grml-debootstrap (0.29) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs problems (thanks, gebi). -- Michael Prokop Wed, 08 Jul 2009 01:20:00 +0200 grml-debootstrap (0.28) unstable; urgency=low * Work around the chpasswd problem. [Closes: issue692] Thanks to Ulrich Dangel for the patch! -- Michael Prokop 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 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 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 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 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).

Thanks for reporting, Tong. -- Michael Prokop Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:19:05 +0200 grml-debootstrap (0.20) unstable; urgency=low * Use root=UUID=... by default if possible to avoid possible race conditions with libata vs. pata. * Fix setting hostname via interface. * Provide interface in dialog for setting root password. -- Michael Prokop Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:02:43 +0200 grml-debootstrap (0.19) unstable; urgency=low * Use dialog with --separate-output option to make sure mdadm receives correct quoting for the RAID devices. -- Michael Prokop Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:36:12 +0200 grml-debootstrap (0.18) unstable; urgency=low The "development sponsored by Sipwise GmbH" release. * Provide interactive configuration dialog. * Initial support for SW-RAID. * Use stages based on target information, this gives us the possibility to run multiple instance of grml-debootstrap. [Closes: issue510] * Use policy-rc.d inside chroot to avoid startup of daemons. [Closes: issue509] * Do not activate /sys by default anymore in /etc/fstab. * Copy /etc/network/interfaces from running system to target installation. * Setting password via passwd does not work, use chpaswd instead. * Remove stages after successful execution. [Closes: issue513] * Make sure the configuration file inside the chroot provides the same configuration as specified on the cmdline (thanks gebi for reporting). * Copy system's /etc/hosts to the target system. * Move stages to /var/cache/grml-debootstrap (thanks for the idea, gebi). * Install devices using our own device tarball instead of running MAKEDEV (which is just an ungly fork bomb). * Install MTA postfix by default to avoid installation of unwanted packages like citadel in lenny. * Allow use of comments in file /etc/debootstrap/packages. * Replace initrd-tools with initramfs-tools. * Run aptitude with --without-recommends option. * Run grub-install using --no-floppy, as requested by gebi. * Support setting hostname via cmdline. * Close issue in grml's BTS which showed up during development in hg: Fix handling of config file inside chroot, thanks for spotting, gebi!

(Thanks, formorer!) * Added additional check to grub code for running sed on /boot/grub/menu.lst. * Updated TODO file. * Use asciidoc for manpage generation. * Added basic zsh-completion (thanks, ft!), but do not install it yet.

Depend on debootstrap/cdebootstrap versions supporting lenny therefore. * Split all the code into separate functions. * Export LANG=C and LC_ALL=C as we don't have the locales inside the chroot when running grml-debootstrap. (Just a cosmetic change as there aren't any errors but warning messages from dpkg.) * Always assume architecture of the running system (overwriting via $ARCH is still supported of course). * Write variables from grml-debootstrap to /etc/debootstrap/variables and provide it to chroot-script. * Support stages.
