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

242 * Introduce support for squashfs-lzma-tools 4.0-1 and support
243 configuration variable SQUASHFS_BINARY.
244 * Modify update-initramfs call in grml-live script as the
245 'update-initramfs -u -t' might fail with linux images which have been
246 build using kernel-package.
247 * templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg: add space char at end of lines in entries
248 that are meant for manual editing (so user just has to press <tab>
250 * Add 'pci=nomsi' to failsafe bootoption (thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt).
251 * Fix grml2usb bootoption in templates/boot/isolinux/grml.cfg.
252 * Display "Finished execution of stage 'WINDOWS_BINARIES'" only if the
253 according code has been executed (and do not display if skipping).

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

323 - Add aesfix, aeskeyfind, bios-memimage, chaosreader, ext3grep, fatback,
324 myrescue, pipebench, safecopy, shed and xmount to GRML_FORENSIC. The
325 packages are either already available or should be available soon.
326 - Add scsitools to GRML_MEDIUM.
327 - Drop bar from GRML_FULL (no release since 2007, consider using
328 for example cpipe instead).
329 - Drop grml-saveconfig as it is replaced with recent versions
331 - Drop hydra from GRML_FULL (the license is not a clean GPL one).
332 - Drop icedax from GRML_FULL (we have schilyutils available).
335 * Update MirOS bsd4grml to 20090812 and sync menu.lst, grub.cfg,
336 isolinux.cfg, syslinux.cfg with each other; provide a fallback
337 way to boot MirOS bsd4grml from both GRUB versions using modules.

353 - Drop gdk-imlib11 (see #522810).

356 nowadays, see #533275).
357 - Drop libpam-pwgen (see #511613).

359 to be that important for grml).
360 - Drop windowlab (see #410618).

362 * Add check for valid Debian suite name to avoid breakage of sources.list

370 - use timestamp with hour, minute and second to match with FAI style
371 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/updatebase.GRMLBASE: install apt configuration
372 also when updating the chroot (this happens if we have a base.tgz available
373 on fresh installations).
374 * Document usage of STOP_ON_ERROR in /etc/grml/fai/fai.conf.
375 * Really add support for genisoimage (thanks for the bugreport, Worf).
376 * Set subdirectories of $OUTPUT independent of cmdline parsing so
377 it is possible to set it via conffile as well.
378 * Validate whether the specified architecture class matches the
379 architecture (option), otherwise installation of kernel will fail.
380 * Add 'How do I deploy grml-live on a plain Debian installation' to FAQ.
381 * Build grml-live documentation with table of content.

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

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

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

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

1323 to fix issues from Debian for grml-live builds. It is automatically
1324 activated if you are building against unstable/sid and should
1325 be used manually only if you realy know what you are doing.

1382 * Update /etc/grml/fai/make-fai-nfsroot.conf
1383 * Use /var/log/fai/dirinstall/${HOSTNAME}/grml-live.log as logfile
1384 for grml-live instead of /var/log/grml-live.log so it's easier
1386 * Update of buildd scripts: main configuration file main.sh
1387 which provides all the build stuff inside separate functions.
1388 * Fall back to blackhole.pca.dfn.de as keyserver if retreiving
1389 from subkeys.pgp.net fails.
1390 * Improve check for kernel version inside
1391 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/10-build-initramfs

1403 - grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_etch.sh
1404 - grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_sid.sh
1405 - grml-live_autobuild_grml64-small_etch.sh
1406 - grml-live_autobuild_grml64-small_sid.sh
1407 * Some more FAI error checking.
1408 * Updated buildd scripts (better subject handling).
1409 * Re-enable 'Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth' workaround'.
1410 Restore usual Debian behaviour at the end using
1411 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/99-finish-grml-build
1412 * Add new scripts for retreiving bugs via apt-listbugs
1413 and storing package selection inside log directory.
1414 This has been integrated in a new class named "RELEASE".
1415 * Added support for new kernel version 2.6.23-grml to
1417 * Use uxterm as x-terminal-emulator and fall back to xterm
1418 only it uxterm is not available.
1419 * Support /etc/locale.gen.grml - it's used by default in
1420 class GRML_FULL and a new class named LOCALES.
1421 * Work around #443481 (bug inside snort) for Debian etch
1422 via using /etc/snort/snort.common.parameters (thanks for
1423 the idea, Thomas Lange!)
1424 * Do not exit with an error code if /usr/include/linux is NOT
1425 a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include/linux but keep it as
1427 * Log executed grml-live command.
1428 * Re-enable problematic packages that have been fixed:
1429 - apt-listbugs (fixed via manual interaction in scripts)
1430 - gsm-utils (#353967)
1432 - wvdial (fixed via debconf)

1442 * The -t option for specifying the output directory has been
1443 renamed into -o. The option -t now specifies the place where
1444 templates for building the ISO can be found.
1445 * Option -t can be used for specifying the template directory.
1446 TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY can be used in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
1447 * Check for /var/run/fai/FAI_INSTALLATION_IN_PROGRESS and exit then.
1448 * /etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/instsoft.GRMLBASE:
1449 - disable pipeline workaround
1450 - create /dev/MAKEDEV in chroot to work around the
1451 "./MAKEDEV: No such file or directory" problem of some packages
1452 * Use /var/log/grml-live.log as log file as /var/log/fai/* is too
1453 dangerous because of automatic removal of the files/dirs via fai.
1454 * Use class GRML_MEDIUM by default and document GRMLBASE, GRML_* plus
1455 I386/AMD64 classes in the docs.
1456 * Add new packages to GRML_FULL:
1457 - tgt: Linux target framework user-space tools
1458 - paperkey: extract just the secret information out ouf OpenPGP keys
1459 - gitpkg: helper scripts for maintaining packages with git
1460 - iscsitarget: iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools
1461 - iscsitarget-module-2.6.22-grml: kernel module for iscsitarget
1462 * Set $HOSTNAME to according hostname via
1463 /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/34-hosts
1464 * Adjust filename in header of /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GRMLBASE/*.

1480 directory templates now.
1481 * Improve portability of linux headers cleanup inside
1482 grml_cleanup_chroot.
1483 * Provide class GRML_SMALL and rename old GRML_SMALL into
1485 * Do not install kernel via GRMLBASE but via GRML_* classes
1486 instead so we have only one single kernel on the system
1487 with something like 'GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,REMOVE_DOCS,I386'.
1488 * Use grml-live.log as logfile.
1489 * Added vim to GRML_MEDIUM package list.
