Subject: Create ubd devices for UML

Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2004 12:41:35 -0700

Package: base-installer
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

With this patch, base-installer will create the necessary ubd devices so
that UML can boot from the installed system.  They are not created by
debootstrap or makedev by default, so they will not exist unless explicitly
created.  Behaviour with the patch is only different if the installation is
happening under UML.

Description: 
 base-installer - Install the base system (udeb)
Closes: 258307 277949
Changes: 
 base-installer (1.19) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Colin Watson
     - Start run-debootstrap progress bar at the appropriate waypoint rather
       than going back to the start (closes: #277949).
     - In templates, say "install the base system" rather than "install
       Debian", and "the base system" rather than "the Debian base system",
       to help with derivative distribution branding.
     - Make apt-get use gpgv --ignore-time-conflict to avoid validation
       errors with apt 0.6 due to clock problems (Ubuntu #8496).
   * Matt Zimmerman
     - Create ubd devices in create_devices() if installing under UML
       (closes: #258307).
