1 grml-live (0.9.24) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
4 * Update templates/GRML/grml-cheatcodes.txt: mention nodhcphostname.
5 * Changed isolinux vesamenu layout to support better multiiso layout.
8 * Software related changes:
9 - Add openvas-client, openvas-plugins-base, openvas-plugins-dfsg +
10 openvas-server to GRML_FORENSIC.
11 - Drop lcap (package is gone) from GRML_FORENSIC.
12 - Drop isic + lcap (packages gone) from GRML_FULL.
13 - Drop ipset from GRML_FULL + GRML_FORENSIC (it's part of
14 xtables-addons-common).
15 - Drop harden-remoteaudit + openvas-server from GRML_FULL (they
16 are pretty useless without plugins which need just too much space).
17 * Rework variable replacements in templates. Now the %VAR% strings
18 in the templates match with the ones used inside grml-live ($VAR),
19 currently ARCH, DATE, DISTRI_INFO, DISTRI_NAME, DISTRI_SPLASH,
20 GRML_NAME, SQUASHFS_NAME, RELEASE_INFO, SHORT_NAME and VERSION
21 are supported. If you use your own templates from older grml-live
22 versions please make sure to adjust them.
23 Thanks to Ulrich for helping with integration within grml2usb.
24 * /etc/grml/fai/config/debconf/GRMLBASE: add configuration for
25 portmap to not listen on the loopback interface only by default.

104 * Do not use /etc/grml_version but instead use /etc/debian_version
105 as check whether the chroot exists. If grml-live execution
106 itself succeded but was interrupted during task_configure it should
107 be fine to re-run grml-live with -u/-b options.
108 * Fix usage of exclude option in $SQUASHFS_OPTIONS.
109 * Always remove temporary squashfs stderr file.
110 * Fix usage of /etc/runlevel.conf in 15-initsetup.
111 * Add wicd configuration to /etc/grml/fai/config/debconf/GRMLBASE.
112 * Temporarly move /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list in instsoft.GRMLBASE

117 * Introduce support for squashfs-lzma-tools 4.0-1 and support
118 configuration variable SQUASHFS_BINARY.
119 * Modify update-initramfs call in grml-live script as the
120 'update-initramfs -u -t' might fail with linux images which have been
121 build using kernel-package.
122 * templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg: add space char at end of lines in entries
123 that are meant for manual editing (so user just has to press <tab>
125 * Add 'pci=nomsi' to failsafe bootoption (thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt).
126 * Fix grml2usb bootoption in templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg.
127 * Display "Finished execution of stage 'WINDOWS_BINARIES'" only if the
128 according code has been executed (and do not display if skipping).
129 * Completely remove /lib/modules/${KERNEL}/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax on
130 grml-small as there will be unresolved symbols without hisax.ko.

134 grml-live (0.9.21) unstable; urgency=low
139 - Split the single /etc/apt/sources.list file into structured files
140 in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. We are using:
141 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list for all grml related repositories
142 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list for official Debian repositories
144 - Provide information about grml-live version and Debian/suite
145 through /etc/grml_live_version in the generated ISO. [Closes: issue637]
146 - New graphical boot menu. Can be disabled via ISOLINUX_METHOD=console.
147 - New configuration variables DISTRI_NAME and DISTRI_INFO which should allow
148 easier rebranding of grml-live based distributions.
149 - Support installation of local files (not being part of any Debian package)
150 through $CHROOT_INSTALL.
151 - Display path of FAI logs during execution of grml-live.
152 - Replace all references to ftp.de.debian.org with cdn.debian.org,
153 see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGeoMirror for details.
154 Thanks for the idea, Marc Haber!
156 * Bug fixes and improvements:
157 - When adjusting postfix configuration: make sure to execute newaliases
158 command after adjusting configuration, otherwise the old hostname
159 will be left inside /etc/aliases.db.
160 - grml_cleanup_chroot: get rid of /etc/lvm/cache/.cache and
161 /etc/lvm/backup/main as well.
162 - grml_cleanup_chroot: drop the /usr/include/linux checks.
163 - 90-update-alternatives: use wm-ng as default x-window-manager.
165 - Check for existence of $target/etc/apt/important_note.txt before
167 - buildd: drop GRML_LIVE_ARCH but instead use default architecture
169 - Set UTC=no by default. See http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue708 for
170 details. Credits to Ulrich Zehl for debugging. [Closes: issue708]
171 - Improve check for architecture which should be build: if not specified
172 assume a safe default and check this one.
173 - Unify variable default checks, always assume sane defaults.
174 - Always run $SUITE checks, so grml-live repository is used also
175 if suite isn't manually specified.
176 - Detect existence of stage 'boot' using boot/isolinux so grml-live
177 executed with options '-q -B' and empty boot/isolinux works as well.
178 - Introduce $NO_WINDOWS_BINARIES which replaces $WINDOWS_BINARIES so
179 we can improve sanity checks and easify configuration.
180 - Integrate memtest86+ binary so we don't ship old versions from
181 the build host. [Closes: issue717]
182 - Check whether rebuild of ISO is needed even though the ISO exists already.
185 * Debian packaging related changes:
186 - Bump to Standard-Version 3.8.3 (no further changes).
187 - Improve long description.
188 - Update copyright file (make lintian happy).
189 - Register grml-live html docs using doc-base.
192 - grml-cheatcodes: document bootoption 'nostartx'.
193 - Apply patch from Marc Haber (thanks!) for new grml cheatcodes
194 (new DCS directory feature).
196 * Software related changes:
197 - Add git-email to GRML_FULL (thanks to Joerg Woelke for mentioning).
198 - Add aesfix, aeskeyfind, bios-memimage, chaosreader, ext3grep, fatback,
199 myrescue, pipebench, safecopy, shed and xmount to GRML_FORENSIC. The
200 packages are either already available or should be available soon.
201 - Add scsitools to GRML_MEDIUM.
202 - Drop bar from GRML_FULL (no release since 2007, consider using
203 for example cpipe instead).
204 - Drop grml-saveconfig as it is replaced with recent versions
206 - Drop hydra from GRML_FULL (the license is not a clean GPL one).
207 - Drop icedax from GRML_FULL (we have schilyutils available).
210 * Update MirOS bsd4grml to 20090812 and sync menu.lst, grub.cfg,
211 isolinux.cfg, syslinux.cfg with each other; provide a fallback
212 way to boot MirOS bsd4grml from both GRUB versions using modules.
213 * Fix going back to GNU GRUB from ldbsd.com via alternative boot method;
214 while here, add the grml release info to the appropriate file.

226 - Drop ext2resize (see #400797).
227 - Drop fcoretools (see #534542).
228 - Drop gdk-imlib11 (see #522810).
229 - Drop gqcam (still depends on gtk1.2).
230 - Drop hping2 (hping3 is available in all relevant Debian releases
231 nowadays, see #533275).
232 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).
233 - Drop rgpsp (owner set to Debian QA Group and package doesn't seem
234 to be that important for grml).
235 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).
236 - Drop workbone (see #429178).
237 * Add check for valid Debian suite name to avoid breakage of sources.list
238 if someone calls grml-live with a typo in the -s option.
239 * Add exception for libewf1 and libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 in
240 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/40-deborphan.

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

423 grml-live (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
425 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
426 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
427 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
428 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't
429 want to ship it with default grml:
438 * Add ${misc:Depends} to binary packages' depend.
439 * Bump Standard-Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).
440 * Install /etc/grml/fai/live-initramfs/live.conf only if

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

511 - drop package tspc (see #462738 and #515193)
512 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)
513 * Changes in GRML_MEDIUM:

516 - add mc (on request by Christian Kuehlborn)
517 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
519 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
520 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
521 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
522 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
523 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
524 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
525 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
526 This should avoid issues with something like
527 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
528 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
529 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
530 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
532 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
533 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
534 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
535 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
536 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
537 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
538 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
539 so we can grep for it in any case.
540 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.
541 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the idea! [Closes: issue570]

543 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
544 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
545 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
546 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
547 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
548 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
549 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
550 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
551 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
552 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
553 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
554 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
556 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
557 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
558 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
559 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
560 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
561 update docs regarding the file.
562 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages

615 * Remove mozilla-imagezoom from GRML_FULL (the "extension installed"

618 * Rework locale handling. From now on /usr/share/locale gets removed
619 by default (though /usr/share/i18n/locales won't be touched for
620 now), unless using class LOCALES. Reason: We have >70MB inside
621 /usr/share/locale on GRML_FULL, just too much to ship by default,

624 * Provide grml's gpg key via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/grml.key
625 so we support offline operation as well. Based on an idea by
626 Thomas Lehmann, thanks!
627 * Generate ISO with volume label "${GRML_NAME} ${VERSION}" instead of
