35 are pretty useless without plugins which need just too much space).
36 * Rework variable replacements in templates. Now the %VAR% strings
37 in the templates match with the ones used inside grml-live ($VAR),
38 currently ARCH, DATE, DISTRI_INFO, DISTRI_NAME, DISTRI_SPLASH,
39 GRML_NAME, SQUASHFS_NAME, RELEASE_INFO, SHORT_NAME and VERSION

125 * Do not use /etc/grml_version but instead use /etc/debian_version
126 as check whether the chroot exists. If grml-live execution
127 itself succeded but was interrupted during task_configure it should
128 be fine to re-run grml-live with -u/-b options.
129 * Fix usage of exclude option in $SQUASHFS_OPTIONS.

138 * Introduce support for squashfs-lzma-tools 4.0-1 and support
139 configuration variable SQUASHFS_BINARY.
140 * Modify update-initramfs call in grml-live script as the
141 'update-initramfs -u -t' might fail with linux images which have been
142 build using kernel-package.
143 * templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg: add space char at end of lines in entries
144 that are meant for manual editing (so user just has to press <tab>
146 * Add 'pci=nomsi' to failsafe bootoption (thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt).
147 * Fix grml2usb bootoption in templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg.

149 according code has been executed (and do not display if skipping).

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

249 - Drop gdk-imlib11 (see #522810).
250 - Drop gqcam (still depends on gtk1.2).

252 nowadays, see #533275).
253 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).
254 - Drop rgpsp (owner set to Debian QA Group and package doesn't seem
255 to be that important for grml).
256 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).
257 - Drop workbone (see #429178).
258 * Add check for valid Debian suite name to avoid breakage of sources.list
259 if someone calls grml-live with a typo in the -s option.

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

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

444 grml-live (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
446 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
447 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
448 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
449 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't
450 want to ship it with default grml:
459 * Add ${misc:Depends} to binary packages' depend.
460 * Bump Standard-Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).
461 * Install /etc/grml/fai/live-initramfs/live.conf only if

537 - add mc (on request by Christian Kuehlborn)
538 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
540 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
541 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
542 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
543 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
544 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
545 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
546 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
547 This should avoid issues with something like
548 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
549 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
550 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
551 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
553 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
554 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
555 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
556 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
557 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
558 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
559 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
560 so we can grep for it in any case.
561 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.
562 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the idea! [Closes: issue570]

564 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
565 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
566 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
567 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
568 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
569 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
570 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
571 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
572 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
573 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
574 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
575 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
577 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
578 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
579 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
580 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
581 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
582 update docs regarding the file.
583 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages
