palo (1.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed argument checking in palo.c
Originally you could specify a kernel command line of up to 255
characters, but in reality the firstblock structure could only
hold 127. The check in palo.c has been changed to 127.
* These changes relate to:
- Build palo without kernel header source
Removed conditional header includes depending on kernel version
Removed the include for fs.h since we don't really need it.
- ./ipl/ext2.c
Removed the include for time.h since we don't really need it.
- ./ipl/ipl.c
Added ./include/asm and ./include/linux/byteorder to accomodate
for all the new asm/* and linux/byteorder/* header files that
were required to build palo without kernel headers.
* Changes in this update done by Carlos O'Donell

palo (1.0) unstable; urgency=low
* package override has been fixed so debian/rules changes should
now be honored, causing palo to be built on all architectures
priority optional
* closes: 140580

palo (0.94) unstable; urgency=low
* Add support for symlinks so we can reference /boot/vmlinux in palo.conf
and not have to rerun palo on every kernel upgrade.(Richard Hirst)
* Move iplboot into /usr/share/palo.(Richard Hirst)
* Only generate iplboot if building on hppa machines. debian-cd needs
palo, and is likely to be run on i386.(Richard Hirst)
* --bootloader now defaults to /usr/share/palo/iplboot so is usually
not required. Adjusted documents slightly to accomodate.
* add postinstall/prerm scripts to handle changed iplboot location
-- Paul Bame <bame@debian.org> Sat, 8 Sep 2001 12:32:21 -0600
palo (0.93) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix boot loader "guess" logic to be smarter on dual-width-capable
machines when only one kernel is available.
* Remove a couple of gratuitous printfs
* Archive link palo. Not a bad idea otherwise but required because
dpkg-shlibdeps started whining. I'm sure I'll get grief for this.
-- Paul Bame <bame@debian.org> Wed, 11 Jul 2001 11:00:17 -0600
palo (0.92) unstable; urgency=low
* Removed SOM loader code
* If the user hasn't specified one, palo/ipl adds the correct console=
to the command line based on whether the boot console is full
(ttyS0, serial) or half (tty0, graphics) duplex. Also adds sti=
and sti_font= if they're missing.
* Palo header version is now 3. Can store both a 32 and a 64-bit kernel
in the F0/sequential/CDROM formats.
* When booting from F0/sequential/CDROM palo guesses the 32/64-ness
by asking firmware if the user doesn't specify 0/vmlinux64 or 0/vmlinux32.
On boxes which support both 32 and 64, 32 is chosen.
* If no TERM= in kernel cmd line, when guessing serial/sti, add TERM=vt102
for former and TERM=linux for latter
* Print boot command line even in non-interactive mode
* Place kernels and ramdisks on 2k boundaries on sequential media to help
avoid reverse seeks during boot.

palo (0.91) unstable; urgency=high
* Fixed check which causes some narrow IPL loads to fail
-- Paul Bame <bame@debian.org> Tue, 29 May 2001 11:39:23 -0600
palo (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
* Added support for calling PDC/IODC in wide mode (i.e., for
Superdome). PALO ipl continues to run in narrow mode on all
platforms, except that PDC/IODC calls are made in the mode ipl was
started in.
-- Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn_helgaas@hp.com> Tue, 15 May 2001 13:17:21 -0600
palo (0.89) unstable; urgency=high
* Palo can now prepare disks >2G on 32-bit kernels (even though it
is not using large file I/O calls, which are not useful yet anyway).
(fixes bugs.parisc-linux.org #125)
* fixed bugs.parisc-linux.org #89
-- Paul Bame <bame@debian.org> Fri, 11 May 2001 19:07:18 -0600
palo (0.88) unstable; urgency=high
* Fix several lintian bugs by uncommenting 2 lines in debian/rules
-- Paul Bame <bame@debian.org> Fri, 11 May 2001 16:07:18 -0600
* No longer ship /etc/palo.conf as config file -- expect installer
to provide one now. Example in /usr/share/doc/palo. Should have
some post-install magic to offer to run palo if /etc/palo.conf
exists, and a complaint if /etc/palo.conf doesn't exist because
you should have one from running the installer.
* Changed palo to a native Debian package since it's maintained
as one.
palo (0.86-1) unstable; urgency=high
* Probably required to support later non-0xc0100000 kernels

palo (0.85-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Initial Release.
