chroot- install. xml: Revert Ubuntu delta about setting UTC in
/etc/default/rcS instead of /etc/adjtime. (LP: #1541532) - 531. By Steve Langasek
-
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- Extensive (although possibly incomplete) Ubuntu branding, adjustments
for our mirror layout, etc.
- Build only English (for now, until we figure out how to avoid trashing
translations quite so badly with Ubuntu branding etc.).
- Drop build-dependency on poxml for now, since we don't ship any
translations.
- Add "Ubuntu and Debian" and "What is Ubuntu?" section, text borrowed
from the Ubuntu web site. Disable the "What is Debian GNU/Linux?"
section.
- Build only Ubuntu architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc,
ppc64el, s390x).
- Direct installation reports to ubuntu-users for now.
- Document mounting /sys in various places.
- Update chroot-install guide for language packs; add
a bit more advice about installing grub.
- Document our root password and sudo arrangements.
- Adjust various memory and disk space requirements. Talk about the
default Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu tasks rather than Debian tasks.
- Document network-console/ authorized_ keys_url feature
- Document mirror/udeb/components .
- Document scheme for preseeding the use of CC.archive.ubuntu. com
mirrors.
- Document how to override the weak password check.
- Document preseeding user-setup's home directory encryption facility.
- Document new simplified partman preseeding.
- Document partman-auto-lvm/ guided_ size.
- Document partman/default_ filesystem.
- Document live-installer/net-image.
- Improve examples of tasksel/first preseeding to avoid mentioning
standard, which is installed by default.
- Document pkgsel/update- policy.
- Document pkgsel/updatedb.
- Document apt-setup/security_ path.
- Disable documentation of win32-loader.
- Document netboot-style USB images. Still mention the hd-media images,
but they're downplayed since many USB sticks are too small for a full
Ubuntu ISO image.
- Retain delta for commented-out OldWorld Mac support because it's easier
than reverting it; but at this point OldWorld Macs will almost
certainly never be supported in Ubuntu or Debian.
- Remove comments about automatic installation methods that have been
removed from Ubuntu.
- Document Kickstart installations.
- Unset supports-floppy- boot for all our architectures.
- Don't recommend passing http://archive. ubuntu. com/ubuntu to
debootstrap.
- Document that i586 processors and i686 without cmov are no longer
supported.
- Translate '&debian;' and '&debian-gnu;' xml entities to 'Ubuntu',
allowing us to significantly reduce the branding delta.
- Bump names for xenial.
- Bump kernelversion to 4.3.
- Disable all the documentation of loadlin, not just half of it.
- Never enable the "new-arch" status for any Ubuntu archs.
- Set the archive url dynamically based on the architecture, to cover
ports.u.c vs. archive.u.c. LP: #1391019.
- Revert installation guide changes that say to use /etc/adjtime instead
of etc/default/rcS; /etc/adjtime is evilbadwrong and not used in
Ubuntu.
- Don't include information about tasks that Ubuntu doesn't have.
* Revert the Debian change to mark "graphical install" as the default, which
is not a supported option on our d-i based images. - 527. By Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre
-
Replace -- with --- in details about how to pass parameters to the kernel
that need to be passed on to the installed system. - 526. By Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre
-
* Cherry-picked changes:
- Update documentation for changes to the multi partitioning scheme: /usr
is no longer made onto its own separate partition, but rather included
with /.
