+gbootroot (1.3.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Now the template called Helper.yard used to create the
+    root_fs_helper is included with root_fs_helper.
+  * 1.3.4 was awarded Editor's pick by SoftLandMark, but I recommend
+    upgrading  to 1.3.5 because of my oversight with the root_fs_helper
+    issue, as well as the improved initrd testing capability of the
+    specially patched  2.4.17-10um kernel.  I also recommend running
+    gbootroot as a normal user, at  least that's what I usually do. :)
+  * Root_fs_helper was working fine, but because I hadn't committed, let
+    alone  copied the new changes to CVS I didn't notice any aberrations
+    until I  installed the new released version of gbootroot.  This is
+    related to the new securretty requirements of uml.  Problem fixed.
+  * Initrd was not working with any fs other than ext2.  After
+    contacting the trinux-uml project, Matthew Franz <mfranz@cisco.com>
+    confirmed that he was having problems creating a working uml for the
+    initrd created by Bill Burdick <bill@appliedreasoning.com>.  I
+    talked Bill into sending me his uml .config, and narrowed down the
+    problem to cramfs.  Cramfs has known bugs as documented in the
+    kernel sources.  Because cramfs was placed before just about every
+    fs in the VFS check order, and trinux-uml's initrd  was minix, the
+    kernel failed, but an ext2 initrd didn't.  Changing the order  in
+    which filesystems are checked during the VFS stage by editing
+    fs/Makefile  solves the problem.  Thanks to Henrik Nordstrom
+    <hno@marasystems.com> for pointing out how to do this at user-mode-
+    linux-devel.  I am hoping the patch  found in user-mode-
+    linux/usr/lib/uml/cramfs-vfs-oder.patch becomes part of  uml.  This
+    should have been corrected ages ago in the standard Linux kernel.
+  * Removed unecessary warning which warned that left-hand side
+    replacements  couldn't be a directory if it happened to find that
+    directory on the hostfs. Directories can be replacements.
