of in list2cds. Slight changes in semantics - the new code supports
regular expressions for matching package names (to make it easier to
exclude groups of related packages), and EXCLUDE<m> should be used in
preference to EXCLUDE for packages that are just being shifted to
later in the set by using UNEXCLUDE<n>.
#402354. Fixes the long-standing warnings from list2cds about "Use
of uninitialized value in string comparison", and allows some poor
packages to make it onto CDs for the first time...
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
first CD where possible. We then make 2 copies of this, one with
non-US and one without. Useful for people wanting to create non-US and
US-safe CD sets without having to spend so much disk space.
Side-effects: The CD tress are now $(DIR)/CD<foo> instead of
$(DIR)/<foo>
* Changed how the sizelimit is get by the scripts (they could have ignored
values given by the environment variable).
* Put the documentation tree from the mirror on the first CD only.
setup which consists of an NFS mounted archive, the NFS mount was also
used for the tmp space since it had room, and the iso images were
created on the local drive, where it also had room. DOing symlink was
crazy and didn't work too well, and the apt stuff could not be on the
NFS tmp since apt's locking doesn't work on NFS. Problem solved, this
should work exactly like it did before with these defaults though.
COPYLINK basically makes a full copy of the files instead of hardlinking
or symlinking.
