2020-03-11remove obsolete fdisk hackLyndon Brown
8321653cb36511324d576e65cb13b5c9b0c5f438 (from 2007) introduced a hack to work around bug #445304 in gnu-fdisk for users who may have replaced fdisk with the classic gnu version. the hack allowed users to select an alternate fdisk binary to use to work around the buggy binary. bug #445304 is marked as found in v1.0-1 and fixed in v1.2-1, though may have been fixe din v1.1. it was marked fixed in 2009. checking the package archive, gnu-fdisk does not actually exist anymore in debian, with one exception - it is available for arm64 on sid via debports, and that version is 1.3 so thus includes the necessary fix anyway. it is thus pointless now that we still carry this hack.

2020-03-11"Live Systems" -> "Debian Live"Lyndon Brown
2020-03-11amend copyright & licensing blocksLyndon Brown
Current versions of the project files are built upon versions published and licensed by Daniel Baumann, but are modified copies of those files and thus need to be marked as such per licensing requirements (afaik he did not pass along ownership / licensing rights to anyone when he left the project). We should also be careful to not be misrepresenting such modified copies as being attributed to Daniel. Adding a new copyright line referring to "The Debian Live team" should suffice for this. The authorship block in man pages has also similarly been updated. Notes: - tweaked a copy of daniel copyright lines stating 2014 instead of 2015. both of these cases were in files that i had personally introduced in some of my past merged commits that moved some code around. i don't know why they stated 2014. - binary_onie was introduced in 2018, so that has a 2018 date instead of 2016 unlike the rest. - 'efi-image' is a 3rd-party (Canonical Ltd) work that we bundle, but it has been modified by 674794a8f4d61a729d2dbd6d99385d2826138694 and 36a3ba76347ef72df1c316312ed3a26aa4b0c816 so I similarly added a debian live copyright line. - 'grub-cpmodules' is similar. it was only changed by the indentation fix of 36a3ba76347ef72df1c316312ed3a26aa4b0c816 but modification is modification, and this does help cover any possible future changes that might be made.
2020-03-05config: rename --architectures to --architectureLyndon Brown
this has only ever supported specifying a single arch, thus was confusing being plural Gbp-Dch: Short Closes: #952892
2020-03-05simplify --debian-installer choicesjnqnfe
`false` and `none` make no sense as choices for this option. Here we replace `false` with `none`, and remove `true`. Note that `true` was treated as an alias for netinst (see the changes to source_disk and and binary_disk). For backwards compatibility we still allow `true` and `false` by converting them to `netinst` and `none` respectively, whilst printing a warning to encourage users to move to `netinst`/`none`. Gbp-Dch: Short Closes: #952864

2020-03-05manpage: separate first and secondary build commandsLyndon Brown
`lb build` is a top level command and the one most users will want. listing the secondary component build stages alongside it just confuses things. here we clarify things by moving the second-level build stages to a separate list. Gbp-Dch: Short

2019-12-19Support --distribution-binary and --distribution-chrootRaphaƫl Hertzog
This makes it possible to build an image against a first distribution (--distribution-chroot) and have the resulting image point to another distribution (--distribution-binary). We can use this to build against a snapshot and have the result use the original distribution that was snapshotted. Closes: #888507
