26 xtables-addons-common).
27 - Drop harden-remoteaudit + openvas-server from GRML_FULL (they
28 are pretty useless without plugins which need just too much space).
29 * Rework variable replacements in templates. Now the %VAR% strings
30 in the templates match with the ones used inside grml-live ($VAR),
31 currently ARCH, DATE, DISTRI_INFO, DISTRI_NAME, DISTRI_SPLASH,
32 GRML_NAME, SQUASHFS_NAME, RELEASE_INFO, SHORT_NAME and VERSION
33 are supported. If you use your own templates from older grml-live
34 versions please make sure to adjust them.

118 * Do not use /etc/grml_version but instead use /etc/debian_version
119 as check whether the chroot exists. If grml-live execution
120 itself succeded but was interrupted during task_configure it should
121 be fine to re-run grml-live with -u/-b options.
122 * Fix usage of exclude option in $SQUASHFS_OPTIONS.
123 * Always remove temporary squashfs stderr file.

131 * Introduce support for squashfs-lzma-tools 4.0-1 and support
132 configuration variable SQUASHFS_BINARY.

134 'update-initramfs -u -t' might fail with linux images which have been
135 build using kernel-package.
136 * templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg: add space char at end of lines in entries
137 that are meant for manual editing (so user just has to press <tab>
139 * Add 'pci=nomsi' to failsafe bootoption (thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt).
140 * Fix grml2usb bootoption in templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg.
141 * Display "Finished execution of stage 'WINDOWS_BINARIES'" only if the
142 according code has been executed (and do not display if skipping).

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

241 - Drop fcoretools (see #534542).
242 - Drop gdk-imlib11 (see #522810).
243 - Drop gqcam (still depends on gtk1.2).
244 - Drop hping2 (hping3 is available in all relevant Debian releases
245 nowadays, see #533275).
246 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).
247 - Drop rgpsp (owner set to Debian QA Group and package doesn't seem
248 to be that important for grml).
249 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).
250 - Drop workbone (see #429178).
251 * Add check for valid Debian suite name to avoid breakage of sources.list
252 if someone calls grml-live with a typo in the -s option.

254 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/40-deborphan.

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

437 grml-live (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
439 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
440 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
441 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
442 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't
443 want to ship it with default grml:
452 * Add ${misc:Depends} to binary packages' depend.

531 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
533 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
534 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
535 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
536 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
537 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
538 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
539 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
540 This should avoid issues with something like
541 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
542 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
543 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
544 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
546 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
547 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
548 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
549 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
550 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
551 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
552 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
553 so we can grep for it in any case.

559 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
560 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
561 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
562 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
563 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
564 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
565 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
566 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
567 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
568 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
570 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
571 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
572 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
573 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
