101 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
102 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
103 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons

187 - drop package tspc (see #462738 and #515193)
188 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)
189 * Changes in GRML_MEDIUM:

192 - add mc (on request by Christian Kuehlborn)
193 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
195 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
196 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
197 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
198 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
199 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
200 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
201 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
202 This should avoid issues with something like
203 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
204 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
205 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
206 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
208 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
209 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
210 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
211 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
212 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
213 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
214 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
215 so we can grep for it in any case.
216 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.
217 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the idea! [Closes: issue570]

219 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
220 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
221 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
222 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
223 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
224 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
225 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
226 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
227 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
228 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
229 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
230 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
232 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
233 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
234 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
235 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
236 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
237 update docs regarding the file.
238 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages

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

300 * Provide grml's gpg key via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/grml.key

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

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

943 * Work around #353967 for Debian/etch in
944 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/21-usersetup
945 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
946 - ghostscript (and get rid of gs, gs-common, gs-esp)

951 grml-live (0.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
953 * Add new scripts to /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/:
954 - grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_etch.sh
955 - grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_sid.sh
956 - grml-live_autobuild_grml64-small_etch.sh
957 - grml-live_autobuild_grml64-small_sid.sh
958 * Some more FAI error checking.
959 * Updated buildd scripts (better subject handling).
960 * Re-enable 'Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth' workaround'.
961 Restore usual Debian behaviour at the end using
962 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/99-finish-grml-build
963 * Add new scripts for retreiving bugs via apt-listbugs
964 and storing package selection inside log directory.
965 This has been integrated in a new class named "RELEASE".
966 * Added support for new kernel version 2.6.23-grml to
968 * Use uxterm as x-terminal-emulator and fall back to xterm
969 only it uxterm is not available.
970 * Support /etc/locale.gen.grml - it's used by default in
971 class GRML_FULL and a new class named LOCALES.
972 * Work around #443481 (bug inside snort) for Debian etch
973 via using /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters (thanks for
974 the idea, Thomas Lange!)
975 * Do not exit with an error code if /usr/include/linux is NOT
976 a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux but keep it as
978 * Log executed grml-live command.
979 * Re-enable problematic packages that have been fixed:
980 - apt-listbugs (fixed via manual interaction in scripts)
981 - gsm-utils (#353967)
983 - wvdial (fixed via debconf)
984 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:

991 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
993 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
994 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
995 templates for building the ISO can be found.
996 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
997 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
998 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
999 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
1000 - disable pipeline workaround
1001 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
1002 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
1003 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
1004 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
1005 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
1006 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
1007 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
1008 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
1009 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
1010 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
1011 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
1012 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
1013 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
1014 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
1015 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.
1016 * Use iceweasel/firefox as x-www-browser and w3m as www-browser (if
1018 * Check for presence of the initrd.
1019 * Improve adjustment of suite for $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP.
1020 * Add /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/

1024 grml-live (0.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
1026 * Support for setting GRML_NAME (like grml vs. grml-small
1028 * Drop the character limits of $VERSION and $RELEASENAME.
1029 * Make sure $SECONDS is set before outputting the runtime.
1030 * Unify usage of i386_files, place all template files in
1031 directory templates now.
1032 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1033 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1034 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1036 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1037 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1038 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1039 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1040 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
