aboot (0.9b-3+etchnhalf.1) stable; urgency=low
* Fix unrepreducible build issue.
Though etch's aboot successfully built on etch/alpha, it was not producing
the same set of binaries - i.e., it was building aboot-cross instead of
aboot. This was corrected in 1.0~pre20040408-1 with the following change,
originally from Steve Langasek:
- Update debian/rules to use DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU instead of
DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE, to fix a misbuild in unstable.
* Correcting the above creates two new FTBFS issues, likely due to the
use of the newer gcc in etch (the aboot that shipped with etch was the
same binary package that shipped in sarge):
- error: conflicting types for 'dispatch'
- Drop duplicate definition of dispatch() from cons.c
- net.c: In function 'load_kernel':
net.c:129: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
- Change assignment to move casting to rvalue
* Add support for booting >= 2.6.23 kernels, needed for etchnhalf. This
was corrected in 1.0~pre20040408-1 with the following change, originally
from Steve Langasek:
- Update bootlx to ignore ELF header sections not of type PT_LOAD when
loading the kernel, so that the new PT_NOTE sections in 2.6.23rc1 and
above don't cause load failures. Thanks to Richard Henderson for the
patch.

aboot (0.9b-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Synced man pages with upstream: aboot.conf.sgml, aboot.sgml,
abootconf.sgml, e2writeboot.8, isomarkboot.sgml, sdisklabel.sgml,
swriteboot.8.
* Took german translation of man pages from upstream.
* Minor code issues synced from upstream CVS (partially for testing
builds). Closes: #258594.

Closes: #253846.
* Add netabootwrap man page (english and german).
* Fix netabootwrap so that it stops claiming to be bootp.

(really-closes: #127303).

aboot (0.9b-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer.
* Build all our tools with "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64",
so they can handle accessing files > 4GB (e.g., DVD images for
isomarkboot) (closes: #228235).
* Include patch from Chris Lumens (upstream) for building with
additional flags (e.g. "-g").
* Enable noopt in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS build with "-g" always for now; also
stripping can be disabled now.
* Enable the all-package to be build on non-alpha archs as well
(typo & thinko in debian/rules).
* FOREIGN for building on non-alpha archs is gone, it was not necessary.
* Conflict aboot with aboot-cross as the latter package
is no longer build on Alpha but contained in aboot.
* Fixed dependencies (dropped woody only docbook2man)
* Added SRM-HOWTO (and updated description) built from SGML sources and
added into doc-base.
* Removed source diff target in rules file
* Turn off DH_VERBOSE, so our builds are a bit more palatable
* Don't forget to create the 'boot' directory in the install target
* Fix the srmbootfat manpage's section (8->1)
* Updated TODO list.
* Improved & split man pages for srmbootfat/srmbootraw.
* Clarified copyright (we are using a stable upstream release).
* Slightly updated isomarkboot.sgml
* Include netboot patch from
Soohoon Lee <soohoon.lee@api-networks.com> (closes: #127303).

aboot (0.9b-0.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Fix package split so that aboot-cross isn't needed on alpha,
and aboot-base isn't attempted on non-alpha systems (in spite of
being arch: all).
* Put srmbootfat and isomarkboot both in /usr/bin, for consistency.
* Fix package priorities/sections to match archive overrides.
* Reorder headers in lib/isolib.c, needed for building on i386.
* Change aboot.conf from a conffile to maintainer script-managed
config file, so that aboot-installer can do its job.
-- Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org> Sun, 4 Jan 2004 17:03:46 -0600
aboot (0.9b-0.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Change the order of docbook2man and docbook-utils in the
build-depends list, to satisfy the autobuilders. Closes: #225938

2003
aboot (0.9b-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* NMU. * Upgraded to 0.9b. * Switched from dh_installmanpages to dh_installman. * Included latest version of all man pages. Closes: #57804 * All man pages are now created at build time from their sgml source. * Updated README.Debian -- upstream maintainer is now Will Woods -- and copyright -- home page is sourceforge now --. * Move isomarkboot to /usr/bin and the manpage into section 1 * Include upstream changelog * Upgraded to standards version 3.6.1.0. Partially support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. * Split package into three packages to enable isomarkboot to be used on other archs (e.g. for d-i); since we run into conflicts with two packages three were needed, where aboot-base just contains common files needed for booting (which need to be built on alpha). Closes: #211777 * We depend on "linux-kernel-headers" to properly build isomarkboot, patched "include/utils.h" to properly include the "asm"-headers * Patched "lib/Makefile" to only use "no-fp-regs" for isomarkboot if building for alpha * Added srmbootfat and srmbootraw from the milo package http://www.suse.de/~stepan/source/milo-2.2-18.tar.bz2 The man page was slightly updated (spell checking, formatting, SEE ALSO). Closes: #173620 Applied a patch from Falk Hueffner <falk.hueffner@student.uni-tuebingen.de> to get_fat_entry in srmbootfat/srmbootfat.c to make it portable * Stole patches from CVS HEAD/Jeff.Wiedemeier@hp.com for USB console and to check kernel memory against console memory descriptors. These two patches should allow booting on Wildfire. * Disable check for vol-set-size in lib/isolib.c as sets of volumes are perfectly fine. For explanation of this term, see e.g. section 4.16 and 4.17 in http://www.y-adagio.com/public/standards/iso_cdromr/sect_1.htm Closes: #149840 * Added extra-args patch from RedHat/Will Wood to allow calls like dka0 -fl "0 console=ttyS0" This will be in the next official aboot release as well.

aboot (0.5-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Included patches from Loic Prylli, closing #34109:
- A bug fix in isolib.c which could cause isomarkboot to segfault (and
probably also bootlx to have undefined behaviour at run-time), if a
directory entry is in the middle of a 2k block.
- A bug fix for sdisklabel whcih segfault when called with only one
argument
- some more functionality in isomarkboot to set a offset to a root
filesystem image in the CD in the application_data fied of the first
volume descriptor.
* Increase maximum partitions from 8 to 16
* Include sdisklabel in package (fixes #34368)
