.
  * Add isolinux.cfg files to the debian-cd-into tarball, so that we
    don't have to maintain the same stuff in debian-cd.
  * Switch i386 images that contain a 2.6 kernel to boot 2.6 by default,
    install24 etc boot 2.4.
  * Allow apt to run unauthenticated in offline mode since it may not have
    cached a Release.gpg.
  * di-utils-bootfloppy removed, pipe_progress moved to busybox.

  [ Kurt Roeckx ]
  * Changed libdevmapper1.00-udeb to libdevmapper1.01-udeb in the monolithic
    package list. Closes: #306976
  * Change amd64 kernel from 2.6.8-10 to 2.6.8-11.
  * Do not install nano in the monolithic target.
  * Change amd64 kernel from 2.6.8-11 to 2.6.12-1.

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * Add the list of needed characters for Kazakh
  * Add the list of needed characters for Vietnamese
  * Add the list of needed characters for Wolof
  * Add the list of needed characters for Bengali
  * Add the list of needed characters for Kurdish
  * Add the list of needed characters for Georgian
  * Add the list of needed characters for Icelandic
  * Add the list of needed characters for Hebrew
  * Add the list of needed characters for Kannada
  * Add the list of needed characters for Tamil
  * Complete the list of needed characters for Persian with the help of
    Arash Bizanjadeh and Eugenyi Meshcheryakov
  * build/Makefile: include xx_YY files from needed-characters to all.utf
    and not only xx files

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Force HOME=$(TEMP) for hfsutils calls throughout powerpc
    hd_media_common target.
  * Ship yaboot with powerpc hd-media images.
  * Add rescue stanzas to yaboot configuration files.
  * Document raised kernel command-line limits in 2.6.9.
  * Remove devfs=mount from yaboot configuration files. It shouldn't be
    needed any more.
  * Don't remove modules.*map from the initrd if we're using real hotplug.
  * Use the kernel-specific discover and isa-pnp-modules include files
    rather than explicitly listing those udebs throughout pkg-lists.
  * Make a note about another possible cause for 'locale charmap' being
    wrong during font generation, since it confused me for days ...
  * Document new-style timezone preseeding, available from base-config
    2.65.
  * Document rescue mode in the manual.
  * Remove historic manual files from (variously) woody and the old build
    system.
  * Copy KEYRING into the initrd, as /usr/share/keyrings/archive.gpg. I'm
    relying on the keyring being small here, although we should really have
    a keyring udeb instead.
  * Build-depend on gnupg; apt requires it to verify signatures.
  * Add udev pkg-lists files (including both udev and hotplug); not used by
    default yet.
  * Add real alternatives for virtual glibc-pic build-dependency.
  * Remove powerpc-builtin-initrd.sh and corresponding bzip2
    build-dependency on powerpc; we use mkvmlinuz everywhere now.
  * Keep modules.alias in udev/hotplug builds; new coldplug udev needs it.

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Fix logic error in build/util/pkg-list to get rid of incorrect warnings
    about missing lists.
  * Add build dependencies needed to build PDF/TXT versions of the manual.
  * Make main build script for the manual fail on errors.
  * Introduce cascading stylesheet for the HTML version of the manual.
  * Modify build depends to allow openjade1.3 as well as openjade.
  * Add appendix on installing over plip, contributed by Sylvain Ferriol;
    edited by Frans Pop.
  * Document network-console in manual.
  * Switch sparc to 2.6.12 kernel, dropping 2.6 support for sparc32 as there
    is no 2.6.12. kernel available.
  * Update silo configurations to properly support install, expert and rescue.
  * Enable building both 2.4 and 2.6 images for sparc CDs.
  * Split preseeding example in manual into seperate files for Sarge and Etch;
    the differences were getting too great for a single file.

  [ Martin Michlmayr ]
  * Add support for rescue mode to mipsel/cobalt.
  * Rename the default target of {mips,mipsel}/sb1-swarm-bn from
    'installer' to 'install' in compliance with other arches.
  * Add support for rescue mode to {mips,mipsel}/sb1-swarm-bn.

  [ Stephen R. Marenka ]
  * m68k tools rework.
  * incorporate boot/m68k/amiga scripts in tools.
  * initial support for future penguin and amiboot packages.
  * drop 2.2 kernel support for everything but macs.

  [ Eddy Petrisor ]
  * Removed ASCII characters from needed-characters/vi

  [ David Nusinow ]
  * Add attribution to Karsten M. Self for chroot-install section of the
    manual. Closes: #316487

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Switch i386 to 2.6.11 kernel.
  * Add file-preseed to netboot image so file-based preseeding can be used on
    netboot mini iso.
  * Remove file-preseed from netboot; that won't work since netboot never
    mounts a CD, duh.
  * Enable text frontend for netboot on all arches.
  * Aribitrarily increased sparc ramdisk_size to 9000 from 8192, since
    it's at least 8230 big now due to added languages.
  * Build-depend on newest libdebian-installer as some udebs have a versioned
    dependency on it.
  * Switch i386 to 2.6.12 kernel.
  * Add support for running upx on binaries inside the initrd, and turn it
    on for a marginal space gain in the (full) i386 boot floppy.
  * Remove usb floppy support from speakup boot floppy since it's terminally
    low on space.
  * Add comments to control file about build deps and add genbuilddeps which
    generates the build dep line based on the comments.
  * As part of the review, removed ncurses-base (not used since we got the
    terminfo udeb), and libnewt0.51 (pulled in by a dep from libnewt-dev)
    and cpio (WTF?)

  [ dann frazier ]
  * Switch ia64 to 2.6.12 kernel.

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Turned on dependency resolution by default for udebs in pkg-lists.
  * Add libnss-files-udeb to exclude list to work around bug #322506
    (removed again as #322506 was fixed and the exclusion broke
     network-console for S/390 - FJP).
  * Optimise pkg-lists a bit.
  * rootskel-locale renamed to installation-locale.
  * Move md5sums and udeb.list generation into "release" target of
    build/Makefile and run these as part of the daily build too.
  * Cleaned up various userdevfs cruft, goes along with a reworked
    userdevfs udeb.
  * As part of userdevfs cleanup, removed m68k initrd22 images,
    the regular initrds should work wih 2.2 kernels.
  * Add ads subarch for arm, with a "cf" image flavour used to boot
    various ADS arm boards from compact flash. 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.

  [ Sven Luther ]
  * Enabled powerpc64 support.
  * Killed all 2.4 powerpc kernels except apus.
  * Upgraded to 2.6.12 powerpc kernels.

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * Change dependency to libparted1.6-13 due a new soname change on parted
    1.6.24.

  [ Dann Frazier ]
  * Drop the Linux 2.4 support for ia64.

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Temporarily disabled powerpc floppy builds since they depend on miboot
    kernel udebs that are not in the archive.
  * Temporarily made it build against udebs in sid when releasing this
    package, since it's taking too long to get udebs into etch for a release.
