155 * Do not use /etc/grml_version but instead use /etc/debian_version
156 as check whether the chroot exists. If grml-live execution
157 itself succeded but was interrupted during task_configure it should
158 be fine to re-run grml-live with -u/-b options.

168 * Introduce support for squashfs-lzma-tools 4.0-1 and support
169 configuration variable SQUASHFS_BINARY.
170 * Modify update-initramfs call in grml-live script as the
171 'update-initramfs -u -t' might fail with linux images which have been
172 build using kernel-package.
173 * templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg: add space char at end of lines in entries
174 that are meant for manual editing (so user just has to press <tab>
176 * Add 'pci=nomsi' to failsafe bootoption (thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt).

185 grml-live (0.9.21) unstable; urgency=low
190 - Split the single /etc/apt/sources.list file into structured files
191 in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. We are using:
192 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list for all grml related repositories
193 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list for official Debian repositories
195 - Provide information about grml-live version and Debian/suite
196 through /etc/grml_live_version in the generated ISO. [Closes: issue637]
197 - New graphical boot menu. Can be disabled via ISOLINUX_METHOD=console.
198 - New configuration variables DISTRI_NAME and DISTRI_INFO which should allow
199 easier rebranding of grml-live based distributions.
200 - Support installation of local files (not being part of any Debian package)
201 through $CHROOT_INSTALL.
202 - Display path of FAI logs during execution of grml-live.
203 - Replace all references to ftp.de.debian.org with cdn.debian.org,
204 see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGeoMirror for details.
205 Thanks for the idea, Marc Haber!
207 * Bug fixes and improvements:
208 - When adjusting postfix configuration: make sure to execute newaliases
209 command after adjusting configuration, otherwise the old hostname
210 will be left inside /etc/aliases.db.
211 - grml_cleanup_chroot: get rid of /etc/lvm/cache/.cache and
212 /etc/lvm/backup/main as well.
213 - grml_cleanup_chroot: drop the /usr/include/linux checks.
214 - 90-update-alternatives: use wm-ng as default x-window-manager.
216 - Check for existence of $target/etc/apt/important_note.txt before
218 - buildd: drop GRML_LIVE_ARCH but instead use default architecture
220 - Set UTC=no by default. See http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue708 for
221 details. Credits to Ulrich Zehl for debugging. [Closes: issue708]
222 - Improve check for architecture which should be build: if not specified
223 assume a safe default and check this one.
224 - Unify variable default checks, always assume sane defaults.
225 - Always run $SUITE checks, so grml-live repository is used also
226 if suite isn't manually specified.
227 - Detect existence of stage 'boot' using boot/isolinux so grml-live
228 executed with options '-q -B' and empty boot/isolinux works as well.
229 - Introduce $NO_WINDOWS_BINARIES which replaces $WINDOWS_BINARIES so
230 we can improve sanity checks and easify configuration.
231 - Integrate memtest86+ binary so we don't ship old versions from
232 the build host. [Closes: issue717]
233 - Check whether rebuild of ISO is needed even though the ISO exists already.
236 * Debian packaging related changes:
237 - Bump to Standard-Version 3.8.3 (no further changes).
238 - Improve long description.
239 - Update copyright file (make lintian happy).

249 - Add aesfix, aeskeyfind, bios-memimage, chaosreader, ext3grep, fatback,
250 myrescue, pipebench, safecopy, shed and xmount to GRML_FORENSIC. The
251 packages are either already available or should be available soon.
252 - Add scsitools to GRML_MEDIUM.
253 - Drop bar from GRML_FULL (no release since 2007, consider using
254 for example cpipe instead).
255 - Drop grml-saveconfig as it is replaced with recent versions
257 - Drop hydra from GRML_FULL (the license is not a clean GPL one).
258 - Drop icedax from GRML_FULL (we have schilyutils available).
261 * Update MirOS bsd4grml to 20090812 and sync menu.lst, grub.cfg,
262 isolinux.cfg, syslinux.cfg with each other; provide a fallback
263 way to boot MirOS bsd4grml from both GRUB versions using modules.
264 * Fix going back to GNU GRUB from ldbsd.com via alternative boot method;
265 while here, add the grml release info to the appropriate file.

282 nowadays, see #533275).
283 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).
284 - Drop rgpsp (owner set to Debian QA Group and package doesn't seem

286 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).

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

474 grml-live (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
476 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
477 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
478 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
479 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't

499 * Mention bsd and hdt in isolinux' bootsplash f3.
500 * Mention readonly, hdt and bsd bootoptions in grml-cheatcodes.txt.
501 * Slightly improve 'grml2ram' vs 'grml toram' description in bootsplash.

562 - drop package tspc (see #462738 and #515193)
563 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)
564 * Changes in GRML_MEDIUM:

567 - add mc (on request by Christian Kuehlborn)
568 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
570 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
571 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
572 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
573 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
574 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
575 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
576 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
577 This should avoid issues with something like
578 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
579 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
580 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
581 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
583 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
584 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
585 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
586 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
587 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
588 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
589 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
590 so we can grep for it in any case.
591 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.
592 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the idea! [Closes: issue570]

594 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
595 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
596 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
597 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
598 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
599 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
600 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
601 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
602 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
603 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
604 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
605 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
607 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
608 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
609 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
610 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
611 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
612 update docs regarding the file.
613 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages

1351 a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux but keep it as
1353 * Log executed grml-live command.
1354 * Re-enable problematic packages that have been fixed:
1355 - apt-listbugs (fixed via manual interaction in scripts)
1356 - gsm-utils (#353967)
1358 - wvdial (fixed via debconf)
1359 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:

1366 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
1368 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
1369 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
1370 templates for building the ISO can be found.
1371 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
1372 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
1373 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
1374 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
1375 - disable pipeline workaround
1376 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
1377 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
1378 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
1379 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
1380 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
1381 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
1382 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
1383 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
1384 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
1385 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
1386 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
1387 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
1388 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
1389 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
1390 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.
1391 * Use iceweasel/firefox as x-www-browser and w3m as www-browser (if
1393 * Check for presence of the initrd.
1394 * Improve adjustment of suite for $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP.
1395 * Add /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/

1401 * Support for setting GRML_NAME (like grml vs. grml-small
1403 * Drop the character limits of $VERSION and $RELEASENAME.
1404 * Make sure $SECONDS is set before outputting the runtime.
1405 * Unify usage of i386_files, place all template files in
1406 directory templates now.
1407 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1408 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1409 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1411 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1412 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1413 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1414 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1415 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
