os-prober (1.77) unstable; urgency=medium [ Cyril Brulebois ] * Update Vcs-{Browser,Git} to point to salsa (alioth's replacement). [ Philip Hands ] * Add CI configuration for gitlab [ Colin Watson ] * Change priority of os-prober binary package to optional, since "Priority: extra" is now deprecated. [ Holger Wansing ] * Remove trailing whitespaces from changelog file, to fix lintian tag. -- Holger Wansing <hwansing@mailbox.org> Sun, 23 Dec 2018 19:52:58 +0100 os-prober (1.76) unstable; urgency=medium [ Cyril Brulebois ] * os-probes/mounted/x86/05efi: Fix check on ID_PART_ENTRY_SCHEME, to look for "dos" instead of "msdos" (Closes: #817023). -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Wed, 28 Jun 2017 07:08:36 +0200 os-prober (1.75) unstable; urgency=medium * Remove code using device mapper (Closes: #860833, #853927, #853163). This code doesn't work in d-i and it has some issues outside d-i. All architectures can use the grub-mount codepath, which was already the default anyway. This also removes the dependency on dmsetup. -- Ivo De Decker <ivodd@debian.org> Mon, 01 May 2017 09:55:33 +0200 os-prober (1.74) unstable; urgency=high [ Ivo De Decker ] * os-probes/common/50mounted-tests: Skip partition when FS type is LVM2_member, since one isn't supposed to touch physical volumes directly. This avoids hanging during “dmcreate setup” with unencrypted LVM setups (Closes: #853277). -- Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> Wed, 01 Feb 2017 00:01:17 +0100 os-prober (1.73) unstable; urgency=medium [ Cyril Brulebois ] * Add support for Mageia, thanks to Neal Gompa (Closes: #851983). -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Sat, 21 Jan 2017 08:44:01 +0100 os-prober (1.72) unstable; urgency=medium * Improve logging of mounting and setting partitions to ro/rw (thanks, Ivo De Decker). * Use a read-only device-mapper entry if possible rather than setting the underlying device to read-only (thanks, Ivo De Decker; closes: #701814). Note that this introduces a dependency on dmsetup on Linux architectures. * Remove the "blockdev --setro" code path entirely, since the read-only device-mapper arrangement supersedes it and should be safer (closes: #648208). * Make os-prober-udeb depend on grub-mount-udeb on all Linux and kFreeBSD architectures, now that it's available on them all (thanks, James Cowgill; closes: #776275). * Make os-prober depend on grub-common on Linux and kFreeBSD, in order that grub-mount is consistently available. * Fix detection of /usr/ partition as a GNU/Linux root partition when /lib* directories are moved to /usr/ completely (thanks, Hedayat Vatankhah; closes: #698733). * Make the yaboot parser more tolerant about the syntax of "append" options (thanks, Hedayat Vatankhah; closes: #674561). * Disable debugging if OS_PROBER_DISABLE_DEBUG is set (thanks, Hedayat Vatankhah; closes: #698598). * Replace basename/dirname with shell string processing (thanks, Hedayat Vatankhah; part of #694668). * Call dmraid only once (thanks, Jeff Mahoney). * Fix typos in README (thanks, Nyav; closes: #803155). * Add os-release support (based loosely on a patch by Török Edwin; closes: #794409). * Add Devuan detection (thanks, David Hare; closes: #801631). * Work harder to avoid trying to mount extended partitions (thanks, Philippe Coval; closes: #784709). * Drop " (loader)" suffixes on Microsoft operating systems (thanks, Chris Lamb; closes: #787418). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Fri, 20 Jan 2017 12:44:34 +0000 os-prober (1.71) unstable; urgency=medium [ Cyril Brulebois ] * Add support for 4MLinux, thanks to Zbigniew Konojacki. [ Colin Watson ] * Use HTTPS for Vcs-* URLs, and link to cgit rather than gitweb. -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Sat, 30 Jan 2016 07:38:56 +0100 os-prober (1.70) unstable; urgency=medium [ Justus Winter ] * Fix hurd-any support: Test for /servers instead of /servers/exec to avoid starting an translator in the mounted system. Also, /hurd/init might be phased out at some point (Closes: #802053). -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Tue, 27 Oct 2015 06:45:58 +0100 os-prober (1.68) unstable; urgency=medium * Adjust extended dos partition support for blkid/util-linux 2.24+, thanks to Andreas Henriksson (Closes: #735169). * Add support for Windows 10 (otherwise reported as Windows Recovery Environment). Thanks, Philipp Wolfer! (Closes: #801278). -- Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> Thu, 08 Oct 2015 14:26:16 +0200 os-prober (1.67) unstable; urgency=medium [ James Clarke ] * rules: Use DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU instead of DEB_HOST_ARCH, and thus treat *-{i386,amd64} as x86 * Support probing on hurd-any. Closes: #799883. -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Wed, 30 Sep 2015 06:55:48 +0200 os-prober (1.66) unstable; urgency=medium * Add -a flag to grep -qs for Windows Vista detection. It appears the file isn't always considered as a text file, so this should be more robust. Thanks to Gianluigi Tiesi for the report and the suggestion (Closes: #791383). -- Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> Fri, 10 Jul 2015 01:34:23 +0200 os-prober (1.65) unstable; urgency=medium [ Steve McIntyre ] * Recognise the new ignore_uefi flag from partman-efi. -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Tue, 25 Nov 2014 17:41:06 +0000 os-prober (1.64) unstable; urgency=medium [ Frederic Bonnard ] * Add ppc64el support. Closes: #752416. -- Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org> Sun, 17 Aug 2014 23:36:52 +0200 os-prober (1.63) unstable; urgency=low [ Cyril Brulebois ] * Drop reiserfs, it's no longer supported. -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Tue, 23 Jul 2013 09:38:17 +0200 os-prober (1.62) unstable; urgency=low [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ] * Set debian source format to '3.0 (native)'. * Bump debhelper compat level to 9. * Set Vcs-* to canonical format. [ Christian Perrier ] * Update Standards to 3.9.4 (checked) -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:43:27 +0200 os-prober (1.61) unstable; urgency=low * Add an extra backslash to the code in parse_proc_mdstat to remove [...], so that it works properly in dash (thanks, John Ryan; LP: #905607). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Tue, 21 May 2013 22:57:42 +0100 os-prober (1.60) unstable; urgency=low * os-probes/mounted/x86/05efi: Handle the case where we used grub-mount to mount the EFI System Partition. -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Fri, 17 May 2013 13:02:41 +0100 os-prober (1.59) unstable; urgency=low [ Colin Watson ] * Fix cross-building and use dpkg-buildflags. -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Wed, 15 May 2013 17:36:49 +0200 os-prober (1.58) unstable; urgency=low [ Steve McIntyre ] * add UEFI support, patch from Andrey Borzenkov: + skip legacy MS loader detection on UEFI platform + add framework for searching EFI System Partition + add scripts that detect Microsoft bootloader and ELILO. * Add myself to uploaders. -- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:01:50 +0100 os-prober (1.57) unstable; urgency=low [ Christian Perrier ] * Deal with grub-probe exiting with non zero status on some devices, which in turns can stuck update-grub Closes: #680084 [ Joey Hess ] * Fix detection of Fedora and other distros that moved /lib into /usr and left behind a symlink. Grub's filesystem code does not support symlinks. Closes: #685159 Thanks Andreas Bombe for the patch. -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Sat, 22 Dec 2012 12:54:54 +0100 os-prober (1.56) unstable; urgency=low [ Hedayat Vatankhah ] * Add support for probing Fedora's location for the GRUB 2 configuration file (closes: #674560). [ Colin Watson ] * Fix the parsing code in the grub2 handler so that it no longer gets hopelessly confused by multiple single-quoted strings on the same line, as produced by GRUB 2.00. -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Mon, 17 Sep 2012 19:02:29 +0100 os-prober (1.55) unstable; urgency=low * Improve detection of Haiku: detect the 64-bit version Closes: #685228 * Add myself to Uploaders -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Sat, 25 Aug 2012 09:58:51 +0200 os-prober (1.54) unstable; urgency=low * Team upload [ Joey Hess ] * Avoid noise when /proc/swaps does not exist. Closes: #673566 -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:42:47 +0200 os-prober (1.53) unstable; urgency=low * Team upload * Use Package-Type instead of deprecated XC-Package-Type for os-prober-udeb * Add ${misc:Depends} to udeb dependencies * Link to explicit GPL-2 document in debian/copyright * sed off (hdn,n) from the front of an initrd path, as seen in Mandriva/Mageia grub configs. Thanks to François Jaouen and Barry Jackson for the patch Closes: #566102 -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Mon, 07 May 2012 22:37:20 +0200 os-prober (1.52) unstable; urgency=low [ Stéphane Graber ] * Add support for Windows 8. [ Colin Watson ] * Install README and TODO in the .deb. [ Joey Hess ] * Revert broken patch adding support for BSD distributions. Closes: #668860 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:50:38 -0400 os-prober (1.51) unstable; urgency=low [ Joey Hess ] * Relax the MS-DOS detection again now that it will not cause false positives for non-FAT filesystems. [ Colin Watson ] * Use 'type' rather than 'which' to test for grub-mount, as d-i doesn't have 'which'. Also test for grub-probe before using it, as that isn't currently in grub-mount-udeb and I'm going to need to add it (LP: #963471). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:47:04 +0100 os-prober (1.50) unstable; urgency=low [ Joey Hess ] * Clarify license version is GPL-2+, for all code written by Joey Hess, Colin Watson, Christian Perrier, Otavio Salvador and Joshua Kwan. The license had just been "GNU GPL"; other contributors to os-prober are encouraged to clarify which GPL versions apply to their code. [ Otavio Salvador ] * Add support to detect BSD systems. Thanks to Gavrilin Andrey for the patch (refs: #659208). [ Joey Hess ] * Avoid false positives in MS-DOS detection by also looking for autoexec.bat. Closes: #663540 [ Colin Watson ] * When using grub-mount, pass the GRUB filesystem type to individual tests rather than "fuseblk". Adjust a number of tests to handle GRUB filesystem names as well as OS names (closes: #663540, #663600). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Thu, 15 Mar 2012 13:52:30 +0000 os-prober (1.49) unstable; urgency=low [ Robert Millan ] * Depend on grub-mount-udeb only on architectures with FUSE support. [ Colin Watson ] * Restrict grub-mount-udeb dependency to architectures where grub-mount-udeb exists (closes: #639599). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:34:21 +0100 os-prober (1.48) unstable; urgency=low [ Colin Watson ] * Depend on grub-mount-udeb (see changelog for 1.45). * item_in_dir: return 1 immediately if second argument is not a directory (thanks, Daniel Richard G.; LP: #798447). [ Otavio Salvador ] * add MeeGo detection support; thanks to Chengwei Yang <chengwei.yang@intel.com> for the patch. * Fix Windows detection when there are more then one boot directories (e.g boot and Boot). Closes: #634649. -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> Sat, 23 Jul 2011 17:46:13 +0200 os-prober (1.47) unstable; urgency=low [ Joey Hess ] * Fix unwanted wildcard expansions. Closes: #624815 -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> Sun, 15 May 2011 17:49:10 -0300 os-prober (1.46) unstable; urgency=low * Correct syntax error in LFS detection. Closes: #623981 -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Mon, 25 Apr 2011 07:09:02 +0200 os-prober (1.45) unstable; urgency=low [ Matti Kurkela ] * Improve MS-DOS detection by using an absolute path when verifying that "dos" is a directory. [ Colin Watson ] * Fix fatal typo in QNX prober. * Use grub-mount if it exists. This lets us do true read-only mounts, and works better on journalling filesystems that were mounted uncleanly (LP: #683355). * Attempt to load the fuse module, to improve the chances of grub-mount working. [ Armin Krejzi ] * Add detection of Linux From Scratch distribution. Closes: #623939 -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Sun, 24 Apr 2011 20:02:10 +0200 os-prober (1.44) unstable; urgency=low * Team upload * Fix syntax errors in 83haiku and make it executable -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Fri, 18 Feb 2011 20:17:55 +0100 os-prober (1.43) unstable; urgency=low * Team upload [ Christian Perrier ] * Fix Gentoo detection (different name for kernel and initrd files). Thanks to caillean for the patch Closes: #611670 * Detect Haiku on BeFS partitions. Thanks to Jeroen Oortwijn for the proposed patch Closes: #590897 [ Joey Hess ] * 90fallback: Avoid ever accidentially identifying the same file as initrd and kernel. Closes: #612303 -- Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> Fri, 18 Feb 2011 06:02:22 +0100 os-prober (1.42) unstable; urgency=low [ Milan Kupcevic ] * Let yaboot linux-boot-prober work on all chrp machines. * Handle YDL initrd image in linux-boot-prober fallback test. -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> Fri, 24 Dec 2010 19:13:19 -0200 os-prober (1.41) unstable; urgency=low [ Joey Hess ] * Fix probes for MacOS 9 on m68k and powerpc. Closes: #604192 (Thanks, Milan Kupcevic) -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> Wed, 24 Nov 2010 09:58:18 -0200 os-prober (1.40) unstable; urgency=low [ Christian Perrier ] * Fix Windows Vista and Windows Recovery Environment partitions recognition. (Thanks, Bouke Bunnik) Closes: #589676, LP: #476625 * Allow recognition of recent MINIX installations. Thanks to Feiran Zheng Closes: #592924 [ Colin Watson ] * Improve error message when /sys/block is missing. * os-prober doesn't know how to probe other OSes on non-Linux kernels. For now, just exit quietly rather than confusing people (closes: #567953). * Ignore active swap partitions (thanks, Alex Owen; see #417407). * Refactor linux_mount_boot to look up labels and UUIDs using blkid or /dev/disk/by-*/ rather than relying on mount being smart enough. This removes some horrible code that executes mount from /target. * Set partitions read-only before mounting them (based on a patch by Alex Owen; closes: #417407, #556739, #599203). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Wed, 10 Nov 2010 11:51:19 +0000 os-prober (1.39) unstable; urgency=low [ Joey Hess ] * Fix FreeDOS test to use case-insensative filename lookup as was already done for all other DOS/Windows tests. Closes: #582257 (Thanks, Harald Dunkel) [ Colin Watson ] * Handle Dracut-generated initramfs names in linux-boot-prober fallback test (thanks, Piscium; LP: #420900). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:01:00 +0100 os-prober (1.38) unstable; urgency=low * Handle single-quoted items in grub.cfg; this has been part of the syntax for a while, but recently started being used upstream to avoid another bug. -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Fri, 16 Apr 2010 12:17:28 +0100 os-prober (1.37) unstable; urgency=low [ Frans Pop ] * 90linux-distro: also allow for lib32 and lib64 directories when looking for ld*.so*. With thanks to Maximilian Gerhard. Closes: #574407. [ Colin Watson ] * Detect Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, thanks to Thorsten. LP: #544117 * Detect Arch Linux initrds: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2 and http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/grub2/trunk/grubconfig.archlinux.patch indicate that /boot/vmlinuz26 is associated with /boot/kernel26.img. LP: #518826 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Tue, 13 Apr 2010 14:15:35 +0100 os-prober (1.36) unstable; urgency=low [ Colin Watson ] * Suppress tedious fd leak warnings from LVM tools. [ Frans Pop ] * Drop support for the discontinued lpia architecture. [ Christian Perrier ] * Properly quote variable in os-probes/mounted/x86. Thanks to Fabian Greffrath for the patch. Closes: #563825 [ Otavio Salvador ] * Applied patch from Brad Jorsch <anomie@users.sourceforge.net> to properly detect Windows' recovery partitions. Closes: #547382 [ Joey Hess ] * Load btrfs module if available. * Fix arbitrary code execution via eval. Closes: #569229 * Tighten up quoting of shell variables overall. * Avoid ever running mount command from filesystems being probed. Closes: #569222 * Avoid leaving a temporary mountpoint behind when exiting in some exceptional conditions. Closes: #569235 -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:50:17 -0300 os-prober (1.35) unstable; urgency=medium * Set LC_ALL=C when grepping out accented characters from Windows descriptions (LP: #438095). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Mon, 05 Oct 2009 23:12:11 +0100 os-prober (1.34) unstable; urgency=low * Only look for a smart version of mount if we're using busybox mount. In a normal system, mount probably already handles labels and UUIDs, and using mount from another filesystem is risky enough that it's worth avoiding if possible. * Memoise calls to 'basename $0' in log function. * Handle escaped special characters in /etc/fstab and /proc/mounts (LP: #433910). * dash defines test's -nt operator differently from bash, as it's entitled to do since this is an extension not defined in POSIX. If file1 exists and file2 does not, bash returns true but dash returns false. Don't rely on bash's behaviour when checking whether to use GRUB Legacy or GRUB 2 configuration files, otherwise we end up using neither when only one set of configuration exists and /bin/sh is dash. * Try to map LABEL= and UUID= ourselves in linux_mount_boot rather than relying on mount to do it, to further reduce the chance that we need to use mount from another filesystem. * If the filesystem identified by linux-boot-prober as /boot is already mounted somewhere else, then bind-mount it rather than trying to mount it again. -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:55:23 +0100 os-prober (1.33) unstable; urgency=low * Distinguish Windows 7, based on a patch from "mattduckman" (LP: #393565). * Don't try to mount LUKS partitions (thanks, Chow Loong Jin and Soren Hansen; closes: #546546, LP: #428785). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:02:45 +0100 os-prober (1.32) unstable; urgency=low * Pass arguments properly to newns (thanks, Roger E Critchlow Jr; LP: #426061). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:29:05 +0100 os-prober (1.31) unstable; urgency=low * Upgrade to debhelper v7. * Detect Acronis Secure Zone (thanks, Alexey Fisher; LP: #354334). * Run os-prober and linux-boot-prober in a private mount namespace if possible, to avoid desktop environments picking up the mounts. Thanks to Gabor Gombas for the suggestion. (Closes: #476184) * Use vol_id/blkid output if possible to avoid having to try every possible filesystem for every partition. This isn't actually very much faster for me, but it certainly cuts down on syslog noise. * Skip extended and swap partitions (closes: #511518). * Install Mac OS X probe on i386/amd64 too (LP: #353639). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 11:06:55 +0100 os-prober (1.30) unstable; urgency=low [ Colin Watson ] * Use result function in macosx prober, so that its output appears in syslog. * Quote arguments to tests, and in general quote mountpoints that were fetched from mounted-maps. I've seen the odd log with errors due to funny characters in mount points. [ Otavio Salvador ] * When there're both grub-legacy and grub2 configuration files available we ought to use the most recently changed. Closes: 534478 -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@ossystems.com.br> Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:22:09 -0300 os-prober (1.29) unstable; urgency=low [ Colin Watson ] * Merge from Ubuntu: - Load ext4 module if available. - Check dmraid's exit code rather than parsing its output. * Windows Vista has been released for some time now, so just call it that rather than "Vista/Longhorn". [ Frans Pop ] * Remove myself as uploader. -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Wed, 11 Mar 2009 16:45:32 +0000 os-prober (1.28) unstable; urgency=low [ Giuseppe Iuculano ] * Probe all partitions that are a part of active dmraid arrays. Patch based on work done by Luke Yelavich <themuso@ubuntu.com> in Ubuntu. -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> Sun, 21 Sep 2008 22:02:30 -0300 os-prober (1.27) unstable; urgency=low [ Joey Hess ] * Add support for detecting K-DEMar based on an example from Adonay Sanz. Closes: #485617 -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:33:43 -0300 os-prober (1.26) unstable; urgency=HIGH * Remove hardcoded line in grub2 that must have slipped in during testing. Closes: #476389 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:35:39 -0400 os-prober (1.25) unstable; urgency=low [ Frans Pop ] * Disable excessive debug messages when parsing grub configs (see #471501). [ Joey Hess ] * Warn if umount fails for some reason (such as a desktop environment keeping the mount point busy). * Avoid exiting test scripts when a umount fails, as that can result in incomplete OS detection, and does not result in os-prober as a whole failing. -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> Thu, 08 May 2008 13:31:46 -0300 os-prober (1.24) unstable; urgency=low [ Colin Watson ] * udev 117 merged all udev tools into a single binary called udevadm. Check for this and use it instead of udevinfo if available. [ Joey Hess ] * Avoid using log-output when run outside of d-i. * Add preliminary support for grub2's grub.cfg file. Closes: #464928 -- Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org> Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:23:52 -0200 os-prober (1.23) unstable; urgency=low * If fuseblk is in /proc/filesystems and ntfs-3g is present, try mounting filesystems as ntfs-3g. * Try finding a LABEL/UUID-capable /bin/mount in $tmpmnt as well as in /target. * Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately in the event that we have to use a foreign mount binary (LP: #145424). * Adjust Microsoft probe to cope with NTFS partitions appearing with type ntfs-3g. -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 15:20:17 +0000 os-prober (1.22) unstable; urgency=low [ Joey Hess ] * Call dh_md5sums. [ Jérémy Bobbio ] * Remove references to devfs-style device names in documentation and comments. [ Colin Watson ] * Accept fuseblk as well as fuse in the Microsoft probe. * Make sure to select only the first mountpoint for a given device (in case of bind mounts). * Treat the lpia architecture (used in the Ubuntu mobile project) as x86, since it is. -- Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org> Thu, 27 Sep 2007 18:43:50 +0200 os-prober (1.21) unstable; urgency=low [ Joey Hess ] * Remove the largely obsolete --mounted option. [ Colin Watson ] * Recognise filesystems of type 'fuse' as applicable to the Microsoft probe (thanks, Agostino Russo). * Handle vga= options in lilo.conf (LP: #59525). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Tue, 31 Jul 2007 17:03:10 +0100 os-prober (1.20) unstable; urgency=low * Skip grub-installer's "(on /dev/blah)" entries detected in GRUB configuration files, as if they're useful they will probably be found by another probe, and detecting them can result in exponential growth of menu.lst files if you do repeated test installs on multiple partitions. * Use readlink -f in mapdevfs shim so that os-prober runs outside d-i handle mount-by-UUID correctly. * Use mktemp -d rather than /tmp, to make use outside d-i safer. * Merge from Ubuntu: - Try to install fs-core-modules and fs-secondary-modules udebs. These are specific to the Ubuntu kernel udeb layout, but it's fairly cheap to check for them as well and saves on divergence here. - Add os-probes/mounted/sparc/80solaris to recognize Solaris/SPARC (Fabio M. Di Nitto). - Add linux-boot-probes/mounted/sparc/50silo support (Fabio M. Di Nitto). - Try to load ufs module, for Solaris support (Fabio M. Di Nitto). - Tighten check for whether we're running in d-i; anna-install isn't quite enough because if you're running d-i code outside d-i it's sometimes reasonable to install a shim for anna-install. * Don't probe partitions mounted on /target/boot. * Teach linux-boot-prober to deal with mounted partitions correctly, unless they're mounted on /, /target, or /target/boot (LP: #14780). This should largely obsolete the --mounted option. * Only use /target/bin/mount if it exists, in order to work better outside d-i. -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Thu, 26 Jul 2007 12:33:31 +0100 os-prober (1.19) unstable; urgency=low [ Joey Hess ] * Make the microsoft OS test completely case-insensative in the file and directory named it looks for. This is reportedly needed at least for Vista (Boot/BCD vs boot/bcd), and was already done on an ad-hoc basis for 2000/XP/NT4.0. * Patch from VMiklos to add support for recognising Frugalware. [ Frans Pop ] * Skip partitions on a physical disk that is part of a Serial ATA RAID disk. * Use log-output when checking for volume groups. * Also use the case insensitive test for Dell Utility partition detection. [ Fabio M. Di Nitto ] * Skip partitions that have the "whole_disk" sysfs attribute set. The kernel set the attribute for partitions like SUN Whole Disk. These partitions that encompass the whole disk can be mounted and often confused for the first partition on the disk. In situations where the OS is on the first partition, it would be detected twice in the first and the whole disk partition. -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org> Sat, 07 Jul 2007 20:11:49 +0200 os-prober (1.18) unstable; urgency=low * Add detection for Dell Utility partition (can be chainloaded).

Closes: #258623 although this is fixed imprefectly since it assumes stripping the string is enough. * Patch from VMiklos to not require an initrd be specified in the grub probe. * Patch from VMiklos to add --mounted option to linux-boot-prober. May not be useful for d-i but in other situations including for the Frugalware installer. [ Frans Pop ] * When parsing a lilo configuration, dereference symbolic links. Not doing this will break booting the old OS if the link was in / and there was a separate /boot partition. And grub in general prefers full paths. Closes: #259825. * Use environment variable to pass --mounted option to lower level scripts instead of perpetuating the parameter. * Add myself to uploaders. -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org> Fri, 23 Jun 2006 21:46:41 +0200 os-prober (1.11) unstable; urgency=low * Remove a useless debug message. -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 7 Jun 2006 22:10:10 -0400 os-prober (1.10) unstable; urgency=low [ Colin Watson ] * Drop os-prober's priority to extra to match overrides.
