1 grml-debootstrap (0.29) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 The "thanks to gebi for the bugreports and feedback" release. :)
4 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
6 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
7 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.
8 * Mention "default: lenny" instead of "default: stable" in help
9 text as "stable" is invalid.
10 * Use 'pri=0' as example for swap partition in /etc/fstab.
11 * Do not adjust mydestination and myhostname in /etc/postfix/main.cf as
12 mydestination defaults to "$myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost",
13 myhostname defaults to gethostname() and mydomain to localdomain.

27 - support setting Debian suite components (like main, contrib,...)
28 through COMPONENTS so it's possible to use a simple 'main' mirror.
29 - support setting aptitude/apt-get options through $DPKG_OPTIONS.
30 - support selection of netinstall vs. local mirror in interactive menu
32 - make sure to ignore /dev/md* devices if not using SW-RAID
33 - do not fail in chrootmirror() when using $ISO variable.
34 - change order of checkconfiguration() so we get the prompt/
35 display for checking configuration again.
36 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
37 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
39 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
40 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
41 - chroot-script: put installation of kernel before installing additional
42 packages so installation of kernel doesn't fail if the kernel directory
45 - bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).

51 * Do not use UUID on SW-RAID.
52 * Add /dev/md* to partition list. If /dev/md* is already
53 configured we don't want to re-run the SW-RAID setup
54 but instead just install on /dev/md*.

84 The "hey, rocking - we get patches via git" release.
86 * Improve look'n'feel of partition error dialog.

110 - listen on loopback interface by default (thanks for suggestion, gebi)
111 * Unify the --bootappend option, it's not --boot_append (thanks for
113 * Support execution of further scripts via options --scripts and

151 The "development sponsored by Sipwise GmbH" release.

174 packages like citadel in lenny.
175 * Allow use of comments in file /etc/debootstrap/packages.
