214 * Do not use /etc/grml_version but instead use /etc/debian_version

228 configuration variable SQUASHFS_BINARY.

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

244 grml-live (0.9.21) unstable; urgency=low
249 - Split the single /etc/apt/sources.list file into structured files
250 in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. We are using:
251 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list for all grml related repositories
252 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list for official Debian repositories
254 - Provide information about grml-live version and Debian/suite
255 through /etc/grml_live_version in the generated ISO. [Closes: issue637]
256 - New graphical boot menu. Can be disabled via ISOLINUX_METHOD=console.
257 - New configuration variables DISTRI_NAME and DISTRI_INFO which should allow
258 easier rebranding of grml-live based distributions.
259 - Support installation of local files (not being part of any Debian package)
260 through $CHROOT_INSTALL.
261 - Display path of FAI logs during execution of grml-live.
262 - Replace all references to ftp.de.debian.org with cdn.debian.org,
263 see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGeoMirror for details.
264 Thanks for the idea, Marc Haber!
266 * Bug fixes and improvements:
267 - When adjusting postfix configuration: make sure to execute newaliases
268 command after adjusting configuration, otherwise the old hostname
269 will be left inside /etc/aliases.db.
270 - grml_cleanup_chroot: get rid of /etc/lvm/cache/.cache and
271 /etc/lvm/backup/main as well.
272 - grml_cleanup_chroot: drop the /usr/include/linux checks.
273 - 90-update-alternatives: use wm-ng as default x-window-manager.
275 - Check for existence of $target/etc/apt/important_note.txt before
277 - buildd: drop GRML_LIVE_ARCH but instead use default architecture
279 - Set UTC=no by default. See http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue708 for
280 details. Credits to Ulrich Zehl for debugging. [Closes: issue708]
281 - Improve check for architecture which should be build: if not specified
282 assume a safe default and check this one.
283 - Unify variable default checks, always assume sane defaults.
284 - Always run $SUITE checks, so grml-live repository is used also
285 if suite isn't manually specified.
286 - Detect existence of stage 'boot' using boot/isolinux so grml-live
287 executed with options '-q -B' and empty boot/isolinux works as well.
288 - Introduce $NO_WINDOWS_BINARIES which replaces $WINDOWS_BINARIES so
289 we can improve sanity checks and easify configuration.
290 - Integrate memtest86+ binary so we don't ship old versions from
291 the build host. [Closes: issue717]
292 - Check whether rebuild of ISO is needed even though the ISO exists already.
295 * Debian packaging related changes:
296 - Bump to Standard-Version 3.8.3 (no further changes).
297 - Improve long description.
298 - Update copyright file (make lintian happy).

308 - Add aesfix, aeskeyfind, bios-memimage, chaosreader, ext3grep, fatback,
309 myrescue, pipebench, safecopy, shed and xmount to GRML_FORENSIC. The
310 packages are either already available or should be available soon.
311 - Add scsitools to GRML_MEDIUM.
312 - Drop bar from GRML_FULL (no release since 2007, consider using
313 for example cpipe instead).
314 - Drop grml-saveconfig as it is replaced with recent versions
316 - Drop hydra from GRML_FULL (the license is not a clean GPL one).
317 - Drop icedax from GRML_FULL (we have schilyutils available).
320 * Update MirOS bsd4grml to 20090812 and sync menu.lst, grub.cfg,
321 isolinux.cfg, syslinux.cfg with each other; provide a fallback
322 way to boot MirOS bsd4grml from both GRUB versions using modules.
323 * Fix going back to GNU GRUB from ldbsd.com via alternative boot method;
324 while here, add the grml release info to the appropriate file.

338 - Drop gdk-imlib11 (see #522810).
339 - Drop gqcam (still depends on gtk1.2).
340 - Drop hping2 (hping3 is available in all relevant Debian releases
341 nowadays, see #533275).
342 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).
343 - Drop rgpsp (owner set to Debian QA Group and package doesn't seem
344 to be that important for grml).
345 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).
346 - Drop workbone (see #429178).
347 * Add check for valid Debian suite name to avoid breakage of sources.list
348 if someone calls grml-live with a typo in the -s option.

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

631 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
632 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so

642 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default

658 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt

660 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the

662 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with

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

1307 * Added new grml-repository named grml-live which is intented
1308 to fix issues from Debian for grml-live builds. It is automatically
1309 activated if you are building against unstable/sid and should
1310 be used manually only if you realy know what you are doing.
1311 Notice: if something fails inside building the base chroot/
1312 debootstrap system we can't do anything via grml-live for you

1366 * Fix stderr redirection in "/usr/sbin/fai already running..."
1367 * Update /etc/grml/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf
1368 * Use /var/log/fai/dirinstall/${HOSTNAME}/grml-live.log as logfile
1369 for grml-live instead of /var/log/grml-live.log so it's easier
1371 * Update of buildd scripts: main configuration file main.sh
1372 which provides all the build stuff inside separate functions.
1373 * Fall back to blackhole.pca.dfn.de as keyserver if retreiving
1374 from subkeys.pgp.net fails.
1375 * Improve check for kernel version inside
1376 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/10-build-initramfs
1377 * Work around #353967 for Debian/etch in
1378 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/21-usersetup

1387 * Add new scripts to /usr/share/grml-live/examples/buildd/:
1388 - grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_etch.sh
1389 - grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_sid.sh
1390 - grml-live_autobuild_grml64-small_etch.sh
1391 - grml-live_autobuild_grml64-small_sid.sh
1392 * Some more FAI error checking.
1393 * Updated buildd scripts (better subject handling).
1394 * Re-enable 'Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth' workaround'.
1395 Restore usual Debian behaviour at the end using
1396 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/99-finish-grml-build
1397 * Add new scripts for retreiving bugs via apt-listbugs
1398 and storing package selection inside log directory.
1399 This has been integrated in a new class named "RELEASE".
1400 * Added support for new kernel version 2.6.23-grml to
1402 * Use uxterm as x-terminal-emulator and fall back to xterm
1403 only it uxterm is not available.
1404 * Support /etc/locale.gen.grml - it's used by default in
1405 class GRML_FULL and a new class named LOCALES.
1406 * Work around #443481 (bug inside snort) for Debian etch
1407 via using /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters (thanks for
1408 the idea, Thomas Lange!)
1409 * Do not exit with an error code if /usr/include/linux is NOT
1410 a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux but keep it as
1412 * Log executed grml-live command.
1413 * Re-enable problematic packages that have been fixed:
1414 - apt-listbugs (fixed via manual interaction in scripts)
1415 - gsm-utils (#353967)
1417 - wvdial (fixed via debconf)

1425 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
1427 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
1428 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
1429 templates for building the ISO can be found.
1430 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
1431 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
1432 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
1433 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
1434 - disable pipeline workaround
1435 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
1436 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
1437 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
1438 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
1439 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
1440 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
1441 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
1442 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
1443 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
1444 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
1445 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
1446 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
1447 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
1448 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
1449 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.
1450 * Use iceweasel/firefox as x-www-browser and w3m as www-browser (if

1462 * Drop the character limits of $VERSION and $RELEASENAME.
1463 * Make sure $SECONDS is set before outputting the runtime.
1464 * Unify usage of i386_files, place all template files in
1465 directory templates now.
1466 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1467 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1468 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1470 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1471 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1472 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1473 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1474 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
