[ Martin Michlmayr ] * Make sure the Netwinder image doesn't exceed NeTTrom's size limit. Closes: #345319. * Include essential kernel modules on the Netwinder cdrom initrd. * Fix a typo in the Cobalt preseed file. * Rename sb1-swarm-bn to sb1-bcm91250a for consistency. * Add 2.6 images on mips and mipel. * Add support for the Broadcom BCM91480B evaluation board (aka "BigSur"). * Add support for the SGI O2 (IP32) machines (with R5000 CPU). * Put beep-udeb on the NSLU2 initrd so we can notify people when SSH is ready. * Switch to 2.6.16 kernel on arm. * Put the input-modules udeb on the NSLU2 image so the beeper will work. * Remove (incomplete) LART and BAST support. * Remove 2.4 images on arm. . [ Joey Hess ] * Split off PRESEED_SUITE from PRESEED, use this for the suite setting for development builds, and no longer unset PRESEED for release builds. Should fix cobalt issues. * Audited the x86 kernel parameter docs in the boot screens vs the 2.6.15 kernel. Removed documentation for parameters that are not listed in the kernel's kernel-parameters.txt, and to a certian extent read the source to find places where kernel-parameters.txt is wrong, and removed those too. It's probably better to not document things than to document them incorrectly. * Modified kernel parameter docs to use the module.param=value syntax for all parameters that are owned by a loadable kernel module. The old param=value at the boot line won't work, since d-i doesn't pass kernel command line to modules. The new syntax requires rootskel 1.30 to work. (Not sure what module(s) own hd=, didn't change it yet.) * Remove docs for how to disable gdth, which harks back to a non-modular kernel. . [ Christian Perrier ] * Rename Punjabi related files from pa_IN to pa. * Add the list of needed characters for Northern Sami * Add the list of needed characters for Thai . [ Frans Pop ] * Remove no longer used graphical characters from graphic.utf (formerly used in partman). * Move graphic.utf to needed-characters. * Rename all needed-character files to *.utf to simplify Makefile. * Remove 2.6 references from hppa config as 2.6 is now default; keep EXTRANAME=2.6/ for now in order to not break debian-cd. . [ Joey Hess ] * Remove build dep on libdebian-installer4 now that all udeb deps are fixed * Update i386 to 2.6.16. * Copy library .so links from library-providing udebs into the udeblib directory along with the library files, otherwise mklibs doesn't see them. (Crossing fingers that this change, which has been tried once before, doesn't break something..) * Remove build dep on libdebconfclient0 since all relevant udeb deps are fixed. * Remove libdebconfclient0 from pkg-list/exclude too. * Remove build dep on libdiscover1 now that there's a libdiscover1-udeb and proper deps. Remove it from pkg-list/exclude too. * Correct comment for libbogl-dev build dep. * Add mips mipsel arm and armeb to arch list for the module-init-tools build dep since they all use 2.6 kernels now. * Limit modutils build dep to the arches that still use 2.4 [arm i386 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc]. . [ Frans Pop ] * Update sparc to 2.6.16; re-enable 2.6 for sparc32. * kbd-chooser 1.25 will no longer use usb-mac keymaps for 2.6 based installations if AT keymaps are defined; therefore, no longer include usb-mac keymaps in images using a 2.6 kernel. Not touching pkg-lists files for mips(el) sb1-bcm91250a as they currently don't include AT keymaps. . [ Joey Hess ] * Can't find any uses of cdrom-minimal and netboot-minimal, so removing those directories from pkg-lists. . [ Colin Watson ] * Update powerpc to 2.6.16. * Pass -r $(KERNELVERSION) to mkvmlinuz rather than -r $(KERNELMAJOR), so that it can tell the difference between 2.6.16 and earlier releases. * Build chrp initrds for powerpc64. * Restore usb-discover on 2.6 images; according to Martin-Éric Racine it's still needed to load usbhid et al on some systems. Plus, it's tiny. * Add support for OS-specific pkg-lists entries: use lines like "gnumach-udeb [hurd]". . [ Joey Hess ] * Comment out nano-udeb and save-logs in the access floppy list to try to save space. * New usb-serial-modules package added to access floppy, although that floppy will now be well oversize. * Add kfreebsd and some missing hurd stuff to build dependency info. Closes: #363661 * Remove ide stuff from access floppy, fixing its size problem. Don't know why ide stuff was ever on there. * Remove USB floppy and keychain support from boot floppy as it was out of space. . [ Kyle McMartin ] * Update hppa to 2.6.16. . [ Frans Pop ] * Also include libs named *.so.* when calling mklibs. Not including those results in missing symbols when building the graphical installer. Closes: #366441. . [ Joey Hess ] * Patch from Samuel Thibault to support testing CD-ROM images in qemu. Closes: #367068 * Add documentation for brltty= boot parameter (hope I got it right). * Apply Samuel Thibault's patch to add brltty-udeb to the cdrom, netboot, nativehd, and hd-media images. Closes: #355851 * Mark usb-serial-modules added by brltty patch as optional, since they're not yet available on all arches. * Increase size of the hd-media images from 128 mb to 256 mb to make more room for the netinst. * Put modutils udebs back on 2.4/2.2 images since new busybox has dropped all support for that. * Stop building el-torito i386 image, it's too big due to above busybox change. * i386 floppy is full due to above busybox change, moved half the network stuff the the net-drivers floppy, which now must be used for all network installs. * i386 bootfloppy is broken: mount: Couldn't setup loop device No idea why. Disabled i386 root and boot floppies. :-( * Add EXTRAUDEBS variable which can be used to pull in extra udebs for library reduction that are not on boot images. * Include cdebconf-newt-entropy in EXTRAUDEBS so that its symbols are in the boot images; since it is linked into cdebconf which uses the reduced libc. * No more parted build dep; those udeb deps are fixed. . [ Frans Pop ] * Integrate graphical installer. Closes: #228808. . [ Steve Langasek ] * Drop serial-modules from the alpha images, since this package is empty now in 2.6.16 apparently due to drivers being built into the kernel . [ Colin Watson ] * Integrate graphical installer on powerpc. . [ Joey Hess ] * Workaround syslinux weirdness on hd-media images; when asked to boot 2.6/linux, it tries to boot "2.6/l". Rename files out of directories to avoid this; the gtk initrd has the unappetizing name "initrdg.gz". * Fix amd64 gtk miniiso build. * Switch i386 to 2.6.16-2. . [ Sven luther ] * Switch powerpc to 2.6.16-2 and disable non-working powerpc subarches. Closes: #373264. . [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Switch mips to 2.6.16-2. * Switch arm to 2.6.16-2. * Switch mipsel to 2.6.16-2. * Add images for RiscPC (rpc). * Remove 2.4 images on mips. * Add 2.6 images for DECstation. * Remove 2.4 images on mipsel. . [ Frans Pop ] * Switch sparc and amd64 to 2.6.16-2. * graphic.utf: add arrow characters needed for scrollbar display; remove unused/duplicate characters. * Remove needed_characters files for "level 4" languages (are not supported in newt frontend). * Rename needed_characters files for prospective languages so they're not included yet. * Switch hppa to 2.6.16-2. * Switch ia64 to 2.6.16-2. * Include USB-MAC keymaps again for powerpc with 2.6 kernels; they've been re-enabled in kbd-chooser for that architecture. . [ Joey Hess ] * Switch from using DEBCONF_PRIORITY and sometimes debconf/priority to consistently using priority=low to boot to expert mode. Needs preseed 1.17. * Change x86 help screen to document fb=false alias. * Remove libtextwrap1 from build deps and pkg-lists/exclude; cdebconf now uses the library udeb. . [ Christian Perrier ] * Remove all *.prospective files as all these languages are only used in the graphical installer. . [ Joey Hess ] * Remove mountfloppy from netboot/common list, add it to only arches that support floppies. * Don't include brltty on the netboot image for nslu2 machines, which uses network-console. Actually, I removed it from images for arches except for alpha, amd64, i386, ia64, and powerpc, since the other netboot images seem to lack serial-modules. * Remove local copy of slugimage and use the debian package. . [ Frans Pop ] * Disable powerpc/apus as the 2.4 kernels it currently uses were removed from the archive. . [ Colin Watson ] * Only try upx compression if UPX is defined; avoids build noise on amd64.
