boot-floppies 3.0.21 for testing



I have uploaded sparc and powerpc builds of boot-floppies 3.0.21 for
testing at:

  http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/

We need help!  Our non-i386 testing is decidedly weak.  Please check
these images and ensure that they don't have any crippling problems.
This is the first set built purely from Woody.  Changelog for 3.0.21
can be found below.

Please send any replies to <debian-boot@lists.debian.org>.

If they are ok, I will release boot-floppies 3.0.21.

boot-floppies (3.0.21) unstable; urgency=low

  * Adam Di Carlo
    - we now build against Woody

      THIS IS A SERIOUS CHANGE but required for Woody release.
      If packages from unstable are needed, you will need to copy those to
      localdir as configured in `config'

    - sparc uses libc 2.2.5 now
    - sparc/sun4u kernel uses 2.4.18 (thanks BenC)
    - sparc doesn't have sun4dm-pci anymore, no one needs it (thanks BenC)
    - EXTRACT-i18n was pulling in for all arches cfdisk-utf8, which would
      break sparc build
    - package searching in 'archive' dir (where downloads go) is sensitive
      to the current architecture, making it safe to share the download dir
      for multiple arch builds if desired
  * Giuseppe Sacco
    - new maintainer for the italian translation
    - updated scripts/rescue/messages/it/*
    - updated utilities/dbootstrap/po/it.po
    - translated README-Users.it.m4
  * Richard Hirst
    - fix inverted test on USE_LANGUAGE_CHOOSER in rootdisk.sh
    - ia64: turn on USE_LANGUAGE_CHOOSER
    - ia64: move vars from make/ia64.rules to make/ia64.vars
    - boxes.c, remove redundant cast, caused gcc warning on 64 bit
    - we need to copy libraries if not doing library reduction
    - ia64: avoid extra linux*.bin file entries in md5sum.txt
    - revert part of the linux.bin change, cannot have linux.bin.gz on an
      msdos format rescue.bin image - now have linux.bin or linux.gz
  * Andreas Wüst
    - fix misspelling in German Version-Info, closes: #136842
  * Falk Hueffner
    - fixed mklibs.py to auto-detect ldlib string from the build environment
    - disabled language chooser for Alpha because of space constraints
    - disabled APB firmware support. There are no testers, and alternative
      firmware is available (SRM)
  * Jordi Mallach
    - updates to Catalan dbootstrap translation and documentation.
    - more manual updates (Antoni Bella)
  * Eduard Bloch
    - new cdrom autodetection code, really closes: #123948, #133935
    - rearanged order order of steps in rootdisk.sh; now dbootstrap
      dependencies are reduced with all others, and resolveable libs are
      copied trough the libreduction, where possible
    - user-friendly LILO menu setup, including a warning about LILO security;
      IMHO enough to say, closes: #27007
    - made old ext2-compatibility options appear in verbose mode only
    - moved from del_loop/set_loop to external losetup program. Still no idea
      why the kernel breaks on our functions, but having losetup on BFs is
      better though. Closes: #135504 and partially #110717

    - define LANGUAGE_INST in dbootstrap_settings

  * Matt Kraai
    - add subarch for prep kernel, closes: #131030
    - do not reset mirror if debootstrap fails, closes: #122633
  * Stefan Gybas
    - s390 now uses kernel 2.4.17 with the newly GPL'ed LCS module
    - s390: required newer s390-tools because of a changed DASD API version
      in kernel 2.4.17
