.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Make sure the Netwinder image doesn't exceed NeTTrom's size limit.
Closes: #345319.
* Include essential kernel modules on the Netwinder cdrom initrd.
* Fix a typo in the Cobalt preseed file.
* Rename sb1-swarm-bn to sb1-bcm91250a for consistency.
* Add 2.6 images on mips and mipel.
* Add support for the Broadcom BCM91480B evaluation board (aka "BigSur").
* Add support for the SGI O2 (IP32) machines (with R5000 CPU).
* Put beep-udeb on the NSLU2 initrd so we can notify people when SSH is
ready.
* Switch to 2.6.16 kernel on arm.
* Put the input-modules udeb on the NSLU2 image so the beeper will work.
* Remove (incomplete) LART and BAST support.
* Remove 2.4 images on arm.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Split off PRESEED_SUITE from PRESEED, use this for the suite setting
for development builds, and no longer unset PRESEED for release builds.
Should fix cobalt issues.
* Audited the x86 kernel parameter docs in the boot screens vs the 2.6.15
kernel. Removed documentation for parameters that are not listed in the
kernel's kernel-parameters.txt, and to a certian extent read the source
to find places where kernel-parameters.txt is wrong, and removed those
too. It's probably better to not document things than to document them
incorrectly.
* Modified kernel parameter docs to use the module.param=value syntax
for all parameters that are owned by a loadable kernel module. The old
param=value at the boot line won't work, since d-i doesn't pass kernel
command line to modules. The new syntax requires rootskel 1.30 to work.
(Not sure what module(s) own hd=, didn't change it yet.)
* Remove docs for how to disable gdth, which harks back to a non-modular
kernel.
.
[ Christian Perrier ]
* Rename Punjabi related files from pa_IN to pa.
* Add the list of needed characters for Northern Sami
* Add the list of needed characters for Thai
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Remove no longer used graphical characters from graphic.utf (formerly used
in partman).
* Move graphic.utf to needed-characters.
* Rename all needed-character files to *.utf to simplify Makefile.
* Remove 2.6 references from hppa config as 2.6 is now default; keep
EXTRANAME=2.6/ for now in order to not break debian-cd.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Remove build dep on libdebian-installer4 now that all udeb deps are fixed
* Update i386 to 2.6.16.
* Copy library .so links from library-providing udebs into the udeblib
directory along with the library files, otherwise mklibs doesn't see them.
(Crossing fingers that this change, which has been tried once before,
doesn't break something..)
* Remove build dep on libdebconfclient0 since all relevant udeb deps are
fixed.
* Remove libdebconfclient0 from pkg-list/exclude too.
* Remove build dep on libdiscover1 now that there's a libdiscover1-udeb
and proper deps. Remove it from pkg-list/exclude too.
* Correct comment for libbogl-dev build dep.
* Add mips mipsel arm and armeb to arch list for the module-init-tools build
dep since they all use 2.6 kernels now.
* Limit modutils build dep to the arches that still use 2.4 [arm i386 mips
mipsel powerpc s390 sparc].
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Update sparc to 2.6.16; re-enable 2.6 for sparc32.
* kbd-chooser 1.25 will no longer use usb-mac keymaps for 2.6 based
installations if AT keymaps are defined; therefore, no longer include
usb-mac keymaps in images using a 2.6 kernel. Not touching pkg-lists files
for mips(el) sb1-bcm91250a as they currently don't include AT keymaps.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Can't find any uses of cdrom-minimal and netboot-minimal, so removing
those directories from pkg-lists.
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Update powerpc to 2.6.16.
* Pass -r $(KERNELVERSION) to mkvmlinuz rather than -r $(KERNELMAJOR), so
that it can tell the difference between 2.6.16 and earlier releases.
* Build chrp initrds for powerpc64.
* Restore usb-discover on 2.6 images; according to Martin-Ã?ric Racine it's
still needed to load usbhid et al on some systems. Plus, it's tiny.
* Add support for OS-specific pkg-lists entries: use lines like
"gnumach-udeb [hurd]".
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Comment out nano-udeb and save-logs in the access floppy list to try to
save space.
* New usb-serial-modules package added to access floppy, although that
floppy will now be well oversize.
* Add kfreebsd and some missing hurd stuff to build dependency info.
Closes: #363661
* Remove ide stuff from access floppy, fixing its size problem. Don't know
why ide stuff was ever on there.
* Remove USB floppy and keychain support from boot floppy as it was out of
space.
.
[ Kyle McMartin ]
* Update hppa to 2.6.16.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Also include libs named *.so.* when calling mklibs. Not including those
results in missing symbols when building the graphical installer.
Closes: #366441.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Patch from Samuel Thibault to support testing CD-ROM images in qemu.
Closes: #367068
* Add documentation for brltty= boot parameter (hope I got it right).
* Apply Samuel Thibault's patch to add brltty-udeb to the cdrom, netboot,
nativehd, and hd-media images. Closes: #355851
* Mark usb-serial-modules added by brltty patch as optional, since they're
not yet available on all arches.
* Increase size of the hd-media images from 128 mb to 256 mb to make more
room for the netinst.
* Put modutils udebs back on 2.4/2.2 images since new busybox has dropped
all support for that.
* Stop building el-torito i386 image, it's too big due to above busybox
change.
* i386 floppy is full due to above busybox change, moved half the network
stuff the the net-drivers floppy, which now must be used for all network
installs.
* i386 bootfloppy is broken:
mount: Couldn't setup loop device
No idea why. Disabled i386 root and boot floppies. :-(
* Add EXTRAUDEBS variable which can be used to pull in extra udebs for
library reduction that are not on boot images.
* Include cdebconf-newt-entropy in EXTRAUDEBS so that its symbols are in the
boot images; since it is linked into cdebconf which uses the reduced libc.
* No more parted build dep; those udeb deps are fixed.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Integrate graphical installer. Closes: #228808.
.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* Drop serial-modules from the alpha images, since this package is empty
now in 2.6.16 apparently due to drivers being built into the kernel
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Integrate graphical installer on powerpc.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Workaround syslinux weirdness on hd-media images; when asked to boot
2.6/linux, it tries to boot "2.6/l". Rename files out of directories to
avoid this; the gtk initrd has the unappetizing name "initrdg.gz".
* Fix amd64 gtk miniiso build.
* Switch i386 to 2.6.16-2.
.
[ Sven luther ]
* Switch powerpc to 2.6.16-2 and disable non-working powerpc subarches.
Closes: #373264.
.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Switch mips to 2.6.16-2.
* Switch arm to 2.6.16-2.
* Switch mipsel to 2.6.16-2.
* Add images for RiscPC (rpc).
* Remove 2.4 images on mips.
* Add 2.6 images for DECstation.
* Remove 2.4 images on mipsel.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Switch sparc and amd64 to 2.6.16-2.
* graphic.utf: add arrow characters needed for scrollbar display; remove
unused/duplicate characters.
* Remove needed_characters files for "level 4" languages (are not supported
in newt frontend).
* Rename needed_characters files for prospective languages so they're not
included yet.
* Switch hppa to 2.6.16-2.
* Switch ia64 to 2.6.16-2.
* Include USB-MAC keymaps again for powerpc with 2.6 kernels; they've been
re-enabled in kbd-chooser for that architecture.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Switch from using DEBCONF_PRIORITY and sometimes debconf/priority to
consistently using priority=low to boot to expert mode. Needs preseed
1.17.
* Change x86 help screen to document fb=false alias.
* Remove libtextwrap1 from build deps and pkg-lists/exclude; cdebconf
now uses the library udeb.
.
[ Christian Perrier ]
* Remove all *.prospective files as all these languages are only used in
the graphical installer.
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Remove mountfloppy from netboot/common list, add it to only arches that
support floppies.
* Don't include brltty on the netboot image for nslu2 machines,
which uses network-console. Actually, I removed it from images for arches
except for alpha, amd64, i386, ia64, and powerpc, since the other netboot
images seem to lack serial-modules.
* Remove local copy of slugimage and use the debian package.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Disable powerpc/apus as the 2.4 kernels it currently uses were removed
from the archive.
.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Only try upx compression if UPX is defined; avoids build noise on amd64.
