Falls back to old location so update_tasks can still be used with old
tasksel.
This does not deal with most of the task information being removed from
debian-tasks.desc. The file still has Key fields, that now list the task-*
packages, and the packages Depend on the crucial packages for the task.
So to that extent it should continue to work.
However, with NORECOMMENDS set, the Recommended other packages for tasks
won't be included on CD. This still needs to be dealt with, probably by
adding all packages listed in Recommends of task-* packages to the
generated task list files.
+ 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!
Include all four desktop environments supported by tasksel (GNOME, KDE,
LXDE and Xfce).
On x86 also add an option in the isolinux menu (under Advanced options)
to select which DE to install; GNOME remains default.
Supports installation of either an xfce or an lxde desktop environment.
For now use B as identifier for INSTALLER_CD in contrib/testingcds.
Includes a framework to manipulate the isolinux configuration for x86 so
that a user can select which desktop he wishes to install.
For now use A as identifier for INSTALLER_CD in contrib/testingcds;
we should probably switch to a double digit scheme post lenny or
even generally rationalize the use of INSTALLER_CD.
* 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.
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.
* tasks/tasks.list
- add missing l10n tasks: gujarati-desktop, malayalam-desktop, tamil
- comment out l10n tasks for languages not supported in D-I, for
Icelandic, Irish, Serbian, Welsh and Xhosa
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.
