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
* 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.
* Add files to support building KDE CDs/DVDs. These would be images
hardcoded to install the KDE desktop task, and to create them, configure
CONF.sh as follows:
TASK=tasks/Debian_etch-kde
KERNEL_PARAMS='tasksel/first="kde-desktop, standard"'
MAXCDS=1
NOSOURCE=1
* 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.
SECURED environment variable. It is *disabled* by default
(thanks to jgg who doesn't want to correct apt even if he
proposed the current scheme)
* Priority optional (same than in the overrides)
* 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.
old doc. Needs a lynx dependency.
* Added arm support.
* Failry large changes to the Makefile due to the added documentation.
* Make the translated documentation more available.
* Copied some files from potato dir to the woody dir (so that we can
still build woody CDs).
