99 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
100 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
101 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
102 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't

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

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

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

286 - latencytop (A tool for developers to visualize system latencies)
287 - powertop (Linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop)
288 * Remove localepurge from GRML_SMALL.
289 * Remove mozilla-imagezoom from GRML_FULL (the "extension installed"
290 * Execute dpkg-reconfigure for localepurge with noninteractive frontend.
292 * Rework locale handling. From now on /usr/share/locale gets removed
293 by default (though /usr/share/i18n/locales won't be touched for
294 now), unless using class LOCALES. Reason: We have >70MB inside
295 /usr/share/locale on GRML_FULL, just too much to ship by default,
296 message at startup sucks).
297 * Update grml-cheatcodes.txt.
298 * Provide grml's gpg key via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/grml.key
299 so we support offline operation as well. Based on an idea by
300 Thomas Lehmann, thanks!
301 * Generate ISO with volume label "${GRML_NAME} ${VERSION}" instead of

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

872 to fix issues from Debian for grml-live builds. It is automatically
873 activated if you are building against unstable/sid and should
874 be used manually only if you realy know what you are doing.

942 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/21-usersetup
943 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
944 - ghostscript (and get rid of gs, gs-common, gs-esp)

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

989 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
991 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
992 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
993 templates for building the ISO can be found.
994 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
995 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
996 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
997 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
998 - disable pipeline workaround
999 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
1000 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
1001 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
1002 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
1003 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
1004 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
1005 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
1006 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
1007 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
1008 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
1009 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
1010 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
1011 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
1012 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
1013 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.
1014 * Use iceweasel/firefox as x-www-browser and w3m as www-browser (if
1016 * Check for presence of the initrd.
1017 * Improve adjustment of suite for $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP.
1018 * Add /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/

1022 grml-live (0.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
1024 * Support for setting GRML_NAME (like grml vs. grml-small
1026 * Drop the character limits of $VERSION and $RELEASENAME.
1027 * Make sure $SECONDS is set before outputting the runtime.
1028 * Unify usage of i386_files, place all template files in
1029 directory templates now.
1030 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1031 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1032 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1034 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1035 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1036 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1037 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1038 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
