  * Adam Di Carlo
    - we now build against Woody

      THIS IS A SERIOUS CHANGE but required for Woody release.
      If packages from unstable are needed, you will need to copy those to
      localdir as configured in `config'

    - sparc uses libc 2.2.5 now
    - sparc/sun4u kernel uses 2.4.18 (thanks BenC)
    - sparc doesn't have sun4dm-pci anymore, no one needs it (thanks BenC)
    - EXTRACT-i18n was pulling in for all arches cfdisk-utf8, which would
      break sparc build

      to the current architecture, making it safe to share the download dir
      for multiple arch builds if desired
  * Giuseppe Sacco

boot-floppies (3.0.18) unstable; urgency=high
  
  * we are still building against unstable since there some things there
    that we need and the build doesn't seem to work too well using
    packages from woody

  * this version introduces i18n for the following architectures:
      arm
      i386 (for the flavors compact, idepci, reiserfs and udma100-ext3,
            which have kernel framebuffer support)
      powerpc

    Since we can't include all the languages we support, we had to define
    a smaller list of supported languages by default:
       en pt de pl fr es ja sv it hu
    Folks building their own sets can change this list in the top-level
    'config' file; our choices here were based on the linux users per
    country data at http://counter.li.org/reports/short.php?orderby=users#table
    closes: #80942

  * updates to kernels we use:
      alpha uses 2.2.20 kernel images
      sparc moved to 2.2.20; sun4u moved to 2.4.16
      i386 moved to 2.2.20
      (powerpc still at 2.2.19 because pcmcia-modules-2.2.20-pmac not available)
      mipsel moved to 2.4.16

      closes: #84388
    - Norwegian language chooser stuff from Ole Aamot
    - wait longer after unloading pcmcmia, which helps when 
      configuring it the 2nd time around; closes: #84363
    - build issue: rootdisk lingua dependancy works correctly; other i18n
      build problems fixed
    - i18n: when LANG_CHOOSER is on, enable it by default in rootdisk
      rather than disabling it by default; on i386, only turn it off if
      the flavor isn't compact, idepci, or udma66-ext3
    - bump debootstrap requirement to 0.1.15.7
    - sparc: fix a rather crippling build error; sparc build is

    - dbootstrap: some improved error handling

      were made to partition type support, also to trim some more bytes:
           mips and mipsel doesn't support MSDOS partitions
           Sun partitions only supported by sparc
           Amiga, Atari, Mac, and Acord partitions only support by 
             m68k or powerpc
           only support SGI partitions if MSDOS partitions are not
             enabled
       Hopefully this doesn't mess to many people up, and 
       closes: #99185, #115377

    - bump RiscPC root disks to 4200 blocks, and netwinder to 4000, 
      so modules and i18n support will fit
    - include adfs.o and floppy.o on arm root disks; actually try to
      load the SCSI modules added back in 3.0.8
    - detect revision J/K SA-110 chips; if found, advise the user
      that trouble may lie ahead
    - try to stop `images-2.88' popping up in the arm files list
    - arm 2.4.5 kernel doesn't seem too stable; drop back to 2.2.19
      for netwinder and riscpc (shark is only supported in 2.4)
    - try to make arm builds work with USE_LANGUAGE_CHOOSER
  * Eduard Bloch:
    - reformated German boot message to fit on 80x25
    - German translation updates
    - started building udma100-ext3 flavor on i386, ext3 autodetection
    - user query about ReiserFS v2, fs selection fixes
    - updated copyright year in the f10.txt files; closes: #110710
    - integrated testing parted option on i386_udma-100 flavor.
  * Christian T. Steigies
    - m68k: add arch specific posttask to make amiboot and dmesg executable
  * Ethan Benson
    - Make build fail if rootimage is larger then the floppy image.
    - Redesign filesystem creation/mounting to cleanly, and dynamically
      support multiple filesystems, redo the ext3/reiserfs code.
      Now dbootstrap will offer a menubox list of supported filesystems.
      A filesystem is offered as a choice when both a) the running kernel
      supports it, and b) there is a mkfs for that filesystem.  If only Ext2
      is supported the behavior is exactly as its always been.
    - Add is_filesystem_supported() function to util.c.
    - Add XFS filesystem support.
    - Fix partition mounting so it works properly again.
    - Remove bogus and non-existent reiserfs partition type, reiserfs is
      not, and should not get its own partition type, it should use the
      "Linux Native" partition types that already exist on most/all
      architectures.  The redesigned mounting code does this.
    - Redo fstab generation to work properly with multiple filesystems.
    - Moved is_fstype() function out of baseconfig.c and into util.c.  Its
      useful elsewhere (now also used in bootconfig.c).
    - Quik setup aborts if root partition is not ext2.
    - Eliminate ioctl messages that were spewed all over the screen
      during kernel installation.  (perror() -> ERRMSG() don't use
      perror() in boot-floppies!)
    - Check for parted correctly.
    - Remove ddisk and cfdisk from pmac root floppy, we don't need them and 
      there is not sufficient space.  
  * Richard Hirst
    - redirect info output from downloadpkg() to stderr, so offline_mode=true
      works again
    - ia64 now uses kernel 2.4.9 and libc 2.2.4
    - hppa now uses kernel 2.4.9
    - ia64 now uses compressed kernels
    - hppa: move vmlinux symlink in to /boot for palo
    - ia64 and hppa: add a kernel-choice section to docs
    - ia64 now uses mckinley-smp kernel
    - ia64: add efi/boot/bootia64.efi to rescue.bin
    - hppa: add warning about 2GB limit for /boot to PALO screen.
  * Adam Di Carlo:
    - only include reiserprogs stuff on the reiserfs flavor; this may help
      with the 1.2MB images
    - fix minor SGML build issues
    - integrate and rework patch from Samy PERSEHAIE, now you can set
      KBD in config when you build, and that still will be suppressed
      during installation; obviously, that is turned off by default
    - also from Samy PERSEHAIE, French listed as a Latin-1 language
    - similarly, Rdiger Kuhlmann pointed out German should be there too; 
      I'm sure there are many more, I wish someone would just do a full
      pass over that...; closes: #112569
    - synchronize, for all architectures, the keymaps we ship and the
      keymaps used by dbootstrap; closes: #84388, #109925
  * Chris Tillman
    - numerous documentation fixes and updates
  * Marcin Owsiany

      <goswin.brederlow@student.uni-tuebingen.de>).
    - Fix Ruffian MILO disk.
  * Eduard Bloch:
    - for arches != powerpc or sparc, allow not just msdos floppies, but also
      vfat, fat, or minix.  Note that this does not imply that the kernels
      we build with support these, however
    - dbootstrap: when making a reiserfs partition (for booting), help the
      user by making sure the partition is big enough
    - rescue.sh: changed to set the flavor in boot message and install.sh,
      so System.map gets the right filename.
  * David Kimdon
    update German translation, patch from Eduard Bloch <blade@debian.org>
  * Adam Di Carlo
    - fix some build problems, especially affecting USE_LANG_CHOOSER
      (which still isn't quite working yet)

    - 'make cleanarchive' cleans the download directory only
    - sparc, powerpc, mips, mipsel build with libc 2.2.4
  * Gerhard Tonn
    - s390 changes; boot floppies should build now on s390.
  * Ethan Benson
    - PowerMac uses linux (read i386) keycodes now, use i386 keymaps.
      This still needs a fixed -pmac kernel, but console-data in woody
      requires that anyway.
    - Fix formatting error in debian/changelog that was
      b0rking builds.

    Alpha changes:
    - Automatically download milo binaries and some more tools via wget.

    - implement progress bar on retrieving packages
  * Adam Di Carlo:
    - debootstrap: more syslogging
    - rework the build scripts to use debootstrap as the downloader
      rather than apt-get; fixes fragility building root filesystem in
      particular, which would often be non-consistent as far as apt was
      concerned
    - debian/control: building requires debootstrap now

boot-floppies (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Falk Hueffner
    - New library reducing script mklibs.py, using different algorithm
      that is likelier not to add unneeded symbols. Activated by default
      for Alpha, since mklibs.sh doesn't make them small enough;
      we may move all arches to this in next release
    - Don't copy sys_map and kernel config to rescue floppy on Alpha since
      aboot doesn't fit otherwise.

      this way we don't end up getting the binaries from the extract area
      and the non-pic libs from /lib and /usr/lib (instead of the extract area).  
    - Add support for installing base via a pile o' floppies (not tested yet).
    - Set TMPDIR=/target/tmp in ybinwrapper, avoids failures since ramdisk
      root filesystem is small.
    - Add yaboot binary to $release/powermac so users don't have to go find one.
    - Change rootdisk permission fixup to not touch device file permissions, 
      that way loop mounting a root.bin does not create a security hole.
    - Fix floppy_split to properly pad the last floppy with nulls.
    - Change `Install Operating System Kernel and Modules' to
      `Install Kernel and Driver Modules' so aj won't be confused.
    - Add patch from Colin Walters to support basedebs.tgz.
    - Ignore .resource and .finderinfo when building lists of valid directories
      (HFS cruft). 
    - Make problem_report create a .fdisk-dump file for each disk, contents is
      the output of fdisk -l <disk>.

      block scan wording so it's not a double-negative -- it asks if you
      want to perform the bad block scan, but defaults to "no"
    - get the doc-web target going
    - debian/control: update boot-floppies package description;
      build-depends/depend on libnewt-pic
    - debian/copyright: some updates, strip out busybox notice
    - include README-CVS in the boot-floppies doc-dir (it's also in the
      shipped tarball)
  * Richard Hirst:
    - hppa porting and documentition updates; should now produce working
      images 
    - added vt102 termtype, as that is what busybox init sets for serial
      consoles (stops cfdisk failing with S-Lang: Unknown error)
    - improved dialog text when cfdisk offers to wipe your partition
      table, and made it default to No
    - hppa, rename subarchs to '32' and '64', don't tell palo the term
      type as it now works it out for itself, don't use modules in root.bin
      so 32 and 64 bit kernels can share it
  * Matt Kraai:
    - show the output of /etc/profile only if we are truly an interactive
      shell (not on tty1)
    - include /etc/apm and /etc/apm/event.d in pcmcia.tgz to ensure that
      there permissions are those in the deb
  * David Whedon:
    - library reduction improvements
    - take 3rd party modules question out of the mainline, now user needs
      to specifically choose it.  This question confused people.
  * Josip Rodin:
    - improvements to documentation/doc-check
    - start a bit on woody release notes
  * Stephen R Marenka
    - PowerPC: fixes for Quik
    - Moved write_userconfig code for proxy to nf_select_server so that
      it always gets called.
  * Ethan Benson:
    - Add comment to generated quik.conf mentioning quik's non-support of
      symlinks.
    - Remove workaround for Bug#54265 now that its fixed.
    - Fix bogosity in copyFile resulting in dbootstrap's umask being set to 0
    - Fix totally broken fdisk symlink fixing for PowerMac.
    - Fix driversdisk.sh and rescue.sh not to create world writable files.
    - Fix permissions on installed kernel so it isn't executable if the rescue
      floppy is FAT.
    - Make sure /target/tmp is created 1777 (base-files fixes it anyway)
    - Set sane (022) umask in dbootstrap.
    - Don't try and eject root floppy on NewWorld PowerMacs (which never
      have floppy drives)
    - Add woody.debs from debootstrap to rootdisk.
  * Christian T. Steigies:
    - m68k cleanup
    - rootfiles: replace READ-pl.txt by READ-??.txt to catch also READ-gl.txt
    - build [amiga|atari|mac]install.tgz in bf-archive-install.sh 
    - use "the right way" to extract m68k-tftp-lilo
    - do not build HFS image for mac and delete it immediatly. I left the code
      in, in case this is needed at some time, but I could not make $ROOTCMD
      work

boot-floppies (2.3.5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * The "Be Kind to Porters" release, mostly work on the non-i386 ports
  * Marcin Owsiany:
    - making sure that i18n code is included, moving over to stuff moved from
      CVS to their own packages
  * Adam Di Carlo
    - the logic to build a modules tarball for given root disk was a
      little messed up on non-i386, partly due to some schizophrenia in
      either rootdisk.sh or make/root issue; worked around
    - for sparc building, we use a single sun4cmd root.bin, because it
      doesn't matter which kernel we use and using none is not an option;
      better handling of generic rootdisk for all arches; only SPARC right
      now bothers to share a rootdisk for the different subarches, but I'm
      pretty sure other subarches which don't have kernel modules in their
      root filesystems should also set the 'generic_rootdisk' var in
      'make/root'
    - remove the powerpc empty images-1.44 directory
    - other build fixes and cleanups
    - README (for developers): some updates
    - README (for users): rewrite the "Quick Install Instructions" part
    - debian/control: add dosfstools for powerpc, alpha, m68k; 
      add linuxdoc-tools, snarf for powerpc (stuff in powerpc-specials);
      sync build-depends and depends
    - dynamically deal with READ-*.txt (internationalized top-level
      README); before, we weren't shipping the Galician one
  * Ethan Benson
    - todo: update status regarding PowerMac booting plans
    - bootprep.sh, milodisk.sh, nfsroot.sh, package-m68k.sh, release.sh, 
      rescue.sh, tftpboot.sh: use /bin/bash as we should be
    - remove hfsutils and yaboot/ybin/mkofboot from the PowerPC root disk;
      these can be run from /target after base is installed, and frankly,
      we have no choice because we need the space
    - ybinwrapper added to root disk, sets up the environment for calling
      ybin from the new base system; add some symlinking into the target
      system as required by yaboot
    - Rewrite yaboot installation
    - vmlinu[xz] symlink fixage when /boot is a partition (run_yaboot/run_silo)
    - create /target/etc/kernel-img.conf when /boot is a partition so 
      kernel-images will create symlinks that work with yaboot (run_yaboot)
    - More PowerMac partition checks/warning fixes, make sure they get 
      displayed at the right times
    - Reworded PowerMac partition warning/info dialogs
    - Prevent non-ext2 /boot on PowerMac
    - Update Readme.yaboot
    - Update install-pmac.en.sgml with current info on NewWorlds    
    - Remove obsolete instructions about manually running mkofboot on
      NewWorld macs from documentation/en/dbootstrap.sgml.  Instead tell
      user to run Make System Bootable and reference yaboot.conf man page.
    - Add execlog_to_string function written by Colin Walters which stores
      a program's stdout in a variable, and sends its stderr to syslog, it
      also returns the program's exit code.
    - Reorg run_plilo_quik(), use execlog_to_string to run ofpath, cleanup/rewrite.
  * Stephen R. Marenka
    - Various and sundry updates to yaboot and quik boot configuration 
      and partition checking.
    - Removed dbootstrap/powermac.c cruft.
    - Added CHRP yaboot partition checking and boot configuration
    - Added blank /var/log/messages file to rootdisk prototype 
      (fixes occassional file or directory not found error on tty3).
    - Changed default ext2 formatting to use 2.2.x features, except on ARM.
    - Added boot-command to quik OldWorld boot configuration.
    - Removed Configure Base references from English documentation.
  * Phil Blundell
    - fix handling of RiscPC keymaps
    - include ne2k-pci driver (and 8390, duh) on ARM systems
    - correct arm specifics in release.sh
    - use `Image' as kernel for netwinder
    - arm is using libc-2.2.3
    - netwinder kernel is too big for 1.44 rescue image; use 2.88
  * Henning Heinold
    - start the mipsel port
    - kernelversion for mips now 2.4.3
    - mips is using libc-2.2.3
  * David Whedon
    - Danish translation update from Claus Hindsgaul <claus_h@image.dk>
    - add the ability to generate a problem report on floppy or harddisk
    - fixes the spurious error message if dbootstrap tried to guess a 
       directory before prompting the user, clean up choose_medium.c.
    - add vexeclog, stdarg version of execlog
    - remove more base.tgz cruft
    - 'Execute a Shell' talks about nano-tiny rather than ae
    - fix ugly hack in boxes.c
    - set default answer on extract_base questions properly
    - include debootstrap support for installing sid as well
    - remove time zone configuration (base-config should do that)
    - 'Configure Base System' step is now executed right after base
       is installed without asking.
  * Joey Hess
    - base-config 1.0 support
  * Richard Hirst and Christian Steigies
    - release.sh, rescue.sh: fix building on m68k
    - config: kernelversion for m68k: 2.2.19

boot-floppies (2.3.4) unstable; urgency=high

  * Ben Collins:
    - Remove silo_proto.sh
    - Remove all silo1440k*.gz stuff. The images are now included with the
      silo package. We now use that to create the rescue images. Also, do
      not install them on root.bin. This gets root.bin below the 1440 mark
      again
    - dbootstrap: Use the installed silo1440 images for creating a boot
      floppy during install
    - dbootstrap: For netfetch kernel/modules, make sure we continue and
      run the module directory stuff (was being ignored before).
      Otherwise, the modconf stuff fails.
  * Matt Kraai:
    - Ensure that modules.tgz is built before the rootdisk so that modules
      can be extracted from it, closes: #98439
    - Fix BSD disklabel partition numbering in 2.2 kernels (again)
    - Add auto stanzas for configured interfaces to /etc/network/interfaces
  * Stephen R. Marenka:
    - Auto-eject PowerMac root floppy
    - Detect PowerMac generation (OldWorld/NewWorld)
    - Add Apple_Bootstrap support to libfdisk
    - Add quik and yaboot partition notes and checks
  * Richard Hirst:
    - Ensure that correct modules%.tgz is built before the rootdisk
  * Marcin Owsiany: fixed a typo in Polish docs (thanks to Micha Matysiak)
  * David Whedon:
    - ignore 'localtime' when generating list of timezones
    - don't flood the console if no /dev/tty4 (closes: #98629)
  * Daniel Jacobowitz:
    - use BOGL from the archive instead of from our local tree
  * Adam Di Carlo:
    - document for builder that you need to be running woody to build the
      boot-floppies (although we build it using sid downloaded packages,
      at least until base is frozen)
    - minor build fixes
    - update libc6 for powerpc to 2.2.3
    - debian/control: i386 depends on zlib-bin

boot-floppies (2.3.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Ben Collins:
    - Fix sun4u images so they fit on a 1440k floppy. This meant removing
      sys_map.gz and config.gz from the image. Oh well...
    - Fix rootdisk.sh, there were duplicate libnewt libs on the root.bin
    - Fix symlink for /bin/edit to point to nano-tiny, and not ae
  * 2.3.2 source upload was kinda funky and had the CVS subdirs in
    there; this one fixes that, is proper cvs-buildpackage build

  * Paul J.Y. Lahaie: HPPA porting
  * Matt Kraai
    - fix description of lilo install location, closes: #75106
    - documentation fixes, closes: #90204
  * Adam Di Carlo
    - debian/control: remove redundant suggests on python-xml; add
      recommends for 'sudo', which can be set in 'config' as cmd to
      achieve root
    - i386 uses 2.2.19 kernel
    - rootdisk: i386, m68k, and sparc are on libc6 2.2.3
  * Stephen R. Marenka:
    - enable user to set APT_PREFS in case they need a local apt
      preferences file
    - some fixes for folks building from Linux 2.4.x
    - disable mac/mac-de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz on PowerPC until
      console-data is fixed
    - documentation build problem fixed, closes: #96793
    - added ppc driver disks to dbootstrap
    - fixed release.sh powermac bf-common build problem (has no *.tgz)
    - added dhcp-client (dhclient) support (if dhclient is missing then
      try to use pump). This patch kills support for 2.0.x kernels, 
      although support isn't hard to add, it just uses disk space.
  * James Deikun
    - use libc version 2.2.2 for powerpc
    - powerpc: fix bootprep.sh and how it's invoked; deal with some apus
      oddities
    - rescue.sh: switch on $subarch, not $system for powerpc
    - rootdisk.sh: added 'charset=latin1' (HACK--where should this come
      from?)
  * David Whedon
    - talk about nano-tiny rather than nano in lazybox, closes: #94208
    - work on dbootstrap/debootstrap interaction (base installation)
    - Galician translation contributed by Jacobo Tarrio
      <jtarrio@trasno.net>, closes #95851
    - Danish translation contributed by Claus Hindsgaul <claus_h@image.dk>
    - dbootstrap: hacks removed, since modutils has been fixed
    - correct lilo invokation for woody version
    - dbootstrap: touch /target/sbin/unconfigured.sh so that we are
      prompted to configure the base system
    - README-Users: updates and corrections, thanks to 
      Walter Tautz <wtautz@math.uwaterloo.ca>
  * John Robinson
    - preliminary dbootstrap support of ReiserFS
  * Andreas Mueller
    - preliminary MIPs porting
    - support for Latin5 fonts

  * Peter Karlsson: Swedish dbootstrap updates
  * Erik Andersen: inittab fixes for new busybox
  * Eric Van Buggenhaut: French updates

    - organzation and coordination for woody i18n
  * John Robinson
    - more work on support for ReiserFS; requires a -reiserfs kernel flavor
  * Ben Collins
    - Get sun4u working with 2.4.4 images. Mostly involved the rescue
      image being 2880k. UltraSPARC's don't have a 2880k floppy, but
      that's ok because most UltraSPARC's can't boot from floppy anyway. I
      expect most will netboot or cd boot. So in those cases, the rescue
      image will be available from the network or from CD
    - Fixup release target for sparc
    - Fixup tilo command line for new version of tilo
    - Add "USB" to the sparc i386/us keyboard comment

boot-floppies (2.3.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Adam Di Carlo:
    - README-Overview: updates, talk about debian-installer vis a vis
      boot-floppies
    - merge changes from potato branch (v 2.2.22 changes, basically)
    - what used to be called the udma66 flavor is now ide -- fix several
      old instances, preventing proper build in i386
    - we don't build base anymore, remove it from README-Users*.m4
    - dbootstrap: don't write fstab nor pcmcia configuration files with
      translated messages; we don't want the files to have utf8 charset
      closes: #79734
      likewise, don't set LANG in /etc/environment -- according to people
      who seem to know, setting LANG globally would be evil anyhow.
      If there's any special post-installation steps people want to be
      taken after installation, they'll have to file bugs on base-config
      to pull this out of the dbootstrap_settings file
    - fixes for debootstrap, but the debian-cd package will be have to be
      fixed (see todo)
    - syslog working again on the rescue disks
  * Phil Blundell:
    - improvements in build process
    - ARM porting work
  * Josip Rodin:

  * John Robinson:
    - root.bin: new nano-tiny has changes location
  * Matt Kraai
    - during network installation, force the re-loading of resolv.conf
      closes: #85397
    - dbootstrap reads the symlink setup by the install.sh of the rescue
      disk when manipulating the kernel symbolic link.  This should
      capture the subarch correctly.
      closes: #82482

boot-floppies (2.3.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  * first version for woody

    - this is completely and utterly untested; it is reported to build on
      i386 and sparc; I'm sure it *doesn't* build on other arches yet

    - the purpose of this release is to get wider distribution, and get a
      version in woody that at least satisfies dependancies

    Please help!  Read README-CVS to get a version from CVS; use README to
    get started so you can build; start picking off stuff from 'todo'.
    We are *not* ready for testers yet.

  * Adam Di Carlo
    - debian/control: remove obsolete cslatex, cspsfonts stuff; remove
      some obsolete build-depends (closes: Bug#77048); add depends on

      build-depends and depends; add depends on busybox and
      build-essential; remove depends for console-data
    - Makefile: break up into files in make/*
    - remove rsync mirroring stuff; we get packages as needed apt-get
    - stop building or providing base, use debootstrap instead
      (closes: Bug#75018, Bug#64565)
    - root: use nano-tiny rather than ae as our editor; add net-tools and
      busybox packages

      . remove lazybox for free and lsmod
      . remove sed package (/bin/sed) completely
      . remove shellutils (/bin/expr) completely 
      . add a blank /etc/ld.so.conf
    - dbootstrap: improve messages when network devices not found
      and the user is asked to configure the hostname
  * Randolph Chung: 
    - rework the dbootstrap makefile
    - some preliminary ia64 work
  * David Whedon
    - 'udma66' flavor is now called 'ide' flavor, docs and code updated
    - use debootstrap to download base system rather that baseX_X.tgz
    - fix handling of nameservers during install (closes: Bug#67510)
    - network installation will optionally ask you whether you wish to
      install woody, potato, or slink (defaulting to woody of course)
  * Guido Guenther:
    - SGI partition label support for MIPs
  * Ben Collins:
    - library reduction updates, now works on PowerPC
  * Taketoshi Sano: working on i18n support, adding a new utility,
    'shrink_strings' to shrink strings correctly because euc-jp encoded
    strings need special treating at line breaking to work with slang and
    newt libraries
  * Matt Kraai

    - alpha: Use kernel 2.2.18pre21.

 -- Herbert Xu <herbert@debian.org>  Sat, 25 Nov 2000 15:14:45 +1100

boot-floppies (2.2.19) stable; urgency=low

  * PowerPC fixes:
    - Update kernel version to 2.2.18pre21
    - Fix the miBoot command line options not to try to force atyfb
      (should fix color issues on some mach64 cards)
    - Create /dev/nvram on the root disk
    - Add nvsetenv and ofpath, as well as fixing the paths for yaboot
    - No longer include System.map on the HFS (powermac) boot floppy
      (there isn't enough room with the new kernels)
    - en/dbootstrap.sgml updates from Ethan Benson to match the new ybin
    - Bail out earlier in the boot floppy creation process if we can't do
      it on this architecture
    - Make CHRP rescue.bin be DOS formatted.  Perhaps the same thing
      needs done to PReP - can PReP even boot FAT images?
    - Populate /dev/input in the base tarball - adbmouse and friends no
      longer work with the new kernels.
  * Build with packages from proposed-updates:
    - ncurses 5.0-6.0potato1
    - modutils 2.3.11-13.1
    - dpkg 1.6.15.2 (sparc only)
    - kernel 2.2.18pre21 / pcmcia 3.1.22-0.1* (all relevant flavors)

    - rootdisk.sh: add pcd0 device mknod (closes: Bug#74322), which
      MAKEDEV doesn't know about; add gscd and cm206cd devices; remove

      NOTE: i18n integration is not quite complete, but it is very very
            close; it has specifically been kept out of the mainline
            version due to some bugs which are expected to be fixed shortly

    - moved bf-utf from its module to utilities, modified relevant files
      accordingly
    - Makefile: added conditional build time depends on libpng2-dev
      and libpopt-dev

      in which case it: uses more blocks, adds  fb0 ptyp ptyq ptyr ptys
      devices, includes a font for bterm, includes a wrapper 'udbootstrap'
      and modifies inittab accordingly, includes libutf8_plug.so, bterm,
      all messages files, lc-enabled dbootstrap
      removed redundand '$' from awk invocations
    - utilities/bogl/Makefile: added bterm's font reduction to build process
    - utilitise/dbootstrap/Makefile: added rules necessary for creation of
      'dbootstrap-lc' - a language-chooser enabled dbootstrap, added configure
      runs to generation of libnewt and libslang
    - utilities/dbootstrap/po/Makefile: build both normal and utf messages
      files by default
    - added removal of necessary files to clean rules

    - dbootstrap/baseconfig: eliminate the annoying "touch" warning
    - dbootstrap/tzconfig: recommend to select tz using country/continent
    - dbootstrap/bootconfig: if we can't figure out 'device', prompt;
      fix some other stuff (closes: Bug#62546); if root fs is on a logical
      partition, and thus lilo is installed on an extended partition, we
      still need to install mbr on our boot sector (closes: Bug#62530)
    - dbootstrap/*: tweak strings and messages
    - scripts/rescue/rdev.sh: improvements (closes: Bug#59825)
    - documentation/README-authors: update for Potato
    - documentation/tech-info.sgml: improvements, rdev.sh is i386 only,
      marks some todo items, update required kernel features
      (closes: Bug#58836)
    - rescue(i386): reclaim a line at the top of the screen, we need it;
      add aic7xxx=no_probe comment in f6; refer to "disk devices" instead
      as "disk controllers"
    - base: stop making empty /etc/console-data/default.keymap
      (closes: Bug#62707)
    - documentation/Makefile: clean is cleaner
  * Othmar Pasteka <pasteka@kabsi.at>

      add Austrian references
  * Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>
    - include libdb2 in base on all architectures now
    - PowerPC base no longer needs libncurses4 or libreadlineg2
    - add psmisc to i386 and powerpc base, because pcmcia-cs depends
      on it
    - add yaboot and hfsutils to pmac rootdisk and powerpc base system
    - get yaboot/ybin from the new debian package, not the web
    - updated BootX and miBoot to the latest versions
    - do not update miBoot used for boot-floppy-hfs.img - the new
      version gives a 'Kernel not found!' error
    - bump up rootdisk size for powermac to 3800K uncompressed -
      now pushing the limits of a floppy
    - add mktemp to busybox for ybin
    - build with new yaboot package so that ybin works with busybox.
  * Yoshizumi Endo <y-endo@ceres.dti.ne.jp>: Japanese updates

boot-floppies (2.2.11) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
    - fdflush.c is_root_a_floppy.c lists.c nfsroot.c no_match.c:
      merged into util.c; these were all single function files, no need to
      have the spread around like that
    - compile warning cleanups
    - fixed logic for cdrom-install detection
    - rootdisk/rcS: perform the ramdisk mount for /tmp for anytime we are
      on a readonly root. TODO: make it so the cdrom's don't have to do
      anything special. Take care of it all here.
    - more changes to support read-only root fs; trying to move stuff from
      debian-cd to here
    - library reduction appears to work on sparc now (removed extraneous
      -lc from dbootstrap's LIBS and it fixed the problem)
    - dbootstrap/util.c: (getif_start)(getif)(getif_end): new functions
      that get the actual list of available interfaces, even allow for
      filtering to only the configured (up) interfaces. (is_network_up)
      returns number of active (up) interfaces. (is_interface_up) takes
      the name of an interface as an argument and returns true if the
      interface is active (up), 0 if not, and -1 if error (doesn't exist).
    - changed most calls from is_network_configured() to is_network_up() so
      that we get a real feel of if the network is actually running (as
      opposed to just having the config files laying around from a
      previous install attempt)
    - main_menu.c: in addition to checking is_network_configured() also
      check is_network_up() to make sure it is actually running
    - final updates to support read-only filesystems. TODO, make this the
      default setup, since it works both ways. Just with read-only, we
      need to mount a ramdisk on /tmp
    - syslogd.c: use realpath() instead of readlink()
    - dbootstrap: removed kernel_image_filename and drivers_filename, and
      simply use the #define's throughout (always the same value anyway)
    - dbootstrap/bootconfig.c: silo image requires the Arch2 extension
    - mount_any():make sure we create all directories up to the mountpoint
    - Allow the hostname to be configured by itself
    - scripts/rescue/install.sh: install config.gz if it exists to
      /boot/config-$version (the same as the kernel-image package would)
    - rescue.sh, kernel.sh, Makefile: create, install, and dep on config.gz
      for all archs. This creates a config.gz on the rescue floppy
      (stripped of blank lines and comments for compactness) so that it
      can then be installed on the base system.

      many levels of symbolic links" problem when configuring drivers
    - documentation/Makefile: fix deps for creating docs

    - fix a dbootstrap segfault on powerpc
    - tell dbootstrap that /vmlinux (as opposed to /vmlinuz) might be a
      successfully installed kernel
    - making the hard drive bootable has a long, long way to go - and newt
      is corrupting the display - but otherwise, installation on a powermac
      now succeeds!  Needs more documentation... (closes: Bug#58779)

      local keyboard driver to get the job done.
    - writemaps/*: Updated to match console-tools to support the above change,
      closes: #61391
    - Make the release scripts have the proper ver_arch suffix in the name
      (Hi Dark!)
    - When installing docs for all langs, put "en" into DESTDIR, and all
      other docs get a subdir under DESTDIR

        partition of your choice, initializing it if necessary.  Doesn't
        work with netfetch yet though.

boot-floppies (2.2.9) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * Matt Porter <porter@debian.org>
    - dbootstrap:main.c: Fixed kernel_image_path for powerpc so that
      netfetch now works.
  * Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@debian.org>
    - basedisks.sh: don't set LANG=C in root/.bashrc (closes: Bug#59936)
    - dbootstrap:bootconfig.c:is_logical_part(): compare with 4, not
      '4' (closes: Bug#60218)
    - improved formatting in View Partitions
    - make choose_not_mounted display not only the partition's device
      name, but also the partition's type, using fdisk_sysname
    - libfdisk: renamed sysname() to fdisk_sysname(), updated all
      callers.
    - Nicer formatting in view partitions.
    - documentation (i386) updated to reflect recommendation to create a
      "/boot" partition.  Also tells about `mbr'/Lilo MBR and their
      support for BIOS Large Disk Access extensions; various other small
      edits, new URL's; update minimum RAM requirements (closes: Bug#60679)
    - Kernel symlinks moved back to "/" (closes: Bug#61229)
    - created an index.en.html for the <current>/doc directory that looks
      a little bit nicer than the default Apache generated directory.
    - NFS not offered by choose_medium() unless it is a supported
      filesystem type.  Also checks that there is a valid network interface.
    - Network not offered unless there's a valid network interface.
    - CD-ROM also not offered unless one is installed.
    - pcmcia modules are unloaded then reloaded when cardmgr is restarted
      after the network is configured so that hardware and drivers are
      fully initialized.  Apparently otherwise some laptops will
      misidentify certain cards after cardmgr is restarted.
  * Hartmut Koptein <koptein@debian.org>
    - tr language support from Andreas Mueller
  * Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
    - dbootstrap/netconfig.c: Fixed free(NULL)'s (closes: Bug#60371,
      Bug#60758)
    - Makefile: make sure to define BASE_TGZ for README-Users.m4
    - dbootstrap/rcS: added detection for CD boots. Allows it to be
      smarter about choosing some of the defaults and gives the user extra
      info along the way (basically reduces the amount of questions
      presented to the user, if they are doing a CD install). Also, on
      live CD fs's, we need to setup a ramdisk for /tmp.
    - Update sparc device lists for the root disk and base
    - When choosing an NFS server for kernel/driver install, and we have
      to load the nfs module, check the return value and fail if it does
      not exit cleanly when "modprobe nfs" is called
    - Added detection from dbootstrap for cdrom installs (e.g. we booted
      from a cdrom, let's just use that and not ask so many questions).
    - Removed all traces of sun4c rescue images. Change tftp images to
      single arch (sun4u and sun4cdm), put them in their respective
      directories. They still use tilo, but not doubled up.
    - Cleaned up tftpboot.sh a lot
    - Make it so that dbootstrap does not ask for the install method if we
      are a cdrom install and isverbose is not set. Also, if only one CD
      is detected, and it is a cdrom install, and isverbose is not set,
      just go with it and don't ask that either (BAM, two more questions
      gone :)

  * Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>
    - add a new flavor, 'idepci', which is like compact but even more
      compact, lacking the SCSI drivers; this should help users who
      hang with some SCSI probes
    - add a new flavor, 'udma66', for those requiring Andre Hedrick's 
      IDE patch

boot-floppies (2.2.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * fdisk: using the 2.2 features of the /proc file-system, we should be
    able to detect any and all kernel-supported r/w random-access devices
  * dbootstrap: installation via HTTP method (net-fetch) added; messages
    not yet tuned, this method should work fine but might not look pretty
    yet
  * dbootstrap: look for files and stuff in
    dists/potato/main/disks-%s/current where %s is the architecture name
  * busybox: more updates, fixing some critical problems in tar (setuid
    not respected, files with symlinks to them (i.e. libc) set to 777), 
    cp, and mv didn't work for directories; fix problem where symlink
    targets were made world-writable (!)
  * dbootstrap: when writing /etc/fstab, use tabs (closes: Bug#11926,
    Bug#36657)
  * dbootstrap: add commented out /dev/pts example to /etc/fstab 
    (closes: Bug#33950)
  * dbootstrap: don't ask about GMT or not on m68k; when we *do* ask about
    it, do it in one dialog box, not two; look for UTC not GMT in
    /etc/default/rcS (closes: Bug#48866)
  * base: remove setserial from sparc platform
  * base: add xviddetect, and pciutils -- these are not yet integrated,
    however; debconf-tiny integration put off due to critical
    perl-5.005-base bugs
  * rescue: rdev.sh handles an alternate kernel location as an optional
    argument (closes: Bug#27650)
  * dbootstrap: ask when mke2fs'ing whether to use 2.2 specific features
    (closes: Bug#47490)
  * dbootstrap: change the wording of the name server selection
    (closes: Bug#23337); many other wording changes
  * dbootstrap: don't put `vga=normal' in the default lilo.conf since it
    apparently breaks MDA graphics cards (closes: Bug#35873)
  * top-level Makefile: check for dependancies by examining
    /var/lib/dpkg/status instead of running `dpkg --get-selections' since
    the latter only shows whether a package is *selected* for installation
    (closes: Bug#52596)
  * scripts/basedisks/new_root_home/.bash_profile: trap `:' instead of `""'
    so that children don't ignore the signals (closes: Bug#21867)
  * dbootstrap: be more specific when prompting for floppies
    (closes: Bug#48779)
  * debian/rules: scrub /usr/src/boot-floppies.tar.gz more, removing wierd
    ownership and permissions

 -- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org>  Mon,  3 Jan 2000 01:44:40 -0500

boot-floppies (2.2.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * busybox: updated to 0.40; fix logger; remove free (use lazybox free
    instead, which is better)
  * dbootstrap: 'expert' boot argument skips some annoying confirmation
    dialog boxes; fix kbdconfig dialog being too big; fix the 'list'
    archive selection method for installing kernel; more debugging and
    informative messages piped to syslog; on i386, install mbr using
    /sbin/install-mbr; for m68k, fix keyboards; when doing 'list' method
    of disk or mounted archive location selection, just do it if we only
    have one possibility
  * root: add lazybox 'man' command, reminding users to install man-db pkg
  * debian/copyright: remove old FSF address; add/re-organize busybox,
    lowmemrd, dbootstrap copyright information (lintian)
  * debian/control: standards version 3.1.1; depend on gcc, file; change
    priority to extra
  * debian/rules: debhelperify; binary package contains the tarball
    /usr/src/boot-floppies.tar.gz, rather than the unpacked files in
    /usr/src/boot-floppies/
  * i18n: Hungarian, Russian, French, Portuguese updates
  * powerpc: add amiga-fdisk to base and root
  * close bugs from last release (closes: Bug#52073, Bug#41193, Bug#30959)
  * we split root/boot now, maybe we'll do initrd or some such for woody,
    but lets close this bug (closes: Bug#40160)
  * README clarifications (closes: Bug#41189)

boot-floppies (2.2.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * this version of boot-floppies is not yet feature complete for potato.
    We still need a lot of help in making dbootstrap better.  Other things
    which are still dreadfully wrong:
      - task package selection not yet integrated
      - xviddetect/anXious not yet integrated
      - apt configurator not yet integrated
      - unified i18n/l10n language/charset not yet fully implemented
      - perl-base still has lots of problems
      - modconf still has tons of problems
    Please volunteer on debian-boot@lists.debian.org or notify/pester/NMU
    the appropriate packages
  * busybox: update to 0.39 from Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>;
    enable lots of new commands in busybox, which saves space on root.bin;
    new commands: syslogd, logger, ping, tail
  * overall aesthetics, cleanup, and maintainability fixes; fix numerous
    problems relating to compatability with the new busybox
  * base: add fbset, move all arches to libpopt0 and libnewt; remove
    bloat pkgs such as libstdc++2.9 and perl-5.005; new pcmcia 
    (closes: Bug#52692)
  * rescue: add sed (from 'sed' package); add lazybox 'free'; remove
    fgrep; stop having vi pose as ae, but instead it emit a message; fix
    bad errors in rescue/modules install.sh scripts (closes: Bug#49517);
    update f*.txt messages for i386, boot arguments documentation in
    particular expanded and updated; fix "restart dbootstrap" by looping
    in /etc/init.d/rcS
  * dbootstrap: added hostname sanity check to netconfig.c (closes:
    Bug#37045); use syslog for logging of all cmd output, which stops
    stuff from getting scribbled on the screen (closes: Bug#32581);
    preliminary support for install base via http
  * root: re-enable library reduction on alpha; provide usr/bin/eject from
    eject package on m68k (closes: Bug#52304)
  * documentation: fix to work with new debiandoc-sgml (currently at
    1.1.36); top-level README for developers mentions you need a head to
    build (closes: Bug#49524); new base size is (at least) 45MB (maybe more)
  * new top level command, 'make mirror' to make a mirror of the
    packages needed to build base; 'make check' improved
  * top-level Makefile: 'make check' now includes $(local_dir) in its
    attempts to populate updates/, checks zlib-bin in i386 check deps; use
    zlib-bin's miniunzip rather than the non-free unzip
  * control: depend on libi18n-langtags-perl, flex; remove depends on
    slice and suggests on unzip
  * remove dpkg-multicd, gettext, perl-5.005, libstdc++2.9, libdb2 from
    base (closes: Bug#48872)
  * rethink file naming:
         .../disks-<arch>/[subarch/][alt-kernel/]disks-<size>/
    Common files should appear on the top-most level at which they are
    common.  This is a deeper directory structure but it will enable us to
    have consistency across architectures and be easier for users to
    understand.  For i386 1440k rescue disk, this is now
    'disks-1.44/rescue.bin', which has the benefit of being ok for a FAT
    filesystem (closes: Bug#43057) -- NOTE: this new system introduces
    file naming issues for file searching in dbootstrap which are not yet
    implemented on all platforms -- YMMV
  * add top-level release/README file describing the new file layout, etc.
  * i386: support for dac960 controller on root disk and base disks;
    switch to 2.2.13 kernel (closes: Bug#52106)
  * i18n: portuguese keyboard support added (closes: Bug#49976);
    pt.po fixed (closes: Bug#47633); Hungarian (hu) translation added;
    Esperanto (eo) updated
  * i18n: groundwork for conherent/consistent i18n/l10n handling, see
    utilities/language-chooser for info (this is not yet part of the
    built boot-floppies)
  * more bug closing of things fixed with kernel 2.2.x 
    (closes: Bug#43058, Bug#25274)

boot-floppies (2.2.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * major updates for potato:
    - potato updates for dependancies, etc. (closes: Bug#41866,
      Bug#44800, Bug#45362)
    - powerpc support
    - root and boot disks split for most architectures
    - new driver installation setup, driver disks split like base disks
    - kernel 2.2.x based, fixing numerous problems with the old kernels,
      and with tecra disks, which are no longer necessary
      (closes: Bug#36875, Bug#34949, Bug#39961, Bug#41456, Bug#37892)
    - selections mechanism is gone in favor of metapackages 
      (closes: Bug#33837, Bug#41408)
    - many i386 booting problems fixed in new upstream syslinux
      (closes: Bug#47101 et al)
  * maintainer for this software changed to debian-boot@lists.debian.org;
    it really is a joint effort
  * added pointerize i18n tools, moving our i18n system to gettext
  * Added support for nfs media type always being selectable.  When selected,
    the user is prompted to configure the network.
  * Removed some obsolete partition to filesystem mappings from libfdisk.
  * Fixed busybox halt routine to not call it's bdflush routine.  This 
    causes halt/reboot hangs on 2.2.11+ with kupdate
  * Modified prototype init_tab to spawn a shell and the final install
    script directly.  New login package broke passwordless access.
  * Fixed basedisks.sh problem with creating .../etc/network/spoof-protect.
  * Updates for serial console handling with new kbd and setserial
    packages.  Also identification of a serial console system to the
    final installation so keymapping is not attempted.
  * Disabled broken powerpc, sparc library reduction.
  * Fixed disksize boot-parameter default setting for systems that
    don't have it passed from the loader.
  * Moved powerpc to kernel 2.2.12, increased rescue disk size.  Haven't
    split rescue to boot/root yet.                                              
  * graphical dbootstrap option for framebuffer capable systems
  * debian/control: un-version the versioned dependancy on lynx, allowing
    lynx-ssl to work also (closes: Bug#38839); standards version 3.0.1.1
  * debian/rules: move to FHS
  * all arches use ext2 filesystems (no minix anymore)
  * Better serial console support, now autodetects if on serial and skips
    kbd config, etc. 
  * Fixed powerpc subarch detection to properly detect PReP and reduced to
    only use sed.
  * Error in checking of base system installation fixed, dbootstrap:
    main_menu.c, and extract_base.c. (closes: Bug#36947, Bug#38007)
  * Introduction of disksize boot-parameter, dbootstrap: main.com, and
    dbootstrap.h (closes: Bug#35729)
  * Rewritten tftpboot.sh to support many image formats (TFTP, TILO now).
  * Rewritten alternate kernel rules in top Makefile (should work for sparc &
    i386 arch at least).
  * Don't ask for setting hardware clock to local time on sparc arch (assume
    always GMT).  Other archs could undef LOCALTIME in dbootstrap.h to do so.
  * All dialog boxes are now centered on screen.
  * documentation: add powerpc

boot-floppies (2.1.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changes made by Martin Schulze <joey@debian.org> to provide proper
    German disk images.  Details follow:
    - Added support for a creator != maintainer, main Makefile and
      rootdisk.sh
    - Added detection for modules in main makefile since both minix
      support and loopback support is sufficient when provided as modules
      and kerneld/kmod
    - Extracted MSG_BOOT_MESSAGE_TEXT from all lang_<lang>.h files into a
      boot_message file.  This file will be converted by rootdisk.sh to
      use the proper charset which was required since it is displayed
      before Linux is loaded and thus the IBMPC charset is used on intel
      boxes.
    - Added support for boot_message to rootdisk.sh.  The routine for
      recoding the file was stolen from rescue.sh, well, the skeleton and
      ideas were.
    - Heavily updated de.po for root_profile, changed formattings, changed
      from "Du" to "Sie" which is more kind.
    - .bash_profile: Unset LANG before dselect is called to avoid Perl
      complain about locale.  This is a workaround and needs a proper fix
      for Perl!!!
    - Updated boot messages for SYSLINUX, changed formattings, changed
      from "Du" to "Sie" which is more kind.
    - Updated release_notes, changed formattings, changed from "Du" to
      "Sie".
    - kbdconfig.c: Turned all keyboard descriptions into defines in order
      to fit with our scheme of i18n.
    - Extended lang_C.h and lang_de.h to contain these descriptions.
    - partition_config.c: Added support for LINGUA/LANG when issuing
      `cfdisk'.  Same goes for `mkfs'.  Also added proper _test target so
      we can test this dialog locally as well.
    - Added new address and notice to README-Translators.
  * Updated and corrected English, German, Japanese and Russian 
    documentation (closes: Bug#38442, Bug#42124)
  * skip configuring the keyboard on serial console installation.
  * fixed a problem with non bootable floppy images on ultrasparc (new
    silo1440k-sun4u image required to build).  Compiled with silo 0.8.6-1 to
    fix a bug in booting SunOS on ultrasparc.

 -- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org>  Sat, 26 Jun 1999 18:15:36 -0400

boot-floppies (2.1.8) unstable frozen; urgency=high

  * /dev/console is a symlink (for i386, kernel 2.0.36). 
    Closes #33448, #33428.
  * Typo in the main Makefile when building for the czech
    language. Closes #33283.
  * Built with a fixed dpkg-multicd. Closes #33276.
  * Uses kernel with Adaptec driver v5.1.11. Closes #32444.
  * changes which were made in 2.1.7 but not logged as such:
    documentation: many SPARC-related bits of documentation, include tftp
     boot documentation; document tecra boot-floppies and XT device names
     for i386; typos and grammar fixes
    documentation/README-authors: add list for people working on
     translations, please update this if it is out of date
    PCMCIA fix when copying resolv.conf
    Updated french messages
  * generic alternate kernels support (see MULTI_KERNELS option in main.c)
    used to boot 2.2.1 as well as 2.0.35 on sparc and tecra on i386
  * kernel 2.2.1 support: use /dev/console for all types of display (instead
    of tty1 or ttyS0), deal with /dev/tty not available on console, new broken
    loop device detection method, disable stderrToTTY
  * disable all but the first terminal if booting on serial console
    (especially logging to tty3 & running a shell in tty2), 
  * sparc fixes: use termio not termios (the latter is broken on sparc
    kernels), don't overwrite bin/sed & usr/bin/whiptail if already done by
    a previous installation (in case of a persistent nfsroot filesystem),
    manually add /dev/cua[01] for serial console boot (not provided by
    makedev anymore),
  * ultrasparc support by the mean of ultralinux 2.2.1 kernel:
    builds {resc,drv}1440-2.2.1-sun4u and a new universal tftpboot-2.2.1.img
    based on TILO to boot both sun4[cdm] & sun4u sparcs with the same image.

  * Lots of patches for m68k support by Michael Schmitz.
  * Built using the new util-linux package, to include cfdisk support for
    Extended-WIN95 partitions (Closes #32269, important).
  * If the user skips the "Configure Keyboard" step don't tell him about
    missing /tmp/kbdconf.
  * Fix typo in root's bash_profile that breaks "[Y/n]" default answers.
    (Closes #32324, #32508)
  * debian/control: add dependancies man-db, libpaperg, tetex-bin,
    tetex-extra -- these are for the documentation area (PDF, mostly)
  * documentation: new sections "Organization of This Document", "If You
    Are New to Unix", "Interpreting the Kernel Startup Messages"; heavy
    rework on newly broken out chapter, "Booting the Installation System",
    including new section "Booting from CD-ROM", "Troubleshooting the Boot
    Process";  much more m68k content, including most of Frank's Amiga
    install document (Atari and Mac still quite rough); updates and
    corrections, including conditionalization of Bootable CDs and TFTP by
    platform; advise against running rawrite2.exe from within a DOS box in
    Windows or from Windows Explorer (closes Bug#25975)
    - dselect-beginner.html: added descriptions for acquisition methods,
    mention http_proxy and ftp_proxy env vars (closes Bug#32232)

boot-floppies (2.1.5) unstable frozen; urgency=high

  * Added Esperanto localization done by Edmund Grimley Evans.
  * busybox/chown.c: Use my own kludge for getpwnam, getpwuid, getgrnam
    and getgrgid. That removes the dependency on libc6 NSS (and 'foo: no
    such user' errors when the rootdisk doesn't contain libnss files &
    compat libraries).
  * dinstall/boxes.c: Print 24 blank lines right before erasing the
    screen. That way, the user may see the boot messages using
    Shift-PgUp. (Closes #22474).
  * Fixed "stat" bug on busybox's cp and mv. (Patch by Akira Yoshiyama).
  * Added Slovak localization done by Miroslav Vasko.

    loop. (Closes #31688).
  * Added patch by Matej Vela for using Latin-2 charset on the
    rescue disk where needed.
  * Default to other host being DNS server. (Closes #27062, #31432)

  * dinstall/partition_config.c: offer to run "cfdisk -z" if "cfdisk"
    failed (Closes #29153).

    suggests for documentation building promoted to depends
    (Closes #31888) 
  * documentation: major updates
    - moved from linuxdoc to debiandoc, split HTML files up by chapter
    - dynamically use gettext messages where feasible, translating CPP
    defines to SGML entities
    - dynamic use of other build variables, such as architecture, kernel
    version, etc.
    - conditionally build different 'flavors' of documents based on the
    current build architecture -- see documentation/Makefile for more
    information on building architecture-specific documentation
    - Section "Welcome to Debian" added, "About Copyrights..." moved into
    this section
    - Section "System Requirements" significant updates -- all information
    regarding supported hardware moved here; do not pretend to list all
    suppported hardware, but rather specifically Linux-supported hardware
    *not* supported by the boot disks
    - Section "Before You Start" significant changes -- all information
    regarding hardware configuration or planning put here
    - Section "Methods for Installing Debian" sigificant changes -- update
    and isolate/document platform-specific installation methods and files
    - Section "Booting the Installation System" broken out from other
    section
    - integrate most of the separate Amiga installation info including
    partitioning with HDToolBox, more platforms on the way
    - Section "Disk Naming in Linux", "Boot Parameter Arguments",
    "Booting from CD-ROM", "Troubleshooting the Boot Process",
    "Interpreting the Kernel Startup Messages", "Troubleshooting
    the Boot Process", "Partitioning Prior to Installation",
    others not mentioned -- new sections

boot-floppies (2.1.4) unstable frozen; urgency=high

  * Use modconf 0.2.23 (fixes the "modconf hangs while detecting modules"
    bug, and the "unable to remove pcmcia-cs on a fresh install" bug.).
  * Supports FAT32 partitions.
  * master2files/master: libc6-doc has been renamed to glibc-doc, dome
    depends on libg++2.8.2.
  * Fixed the "wrong keymap after rebooting" bug.
  * Used kernel-image-2.0.36, that means we don't need "tecra" disks.

  * Updated kbdconfig.c to use new kbd-data directories. The install
    system will create /etc/kbd/default.map.gz just after the first
    reboot.
  * modconf uses sed, so I have to put it on modconf.tgz, on the
    drivers disk. Also I have to take it into account when stripping
    down libc.
  * Don't include pcmcia.tgz on 1200MB floppies. As modconf.tgz is bigger 
    now, pcmcia.tgz doesn't fit.
  * README-tecra: "Stolen" README-tecra from Manoj's kernel-package. It
    has a detailed description of the problem and the solutions.
  * Added a patch to busybox's tar, to create the missing directories
    while extracting files. That fixes the drv1440.bin installation
    problem.
  * Fixed maintainer address.

    instead.
  * Update patches for alpha by Loic Prylli <lprylli@debian.org>

    <mvela@public.srce.hr>
  * Added missing de.po, translated by Joey

boot-floppies (2.0.5) frozen unstable; urgency=high

    "Restarting-After-Installing-Base" and "Restarting-When-Choosing-List"
    Bugs.
  * dinstall/choose_medium.c: Show a "Please Wait" message while building
    the list of files that can be used to install the base system (or the
    kernel), because this process can be slow, as the program descends
    recursively through the filesystem we have choosen to install from.
  * dinstall/main_menu.c: Removed the letters from the menu. Too many
    people thought they were "accelerators" and complained because they
    didn't work.
  * pkgsel is not included yet, sorry. It will be in the next version.
  * Disabled lowmem rootdisk creation, as the disk was unusable. We need
    to remove more programs to make it fit in a 1200 blocks floppy image.
