Steve pointed out that this lookup is only here so that helper scripts
can grab those sources and make them available in a public location
such as http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/cd-sources/. The sources are
not embedded in the generated ISO and are thus not strictly needed
for building the ISO image.
This should happen even when we're not building source ISOs but it's
not needed if we don't have any similar policy in place. Thus CONF.sh
is now leaving $ARCHIVE_EXTRACTED_SOURCES unset by default and the
source will only be looked up if that value is set.
+ tools/sort_deps: parse out Built-Using from Packages files too and
pass any such data on to tools/merge_package_lists
+ tools/merge_package_lists: if we have any built-using source
packages listed when doing a combined binary/source set, add them in
the same way as existing listed sources.
* Other bug fixes in tools/merge_package_lists:
+ Fix handling of multi-line Binary: fields
+ Print out the accumulated size of source packages in output also
(fix to printf format string)
versions of a source package:
+ make_disc_trees.pl now tracks arrays of packages when parsing
apt-cache output
+ We'll now pull in all the extra packages included in Sources.gz
because of Built-Using.
had a limited set of hard-coded menu entries - this was buggy and
didn't take into account all the possible boot variations. Now parse
the isolinux menus already provided in the d-i build and generate
equivalent grub menus, complete with themes for a reasonable layout
with graphics and titles.
+ Check all the architectures available in the archive if we're not
specifically told which to use (e.g. on source builds)
+ If we fail to find packages/sources for the specified package, say
so and bail out properly.
+ Use/parse output from a newer version of apt so that "apt-cache
depends" will include version information on dependencies.
+ All tracking of packages now include versions, so we pass around
hashes of {package name, comparison op, version} everywhere instead
of simply passing package names as strings.
+ Add the APT::Cache::ShowVersion=1 option to apt-cache calls to
turn on version reporting. Needs a locally-patched version of apt
*for now*, but expecting that to be fixed for the Wheezy
release. The new code degrades gracefully if version info is not
available.
+ Add a dependency on libdpkg-perl for version comparison code.
+ Pull in grub-efi for amd64 and i386
+ Lots of extra code in boot-x86:
- pull grub EFI pieces out of the latest debian-cd_info.tar.gz
blobs in d-i, if they're there. If so, use them to make x86 images
bootable via EFI (both via CD and USB)
- generate boot entries for grub on the fly; temporary code for now,
will switch to parsing the isolinux entries shortly instead.
- depending more and more on xorriso rather than genisoimage...
+ Track whether a dependency chain is caused by a hard dependency
(Depends) or soft (Recommends/Suggests). If we fail to add a package
down the chain on a *soft* dependency, don't invalidate the entire
chain.
+ When checking OR dependencies, *first* check to see if any of the
options are already installed *before* trying to install the first
option. Helps a lot with circular deps such as task-lxde-desktop ->
task-desktop -> (task-gnome-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | etc.); in
this case, of course task-lxde-desktop should satisfy the OR dep.
menu (pulled in by desktop tasks),
aptitude (pulled in by debootstap, and may be demoted to optional),
alsa-utils, alsa-base (pulled in by task-desktop),
mdetect, read-edid (no longer used by xorg),
grub (handed by generate_di+k_list),
deborphan, debfoster, localepurge (expert user stuff),
chdrvfont (no such package any more)
* Updated generate_di+k_list to match more closely the current
packages d-i apt-installs.
