-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
New stuff
- ---------
* New virtual package 'keyboard-setup' has been introduced to allow
easy testing of console-setup. Previously, auto-install forced
kbd-chooser to get in the image.
* Default to not using a mirror if the user selected to not configure
the network in netcfg.
* Integrate win32-loader utility.
Resolved breakage in daily builds
- ---------------------------------
* amd64 CD images had problems on boot script that has been fixed.
* multiarch (i386, amd64) CD images failed to build due same boot
script bug from amd64 CD images above and are now fixed too.
* arm (ads_cf) had a build-failure has been resolved.
Currently broken daily builds
- -----------------------------
* m68k has a build-failure on the floppy flavours due a full-disk.
* mips and mipsel builds are still broken.
* The installation problem due the missing symbols still exists in
some architectures since the conflict between libc-dev and
linux-libc-dev (IIUC) isn't resolved yet (#434040).
* sparc lenny CD images are failing due a lack of image on the
mirror. The cause of it is the sparc32 removal.
Other issues
- ------------
* Chinese (and Japanese/Korean) texts issue in slang2 (#425835) is
still there.
* Regressions in cleaning old LVM partitions (#425829) unfixed as
well.
* newt has issues with time changing (#436497) which has broken
clock-setup when updating time during installation (#436340).
* console-setup has problems with Esperanto language due a lack of
unicore/PVA.pl module on perl-base (#437142).
Kernel status
- -------------
* linux-modules-di-m68k-2.6 isn't uploaded due the lack of loop-aes
and squashfs since linux-headers lack modules.lds files (#402061).
* hppa has been switched to 2.6.21 but the kernel is currently
affected by #431773, #427398, #433768 - all marked as pending.
* sparc kernel seems to produces unkillable processes (#433187).
Installation Images
- -------------------
* netinst images are huge due debian-cd inclusion of excluded packages
dependencies (#410418).
* weekly CD builds for sparc are broken.
