35 xtables-addons-common).
36 - Drop harden-remoteaudit + openvas-server from GRML_FULL (they
37 are pretty useless without plugins which need just too much space).
38 * Rework variable replacements in templates. Now the %VAR% strings
39 in the templates match with the ones used inside grml-live ($VAR),
40 currently ARCH, DATE, DISTRI_INFO, DISTRI_NAME, DISTRI_SPLASH,

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

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

141 configuration variable SQUASHFS_BINARY.

144 build using kernel-package.
145 * templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg: add space char at end of lines in entries
146 that are meant for manual editing (so user just has to press <tab>

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

251 - Drop gdk-imlib11 (see #522810).
252 - Drop gqcam (still depends on gtk1.2).

254 nowadays, see #533275).
255 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).
256 - Drop rgpsp (owner set to Debian QA Group and package doesn't seem
257 to be that important for grml).
258 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).
259 - Drop workbone (see #429178).
260 * Add check for valid Debian suite name to avoid breakage of sources.list

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

446 grml-live (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
448 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
449 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
450 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
451 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't
452 want to ship it with default grml:
461 * Add ${misc:Depends} to binary packages' depend.
462 * Bump Standard-Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).

540 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
542 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
543 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
544 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
545 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
546 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
547 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
548 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
549 This should avoid issues with something like
550 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
551 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
552 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
553 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
555 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
556 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
557 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
558 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
559 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
560 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
561 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
562 so we can grep for it in any case.

566 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
567 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
568 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
569 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
570 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
571 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
572 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
573 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
574 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
575 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
576 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
577 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
579 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
580 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
581 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
582 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
583 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
584 update docs regarding the file.
585 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages
