Description: 
 os-prober  - utility to detect other OSes on a set of drives
Launchpad-Bugs-Fixed: 14780
Changes: 
 os-prober (1.20) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Skip grub-installer's "(on /dev/blah)" entries detected in GRUB
     configuration files, as if they're useful they will probably be found by
     another probe, and detecting them can result in exponential growth of
     menu.lst files if you do repeated test installs on multiple partitions.
   * Use readlink -f in mapdevfs shim so that os-prober runs outside d-i
     handle mount-by-UUID correctly.
   * Use mktemp -d rather than /tmp, to make use outside d-i safer.
   * Merge from Ubuntu:
     - Try to install fs-core-modules and fs-secondary-modules udebs. These
       are specific to the Ubuntu kernel udeb layout, but it's fairly cheap
       to check for them as well and saves on divergence here.
     - Add os-probes/mounted/sparc/80solaris to recognize Solaris/SPARC
       (Fabio M. Di Nitto).
     - Add linux-boot-probes/mounted/sparc/50silo support (Fabio M. Di
       Nitto).
     - Try to load ufs module, for Solaris support (Fabio M. Di Nitto).
     - Tighten check for whether we're running in d-i; anna-install isn't
       quite enough because if you're running d-i code outside d-i it's
       sometimes reasonable to install a shim for anna-install.
   * Don't probe partitions mounted on /target/boot.
   * Teach linux-boot-prober to deal with mounted partitions correctly,
     unless they're mounted on /, /target, or /target/boot (LP: #14780). This
     should largely obsolete the --mounted option.
   * Only use /target/bin/mount if it exists, in order to work better outside
     d-i.

 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Make the microsoft OS test completely case-insensative in the file and
     directory named it looks for. This is reportedly needed at least for
     Vista (Boot/BCD vs boot/bcd), and was already done on an ad-hoc basis
     for 2000/XP/NT4.0.
   * Patch from VMiklos to add support for recognising Frugalware.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Skip partitions on a physical disk that is part of a Serial ATA RAID disk.
   * Use log-output when checking for volume groups.
   * Also use the case insensitive test for Dell Utility partition detection.
 .
   [ Fabio M. Di Nitto ]
   * Skip partitions that have the "whole_disk" sysfs attribute set.
     The kernel set the attribute for partitions like SUN Whole Disk.
     These partitions that encompass the whole disk can be mounted
     and often confused for the first partition on the disk.
     In situations where the OS is on the first partition, it would be
     detected twice in the first and the whole disk partition.
