+ Add better support for extra components, improve non-i386 mirror
support (Closes: 514237)
+ tools/update_tasks no longer assumes i386 for all builds (Closes: #513497)
+ tools/which_deb no longer assumes i386 for all builds (Closes: #513498)
* For source-only builds, don't do any task updates as they're not
useful anyway.
* Last high-urgency upload, ready for Lenny!
This environment variable was used by simple-cdd to force the default
installation option to the graphical installer. Now that we have the
syslinux VESA menu, the option has become rather pointless.
See #512303 for discussion.
Include all four desktop environments supported by tasksel (GNOME, KDE,
LXDE and Xfce).
On x86 also add an option in the isolinux menu (under Advanced options)
to select which DE to install; GNOME remains default.
Supports installation of either an xfce or an lxde desktop environment.
For now use B as identifier for INSTALLER_CD in contrib/testingcds.
Includes a framework to manipulate the isolinux configuration for x86 so
that a user can select which desktop he wishes to install.
For now use A as identifier for INSTALLER_CD in contrib/testingcds;
we should probably switch to a double digit scheme post lenny or
even generally rationalize the use of INSTALLER_CD.
* Instead of duplicating what language tasks should be included in each
task.list.* file, let update_tasks add them dynamically at runtime from a
single list of languages supported by tasksel and D-I. This also makes
maintaining the lists a lot less painful.
* Indicate which tasks are "secondary" by adding a "-" suffix in task.list.*
files instead of hardcoding it in update_tasks.
This is mainly to have the desktop= option passed correctly.
Also switch to space separation in -hppa-cmdline for consistency with
other architectures.
By first assembling the command in a variable and then using eval to execute it
we avoid both duplication and errors passing quoted options in $MKISOFS_OPTS.
so that we can archive them (both binaries and sources). If we need
anything, we will list it in CD$N.pkgs_extracted so that external
scripts can pick it up and do whatever's needed.
* Minor changes to the interface of tools/which_deb to accommodate that:
now just lists the files *within* the mirror; it's up to callers to
prepend ${MIRROR} as needed.
Modify the syslinux configuration for amd64/i386 multi-arch images
and use ifcpu64.c32 to autodetect 32/64-bit systems when a user hits
enter from the isolinux help screens.
Based on research done and info provided by Franklin Piat.
Currently the isolinux configuration only gets created correctly if the
two arches are specified in the order "amd64 i386". Change the lenny x86
boot script so it works the other way around too.
All tasks files are moved to ./tasks/<codename> subdirectories so they
can be more easily kept up-to-date with specific distro releases.
Always generate the debian-installer and tasksel tasks dynamically:
- all task files for the desired suite are copied to the working
directory at the beginning of each build, and are used from there;
- the debian-installer and tasksel tasks are no longer included in
releases but are always created automatically at build time; this
means users no longer need to run the generate_di_* scripts or the
update_tasksel script;
- the popcon task file will remain included as a static file, but plan
is to add an option to update it automatically for each build; reason
is that updating it requires network access.
Bump version to 3.1.
