Comments/Problems:
I am installing over a dialup connection using ppp (pon/poff) through an
external modem. A couple of minor things and one reasonably serious-
looking gotcha (possibly PEBKAC as usual) were encountered.
At [!] Detect network hardware "no ethernet card": for the benefit of
dial-up-only users without any ethernet card this option might be further
labelled "no ethernet card (dialup-ppp-only users)" just to avoid some
possible confusion for those of us using ppp only.
Then in the [!] Configure the network - No network interfaces detected
screen which follows, an additional note could be added to avoid
'dialup-user panic', something like, "ppp-dialup users can safely select
Continue here. You will be prompted later (after rebooting the new
system) to run pppconfig and set up your dialup provider account."
Now here's the rub. During the base-config stage and if one's dialup ISP
has assigned nameservers, one therefore selects "static DNS" from the
appropriate menu in pppconfig, filling in dotted quads for primary and
secondary nameservers. pppconfig writes this information to
/etc/ppp/resolv/provider *only*, and does not seem to write
/etc/resolv.conf at all. Therefore configure apt barfs and base-config
leaves the install broken (un-updateable) until something like
# cp /etc/ppp/resolv/provider /etc/resolv.conf
is done manually.
It's all pretty slick otherwise. With deepest regards for a very good
installer,
Tony Rowe

Description:

Changes:
base-config (2.75) unstable; urgency=low
.
The "death march" release.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Adjust section to match overrides.
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Exclude backup files and files under debian/ from the po build system,
and make sure executables are processed in a consistent order to avoid
lots of diff noise.
* Copy passwd/username, so that e.g. exim4-config still works after user
configuration moves to d-i (closes: #341130).
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Remove the passwd reconfiguration code, user-setup handles this now in
d-i.
* Clean up the intro message to not mention stuff that the ever-shrinking
base-config no longer does.
.
[ Translations ]
* add Bengali translations (Progga <progga@BengaLinux.Org>)
* Updated Brazilian Portuguese translation.
* Updated French translation.
* Updated Galician translation.
* Updated Spanish translation.
* Updated Czech translation.
* Updated Vietnamese translation. Closes: #343844
* Updated Swedish translation. Closes: #344055
.
[ Man pages translations ]
* Updated Spanish. Closes: #341456
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Drop debconf/priority propigation from d-i as d-i no longer propigates it.
Closes: #228839, #245164
* Depends on debconf 1.4.61, since this is the first version to default
the priority to high, which is the priority we need with this change.
Closes: #228839, #245164
* Remove debconf-seed menu item, mostly, taken over by preseed 1.11.
Closes: #276638
NOTE NOTE NOTE: This means that base-config/early_command is removed.
* Remove base-config/late_command too, for consistency.
* pkgsel moved into a udeb. Closes: #240700, #242718, #256315, #259871
Closes: #247037
* MTA reconfiguration is not necessary with current debootstrap, since
no MTA is installed as part of the base system, so the user will see the
MTA question as usual if their task selection/whatever causes a MTA to be
installed.
* The pon menu item is not useful, since base-config no longer accesses the
net to install packages. Closes: #299554
* Remove GDM language fixup code, since bug #265101 got fixed.
* base-config no longer does anything with the network.
Closes: #106875, #265908, #267242
* Some other bugs that no longer apply due to removed code in base-config:
Closes: #246880, #275543
* Remove d-i debconf variable copying code, now handled by pkgsel.
* base-config program left in for compatability with old d-i's and such for
now, but it's essentially a no-op and everything has moved into d-i.
(d-i also still uses validlocale from this package for now.)
Next step will be removing this package entirely...
