[ Cyril Brulebois — high-level summary ]
* This release implements many changes related to the 2022 General
Resolution about non-free firmware. In particular, this means adding
metadata related to firmware packages, allowing hw-detect to configure
apt-setup according to firmware packages getting deployed. In the
general case, systems installed using netinst should only get main and
non-free-firmware (if such firmware packages are needed) configured,
without contrib or non-free.
* Builds involving local packages (LOCAL and LOCALDEBS settings) were
also reworked. This feature is not used for official builds, and some
catch-up was needed (apt becomes stricter over time). The expected
layout for local packages was clarified (see comments in CONF.sh), and
while it is expected to be clearer and better than it was, it might
require some local adjustments.
.
[ Cyril Brulebois ]
* CONF.sh (and README):
+ Clarify expected layout below the LOCALDEBS directory.
+ Clarify relationships between NONFREE, NONFREE_COMPONENTS, and
FORCE_FIRMWARE.
+ Keep only non-free-firmware in NONFREE_COMPONENTS, as the
interesting firmware packages have been moved from non-free to
non-free-firmware.
+ Unset CONTRIB for consistency: NONFREE is unset, and packages in
contrib are usually there because they depend on packages in
non-free.
* apt-selection:
+ Annotate local repositories with [trusted=yes].
* easy-build.sh (and Packages-gen):
+ Create top-level Release files for local packages, allowing apt to
validate Packages files (when UPDATE_LOCAL=1 is set).
+ Create both compressed and uncompress Packages files: apt is
unhappy if uncompressed files are missing; the package indexing
done in various places is unhappy if compressed files are missing.
* generate_firmware_patterns:
+ Refresh modalias information for the firmware-sof-signed package
(using linux-image-6.1.0-1-amd64 version 6.1.4-1).
+ Make sure dep11 metadata files are present.
+ Rewrite to work on a single package at once (working on ALL was
mostly interesting during early development).
* generate_firmware_tasks:
+ Search for firmware packages only in the configured components,
instead of searching in all available components. This means main
in any case, while contrib, non-free, and non-free-firmware depend
on the CONTRIB, NONFREE, NONFREE_COMPONENTS, and related variables.
+ Implement support for pseudo-option --list-filenames, making the
firmware package search reusable.
* make-firmware-image:
+ Use generate_firmware_task to find firmware packages.
+ Implement firmware/dep11 generation for bookworm and later. This
tool is responsible for generating the firmware tarball, zip, and
cpio archives that can be used to extend installation media which
don't contain firmware packages. This allows hw-detect to benefit
from the same metadata as found in e.g. the netinst image.
* make_disc_trees.pl:
+ Add leading / to paths in Contents-firmware indices, making it
easier to use by hw-detect.
+ Add component column to Contents-firmware indices, making it
possible for hw-detect to set the right apt-setup/$component
parameters.
+ Store $package.component files alongside $package.patterns files
for firmware packages, also to help hw-detect.
+ Create /firmware before adding symlinks, and error out if symlink
creation fails.
+ Improve block calculation for firmware-related metadata files.
+ Merge “local” udebs into “main” explicitly.
+ Rewrite .disk/base_components if needed: setting LOCAL=1 results
in debootstrap's being called with --components=main,local while
there might be no debs on the image (depending on the contents of
the LOCALDEBS directory)… in that case, rewrite base_components
without “local”.
* start_new_disc:
+ Remove /dists/local commodity symlink: it's unclear what it is or
was useful for, and it generated a lot of confusion during this
development cycle (local = component or codename?!), masking other
shortcomings.
* Replace all gzip -9 variations with pigz -9nm ones.
* Add pigz to Depends accordingly.
* Add uuid-runtime to Depends (missed in 3.1.36).
.
[ Samuel Thibault ]
* Fix missing %install% replacements, fixing support for automatically
starting a specific entry when a timeout is reached.
.
[ Steve McIntyre ]
* make-firmware-image: Add a list file to show what's included in
the firmware archives.
* Add new config option DISABLE_UEFI_32 to control mixed-mode EFI on
x86 builds. Closes: #1031424
* Add iucode-tool to the list of base packages wanted for amd64 and
i386, so we will have it available for installing CPU microcode. Checksums-Sha1:
