+ Add "FORCE_FIRMWARE=1" to CONF.sh to turn this on
+ Will pick up on packages in the "firmware" task and install them
+ Will also add sym-links to them in CD1/firmware so that new d-i code
can find them easily.
+ Will add a short sentence into README.html/README.txt
* Add top-level control of which checksums are desired for output images
see the CHECKSUMS setting in CONF.sh
* Fix some bashisms in tools/apt-selection.
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
* Add release notes to CD#1 on full CD/DVD sets, and link them from
README.html
* Tweak the generated Release files to be "stable" rather than
"testing"
* Added Sven's patch: a pegasos forth boot script
manual from small CDs to save space. We will probably be adding several
new translations, and possibly PDFs, and that would use too much space
on the small CDs.
- Also make the README link to the manual on the Debian web site if
OMIT_MANUAL=1.
- Update the README to mention manual translations are available.
- Preserve timestamps when copying files into the CDs
- Make sure build.sh can run in -e (stop on error) mode
- Report if packages needed by debootstrap is missing on a CD
- Report how much space is reserved on each CD
- Handle boot-floppy directories without documentation
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>
