grml-live (0.17.0) unstable; urgency=low 1) The sources.list handling has been further improved and better integrated, config variable $GRML_LIVE_SOURCES has gone. 2) This release provides initial support for generating netboot packages during build process (enabled by default). 3) If the according dependencies are available (xorriso >=1.1.6-1 on buildsystem, grub-efi-amd64-bin inside chroot and building using AMD64 class) then the ISOs provide initial UEFI support. 4) For better integration with Jenkins a report of missing packages in xunit format is generated and new options -A (for ensuring clean builds and pack artifacts), -T (for unpacking chroot archives) and -U (to ensure output files ownership) has been introduced. 5) Using the SOURCES class provides support to retrieve Debian package sources in the build process. -- Michael Prokop Fri, 09 Dec 2011 23:30:02 +0100 grml-live (0.15.0) unstable; urgency=low 1) The new command line option -D supports setting a configuration directory instead of /etc/grml/fai. This is the same as setting GRML_FAI_CONFIG. 2) Removed /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list, thanks to a redesign of sources.list handling which provides a more consistent approach. /etc/apt/sources.list will no longer use entries from GRML_LIVE_SOURCES once the system has been initially installed. Now handling of sources.list works as follows: ${GRML_FAI_CONFIG}/config/files/etc/apt/sources.list/GRML_LIVE_SOURCES_LIST is generated based on $GRML_LIVE_SOURCES (if set by the user, otherwise falling back to Grml repositories plus Debian). This GRML_LIVE_SOURCES_LIST file then gets deployed on *fresh* deployments. It won't be installed again when running grml-live -u. This provides more flexibility combined with a more transparent and consistent behaviour for the user. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list will be set up based on the detected Debian suite and the files from ${GRML_FAI_CONFIG}/config/files/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list/DEBIAN_*. /etc/apt/sources.list/grml-stable.list will be deployed and (depending on the build type) also /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml-testing.list might be installed. -- Michael Prokop Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:45:45 +0200 grml-live (0.9.35) unstable; urgency=low The files from /etc/grml/fai/files have been moved to /etc/grml/fai/config/files (and as a consequence /etc/grml/fai/live-initramfs has been moved to /etc/grml/fai/config/ as well). This is an important step to use the config space and class concept of FAI in a more decent and clean way. It allows much better customization. Please notice: If you didn't modify anything inside /etc/grml/fai/files you can safely remove the directory. Otherwise please check out the structure of the new /etc/grml/fai/config/files layout and the fcopy command used in /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/* scripts to incoorporate your changes. -- Michael Prokop Sat, 13 Feb 2010 01:35:43 +0100 grml-live (0.9.34) unstable; urgency=low This version introduces an additional package named grml-live-db. The grml-live-db Debian package provides a simple way to put build information of grml-live into a database. By default you have to do nothing but install grml-live-db and during each invocation of grml-live you'll get an additional entry in the sqlite3 database /var/log/grml-live.db. If you want to customize the database logging check out the grml-live-db manpage. Instead of ZERO_LOGFILE a new variable titled PRESERVE_LOGFILE has been introduced. By default grml-live cleans the build logfile so grml-live-db can work straight out-of-the-box. If you still want to preserve your logfiles (e.g. when you don't want to use grml-live-db) just enable the PRESERVE_LOGFILE option in your grml-live configuration file. For backwards compatibility reasons the ZERO_LOGFILE variable is still supported within grml-live but it's strongly recommended to adjust configuration. -- Michael Prokop Sat, 30 Jan 2010 14:36:15 +0100 grml-live (0.9.4) unstable; urgency=low grml provides its own squashfs-tools again which support LZMA compression with kernel 2.6.26-grml[64], please install the Debian package squashfs-lzma-tools of the grml repository. More details can be found in the grml-live docs. Please check out the section "Current state of grml-live with squashfs-tools and kernel" in the grml-live docs, being shipped with this package as manpage grml-live(8) and /usr/share/doc/grml-live/grml-live.html and being available online at http://grml.org/grml-live/#current_state as well. grml migrated from Mercurial (hg) to Git as version control system. If you are interested in using very recent grml-live versions from our VCS please make sure to check out the docs. http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git -- Michael Prokop Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:12:07 +0200 grml-live (0.9) unstable; urgency=low grml-live 0.9 features kernel 2.6.26-grml[64]. Using squashfs-tools 1:3.2r2-9exp1 does not work with kernel 2.6.26-grml when using LZMA compression though it works fine when using ZLIB compression. Debian provides updated squashfs-tools 1:3.3-7. You can safely upgrade as long as you don't need kernel 2.6.23-grml[64] and/or LZMA compression. All these details can be found in the grml-live docs. Please check out the section "Current state of grml-live with squashfs-tools and kernel" in the grml-live docs, being shipped with this package as manpage grml-live(8) and /usr/share/doc/grml-live/grml-live.html and being available online at http://grml.org/grml-live/#current_state as well. -- Michael Prokop Fri, 22 Aug 2008 08:32:44 +0200 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low The -t option for specifying the output directory has been renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where templates for building the ISO can be found. Do not forget to adjust present scripts you use with grml-live. -- Michael Prokop Sat, 06 Oct 2007 16:50:16 +0200
