2b47da9852 fixed stage1 for syslinux.iso
squashcfk.mk is not to be attempted to copy unconditionally,
if we've got no kernel for stage2 there's no data (and hook)
to create it there

f5a8b89381 stage2 based live subprofiles, updated docs
- introduced generic stage2 subprofile (non-standalone)
- ported installer and rescue over to stage2/{install2,rescue}
- initial stage2/live (needs more work for sure)
- use make-initrd-propagator
- updated and somewhat extended doc/

NB: mind #26133, #26134

0e57149de9 initial rescue image
NB: this implementation is awfully cut-n-paste one,
there are lots of common code with install2
which are subject to careful surgery

5569b4fce1 prepare for multiple live images
s,INSTALLER_KFLAVOUR,STAGE1_KFLAVOUR,g
s,INSTALLER_KMODULES,STAGE1_KMODULES,g

install2 isn't the only livecd around;
so far all of these share the same kernel
in m-p-d, and we'd rather need two+ kernels
with dual-arch media or so; let's not complicate
things too much at this point

878abab5ce clean.mk and friends: introduced CLEAN control variable
make CLEAN=1 will prune workdirs after packing their results,
so disk (or preferably tmpfs) usage will be lower

20844de700 rough bootloader selection draft (grub/lilo)
NB: needs installer-distro-altlinux-generic = 6.0-alt2
    as it doesn't require alterator-grub indefinitely

5f88152223 .base rehashed, DISK_LISTS renamed, etc
In particular:
- .base is now generated from pieces (see image.in/Makefile)
- s/DISTROS/IMAGES/g; s/CONFIGS/DISTROS/g (for clarity)
- s/DISK_LISTS/MAIN_LISTS/g ("disk" was early m-p-d legacy)
- introduced BASE_PACKAGES to complement BASE_LISTS
- minor tweaks to Makefile (ARCH and DATE moved elsewhere)
- libdistro.mk: dropped overlooked IMAGE_INIT_LIST copy
- clean.mk: silly cleanup

0b0ad61b34 install2: split 85cleanup-legacy off 85cleanup-cjk
We have several categories of overhead data:
- legacy 8-bit fonts, locales and gconv modules;
- illegible fonts (e.g. 5x7 or 6x10);
- obsolete vendor specific stuff;
- CJK (which would require proper support anyways).

Notes:
- JIS and things like VISCII are 8-bit either
  and thus might be reconsidered as "legacy";
- proper CJK support would probably include
  scalable fonts and an input method helper;
- main target audience is rather ru/uk/be by now.

(dropped wireless from install2 either)

50e0779f9d sub.in/install2/Makefile: enforce a kernel
A bit earlier the situation where there was a stage1 fallback
for INSTALLER_KFLAVOUR as the last of KFLAVOURS, so we'd have
an installer kernel or build would break; now the situration
got somewhat twisted: there could be a vmlinuz in stage1 but
no corresponding modules in install2 -- which can lead to
different surprises but at least alterator-vm would complain
about "Operation not permitted" on partition layout commit.

The fallback is a copypaste from sub.in/stage1/Makefile though
and should be redone properly somewhere.  The question so far
is, where exactly?

1a8d74e834 moved stage1 scripts into feature.in/installer
All the three scripts depend on installer kernel presence in fact.
When live/rescue are in place, these should be adjusted correspondingly,
probably by moving them to some commonly used intermediate place.

Changed stage1 banner too.

5c571b9af4 pass squashfs options from stage1 test to install2
This looks a bit weird (two subprofiles become a bit more
tightly coupled) but in fact install2 does depend on stage1,
and if stage1 doesn't create squashcfg.mk then install2 is
just fine with defaults (provided they fit the installer kernel
used).  A proper mkimage test infrastructure might be handy though.

Also there:
- 01-initfs: partial cleanup (bootsplash is obsolete anyways)
- regarding 03-test-kernel's errorlevel test:
  if 0, 1 and 2 need to be distinguished, "!" MUST NOT be used
  as it negates so that 0 becomes 1 and the rest becomes 0

71c59a458a stage1/Makefile: serialize prereqs
The problem rarely manifested itself on 8-way server
in the form of attempt to copy ./syslinux while it
wasn't there yet.  The proper fix should include
interdependencies but this kluge works either;
didn't observe this with other subprofiles.

c2f70e5c10 kernel and BUILDDIR fixes
- image.in/functions.mk: rework kpackage()
  + it takes two arguments explicitly now: this adds some noise
    for "generic" invocations but is rather less messy with recently
    introduced STAGE1_KFLAVOUR (which in its turn is rather cleaner
    than messing with KFLAVOURS, especially since soemthing changed
    in presumably apt and we can't rely on kernel packages being
    installed in the order formed).
- BUILDDIR/DEBUG related fixes
  + Makefile: BUILDDIR initialization moved to distro.mk
- build.log += git info

3f012958dc server-ovz; KDEFAULT; syslinux features reworked
Renamed server-light.iso into server-ovz.iso to avoid brand dilution
and confusion (rider@'s server-light rather favours kvm, anyways).

Introduced KDEFAULT: a reliable default kernel chooser knob
since apt's regex ordering proved pretty unreliable.
Spelling things explicitly is better anyways.

SYSLINUX related features undergone pretty major rewrite
(that includes syslinux, hdt and memtest).

The problem to tackle was features.in/syslinux/generate.mk
assuming syslinux and pciids available in build *host* system;
this well might not be the case (or worse yet, those can be
just different).  So now we're a bit less elegant and a bit
more enterprise, stuffing things into chroot and working there.

Bunch of other fixes along the road, including ; to name a few:
- fixed memtest entry (overlooked while renaming SYSLINUX_ITEMS)
- new and shiny doc/CodingStyle
- gfxboot, stage1 target chain, hdt tweaks
- distro.mk rehashed
- README++
- TODO: dropped (integer overflow anyways)
  + actually moved off-tree to reduce commit spam
- s,\.config\.mk,distcfg.mk,g
- doc/profiles.mk.sample: sample ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk
- ...and assorted fixups/additions

Sorry for convoluted commit, this would have been pretty hard to
rework into some really readable shape (and you might be interested
in the original repo's history horrors then, anyways).

16e763e9ea kernel day
- drop hardwired kernel flavour from pkglists
- today's std-ng lacks aufs, let's switch to un-def
- second assault at KERNEL_PACKAGES_REGEXP
- re-introduced kpackages (builds ok)

PS: base lists: switch to grub, add udev, cleanup

d77e1d8dc8 drop autoconf, a few vars in .mk suffice
A major change in approach largely thanks to discussions
with Alexey Cheusov but also well aligned with my own findings:
autoconf doesn't let the variables to form an inheritance.

And data flow described at http://www.altlinux.org/WhiteLabel
(which in its turn was born thanks to Gavin Henrick of Diva Telecom
and to Alexander Bokovoy of SaM-Solutions) is really dependent on
the existence of such an inheritance.

Also:
- distro.mk += try()
- "hide" special targets
- fixed wrt distro/.{base,init,metaconf}, thx gns@
- README updates
  + added metaconf.mk
  + clarifications
- updated pci.ids location for hdt
