Changes: boot-floppies (3.0.18) unstable; urgency=high
 .
  * we are still building against unstable since there some things there
    that we need and the build doesn't seem to work too well using
    packages from woody
 .
  * this version introduces i18n for the following architectures:
      arm
      i386 (for the flavors compact, idepci, reiserfs and udma100-ext3,
            which have kernel framebuffer support)
      powerpc
 .
    Since we can't include all the languages we support, we had to define
    a smaller list of supported languages by default:
       en pt de pl fr es ja sv it hu
    Folks building their own sets can change this list in the top-level
    'config' file; our choices here were based on the linux users per
    country data at http://counter.li.org/reports/short.php?orderby=users#table
    closes: #80942
 .
  * updates to kernels we use:
      alpha uses 2.2.20 kernel images
      sparc moved to 2.2.20; sun4u moved to 2.4.16
      i386 moved to 2.2.20
      (powerpc still at 2.2.19 because pcmcia-modules-2.2.20-pmac not available)
      mipsel moved to 2.4.16
 .
  * David Kimdon
    - report failure if dhclient cannot configure the interface,
      closes: #109455
    - more Danish documentation and messages thanks to
      Claus Hindsgaul <claus_h@image.dk>
    - lots and lots of Danish translations thanks to Morten Bo Johansen
      and  Claus Hindsgaul <claus_h@image.dk>
    - fr.po update thanks to Martin Quinson <Martin.Quinson@ens-lyon.fr>
    - remember gateway on the second pass through network configuration
    - fix badly broken language chooser, closes: #120637
    - on i18n builds put libnewt-utf8-0 on rootdisk in place of libnewt0
    - fix i386 build rules so the modules on the rootdisk match the kernel
    - i18n some strings that missed out
  * Claus Hindsgaul
    - fixups for MSG-NO and MSG-YES, new entities for defaults.ent, remove
      orphaned dbootstrap.sgml form doc-check
    - replace "ø" (unsupported in CP437) in Danish boot messages with
      Swedish "ö", and remove da from the latin1 list in conf, since
      it did not seem to work anyway
    - Small spelling errors in english boot-new.sgml
    - Danish documentation updates, thanks to Morten Bo Johansen
    - updated Italian dbootstrap translation by Eugenia Franzoni
    - modify 'make lint-docs' to verify all architectures
      modify 'make lint-all-lang-docs' to verify all architectures
      remove 'make lint-all-arch-all-lang-docs' (use lint-all-lang-docs)
    - Update URLs to kernel-traffic and "Definition of Open Source"
    - Initial Danish release-notes translation
    - Update kernel versions in docs to match config
  * Stefan Gybas
    - use $ldlib in mklibs.py
    - s390: use mklibs.py instead of mklibs.sh for library reduction
    - include lsmod on initrd
    - include ASCtoEBC and EBCtoASC in partbl_ibm.c, they are no longer in
      <asm/vtoc.h>
    - fixed detection of point-to-point interfaces
    - s390: rewrote netsetup to be more modular, each network module can
      now provide a module specific script in /usr/share/netsetup/ for
      the chandev/module parameter configuration
    - s390: install netsetup.sh as sbin/netsetup
    - s390: don't modify etc/passwd on the initrd any longer
    - s390: reduce initrd size as modules from a second initrd are now
      symlinked instead of copied.
    - s390: Always offer to format a newly attached DASD to avoid problems
      if a previously used VM minidisk was resized
    - s390: Make /sbin/fdisk a symlink to fdasd
    - s390: Don't ask for bad block scan when formatting a DASD
    - use $MIRRORS instead of $s390_url to download the s390 udeb kernel
    - s390: Copy /root/.profile from s390-specials instead of changing
      the one from base-files
    - s390: use mini-inetd from the tcputils package instead of netkit-inetd
    - s390: Use grep, ping and hostname from busybox >=1:0.60.2-2. This
      version fixed a bug in grep's return code for binary files
    - s390: Use ifconfig instead of ifup in netsetup.sh
    - various other minor s390 fixes
  * Adam Di Carlo
    - fix a number of other i18n build issues
    - 'make clean' and 'make distclean' act more consistently
    - powerpc build was broken in last version, removing yaboot.conf which
      is now in CVS and not downloaded at build time
    - fix some root*.bin build dependancy problems
    - i386 reiserfs and udma100-ext3 flavors were not being built with
      revext set properly, thus they were not getting the proper pcmcia
      modules and such, closing part of #118999
    - i386 release.sh: split images-2.88 as its own tarball,
      bf-common*.tar.gz was getting too large
    - bogl-related stuff must be 0.1.8-1 or better
    - in i136/i18n build, don't allow reduction libnewt*-pic, since i386
      uses a mixed i18n and non-i18n build
    - require newt 0.50.17-9 or better both for building and root.bin
    - dbootstrap: when you mount an existing root partition with
      /lib/modules on it, we adjust the rootdisk /lib/modules to it and
      run depmod -a; this helps when you're restarting an aborted
      installation
    - dbootstrap: suppress message to testers if we're 'quiet'
    - dbootstrap: clear the screen properly in i18n and non-i18n
      closes: #124143
    - normal doc build uses docs.stamp to prevent it from getting rebuilt
      all the time in incremental builds
    - dbootstrap: improved info messages when it first starts
    - require debiandoc-sgml 1.1.53 or better, has locale for Catalan
    - require newest busybox, closes: #124107
  * Ethan Benson
    - recent portability patch to mklibs.py requires python 2 so
      Build-depend on python-dev (>= 2.1.1-4), python2.1-xml
    - fix utilities/dbootstrap/langs/Makefile: PYTHON_VERSION=2.1
    - mklibs.py now seems to work on powerpc, use it now
  * Christian T. Steigies
    - do not ship outdated m68k quickinstall docs
    - m68k uses 2.2.20 kernel-images
  * Carlos Barros: Spanish updates
  * David Martinez: Spanish updates
  * Andre Luis Lopes: Portuguese updates
  * Gerhard Tonn
    - s390 changes: make netsetup.sh more quiet and save gateway information
           from initial netsetup

      closes: #121186
