Subject: fstab should start out nicely formatted with tabs
Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 20:49:08 +0100
Package: rootdisk
Version: 28/05/1997

After installing 1.3 I went to edit the fstab and found that
everything was all jumbled up and that no tabs had been used.

IMO tabs should be used throughout instead of spaces, and preferably
the right number of tabs to keep things lined up should be calculated.

Ian.

Ho hum.  Another religious war.  I pledge alegience to spaces.

Can we close this bug and start a discussion on spaces vs. tabs in
debian devel?  I don't see a solution to this religious debate :(

Subject: bugs fixed in boot-floppies 2.2.4
Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2000 14:52:09 -0500
Thank you for your bug report.  The bug should have been closed by
boot-floppies version 2.2.4, now in unstable (for i386, others
following shortly).  Let us know if you have any more problems.

.....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>

Changes: boot-floppies (2.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
  * fdisk: using the 2.2 features of the /proc file-system, we should be
    able to detect any and all kernel-supported r/w random-access devices
  * dbootstrap: installation via HTTP method (net-fetch) added; messages
    not yet tuned, this method should work fine but might not look pretty
    yet
  * dbootstrap: look for files and stuff in
    dists/potato/main/disks-%s/current where %s is the architecture name
  * busybox: more updates, fixing some critical problems in tar (setuid
    not respected, files with symlinks to them (i.e. libc) set to 777),
    cp, and mv didn't work for directories; fix problem where symlink
    targets were made world-writable (!)
  * dbootstrap: when writing /etc/fstab, use tabs (closes: Bug#11926,
    Bug#36657)
  * dbootstrap: add commented out /dev/pts example to /etc/fstab
    (closes: Bug#33950)
  * dbootstrap: don't ask about GMT or not on m68k; when we *do* ask about
    it, do it in one dialog box, not two; look for UTC not GMT in
    /etc/default/rcS (closes: Bug#48866)
  * base: remove setserial from sparc platform
  * base: add xviddetect, and pciutils -- these are not yet integrated,
    however; debconf-tiny integration put off due to critical
    perl-5.005-base bugs
  * rescue: rdev.sh handles an alternate kernel location as an optional
    argument (closes: Bug#27650)
  * dbootstrap: ask when mke2fs'ing whether to use 2.2 specific features
    (closes: Bug#47490)
  * dbootstrap: change the wording of the name server selection
    (closes: Bug#23337); many other wording changes
  * dbootstrap: don't put `vga=normal' in the default lilo.conf since it
    apparently breaks MDA graphics cards (closes: Bug#35873)
  * top-level Makefile: check for dependancies by examining
    /var/lib/dpkg/status instead of running `dpkg --get-selections' since
    the latter only shows whether a package is *selected* for installation
    (closes: Bug#52596)
  * scripts/basedisks/new_root_home/.bash_profile: trap `:' instead of `""'
    so that children don't ignore the signals (closes: Bug#21867)
  * dbootstrap: be more specific when prompting for floppies
    (closes: Bug#48779)
  * debian/rules: scrub /usr/src/boot-floppies.tar.gz more, removing wierd
    ownership and permissions
