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.

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

 -- Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>  Sun, 4 Jan 2004 13:51:35 -0600

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 (0.9-1.1) unstable; urgency=low

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
