* Added support for hook scripts in a few places around the CD
creation process, to help people customise their CDs. Quite a
lot of refactoring needed in make_disc_trees.pl needed to do that.
* Removed more cruft:
+ old defs in CONF.sh
+ old defs and rules in the Makefile
+ tools/add_secured
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
md5sums in the installer suite as well as the archive suite in
case they're different. Also removed old woody support, to clean
up the code a little. Updated Makefile and update-cd to match the
command-line interface change.
* 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.
creates Packages files from the Makefile into tools/add_debs
* Split out the code that copies sources into the temporary trees and
creates Sources files from the Makefile into tools/add_source_packages
full CDs.
* Make the full CD have apt-mirror-setup in its udeb_exclude file, to avoid
that component being installed to satisfy apt-setup's dependency on it (I
hope), so that the user is not unncessarily asked for a mirror during a
full CD install, but is still asked for one during installs from the
smaller CDs.
and a temporary directory to work in, so it will avoid downloading the
Packages files from its hardcoded mirror, and work on amd64 and other
situations with a non-official Debian mirror. Neccessary since the new
version of debootstrap has dependency resolution enabled by default.
Only enable the rescue isolinux targets for etch.
I hope at least some of the etch stuff (like tools/boot/etch) can be used
for the daily CD builds that build using d-i daily builds.
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.
- Remove old kernel sources from interesting-fromcd23, and various other
removals and updates.
- Update the task lists and popcon again.
- Stop excluding 686 and 686-smp kernels, as these are probably the most
popular, and they fit on CD#1 now.
- Add 2.6 support to powerpc cds.
- Add yaboot to powerpc netinst cds as debootstrap no longer adds it.
- Update boot-sparc not to depend on a kernel version.
- Update debian-installer tasks once again.
The workaround consists in some hints added to rawlist so that the
dependencies are satisfied in a more clever way than list2cds does.
This should be fixed in a proper way on list2cds when time permits.
instructions, various references to woody, fixing the link to the LDP
home page, dropping reference to the basically dead non-us section,
removing confusing references to non-free being on the CD, dropping
references to dselect, etc.
- Fix layout of README.txt, adding missing <p>'s after headings.
- Drop README.mirrors and README.non-US from the CDs.
on the cdrom initrds.
- Switch from netcfg-static/dhcp to just netcfg.
- Split udeb_includes for businesscard and netinst; netinst does not
need choose-mirror, while businesscard does.
- 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
generates the md5sum of the template and adds it to the [Image] section.
A side efect is that the generation date apearing on the Info changes from
being the end date to being the start date. If this matters tell me and
I'll change it.
(including the one that comes with dpkg >= 1.10).
* Protect the call to add_secured by a stamp file. Closes: #147105
* Provide a customised isolinux image. We don't need to
recommend syslinux now.
cdimage.d.o
It's disabled by default, so this should not change the behaviour
for people that don't use it, although I don't think there's any reason
not to.
CONF.sh as DEFBINSIZE and DEFSRCSIZE
build.sh and build_all.sh now use these settings to calculate the
packages and source files to go on each disk, using bc - shell
arithmetic cannot cope with > 32-bit numbers

are referred to in the Packages files. Closes: #76178
* Does now handle sources for a local repository correctly. Closes: #76179
* Fix a bug in make extras. Closes: #76181
* Added a commodity local symlink for old-fashioned tools like multi_cd
which want local packages in dists/local/local. Closes: #76186
* Many thanks to Vladimir Michl who provided me patches for the 4 bug
mentionned above.
* Changed mirror_check to use case insensitive pattern matching for
detecting headers. Closes: #70838
* Documentation updates about the SIZELIMIT stuff and bootable CDs.
Closes: #72067, #68913
VERBOSE_MAKE variable added. allows the verbosity of the make process
to be controlled, by determining if the lines start with a @ or not
ATTEMPT_FALLBACK variable added. allows one to control whether build_all.sh
should bother to attempt to build a simple CD if the official build
fails.
Makefile:
o added "set -e;" to the start of most of the blocks of shell commands to
ensure that if one of the scripts fails, that fact is not ignored
o replaced many of the @'s with $(Q) and ensured that Q=@ by default.
This allows one to see what make is actually doing when it all goes
horribly wrong -- VERBOSE_MAKE in CONF.sh is used to control this
build_all.sh
o made it stop on error dependant on ATTEMPT_FALLBACK from CONF.sh
tools/pi-makelist:
These are the changes by J.A. Bezemer to get rid of files from the list
that are not available on ftp mirrors
tools/boot/potato/boot-alpha
check to see if the boot1 directory already exists, and skip its creation
if so. This is required to deal with the fact that this script gets called
for CD1 & CD1_NONUS, and making the directories twice fails, and is pointless
ppc instead of powerpc to stay within the 32-char limit (also with _NONUS).
Fixed one other "double CD1 issue" that caused the top-level README to
mention a 4-CD set where there were only 3. Now count only ?.packages
instead of *.packages.
* Patch from Michael Schlueter for a bugfix related to forcenonusoncd1.
* Patch from myself : s/*.packages/?.packages/ in tools/scanpackages !
It's a problem that appeared with the use of FORCENONUSONCD1 and LOCAL.
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>
old doc. Needs a lynx dependency.
* Added arm support.
* Failry large changes to the Makefile due to the added documentation.
* Make the translated documentation more available.
* Copied some files from potato dir to the woody dir (so that we can
still build woody CDs).
* 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.
* Removed set -e from tools/apt-selection. Apt must be able to fail ...
* Added a separate pi-makelist target.
* Updated the README with Pseudo Image Kit information.
