os-prober (1.17) unstable; urgency=low

  * Check for both upper and lowercase filenames when detecting Windows
    NT/XP/2000. Thanks to Thanatermesis.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Tue, 27 Feb 2007 20:16:49 +0100

os-prober (1.16) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Support for recognising Pardus linux.

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Skip grub entries that have "module" lines as we currently don't support
    those. Based on #399882 where they were used for entries related to Xen.
  * Support for recognizing Kanotix linux.
  * Add support for probing other operating systems on LVM partitions. This
    will only work if LVM support has already been loaded. Closes: #277901.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Tue, 20 Feb 2007 12:57:42 +0100

os-prober (1.15) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Discard stderr from udevinfo call in parse_proc_mdstat.

  [ Fabio M. Di Nitto ]
  * Nuke os-probes/x86. Empty useless dir.
  * Use -qs to grep and avoid an annoying warning when running os-probes.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Thu, 21 Dec 2006 16:29:06 +0100

os-prober (1.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use udevinfo if available in parse_proc_mdstat to figure out whether a
    device is a partition.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Tue, 29 Aug 2006 11:27:47 +0100

os-prober (1.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add support for detecting Windows Vista/Longhorn.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Tue, 25 Jul 2006 13:06:13 +0200

os-prober (1.12) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Patch from VMiklos to sed off (hdn,n) from the front of a kernel path,
    as seen in SuSE grub configs. 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.

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Old-style options for head/tail are no longer supported by new busybox.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Fri, 12 May 2006 15:26:30 +0200

os-prober (1.09) unstable; urgency=low

  * To make it easier to use os-prober outside d-i, add a mapdevfs shim and
    avoid using anna-install if it isn't present.
  * Fix count_for to avoid failing outside d-i if /var/lib/os-prober/labels
    is missing.
  * Look for partitions in /sys/block if /dev/discs isn't present.
  * Add /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL reference to debian/copyright.
  * Rename os-prober to os-prober-udeb (leaving a Provides: behind) and
    create an os-prober deb.
  * Avoid yaboot probe failing outside d-i due to archdetect being missing.
  * Don't install /var/lib/os-prober/mount in either binary package, just
    /var/lib/os-prober; the former will be created/removed on the fly
    anyway.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Thu,  8 Dec 2005 02:58:36 +0000

os-prober (1.08) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Install necessary kernel modules on the fly using anna-install, rather
    than depending on them. Requires anna >= 1.16.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Tue, 15 Nov 2005 20:37:52 +0100

os-prober (1.07) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Matt Kraai ]
  * Add support for QNX.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Mon, 26 Sep 2005 17:18:18 +0200

os-prober (1.06) unstable; urgency=low

  * Frans Pop
    - Make idempotent by deleting files in /var/lib/os-prober/ on start
      (resets count_next_label).
    - Properly determine whether partitions are mounted or not by using
      mapdevfs to match device names. Closes: #251794, #251662.
    - Add dependency on di-utils-mapdevfs.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun,  1 May 2005 16:52:18 -0400

os-prober (1.05) unstable; urgency=low

  * Colin Watson
    - 'boot' is implicit at the end of a grub menu entry. Cope with it being
      missing (part of #258623).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sat, 26 Mar 2005 16:55:23 +0000

os-prober (1.04) unstable; urgency=low

  * Joey Hess
    - Fix micosoft and lsb tests to use count_next_label to get unique
      short labels. Closes: #299001

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 11 Mar 2005 14:06:00 -0500

os-prober (1.03) unstable; urgency=low

  * Joey Hess
    - Applied patch from Guillem Jover to detect many redhat derived
      distributions.
  * Frans Pop
    - Exclude partitions that are part of a software raid array.
      Closes: #273960.
    - Don't use the description from Windows' boot.ini if it contains
      non-ascii (or other unusual) characters. Closes: #293859.
  * Colin Watson
    - Probe ext3, xfs, and jfs modules too.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 11 Feb 2005 20:30:56 -0500

os-prober (1.02) unstable; urgency=low

  * Joshua Kwan
    - I don't have time to test/improve os-prober these days, so removing
      myself from Uploaders.
  * Colin Watson
    - Install i386 tests on amd64 too (closes: #261378).

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Thu, 21 Oct 2004 14:02:05 +0100

os-prober (1.01) unstable; urgency=low

  * Joey Hess
    - Applied patch from eddyp to parse boot.ini to determine correct names
      of modern versions of Windows. Closes: #275882

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed, 20 Oct 2004 15:20:12 -0400

os-prober (1.00) unstable; urgency=low

  * Joey Hess
    - Fedora uses a grub.conf. This may or may not be linked to menu.lst
      (unknown). Look for it if menu.lst is not found.
    - Gratuitous version number bump.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun,  3 Oct 2004 18:27:10 -0400

os-prober (0.14) unstable; urgency=low

  * Joey Hess
    - It's actually allowed and common for /etc/lsb-release to not include a
      DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION or DISTRIB_CODENAME, so don't call such distros
      "Unknown semi-LSB-compliant Linux distribution", just skip to the next
      test. This affected FC2.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri, 27 Aug 2004 12:57:06 -0400

os-prober (0.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * Giuseppe Sacco
    - Added preliminary test for Solaris/IA32. Closes: #255206
  * Joey Hess
    - Add support for fstabs with UUIDs or disk labels. Closes:#257794
    - In fallback os-prober test, skip over symlinks, since they could point
      from root into /boot or result in confusing duplicate entries.
      Closes: #258624
    - Make the fallback os-prober really find kernels matched by globs.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 10 Jul 2004 14:32:17 -0400

os-prober (0.12) unstable; urgency=low

  * Colin Watson
    - Fix syntax error in already-mounted case.
    - Cope with empty initrd parameter in yaboot.conf parser.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 12 May 2004 01:16:05 +0100

os-prober (0.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * Colin Watson
    - Make linux-distro test work on architectures that don't have
      /lib/ld-linux.so* (closes: #244076).
    - Fix a typo in the yaboot parser.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun,  9 May 2004 16:35:43 +0100

os-prober (0.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * Colin Watson
    - Restore module dependencies, using debian/module-depends.$(ARCH).
      Closes: #246700
  * Joey Hess
    - Have os-prober run mounted tests on partitions that are already
      mounted (skipping /  and /target). Closes: #247080

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue,  4 May 2004 20:52:29 -0400

os-prober (0.09) unstable; urgency=low

  * Guillem Jover
    - Added more distros support.
  * Joey Hess
    - Use just "Windows" as the shortname for Windows 2k/NT/XP.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Thu, 22 Apr 2004 12:07:11 -0400

os-prober (0.08) unstable; urgency=low

  * Joey Hess
    - Initialise variables in lilo and grub probes, to avoid inheriting
      settings for things like $initrd from the kernel command line.
      This fixes processing of things like lilo.conf stanzas that do not set
      an initrd. Thanks to Frans Pop.
    - Add some extra debug logging.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Tue, 20 Apr 2004 16:40:16 -0400

os-prober (0.07) unstable; urgency=low

  * Colin Watson
    - Add a Mac OS 6-9 check for powerpc. This is currently a copy of the
      m68k version with a different loader name for yaboot's benefit, which
      may not be ideal ...
    - Send modprobe's standard output to syslog so that it doesn't confuse
      programs parsing os-prober's output.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Sun, 18 Apr 2004 11:23:51 +0100

os-prober (0.06) unstable; urgency=low

  * Colin Watson
    - Add a Linux boot probe for /etc/yaboot.conf.
    - Make sure hfs is available for the Mac OS 9 check.
    - Delay hfs until last in mounted checks so that we can tell the
      difference between that and hfsplus.
    - Add count to Mac OS X labels; change loader type to macosx.
    - Add myself to Uploaders.

 -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>  Wed, 14 Apr 2004 01:15:53 +0100

os-prober (0.05) unstable; urgency=low

  * Joey Hess
    - Fix broken mounting of /boot partitions.
    - Fix grub probe to support systems that have /boot on a separate
      partition, by looking for kernels in /boot as well.
    - Same for initrds.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat, 10 Apr 2004 16:06:49 -0400

os-prober (0.04) unstable; urgency=low

  * Joey Hess
    - Return "hurd" as the OS type for hurd, rather than "multiboot".
      The latter is not enough info to boot the hurd.
    - Fix broken hurd detection.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Fri,  9 Apr 2004 22:18:54 -0400

os-prober (0.03) unstable; urgency=low

  * Joshua Kwan
    - Allow for unique short names via functions in new common.sh library.
    - Revamp all the dh_install stuff.
    - Use /var/lib/os-prober as our sandbox.
  * Colin Watson
    - Add Mac OS X probing support.
  * Joey Hess
    - Added linux-boot-prober, with sorta working support for grub.
    - Reorg the probes, and move to /usr/lib.
    - Remove broken depends line.
    - Add a linux boot probe that searches for kernels and initrds with no
      bootloader config file, as a fallback.
    - Add a linux boot probe that parses /etc/lilo.conf.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Wed,  7 Apr 2004 21:40:39 -0400

os-prober (0.02) unstable; urgency=low

  * Include init dir in the udeb.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sun,  4 Apr 2004 00:43:12 -0500

os-prober (0.01) unstable; urgency=low

  * Initial Release.

 -- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>  Sat,  3 Apr 2004 23:45:29 -0500
