274 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list for all grml related repositories
275 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list for official Debian repositories
277 - Provide information about grml-live version and Debian/suite
278 through /etc/grml_live_version in the generated ISO. [Closes: issue637]
279 - New graphical boot menu. Can be disabled via ISOLINUX_METHOD=console.
280 - New configuration variables DISTRI_NAME and DISTRI_INFO which should allow
281 easier rebranding of grml-live based distributions.
282 - Support installation of local files (not being part of any Debian package)
283 through $CHROOT_INSTALL.
284 - Display path of FAI logs during execution of grml-live.
285 - Replace all references to ftp.de.debian.org with cdn.debian.org,
286 see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGeoMirror for details.
287 Thanks for the idea, Marc Haber!
289 * Bug fixes and improvements:
290 - When adjusting postfix configuration: make sure to execute newaliases
291 command after adjusting configuration, otherwise the old hostname
292 will be left inside /etc/aliases.db.
293 - grml_cleanup_chroot: get rid of /etc/lvm/cache/.cache and
294 /etc/lvm/backup/main as well.
295 - grml_cleanup_chroot: drop the /usr/include/linux checks.
296 - 90-update-alternatives: use wm-ng as default x-window-manager.
298 - Check for existence of $target/etc/apt/important_note.txt before
300 - buildd: drop GRML_LIVE_ARCH but instead use default architecture
302 - Set UTC=no by default. See http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue708 for
303 details. Credits to Ulrich Zehl for debugging. [Closes: issue708]
304 - Improve check for architecture which should be build: if not specified
305 assume a safe default and check this one.
306 - Unify variable default checks, always assume sane defaults.
307 - Always run $SUITE checks, so grml-live repository is used also
308 if suite isn't manually specified.
309 - Detect existence of stage 'boot' using boot/isolinux so grml-live
310 executed with options '-q -B' and empty boot/isolinux works as well.
311 - Introduce $NO_WINDOWS_BINARIES which replaces $WINDOWS_BINARIES so
312 we can improve sanity checks and easify configuration.
313 - Integrate memtest86+ binary so we don't ship old versions from
314 the build host. [Closes: issue717]
315 - Check whether rebuild of ISO is needed even though the ISO exists already.
318 * Debian packaging related changes:
319 - Bump to Standard-Version 3.8.3 (no further changes).
320 - Improve long description.

333 packages are either already available or should be available soon.
334 - Add scsitools to GRML_MEDIUM.
335 - Drop bar from GRML_FULL (no release since 2007, consider using
336 for example cpipe instead).
337 - Drop grml-saveconfig as it is replaced with recent versions
339 - Drop hydra from GRML_FULL (the license is not a clean GPL one).
340 - Drop icedax from GRML_FULL (we have schilyutils available).
343 * Update MirOS bsd4grml to 20090812 and sync menu.lst, grub.cfg,
344 isolinux.cfg, syslinux.cfg with each other; provide a fallback
345 way to boot MirOS bsd4grml from both GRUB versions using modules.

367 to be that important for grml).
368 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).

378 - use timestamp with hour, minute and second to match with FAI style
379 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/updatebase.GRMLBASE: install apt configuration
380 also when updating the chroot (this happens if we have a base.tgz available
381 on fresh installations).
382 * Document usage of STOP_ON_ERROR in /etc/grml/fai/fai.conf.
383 * Really add support for genisoimage (thanks for the bugreport, Worf).
384 * Set subdirectories of $OUTPUT independent of cmdline parsing so
385 it is possible to set it via conffile as well.
386 * Validate whether the specified architecture class matches the
387 architecture (option), otherwise installation of kernel will fail.
388 * Add 'How do I deploy grml-live on a plain Debian installation' to FAQ.
389 * Build grml-live documentation with table of content.

665 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default

681 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt

683 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the

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

1316 /usr/share/grml-live/buildd/functions.sh for generic stuff
1317 and /etc/grml/grml-buildd.conf as configuration file.

1329 $ZERO_LOGFILE for cleaning up logs.
1330 * Added new grml-repository named grml-live which is intented
1331 to fix issues from Debian for grml-live builds. It is automatically
1332 activated if you are building against unstable/sid and should
1333 be used manually only if you realy know what you are doing.
1334 Notice: if something fails inside building the base chroot/
1335 debootstrap system we can't do anything via grml-live for you

1391 * Use /var/log/fai/dirinstall/${HOSTNAME}/grml-live.log as logfile
1392 for grml-live instead of /var/log/grml-live.log so it's easier
1394 * Update of buildd scripts: main configuration file main.sh
1395 which provides all the build stuff inside separate functions.
1396 * Fall back to blackhole.pca.dfn.de as keyserver if retreiving
1397 from subkeys.pgp.net fails.

1415 * Some more FAI error checking.
1416 * Updated buildd scripts (better subject handling).
1417 * Re-enable 'Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth' workaround'.
1418 Restore usual Debian behaviour at the end using
1419 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/99-finish-grml-build
1420 * Add new scripts for retreiving bugs via apt-listbugs
1421 and storing package selection inside log directory.
1422 This has been integrated in a new class named "RELEASE".
1423 * Added support for new kernel version 2.6.23-grml to
1425 * Use uxterm as x-terminal-emulator and fall back to xterm
1426 only it uxterm is not available.
1427 * Support /etc/locale.gen.grml - it's used by default in
1428 class GRML_FULL and a new class named LOCALES.
1429 * Work around #443481 (bug inside snort) for Debian etch
1430 via using /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters (thanks for
1431 the idea, Thomas Lange!)

1451 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
1452 templates for building the ISO can be found.

1454 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
1455 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
1456 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
1457 - disable pipeline workaround
1458 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
1459 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
1460 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
1461 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
1462 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
1463 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
1464 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
1465 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools

1467 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
1468 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
1469 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget

1491 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1493 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1494 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1495 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1496 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
