Changes: 
 debian-installer (20060711ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low
 .
   * Resynchronise with Debian, based on Subversion trunk as of 20060711
     (20060304, the last release, predates a lot of udeb dependency fixes).
   * Set default suite to edgy.
   * Move to 2.6.17-4 kernels.
   * Disable the graphical installer build targets for now; we'll wait for
     this to mature a bit more in Debian.
   * Fix build/boot/x86/po4a.cfg so that po4a can update all the .po files.
 .
 debian-installer (20060711) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
 .
   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Make sure the Netwinder image doesn't exceed NeTTrom's size limit.
     Closes: #345319.
   * Include essential kernel modules on the Netwinder cdrom initrd.
   * Fix a typo in the Cobalt preseed file.
   * Rename sb1-swarm-bn to sb1-bcm91250a for consistency.
   * Add 2.6 images on mips and mipel.
   * Add support for the Broadcom BCM91480B evaluation board (aka "BigSur").
   * Add support for the SGI O2 (IP32) machines (with R5000 CPU).
   * Put beep-udeb on the NSLU2 initrd so we can notify people when SSH is
     ready.
   * Switch to 2.6.16 kernel on arm.
   * Put the input-modules udeb on the NSLU2 image so the beeper will work.
   * Remove (incomplete) LART and BAST support.
   * Remove 2.4 images on arm.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Split off PRESEED_SUITE from PRESEED, use this for the suite setting
     for development builds, and no longer unset PRESEED for release builds.
     Should fix cobalt issues.
   * Audited the x86 kernel parameter docs in the boot screens vs the 2.6.15
     kernel. Removed documentation for parameters that are not listed in the
     kernel's kernel-parameters.txt, and to a certian extent read the source
     to find places where kernel-parameters.txt is wrong, and removed those
     too. It's probably better to not document things than to document them
     incorrectly.
   * Modified kernel parameter docs to use the module.param=value syntax
     for all parameters that are owned by a loadable kernel module. The old
     param=value at the boot line won't work, since d-i doesn't pass kernel
     command line to modules. The new syntax requires rootskel 1.30 to work.
     (Not sure what module(s) own hd=, didn't change it yet.)
   * Remove docs for how to disable gdth, which harks back to a non-modular
     kernel.
 .
   [ Christian Perrier ]
   * Rename Punjabi related files from pa_IN to pa.
   * Add the list of needed characters for Northern Sami
   * Add the list of needed characters for Thai
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Remove no longer used graphical characters from graphic.utf (formerly used
     in partman).
   * Move graphic.utf to needed-characters.
   * Rename all needed-character files to *.utf to simplify Makefile.
   * Remove 2.6 references from hppa config as 2.6 is now default; keep
     EXTRANAME=2.6/ for now in order to not break debian-cd.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Remove build dep on libdebian-installer4 now that all udeb deps are fixed
   * Update i386 to 2.6.16.
   * Copy library .so links from library-providing udebs into the udeblib
     directory along with the library files, otherwise mklibs doesn't see them.
     (Crossing fingers that this change, which has been tried once before,
     doesn't break something..)
   * Remove build dep on libdebconfclient0 since all relevant udeb deps are
     fixed.
   * Remove libdebconfclient0 from pkg-list/exclude too.
   * Remove build dep on libdiscover1 now that there's a libdiscover1-udeb
     and proper deps. Remove it from pkg-list/exclude too.
   * Correct comment for libbogl-dev build dep.
   * Add mips mipsel arm and armeb to arch list for the module-init-tools build
     dep since they all use 2.6 kernels now.
   * Limit modutils build dep to the arches that still use 2.4 [arm i386 mips
     mipsel powerpc s390 sparc].
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Update sparc to 2.6.16; re-enable 2.6 for sparc32.
   * kbd-chooser 1.25 will no longer use usb-mac keymaps for 2.6 based
     installations if AT keymaps are defined; therefore, no longer include
     usb-mac keymaps in images using a 2.6 kernel. Not touching pkg-lists files
     for mips(el) sb1-bcm91250a as they currently don't include AT keymaps.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Can't find any uses of cdrom-minimal and netboot-minimal, so removing
     those directories from pkg-lists.
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Update powerpc to 2.6.16.
   * Pass -r $(KERNELVERSION) to mkvmlinuz rather than -r $(KERNELMAJOR), so
     that it can tell the difference between 2.6.16 and earlier releases.
   * Build chrp initrds for powerpc64.
   * Restore usb-discover on 2.6 images; according to Martin-Eric Racine it's
     still needed to load usbhid et al on some systems. Plus, it's tiny.
   * Add support for OS-specific pkg-lists entries: use lines like
     "gnumach-udeb [hurd]".
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Comment out nano-udeb and save-logs in the access floppy list to try to
     save space.
   * New usb-serial-modules package added to access floppy, although that
     floppy will now be well oversize.
   * Add kfreebsd and some missing hurd stuff to build dependency info.
     Closes: #363661
   * Remove ide stuff from access floppy, fixing its size problem. Don't know
     why ide stuff was ever on there.
   * Remove USB floppy and keychain support from boot floppy as it was out of
     space.
 .
   [ Kyle McMartin ]
   * Update hppa to 2.6.16.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Also include libs named *.so.* when calling mklibs. Not including those
     results in missing symbols when building the graphical installer.
     Closes: #366441.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Patch from Samuel Thibault to support testing CD-ROM images in qemu.
     Closes: #367068
   * Add documentation for brltty= boot parameter (hope I got it right).
   * Apply Samuel Thibault's patch to add brltty-udeb to the cdrom, netboot,
     nativehd, and hd-media images. Closes: #355851
   * Mark usb-serial-modules added by brltty patch as optional, since they're
     not yet available on all arches.
   * Increase size of the hd-media images from 128 mb to 256 mb to make more
     room for the netinst.
   * Put modutils udebs back on 2.4/2.2 images since new busybox has dropped
     all support for that.
   * Stop building el-torito i386 image, it's too big due to above busybox
     change.
   * i386 floppy is full due to above busybox change, moved half the network
     stuff the the net-drivers floppy, which now must be used for all network
     installs.
   * i386 bootfloppy is broken:
     mount: Couldn't setup loop device
     No idea why. Disabled i386 root and boot floppies. :-(
   * Add EXTRAUDEBS variable which can be used to pull in extra udebs for
     library reduction that are not on boot images.
   * Include cdebconf-newt-entropy in EXTRAUDEBS so that its symbols are in the
     boot images; since it is linked into cdebconf which uses the reduced libc.
   * No more parted build dep; those udeb deps are fixed.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Integrate graphical installer. Closes: #228808.
 .
   [ Steve Langasek ]
   * Drop serial-modules from the alpha images, since this package is empty
     now in 2.6.16 apparently due to drivers being built into the kernel
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Integrate graphical installer on powerpc.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Workaround syslinux weirdness on hd-media images; when asked to boot
     2.6/linux, it tries to boot "2.6/l". Rename files out of directories to
     avoid this; the gtk initrd has the unappetizing name "initrdg.gz".
   * Fix amd64 gtk miniiso build.
   * Switch i386 to 2.6.16-2.
 .
   [ Sven luther ]
   * Switch powerpc to 2.6.16-2 and disable non-working powerpc subarches.
     Closes: #373264.
 .
   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Switch mips to 2.6.16-2.
   * Switch arm to 2.6.16-2.
   * Switch mipsel to 2.6.16-2.
   * Add images for RiscPC (rpc).
   * Remove 2.4 images on mips.
   * Add 2.6 images for DECstation.
   * Remove 2.4 images on mipsel.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Switch sparc and amd64 to 2.6.16-2.
   * graphic.utf: add arrow characters needed for scrollbar display; remove
     unused/duplicate characters.
   * Remove needed_characters files for "level 4" languages (are not supported
     in newt frontend).
   * Rename needed_characters files for prospective languages so they're not
     included yet.
   * Switch hppa to 2.6.16-2.
   * Switch ia64 to 2.6.16-2.
   * Include USB-MAC keymaps again for powerpc with 2.6 kernels; they've been
     re-enabled in kbd-chooser for that architecture.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Switch from using DEBCONF_PRIORITY and sometimes debconf/priority to
     consistently using priority=low to boot to expert mode. Needs preseed
     1.17.
   * Change x86 help screen to document fb=false alias.
   * Remove libtextwrap1 from build deps and pkg-lists/exclude; cdebconf
     now uses the library udeb.
 .
   [ Christian Perrier ]
   * Remove all *.prospective files as all these languages are only used in
     the graphical installer.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Remove mountfloppy from netboot/common list, add it to only arches that
     support floppies.
   * Don't include brltty on the netboot image for nslu2 machines,
     which uses network-console. Actually, I removed it from images for arches
     except for alpha, amd64, i386, ia64, and powerpc, since the other netboot
     images seem to lack serial-modules.
   * Remove local copy of slugimage and use the debian package.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Disable powerpc/apus as the 2.4 kernels it currently uses were removed
     from the archive.
 .
 debian-installer (20060304) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Add build dependency on debian-archive-keyring so that the archive key can
     be checked. Closes: #355098.
 .
 debian-installer (20060302) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Remove floppy-modules udeb again from powerpc root floppy as it seems this
     is not the cause of the problems in #345467.
 .
 debian-installer (20060218) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Steve Langasek ]
   * Add alpha to the list of archs build-depending on module-init-tools,
     now that we're building 2.6.
 .
 debian-installer (20060217) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Add myself to uploaders.
   * Acknowledge bugs closed in previous version which was uploaded as NMU by
     mistake. Closes: #343674, #344854.
   * Add missing build dependency on apt-utils (needed for localudebs handling).
 .
 debian-installer (20060215) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ dann frazier ]
   * Stop using mklibs-copy on ia64, now that #326103 is fixed.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Deal with dpkg-deb output change in udeb version extraction code.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Switch to 2.6.14 kernel for i386 and sparc64.
   * Run with udev by default (2.6 kernels only). This is now required for i386
     and should also work with 2.6.12 kernels for other arches.
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Add slightly more error checking to genbuilddeps.
   * Include rescue-mode in monolithic images.
   * Use pcmciautils-udeb instead of pcmcia-cs-udeb on architectures that
     have moved to kernels newer than 2.6.12.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Make socket-modules kernel udeb optional in pkg-lists, it's going away in
     current 2.6 kernels.
 .
   [ Kurt Roeckx ]
   * Switch to 2.6.14 kernel for amd64.
 .
   [ dann frazier ]
   * Switch to 2.6.14 kernel for ia64.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * No longer use discover and usb-discover for 2.6 based installations (all
     architectures).
   * Include pciutils-udeb for 2.6 based installations (all architectures).
     This brings back display of NIC names when a system has more than one and
     allows save-logs to include lspci info.
   * Update to libdevmapper1.02 in monolithic target.
 .
   [ Christian Perrier ]
   * Add needed-characters for Khmer (1780-17FF range)
   * Add needed-characters for Nepali
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Removed nic-extra-modules, isa-pnp-modules, usb-modules from the netwinder
     netboot image since none should be useful on a netwinder and the netwinder
     has a hard 4 mb limit to the initrd size. Closes: #343674
   * Switch all i386 2.6 images to initramfs.
 .
   [ Sven Luther ]
   * Updated powerpc config to 2.6.14-2 kernels.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Patch from Rod Whitby to support jffs2 generation. Closes: #344854
   * Document the new MKFS_JFFS2 variable.
   * Allow for TEMP_INITRD (and presumably INITRD too) to be theoretically
     changed to something that makes more sense for jffs2 images.
 .
   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Add initial support for BCM947xx mipsel devices but don't activate it.
   * Add 2.6 images for Footbridge (CATS and Netwinder).
   * Add support for NSLU2 devices on arm and armeb.
   * Support SSH installations on Cobalt.
   * Remove code to build xxs1500 images since this was never supported.
   * Reorganize the DECstation tree and put images in sub-dirs.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Switch i386 to the 2.6.15-1 kernel.
 .
   [ Kurt Roeckx ]
   * Switch amd64 to the 2.6.15-1 kernel.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Switch sparc to the 2.6.15-1 kernel.
   * Change build dependency from sysutils to tofrodos as package was split.
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Switch powerpc to the 2.6.15-1 kernel.
 .
   [ Steve Langasek ]
   * Switch alpha to the 2.6.15-1 kernel.
   * Add scsi-common-modules to the alpha cdrom initrd.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Don't drop English translations for S/390 initrds.
   * Also remove Indices-* and Default-* lines when dropping translations.
   * Include sparc-utils-udeb for sbus detection on Sparc 2.6 based installs.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Update hppa to 2.6.15-1 kernel. Completly and utterly untested.
 .
   [ Stephen R. Marenka ]
   * Update m68k to 2.6.15-1 kernel.
   * Add console-keymaps-at to m68k.cfg's to appease kbd-chooser
     (keeps us from getting the console-keymaps-acorn).
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Add missing floppy-modules udeb to powerpc root floppy.
 .
 debian-installer (20051031) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Stephen R. Marenka ]
   * Added amiboot dependency for m68k.
 .
   [ Kurt Roeckx ]
   * Stop building the monolithic target on amd64.
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Only generate /etc/lsb-release if a udeb hasn't already provided it.
   * Move "main/debian-installer" (for sources.list.udeb) to a
     UDEB_COMPONENTS variable in build/config/common, so that people can more
     easily build with e.g. non-free udebs.
   * Include module-init-tools-udeb when using udev; busybox modprobe doesn't
     seem to support enough of newer kernel features like aliases and
     blacklisting to be usable there yet.
   * Use [2.6] for udev pkg-lists instead of kernel_specific.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Switch to root=/dev/ram in syslinux configs to support 2.6.14 post-devfs
     kernels.
   * Did away with the kernel_specific pkg-lists directories.
   * Back to managing localudebs with apt. To support secure apt,
     authentication is disabled and a warning printed if there are any udebs
     in the localudebs directory. During an official build there will not be
     any and the downloaded udebs will be properly authenticated.
   * pkg-list: Turn off debugging as the dep resolutuon stuff is working ok
     now.
