Package: installation-guide
Tags: patch
Hi,
there was a mail from Richard Owlett sent to debian-www (attached), in which
he reports, that in the preseed.txt file a part is missing (the part about
preseeding the bootloader installation).
Forwarding this to the BTS against installation-guide, since it seems the
cause is in that package.
The relevant paragraph was set to "arch=any-x86" with this commit:
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i/trunk/manual/en/appendix/preseed.xml?r1=65001&r2=65009
This attribute works for building the manual itself, but it fails for the
preseed.pl script, which generates the preseed.txt file.
In the perl script it is documented that 'condition' attributes and
'arch' attributes are supported by the script, but there are apparently
some problems.
When I change this in line 1456 of ../manual/en/appendix/preseed.xml:
- <sect2 id="preseed-bootloader" arch="any-x86">
+ <sect2 id="preseed-bootloader" arch="i386">
<title>Boot loader installation</title>
then it works.
I have no perl skills, so I am unable to find out why arch definition
"i386" works fine, while arch definition "any-x86" does not.
Please note that ATM the preseed.txt file is only generated for the
i386 architecture.

Subject: https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/example-preseed.txt not consistent with https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs04.html.en
At the top of
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs04.html.en it says:
/begin quote
B.4. Contents of the preconfiguration file (for wheezy)
The configuration fragments used in this appendix are also
available as an example preconfiguration file from

HOWEVER, the section at
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs04.html.en#preseed-bootloader
doesn't appear in example-preseed.txt.
/begin quote of missing text
# Grub is the default boot loader (for x86). If you want lilo
installed
# instead, uncomment this:
#d-i grub-installer/skip boolean true
# To also skip installing lilo, and install no bootloader,
uncomment this
# too:
#d-i lilo-installer/skip boolean true
# This is fairly safe to set, it makes grub install automatically
to the MBR
# if no other operating system is detected on the machine.
d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean true
# This one makes grub-installer install to the MBR if it also
finds some other
# OS, which is less safe as it might not be able to boot that
other OS.
d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean true
# Alternatively, if you want to install to a location other than
the mbr,
# uncomment and edit these lines:
#d-i grub-installer/only_debian boolean false
#d-i grub-installer/with_other_os boolean false
#d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0,0)
# To install grub to multiple disks:
#d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd0,0) (hd1,0) (hd2,0)
# To install to a particular device:

# Optional password for grub, either in clear text
#d-i grub-installer/password password r00tme
#d-i grub-installer/password-again password r00tme

Changes:

.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Remove information about Cobalt devices.
.
[ Samuel Thibault ]
* Reference the DEBIAN_FRONTEND parameter in the accessibility section.
* Do not document a "d-i keymap" alias, it does not work, only the bootcommand
keymap alias works.
* Emphasize about the issue of language/keyboard being by default asked before
disk and network preseeding.
* Mention where filesystems are mounted for preseed commands.
* Fix setting up ssh access now that root with password is disabled by
default. Closes: #756065.
* Add support for "any" and "x86" magics in preseed.pl. Closes: #758476.
* Update linux-x86 lowmem limits.
* Add arch-parallel build support.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.5 (no change).
.
[ Karsten Merker ]
* Update and extend the "Supported Hardware" section for armel
and armhf:
- update the architecture/subarch/flavor table
- add general information about armel and armhf
- add information about platform-specific and multiplatform kernels
- update the platform support status
* Disable the "Booting the SS4000-E" section as it describes hardware
which is not supported in Jessie anymore (Intel iop32-based NAS).
* Disable the references to the Thecus N2100 and the GLAN Tank in the
"Where to Find Installation Images" section. Both are Intel
iop32-based systems which are not supported in Jessie anymore.
* Add an "ARM firmware", a "Setting the ethernet MAC address
in u-boot" and a "Kernel/Initrd/Device-Tree relocation issues in
u-boot" subsection in the "Pre-Installation Hardware and
Operating System Setup" section.
* Add a "Boot image formats" and a "TFTP-booting in u-boot" subsection
in the "Booting the Installer on ARM" section.
* Add location information for the armmp flavor to the "Where to Find
Installation Images" section.
* Add a "Making the system bootable with flash-kernel" subsection
to the "Making Your System Bootable" section for arm platforms.
* Remove ia64, s390 and sparc from the supported architecture list
for Jessie.
* Update several common entities for Jessie.
* Reword the "Installing Additional Software" section to make it
easier to change the default desktop environment in the installation
guide.
* Remove outdated reference to booting from floppy disks in the
"Booting from CD-ROM" section.
* Add a "Systems with UEFI firmware" subsection and a
"Disabling the Windows 8 'fast boot' feature" subsection in the
"Pre-Installation Hardware and Operating System Setup" section.
.
[ Cyril Brulebois ]
* Drop installation-guide-ia64 package (commented out).
* Target release is now jessie.
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Remove mention of partman's ability to copy data between partitions,
since that relies on libparted's filesystem-handling code which is being
removed.
.
[ Holger Wansing ]
* Drop s390, ia64 and sparc from control / archlist files for Jessie
(means dropping installation-guide-s390 and installation-guide-sparc
packages)
* Update manual for graphical installer being the default installer
under i386 and amd64 for Jessie.
* Move contents of 'Graphical installer' appendix to regular parts
of the manual.
* Remove references of loop-AES (no longer supported by the installer).
