+ Add "FORCE_FIRMWARE=1" to CONF.sh to turn this on
+ Will pick up on packages in the "firmware" task and install them
+ Will also add sym-links to them in CD1/firmware so that new d-i code
can find them easily.
+ Will add a short sentence into README.html/README.txt
* Add top-level control of which checksums are desired for output images
see the CHECKSUMS setting in CONF.sh
* Fix some bashisms in tools/apt-selection.
This patch from Ian Cambell adds the generic support code:
* CONF.sh: Add $(VARIANTS) configuration variable.
* eash-build.sh: Add command line parameter to enable variants.
* Makefile: Define VARIANT_xxx when preprocessing package list.
* boot/?/common.sh: Add a function for checking if a variant is enabled.
* generate_di_list: Allow variant overrides in udeb exclusion list.
Variant support is documented in docs/README.variants
The intention is to use this support to add support for installing a
Xen guest from an ISO image.
The approach to use varriants was originally suggested by Frans Pop.
+ Add better support for extra components, improve non-i386 mirror
support (Closes: 514237)
+ tools/update_tasks no longer assumes i386 for all builds (Closes: #513497)
+ tools/which_deb no longer assumes i386 for all builds (Closes: #513498)
* For source-only builds, don't do any task updates as they're not
useful anyway.
* Last high-urgency upload, ready for Lenny!
* Instead of duplicating what language tasks should be included in each
task.list.* file, let update_tasks add them dynamically at runtime from a
single list of languages supported by tasksel and D-I. This also makes
maintaining the lists a lot less painful.
* Indicate which tasks are "secondary" by adding a "-" suffix in task.list.*
files instead of hardcoding it in update_tasks.
so that we can archive them (both binaries and sources). If we need
anything, we will list it in CD$N.pkgs_extracted so that external
scripts can pick it up and do whatever's needed.
* Minor changes to the interface of tools/which_deb to accommodate that:
now just lists the files *within* the mirror; it's up to callers to
prepend ${MIRROR} as needed.
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.
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...").
+ 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.
through it one package at a time. It's much faster. Closes: #470838
Needs a small re-arrangement: code from tools/add_packages and
tools/link.pl now moves into tools/make_disc_trees.pl
/usr/share. Add a sym-link to cope - let's keep compatible with etch
as much as possible. Also, log what debootstrap told us (in
debootstrap-list) rather than just including the results directly in
rawlist.
file header comments to there. Fix some bugs in passing.
* List packages for the various specific desktop tasks ahead of the non-key
packages for the general desktop task. Along with changes in tasksel 2.60
this should lead to a generally more useful set of packages on the desktop
CDs; instead of filling up with OOo, it will fill up with things specific
to the desktop environment.
* Updated task lists.
* Added support for hook scripts in a few places around the CD
creation process, to help people customise their CDs. Quite a
lot of refactoring needed in make_disc_trees.pl needed to do that.
* Removed more cruft:
+ old defs in CONF.sh
+ old defs and rules in the Makefile
+ tools/add_secured
