84 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
85 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
86 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons

171 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)
172 * Changes in GRML_MEDIUM:

176 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
178 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
179 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
180 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
181 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
182 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
183 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
184 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
185 This should avoid issues with something like
186 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
187 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
188 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
189 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
191 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
192 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
193 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
194 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
195 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
196 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
197 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
198 so we can grep for it in any case.
199 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.

202 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
203 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
204 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
205 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
206 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
207 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
208 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
209 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
210 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
211 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
212 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
213 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
215 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
216 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to

218 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.

272 - powertop (Linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop)
273 * Remove localepurge from GRML_SMALL.
274 * Remove mozilla-imagezoom from GRML_FULL (the "extension installed"
275 * Execute dpkg-reconfigure for localepurge with noninteractive frontend.
277 * Rework locale handling. From now on /usr/share/locale gets removed
278 by default (though /usr/share/i18n/locales won't be touched for
279 now), unless using class LOCALES. Reason: We have >70MB inside
280 /usr/share/locale on GRML_FULL, just too much to ship by default,
281 message at startup sucks).

283 * Provide grml's gpg key via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/grml.key
284 so we support offline operation as well. Based on an idea by
285 Thomas Lehmann, thanks!
286 * Generate ISO with volume label "${GRML_NAME} ${VERSION}" instead of

461 * Update bootsplashes to current implementation, based on
462 live-initramfs and grml-autoconfig.
463 * Get rid of gnu-fdisk in GRML_FULL (it's causing just too many
464 headaches, see #461888, #463720 and #445304 for example).

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

936 * Add new scripts to /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/:
937 - grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_etch.sh
938 - grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_sid.sh
939 - grml-live_autobuild_grml64-small_etch.sh
940 - grml-live_autobuild_grml64-small_sid.sh
941 * Some more FAI error checking.
942 * Updated buildd scripts (better subject handling).
943 * Re-enable 'Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth' workaround'.
944 Restore usual Debian behaviour at the end using
945 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/99-finish-grml-build
946 * Add new scripts for retreiving bugs via apt-listbugs
947 and storing package selection inside log directory.
948 This has been integrated in a new class named "RELEASE".
949 * Added support for new kernel version 2.6.23-grml to
951 * Use uxterm as x-terminal-emulator and fall back to xterm
952 only it uxterm is not available.
953 * Support /etc/locale.gen.grml - it's used by default in
954 class GRML_FULL and a new class named LOCALES.
955 * Work around #443481 (bug inside snort) for Debian etch
956 via using /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters (thanks for
957 the idea, Thomas Lange!)
958 * Do not exit with an error code if /usr/include/linux is NOT
959 a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux but keep it as
961 * Log executed grml-live command.
962 * Re-enable problematic packages that have been fixed:
963 - apt-listbugs (fixed via manual interaction in scripts)
964 - gsm-utils (#353967)
966 - wvdial (fixed via debconf)
967 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
972 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 23:06:28 +0200
974 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
976 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
977 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
978 templates for building the ISO can be found.
979 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
980 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
981 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
982 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
983 - disable pipeline workaround
984 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
985 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
986 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
987 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
988 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
989 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
990 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
991 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
992 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
993 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
994 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
995 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
996 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
997 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
998 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.
999 * Use iceweasel/firefox as x-www-browser and w3m as www-browser (if
1001 * Check for presence of the initrd.
1002 * Improve adjustment of suite for $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP.
1003 * Add /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/

1007 grml-live (0.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
1009 * Support for setting GRML_NAME (like grml vs. grml-small
1011 * Drop the character limits of $VERSION and $RELEASENAME.
1012 * Make sure $SECONDS is set before outputting the runtime.
1013 * Unify usage of i386_files, place all template files in
1014 directory templates now.
1015 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1016 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1017 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1019 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1020 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1021 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1022 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1023 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
