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).
