+ Remove binary blobs from the package; pull those files from the
.debs in the archive as needed (isolinux.bin, vesamenu.c32)
+ sbm.bin *not* yet worked out, so drop it for now
+ Pull out the code to find the right deb and put it in a new helper
shell script (tools/which_deb), called from Makefile and boot-* as
needed.
simple DOJIGDO config option with MAXISOS and MAXJIGDOS, allowing
more flexibility. Allows us to only produce a small number of iso
images for less-popular architectures but still produce all the jigdo
files, saving a lot of disk space.
through it one package at a time. It's much faster. Closes: #470838
Needs a small re-arrangement: code from tools/add_packages and
tools/link.pl now moves into tools/make_disc_trees.pl
/usr/share. Add a sym-link to cope - let's keep compatible with etch
as much as possible. Also, log what debootstrap told us (in
debootstrap-list) rather than just including the results directly in
rawlist.
file header comments to there. Fix some bugs in passing.
* List packages for the various specific desktop tasks ahead of the non-key
packages for the general desktop task. Along with changes in tasksel 2.60
this should lead to a generally more useful set of packages on the desktop
CDs; instead of filling up with OOo, it will fill up with things specific
to the desktop environment.
* Updated task lists.
* Added support for hook scripts in a few places around the CD
creation process, to help people customise their CDs. Quite a
lot of refactoring needed in make_disc_trees.pl needed to do that.
* Removed more cruft:
+ old defs in CONF.sh
+ old defs and rules in the Makefile
+ tools/add_secured
debian-cd version 3.0.0. Highlights:
* Support now added for multi-arch CDs/DVDs, including mixed
binary/source discs. Multi-arch discs should be bootable on those
multiple arches, modulo boot-sector clashes. Extra support added
in boot-i386 and boot-amd64 to make the 2 main arches happily
co-exist.
* Disc sizing is now much more intelligent - sizes are defined
depending on the disk type chosen at the start, and discs are now
filled exactly to those sizes while files are added rather than
the old up-front guessing method. Equally, the metadata on the
disc (Packages, Packages.gz, Sources, Sources.gz, md5sums.txt) is
generated as much as possible while this is happening to make the
sizing code incredibly accurate. Using this method of disc sizing
means that customising discs should be much easier/safer - either
add custom contents at the start and debian-cd will fill the
remainder of the disc, or afterwards roll back the packages on the
disc and add extras later.
* Source is now treated as (almost) just another arch, with most of
the special casing for source hidden internally. If asking for
source-only discs, they will simply be built using all the
available sources. If combined with other arches, the sources will
automatically be chosen to match the binary packages. Meeting GPL
requirements was never so easy!
* Removed lots of old cruft to clean up the codebase:
+ non-US support
+ woody support
+ lots of old support scripts that have been made redundant
+ significantly simpler Makefile, much easier to follow
+ old boot-$ARCH.calc files for estimating boot-file sizes are now
(obviously) obsolete and therefore gone
md5sums in the installer suite as well as the archive suite in
case they're different. Also removed old woody support, to clean
up the code a little. Updated Makefile and update-cd to match the
command-line interface change.
* Improve support for different disk types. Specify DISKTYPE in CONF.sh,
and it will affect both the output name later (so it's now possible to
distinguish between CDs and DVDs). Defaults to CD if not otherwise
set. DISKTYPE will be used more in the future for sizing too, but that
merge can wait a while longer yet. Closes: #361422
* Use DISKTYPE and COMPLETE values to create the file .disk/cd_type for
the installer to use.
creates Packages files from the Makefile into tools/add_debs
* Split out the code that copies sources into the temporary trees and
creates Sources files from the Makefile into tools/add_source_packages
full CDs.
* Make the full CD have apt-mirror-setup in its udeb_exclude file, to avoid
that component being installed to satisfy apt-setup's dependency on it (I
hope), so that the user is not unncessarily asked for a mirror during a
full CD install, but is still asked for one during installs from the
smaller CDs.
