1 grml-live (0.9.24) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
4 * Update templates/GRML/grml-cheatcodes.txt: mention nodhcphostname.
5 * Changed isolinux vesamenu layout to support better multiiso layout.
8 * Software related changes:
9 - Drop lcap (package is gone) from GRML_FORENSIC.
10 - Drop isic + lcap (packages gone) from GRML_FULL.
11 - Drop ipset from GRML_FULL + GRML_FORENSIC (it's part of
12 xtables-addons-common).
13 - Drop harden-remoteaudit + openvas-server from GRML_FULL (they
14 are pretty useless without plugins which need just too much space).
15 * Rework variable replacements in templates. Now the %VAR% strings
16 in the templates match with the ones used inside grml-live ($VAR),
17 currently ARCH, DATE, DISTRI_INFO, DISTRI_NAME, DISTRI_SPLASH,
18 GRML_NAME, SQUASHFS_NAME, RELEASE_INFO, SHORT_NAME and VERSION
19 are supported. If you use your own templates from older grml-live
20 versions please make sure to adjust them.
21 Thanks to Ulrich for helping with integration within grml2usb.
22 * /etc/grml/fai/config/debconf/GRMLBASE: add configuration for
23 portmap to not listen on the loopback interface only by default.

102 * Do not use /etc/grml_version but instead use /etc/debian_version
103 as check whether the chroot exists. If grml-live execution
104 itself succeded but was interrupted during task_configure it should
105 be fine to re-run grml-live with -u/-b options.
106 * Fix usage of exclude option in $SQUASHFS_OPTIONS.
107 * Always remove temporary squashfs stderr file.
108 * Fix usage of /etc/runlevel.conf in 15-initsetup.
109 * Add wicd configuration to /etc/grml/fai/config/debconf/GRMLBASE.
110 * Temporarly move /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list in instsoft.GRMLBASE
111 to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.unused and restore in 33-aptsetup

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

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

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

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

421 grml-live (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
423 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
424 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
425 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
426 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't
427 want to ship it with default grml:
436 * Add ${misc:Depends} to binary packages' depend.
437 * Bump Standard-Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).
438 * Install /etc/grml/fai/live-initramfs/live.conf only if

509 - drop package tspc (see #462738 and #515193)
510 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)
511 * Changes in GRML_MEDIUM:

515 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
517 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
518 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
519 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
520 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
521 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
522 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
523 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
524 This should avoid issues with something like
525 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
526 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
527 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
528 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
530 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
531 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
532 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
533 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
534 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
535 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
536 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
537 so we can grep for it in any case.
538 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.
539 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the idea! [Closes: issue570]

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

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

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

624 Thomas Lehmann, thanks!
625 * Generate ISO with volume label "${GRML_NAME} ${VERSION}" instead of
