 debian-installer - Debian installer
Closes: 401603 402276 403195 403895 404485 408535 409747
Changes: 
 debian-installer (20070308ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
 .
   * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
     - Ubuntu branding of various kinds.
     - Use Ubuntu kernels. Various tweaks for different udeb splits.
     - Fetch distribution name and version number from lsb_release.
     - Use the full version number in image directories.
     - Build-depend on belocs-locales-bin.
     - Various boot screen text adjustments.
     - Add server boot options.
     - Add memtest boot option.
     - Add live CD boot screens.
     - Adjust memory size recommendations.
     - Document pci=noacpi.
     - Add translatable boot screen text for gfxboot.
     - Use ubuntu-keyring-udeb (and gpgv-udeb) instead of the Debian archive
       keyring.
     - Switch all images to initramfs.
     - Add netboot images suitable for USB memory sticks.
     - Remove floppy support, since it never used to work with 2.6. (This may
       be fixed in the future.)
     - Disable GTK frontend.
     - Add kickseed-common and initrd-kickseed to all images containing
       preseed-common and initrd-preseed.
     - Add nfs-modules to all netboot images except powerpc, for Kickstart.
     - kbd-chooser -> console-setup.
     - Include keymap decision tree in all.utf.
     - Replace cdebconf-newt-entropy with cdebconf-newt-detect-keys in
       EXTRAUDEBS.
     - Add bootchart-udeb to all images.
     - Add hdparm-udeb to cdrom images.
     - Add nic-firmware to netboot images and scsi-firmware to cdrom and
       hd-media images.
     - Ship elilo configuration on i386 for Intel-based Macs.
     - Use mkvmlinuz's fallback object files on powerpc rather than relying
       on the kernel's.
     - Remove sparc32.
     - Use ${RAMDISK_SIZE} in sparc's silo.conf rather than a hardcoded size.
     - Add input-modules to the sparc netboot image.
     - Remove auto-install/ai-choosers targets, at least for now.
     - Switch i386 builds to the -generic kernel flavour.
     - Add a new netboot/386 build for i386 that uses the -386 kernel
       flavour.
   * Set default suite to gutsy.
   * Move to 2.6.22-5 kernels.
   * Remove pci=noacpi documentation from the install CD case (though not
     from the live CD), as there's no space for it on the boot screens any
     more.
   * Make scsi-firmware optional, since linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22 doesn't
     build it yet.
   * Add ubuntu-modules to all images containing nic-modules.

 debian-installer (20070308) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Thiemo Seufer ]
   * Add Qemu mips/mipsel images, thanks Aurelien Jarno.
 .
   [ Sylvain Ferriol ]
   * Add keyboard usb packages in i386 root floppy and move all net packages
     to i386 net-drivers-1 floppy.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Switch font used for Dzongkha in g-i to ttf-tmuni.
 .
   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Provide a properly encrypted firmware image for Thecus N2100 so the
     firmware upgrade process will recognize it.  Thanks to Kurt Roeckx
     for help with OpenSSL.
   * Remove incomplete armeb support.
   * Remove obsolete arm/nslu2 config files.
   * Switch arm, mips and mipsel to 2.6.18-2.
   * Switch arm, mips and mipsel to 2.6.18-3.
   * n2100: Add support for Evesham's M-Box.
   * Put in a workaround to support building with both apex 1.4.7 and the
     new 1.4.14 which changes the name of the apex binary; closes: #409747
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Stop using the system status file; generate a dummy status file for apt
     containing libc6 and libnewt (the only two debs udebs still depend on).
   * dhcp3-client-udeb is for some reason Standard priority, so gets included
     in monolithic image builds (and breaks the build). Exclude it from the
     monolithic images until its priority is fixed.
   * The i386 boot floppy will be too big with the 2.6.18 kernel, so drop
     usb input modules from it. USB keyboard support didn't work before
     anyway AFAICS, since usb-discover was not included.
   * With 2.6.18, nic-extra-modules gets too big to fit on the i386
     net-drivers-1 floppy with nic-modules. Move nic-extra-modules to
     net-drivers-2 and reorg to fit.
   * Don't exclude usb drivers from driver floppies; the root floppy does not
     currently load them.
 .
   [ Sven Luther ]
   * Switch powerpc to 2.6.18-2.
   * Add a prep flavour.
   * Add fancontrol modules to cdrom and netboot images for powerpc64.
 .
   [ Thiemo Seufer ]
   * Fix tftpboot.sh for mips/r5k-ip32.
 .
   [ dann frazier ]
   * Switch ia64 to initramfs.
   * Make the default boot option on ia64 "Install" for consistency with x86.
   * Add rescue boot option on ia64.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Switch i386 to 2.6.18-3.
   * Apply patch from Alex Owen to fix serial console support for grub in the
     installed system (#224641).
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Add time to image build date, and set build date to UTC (was local
     time before).
   * Etch will be Debian 4.0.
 .
   [ Stephen R. Marenka ]
   * Add preliminary network-console support to m68k.
   * Switch m68k to 2.6.18-3.
   * Add back the atari subarch and the floppy initrd.
   * Add emile to build-deps.
 .
   [ Steve Langasek ]
   * Switch alpha to 2.6.18-3.  Now with support for TITAN systems, huzzah!
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Switch powerpc to 2.6.18-3.
   * Document new GET_MAX_PRIMARY command in partman-base 99.
 .
   [ Dann Frazier ]
   * Switch ia64 to 2.6.18-3.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Switch amd64, hppa, sparc and s/390 to 2.6.18-3.
   * On amd64 we temporarily need to include /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 in g-i initrds
     to work around #373253 until upstream can remove pthread_cancel() calls in
     directfb. Because of the Etch release this is implemented for now by
     setting EXTRAFILES in the relevant files under config/amd64.
   * daily-build: keep file attributes between build targets if fakeroot is
     used. Closes: #401603.
   * Raise minimal memory requirement in boot help screens on x86 to 32MB.
     Closes: #402276.
   * Makefile: don't strip "Choices-C" fields from templates if DROP_LANG is set
     (see #400263).
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Copy the keyring from debian-archive-keyring into images (was using the
     old keyring from apt). Build-depend on a current version of
     debian-archive-keyring for good measure.
   * Fix stripping of kernel modules by Makefile, was broken due to bogus find
     command.
   * /etc/apt/trusted.gpg can't be guaranteed to be readable, and the udeb
     download will fail to verify if it's not. Avoid this by making apt use
     KEYRING.
 .
   [ dann frazier ]
   * Add scsi-common-modules to pkg-lists/cdrom/ia64.cfg. sym53c8xx.ko is in
     this package, which is needed for scsi cd-roms in machines like the
     HP rx7620 (closes: #403895)
   * Add relocatable flag to elilo.conf for ia64 - this is required when booting
     on Altix systems, though it cannot be used with 2.4 kernels
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Remove udev-udeb from the ADS cf image.
   * Rename gtk-miniiso targets to netboot-gtk, and place the resulting files
     under the netboot/gtk/ directory. Add full set of netboot files for the
     gtk image, not just the mini.iso. The gtk-miniiso directories are kept
     working via symlinks for now, so that we won't have to update the docs so
     late in the release process. Closes: #408535
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Update general copyright notices for Debian and Debian Installer to 2007.
   * Switch all architectures to 2.6.18-4.
 .
   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Update mips/mipsel boot configs to refer to 2.6.18-4.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Add support for armel. Symlink most arm configs to avoid duplication.
   * Add libgcc1 to the udeb exclude list, and add a dummy item for it to the
     status file. This supports armel, which already uses glibc 2.5, and will
     be needed later when other arches switch to it.
 .
   [ Gordon Farquharson ]
   * Enable users to select a timezone on arm/ixp4xx, arm/iop32, and
     mipsel/cobalt. Closes: #403195.
   * Include the IXP4xx Ethernet driver on the initrd now that oldsys-preseed
     will choose the correct device depending on whether the NPE microcode
     is available.
 .
   [ Steve Langasek ]
   * Add fb-modules to the initrds on alpha, now that matroxfb has been
     moved to a separate udeb; fixes support for installs on TGA-using
     systems.  Closes: #404485.
 .
   [ dann frazier ]
   * [ia64] Fix elilo boot screen formatting - the addition of the time
     to the $BUILD_DATE variable was causing an ugly line wrap
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Document use of generic.all_generic_ide=1 in f6.txt.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Set default suite to etch (etch branch only).
