Package: debian-installer
Previously, for syslinux 6 the isohybrid{,pl} programs where availabe
within the isolinux package, however, since these programs are usable on
all architectures even if the bootloader isn't available, they have been
moved to the package syslinux-utils which will be available on all
architectures.
Please update your build-depends/depends to reflect that.

Bug#746743: syslinux 6.x to unstable on 2014-05-17
now that the last revision of syslinux left NEW i would like to upload syslinux 6.x to unstable in two weeks (2104-04-17). however, syslinux 6.x has a few incompatible changes: * upstream: with the addition of efi support, syslinux modules are now stored in a different location, e.g: /usr/lib/syslinux/vesamenu.c32 - /usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/vesamenu.c32 * upstream: since syslinux 5.x, some bootloaders need additional loader files (ldlinux.*) to be copied to the medium. for syslinux/extlinux this is already handled automatically, for the 'manual' bootloaders (isolinux/pxelinux), this needs to be done manually. * upstream: since syslinux 5.x, modules have dependencies, e.g: using vesamenu.c32, you also need libutil.c32 and libcom32.c32 for more information, see: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Library_modules * debian: with the addition of efi support, syslinux bootloaders are packaged separately, e.g.: isolinux.bin is in isolinux, pxelinux is in pxelinux, etc. packages re-using the syslinux bootloaders should depend on these individual bootloader packages. the following packages are affected, i've send patches accordingly: * debian-cd: #746746 * debian-installer: #746743 * ipxe: #746747 * libguestfs: #746748 * refit: #746749 * unetbootin: #746751 * live-build: will do myself * syslinux-themes-debian: is orphaned; will take care of that -- Address:Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

honestly, i'm not sure how/if i can summarize it in public, it was a
private discussion between me, ftp-master, and eventually dam and dpl.
You also seem to be unable to describe your changes to the existing
packages that you want to do except for handwaiving.
i've taken out the standalone preseeding backend stuff from
src:live-config into src:live-debconfig.
I don't see how we could handle this request, so I'm tagging it
moreinfo now, even if it might as well be closed unless there's
more useful input.
ok, let's close it then (or rather, reassign to ftp-masters.. so they
can reject live-debconfig 3 from NEW, and i'll re-upload it as version
4 for jessie, that they then can process without problems anytime soon.
How would lxc depend on something live-*'ish?
for container configuration; the generic name for this was rejected by
ftp-master, bottom line is they think it's live-* stuff (eventhough it
is not), so it needed to use a package name out of the debian-live
namespace.
Please elaborate. What timeframe are you assuming?
we'll be having alpha1 out in a couple of days, so we have a baseline
of what still needs work. i expect one week (plus one week for safety)
until live-{build,boot,config,tools} is good enough for wheezy, and
after that, another week (plus one week for safety) for live-installer
and debian-installer-launcher. that would be somewhen arround end of
august. for live-manual i don't know about Bens plans, but should be
somewhat similar i think.
As for uncooperativeness it doesn't help that you ignore half of
the mails.
i'm not aware to not have answered (or even ignored) any mails send to
this bug report, did i?
Maybe you need everything spelt out instead of blindly assuming
that you'd somehow get what questions we're aiming at.
i appreciate if you formulate questions in a direct, unambiguous and
an easy understandable way, yes.
I should not assume malice, I guess.
i prefer if you don't.

We are NOT talking about whatever debian-cd creates. We are talking about the installer images. Those that fall out of the debian-installer source. exactely, which, as i said, have non-free parts included in some derivatives. e.g.: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz (for system where the nic needs firmware, the netboot initrd already needs to contain it in order to work). But the link to debian-cd created images answers the question in a different way: It won't have installer images in contrib/non-free. The only non-free stuff we would be likely to add - is added by debian-cd in an extra set of cd images. for derivatives that choose to support users with d-i+non-free-udebs images, they can today store them in dists/$codename/non-free/installer-$arch/[...]. with your proposal, it's effectively impossible for derivatives to store their d-i+non-free-udebs images in a reasonable location within the archive. therefore my request to account for non-free within the archive for the new installer images location *eventhough* official debian does not yet or ever use it. -- Address:Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Adding syslinux-udeb
Hi,
currently, live-installer supports two installation modes, in a nutshell:
* 'normal' mode: unpacking squashfs to /target, removing live-*
packages, result: regular non-live system.
* 'live' mode: unpacking squashfs to /target, keeping live-*
packages, adding 'plainroot' bootparameter, result: live system
we intend to add a third, 'real live/dump' mode (name not yet clear):
* ${new_mode}: copying squashfs to /target, rerunning bootloader
for target device, result: live system
in order to do that, and since we cannot rely on mounting the squashfs
for writing the bootloader from 'within' the live system to the target
disk, we need the bootloader available in d-i itself.
since in d-i, normal .deb packages cannot be installed (that would be in
the pool of the live-media), we need a udeb.
i therefore intend to add a syslinux-udeb shipping two files: mbr.bin
(~440byte) and syslinux (~55k). please give the required ack in order to
allow me to proceed with the upload of syslinux (which has to go through
NEW for that).
Regards,
Daniel

Switching default install entry to graphical installer?
Hi, i've been testing the graphical installer quite intensively during the last days and it works very well. given that these days most of the crappy hardware that used to not work with g-i has either vanished completely, or, represents a supposedly so insignificant share of the target audience, that i think we should make g-i the default entry on the regular d-i images, as it's much nicer for the general audience and supports more languages.
