Have not done much here since 2008. May come back later. :)

 check-missing-firmware: Use udpkg to get the contents of debs

In order to support other compression methods than gz.

Commit by joey :: r7aec64e udpkg/udpkg.c:

refactored and cleaned up compression type handling code

Commit by joey :: ra8a7f21 udpkg/ (debian/changelog udpkg.c):

 Add -c mode to list the files contained in a deb.

Unlike dpkg -c, this only lists the files, not other information.

This will be used by check_missing_firmware, which needs to look inside
debs and currently hardcodes support for only data.tar.gz.

 Revert broken patch adding support for BSD distributions. Closes: #668860

Note that this reverts some fixes Colin made to the files distributed
in #668860, which should be kept if anyone resuscitates this patch again.

Commit by joey :: rdaa802a debootstrap/ (debian/changelog functions):

 point users at the log file on error, try to show a package name too

When installation or configuration of a package fails, output a message
that points the user to the log file[1]. Attempt to grep out the first
package that dpkg failed on and show its name too. Closes: #472704

Sample:

W: Failure while configuring base packages.  This will be re-attempted up to five times.
W: See sid/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package libept1 is at fault)

This relies on the LANG=C currently set for the debootstrap run.
Changes to the "dpkg: error processing $PACKAGE" message would break
the package name extractor, but it'd fall back to not showing a
package name.

This adds cut to the set of utilities debootstrap uses, which shouldn't
be a problem.

[1] In d-i, debootstrap doesn't know where the log file is, but then
this message goes to the same syslog file, so I didn't add any special
handling for this case.

 Increase hd-media size to target 1 gb USB key.

The i386 netinst iso is now too large to fit on a 256 mb key. Closes: #666090

How large is what is marketed as a "1 gigabyte" USB key? I am unable to
check as even my lowest end (dispoable) keys are all at least 4 gb. So
I assumed the same fudge factor used for the 256 mb key.

 remove several files that are not distributed in the cabal tarball

This is around the third haskell package I've noticed is not distributing
in the tarball files like TODO and parts of its test suite.

Commit by joey :: r29c404f os-prober/ (2 files in 2 dirs):

 Avoid false positives in MS-DOS detection by also looking for autoexec.bat. Closes: #663540

/dos is not an unheard of directory to have on a linux system -- we used
to put our dual-boot mount point there in 1995 -- and when mounted by
grub-mount, the filesystem type is not available to limit detection of
MS-DOS to only relevant filesystems.

Work around this problem by also requiring an /autoexec.bat or a
/config.sys. While not all MS-DOS systems have one of these files,
any MS-DOS system that a user is likely to care about showing up
in their boot menu probably does.
(IIRC not all MS-DOS systems even have a /dos!)

I also took a brief look at the other tests that allows fuse mount through.
Many of them, like 83haiku check for enough different items that the
chances of a false positive are very low even absent a filesystem type
confirmation. The most worrying are 20macosx, which only checks for
/mach_kernel, and 30utility, which only checks for /f11.sys.

Those should probably be tightened down, or a way found to check the actual
filesystem type when using grub-mount.
