13 * Rework variable replacements in templates. Now the %VAR% strings
14 in the templates match with the ones used inside grml-live ($VAR),
15 currently ARCH, DATE, DISTRI_INFO, DISTRI_NAME, DISTRI_SPLASH,
16 GRML_NAME, SQUASHFS_NAME, RELEASE_INFO, SHORT_NAME and VERSION
17 are supported. If you use your own templates from older grml-live
18 versions please make sure to adjust them.
19 Thanks to Ulrich for helping with integration within grml2usb.

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

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

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

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

420 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
421 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
422 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't
423 want to ship it with default grml:
432 * Add ${misc:Depends} to binary packages' depend.
433 * Bump Standard-Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).

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

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

609 * Remove mozilla-imagezoom from GRML_FULL (the "extension installed"
610 * Execute dpkg-reconfigure for localepurge with noninteractive frontend.
612 * Rework locale handling. From now on /usr/share/locale gets removed
613 by default (though /usr/share/i18n/locales won't be touched for
614 now), unless using class LOCALES. Reason: We have >70MB inside
615 /usr/share/locale on GRML_FULL, just too much to ship by default,
616 message at startup sucks).
617 * Update grml-cheatcodes.txt.
618 * Provide grml's gpg key via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/grml.key
619 so we support offline operation as well. Based on an idea by
620 Thomas Lehmann, thanks!
621 * Generate ISO with volume label "${GRML_NAME} ${VERSION}" instead of
622 "grml $VERSION" so we propagate the according grml-name. Thanks to
