Modify the syslinux configuration for amd64/i386 multi-arch images
and use ifcpu64.c32 to autodetect 32/64-bit systems when a user hits
enter from the isolinux help screens.
Based on research done and info provided by Franklin Piat.
Currently the isolinux configuration only gets created correctly if the
two arches are specified in the order "amd64 i386". Change the lenny x86
boot script so it works the other way around too.
All tasks files are moved to ./tasks/<codename> subdirectories so they
can be more easily kept up-to-date with specific distro releases.
Always generate the debian-installer and tasksel tasks dynamically:
- all task files for the desired suite are copied to the working
directory at the beginning of each build, and are used from there;
- the debian-installer and tasksel tasks are no longer included in
releases but are always created automatically at build time; this
means users no longer need to run the generate_di_* scripts or the
update_tasksel script;
- the popcon task file will remain included as a static file, but plan
is to add an option to update it automatically for each build; reason
is that updating it requires network access.
Bump version to 3.1.
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.
Some udebs that no longer exist are removed and new (in some cases not
really new, but well) udebs that are known to be included in the initrd
are added. For i386 and amd64 the list of kernel udebs already included
in the initrd is updated.
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.
After the earlier change in generate_di+k_list in this release, this
script should also use the debian-installer+kernel task for the
requested codename, and not the used D-I release. This brings the
building of netinst CDs back in line with full CDs.
