1 grml-debootstrap (0.29) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 The "thanks to gebi for the bugreports and feedback" release. :)
4 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
6 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
7 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.
8 * Mention "default: lenny" instead of "default: stable" in help
9 text as "stable" is invalid.
10 * Use 'pri=0' as example for swap partition in /etc/fstab.
11 * Do not adjust mydestination and myhostname in /etc/postfix/main.cf as
12 mydestination defaults to "$myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost",
13 myhostname defaults to gethostname() and mydomain to localdomain.
14 * Slightly improve wording of -t and -p options.
15 * Do not try to create /etc/debootstrap if it already exists (which
16 might be the case when installing to a directory).
17 * Mention hostname in configuration check dialog.
18 * Apply patch by Zoran Dzelajlija which addresses the partition
19 calculation problem when installing to /dev/cciss/c0d0*. Thanks!

33 - support setting Debian suite components (like main, contrib,...)
34 through COMPONENTS so it's possible to use a simple 'main' mirror.
35 - support setting aptitude/apt-get options through $DPKG_OPTIONS.
36 - support selection of netinstall vs. local mirror in interactive menu
38 - make sure to ignore /dev/md* devices if not using SW-RAID
39 - do not fail in chrootmirror() when using $ISO variable.
40 - change order of checkconfiguration() so we get the prompt/
41 display for checking configuration again.
42 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
43 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
45 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
46 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
47 - chroot-script: put installation of kernel before installing additional
48 packages so installation of kernel doesn't fail if the kernel directory
51 - bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).

58 * Add /dev/md* to partition list. If /dev/md* is already
59 configured we don't want to re-run the SW-RAID setup
60 but instead just install on /dev/md*.

90 The "hey, rocking - we get patches via git" release.
92 * Improve look'n'feel of partition error dialog.

157 The "development sponsored by Sipwise GmbH" release.

177 * Install devices using our own device tarball instead of running
