debootstrap (1.0.21) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * Apply patch from Clint Adams <schizo@debian.org> to add support for
    gz/bz2/xz data.tar (closes: #458663).

  [ Guillem Jover ]
  * Refactor deb extractors into two new functions.
  * Use dpkg-deb if available instead of ar (closes: #557296).
  * Add an --extractor option to override the automatic extractor selection.

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * Document new --extractor option in manpage.
  * Apply patch from Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant+bugs@freegeek.org> not
    fail if resolv.conf is a broken symlink (closes: #390647).

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Use tab indentation in scripts/debian/sid to reduce its size (relevant
    for Debian Installer).
  * Add apt to base packages for the buildd variant as it is no longer marked
    Build-Essential.

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * Apply patch from Andres Salomon <dilinger@collabora.co.uk> to honor
    --components when using mirror_style 'main' (closes: #561283).
  * Apply patch from Andres Salomon <dilinger@collabora.co.uk> to fix
    iteration through components in download_main (closes: #561298).

  [ Joey Hess ]

    Debian. Closes: #288109

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Sun, 27 Dec 2009 18:51:06 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.20) unstable; urgency=low

  * For recent Ubuntu versions, move $TARGET/sbin/initctl aside in the same
    way we do start-stop-daemon, so that attempts to control Upstart jobs
    won't inadvertently affect jobs in the host system.
  * Rename EXAMPLE section in debootstrap(8) to EXAMPLES (closes: #548458).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun, 04 Oct 2009 21:23:07 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.19) unstable; urgency=low

  * Ignore failures from dpkg --predep-package. It exits 1 if there are no
    suitable packages available, which isn't an error for us, but in_target
    complains anyway, so just use in_target_nofail; the termination
    condition is handled immediately afterwards anyway.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Thu, 24 Sep 2009 19:57:05 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.18) unstable; urgency=low

  * Only use dpkg from the chroot, as there is no guarantee dpkg is 
    available outside of the chroot (d-i installation for example).

 -- Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org>  Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:37:01 +0200

debootstrap (1.0.17) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove boneheaded use of sudo left over from testing (closes: #547949).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:10:19 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.16) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Cope with pre-dependencies of included packages that aren't in Priority:
    required (closes: #487908).
  * Upgrade to debhelper v7. (Override rules get pretty hairy for this
    package, so I haven't switched to dh(1).)
  * Use ports.ubuntu.com as default mirror on sparc for Ubuntu hardy and
    beyond (LP: #431145).
  * Add (Ubuntu) lucid as a symlink to gutsy.

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Makefile: remove unused ARCH variable.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:28:40 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.15) unstable; urgency=low

  * On Linux, clear out /etc/mtab on exit if it's not a symlink. Should fix
    problems Wouter Verhelst and Martin Michlmayr are seeing with
    initramfs-tools MODULES=dep, although it probably isn't a perfect
    solution.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:45:00 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * Apply patch from Felix Zielcke <fzielcke@z-51.de> to use "dpkg
    --print-architecture" to avoid deprecation warning. Closes: #531680.
  * Reference squeeze instead of sarge in manpage. Based on a patch from
    Geoff Simmons <gsimmons@gsimmons.org>. Closes: #534575.
  * Apply patch from Riku Voipio <riku.voipio@iki.fi> to add support for
    scratchbox variant. Closes: #536820.

 -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@ossystems.com.br>  Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:34:54 -0300

debootstrap (1.0.13) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * Apply patch from Luca Favatella <slackydeb@gmail.com> to improve
    coding style.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Add (Ubuntu) karmic as a symlink to gutsy.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 24 Apr 2009 20:08:24 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.12) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * Improve code to choose between libc packages. Thanks to Luca Favatella
    <slackydeb@gmail.com> for first version of the patch.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Remove partial support for emitting translated progress messages with
    gettext. Don't panic; d-i still has all the support necessary for this.
    debootstrap's own support for doing this outside d-i with gettext's
    shell bindings has been completely broken ever since it was added in
    2003, though, and nobody has complained. Fixing it would require a big
    pile of infrastructure and some non-trivial patches, plus arranging to
    copy all the translations over from base-installer, and it just doesn't
    seem worth it, so lose the cruft (LP: #188690).
  * Export PATH, just to make sure. It isn't necessarily exported by shells
    running from init=/bin/sh or similar, and the upstream bash maintainer
    is unwilling to export it by default; it's easy enough to do so here
    (LP: #320188).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:38:46 +0000

debootstrap (1.0.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add (Ubuntu) jaunty as a symlink to gutsy.
  * Clarify that --second-stage is needed to complete the bootstrapping
    process after --foreign.
  * Fix --make-tarball= option (closes: #484869).
  * Fix old Debian scripts and all Ubuntu scripts to cope with Anthony's
    change in 1.0.8 to make --second-stage not bother recalculating required
    and base.
  * Rename 'repeat' to 'repeatn', since 'repeat' is a reserved word in zsh;
    although strictly speaking this seems like an incompatibility in zsh
    when linked to /bin/sh (closes: #340058).
  * Fix --unpack-tarball= option (thanks, Torsten Landschoff; closes:
    #500759).
  * Fix handling of relative DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR (thanks, Mikhail Gusarov;
    closes: #503460).
  * Cope with ancient versions of chroot(8) that don't call chdir() (thanks,
    Patrik Arvhult; closes: #350635).
  * Recommend gnupg for --keyring option (thanks, Robert Millan; closes:
    #467571).
  * Note that you can't --include packages with non-required Pre-Depends
    (see #487908).
  * Mention /sys in EXAMPLE section of manual page, and use "defaults"
    rather than "none" as the mount options for /proc (thanks, Raúl Sánchez
    Siles; closes: #410787).
  * Add /dev/console to devices.tar.gz (after all, MAKEDEV's 'consoleonly'
    was added for boot-floppies in the first place; see
    https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2009-January/027230.html).
  * Add support for squeeze (closes: #513488).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 18 Feb 2009 23:46:12 +0000

debootstrap (1.0.10) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Avoid "broken pipe" errors in bootstrap.log from the the smallyes function.
    The errors themselves are inherent to how the function is used, so just
    suppress them. Closes: #480560.

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Do not cache Release and Release.gpg files. Closes: #488424.
  * Abort if a Packages file failed to verify.
  * Update standards version to 3.8.0; no other changes needed.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:44:25 +0200

debootstrap (1.0.9) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Error out on unrecognized options to avoid invalid options to be
    recognized as arguments.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Use 'chown 0:0' in all scripts rather than deprecated 'chown 0.0'
    (thanks, Evan Klitzke).
  * Add (Ubuntu) intrepid as a symlink to gutsy.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:36:19 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.8) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Change Priority for the udeb to extra in line with overrides file.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Partially revert r50134; there are people who depend on being able to
    use the "upstream" Makefile on non-Debian systems. Create necessary
    directories in the Makefile rather than relying on dh_installdirs to do
    it (LP: #172645).
  * Use ftp.us.debian.org rather than ftp.debian.org
    (http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/12/msg00002.html).

  [ Anthony Towns ]
  * Add minbase variant for the sid script that only install apt (and
    its dependencies) instead of all of base. (Closes: Bug#351912,
    Bug#452654)
  * Make --second-stage not bother recalculating required and base as
    it's not needed.
  * Make --arch and other arguments accept both "--arch i386" and
    "--arch=i386" forms of specifying a parameter to avoid the
    inconsistency.

  [ Stephen R. Marenka ]
  * Allow installation of etch-m68k. (Closes: Bug#458965)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Add minbase variant for Ubuntu gutsy/hardy; see Anthony's change above.
  * Minor manual page formatting improvements.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:19:34 +0000

debootstrap (1.0.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * No longer include full devices tarball in udeb.
  * Also try 'udpkg --print-architecture' when determining the target
    architecture.
  * Utility pkgdetails moved from debootstrap-udeb to bootstrap-base so that
    the udeb can become 'Architecture: all'.
  * Change /usr/lib/debootstrap to /usr/share/debootstrap. Closes: #430615.
  * Use tab indentation in debootstrap and functions saving 3kB (relevant for
    Debian Installer).
  * Fix various inconsistencies in build scripts.
  * Fix dpkg-genchanges warning 'missing Priority for source files'.
  * Update Standards-Version to 3.7.2. No changes needed.
  * Changes in udeb require base-installer 1.85.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Wed, 14 Nov 2007 12:15:45 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Ensure that the target directory exists in check_sane_mount.
  * Don't ignore 'make clean' errors. (The Makefile is always present.)

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun, 21 Oct 2007 10:50:59 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.5) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Don't rely on GNU sed's s///I extension (closes: #350583).

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Skip the noexec/nodev test when running --print-debs or other operations
    that do not involve building systems.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 20 Oct 2007 23:10:34 -0400

debootstrap (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Neil Williams ]
  * Add --second-stage-target option that allows embedded to test for
    installations in a chroot on the device (closes: #445157).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Add (Ubuntu) hardy as a symlink to gutsy.
  * Unmount /lib/init/rw on exit (closes: #391604).
  * Cope if uncompressed Packages is missing from Release (closes: #402380).
  * Don't rely on XSI test(1) extensions.
  * Add support for ssh:/// URLs (thanks, Steffen Joeris; closes: #434893).
  * Fix Ubuntu hoary and breezy scripts to unmount /dev etc. on exit
    (closes: #327708).
  * Emit an error if we cannot create working devices or executables on the
    target (based on work by Bastian Kleineidam; closes: #233798).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 19 Oct 2007 14:57:37 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Ignore errors when unmounting filesystems, to avoid stopping at the
    first one with problems.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 21 Aug 2007 12:32:37 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Document --components in man page.
  * Update man page, as packages listed in --include should now be auto
    dep-resolved by default.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Extensive quoting fixes, allowing installation to a target containing
    spaces (closes: #387673).
  * scripts/debian/sid: Handle libc0.3 on hurd-i386 (thanks, Michael Banck;
    closes: #314304).
  * functions: Stub out /proc setup and add device setup for the Hurd
    (thanks, Michael Banck; closes: #314311).
  * Add --version option (closes: #294484).

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * Fix bunzip2 path. Thanks Martín Ferrari <martin.ferrari@gmail.com> by
    the patch (closes: #436218).

 -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org>  Tue, 07 Aug 2007 20:12:55 -0300

debootstrap (1.0.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * scripts/ubuntu/gutsy: Determine buildd variant dynamically using
    Build-Essential: yes.
  * scripts/ubuntu/gutsy.fakechroot: Remove devmapper postinst hack, no
    longer needed.
  * scripts/ubuntu/*.fakechroot: Merge into the corresponding main scripts
    as variants.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Fri, 20 Jul 2007 11:55:22 +0100

debootstrap (1.0.0) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Anthony Towns ]
  * Make debootstrap team maintained under the d-i banner.
  * Add Joey, Frans and Junichi as uploaders, remove JHM (not in the
    d-i group).
  * Make pkgdetails.c not need C99 extensions. (Closes: Bug#398977)
  * Fix am_doing_phase implementation in debootstrap script. Thanks to
    Tero Janka for spotting the problem and the fix. (Closes: Bug#409881)

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Drop support for sarge from the udeb.
  * Update README.Debian:
    - One todo item is done. (I think cross-strap is too, but unsure.)
    - Reword NMU policy to note that it's team-maintained now.
  * ACK my prior NMU. Closes: #418600
  * If /dev/MAKEDEV DNE, as on certain s390 machines, use /sbin/MAKEDEV.
    Closes: #420908
    Note that /dev/MAKEDEV is still the correct location, and is still tried
    first so that building works on all FHS systems, as noted in #190239.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Add support for Ubuntu dapper (Closes: #342838), edgy, feisty, and
    gutsy. Exclude everything but gutsy from the udeb.
  * Fix "deboostrap" typo in debootstrap(8) (thanks, Adam Conrad).
  * Fix "htp" typo in temporary /etc/apt/sources.list.
  * Drop support for woody from the udeb too.
  * When removing $TARGET/debootstrap, debootstrap.log is still open as
    stdout/stderr and needs to remain so, but after unlinking it some NFS
    servers implement this by a temporary file in the same directory, which
    makes it impossible to rmdir that directory. Moving it instead works
    around the problem (thanks, Steven McCoy;
    https://launchpad.net/bugs/65003).
  * Fix formatting error in debootstrap(8) (.R is not a macro).
  * Reorganise scripts into scripts/debian/ and scripts/ubuntu/ directories
    in the source tree to declutter the top level.
  * Add default_mirror function; reorganise the debootstrap script a little
    so that it works. Set the default mirror for Ubuntu suites to
    http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu, and the default mirror for Debian
    etch/lenny/sid architectures other than amd64 and i386 to
    http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian (per ajt; see bug #363049).
  * Add devices created by fd to devices-std.tar.gz, so that
    /dev/std{in,out,err} is available conveniently in chroots with /proc and
    /dev/pts mounted (thanks, Matthias Klose).
  * Document --keyring and --make-tarball. (Closes: #368988)
  * Update Ubuntu mirrors: warty/hoary/breezy => old-releases.ubuntu.com,
    unsupported architectures => ports.ubuntu.com.
  * Add myself to Uploaders.
  * Bump to 1.0.0. Nobody uses debootstrap in production, do they?

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Remove the extended package description (aka bloat) from the udeb.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sat, 23 Jun 2007 02:19:27 +0100

debootstrap (0.3.3.3) unstable; urgency=low

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Fri, 16 Feb 2007 20:43:36 +0100

debootstrap (0.3.3.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * NMU with maintainer approval
  * functions/get_debs: build list of available packages from all specified
    sources; this allows debootstrap to also use e.g. custom versions of base
    packages from a source of local packages included on an installation CD.
    Closes: #398762.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Thu, 16 Nov 2006 05:30:43 +0100

debootstrap (0.3.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Include kFreeBSD and fakechroot support from 0.3.2.1 and 0.3.2.2 NMUs,
    thanks to Otavio Salvador and Piotr Roszatycki. (Closes: Bug#319100,
    Bug#328446, Bug#204652, Bug#315044, Bug#Bug#319799)

  * Require target to be specified in all cases; document usage of target
    for --print-debs. (Closes: Bug#335922, Bug#337230)

  * Use ln -sf when symlinking awk for woody and sarge. (Closes: Bug#299048)

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Sun,  6 Nov 2005 04:12:39 +1000

debootstrap (0.3.2.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * NMU

 -- Piotr Roszatycki <dexter@debian.org>  Sat, 29 Oct 2005 11:29:00 +0200

debootstrap (0.3.2.1) unstable; urgency=low

 -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org>  Fri, 28 Oct 2005 16:14:57 -0200

debootstrap (0.3.2) unstable; urgency=low

    license requirements (GPL) (Reopens: Bug#204652)

  * Changes from 0.3.1.2 NMU, thanks to Joey Hess: (Closes: Bug#314810)

    + Fix fd redirection in download progress code. See #314373
    + Remove md5sums file from udeb. Closes: #314378
    + Fix debian-installer mode warning code. Closes: #314340

  * Changes from 0.3.1.4 NMU, thanks to Joey Hess:
    + Wrap eval statement in exit_function in parens, working around
      bug #315444 in busybox sh. Closes: #314373

  * Changes from 0.3.1.5 NMU, thanks to Anibal Monsalve Salazar:
    + Fixed "--variant=buildd option does not work" for pbuilder,
      closes: #314858. Patch by Matt Kraai <kraai@ftbfs.org>.

  * Changes from 0.3.1.6 NMU, thanks to Joey Hess:

    + [sarge] Remove duplicate entries for m68k and amd64.  Patch from
      Frans Pop. (Workaround for bug #319777)

      avoid questions during upgrade. (Closes: #238301)
    + Add script for breezy.  Patch from Colin Watson. (Closes: #315940)

  * Changes from 0.3.1.9 NMU, thanks to Joey Hess:
    + Replace the etch script with a copy of the sid script, which pulls in
      gnupg, so the installed etch system has a usable apt. Closes: #334521

  * Create /dev/ptmx in minimal devices tarball. (Closes: Bug#317072)

  * Don't create empty available files, since old dpkg and new kernels can't

    Bug#318254, Bug#313292, Bug#334683, Bug#248578, Bug#289635)

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Sun, 23 Oct 2005 14:49:08 +1000

debootstrap (0.3.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * sid script updated:
    - Determine base dynamically (Priority: required for required packages,
      Priority: important for base packages, Build-Essential: yes for buildd
      variant base). (Closes: Bug#88984, Bug#193134)
    - Use fine grained dpkg progress display, thanks again to Colin Watson.
      (Closes: Bug#229314, Bug#231109, Bug#244563)

  * dpkg output (etc) goes to /var/log/bootstrap.log in the target, rather
    than stdout. This is probably difficult for frontends to capture
    at present.

  * Parsing of Packages file sped up. (Yay!)

    Zimmerman for the analysis.  "Sometimes, dpkg finishes executing before
    smallyes runs, and it loops forever while echo fails repeatedly due to the
    broken pipe."  To fix this race, we simply swap the loop condition and
    body, so that if the echo fails, smallyes() exits cleanly.  I further
    changed "true" to ":" to save the expense of an extra process for shells
    where "true" is not a built-in.

  * Create dev/initctl in target, and setup a cat process to dump anything
    sent to it to /dev/null so that if init is run in the chroot,
    it doesn't try doing anything too clever to talk to the real
    init. (Closes: Bug#120597)
  * Create awk symlink since base-files insists on having it available.
    (Closes: Bug#127934)

  * Use DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR to work out where /usr/lib/debootstrap is.
  * So, in theory, to create basedeb tarballs, you should be able to unpack
    the source and say:
    .

debootstrap (0.1.15.9) unstable; urgency=high

  * non-maintainer upload
  * debian/rules: new 'basedebs' target that makes basedebs.tgz and 1.44
    split images for base per arch
  * functions: better return value handling during wget (wgetprogress)
  * repeat() had a useless eval, removed, which simplifies some silly
    quoting
  * incorrect error message in in_target_msg(), closes: #119769
  * debian/changelog: remove obsolete "local variables"
  * additional progress message when validating the release file after
    download
  * when the downloaded release file is invalid, make sure to delete it
    closes: #119947
  * debian/rules: minor fixes and cosmetics
  * upgrade wget from Recommends to Depends, closes: #126799
  * depend on binutils, for 'ar', closes: #123958

debootstrap (0.1.15.8) unstable; urgency=high

  * non-maintainer upload
  * Fix progress bar hooks to enable proper progress on basedebs.tgz
    installation as well as actual base installation and extraction.
  * trap signals so cleanup is still performed.
  * When in --boot-floppies mode echo a Success info message to stdout, so
    it will show up on /dev/tty4, this is so users watching tty4 stop
    being confused when things just stop at completion.
  * Replace $TARGET/sbin/start-stop-daemon with a shell script instead of
    /bin/true, this shell script announces that its a fake noop version so
    users will know whats wrong if debootstrap aborts before completion.

debootstrap (0.1.15.7) unstable; urgency=high

  * non-maintainer upload
  * when reporting errors in 'in_target', don't chop down to the first
    50 characters
  * woody: when in boot-floppies mode, provide more user-friendly warning
    messages, using new 'in_target_msg' function
  * woody: more info messages for the core/required/base package
    installation part
  * instead of 'ln -s' we should be using 'ln -sf'; this would prevent
    running debootstrap twice in the same target dir; closes: #111065
  * before mounting proc, umount it just in case; normally this shouldn't
    be needed if on_exit is working all the time, but I find without this,
    sometimes problems are caused
  * woody/i386 needs psmisc for pcmcia-cs (critical bug!)
  * --download-only mode can be run as non-root; closes: #116424
  * tested some problems which I couldn't reproduce
    closes: #115699

 -- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org>  Wed, 24 Oct 2001 16:05:39 -0400

debootstrap (0.1.15.6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * non-maintainer upload
  * smaller and wiser version of smallyes(), thanks to Herbert Xu
  * woody base includes pcmcia-cs for i386 and powerpc (closes: #114653)
  * wget progress bar support (closes: #116061)

 -- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org>  Thu, 18 Oct 2001 15:14:02 -0400

debootstrap (0.1.15.5) unstable; urgency=high

  * From Ethan Benson:
  * pipe yes output into dpkg runs inside install_debs() this way on_exit
    works in --boot-floppies mode. (Closes: #112842, #115481)
  * Add libpcap0 to base, ppp depends on it now. (Closes: #114056)

  * From Adam Di Carlo:
  * Potato installation on non-i386 was broken, need libc6
    (closes: #112778); however, there are other ways the Potato base
    install doesn't represent quite what Potato boot-floppies would
    consider base
  * apply patch from Tommi Virtanen which improves the 'smallyes'
    function; apparently this fixes a console-tools postinst loop,
    although I haven't seen that (closes: #115581)
  * get rid of some line continuators in potato and woody scripts, they
    were obscuring some problems

 -- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org>  Mon, 15 Oct 2001 01:56:16 -0400

debootstrap (0.1.15.4) unstable; urgency=high

  * more fixed for the benefits of boot-floppies
  * add telnetd on s390; yes, it's gross, but it's needed for
    installation, to connect from the line mode console
    closes: #112795

 -- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org>  Sun, 23 Sep 2001 16:11:03 -0400

debootstrap (0.1.15.3) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fix deficient command line option parsing, optional arguments no
    longer have to be declared in a specific order, for example before you
    could not put --arch before --download-only, now you can.
  * Add --help option and useful help output.
  * Stop using dirname, basename, and yes, they are being removed from
    busybox.
  * Fix many many quoting bugs.
  * Fix debootstrap man page (Closes: #107404, #109670)
  * Add ftp support (Closes: #110312)
  * Don't waste time downloading useless non-free/contrib (Closes: #89673)
  * Path cleanup (Closes: #97174)
  * Add pppconfig to woody base (Closes: #111001)
  * Remove syslinux from base (Closes: #107447)
  * Eliminate useless warning about creating exim.conf (Closes: #99229)
  * Don't use "here documents" (they create tmp files in /tmp which could
    be very well be full on boot-floppies).
  * Don't use echo -n it is not portable.
  * Set umask to 022.
  * All patches from Ethan Benson, I am just the builder!
    These have been tested with boot-floppies and work properly.

 -- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org>  Sat, 22 Sep 2001 12:30:02 -0400

debootstrap (0.1.15.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * quoting required in one place for the new ash (Closes: Bug#106062)
  * s390 support (Closes: Bug#107262)
  * remove some packages from Woody's base that aren't needed:
    - update (not needed with modern kernels, Closes: Bug#106877)
    - syslinux (Closes: Bug#107477)
    - ldso (should be pulled in by libc6, Closes: Bug#106102)
  * kinks in mipsel base worked themselves out (Closes: Bug#106711)

 -- Adam Di Carlo <aph@debian.org>  Wed,  8 Aug 2001 12:04:40 -0400

debootstrap (0.1.15.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * add efibootmgr on ia64, as per bug 105980.

 -- Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com>  Fri,  3 Aug 2001 14:13:23 -0600

debootstrap (0.1.15) unstable; urgency=low

  * Do progress indications (by bytes) for Packages downloads and .deb
    downloads. (Closes: Bug#101886)
  * Don't use seq. Silly busybox.
  * Add pppoe to base. (Closes: Bug#102378)
  * No point keeping around the "sid.is-broken" file.

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Wed, 27 Jun 2001 21:29:29 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * Make in_target_nofail kill stderr. No more "/dev/pts: not mounted" error.
    Yay. :)

  * Refactor woody, potato and slink scripts; do away with
    woody.debs. Change the way the scripts work. (Now they define
    functions which debootstrap calls. Much nicer)
  * Support --download-only option.
  * Support resuming downloads of Release and Packages files, even gzipped
    ones.
  * Support null: (Packages files assumed to be named for a debootstrap.invalid
    host)
  * Always use the deboostrap.invalid name, and use that in
    /etc/apt/sources.list. Remove /etc/apt/sources.list after the base
    system is build.
  * All this should be enough to support basedeb.tgz installs on
    debootstrap's behalf. Some more stuff would be useful, but isn't
    immediately necessary. (Closes: Bug#102217)

  * Add ia64 support and fix libc6 == libc6.1 problem. (Closes: Bug#101829)

  * Be a little more careful with permissions on devs tarball. Hopefully.
    (Closes: Bug#102308)

  * Don't worry if md5sum from stdin adds a "  -" after the md5sum. Should
    make debootstrap more usable on non-Debian Linuxes.

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Mon, 25 Jun 2001 18:38:35 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add symlink for sid.debs.
  * Fix the special casing for hppa. (Closes: Bug#101604)
  * Remove groff from base. (Closes: Bug#101173)
  * Retry partially successful downloads a couple of times.
    (Closes: Bug#101476)
  * Minor wording changes wrt downloading Release file (Closes: Bug#101705)

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Thu, 21 Jun 2001 12:08:10 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.12) unstable; urgency=high

  * Split determination of base into a separate script to enable further
    innovation! Come on, tell me that doesn't excite you!

  * Add groff-base to base. (Closes: Bug#100112, Bug#100123)
  * Remove libstdc++2.10 and some other hopefully unnecessary debs
    (Closes: Bug#99708)

  * Remove lilo.conf special casing. Change some warnings to info messages.

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Sun, 10 Jun 2001 01:22:12 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add dhcp-client to base. (Closes: Bug#100083)

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Sat,  9 Jun 2001 00:11:26 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Don't abort build on devfs systems: the makedev we build-dep on should
    be recent enough. (Closes: Bug#97713)
  * Check for malformed release files. Thanks to Martin Michlmayr for the
    patch. (Closes: Bug#97707)
  * Use --force-confold when installing base. That is: if you want the
    conffile from the package to be there at the end, don't create a
    file in the first place. I'm not convinced this is right.
    (Closes: Bug#99025)

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Mon, 28 May 2001 14:43:07 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * Abort build on devfs systems (MAKEDEV fails for no good reason)
    (Closes: Bug#97713)

  * Add support for mips and mipsel (Closes: Bug#97711)
  * Add some support for hppa (install palo in base)

  * Don't install ldso (Closes: Bug#97708)
  * Don't install libopenldap1 or libopenldap-runtime (replaced by libldap2)
    (Closes: Bug#98050)
  * Do install libdb3 and libcap1.
  * Install klogd too. (But only as part of base. Move sysklogd to base too)

  * Setup a dummy lilo.conf on i386 only. (Closes: Bug#97710, Bug#98052)

  * Trim a trailing / for target and url.

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Sun, 20 May 2001 13:33:34 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add adduser and base-config into base. base-config unfortunately depends
    on perl instead of perl-base. (Closes: Bug#96439)
  * Force LANG=C. Need to work out how i18n should be handled.
  * Kludge potato install so it's noninteractive. Thanks to Colin Watson
    for the patch. (Closes: Bug#94441)
  * Get rid of dh_testversion.
  * Make a sid script (just a symlink to the woody script).

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Wed,  9 May 2001 20:33:00 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Don't worry if umounting /dev/pts fails.
  * Add debootstrap(8) manpage, thanks to Matt Kraai. (Closes: Bug#86238)
  * Add a blank line to the end of the faked /var/lib/dpkg/status. Spotted
    by Richard Hirst.
  * Added console-tools and console-data into the base system.
  * Move /etc/exim.conf to /etc/exim/exim.conf so that sendmail doesn't
    give errors, even if debconf tries to use it before exim is
    configured.  Gack.
  * Add fdutils back into base.

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Mon, 30 Apr 2001 15:49:27 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Only create stuff in /etc if it hasn't already been created.

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Mon, 23 Apr 2001 18:02:55 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use "head -n X" instead of "head -X" to work with busybox.
    (Closes: Bug#94575)
  * Use s///I instead of s///i for case insensitivity, again for busybox.
    (Closes: Bug#94579)
  * Fixed typo that would have stopped debootstrap from falling back to an
    uncompressed Packages file.
  * Added libsasl7 and libldap2 to woody base, since woody exim now depends
    on them.

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Sun, 22 Apr 2001 01:47:00 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * If we've got a Release file, check that the Packages files we download
    have the right md5sums.
  * Build-Depend on new makedev, and don't hax0r powerpc devices as much.
    (Closes: Bug#93836)
  * Hopefully support arm chroots. (Closes: Bug#92592) Declare it to be
    Arch: any, and see what dies. There's a chance that nothing will. Not
    a *big* chance, but a chance.
  * Fiddled with the base system some more. Added apt-utils so
    preconfiguration will work.
  * Added permission to NMU to the README.Debian.
  * Mention file:/ URLs in README.Debian. (Closes: Bug#87099)
  * Add a --boot-floppies option that changes the way the I/O happens, in
    a way that's hopefully useful for boot-floppies. See README.Debian for
    details.
  * Also added a bit more output.

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Mon, 26 Mar 2001 22:30:12 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.3) unstable; urgency=high

  * Switch from debconf-tiny to debconf, since that's what's now in
    woody. (Using debconf-tiny probably makes the package unusable, hence
    the urgency) Fixup perl, lilo and console-apt to cope with changes in
    the base system in woody. Added ae, left nano and nvi.
  * Add support for m68k, sparc and powerpc, based on Christian Steigies
    patches and Adam Di Carlo's NMU (Closes: Bug#89883, Bug#91221)

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Sun, 25 Mar 2001 14:29:02 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add support for slink.
  * Fix support for woody (no lilo, console-*, different perl)
  * Re-download Packages files every time (Closes: Bug#88438)
    (Should this be changed to re-download things where the md5 doesn't match?)

 -- Anthony Towns <aj@azure.humbug.org.au>  Sun,  4 Mar 2001 19:42:29 +1000

debootstrap (0.1.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Initial Release. (Closes: Bug#82245)

  * Called it debootstrap instead of debchroot, because it's more about
    bootstrapping a Debian environment, whether that will end up being
    in a chroot, or as a standalone system. Blame Adam di Carlo. :)
