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

85 itself succeded but was interrupted during task_configure it should
86 be fine to re-run grml-live with -u/-b options.

96 * Introduce support for squashfs-lzma-tools 4.0-1 and support
97 configuration variable SQUASHFS_BINARY.
98 * Modify update-initramfs call in grml-live script as the
99 'update-initramfs -u -t' might fail with linux images which have been
100 build using kernel-package.
101 * templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg: add space char at end of lines in entries
102 that are meant for manual editing (so user just has to press <tab>
104 * Add 'pci=nomsi' to failsafe bootoption (thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt).
105 * Fix grml2usb bootoption in templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg.
106 * Display "Finished execution of stage 'WINDOWS_BINARIES'" only if the
107 according code has been executed (and do not display if skipping).
108 * Completely remove /lib/modules/${KERNEL}/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax on
109 grml-small as there will be unresolved symbols without hisax.ko.

113 grml-live (0.9.21) unstable; urgency=low
118 - Split the single /etc/apt/sources.list file into structured files
119 in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. We are using:
120 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list for all grml related repositories
121 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list for official Debian repositories
123 - Provide information about grml-live version and Debian/suite
124 through /etc/grml_live_version in the generated ISO. [Closes: issue637]
125 - New graphical boot menu. Can be disabled via ISOLINUX_METHOD=console.
126 - New configuration variables DISTRI_NAME and DISTRI_INFO which should allow
127 easier rebranding of grml-live based distributions.
128 - Support installation of local files (not being part of any Debian package)
129 through $CHROOT_INSTALL.
130 - Display path of FAI logs during execution of grml-live.
131 - Replace all references to ftp.de.debian.org with cdn.debian.org,
132 see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGeoMirror for details.
133 Thanks for the idea, Marc Haber!
135 * Bug fixes and improvements:
136 - When adjusting postfix configuration: make sure to execute newaliases
137 command after adjusting configuration, otherwise the old hostname
138 will be left inside /etc/aliases.db.
139 - grml_cleanup_chroot: get rid of /etc/lvm/cache/.cache and
140 /etc/lvm/backup/main as well.
141 - grml_cleanup_chroot: drop the /usr/include/linux checks.
142 - 90-update-alternatives: use wm-ng as default x-window-manager.
144 - Check for existence of $target/etc/apt/important_note.txt before
146 - buildd: drop GRML_LIVE_ARCH but instead use default architecture
148 - Set UTC=no by default. See http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue708 for
149 details. Credits to Ulrich Zehl for debugging. [Closes: issue708]
150 - Improve check for architecture which should be build: if not specified
151 assume a safe default and check this one.
152 - Unify variable default checks, always assume sane defaults.
153 - Always run $SUITE checks, so grml-live repository is used also
154 if suite isn't manually specified.
155 - Detect existence of stage 'boot' using boot/isolinux so grml-live
156 executed with options '-q -B' and empty boot/isolinux works as well.
157 - Introduce $NO_WINDOWS_BINARIES which replaces $WINDOWS_BINARIES so
158 we can improve sanity checks and easify configuration.
159 - Integrate memtest86+ binary so we don't ship old versions from
160 the build host. [Closes: issue717]
161 - Check whether rebuild of ISO is needed even though the ISO exists already.
164 * Debian packaging related changes:
165 - Bump to Standard-Version 3.8.3 (no further changes).
166 - Improve long description.
167 - Update copyright file (make lintian happy).
168 - Register grml-live html docs using doc-base.
171 - grml-cheatcodes: document bootoption 'nostartx'.
172 - Apply patch from Marc Haber (thanks!) for new grml cheatcodes
173 (new DCS directory feature).
175 * Software related changes:
176 - Add git-email to GRML_FULL (thanks to Joerg Woelke for mentioning).
177 - Add aesfix, aeskeyfind, bios-memimage, chaosreader, ext3grep, fatback,
178 myrescue, pipebench, safecopy, shed and xmount to GRML_FORENSIC. The
179 packages are either already available or should be available soon.
180 - Add scsitools to GRML_MEDIUM.
181 - Drop bar from GRML_FULL (no release since 2007, consider using
182 for example cpipe instead).
183 - Drop grml-saveconfig as it is replaced with recent versions
185 - Drop hydra from GRML_FULL (the license is not a clean GPL one).
186 - Drop icedax from GRML_FULL (we have schilyutils available).
189 * Update MirOS bsd4grml to 20090812 and sync menu.lst, grub.cfg,
190 isolinux.cfg, syslinux.cfg with each other; provide a fallback
191 way to boot MirOS bsd4grml from both GRUB versions using modules.
192 * Fix going back to GNU GRUB from ldbsd.com via alternative boot method;
193 while here, add the grml release info to the appropriate file.

204 virtual package "dviutils" -> non-existing package)
205 - Drop ext2resize (see #400797).
206 - Drop fcoretools (see #534542).
207 - Drop gdk-imlib11 (see #522810).
208 - Drop gqcam (still depends on gtk1.2).
209 - Drop hping2 (hping3 is available in all relevant Debian releases
210 nowadays, see #533275).
211 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).
212 - Drop rgpsp (owner set to Debian QA Group and package doesn't seem
213 to be that important for grml).
214 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).
215 - Drop workbone (see #429178).
216 * Add check for valid Debian suite name to avoid breakage of sources.list
217 if someone calls grml-live with a typo in the -s option.
218 * Add exception for libewf1 and libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 in
219 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/40-deborphan.

222 - add cronjob based on what the grml team is using at daily.grml.org
223 - use '-a' instead of '-rltD' as rsync option to sync logs
224 - use timestamp with hour, minute and second to match with FAI style
225 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/updatebase.GRMLBASE: install apt configuration
226 also when updating the chroot (this happens if we have a base.tgz available
227 on fresh installations).
228 * Document usage of STOP_ON_ERROR in /etc/grml/fai/fai.conf.
229 * Really add support for genisoimage (thanks for the bugreport, Worf).
230 * Set subdirectories of $OUTPUT independent of cmdline parsing so
231 it is possible to set it via conffile as well.
232 * Validate whether the specified architecture class matches the
233 architecture (option), otherwise installation of kernel will fail.
234 * Add 'How do I deploy grml-live on a plain Debian installation' to FAQ.
235 * Build grml-live documentation with table of content.

496 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
498 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
499 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
500 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
501 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
502 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
503 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
504 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
505 This should avoid issues with something like
506 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
507 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
508 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
509 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
511 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
512 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
513 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
514 if possible. [Closes: issue396]

524 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
525 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
526 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
527 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
528 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
529 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
530 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
531 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
532 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
533 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
535 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
536 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
537 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
538 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
539 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
540 update docs regarding the file.
541 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages

594 * Remove mozilla-imagezoom from GRML_FULL (the "extension installed"

597 * Rework locale handling. From now on /usr/share/locale gets removed
598 by default (though /usr/share/i18n/locales won't be touched for
599 now), unless using class LOCALES. Reason: We have >70MB inside
600 /usr/share/locale on GRML_FULL, just too much to ship by default,

1178 activated if you are building against unstable/sid and should
1179 be used manually only if you realy know what you are doing.
