+ 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.
+ Pull in grub-efi for amd64 and i386
+ Lots of extra code in boot-x86:
- pull grub EFI pieces out of the latest debian-cd_info.tar.gz
blobs in d-i, if they're there. If so, use them to make x86 images
bootable via EFI (both via CD and USB)
- generate boot entries for grub on the fly; temporary code for now,
will switch to parsing the isolinux entries shortly instead.
- depending more and more on xorriso rather than genisoimage...
+ Track whether a dependency chain is caused by a hard dependency
(Depends) or soft (Recommends/Suggests). If we fail to add a package
down the chain on a *soft* dependency, don't invalidate the entire
chain.
+ When checking OR dependencies, *first* check to see if any of the
options are already installed *before* trying to install the first
option. Helps a lot with circular deps such as task-lxde-desktop ->
task-desktop -> (task-gnome-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | etc.); in
this case, of course task-lxde-desktop should satisfy the OR dep.
menu (pulled in by desktop tasks),
aptitude (pulled in by debootstap, and may be demoted to optional),
alsa-utils, alsa-base (pulled in by task-desktop),
mdetect, read-edid (no longer used by xorg),
grub (handed by generate_di+k_list),
deborphan, debfoster, localepurge (expert user stuff),
chdrvfont (no such package any more)
* Updated generate_di+k_list to match more closely the current
packages d-i apt-installs.
