Joey Hess ea87b8decd * Add firmware-linux-nonfree to firmware list. Left firmware-linux for now
though it is now only a dependency package.
* Add firmware-linux-free to firmware list, as a convenient way to make
  it available along with the other firmware files. (It could, instead,
  be included directly in d-i images, if there were a udeb.)

Steve McIntyre 9590c06ddd Add support for coping with packages that are too large to fit. If we
have to remove packages and their dependencies, list them in
README.excluded in the root of disc 1.

Frans Pop d961fb7e0e s390: specify offset and size of the initrd for booting from CD
The old setup worked fine with an ext2 initrd but fails with an initramfs,
either because autodetection is different for initramfs or because of kernel
changes (I suspect the first).
This means that booting s390 from CD has not worked since sometime during the
Etch release cycle, even though support for booting from CD was only added
early in that cycle - ouch.

For booting with an initramfs initrd we apparently need to specify its
offset and size at specific memory locations.

Change is based on SuSE's CD boot. Many thanks to Adam Thornton, Mark Post
(of Novell) and Bastian Blank for providing the pointers to the missing bits.

This fixes booting from CD using the d390.ins file; tested in Hercules for
both Lenny (31-bit kernel) and Squeeze (64-bit kernel).
Booting from CD using the d390.tdf file may still be broken (if possible at
all) as I have no idea how to test that.

Raphaël Hertzog d8a3faa32f * Fallback looking for syslinux/silo/yaboot in $CODENAME when $DI_CODENAME
didn't gave any result. This is useful when using partial mirrors built by
  simple-cdd while trying to build a Debian CD using a newer d-i (in my case
  etch CD with lenny d-i).
* Use dpkg --fsys-tarfile instead of ar for extracting files from deb
  packages. The previous invocation could have failed for packages using
  something other than gzip compression.

Frans Pop c967349160 Recognise and ignore Enhances: lines
Patch from Ian Campbell.

It seems that "apt-cache depends" recently (as of 0.7.22) started
including Enhances lines in its output. Leading to:

 Generating dependency tree with apt-cache depends...
        UNEXPECTED: Line `  Enhances: kvm
        ' while parsing end of deptree from 'kvm-source'
        [etc....]

Ignore these lines.

Frans Pop fe2334131d Add a Xen variant on i386 and amd64
Patch from Ian Campbell.

i386 Xen guests require a PAE (686-bigmem) kernel in order to
run. Therefore this variant includes the relevant installer kernel and
ramdisk in install.386/xen as well as suitable kernel udebs and proper
debs for the installed system.

amd64 Xen has no similar requirement but we include the kernels under
install.amd/xen in order to have a consistent path under both
architectures.

Frans Pop e9c608e6b7 Add support for producing disks with (optional) extra variants
This patch from Ian Cambell adds the generic support code:
   * CONF.sh:		Add $(VARIANTS) configuration variable.
   * eash-build.sh:	Add command line parameter to enable variants.
   * Makefile:		Define VARIANT_xxx when preprocessing package list.
   * boot/?/common.sh:	Add a function for checking if a variant is enabled.
   * generate_di_list: 	Allow variant overrides in udeb exclusion list.

Variant support is documented in docs/README.variants

The intention is to use this support to add support for installing a
Xen guest from an ISO image.

The approach to use varriants was originally suggested by Frans Pop.

bootable. For i386 and amd64 this avoids downloading D-I images for all
30+ CDs in a full set.

Frans Pop d15cc10746 x86: update syslinux config manipulation for version 2.0
Adjust x86 boot scripts for new version (2.0) of framework in D-I for
creation of syslinux configuration files. Essentially the new version
is a backport of what was already implemented in debian-cd before the
release of Lenny and allows a significant simplification.

There are no significant changes in generated CD/DVD images.
