Uploaded boot-floppies 2.2.2 (source all) to master
Note that my testing indicates that the keyboard configuration step,
right at the front, is almost totally broken. This is seriously messed
up but I didn't want to delay this upload any longer -- it's
already been 2 months since 2.2.1, far too long!
Anyhow, it should be taken for granted that this is not a freeze
candidate quite yet. However, in terms of bootability and
installability, it is hoped that we are at slink or better levels
at this point.

Changes:
boot-floppies (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
.
* this version of boot-floppies is not yet feature complete for potato.
We still need a lot of help in making dbootstrap better. Other things
which are still dreadfully wrong:
- task package selection not yet integrated
- xviddetect/anXious not yet integrated
- apt configurator not yet integrated
- unified i18n/l10n language/charset not yet fully implemented
- perl-base still has lots of problems
- modconf still has tons of problems
Please volunteer on debian-boot@lists.debian.org or notify/pester/NMU
the appropriate packages
* busybox: update to 0.39 from Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>;
enable lots of new commands in busybox, which saves space on root.bin;
new commands: syslogd, logger, ping, tail
* overall aesthetics, cleanup, and maintainability fixes; fix numerous
problems relating to compatability with the new busybox
* base: add fbset, move all arches to libpopt0 and libnewt; remove
bloat pkgs such as libstdc++2.9 and perl-5.005; new pcmcia
(closes: Bug#52692)
* rescue: add sed (from 'sed' package); add lazybox 'free'; remove
fgrep; stop having vi pose as ae, but instead it emit a message; fix
bad errors in rescue/modules install.sh scripts (closes: Bug#49517);
update f*.txt messages for i386, boot arguments documentation in
particular expanded and updated; fix "restart dbootstrap" by looping
in /etc/init.d/rcS
* dbootstrap: added hostname sanity check to netconfig.c (closes:
Bug#37045); use syslog for logging of all cmd output, which stops
stuff from getting scribbled on the screen (closes: Bug#32581);
preliminary support for install base via http
* root: re-enable library reduction on alpha; provide usr/bin/eject from
eject package on m68k (closes: Bug#52304)
* documentation: fix to work with new debiandoc-sgml (currently at
1.1.36); top-level README for developers mentions you need a head to
build (closes: Bug#49524); new base size is (at least) 45MB (maybe more)
* new top level command, 'make mirror' to make a mirror of the
packages needed to build base; 'make check' improved
* top-level Makefile: 'make check' now includes $(local_dir) in its
attempts to populate updates/, checks zlib-bin in i386 check deps; use
zlib-bin's miniunzip rather than the non-free unzip
* control: depend on libi18n-langtags-perl, flex; remove depends on
slice and suggests on unzip
* remove dpkg-multicd, gettext, perl-5.005, libstdc++2.9, libdb2 from
base (closes: Bug#48872)
* rethink file naming:
.../disks-<arch>/[subarch/][alt-kernel/]disks-<size>/
Common files should appear on the top-most level at which they are
common. This is a deeper directory structure but it will enable us to
have consistency across architectures and be easier for users to
understand. For i386 1440k rescue disk, this is now
'disks-1.44/rescue.bin', which has the benefit of being ok for a FAT
filesystem (closes: Bug#43057) -- NOTE: this new system introduces
file naming issues for file searching in dbootstrap which are not yet
implemented on all platforms -- YMMV
* add top-level release/README file describing the new file layout, etc.
* i386: support for dac960 controller on root disk and base disks;
switch to 2.2.13 kernel (closes: Bug#52106)
* i18n: portuguese keyboard support added (closes: Bug#49976);
pt.po fixed (closes: Bug#47633); Hungarian (hu) translation added;
Esperanto (eo) updated
* i18n: groundwork for conherent/consistent i18n/l10n handling, see
utilities/language-chooser for info (this is not yet part of the
built boot-floppies)
* more bug closing of things fixed with kernel 2.2.x
(closes: Bug#43058, Bug#25274)
