60 * Do not use /etc/grml_version but instead use /etc/debian_version
61 as check whether the chroot exists. If grml-live execution
62 itself succeded but was interrupted during task_configure it should
63 be fine to re-run grml-live with -u/-b options.
64 * Fix usage of exclude option in $SQUASHFS_OPTIONS.
65 * Always remove temporary squashfs stderr file.
66 * Fix usage of /etc/runlevel.conf in 15-initsetup.

68 * Temporarly move /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list in instsoft.GRMLBASE
69 to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.unused and restore in 33-aptsetup

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

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

187 nowadays, see #533275).
188 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).
189 - Drop rgpsp (owner set to Debian QA Group and package doesn't seem
190 to be that important for grml).
191 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).
192 - Drop workbone (see #429178).
193 * Add check for valid Debian suite name to avoid breakage of sources.list

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

475 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
476 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
477 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
478 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
479 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
480 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
481 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.

486 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
488 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
489 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
490 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
491 if possible. [Closes: issue396]

501 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
502 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
503 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
504 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
505 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
506 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
507 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
508 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
509 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
510 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
512 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
513 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
514 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
515 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
516 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
517 update docs regarding the file.
518 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages

571 * Remove mozilla-imagezoom from GRML_FULL (the "extension installed"
572 * Execute dpkg-reconfigure for localepurge with noninteractive frontend.
574 * Rework locale handling. From now on /usr/share/locale gets removed
575 by default (though /usr/share/i18n/locales won't be touched for
576 now), unless using class LOCALES. Reason: We have >70MB inside
577 /usr/share/locale on GRML_FULL, just too much to ship by default,
578 message at startup sucks).

582 Thomas Lehmann, thanks!
583 * Generate ISO with volume label "${GRML_NAME} ${VERSION}" instead of

995 FAI version 3.2.3 therefor.
996 * FAI 3.2.3 has a new log schema, adjusted grml-live accordingly.
997 Quoting the NEWS file of FAI:
998 - LOGDIR is now /var/log/fai/$HOSTNAME/$FAI_ACTION_date+time

1155 activated if you are building against unstable/sid and should
1156 be used manually only if you realy know what you are doing.
1157 Notice: if something fails inside building the base chroot/
1158 debootstrap system we can't do anything via grml-live for you
1159 right now. Instead grab the base.tgz from http://daily.grml.org/
