Replace "alpha" with "a" and "beta" with "b". We've only got 32
characters to use here, so we need to shorten this. This way we can
specify DEBVERSION as a useful long string like "stretch-DI-alpha1" as
a version to appear in file/directory names, but without overflowing
at the VOLID level. May need more tweaks later here, but for now this
seems to do what we need.
FTAOD: this won't change "alpha" in the architecture name, as that is
added later.
Previously, the code would only check sizes for packages explicitly
listed but packages brought in due to dependency resolution would not
be checked. Now fixed.
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.
I removed this and more earlier while cleaning out undocuented cruft. (I
have not added back module-assistant so far, since it needs build-essential
which would pull in additional dependencies.)
When making a custom server netinstall ISO, it may be desired to not
have MS Windows files. Unfortunately there's currently no check for
loadlin.exe, so install.bat gets created regardless. Fix this.
debian-cd currently expects there to always be isolinux/desktop/*
files and a dtmenu.cfg file, failing if they are missing. Make it so
debian-cd can cope whether those files are present or not.
--no-check-gpg option; we're not going to support debootstrap versions
so old that they don't support this flag, *and* the dpkg-query call
doesn't give us the right version anyway - we're using an extracted
copy from the archive, not the one that (might be) installed on our
build machine.
Use ARCHIVE_KEYRING_PACKAGE and ARCHIVE_KEYRING_FILE parameters
and always use the unpacked keyring instead of the system-wide one.
Thanks to Robert Spencer <rspencer@lbsd.net> for the patch.
better safety when extracting boot loader files.
* Update all the relevant boot-* scripts to do the right thing when
extracting packages and sources, depending on
$ARCHIVE_EXTRACTED_SOURCES as above
Steve pointed out that this lookup is only here so that helper scripts
can grab those sources and make them available in a public location
such as http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/cd-sources/. The sources are
not embedded in the generated ISO and are thus not strictly needed
for building the ISO image.
This should happen even when we're not building source ISOs but it's
not needed if we don't have any similar policy in place. Thus CONF.sh
is now leaving $ARCHIVE_EXTRACTED_SOURCES unset by default and the
source will only be looked up if that value is set.
+ tools/sort_deps: parse out Built-Using from Packages files too and
pass any such data on to tools/merge_package_lists
+ tools/merge_package_lists: if we have any built-using source
packages listed when doing a combined binary/source set, add them in
the same way as existing listed sources.
* Other bug fixes in tools/merge_package_lists:
+ Fix handling of multi-line Binary: fields
+ Print out the accumulated size of source packages in output also
(fix to printf format string)
versions of a source package:
+ make_disc_trees.pl now tracks arrays of packages when parsing
apt-cache output
+ We'll now pull in all the extra packages included in Sources.gz
because of Built-Using.
had a limited set of hard-coded menu entries - this was buggy and
didn't take into account all the possible boot variations. Now parse
the isolinux menus already provided in the d-i build and generate
equivalent grub menus, complete with themes for a reasonable layout
with graphics and titles.
+ Check all the architectures available in the archive if we're not
specifically told which to use (e.g. on source builds)
+ If we fail to find packages/sources for the specified package, say
so and bail out properly.
+ Use/parse output from a newer version of apt so that "apt-cache
depends" will include version information on dependencies.
+ All tracking of packages now include versions, so we pass around
hashes of {package name, comparison op, version} everywhere instead
of simply passing package names as strings.
+ Add the APT::Cache::ShowVersion=1 option to apt-cache calls to
turn on version reporting. Needs a locally-patched version of apt
*for now*, but expecting that to be fixed for the Wheezy
release. The new code degrades gracefully if version info is not
available.
+ Add a dependency on libdpkg-perl for version comparison code.
