grml-debootstrap (0.35) unstable; urgency=low

  * Do NOT execute 'umount -a' in chroot script for cleanup. This
    can cause problems with installations to directories.
    Thanks for the bugreport and debugging, Tong Sun.
    [Closes: issue806]
  * Replace vol_id command with blkid.

 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org>  Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:19:10 +0100

grml-debootstrap (0.34) unstable; urgency=low

  * Move the apt cache removal function to a later point of execution
    so custom scripts still have access to the Debian packages.
  * Display executed debootstrap cmdline when running it.
  * Slightly improve checks for grub-install/update-grub and do
    no set full path to the binaries.
  * Revert "Updated grml-debootstrap parameter handling" which
    breaks the way grml-debootstrap used to work. Instead:
  * Introduce option --nopackages to skip installation of packages
    defined in /etc/debootstrap/packages.
  * Support config variable RM_APTCACHE to allow disabling removal
    of apt-cache. Thanks for the idea and initial patch, Tong Sun.
    [Closes: issue805]

    the interactive menu.
  * Install to directory: normalise the path to an absolute directory
    name.
  * remove cached debs to reduce diskpace during bootstrap (based on
    patch by gebi, thanks).

  * Remove duplicate : in getopt definition. Caused wrong parameter
    handling.
  * Adjusted Filename comment in cmdlineopts.clp
  * Remove trailing whitespace from debian/rules
  * Switched order of including cmdlineopts.clp, first check local
    directory
  * Only set PARTITION=1 if target is a block device.
  * Apply patch by Tong Sun <suntong@cpan.org> which addresses
    grml-debootstrap's parameter handling. Thanks!

grml-debootstrap (0.29) unstable; urgency=low

  The "thanks to gebi for the bugreports and feedback" release. :)
  * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
    problems.
  * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
    so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.
  * Mention "default: lenny" instead of "default: stable" in help
    text as "stable" is invalid.
  * Use 'pri=0' as example for swap partition in /etc/fstab.
  * Do not adjust mydestination and myhostname in /etc/postfix/main.cf as
    mydestination defaults to "$myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost",
    myhostname defaults to gethostname() and mydomain to localdomain.
  * Slightly improve wording of -t and -p options.
  * Do not try to create /etc/debootstrap if it already exists (which
    might be the case when installing to a directory).
  * Mention hostname in configuration check dialog.
  * Apply patch by Zoran Dzelajlija which addresses the partition
    calculation problem when installing to /dev/cciss/c0d0*. Thanks!
  * Use ls for locating /dev/md* devices instead of echo so we don't
    have '/dev/md*' in the interactive partition dialog.
  * Do not display mountpoint if we are using the default one.
  * Avoid duplicate 'Running ... on a directory, nothing to mount.'
    message.
  * Do not continue execution if provided mirror doesn't work.
    [Closes: issue711]
  * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.2 (no further changes).

 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org>  Fri, 24 Jul 2009 09:47:47 +0200

grml-debootstrap (0.28) unstable; urgency=low

 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org>  Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:11:30 +0200

grml-debootstrap (0.27) unstable; urgency=low

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

 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org>  Fri, 08 May 2009 17:57:57 +0200

grml-debootstrap (0.26) unstable; urgency=low

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

 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org>  Tue, 17 Mar 2009 10:47:53 +0100

grml-debootstrap (0.25) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use configuration $RELEASE as well as default in interactive
    setup script.
  * Provide $MNTPOINT as environment variable for usage inside
    /etc/debootstrap/scripts/.

 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org>  Sat, 07 Mar 2009 14:37:46 +0100

grml-debootstrap (0.24) unstable; urgency=low

  * Update documentation.
  * Use configuration of $MIRROR, $HOSTNAME as defaults in
    interactive setup script.
  * Add initial support for Debian/squeeze and drop sarge instead.
  * Update VCS*-headers and long description of Debian package.
  * Move asciidoc, docbook-xsl, xsltproc to Build-Depends-Indep.
  * Drop $CHROOTMIRROR variable, instead use $MIRROR for debootstrap
    as well as inside the chroot.
  * Provide $MNTPOINT as environment variable for usage inside
    /etc/debootstrap/scripts/.

 -- Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org>  Sat, 07 Mar 2009 14:15:32 +0100

grml-debootstrap (0.23) unstable; urgency=low

  The "hey, rocking - we get patches via git" release.

  * Improve look'n'feel of partition error dialog.
  * Improve documentation regarding installation of bootloader when
    using directories as installation target. Thanks Tong Sun!
    [Closes: issue539]
  * Copy /etc/debootstrap/[s]bin as well to the chroot if they are
    present. Suggestion by Tong Sun - thanks! [Closes: issue540]
  * Apply several patches by Tong Sun (thanks!):
    - allow symlinks when coping existing files to chroot.
    - pre-seed packages using /etc/debootstrap/debconf-selections
      [Closes: issue518]
    - support DEBOOTSTRAP_OPT for passing extra parameters to the
      debootstrap command
    - support KEEP_SRC_LIST to allow user to provide their
      own apt sources.list from /etc/debootstrap/etc/apt/sources.list
    - provide cmdline processing in separate script
    - added the '-d, --confdir=path' option
    - added "--nodebootstrap": Skip debootstrap, only do configuration
      to the target
    - add -v, --verbose: Increase verbosity
    - do not create stage file at finalize()
  * Edit /etc/network/interfaces as well if the file exists already,
    we definitely need at least a loopback interface.
  * Adjust postfix configuration:
    - modify hostname related options in /etc/postfix/main.cf
    - listen on loopback interface by default (thanks for suggestion, gebi)
  * Unify the --bootappend option, it's not --boot_append (thanks for
    the hint, Tong Sun).
  * Support execution of further scripts via options --scripts and
    --chroot-scripts.
  * Drop locales from RECONFIGURE list (thanks for hint, Tong Sun).

  The "development sponsored by Sipwise GmbH" release.

  * Provide interactive configuration dialog.

    the possibility to run multiple instance of grml-debootstrap.
    [Closes: issue510]

    gebi).
