debian/dmraid2mdadm.cfg: Only append to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT one
time. (LP: #1465567)

72. By Dimitri John Ledkov on 2014-04-30

Instead of calling update-grub in postinst, call update-grub2. (LP:
#1285312) Although machines installed in this decade would have
grub2's update-grub, this is not the case for machines upgraded into
this decade from e.g. 8.04 LTS in which case update-grub would be
grub1 with which this package doesn't integrate any more. All users
who have not yet upgraded to grub2 are urged to upgrade to grub
following instructions at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Upgrading

Don't fail package configure if update-grub fails for any reason,
e.g. not use. (LP: #1284514)

70. By Dimitri John Ledkov on 2014-02-18

* Drop precise-sru-reverts.patch, which disabled imsm/ddf raid assembly.
* Take kernel cmdline parameters "nomdmonisw" and "nomdmonddf" into
  account, when assembling imsm/ddf arrays. This defaults to assembling
  those arrays using mdmon/mdadm, with a fallback to dmraid upon
  request.
* Add breaks on dmraid, of versions that assemble fakeraid devices by
  default.
* Drop degraded array questions, since the degraded check results in
  false negatives (e.g. all drives present & started arrays, yet
  resyncing) assemble arrays as best as is possible. (LP: #1279741)
* Use default/grub.d snippet to continue using dmraid to assemble
  fakeraid arrays.

Remove the corr-ect unused conffile. (LP: #1127867)

* Implement plymouth hooks for degraded RAID questions. (LP: #1102499)
* Merged Intel Matrix Storage initramfs support.
* Merge from Debian, remaining delta is still the same:
  - Call checks in local-premount to avoid race condition with udev
    and opening a degraded array.
  - debian/initramfs/local-premount: add call wait_for_udev to wait a
    little longer for RAID devices to appear (LP: #942106)
  - d/initramfs/mdadm-functions: Record in /run when boot-degraded
    question has been asked so that it is only asked once
  - pass --test to mdadm to enable result codes for degraded arrays.
  - debian/control: we need udev and util-linux in the right version. We
    also remove the build dependency from quilt and docbook-to-man as both
    are not used in Ubuntus mdadm.
  - debian/initramfs/hook: kept the Ubuntus version for handling the absence
    of active raid arrays in <initramfs>/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
  - debian/initramfs/script.local-top.DEBIAN, debian/mdadm-startall,
    debian/mdadm.raid.DEBIAN: removed. udev does its job now instead.
  - debian/mdadm-startall.sgml, debian/mdadm-startall.8: documentation of
    unused startall script
  - debian/mdadm.config, debian/mdadm.postinst - let udev do the handling
    instead. Resolved merge conflict by keeping Ubuntu's version.
  - debian/mdadm.postinst, debian/mdadm.config, initramfs/init-premount:
    boot-degraded enablement; maintain udev starting of RAID devices;
    init-premount hook script for the initramfs, to provide information at
    boot
  - debian/mkconf.in is the older mkconf. Kept the Ubuntu version.
  - debian/rules: Kept Ubuntus version for installing apport hooks, not
    installing un-used startall script.
  - debian/install-rc, check.d/_numbers, check.d/root_on_raid: Ubuntu partman
    installer changes
  - debian/presubj: Dropped this unused bug reporting file. Instead use
    source_mdadm.py act as an apport hook for bug handling.
  - d/p/debian-changes-3.1.4-1+8efb9d1ubuntu4: mdadm udev rule
    incrementally adds mdadm member when detected. Starting such an
    array in degraded mode is possible by mdadm -IRs. Using mdadm
    -ARs without stopping the array first does nothing when no
    mdarray-unassociated device is available. Using mdadm -IRs to
    start a previously partially assembled array through incremental
    mode. Keeping the mdadm -ARs for assembling arrays which were for
    some reason not assembled through incremental mode (i.e through
    mdadm's udev rule).
  - udev-md-raid.rules to not auto-start arrays based on detection
    of ddf or isw (imsm) signatures; this conflicts with dmraid usage in
    precise and requires more analysis before it can be enabled in SRU.

* Merged in Debian:
  - Copy udev rule from /etc/udev/rules.d/ as well as the
    /lib/udev/rules.d/, to allow local administrator to override mdadm
    rules file.

Applying relevant changes from precise SRU:
udev-md-raid.rules to not auto-start arrays based on detection
of ddf or isw (imsm) signatures; this conflicts with dmraid usage in
precise and requires more analysis before it can be enabled in SRU.
LP: #1030292. Thanks to Steve Langasek.

Copy udev rule from /etc/udev/rules.d/ as well as the
/lib/udev/rules.d/, to allow local administrator to override mdadm
rules file (LP: #1017407)

* Merge from Debian testing. (LP: #920324) Remaining changes:
  - Call checks in local-premount to avoid race condition with udev
    and opening a degraded array.

* Additional Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/initramfs/local-premount: add call wait_for_udev to wait a
    little longer for RAID devices to appear (LP: #942106)

* Dropped Ubuntu changes:
  - Build udeb with -O2 on ppc64, working around a link error. Builds
    fine without it on debian.
  - rename debian/mdadm.vol_id.udev to debian/mdadm.mdadm-blkid.udev so
    that the rules file ends up with a more reasonable name. debian/rules
    changes for adding ubuntu's udev rule corresponding to mdadm. As we
    are now using 'upstream' udev rules see 3.2.3-2ubuntu2.

* Changes to Ubuntu changes:
  - debian/source_mdadm.py: make apport hook python 2 and 3 compatible
    (LP: #1013171).

* New upstream release closes this bugs:
  - mdadm --detail --scan segfaults during update-initramfs (LP: #969384)

64. By Dimitri John Ledkov on 2012-05-21

* Minimizing the merge-diff from Debian:
  + debian/rules, debian/mdadm.udev, debian/mdadm.mdadm-blkid.udev:
    Drop our own udev rules in favour of upstream's. Debian did so in
    3.0~devel3-43-g2800528-1. Upstream's rules have everything we had.
    (LP: #1002357, LP: #968074)
  + debian/initramfs/hooks: Update to copy only the new/correct udev rules
    file.
  + debian/rules: Remove pointless diff against debian. And now mdmon
  installs itself (LP: #957494).

* debian/patches/series: Remove `disable-udev-incr-assembly.diff' to
  enable incremental assembly, now that we are using upstream rules & we
  always had incremental assembly enabled.

* Fixing lintian tags, that are introduced in Ubuntu:
  + debian/source_mdadm.py: fix executable-not-elf-or-script
  + debian/changelog: correct trailer formating of acient changelog entry
