1 grml-debootstrap (0.29) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 The "thanks to gebi for the bugreports and feedback" release. :)
4 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
6 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
7 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.
8 * Mention "default: lenny" instead of "default: stable" in help
9 text as "stable" is invalid.
10 * Use 'pri=0' as example for swap partition in /etc/fstab.
11 * Do not adjust mydestination and myhostname in /etc/postfix/main.cf as
12 mydestination defaults to "$myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost",
13 myhostname defaults to gethostname() and mydomain to localdomain.
14 * Slightly improve wording of -t and -p options.
15 * Do not try to create /etc/debootstrap if it already exists (which
16 might be the case when installing to a directory).
17 * Mention hostname in configuration check dialog.
18 * Apply patch by Zoran Dzelajlija which addresses the partition
19 calculation problem when installing to /dev/cciss/c0d0*. Thanks!
20 * Use ls for locating /dev/md* devices instead of echo so we don't
21 have '/dev/md*' in the interactive partition dialog.
22 * Do not display mountpoint if we are using the default one.
23 * Avoid duplicate 'Running ... on a directory, nothing to mount.'
25 * Do not continue execution if provided mirror doesn't work.

40 - support setting Debian suite components (like main, contrib,...)
41 through COMPONENTS so it's possible to use a simple 'main' mirror.
42 - support setting aptitude/apt-get options through $DPKG_OPTIONS.
43 - support selection of netinstall vs. local mirror in interactive menu
45 - make sure to ignore /dev/md* devices if not using SW-RAID
46 - do not fail in chrootmirror() when using $ISO variable.
47 - change order of checkconfiguration() so we get the prompt/
48 display for checking configuration again.
49 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
50 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
52 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
53 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
54 - chroot-script: put installation of kernel before installing additional
55 packages so installation of kernel doesn't fail if the kernel directory
58 - bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).

64 * Do not use UUID on SW-RAID.
65 * Add /dev/md* to partition list. If /dev/md* is already
66 configured we don't want to re-run the SW-RAID setup
67 but instead just install on /dev/md*.

97 The "hey, rocking - we get patches via git" release.
99 * Improve look'n'feel of partition error dialog.
100 * Improve documentation regarding installation of bootloader when
101 using directories as installation target. Thanks Tong Sun!

107 - pre-seed packages using /etc/debootstrap/debconf-selections

111 - support KEEP_SRC_LIST to allow user to provide their
112 own apt sources.list from /etc/debootstrap/etc/apt/sources.list
113 - provide cmdline processing in separate script
114 - added the '-d, --confdir=path' option

122 - modify hostname related options in /etc/postfix/main.cf
123 - listen on loopback interface by default (thanks for suggestion, gebi)
124 * Unify the --bootappend option, it's not --boot_append (thanks for
126 * Support execution of further scripts via options --scripts and
128 * Drop locales from RECONFIGURE list (thanks for hint, Tong Sun).

164 The "development sponsored by Sipwise GmbH" release.
166 * Provide interactive configuration dialog.
167 * Initial support for SW-RAID.

184 * Install devices using our own device tarball instead of running
