+ Track whether a dependency chain is caused by a hard dependency
(Depends) or soft (Recommends/Suggests). If we fail to add a package
down the chain on a *soft* dependency, don't invalidate the entire
chain.
+ When checking OR dependencies, *first* check to see if any of the
options are already installed *before* trying to install the first
option. Helps a lot with circular deps such as task-lxde-desktop ->
task-desktop -> (task-gnome-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | etc.); in
this case, of course task-lxde-desktop should satisfy the OR dep.
menu (pulled in by desktop tasks),
aptitude (pulled in by debootstap, and may be demoted to optional),
alsa-utils, alsa-base (pulled in by task-desktop),
mdetect, read-edid (no longer used by xorg),
grub (handed by generate_di+k_list),
deborphan, debfoster, localepurge (expert user stuff),
chdrvfont (no such package any more)
* Updated generate_di+k_list to match more closely the current
packages d-i apt-installs.
+ removed architectures: alpha arm hppa
+ removed releases: etch lenny
+ removed unversioned data/sparc and data/yaboot, versioned
equivalents are in place already.
+ Switch to “3.0 (native)” source format to get rid of .svn
directories in the source package (when built from the svn checkout
directly)
+ Support build-arch/build-indep targets in debian/rules.
+ Drop executable rights from tools/boot/wheezy/boot-hurd
(and fix debian/rules to not re-add it).
+ Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2 (no change required).
Falls back to old location so update_tasks can still be used with old
tasksel.
This does not deal with most of the task information being removed from
debian-tasks.desc. The file still has Key fields, that now list the task-*
packages, and the packages Depend on the crucial packages for the task.
So to that extent it should continue to work.
However, with NORECOMMENDS set, the Recommended other packages for tasks
won't be included on CD. This still needs to be dealt with, probably by
adding all packages listed in Recommends of task-* packages to the
generated task list files.
+ Removed all mention of 686-bigmem as it's now gone
+ Moved 686 to interesting-fromcd23
+ Added 686-pae onto CD#1 in place of 686
+ Leave the 486 kernel on CD#1 still, for people who can't use 686-pae
report errors instead of silently failing.
Split out the code for starting a new disc into a function.
Pick up on a potential bug: if we finish the last (expected) disc with
a backed-out file, make sure we create another imaget to include that
file too.
gets out of date, look for firmware/microcode files directly in the
Packages file. Check for things installing in /lib/firmware, and add
those packages.
