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.
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.
etch or were missing before.
* generate_di+k_list: Use kernel-image-2.4-<subarch> and
linux-image-2.4-<subarch> packages for as many architectures as we can,
instead of enumerating the versions of the kernels to include. Much
cleaner and more robust and will make d-i more robust as well.
- sparc64: switch to 2.6.12 kernel; make CD multiboot 2.6 and 2.4,
using 2.6.12 by default
- sparc32: drop 2.6 kernel support as it has no 2.6.12 kernel
- restructure silo.conf with proper support for install, expert and
rescue boot options
* 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
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.
post-sarge d-i images only, but I guess it won't hurt to have the
stanzas there even for sarge images. We may add rescue mode in r1
or something even..
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.
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
