brltty has started pulling in libicu, which has a size of 5MB.
An overhead of 5MB is just too big for netinst CD images for a
package that is only needed by a very small group of users and
that will normally also be available from a mirror (brltty gets
installed during finish-install).
For full CDs and DVDs the package will still get included as it's
listed in forcd1.
Looks like the workaround is still needed after all, so just remove
unifont from the packages that are forced.
Also, add pptp-linux to images using the di+k list instead of through
this hack (changelog says adding it here needed "FIXME later...").
They are no longer installed from D-I as jbfterm was only needed for
base-config and unifont's dependencies have become insane.
Saves 15MB on i386 netinst images.
Make sure packages (loop-aes-utils and loop-aes kernel modules)
are included on the installation CD in case loop-aes encryption
is used during partitioning.
When building a CD for e.g. etch using D-I from e.g. sid, the script should
not update debian-installer+kernel-sid but debian-installer+kernel-etch in
tasks. After all, debian-installer+kernel-* contains normal packages, and
not udebs. With this change we no longer have to modify the Debian_<codename>
tasks in such cases.
The generated file should of course have '#include <debian-installer-sid>'.
include the first one. This reduces the size of the netinst and improves
what's included on CD1. Only loss is console-{data,common,tools} so these
are now added in generate_di+k_list.
* Switch from yaird over to initramfs-tools (same arches)
* Much simplified generate_di+k_list - mips and mipsel don't need script
fragments any more
* Added elilo for i386
* Applied patch from smarenka to add 2.6 kernels for m68k, also 2.4 kernels
for appropriate m68k subarches, and also emile, amiboot, atari-bootstrap,
and initramfs-tools for m68k.
* generate_di+k_list: Switch initamfs generator to per-arch,
based on what base-installer installs:
- initramfs-tools on i386, amd64, alpha, powerpc, arm
- yaird on hppa, ia64, mips, mipsel, sparc, m68k
