Changes: 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.
