[ Thiemo Seufer ]
* Add Qemu mips/mipsel images, thanks Aurelien Jarno.
[ Sylvain Ferriol ]
* Add keyboard usb packages in i386 root floppy and move all net packages
to i386 net-drivers-1 floppy.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Switch font used for Dzongkha in g-i to ttf-tmuni.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Provide a properly encrypted firmware image for Thecus N2100 so the
firmware upgrade process will recognize it. Thanks to Kurt Roeckx
for help with OpenSSL.
* Remove incomplete armeb support.
* Remove obsolete arm/nslu2 config files.
* Switch arm, mips and mipsel to 2.6.18-2.
* Switch arm, mips and mipsel to 2.6.18-3.
* n2100: Add support for Evesham's M-Box.
* Put in a workaround to support building with both apex 1.4.7 and the
new 1.4.14 which changes the name of the apex binary; closes: #409747
[ Joey Hess ]
* Stop using the system status file; generate a dummy status file for apt
containing libc6 and libnewt (the only two debs udebs still depend on).
* dhcp3-client-udeb is for some reason Standard priority, so gets included
in monolithic image builds (and breaks the build). Exclude it from the
monolithic images until its priority is fixed.
* The i386 boot floppy will be too big with the 2.6.18 kernel, so drop
usb input modules from it. USB keyboard support didn't work before
anyway AFAICS, since usb-discover was not included.
* With 2.6.18, nic-extra-modules gets too big to fit on the i386
net-drivers-1 floppy with nic-modules. Move nic-extra-modules to
net-drivers-2 and reorg to fit.
* Don't exclude usb drivers from driver floppies; the root floppy does not
currently load them.
[ Sven Luther ]
* Switch powerpc to 2.6.18-2.
* Add a prep flavour.
* Add fancontrol modules to cdrom and netboot images for powerpc64.
[ Thiemo Seufer ]
* Fix tftpboot.sh for mips/r5k-ip32.
[ dann frazier ]
* Switch ia64 to initramfs.
* Make the default boot option on ia64 "Install" for consistency with x86.
* Add rescue boot option on ia64.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Switch i386 to 2.6.18-3.
* Apply patch from Alex Owen to fix serial console support for grub in the
installed system (#224641).
[ Joey Hess ]
* Add time to image build date, and set build date to UTC (was local
time before).
* Etch will be Debian 4.0.
[ Stephen R. Marenka ]
* Add preliminary network-console support to m68k.
* Switch m68k to 2.6.18-3.
* Add back the atari subarch and the floppy initrd.
* Add emile to build-deps.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* Switch alpha to 2.6.18-3. Now with support for TITAN systems, huzzah!
[ Colin Watson ]
* Switch powerpc to 2.6.18-3.
* Document new GET_MAX_PRIMARY command in partman-base 99.
[ Dann Frazier ]
* Switch ia64 to 2.6.18-3.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Switch amd64, hppa, sparc and s/390 to 2.6.18-3.
* On amd64 we temporarily need to include /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 in g-i initrds
to work around #373253 until upstream can remove pthread_cancel() calls in
directfb. Because of the Etch release this is implemented for now by
setting EXTRAFILES in the relevant files under config/amd64.
* daily-build: keep file attributes between build targets if fakeroot is
used. Closes: #401603.
* Raise minimal memory requirement in boot help screens on x86 to 32MB.
Closes: #402276.
* Makefile: don't strip "Choices-C" fields from templates if DROP_LANG is set
(see #400263).
[ Joey Hess ]
* Copy the keyring from debian-archive-keyring into images (was using the
old keyring from apt). Build-depend on a current version of
debian-archive-keyring for good measure.
* Fix stripping of kernel modules by Makefile, was broken due to bogus find
command.
* /etc/apt/trusted.gpg can't be guaranteed to be readable, and the udeb
download will fail to verify if it's not. Avoid this by making apt use
KEYRING.
[ dann frazier ]
* Add scsi-common-modules to pkg-lists/cdrom/ia64.cfg. sym53c8xx.ko is in
this package, which is needed for scsi cd-roms in machines like the
HP rx7620 (closes: #403895)
* Add relocatable flag to elilo.conf for ia64 - this is required when booting
on Altix systems, though it cannot be used with 2.4 kernels
[ Joey Hess ]
* Remove udev-udeb from the ADS cf image.
* Rename gtk-miniiso targets to netboot-gtk, and place the resulting files
under the netboot/gtk/ directory. Add full set of netboot files for the
gtk image, not just the mini.iso. The gtk-miniiso directories are kept
working via symlinks for now, so that we won't have to update the docs so
late in the release process. Closes: #408535
[ Frans Pop ]
* Update general copyright notices for Debian and Debian Installer to 2007.
* Switch all architectures to 2.6.18-4.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Update mips/mipsel boot configs to refer to 2.6.18-4.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Add support for armel. Symlink most arm configs to avoid duplication.
* Add libgcc1 to the udeb exclude list, and add a dummy item for it to the
status file. This supports armel, which already uses glibc 2.5, and will
be needed later when other arches switch to it.
[ Gordon Farquharson ]
* Enable users to select a timezone on arm/ixp4xx, arm/iop32, and
mipsel/cobalt. Closes: #403195.
* Include the IXP4xx Ethernet driver on the initrd now that oldsys-preseed
will choose the correct device depending on whether the NPE microcode
is available.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* Add fb-modules to the initrds on alpha, now that matroxfb has been
moved to a separate udeb; fixes support for installs on TGA-using
systems. Closes: #404485.
[ dann frazier ]
* [ia64] Fix elilo boot screen formatting - the addition of the time
to the $BUILD_DATE variable was causing an ugly line wrap
[ Joey Hess ]
* Document use of generic.all_generic_ide=1 in f6.txt.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Set default suite to etch (etch branch only).

debian-installer (20061102) unstable; urgency=low
[ Joey Hess ]
* Increased hardcoded ramdisk_size in aboot.conf to 20 mb, 16 mb is just
barely too small with current images.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Add input-modules to the ixp4xx initrd.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Fix the generation of MANIFEST.udebs for extra floppy images.
* Add boot option "auto" for i386, amd64, powerpc and sparc to support the
new auto-install functionality.

debian-installer (20061022) unstable; urgency=low
[ Joey Hess ]
* Remove some leftover 2.4+2.6 support in the ia64 configs.
* Make amd64 consitently use initramfs images.
* Drop 2.4 support for i386.
* Merge most differences between i386 and amd64 configs. Only remaining
difference is that floppy support is still desirable (though not
present) for i386.
* Build gtk isolinux initrd as part of the build process for the
regular isolinux image, so that it will be included properly in the
isolinux files.
* Switch i386 to 2.6.17-2.
* Remove root=/dev/ram from syslinux configs, turns out not to be needed for
the kernel to find initramfs.
* Remove ramdisk_size= and "rw" settings, also not needed.
* Which means that ramdisk-size-subst is not needed for x86; removed
calls to it.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Switch arm to 2.6.17-2.
* Clean-up arm config now that 2.4 is gone.
* Use mknettrom from the nwutil package instead of our own local copy.
* Add images for iop32x with support for GLAN Tank.
* Add images for ixp4xx.
* Switch mips to 2.6.17-2.
* Switch mipsel to 2.6.17-2.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Switch hppa and sparc to 2.6.17-2.
* Switch s390 to 2.6.17-2 and re-enable the tape target.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Remove pcmcia kernel modules from ads cf image; provided by monolithic
kernels.
[ Wouter Verhelst ]
* Nuke 2.2/2.4 for m68k.
[ Stephen R. Marenka ]
* Nuke non-rc subarchs for m68k.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Fix ads image builds, need to turn off globally set KERNELVERSION.
* Remove leftover stuff for speakup/access floppy images.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Clean up pkg-lists for removal of 2.2/2.4 support.
[ Dann Frazier ]
* Switch IA64 to 2.6.17-2.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Fix gtk isolinux.cfg building.
[ Kurt Roeckx ]
* Siwtch amd64 to 2.6.17-2.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Switch alpha to 2.6.17-2 to keep it building. (Untested by me.)
[ Colin Watson ]
* Use pcmciautils on mips/mipsel monolithic 2.6 builds.
[ Sven Luther ]
* Get rid of cdrom64/netboot64/gtk-miniiso64 for the powerpc64
subarchitecture (closes: #385145).
* Switch powerpc 2.6 images to initramfs (closes: #385175).
[ Joey Hess ]
* Switch KERNELMAJOR to 2.6 for ads images, since that the most likely
kernel used.
* Include pcmciautils on ads cf image, but keep pcmcia-cs on there too, on
the off chance that a 2.4 kernel is used with it.
* Add X_INSTALLATION_MEDIUM to lsb-release file.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Switch powerpc to 2.6.17-2. Closes: #385164
[ Frans Pop ]
* Switch to using initramfs for sparc (except for floppy images); remove no
longer needed boot parameters from silo.conf.
* Switch to using initramfs for hppa; remove no longer needed palo
parameters.
[ Wouter Verhelst ]
* Don't build powerpc floppy targets in the "regular" builds; they're of no
use there except to confuse the user. Which is not useful at all.
Closes: #323182, #315308
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Add a firmware image for Linksys NSLU2 for the new ixp4xx flavour.
* Put oldsys-preseed on the iop32x image.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Add support for ppc64 based on patch from Andreas Jochens. Closes: #382628.
* Switch default INITRD_FS to initramfs; configs for individual
architectures modified so there are no actual changes.
* Add sata-modules for cdrom images on alpha.
[ Sylvain Ferriol ]
* Add support for 2.6 based floppy installation for i386.
-- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org> Sun, 22 Oct 2006 03:11:24 +0200
debian-installer (20060806) unstable; urgency=low
* Add ttf-bpg-georgian fonts for graphical installer.
* As that was the last missing font udeb, remove support for including
fontfiles from tarballs.
* Remove 2.4 images for sparc.
* Update arches in build depends for module-init-tools and modutils.
-- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org> Mon, 6 Aug 2006 23:22:02 +0200
debian-installer (20060726.1) unstable; urgency=low
* pkg-lists/exclude: update to libnewt0.52.
* Add build dependency on wget for arches that support the graphical
installer; this is needed while we still have font tarballs.
-- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org> Wed, 26 Jul 2006 13:54:56 +0200
debian-installer (20060726) unstable; urgency=low
[ 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-Éric 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.

[ dann frazier ]
* Stop using mklibs-copy on ia64, now that #326103 is fixed.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Deal with dpkg-deb output change in udeb version extraction code.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Switch to 2.6.14 kernel for i386 and sparc64.
* Run with udev by default (2.6 kernels only). This is now required for i386
and should also work with 2.6.12 kernels for other arches.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Add slightly more error checking to genbuilddeps.
* Include rescue-mode in monolithic images.
* Use pcmciautils-udeb instead of pcmcia-cs-udeb on architectures that
have moved to kernels newer than 2.6.12.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Make socket-modules kernel udeb optional in pkg-lists, it's going away in
current 2.6 kernels.
[ Kurt Roeckx ]
* Switch to 2.6.14 kernel for amd64.
[ dann frazier ]
* Switch to 2.6.14 kernel for ia64.
[ Frans Pop ]
* No longer use discover and usb-discover for 2.6 based installations (all
architectures).
* Include pciutils-udeb for 2.6 based installations (all architectures).
This brings back display of NIC names when a system has more than one and
allows save-logs to include lspci info.
* Update to libdevmapper1.02 in monolithic target.
[ Christian Perrier ]
* Add needed-characters for Khmer (1780-17FF range)
* Add needed-characters for Nepali
[ Joey Hess ]
* Removed nic-extra-modules, isa-pnp-modules, usb-modules from the netwinder
netboot image since none should be useful on a netwinder and the netwinder
has a hard 4 mb limit to the initrd size. Closes: #343674
* Switch all i386 2.6 images to initramfs.
[ Sven Luther ]
* Updated powerpc config to 2.6.14-2 kernels.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Patch from Rod Whitby to support jffs2 generation. Closes: #344854
* Document the new MKFS_JFFS2 variable.
* Allow for TEMP_INITRD (and presumably INITRD too) to be theoretically
changed to something that makes more sense for jffs2 images.
[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Add initial support for BCM947xx mipsel devices but don't activate it.
* Add 2.6 images for Footbridge (CATS and Netwinder).
* Add support for NSLU2 devices on arm and armeb.
* Support SSH installations on Cobalt.
* Remove code to build xxs1500 images since this was never supported.
* Reorganize the DECstation tree and put images in sub-dirs.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Switch i386 to the 2.6.15-1 kernel.
[ Kurt Roeckx ]
* Switch amd64 to the 2.6.15-1 kernel.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Switch sparc to the 2.6.15-1 kernel.
* Change build dependency from sysutils to tofrodos as package was split.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Switch powerpc to the 2.6.15-1 kernel.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* Switch alpha to the 2.6.15-1 kernel.
* Add scsi-common-modules to the alpha cdrom initrd.

* Don't drop English translations for S/390 initrds.
* Also remove Indices-* and Default-* lines when dropping translations.
* Include sparc-utils-udeb for sbus detection on Sparc 2.6 based installs.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Update hppa to 2.6.15-1 kernel. Completly and utterly untested.
[ Stephen R. Marenka ]
* Update m68k to 2.6.15-1 kernel.

* Stop building the monolithic target on amd64.
[ Colin Watson ]
* Only generate /etc/lsb-release if a udeb hasn't already provided it.
* Move "main/debian-installer" (for sources.list.udeb) to a
UDEB_COMPONENTS variable in build/config/common, so that people can more
easily build with e.g. non-free udebs.
* Include module-init-tools-udeb when using udev; busybox modprobe doesn't
seem to support enough of newer kernel features like aliases and
blacklisting to be usable there yet.
* Use [2.6] for udev pkg-lists instead of kernel_specific.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Switch to root=/dev/ram in syslinux configs to support 2.6.14 post-devfs

* Did away with the kernel_specific pkg-lists directories.
* Back to managing localudebs with apt. To support secure apt,
authentication is disabled and a warning printed if there are any udebs
in the localudebs directory. During an official build there will not be
any and the downloaded udebs will be properly authenticated.
* pkg-list: Turn off debugging as the dep resolutuon stuff is working ok
now.

[ Joey Hess ] * Add cramfsprogs dependency for mipsel. Closes: #334780 * Syslinux ignores failures due to being out of disk space (#335152). Avoid this bug by running syslinux on the original, empty disk image. * If the boot logo can't be copied onto a floppy, don't fail, just proceed on without a boot logo. Yes, we're that short on space on the i386 boot floppies, no more logos for them until space is freed up. * Deal with changed case of Kernel-Version fields in stat generation code.

* Use cramfs images on mipsel. Current mipsel binaries compress very well.
Needs newest mipsel kernel udebs.
* Drop EXTRALIBS. Use EXTRAFILES, code was the same, and it's not used
otherwise.
* Copy in EXTRAFILES before depmod so modules can be included if necessary.
* Remove libiw udeb from netboot-minimal/powerpc.cfg, will be pulled in by
mklibs/deps as needed.
* During library reduction, copy in libraries from driver disks same as
other libraries so mklibs knows where to find them. This is a hack to
let mklibs work if building a root floppy with driver disks that include
libraries that are not on the root floppy. It's not ideal, since the
library gets added to the root floppy by mklibs now. (This issue currently
only occurs because netcfg, on the root floppies, is linked statically
and wireless-tools, on some the driver disks, is not.)
* Back to building from udebs in etch (yeah, it really works now).

* updates for hppa support of 2.6.12 kernels
[ Sylvain Ferriol ]
* When ONLINE=n, APT must not cleanup lists directory.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Add preseed-common to all initrds, split out from file/network-preseed.
* Add initrd-preseed too.
* Add a PRESEED variable, which can be used to specify a preseed file to
add to the initrd in the location initrd-preseed expects to find one
(/preseed.cfg).
* Default PRESEED to unstable.cfg, which sets mirror/udeb/suite, which
means that all d-i developmental and daily builds that download udebs
will download them from unstable, not testing.
* However, in release builds of the package, this is unset, so those will
pull udebs from testing as previously.
* Try adding root=/dev/fd0 to the silo.floppy.conf since at least the 2.4
kernel floppies are reported to not boot without it. This change may
also affect the 2.6 kernel floppies, which need to be tested.
Closes: #301374
* Make syslinux configs use "install" as the label to install, in
preparation for rescue mode. "linux" continues to work for
compatability.
* Add "install24" and "expert24" labels to syslinux configs, in
preparation for making i386 use 2.6 by default.
* Turn on dependency resolution for nic-extra-modules, especially useful
since it has a new dependency in 2.6.11.
* Turn on dependency resolution for standard-udebs and
kernel-module-udebs. This allos most of the mess in monolithic/common
to be removed as the dependencies pull most of it in, except where
they're still broken.
* When preseeding mirror/suite, don't make it be seen, so user can
override from the default.
* Recent additions (initrd-preseed) made the el-torito image too big on
i386, drop usb CD support from it to make it build again.
Stop abusing the build system in sparc.cfg by pretending that cdrom
and miniiso are subarches. Add a "combined" subarch for these images
that really contain both sparc64 and sparc32 support.
* Included 2.6.8 kernel for amd64. Closes: #307306
* Add support for creating initramfs initrd images (needs rootskel 1.12).
* Move /unifont.bgf into lib. Needs rootskel 1.12.
* Resisted the urge to drop i386 el-torito images, which filled up again
once 2.6 fb-modules was fixed, and instead just dropped all translations
from these (unused) images.
* Add rescue-check to all images.
* Add rescue, rescue24, and rescue26 boot options in syslinux.
* To document these in syslinux, removed the old, useless f9.txt, and
shifted f4 through f8 up one; the new f4 documents rescue mode.
* Updated one place in the manual that referred to fn documents to reflect
above change.
* Document rescue mode in ia64 boot screens, but don't add stanzas for it
since that would go over the limit of 16. Users will have to type
rescue/enable=true
* Add stanzas for rescue mode and document in sparc boot screen.
* Remove devfs=mount from syslinux.cfg. Needs rootskel-bootfloppy 1.13.
* Use dependency resolution for floppy-retriever, since mountfloppy has
been split off of it and into a dependency.
* Add bugreporter-udeb to the i386 root floppy, to cdrom images, and even
to netboot images, so users can use it to report bugs earlier. Add
commented out versions to other images on which it won't be very useful,
since it currently required floppy support.
* Update the manual for the /var/log/debian-installer ->
/var/log/installer move.
* Update the manual for the bugreporter-udeb rename, and for its
new capailities.
* Add an /etc/lsb-release file to the initrd, which includes the image
build date. Useful for determining the provenance of an image.
Closes: #250321
* bugreporter-udeb got renamed and is now on more images.
* Remove redundant rootskel entry from access floppy's package list.
* Add mountfloppy to each initrd that contains save-logs, except for the
s390 generic one. save-logs can now drop its dependency on mountfloppy.
* Make the image tarball be listed as raw-installer in the changes file.
* Switch to localechooser.
* Drop all translations from the m68k floppy, which filled up when
localechooser was added to it, since it didn't have countrychooser on it
before.
* Add new env-preseed to base pkg-list.
* Turn of dpkg logging during image building. Need to depend on new dpkg
for this.
* Add support for virtual packages to pkg-lists.
* Set DEBIAN_VERSION to etch.
* Switch from hw-detect-full to disk-detect.
* Updates for libiw28. Remove libiw27 from build deps and from exclude
list, since the udeb is in fact used now to provide the library and
netcfg's dependencies have been fixes. Enable dependency resolution
for netcfg. Now no more updates should be needed here when libiw
changes.
* Temporarily disable nano from all images, as it's linked to slang2 and
the rest of d-i is not, and library reduction cannot cope with two
slangs.
* Change udeb list format to match file format expected by katie (add
arch field).
* Make update-manifest also manage a MANIFEST.udeb file listing the udebs
inside each file in the manifest, and pass prameters to update-manifest
calls to provide this information.
* Include a udeb.list, based on the MANIFEST.udeb, but munged so katie can
read it natively, inside the images tarball. This will be used to
ensure that sources for d-i images do not fall out of the archive.
* Copyright file updates for 2005.

* Switch to slang2.
* Switch from busybox-cvs to busybox.
* New busybox supports 2.6 modules, so the hack with modutils-udeb is not
needed anymore.
* Add isolinux.cfg files to the debian-cd-into tarball, so that we
don't have to maintain the same stuff in debian-cd.
* Switch i386 images that contain a 2.6 kernel to boot 2.6 by default,
install24 etc boot 2.4.
* Allow apt to run unauthenticated in offline mode since it may not have
cached a Release.gpg.
* di-utils-bootfloppy removed, pipe_progress moved to busybox.

* Copy KEYRING into the initrd, as /usr/share/keyrings/archive.gpg. I'm
relying on the keyring being small here, although we should really have
a keyring udeb instead.
* Build-depend on gnupg; apt requires it to verify signatures.
* Add udev pkg-lists files (including both udev and hotplug); not used by

* Add real alternatives for virtual glibc-pic build-dependency.
* Remove powerpc-builtin-initrd.sh and corresponding bzip2

* Remove file-preseed from netboot; that won't work since netboot never
mounts a CD, duh.
* Enable text frontend for netboot on all arches.
* Aribitrarily increased sparc ramdisk_size to 9000 from 8192, since
it's at least 8230 big now due to added languages.
* Build-depend on newest libdebian-installer as some udebs have a versioned
dependency on it.
* Switch i386 to 2.6.12 kernel.
* Add support for running upx on binaries inside the initrd, and turn it
on for a marginal space gain in the (full) i386 boot floppy.
* Remove usb floppy support from speakup boot floppy since it's terminally
low on space.
* Add comments to control file about build deps and add genbuilddeps which
generates the build dep line based on the comments.
* As part of the review, removed ncurses-base (not used since we got the
terminfo udeb), and libnewt0.51 (pulled in by a dep from libnewt-dev)
and cpio (WTF?)
[ dann frazier ]
* Switch ia64 to 2.6.12 kernel.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Turned on dependency resolution by default for udebs in pkg-lists.
* Add libnss-files-udeb to exclude list to work around bug #322506
(removed again as #322506 was fixed and the exclusion broke
network-console for S/390 - FJP).
* Optimise pkg-lists a bit.
* rootskel-locale renamed to installation-locale.
* Move md5sums and udeb.list generation into "release" target of
build/Makefile and run these as part of the daily build too.
* Cleaned up various userdevfs cruft, goes along with a reworked
userdevfs udeb.
* As part of userdevfs cleanup, removed m68k initrd22 images,
the regular initrds should work wih 2.2 kernels.
* Add ads subarch for arm, with a "cf" image flavour used to boot
various ADS arm boards from compact flash. There is not yet a kernel for
these boards in Debian, so the images do not include a kernel and must be
used with a monolithic kernel (from ADS).
* The stats targets no longer build any images. If the image is not built,
it just won't display stats for it. This is mainly to work around a bug
that affected the daily builds, where running stats in a separate fakeroot
after the build would run build again, and rebuild initrds based on the
trees in tmp, messing up permissions and devices. It also removes a lot of
unnucessary work in stats, and allows simpler invocation of stats by
the daily-build script.
* Don't regenerate the list of udebs in an image in stats, this was
redundant info and was slow and ugly to generate there.
* Remove config/local from svn and add a comment to config/common about
making the file.
* Add an evil workaround for bug #329733.

cdrom-core-modules and fs-common-modules from netboot images, and adds
parport-modules to apus/cdrom (I think it was missing by mistake).
- Add support for kernel-specific pkg-lists entries: use lines like
"package [2.2 2.4]" or "package * [2.6]". Should eventually form a

- Include initrd.list on amd64/i386 images.

- Add page markers to the syslinux help screens.
- Update install manual section 3.5 to note that d-i can resize fat,
and to de-emphasise the fips stuff. Closes: #265029
- Finish moving installation howto to manual.
- Remove now-useless index.en.html.
- 24 mb installs are now possible on i386.
- Add -- to the end of the syslinux kernel append lines so user-params

- Add preseed udebs to initrds and document preseeding in manual.
Closes: #265988
- Bump genext2fs build dep to avoid building images with broken versions.
- Remove the ugly and no longer needed genext2fs size hack.
- Remove the last uses of load-installer, replacing them with
download-installer.
- i386 updated to 2.6.8 and 2.4.27 kernels.
- Add acpi-modules to i386 2.6 initrds so the fan can be turned on.
Closes: #264584.
- Remove function key descriptions from the bottom of the ia64 help
screens, as in my experience the function keys only work from the
menu screen.
- Make ia64 boot screens somewhat more generic so they can be used for
netboot or other image types besides CD.
- Use only one elilo.conf for netboot and CD.
- Revamp the ia64 netboot, provide a netboot.tar.gz image that contains
a fully preconfigured netboot setup with boot menus for 2.6 and 2.4.
Make the dest tree have the same layout.
- Add -- markers to elilo.cfg boot options.
- Update i386 and amd64 netboot to follow ia64. Note that the tarballs
have been renamed.
- Fix ia64 miniiso support to not hardcode use of specific boot image,
remove the miniiso type, and generate a netboot miniiso instead.
- Simplify bootscreen-subst parameters.
- Based on a patch from Alex Owen, make syslinux help screens explain
on serial consoles how to press function keys there, and add a pxelinux
config file for 9600 baud serial consoles, available by changing the
pxelinux.cfg link.
- Comment out the "NewWorld MacOS Installation Files" section of the
install manual as it's out of date and has broken links. Closes: #269526
- Add support for depenency resolution to pkg-lists. For now it has to be
turned on on a per-package basis by appending an asterisk to the line,
since many udebs have messed up dependencies and inter-image
dependencies are not accounted for.
- Make pkg-list warn about unsatisfied dependencies.
- Use dependency resolution for the nic-modules package, as its
dependencies vary from arch to arch and kernel to kernel. Fixes various
missing deps on i386 and ia64.
- Use dependency resolution for scsi-modules to get rid of the
kernel_specific hack.
- Drop scsi-modules and usb-storage-modules from ia64 netboot image.
- Put efi-reader on ia64 cdrom image.
- Remove ia64-extra-modules hack, not needed thanks to nic-modules and
scsi-modules dependency resolution.
- Add dependencies of nic-usb-modules to net-drivers floppy (usb-modules
was missing).
- Remove useless (and missing dependencies) usb-storage-modules from
cd-drivers floppy. This made space to add back full pcmcia support on
this floppy.
- Add options to elilo boot menu for serial console installs, as I tire
of typing them.
- Split access-drivers floppy into net and cd drivers and updated these
floppies to 2.4.27.
- Remove ide and scsi modules from various arches netboot images.
- Move some files to a doc/devel subdirectory.
- Moved partman docs over from packages/partman, and build them as part
of the doc build process. Add build dep on debiandoc-sgml.
- Also moved in partman-auto recipe documentation.
- Added example preseed file for automated installs.
- Rewrote design.txt.
- Use text frontend for ia64 installs via serial console by default,
since the default ia64 serial console is 9600 baud.
- Add English to i386 root floppies. Closes: #269971
- Set build date to the version date from the changelog when doing
official builds, so all builds of a given version claim the same date.
- Add a dummy entry to the status file for that gives the overall version
of the installer image.
- Build-Depend on syslinux 2.11-0.1 to get fix for parameter bug.
- Drop all languages from root floppy. Drop all other localised versions
of root floppy. Document how to make a custom root floppy containing
the language(s) you need.
(PC 101: If you can't satisfy everyone, satisfy no-one.)
- Move countrychooser back to the root floppy.
- Add wireless-tools-udeb and nic-usb-modules to the root floppy because
we have the space, so why not?
- Update hppa to 2.4.27 kernel. Without testing it, but the 2.4.25 kernel
udebs are no longer available. We need hppa developers..
- Patch from Jö Fahlke to consistently refer to DEBCONF_FRONTEND in docs.
debconf/frontend doesn't work everywhere yet, and it's better to only
support one option.

use them in various other configs. This makes it easier to switch
kernels and makes the code easier to maintain.

- Debian CDs haven't used /install/powermac for a long time. Switch the
d-i minimal CD targets to use plain /install.
- Add -- to the end of the yaboot kernel append lines so user-params can
work.
- Don't clean at the end of the daily build (we already clean at the
start).
- Move socket-modules from powerpc root-2 to root, otherwise syslogging
won't work.
- Remove serial-modules from root-2. It's only needed for strange PPP
stuff which is not needed on the floppies.
- Remove PCMCIA support and wireless tools from root-2. The floppies are
only needed on OldWorld, which probably either won't have PCMCIA or
will have built-in networking. In the rare cases where this might be
needed, you can always throw the udeb on a floppy.
- Remove nic-extra-modules from powerpc net-drivers. We've changed the
module udebs so that all drivers likely to be needed on OldWorld are
in nic-modules.
- Move everything else from root-2 to net-drivers, and remove root-2.
* Steve Langasek

nic-modules depend on firewire-modules for 2.6 kernels.
- Remove ipv6-modules and wireless-tools-udeb from the i386 net-drivers
floppy to get back under the floppy size limit. Closes: #261625

improved docs on PXE booting for i386 (Closes: #232252),
rewritten section of downloading files that avoids bad links and
outdated image names (Closes: #246890), document ramdisk_size for lilo

only prep is missing now.
* Colin Watson
- Add usb-storage-modules and scsi-common-modules to the powerpc cdrom
initrds.
- Add cdrom-core-modules, input-modules, firewire-core-modules, and
scsi-core-modules to the powerpc 2.6 cdrom initrds. Should actually
work now.
- Add pcmcia udebs to powerpc net_drivers floppy and netboot images.
- Move $(TREE)/usr/lib/kernel-image-$(KERNELVERSION) out of the way to
$(TEMP)/lib when building boot images. powerpc subarchitectures that
need to use mkvmlinuz should now be able to do so.
- For every initrd, output an initrd.list file containing the packages
and their versions used to construct it.
- debootstrap-udeb is now priority optional. Add it back into monolithic
images.
- Drop G5 images; power4 works on G5s as of linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6
0.62. Build power4 netboot 2.6 images.
- Remove install-safe and expert-safe targets, advising people to add
'video=ofonly' instead. The -safe targets have got rather out of hand
on full CDs, so I'd like to think about removing them there.
- daily-build copies the previous build before rsyncing up the new one.
This saved 82MB of upload for my powerpc build.
- Add nic-shared-modules to powerpc netboot images, needed by
nic-modules.
- Bump powerpc 2.6 kernels to 2.6.7. Add firmware-modules, much as on
i386.

- Change netcfg/use_dhcp to netcfg/disable_dhcp in syslinux boot screens
and elsewhere.
- Update i386 to the 2.6.7 kernel.
- Add firmware-modules to i386 images that have either nic-modules or
scsi-modules on them. Make this happen only for the 2.6 kernel, using a
nasty pkg-lists/kernel_specific technique since we lack dependency
resolution in pkg-lists.
- Go back to pulling udebs from unstable when building official images.
- Produce a single hd-media boot image that includes both kernels.
- Parameterise filenames and paths in the syslinux.cfg files so that
files can have different names or locations.
- Provide a pxeboot.tar.gz on i386 that can just be untarred into a
tftpserver file space for easy PXE boot setup, and update

and partman needs to find cdroms to set up the fstab properly.
- Add pcmcia-storage-modules to the cd-drivers floppy. The rest of pcmcia
support is too lasge to fit on the floppy, so for now the net-drivers
floppy will also have to be loaded to access pcmcia cdroms.
- Update i386 kernel to 2.4.26 (with the SATA backports).

- Add nic-usb-modules to net-drivers floppy.
- Document noapic on f5.txt. Closes: #238609

- Add parted-udeb to powerpc monolithic list.
* Joey Hess
- Access floppy is out of space, so drop all non-English text from
it (any better ideas?).
- For the monolithic target, include all kernel module udebs matching the
kernel from localudebs, and also any non-kernel udebs, automatically, to
make building custom kernels easier
- Add a pkg-lists/kernel_specific, for 2.4 and 2.6, currently
discover varies depending on the kernel major version, and there is a
hack to use module-init-tools over busybox for 2.6.
- Also add a kernel_specific isa-pnp-modules list, since 2.4 has the
module and package, and 2.6 does not.
- Add a new field to pkg-lists to get the kernel major version, and a
KERNELMAJOR variable.
- Add a monolithic_2.6 image type, a hd-media_2.6, and a netboot_2.6,
none currently on by default, that use the 2.6 kernel. So far for i386
only.
- Also added 2.6 versions of the cdrom targets, though the el-torito
one is out of space and disabled.
* Martin Michlmayr
- Add a netboot image for MIPS based Cobalt machines.
- Use 2.4.25 kernels for mips and mipsel.

- Add all sorts of sparc/sparc64 floppy support, with a net-drivers
disk for sparc64.
- Add cdrom-core-modules dependency for cdrom/sparc.cfg, but only
for sparc64. Hardcode it in because we don't support ${kernel:Version}
in package names that aren't always available on one of the
architectures being built for.

fixed earlier.
- Out of space on the root floppy again. Split off a asian-root floppy.
- Remove the pcmcia stuff from the cd-drivers floppy, it was too big.
- Force the driver floppies to be of size FLOPPY_SIZE.
- Add custom-kernel.txt
- Add new image type, "monolithic", which build an initrd and a miniiso
that contain all standard priority udebs, and does not need any other
udebs to install Debian. This simple image type will be much easier to
use for custom d-i builds, as you don't need to set up a CD or a mirror.
It's also great for testing changes to $RANDOM_UDEB.

- Add build-dep on bzip2 for powerpc, used by powerpc-builtin-initrd.sh to
unpack the kernel tree.

- Add the kernel udeb to the root floppy pkg lists. It will be removed
from the free dring build, but this will both give us an entry for the
kernel in the status file, to prevent anna from doing bad things, and
also will provide a System.map for depmod to run against, fixing
builds on 2.6 kernels.

- Always include /dev/console, even for images that will use devfs.
This means that netboot users will not have to remember the devfs=mount.

- Add another dh_testroot call before udebs are downloaded.
- Document debian-installer/probe/usb=false in syslinux f7.txt.

having mklibs copy in the system one. Remove build-dep.
- same for libdebian-installer-4-udeb, although it is not currently any
smaller
- before running mklibs, copy all the libs from lib and usr/lib in the
initrd to a temporary directory, and add that to mklib's search path
with -L. This will make it avoid copying in large versions of libs from
the build system if there is already a small version available in the

screen
- Remove the encoding grep, all non-utf8 encodings should be fixed now.
- Fix make dependency loop on hppa and sparc where FLOPPY_SIZE is not set.
Closes: #225389
- Add expert and expert-safe boot modes to yaboot.
- Pass devfs=mount,dall in yaboot.conf for new powerpc kernel.

debian-installer (20031226) unstable; urgency=low
* Thiemo Seufer
- "make reallyclean" should really clean.
- Fix build failure, images/ wasn't created.
* Joey Hess
- Add fakeroot to build-depends, as the debian/rules uses it in the build
target. Should fix FTBFS on mips.
- Don't put docs under images/, so debian-cd will find them.

debian-installer (20031223) unstable; urgency=low
* Joey Hess
- Generate bootable hd-media images, not just the initrd.
These can be written directly the usb memory stick, then mounted
and a d-i iso copied in. As they're quite big (and sparse),
they are gzipped.
- NB: The above change means you need 128+ mb more free space to
build this package on i386.
- If System.map is included in the kernel image udeb, pass it to depmod
via -F and delete it when done. This is to support building on systems
running 2.6.
- Remove ide modules stuff from net drivers floppy. I don't know why it
was there, but its deps were not met and this could cause ugly messages
during install.
- Remove the same ide modules from i386 netboot.
- Document the bootkbd boot parameter in syslinux f7.txt.
- Add "expert" mode boot to syslinux, which sets DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low.
- Include a doc/index.en.html in the install-images tarball, so
debian-cd will find some documentation and not include the boot floppies
docs.
- Include INSTALLATION-HOWTO there too, by way of a gross, gross hack.
- netcfg reorg
- scsi-common-modules reorg
- Grep out several encodings that confuse reduce-font:
ISO-8859-*, EUC-JP, CP1251. This is a temporary hackaround to get it
building again.
- Access floppy filled up, so move the network stuff to the access_drivers
floppy. That filled up access_drivers, so comment out SCSI support at
least for now.
- Turn ia64 back on, let's see if it builds now.
* Thiemo Seufer
- Build the demo tree only for architectures which support it.
- Don't build images for the demo target.
- Ensure TYPE=demo for the Makefile's demo target.
- Remove stamp files for tree and get_udebs at the begin of their rule,
create them at the rule's end.
- Ignore errors for the all_clean target.
- Don't use USERDEVFS for linux-mips.
- Fix 'make clean' if type demo is unsupported.
* Marco d'Itri
- Add preliminary support for .ko kernel modules.

debian-installer (20031212) unstable; urgency=low
* Joey Hess
- Switch i386 to using dhcp-client rather than pump for netboot.
Left it using pump on other arches that did not already use dhcp-client,
at least for now.
- Switch i386, hppa, and ia64 to dhcp-client rather than udhcp
on the root floppy.
- Switch powerpc to pump on the root floppy.
- Switch i386 to dhcp-client rather than udhcp on the access floppy.
- Switch from pump to dhcp-client on powerpc.
- Add disk labels to the i386 floppy images, for use by the bootfloppy
initrd, and maybe later by the floppy retreiver, etc.
- In debian/rules, if the changelog is unreleased, use unstable as the
DISTRIBUTION.
- makelabel takes the build date as its second parameter. Calculating
BUILD_DATE once at the start to avoid inconsistencies during
long/midnight builds.
- Add MEDIA_TYPE to configs for bootable image types.
- Add DEBIAN_VERSION to config.
- Add bootscreen-subst to substitute these variables into boot screens.
- Make a syslinux help screen, for all i386 syslinuxed boot media.
Includes the build date, debian version, and media type, and is derived
from isolinux help texts on the sarge cds, but modified to actually
match d-i:
- remove boot flavor docs, as we currently have no flavors
- remove rescue stuff, as d-i is not currently also a rescue disk
- reduce number of colors used for cleaner look
- remove mention of non-free
- try to make the prerequisites documentation somewhere close to
reality -- 64 mb ram and 256 mb disk.
- make every boot message screen 22 lines long, followed by a blank
line (which is in turn followed by the boot: prompt), for consistent
display
- remove references in f4.txt to a nonexistant table
- remove documentation of mono and vga16:off, as they do not work with
d-i
- remove keytimer hack documentation, that was for boot-floppies
- add documentation of d-i's boot time parameters, including the new
debian-installer/framebuffer=false
- remove the mailing list subscription info; boot time is not the
time to tell the user about this. In its place, make f9.txt be
about Debian.
- Remove DEBCONF_DEBUG setting from syslinux.cfg.
- Use bootscreen-subst on powerpc's boot.msg, too.
- Comment out the udeb apt status file stuff in get-packages, now is not
the time to be breaking the build with that.
- Build depend on elilo on ia64. This had better be the last one.
* Goswin von Brederlow
- Moved fetching of (u)debs into get-packages shell script.
- Changed sources.list to sources.list.udeb, added sources.list.deb.
- Allowed "deb file:/..." urls in /etc/apt/sources.list, (Closes: #221031)
simplified sed expression and change file to copy urls.
- Add explaining error message when apt-get update fails
- get-packages: Only seed dpkg status with libs when getting udebs
- pkg-lists/cdrom/alpha: missing input-modules-${kernel:Version}
- pkg-lists/mirror_udeb: lists for a partial mirror suitable for the CDs
- Drop pump-udeb (netboot on alpha, s390 and sparc) in favour of
dhcp-client-udeb
- debain/control: added Build-Depends: mkisofs
- daily-build: changed to copy last days images and rsync new ones
- daily-build: don't let the builder wait for logs, use tee
- No discover for mips/mipsel
- Added arch mips to the debian-installer.deb (Closes: #221534)
* Thiemo Seufer
- Fix error handling in tftpboot.sh
* Chris Tillman
- Add DEBCONF_PRIORITY note to powerpc boot message.
- Add MacRISC3 & 4 to ofboot.b for compatibility with G4/G5 powerpcs
* Mario Lang
- Add new boot floppy flavour "speakup" which uses a speakup-enabled
kernel version.
- Update the access flavour to use the same kernel version as the
speakup flavour.
- Update the access_drivers common and i386 pkg-list.
* Thiemo Seufer
- Sanitize tftpboot.sh. It aborts now on errors and won't move/copy
files around without good reason. Changed mipsel image generation
to t-rex.
- Add pkg-lists/netboot/mips.
- Add fdisk to the mips/mipsel CD images, add AT keyboard support
to mips image.
- Add AT keyboard support to mips demo image.
- Polish make/arch/linux-mips{,el} a bit.
- Switch config/arch/linux-mips to kernel 2.4.22 with -di flavour.

debian-installer (20031113) unstable; urgency=low
* Joey Hess
- Add new loop-modules to bootfloppy, hd-media.
- Move input-modules from root floppy to bootfloppy, as the new
rootskel-bootfloppy prompts for the user to hit enter.
- Remove redundant usb-discover and usb-modules from root floppy;
the boot floppy takes care of that.
- Remove fat-modules and floppy-modules from the root floppy; they
boot floppy loads them.
- Create DEST before copying in DEST_KERNEL.
- ia64 build-depends on dosfstools. Closes: #219919
- sparc build-depends on genromfs. Closes: #220208
- remove brltty from everything except access. It is causing problems
(#219928) on sparc at least.
- add nic-extra-modules to netboot for i386, as it fits and netboot
should support as much as it can
- try to get full UTF-8 going on netboot
- add nano to netboot
* Richard Hirst
- Add mtools as a build-dep for ia64

archive is linked against libdebian-installer3 which is no longer
available.
- Stop including debootstrap-udeb in cdrom pkg-list for ia64.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 07 Nov 2003 22:31:07 +0000

of every component of the images.
* Uppercased the md5sums filename.
* New retriever menu setup:
- add load-floppy and download-installer to floppy
- add load-installer to cdrom, netboot
- add load-iso to hd-media
- add load-cdrom, hw-detect-full, ide-core-modules, and cdrom-detect
to cd_drivers, which is actually usable now
* Remove pcmcia-udeb from pkg-lists, hw-detect took over.
* Make d-i-demo catch SIGINT, clean up properly.
* Fix kernel module package names in udeb_include for driver floppies.
* Alastair McKinstry:
- Add additional shade characters to fix the scroll bar in the newt
frontend.
- The terminfo entries are now provided by di-utils-terminfo, not
the Makefile.
* Richard Hirst:
- Misc ia64 fixes - define KERNEL_FLAVOUR, clean up pkglists, etc
* Improved the description of debian-installer-demo. Closes: #219255

debian-installer (20031029) unstable; urgency=low
* Initial release.
* This includes a deb that lets a demo of the installer be run
(and triggers autobuilders), but the main payload is the
debian-installer-images tarball, which is designed to be unpacked
by ftp-master into the ftp site.
* Set architecture to i386, powerpc for now. More will be added
once d-i works on them well enough to distribute images.
