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.
* 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
* Update the order of the boot images for i386 :
1: isolinux multiboot
2: vanilla
3: compact
4: idepci
5: bf2.4
* Put ISOLINUX=1 by default. Added it to CONF.sh.
* Drop dpkg-multicd support.
* Uses apt-ftparchive instead of dpkg-scan{packages,sources}
* Try to use extra override file (for Task: fields), not tested.
Minor changes to tools to help this:
add_dirs: only create directories if they don't exist.
scanpackages: added a command line flag to not create Packages.cd files
* Patch from Michael Schlueter for a bugfix related to forcenonusoncd1.
* Patch from myself : s/*.packages/?.packages/ in tools/scanpackages !
It's a problem that appeared with the use of FORCENONUSONCD1 and LOCAL.
first CD where possible. We then make 2 copies of this, one with
non-US and one without. Useful for people wanting to create non-US and
US-safe CD sets without having to spend so much disk space.
Side-effects: The CD tress are now $(DIR)/CD<foo> instead of
$(DIR)/<foo>
