56 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
57 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
58 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
59 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't

69 * Add ${misc:Depends} to binary packages' depend.

124 - Add workaround to get around the mkisofs volume label limit.
125 Otherwise with something like 'grml64-medium-daily-squeeze 20090223'
127 "mkisofs: Volume ID string too long (cur. XX max. 32 chars)."
128 - add buildd/execute.sh to further simplify buildd/*.sh setup
129 - send_mail(): do not append /var/log/grml-buildd.stdout by default
130 - add shebang line to buildd/[execute|functions].sh to make lintian happy
131 * Replace placeholder %GRML_NAME_SQUASHFS% with according value in
132 bootsplash f5. [Closes: issue619]

138 grml-live (0.9.9) unstable; urgency=low
140 * Update to kernel 2.6.28-grml[64].
141 * Changes in GRML_FULL:
142 - drop package tspc (see #462738 and #515193)
143 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)
144 * Changes in GRML_MEDIUM:
145 - add beep (on request by gebi)
146 - add dstat (on request by gebi)
147 - add mc (on request by Christian Kuehlborn)
148 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
150 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
151 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
152 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
153 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
154 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
155 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
156 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
157 This should avoid issues with something like
158 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
159 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
160 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
161 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
163 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
164 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
165 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
166 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
167 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
168 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
169 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
170 so we can grep for it in any case.
171 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.
172 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the idea! [Closes: issue570]
173 * instsoft.GRMLBASE: support installation of multiple gpg keys
174 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
175 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
176 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
177 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
178 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
179 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
180 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
181 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
182 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
183 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
184 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
185 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
187 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
188 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
189 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
190 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
191 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
192 update docs regarding the file.
193 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages
195 * Support NO_ADDONS via configuration file.
196 * Always skip mksquashfs part when using -q option.

246 * Remove mozilla-imagezoom from GRML_FULL (the "extension installed"
247 * Execute dpkg-reconfigure for localepurge with noninteractive frontend.
249 * Rework locale handling. From now on /usr/share/locale gets removed
250 by default (though /usr/share/i18n/locales won't be touched for
251 now), unless using class LOCALES. Reason: We have >70MB inside
252 /usr/share/locale on GRML_FULL, just too much to ship by default,
253 message at startup sucks).
254 * Update grml-cheatcodes.txt.
255 * Provide grml's gpg key via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/grml.key
256 so we support offline operation as well. Based on an idea by
257 Thomas Lehmann, thanks!
258 * Generate ISO with volume label "${GRML_NAME} ${VERSION}" instead of
259 "grml $VERSION" so we propagate the according grml-name. Thanks to

452 - rt73-module-2.6.23-grml
453 * Finally fixed the "isolinux does not boot on old hardware" problem.
454 The problem was a too big boot/isolinux directory. Thanks a lot
455 for all the testing to Andrea Mayr and Wernfried Haas!
456 - use /boot/addons/* for allinone.img, balder10.imz, chain.c32,
458 - place $GRML_NAME in /boot/$GRML_NAME/ - this should easify
459 support of several grml flavours on one single usb pen for the future
460 - adjust grub's menu.lst and isolinux.cfg as well as grml-live itself
461 for new directory layout
462 * Make sure $GRML_NAME does not contain known problematic characters.

954 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
955 - disable pipeline workaround
956 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
957 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
958 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
959 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
960 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
961 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
