25 fai (3.2.10) unstable; urgency=low
26
27 * add texlive-latex-recommended and texlive-fonts-recommended to
28 build-depends-indep which fixes FTBFS (closes: #497683),
29 add cfengine2 as recommends to fai-client (closes: #442843),
30 remove mknbi from fai-docs recommends
31 * Init.pm: really add important bugfix (494784) that was only fixed in svn
32 but not in 3.2.9 upload (closes: #494784), fix typo in variable name
33 * Volume.pm: ignore output line of parted containing "Model:"
34 (closes: #497066)
35 * disk-info: fix bashism (closes: #498023),
36 add pattern for KVM devices like /dev/vd[abcd]X (closes: #494426)
37 * Makefile,VERSION: remove variable KERNELVERSION, because it's unused since
38 3.2 (closes: #494699)
39 * fai-cd: do not redirect stderr to /dev/null when calling find_fai_data,
40 otherwise we do not get any errors when the grub call fails

42 (closes: #439101),

46 well and /var/run/fai is probably the least critical place
47 (closes: #494423)

49 page (it only works with fai-kernels which were removed from lenny)
