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.
+ 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!
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.
must be runnable on them, make it chack for absence of amd64 Packages
files and add a dummy kernel for amd64. This will need to be manually
kept up-to-date by the amd64 people for now.
- Didn't fix generate_di_list the same way, since doing so would be too
hard. Next time tasks/debian-installer is updated using this script on
a machine w/o the unofficial amd64 archive, the am64 info in the file
will be lost.
- Add DO NOT EDIT warning messages to generated files in cvs.
- Check and revert manual modifications to tasks/base-sarge. This file is
automatically generated and those mods would have been lost:
- Add fileutils to generate_d-i+k_list, "until kernels get fixed",
whatever that means.
- arcboot was already in generate_d-i+k_list.
- Update tasks/debian-installer+kernel using generate_d-i+k_list.
- Sort package lists in tasks/base-sarge to ease comparisons when
updating.
- Update tasks/base-sarge for debootstrap 0.2.45. This includes the
following removals:
- aboot: already listed in debian-installer+kernel
- gcc-3.2-base, libdb2, libgcrypt1, libgnutls7, libident,
libdb2, libtasn1-0: obsolete
- modconf: obsoleted by d-i
- setserial: not base anymore
- slang1: turned into slang1a-utf8
- libident: not needed by base anymore
- lilo: in debian-installer+kernel
- mbr: not installed anymore
- pcmcia-cs: in debian-installer+kernel
- syslinux: not installed
- "filesutils": typo; fileutils in generate_d-i+k_list for m68k
- quik: in debian-installer+kernel
- yaboot: in debian-installer+kernel
- arcboot: in debian-installer+kernel
- delo: in debian-installer+kernel
And the following additions:
- libdb4.2, libgcrypt11, libgcrypt7, libgnutls10, libgnutls11,
libgpg-error0, libtasn1-2: new libraries
- console-tools: now installed by debootstrap even on s390
