Changes:
debian-installer (20041001) unstable; urgency=high
.
* Sven Luther
- Switched to 2.6.8-4 and 2.4.27-1 kernels for powerpc.
* Thiemo Seufer
- Handle arch/subarch specific kernel module udeb inclusion.
* Joey Hess
- Add page markers to the syslinux help screens.
- Update install manual section 3.5 to note that d-i can resize fat,
and to de-emphasise the fips stuff. Closes: #265029
- Finish moving installation howto to manual.
- Remove now-useless index.en.html.
- 24 mb installs are now possible on i386.
- Add -- to the end of the syslinux kernel append lines so user-params
can work.
- Add preseed udebs to initrds and document preseeding in manual.
Closes: #265988
- Bump genext2fs build dep to avoid building images with broken versions.
- Remove the ugly and no longer needed genext2fs size hack.
- Remove the last uses of load-installer, replacing them with
download-installer.
- i386 updated to 2.6.8 and 2.4.27 kernels.
- Add acpi-modules to i386 2.6 initrds so the fan can be turned on.
Closes: #264584.
- Remove function key descriptions from the bottom of the ia64 help
screens, as in my experience the function keys only work from the
menu screen.
- Make ia64 boot screens somewhat more generic so they can be used for
netboot or other image types besides CD.
- Use only one elilo.conf for netboot and CD.
- Revamp the ia64 netboot, provide a netboot.tar.gz image that contains
a fully preconfigured netboot setup with boot menus for 2.6 and 2.4.
Make the dest tree have the same layout.
- Add -- markers to elilo.cfg boot options.
- Update i386 and amd64 netboot to follow ia64. Note that the tarballs
have been renamed.
- Fix ia64 miniiso support to not hardcode use of specific boot image,
remove the miniiso type, and generate a netboot miniiso instead.
- Simplify bootscreen-subst parameters.
- Based on a patch from Alex Owen, make syslinux help screens explain
on serial consoles how to press function keys there, and add a pxelinux
config file for 9600 baud serial consoles, available by changing the
pxelinux.cfg link.
- Comment out the "NewWorld MacOS Installation Files" section of the
install manual as it's out of date and has broken links. Closes: #269526
- Add support for depenency resolution to pkg-lists. For now it has to be
turned on on a per-package basis by appending an asterisk to the line,
since many udebs have messed up dependencies and inter-image
dependencies are not accounted for.
- Make pkg-list warn about unsatisfied dependencies.
- Use dependency resolution for the nic-modules package, as its
dependencies vary from arch to arch and kernel to kernel. Fixes various
missing deps on i386 and ia64.
- Use dependency resolution for scsi-modules to get rid of the
kernel_specific hack.
- Drop scsi-modules and usb-storage-modules from ia64 netboot image.
- Put efi-reader on ia64 cdrom image.
- Remove ia64-extra-modules hack, not needed thanks to nic-modules and
scsi-modules dependency resolution.
- Add dependencies of nic-usb-modules to net-drivers floppy (usb-modules
was missing).
- Remove useless (and missing dependencies) usb-storage-modules from
cd-drivers floppy. This made space to add back full pcmcia support on
this floppy.
- Add options to elilo boot menu for serial console installs, as I tire
of typing them.
- Split access-drivers floppy into net and cd drivers and updated these
floppies to 2.4.27.
- Remove ide and scsi modules from various arches netboot images.
- Move some files to a doc/devel subdirectory.
- Moved partman docs over from packages/partman, and build them as part
of the doc build process. Add build dep on debiandoc-sgml.
- Also moved in partman-auto recipe documentation.
- Added example preseed file for automated installs.
- Rewrote design.txt.
- Use text frontend for ia64 installs via serial console by default,
since the default ia64 serial console is 9600 baud.
- Add English to i386 root floppies. Closes: #269971
- Set build date to the version date from the changelog when doing
official builds, so all builds of a given version claim the same date.
- Add a dummy entry to the status file for that gives the overall version
of the installer image.
- Build-Depend on syslinux 2.11-0.1 to get fix for parameter bug.
- Drop all languages from root floppy. Drop all other localised versions
of root floppy. Document how to make a custom root floppy containing
the language(s) you need.
(PC 101: If you can't satisfy everyone, satisfy no-one.)
- Move countrychooser back to the root floppy.
- Add wireless-tools-udeb and nic-usb-modules to the root floppy because
we have the space, so why not?
- Update hppa to 2.4.27 kernel. Without testing it, but the 2.4.25 kernel
udebs are no longer available. We need hppa developers..
- Patch from Jö Fahlke to consistently refer to DEBCONF_FRONTEND in docs.
debconf/frontend doesn't work everywhere yet, and it's better to only
support one option.
* dann frazier
- Add ia64 elilo .msg files from Jim Lieb
- Add ia64 2.6 image build goo, contributed by Jim Lieb
Closes: #267689
- Move ia64 2.6 flavor to 2.6.8-1
- Move ia64 2.4 flavor to 2.4.27-1
- Make 2.6 the default for ia64
- Add elilo.conf options for faster serial consoles
- Add a hint about text mode to the elilo boot params screen
* Bastian Blank
- Drop the whole bunch of languages on s390.
* Stephen R. Marenka
- Modify m68k/atari bootargs to default to
debian-installer/framebuffer=false.
- Update m68k manual.
- Add bootfloppy.cfg for all vme.
- Enable vme builds.
- m68k image reorganization.
- Add some m68k/q40 support.
- Update all m68k 2.4 kernels to 2.4.27.
- Add preseed to nativehd/m68k.
- Fix m68k/atari bootargs kernel.
* Martin Michlmayr
- Improve manifest descriptions of the Broadcom BCM1250 (SWARM)
evaluation board.
- Put a SiByl TFTP boot configuration script to sb1-swarm-bn/netboot.
- Put the SiByl boot loader to sb1-swarm-bn/netboot.
- Update the Cobalt manifest descriptions to reflect reality
(the config now uses NFS, not TFTP).
- Create an nfsroot tar file for Cobalt which can easily be extracted
(containing all files including proper symlinks).
- Switch mips and mipsel over to 2.4.27.
- Put USB and input modules on the sb1-swarm-bn/netboot initrd to allow
"desktop like" installations with framebuffer and USB keyboards.
- Make sure that the serial console on Cobalt gets turned on.
- Update installation menu for mips and mipsel.
- Cleanup the ARM config files: declare most variables in one place and
use them in various other configs. This makes it easier to switch
kernels and makes the code easier to maintain.
- Switch ARM over to 2.4.27.
* Kurt Roeckx
- Use kernel version 2.6.8-3 on amd64.
- Remove "2.6" in all amd64 flavours since it's the only we have.
* Steve Langasek
- install manual updates for the alpha architecture
* Christian Perrier
- Added build/needed-characters/hi with the help of Pankaj
* Claus Hindsgaul
- Removed (untranslated) Danish doc files leaving only the very
few translated files for a potential future translation effort.
* Bastian Blank
- s390 updated to 2.4.27 kernel.
* Norbert Tretkowski
- switch alpha over to 2.4.27.
* Christian Perrier
- Added the "Harakat" characters to Arabic needed characters.
U+064B - U+0652
* Colin Watson
- Debian CDs haven't used /install/powermac for a long time. Switch the
d-i minimal CD targets to use plain /install.
- Add -- to the end of the yaboot kernel append lines so user-params can
work.
- Don't clean at the end of the daily build (we already clean at the
start).
- Move socket-modules from powerpc root-2 to root, otherwise syslogging
won't work.
- Remove serial-modules from root-2. It's only needed for strange PPP
stuff which is not needed on the floppies.
- Remove PCMCIA support and wireless tools from root-2. The floppies are
only needed on OldWorld, which probably either won't have PCMCIA or
will have built-in networking. In the rare cases where this might be
needed, you can always throw the udeb on a floppy.
- Remove nic-extra-modules from powerpc net-drivers. We've changed the
module udebs so that all drivers likely to be needed on OldWorld are
in nic-modules.
- Move everything else from root-2 to net-drivers, and remove root-2.
* Steve Langasek
- Trim various unneeded udebs from the alpha netboot and cdrom
initrds.
* Thiemo Seufer
- Add all_rebuild convenience rule.
- Add the SGI firmware default sashARCS name to bootfiles.
