- Structure of D-I images was simplified, so adapt to that
- Fix some broken references to etch in lenny boot-sparc script
- Hope after all this things will still work...
sure we don't end up overwriting extra images from one arch with those
from the other. Now the multi-arch netinst should work for the installgui
target for both arches
over the disc size
* Use a multiplier of 1.2 for HFS space - overkill, but it fixes
the multi-arch DVD overflowing. Also log if we're doing HFS.
* Tweak where we look for s390 boot files to make the weeklies work again.
file header comments to there. Fix some bugs in passing.
* List packages for the various specific desktop tasks ahead of the non-key
packages for the general desktop task. Along with changes in tasksel 2.60
this should lead to a generally more useful set of packages on the desktop
CDs; instead of filling up with OOo, it will fill up with things specific
to the desktop environment.
* Updated task lists.
of in list2cds. Slight changes in semantics - the new code supports
regular expressions for matching package names (to make it easier to
exclude groups of related packages), and EXCLUDE<m> should be used in
preference to EXCLUDE for packages that are just being shifted to
later in the set by using UNEXCLUDE<n>.
arch along with source, there's a chance that the different arches may
have refs to a particular binary package (and hence its source) at
completely different points. Rather than just go with the one we find
first (from the first binary ref), make sure that the source will
match up with the earliest binary record, measured across all arches.
As noticed on the multi-arch DVD; make sure that source:kde-i18n makes
it into the package list before amd64:kde-i18n-ar.
* 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
can call add_packages directly as a perl function rather than via
fork/exec all the time. Re-arranged tools/add_packages to make
this work.
* Improved logging in add_packages.
#402354. Fixes the long-standing warnings from list2cds about "Use
of uninitialized value in string comparison", and allows some poor
packages to make it onto CDs for the first time...
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.
