614 * Do not use /etc/grml_version but instead use /etc/debian_version

631 build using kernel-package.
632 * templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg: add space char at end of lines in entries
633 that are meant for manual editing (so user just has to press <tab>

644 grml-live (0.9.21) unstable; urgency=low
649 - Split the single /etc/apt/sources.list file into structured files
650 in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. We are using:
651 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list for all grml related repositories
652 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list for official Debian repositories
654 - Provide information about grml-live version and Debian/suite
655 through /etc/grml_live_version in the generated ISO. [Closes: issue637]
656 - New graphical boot menu. Can be disabled via ISOLINUX_METHOD=console.
657 - New configuration variables DISTRI_NAME and DISTRI_INFO which should allow
658 easier rebranding of grml-live based distributions.
659 - Support installation of local files (not being part of any Debian package)
660 through $CHROOT_INSTALL.
661 - Display path of FAI logs during execution of grml-live.
662 - Replace all references to ftp.de.debian.org with cdn.debian.org,
663 see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGeoMirror for details.
664 Thanks for the idea, Marc Haber!
666 * Bug fixes and improvements:
667 - When adjusting postfix configuration: make sure to execute newaliases
668 command after adjusting configuration, otherwise the old hostname
669 will be left inside /etc/aliases.db.
670 - grml_cleanup_chroot: get rid of /etc/lvm/cache/.cache and
671 /etc/lvm/backup/main as well.
672 - grml_cleanup_chroot: drop the /usr/include/linux checks.
673 - 90-update-alternatives: use wm-ng as default x-window-manager.
675 - Check for existence of $target/etc/apt/important_note.txt before
677 - buildd: drop GRML_LIVE_ARCH but instead use default architecture
679 - Set UTC=no by default. See http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue708 for
680 details. Credits to Ulrich Zehl for debugging. [Closes: issue708]
681 - Improve check for architecture which should be build: if not specified
682 assume a safe default and check this one.
683 - Unify variable default checks, always assume sane defaults.
684 - Always run $SUITE checks, so grml-live repository is used also
685 if suite isn't manually specified.
686 - Detect existence of stage 'boot' using boot/isolinux so grml-live
687 executed with options '-q -B' and empty boot/isolinux works as well.
688 - Introduce $NO_WINDOWS_BINARIES which replaces $WINDOWS_BINARIES so
689 we can improve sanity checks and easify configuration.
690 - Integrate memtest86+ binary so we don't ship old versions from
691 the build host. [Closes: issue717]
692 - Check whether rebuild of ISO is needed even though the ISO exists already.
695 * Debian packaging related changes:
696 - Bump to Standard-Version 3.8.3 (no further changes).
697 - Improve long description.
698 - Update copyright file (make lintian happy).

708 - Add aesfix, aeskeyfind, bios-memimage, chaosreader, ext3grep, fatback,
709 myrescue, pipebench, safecopy, shed and xmount to GRML_FORENSIC. The
710 packages are either already available or should be available soon.
711 - Add scsitools to GRML_MEDIUM.
712 - Drop bar from GRML_FULL (no release since 2007, consider using
713 for example cpipe instead).
714 - Drop grml-saveconfig as it is replaced with recent versions
716 - Drop hydra from GRML_FULL (the license is not a clean GPL one).
717 - Drop icedax from GRML_FULL (we have schilyutils available).
720 * Update MirOS bsd4grml to 20090812 and sync menu.lst, grub.cfg,
721 isolinux.cfg, syslinux.cfg with each other; provide a fallback
722 way to boot MirOS bsd4grml from both GRUB versions using modules.

724 while here, add the grml release info to the appropriate file.

741 nowadays, see #533275).
742 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).

745 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).

755 - use timestamp with hour, minute and second to match with FAI style
756 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/updatebase.GRMLBASE: install apt configuration
757 also when updating the chroot (this happens if we have a base.tgz available
758 on fresh installations).
759 * Document usage of STOP_ON_ERROR in /etc/grml/fai/fai.conf.
760 * Really add support for genisoimage (thanks for the bugreport, Worf).
761 * Set subdirectories of $OUTPUT independent of cmdline parsing so
762 it is possible to set it via conffile as well.
763 * Validate whether the specified architecture class matches the
764 architecture (option), otherwise installation of kernel will fail.
765 * Add 'How do I deploy grml-live on a plain Debian installation' to FAQ.
766 * Build grml-live documentation with table of content.

933 grml-live (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
935 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
936 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
937 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
938 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't
939 want to ship it with default grml:
948 * Add ${misc:Depends} to binary packages' depend.
949 * Bump Standard-Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).

1021 - drop package tspc (see #462738 and #515193)
1022 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)

1025 - add dstat (on request by gebi)
1026 - add mc (on request by Christian Kuehlborn)
1027 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
1029 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
1030 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
1031 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
1032 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
1033 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
1034 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
1035 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
1036 This should avoid issues with something like
1037 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
1038 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
1039 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
1040 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
1042 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
1043 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
1044 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
1045 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
1046 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
1047 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
1048 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
1049 so we can grep for it in any case.

1051 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the idea! [Closes: issue570]

1053 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
1054 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
1055 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
1056 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
1057 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
1058 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
1059 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
1060 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
1061 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
1062 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
1063 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
1064 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
1066 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
1067 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
1068 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
1069 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.

1071 update docs regarding the file.
1072 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages
1074 * Support NO_ADDONS via configuration file.

1800 * Added support for new kernel version 2.6.23-grml to
1802 * Use uxterm as x-terminal-emulator and fall back to xterm
1803 only it uxterm is not available.
1804 * Support /etc/locale.gen.grml - it's used by default in
1805 class GRML_FULL and a new class named LOCALES.
1806 * Work around #443481 (bug inside snort) for Debian etch
1807 via using /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters (thanks for
1808 the idea, Thomas Lange!)
1809 * Do not exit with an error code if /usr/include/linux is NOT
1810 a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux but keep it as
1812 * Log executed grml-live command.
1813 * Re-enable problematic packages that have been fixed:
1814 - apt-listbugs (fixed via manual interaction in scripts)
1815 - gsm-utils (#353967)
1817 - wvdial (fixed via debconf)
1818 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
1823 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 23:06:28 +0200
1825 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
1827 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
1828 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
1829 templates for building the ISO can be found.
1830 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
1831 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
1832 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
1833 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
1834 - disable pipeline workaround
1835 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
1836 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
1837 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
1838 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
1839 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
1840 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
1841 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
1842 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
1843 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
1844 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
1845 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
1846 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
1847 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
1848 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
1849 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.
1850 * Use iceweasel/firefox as x-www-browser and w3m as www-browser (if
1852 * Check for presence of the initrd.
1853 * Improve adjustment of suite for $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP.
1854 * Add /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/

1858 grml-live (0.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
1860 * Support for setting GRML_NAME (like grml vs. grml-small
1862 * Drop the character limits of $VERSION and $RELEASENAME.
1863 * Make sure $SECONDS is set before outputting the runtime.
1864 * Unify usage of i386_files, place all template files in
1865 directory templates now.
1866 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1867 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1868 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1870 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1871 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1872 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1873 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1874 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
