Debian Changelog aboot (1.0~pre20040408-3)

2008

aboot (1.0~pre20040408-3) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Helge Kreutzmann ]
   * Fix wrong sync from alioth for aboot.conf.(sgml|5), e2writeboot.8,
     swriteboot.8
   * debian/control: Move section to admin to match overrides
   * Remove incorrect isomarkboot.8 (as upstream did), this is in section 1
   * Update my e-mail address also in every man page (where applicable)
   * Slightly improve debian/rules
   * Add a note for people intending to recompile aboot on stable (Etch)
   * Update TODO
   * Update download location of milo in appropriate READMEs
   * Bump standards version to 3.7.3.0 (no changes required)
 
   [ Steve Langasek ]
   * Drop the reference to asm/page.h from zip/main.c since it isn't actually
     needed, fixing a build failure with current linux-libc-dev; thanks to
     Philipp Benner <pbenner@uni-osnabrueck.de> for pointing out the obvious
     fix.  Closes: #480364.
   * disk.c: drop reference to asm/elf.h.
   * tools/objstrip.c: drop reference to asm/elf.h; use a.out.h instead
     of linux/a.out.h, which is no longer provided by the kernel; and
     include a copy of the elf_check_arch() define from the old asm/elf.h
     in the event that we're building against recent kernel headers.
   * tools/elfencap.c: there is only one right answer for each of ELF_CLASS,
     ELF_DATA, and ELF_ARCH; reference these values directly, for
     compatibility with linux-libc-dev 2.6.24 and above.
   * Take over from Helge as maintainer; thanks for all your work!
     Closes: #315592.

2007

aboot (1.0~pre20040408-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Include userspace headers from lib/isolib.c instead of kernel
     headers; this isn't kernel code anyway, and the kernel headers don't
     work right on i386 the way they're being used.

aboot (1.0~pre20040408-1) unstable; urgency=low

   [ Steve Langasek ]
   * New upstream version, pulled from CVS snapshot.
   * Drop separate faq-src directory, now merged upstream as doc/faq
   * Fix header references in multiple files, and import a local copy of
     asm-alpha/pal.h and asm-alpha/system.h from the kernel sources for
     use by head.S and aboot.c, for the switch to linux-libc-dev in
     lenny.  Closes: #437296.
   * Update debian/rules to use DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU instead of
     DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE, to fix a misbuild in unstable.
   * Fix wrong manpage section for srmbootraw(8) in the clean target
   * 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.  Closes: #438431.
   * Drop unneeded build-dependency on linux-kernel-headers, which is
     build-essential.
 
   [ Helge Kreutzmann ]
   * Fix minor typos in German man pages.
   * Update my e-mail address in debian related files
   * Do not ignore errors in clean targets (thanks, lintian)
   * Bump standards version to 3.7.2.2
   * Bump dephelper level to 5

     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.
   * Include patch to make isomarkboot endian-safe. Thanks to Steve McIntyre,
     Closes: #253846.
   * Add netabootwrap man page (english and german).

aboot (0.9b-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Actually install the netabootwrap binary so that people can use it
     (really-closes: #127303).

 -- Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>  Sat, 8 May 2004 16:20:42 -0500

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).

 -- Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>  Mon, 3 May 2004 19:43:19 -0500

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

 -- 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.

 -- Helge Kreutzmann <kreutzm@itp.uni-hannover.de>  Sat, 13 Dec 2003 18:32:43 +0100

aboot (0.9-1.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * NMU.

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

     - A bug fix for sdisklabel whcih segfault when called with only one
       argument
