These files have not been used since the introduction of make_disk_trees.pl.
Remove remaining references, which results in a nice clean up of the Makefile.
brltty has started pulling in libicu, which has a size of 5MB.
An overhead of 5MB is just too big for netinst CD images for a
package that is only needed by a very small group of users and
that will normally also be available from a mirror (brltty gets
installed during finish-install).
For full CDs and DVDs the package will still get included as it's
listed in forcd1.
Looks like the workaround is still needed after all, so just remove
unifont from the packages that are forced.
Also, add pptp-linux to images using the di+k list instead of through
this hack (changelog says adding it here needed "FIXME later...").
They are no longer installed from D-I as jbfterm was only needed for
base-config and unifont's dependencies have become insane.
Saves 15MB on i386 netinst images.
This is made possible by allowing to include a "%ARCH%" placeholder in the
environment variables DI_WWW_HOME and DI_DIR which is expanded to the correct
value at runtime.
Supported for Etch and later.
+ Remove binary blobs from the package; pull those files from the
.debs in the archive as needed (isolinux.bin, vesamenu.c32)
+ sbm.bin *not* yet worked out, so drop it for now
+ Pull out the code to find the right deb and put it in a new helper
shell script (tools/which_deb), called from Makefile and boot-* as
needed.
simple DOJIGDO config option with MAXISOS and MAXJIGDOS, allowing
more flexibility. Allows us to only produce a small number of iso
images for less-popular architectures but still produce all the jigdo
files, saving a lot of disk space.
Make sure packages (loop-aes-utils and loop-aes kernel modules)
are included on the installation CD in case loop-aes encryption
is used during partitioning.
* list2cds: set "Component" for udebs to "debian-installer
* merge_package_lists: skip udebs when including source
When building images for Etch+1/2, which takes regular packages from
stable and udebs from testing, there is a problem when adding source
for udebs as existing code will take source for both debs and udebs
from stable. This can result in either incorrect source being included
(version mismatch) or errors (new udebs for which no match can be found
in the Source.gz file that is used).
A proper solution would require that the debian-installer section gets
its own Sources.gz file, but that is currently just not available.
After trying some things the conclusion was that the best solution for
now is to just not include source for udebs at all.
