69 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
70 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
71 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons

143 - add shebang line to buildd/[execute|functions].sh to make lintian happy
144 * Replace placeholder %GRML_NAME_SQUASHFS% with according value in

151 grml-live (0.9.9) unstable; urgency=low
153 * Update to kernel 2.6.28-grml[64].
154 * Changes in GRML_FULL:
155 - drop package tspc (see #462738 and #515193)
156 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)
157 * Changes in GRML_MEDIUM:

159 - add dstat (on request by gebi)
160 - add mc (on request by Christian Kuehlborn)
161 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
163 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
164 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
165 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
166 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
167 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
168 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
169 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
170 This should avoid issues with something like
171 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
172 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
173 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
174 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
176 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
177 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
178 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
179 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
180 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
181 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
182 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
183 so we can grep for it in any case.
184 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.
185 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the idea! [Closes: issue570]

187 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
188 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
189 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
190 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
191 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
192 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
193 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
194 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
195 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
196 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
197 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
198 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
200 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
201 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
202 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
203 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
204 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
205 update docs regarding the file.
206 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages
208 * Support NO_ADDONS via configuration file.

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

466 * Finally fixed the "isolinux does not boot on old hardware" problem.
467 The problem was a too big boot/isolinux directory. Thanks a lot
468 for all the testing to Andrea Mayr and Wernfried Haas!
469 - use /boot/addons/* for allinone.img, balder10.imz, chain.c32,
471 - place $GRML_NAME in /boot/$GRML_NAME/ - this should easify
472 support of several grml flavours on one single usb pen for the future
473 - adjust grub's menu.lst and isolinux.cfg as well as grml-live itself
474 for new directory layout
475 * Make sure $GRML_NAME does not contain known problematic characters.

934 * Added support for new kernel version 2.6.23-grml to
936 * Use uxterm as x-terminal-emulator and fall back to xterm
937 only it uxterm is not available.
938 * Support /etc/locale.gen.grml - it's used by default in
939 class GRML_FULL and a new class named LOCALES.
940 * Work around #443481 (bug inside snort) for Debian etch
941 via using /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters (thanks for
942 the idea, Thomas Lange!)
943 * Do not exit with an error code if /usr/include/linux is NOT
944 a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux but keep it as
946 * Log executed grml-live command.
947 * Re-enable problematic packages that have been fixed:
948 - apt-listbugs (fixed via manual interaction in scripts)
949 - gsm-utils (#353967)
951 - wvdial (fixed via debconf)
952 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
957 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 23:06:28 +0200
959 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
961 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
962 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
963 templates for building the ISO can be found.
964 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
965 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
966 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
967 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
968 - disable pipeline workaround
969 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
970 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
971 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
972 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
973 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
974 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
975 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
976 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
977 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
978 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
979 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
980 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
981 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
982 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
983 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.
984 * Use iceweasel/firefox as x-www-browser and w3m as www-browser (if
986 * Check for presence of the initrd.
987 * Improve adjustment of suite for $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP.
988 * Add /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/

992 grml-live (0.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
994 * Support for setting GRML_NAME (like grml vs. grml-small
996 * Drop the character limits of $VERSION and $RELEASENAME.
997 * Make sure $SECONDS is set before outputting the runtime.
998 * Unify usage of i386_files, place all template files in
999 directory templates now.
1000 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1001 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1002 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1004 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1005 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1006 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1007 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1008 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
