Merge orion5x/kirkwood to flavour marvell and marvell-qnap
Dear Martin,
As you know I'm preparing GNU/screen support for d-i.
To be specific, I'm going to add screen-udeb and it's dependency
libtinfo5-udeb into d-i's initrd, which will cost about 350kb.
In this way, it will exceed the size limit of a few qnap devices.
Maybe there's another better way, however I managed to resolve the
size issue by:
- merge orion5x and kirkwood into new flavour marvell, except for 2
qnap devices
- create a pseudo flavour marvell-tiny, which includes 2 qnap devices
which initrd need to be <= 4MB
- adjust pkg-lists/netboot/network-console/armel/*
I already made these changes in branch "screen-udeb" [0] for open review.
In the future, when screen-udeb [1] and libtinfo5-udeb [2] hit sid, I
can easily add to d-i by:
- add "screen-udeb" to pkg-lists/network-console
- add "screen-udeb" to
pkg-lists/netboot/network-console/armel/marvell-tiny.cfg, to keep the
size safe
Hope you can accept these changes this time, because you had some
concern last time [3].
