Call cpp directly on our input task file instead of using it in a
pipeline. Not clear why this was ever done, and it obscures errors
like ENOENT (if the specified task file is missing).
When we've got multiple copies of the same initramfs hard-linked
together, gzip gets unhappy when we start modifying things
later. Explicitly break the links to fix that.
Provide hashes for uncompressed Translation-* files, and remove the
uncompressed versions from the output disc. Closes: #767253. Initial
patch from Michael Vogt - thanks!
d-i has removed these files now, so don't look for them for kernel
params. Closes: #767223, #766411. Thanks to Prema and Vagrant for
(identical!) patches. :-)
tasksel now allows selecting the desktop, and d-i has dropped the boot
menu desktop selection, so we no longer need to have desktop boot
menus on CDs.
CD images for specific desktops (xfce/kde/mate/etc) should still
override the default tasksel desktop.
Use "apt-cache show" instead of "dumpavail" in the Makefile.
Using "dumpavail" dumps all packages, while we're only interested in one
specific package. This wasts a log of cycles and time when many packages
need fixing.
Use "show $pkg" to directly dump only the requested package.
Use "--no-all-versions" to show only the candidate for installation.
Closes: #759343. Thanks to Philipp Hahn for the patch.
The code was assuming that the first line of output was something like
this (and this is the case of the cd builder machine that uses a custom
built xorriso):
> GNU xorriso 1.2.6 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.
But the output of the version packaged in Debian does not have the GNU
string:
> xorriso 1.3.2 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.
We fix this issue by extracting the version from the line starting with
"xorriso version" which does not have this discrepancy.
debian-installer now has extra steps to create a grub_embed file which
can be passed to xorriso's --embedded-boot option. Add corresponding
code in debian-cd to use it to make images USB bootable.
Patch from Samuel Thibault.
