154 * Do not use /etc/grml_version but instead use /etc/debian_version
155 as check whether the chroot exists. If grml-live execution
156 itself succeded but was interrupted during task_configure it should
157 be fine to re-run grml-live with -u/-b options.

168 configuration variable SQUASHFS_BINARY.
169 * Modify update-initramfs call in grml-live script as the
170 'update-initramfs -u -t' might fail with linux images which have been
171 build using kernel-package.
172 * templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg: add space char at end of lines in entries
173 that are meant for manual editing (so user just has to press <tab>
175 * Add 'pci=nomsi' to failsafe bootoption (thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt).

184 grml-live (0.9.21) unstable; urgency=low
189 - Split the single /etc/apt/sources.list file into structured files
190 in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. We are using:
191 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list for all grml related repositories
192 - /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list for official Debian repositories
194 - Provide information about grml-live version and Debian/suite
195 through /etc/grml_live_version in the generated ISO. [Closes: issue637]
196 - New graphical boot menu. Can be disabled via ISOLINUX_METHOD=console.
197 - New configuration variables DISTRI_NAME and DISTRI_INFO which should allow
198 easier rebranding of grml-live based distributions.
199 - Support installation of local files (not being part of any Debian package)
200 through $CHROOT_INSTALL.
201 - Display path of FAI logs during execution of grml-live.
202 - Replace all references to ftp.de.debian.org with cdn.debian.org,
203 see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGeoMirror for details.
204 Thanks for the idea, Marc Haber!
206 * Bug fixes and improvements:
207 - When adjusting postfix configuration: make sure to execute newaliases
208 command after adjusting configuration, otherwise the old hostname
209 will be left inside /etc/aliases.db.
210 - grml_cleanup_chroot: get rid of /etc/lvm/cache/.cache and
211 /etc/lvm/backup/main as well.
212 - grml_cleanup_chroot: drop the /usr/include/linux checks.
213 - 90-update-alternatives: use wm-ng as default x-window-manager.
215 - Check for existence of $target/etc/apt/important_note.txt before
217 - buildd: drop GRML_LIVE_ARCH but instead use default architecture
219 - Set UTC=no by default. See http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue708 for
220 details. Credits to Ulrich Zehl for debugging. [Closes: issue708]
221 - Improve check for architecture which should be build: if not specified
222 assume a safe default and check this one.
223 - Unify variable default checks, always assume sane defaults.
224 - Always run $SUITE checks, so grml-live repository is used also
225 if suite isn't manually specified.
226 - Detect existence of stage 'boot' using boot/isolinux so grml-live
227 executed with options '-q -B' and empty boot/isolinux works as well.
228 - Introduce $NO_WINDOWS_BINARIES which replaces $WINDOWS_BINARIES so
229 we can improve sanity checks and easify configuration.
230 - Integrate memtest86+ binary so we don't ship old versions from
231 the build host. [Closes: issue717]
232 - Check whether rebuild of ISO is needed even though the ISO exists already.
235 * Debian packaging related changes:
236 - Bump to Standard-Version 3.8.3 (no further changes).
237 - Improve long description.
238 - Update copyright file (make lintian happy).

248 - Add aesfix, aeskeyfind, bios-memimage, chaosreader, ext3grep, fatback,
249 myrescue, pipebench, safecopy, shed and xmount to GRML_FORENSIC. The
250 packages are either already available or should be available soon.
251 - Add scsitools to GRML_MEDIUM.
252 - Drop bar from GRML_FULL (no release since 2007, consider using
253 for example cpipe instead).
254 - Drop grml-saveconfig as it is replaced with recent versions
256 - Drop hydra from GRML_FULL (the license is not a clean GPL one).
257 - Drop icedax from GRML_FULL (we have schilyutils available).
260 * Update MirOS bsd4grml to 20090812 and sync menu.lst, grub.cfg,
261 isolinux.cfg, syslinux.cfg with each other; provide a fallback
262 way to boot MirOS bsd4grml from both GRUB versions using modules.
263 * Fix going back to GNU GRUB from ldbsd.com via alternative boot method;
264 while here, add the grml release info to the appropriate file.

281 nowadays, see #533275).
282 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).
283 - Drop rgpsp (owner set to Debian QA Group and package doesn't seem
284 to be that important for grml).
285 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).

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

473 grml-live (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
475 * Split package into grml-live and grml-live-addons.
476 Add grml-live-addons to Recommends of package grml-live.
477 Package grml-live-addons provides the templates/boot/addons
478 files that require >7MB of disk space overall so we don't

561 - drop package tspc (see #462738 and #515193)
562 - replace gqview with geeqie (thanks, Spida)
563 * Changes in GRML_MEDIUM:

566 - add mc (on request by Christian Kuehlborn)
567 * Document noautoconfig in grml-cheatcodes. Thanks to Ralf Moll!
569 - rename all etch* related scripts to lenny*
570 - adjust scripts to use "lenny" instead of "stable" for building
571 [to avoid that "etch" is used as build name but lenny is used]
572 - use "$NAME-daily-$SUITE" in functions.sh as build name so
573 identifying ISOs while running them is easier
574 * Support squeeze as valid suite name.
575 * Comment Debian/unstable in /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences by default.
576 This should avoid issues with something like
577 'apt-get -t experimental ...'
578 * Consequently drop 'Latest change' lines from all files.
579 * Support generation of sha1sum [Testing: issue622]
580 * Drop first, unnecessary APPEND line in isolinux.cfg and syslinux.cfg.
582 * Do no longer use the bootoption lang=us by default. We use it by default
583 in grml-autoconfig anyway and this shortens our /proc/cmdline.
584 * Run commands requiring network access through 'timeout 10' by default
585 if possible. [Closes: issue396]
586 * Do not use build server's hostname for /etc/mailname and
587 /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf. [Testing: issue412]
588 * Add "forensic" to the append line when using the forensic kerneloption
589 so we can grep for it in any case.
590 * 15-initsetup: keep a backup of the original runlevel.conf file.
591 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the idea! [Closes: issue570]

593 via /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/*.key
594 * isolinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg: Drop duplicated 'MENU DEFAULT'.
595 Thanks to Thomas Lehmann for the bugreport!
596 * Move /etc/grml/fai/apt/preferences to /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt/.
597 This simplifies the directory layout a bit. Clarify its usage
598 in /etc/grml/fai/apt/important_note.txt
599 * Install all files from /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt. This supports
600 usage of directories like /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. Thanks for the
601 hint to Thomas Lehmann. [Closes: issue632]
602 * Replace all "sed -i 's/././' foo" calls with
603 'sed -i 's/././' foo | sponge foo' instead inside main grml-live script
604 so we don't destroy any existing symlinks. Depend on moreutils therefor.
606 * Integrate bsd4grml [hash: 987ce9a6f9ce205ba64794ed3fcac603]. This
607 provides MirBSD as bootoption 'bsd' at grml's bootprompt. Thanks to
608 Thorsten "mirabilos" Glaser for his work! Add support for
609 configuring NO_ADDONS_BSD4GRML via configuration file.
610 * Add informational header to /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list and
611 update docs regarding the file.
612 * If specified SUITE is unstable use 'sid' instead (to avoid breakages

1353 * Re-enable problematic packages that have been fixed:
1354 - apt-listbugs (fixed via manual interaction in scripts)

1365 grml-live (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
1367 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
1368 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
1369 templates for building the ISO can be found.
1370 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
1371 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
1372 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
1373 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
1374 - disable pipeline workaround
1375 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
1376 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
1377 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
1378 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
1379 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
1380 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
1381 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
1382 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
1383 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
1384 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
1385 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
1386 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
1387 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
1388 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
1389 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.
1390 * Use iceweasel/firefox as x-www-browser and w3m as www-browser (if
1392 * Check for presence of the initrd.
1393 * Improve adjustment of suite for $FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP.

1400 * Support for setting GRML_NAME (like grml vs. grml-small
1402 * Drop the character limits of $VERSION and $RELEASENAME.
1403 * Make sure $SECONDS is set before outputting the runtime.
1404 * Unify usage of i386_files, place all template files in
1405 directory templates now.
1406 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1407 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1408 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1410 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1411 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1412 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1413 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1414 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
