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.

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.

  [ 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

    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

 -- 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).

    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.

 -- 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 (1.43) 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

os-prober (1.41) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Joey Hess ]

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.

  * 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    - 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.

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.

    - 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.

    - 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.

      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.

      difference between that and hfsplus.
    - Add count to Mac OS X labels; change loader type to macosx.
    - Add myself to Uploaders.
