83 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.

169 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)

174 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
176 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
177 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
178 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
179 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
180 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
181 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
182 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
183 This should avoid issues with something like
184 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
185 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
186 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
187 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
189 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
190 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
191 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
192 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
193 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
194 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
195 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
196 so we can grep for it in any case.
197 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.

200 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
201 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
202 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
203 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
204 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
205 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
206 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
207 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
208 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
209 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
210 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
211 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
213 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
214 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to

216 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.

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

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

461 * Get rid of gnu-fdisk in GRML_FULL (it's causing just too many

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

939 * Some more FAI error checking.
940 * Updated buildd scripts (better subject handling).
941 * Re-enable 'Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth' workaround'.
942 Restore usual Debian behaviour at the end using
943 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/99-finish-grml-build
944 * Add new scripts for retreiving bugs via apt-listbugs
945 and storing package selection inside log directory.
946 This has been integrated in a new class named "RELEASE".
947 * Added support for new kernel version 2.6.23-grml to
949 * Use uxterm as x-terminal-emulator and fall back to xterm
950 only it uxterm is not available.
951 * Support /etc/locale.gen.grml - it's used by default in
952 class GRML_FULL and a new class named LOCALES.
953 * Work around #443481 (bug inside snort) for Debian etch
954 via using /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters (thanks for
955 the idea, Thomas Lange!)
956 * Do not exit with an error code if /usr/include/linux is NOT
957 a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux but keep it as
959 * Log executed grml-live command.
960 * Re-enable problematic packages that have been fixed:
961 - apt-listbugs (fixed via manual interaction in scripts)
962 - gsm-utils (#353967)
964 - wvdial (fixed via debconf)
965 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
970 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 23:06:28 +0200
972 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
974 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
975 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
976 templates for building the ISO can be found.
977 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
978 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
979 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
980 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
981 - disable pipeline workaround
982 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
983 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
984 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
985 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
986 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
987 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
988 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
989 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
990 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
991 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
992 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
993 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
994 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
995 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
996 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.
997 * Use iceweasel/firefox as x-www-browser and w3m as www-browser (if
999 * Check for presence of the initrd.
1000 * Improve adjustment of suite for $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP.
1001 * Add /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/

1007 * Support for setting GRML_NAME (like grml vs. grml-small
1009 * Drop the character limits of $VERSION and $RELEASENAME.
1010 * Make sure $SECONDS is set before outputting the runtime.
1011 * Unify usage of i386_files, place all template files in
1012 directory templates now.
1013 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1014 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1015 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1017 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1018 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1019 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1020 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1021 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
