51. By Colin Watson on 2014-06-23

Add HTTPS support (LP: #1135163). This is enabled by default here as it
isn't unreasonably large, but won't be usable unless GNU wget has been
added to the initrd.

The fix in choose-mirror 2.39ubuntu3 for cases where the selected
country has no mirror broke preseeding of mirror/country=manual. Fix
that.

49. By Colin Watson on 2012-02-10

* Manage memory for 'country' variable more carefully.
* If the selected country has no mirror (excluding all-countries mirrors),
  then fall back to the default (LP: #919356).

48. By Colin Watson on 2012-01-26

Exclude all-countries mirrors such as ports.ubuntu.com when determining
whether there is a mirror in the country specified in
debian-installer/country (LP: #919356).

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Use Ubuntu mirrors.
  - Ubuntu branding.
  - Set default country to GB.
  - Never ask mirror/suite, mark it untranslatable, and give it
    appropriate choices for Ubuntu.
  - Pick CC.archive.ubuntu.com (for the country selected in the installer)
    as the default mirror. For ports architectures (armel, powerpc) use
    ports.ubuntu.com instead.
  - Drop the priorities of the country/mirror questions to medium if we're
    installing from a CD that includes the base system.
  - Support setting OVERRIDE_BASE_INSTALLABLE in the environment to force
    choose-mirror to assume that the base system is installable.
  - Skip mirror validation if the base system is installable and we're
    installing from a mirror in the masterlist.
  - Don't check if archive.ubuntu.com is reachable before asking for a
    proxy.
  - Allow preseeding the default CC.archive.ubuntu.com setup by preseeding
    mirror/http/mirror to CC.archive.ubuntu.com, and likewise for
    mirror/ftp/mirror.
  - Force xgettext to use UTF-8 encoding when generating templates files,
    to cope with Côte d'Ivoire.
  - Only default mirror/country to the value of debian-installer/country
    if the latter has any mirrors; otherwise, fall through to defaulting
    to GB.
* Switch to precise by default.
* Add armhf support.

Only default mirror/country to the value of debian-installer/country if
the latter has any mirrors; otherwise, fall through to defaulting to GB
(LP: #756719).

44. By Colin Watson on 2011-04-14

Record a dummy "GB" entry in templates files for non-country-specific
mirrors (i.e. ports.ubuntu.com) so that ports installations have more
choices than just "enter information manually" (LP: #756719).
