From Revision 106 to 87

Rev	Summary	Authors	Date
106	limit the version comparison to major and minor version numb... limit the version comparison to major and minor version numbers Ubuntu 24.04 exposed the weakness in taking the version at face value. 4.6.1 >= 4.4 gave an input error, because a number cannot have two decimal places. So limit it to 4.6. Zero-pad the minor version since it isn't that hard to get to version to .10 or higher.	Justin Luth	7 months ago

96	4.5.8: also cleanup linux-modules to avoid adding an unsigne... 4.5.8: also cleanup linux-modules to avoid adding an unsigned kernel The internet talks about 4.15 linux-modules for 18.04, so perhaps this has been around longer than I thought. The problem appears to be that we remove linux-image and linux-header, but leave behind linux-modules - which depends on either linux-image or linux-image-unsigned. Since we are removing the linux-image, the left-behind linux-modules fulfills its dependency by installing the -unsigned kernel. Well, the intention is to fully remove anything about older kernels, so adding linux-modules to the list should take care of the problem.	Justin Luth	3 years ago
95	arch:all packages don't need ${shlibs:Depends} arch:all packages don't need ${shlibs:Depends} Thanks Internet.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
94	4.5.7: 20.04 - don't set root to 777 (since Calamares doesn'... 4.5.7: 20.04 - don't set root to 777 (since Calamares doesn't fix) mksquashfs is not told to include root, it is only given a list of subfolders. So it created the root node with 777 permission. Other installers obviously must "fix" this up, but Calamares doesn't. VERY recently (only in 20.04), mksquashfs added an option to set the -root-mode to whatever permission you want. Since the other work-arounds didn't work for me, and since we only expect to use Calamares installer for 20.04 or later, I just decided to use that new feature, and ignore the problem for older distros. Thanks to ufw status (firewall) for alerting me to the problematic 777 mode for /. Calamares was notified of the problem (https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1418) but didn't really seem to care.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
93	4.5.6: eoan support: .desktop must be metadata::trusted true... 4.5.6: eoan support: .desktop must be metadata::trusted true, not yes Despite all of the web documentation talking about metadata::trusted yes for bionic, the Ubuntu 18.04.1 ISO uses true. In other words, it should be no problem to switch to true here, since it will work with 18.04 also.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
92	remove preinstall/postinstall: that didn't avoid user intera... remove preinstall/postinstall: that didn't avoid user interaction The purpose of that was to try to avoid having the user having to answer a question during apt upgrade. It didn't work.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
91	Eoan suport: try to handle patches better Eoan suport: try to handle patches better Patches are going to be for specific versions of software, so how best to handle a patch in a multi-version .deb package? We have two examples here - one where the 18.04 patch now seems unnecessary, and one where the patch is still valuable 2 years later. My solution was to test if the patch applies without error - in that case apply and expect that it will work properly in the future. If the patch fails, then notify about the failure, but skip applying portions of the patch (since in this example one hunk succeeded and one hunk failed).	Justin Luth	4 years ago
90	Eoan support: to enable ZFS in the installer, Recommend: zfs... Eoan support: to enable ZFS in the installer, Recommend: zfsutils-linux ... and zfs-initramfs. New in 19.10 is experimental support for zfs on root. This install option is hidden if zfs packages are not installed. Adding this as a recommends ought to satisfy the intention of ensuring that it is installed (since Ubuntu normally installs recommended packages), but it won't block the installation if it is not available. It seemed like a slightly cleaner solution than adding another apt-get install line in remastersys, but mostly 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other. Even better would be if Ubuntu added this recommends to ubiquity, but their discussion suggests they want each distribution to "seed" this.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
89	make slideshow install 3x quieter make slideshow install 3x quieter Especially if you have run remastersys several times, there will be some "orphaned" packages from the ubquity removal. Since ubiquity is about to be installed again, there is no need to see all that information. If the preferred slideshow fails to install, we DO want the operator to know about that, since it is a user defined setting, so don't send everything to /dev/null. Three --quiets seems to do the trick.	Justin Luth	4 years ago
88	cleaning up partman patch to exclude /cdrom device cleaning up partman patch to exclude /cdrom device	Rik Shaw	5 years ago
87	ensure /cdrom not considered for installation target ensure /cdrom not considered for installation target	Rik Shaw	5 years ago
