* 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.
useful to others:
- allow to use different name for final iso image;
- allow to set the script to be used in debootstrap to check if all
base need package are present;
files on each CD/DVD; instead grab the details for each package
directly from the Packages file in the archive. MUCH MUCH faster,
and uses less code too. Affected scripts:
+ tools/scanpackages now just generates Release files. argv[1] used
to be "scan" or "install", but no longer used
+ tools/add_debs slightly simplified - old code removed
+ tools/add_packages now dumps out Packages file fragments as each
.deb and .udeb is copied into the temporary trees
+ WARNING: Any uses of the "before-scanpackages" hook may now break
- shout if you're affected.
