93 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
94 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
95 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons

178 * Changes in GRML_FULL:
179 - drop package tspc (see #462738 and #515193)
180 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)
181 * Changes in GRML_MEDIUM:

184 - add mc (on request by Christian Kuehlborn)
185 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
187 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
188 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
189 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
190 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
191 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
192 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
193 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
194 This should avoid issues with something like
195 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
196 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
197 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
198 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
200 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
201 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
202 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
203 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
204 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
205 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
206 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
207 so we can grep for it in any case.
208 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.
209 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the idea! [Closes: issue570]
210 * instsoft.GRMLBASE: support installation of multiple gpg keys
211 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
212 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
213 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
214 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
215 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
216 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
217 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
218 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
219 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
220 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
221 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
222 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
224 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
225 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
226 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
227 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
228 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
229 update docs regarding the file.
230 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages
232 * Support NO_ADDONS via configuration file.
233 * Always skip mksquashfs part when using -q option.

280 - latencytop (A tool for developers to visualize system latencies)
281 - powertop (Linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop)
282 * Remove localepurge from GRML_SMALL.
283 * Remove mozilla-imagezoom from GRML_FULL (the "extension installed"
284 * Execute dpkg-reconfigure for localepurge with noninteractive frontend.
286 * Rework locale handling. From now on /usr/share/locale gets removed
287 by default (though /usr/share/i18n/locales won't be touched for
288 now), unless using class LOCALES. Reason: We have >70MB inside
289 /usr/share/locale on GRML_FULL, just too much to ship by default,
290 message at startup sucks).
291 * Update grml-cheatcodes.txt.
292 * Provide grml's gpg key via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/grml.key
293 so we support offline operation as well. Based on an idea by
294 Thomas Lehmann, thanks!
295 * Generate ISO with volume label "${GRML_NAME} ${VERSION}" instead of
296 "grml $VERSION" so we propagate the according grml-name. Thanks to

491 The problem was a too big boot/isolinux directory. Thanks a lot
492 for all the testing to Andrea Mayr and Wernfried Haas!
493 - use /boot/addons/* for allinone.img, balder10.imz, chain.c32,
495 - place $GRML_NAME in /boot/$GRML_NAME/ - this should easify
496 support of several grml flavours on one single usb pen for the future
497 - adjust grub's menu.lst and isolinux.cfg as well as grml-live itself
498 for new directory layout
499 * Make sure $GRML_NAME does not contain known problematic characters.

943 grml-live (0.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
945 * Add new scripts to /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/:
946 - grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_etch.sh
947 - grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_sid.sh
948 - grml-live_autobuild_grml64-small_etch.sh
949 - grml-live_autobuild_grml64-small_sid.sh
950 * Some more FAI error checking.
951 * Updated buildd scripts (better subject handling).
952 * Re-enable 'Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth' workaround'.
953 Restore usual Debian behaviour at the end using
954 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/99-finish-grml-build
955 * Add new scripts for retreiving bugs via apt-listbugs
956 and storing package selection inside log directory.
957 This has been integrated in a new class named "RELEASE".
958 * Added support for new kernel version 2.6.23-grml to
960 * Use uxterm as x-terminal-emulator and fall back to xterm
961 only it uxterm is not available.
962 * Support /etc/locale.gen.grml - it's used by default in
963 class GRML_FULL and a new class named LOCALES.
964 * Work around #443481 (bug inside snort) for Debian etch
965 via using /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters (thanks for
966 the idea, Thomas Lange!)
967 * Do not exit with an error code if /usr/include/linux is NOT
968 a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux but keep it as
970 * Log executed grml-live command.
971 * Re-enable problematic packages that have been fixed:
972 - apt-listbugs (fixed via manual interaction in scripts)
973 - gsm-utils (#353967)
975 - wvdial (fixed via debconf)
976 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:

983 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
985 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
986 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
987 templates for building the ISO can be found.
988 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
989 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
990 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
991 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
992 - disable pipeline workaround
993 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
994 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
995 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
996 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
997 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
998 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
999 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
1000 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
1001 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
1002 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
1003 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
1004 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
1005 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
1006 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
1007 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.
1008 * Use iceweasel/firefox as x-www-browser and w3m as www-browser (if
1010 * Check for presence of the initrd.
1011 * Improve adjustment of suite for $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP.
1012 * Add /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/

1018 * Support for setting GRML_NAME (like grml vs. grml-small
1020 * Drop the character limits of $VERSION and $RELEASENAME.
1021 * Make sure $SECONDS is set before outputting the runtime.
1022 * Unify usage of i386_files, place all template files in
1023 directory templates now.
1024 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1025 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1026 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1028 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1029 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1030 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1031 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1032 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
