First I thought leaving it enabled for some images might be good
for testing but someone has asked if it's going to be fixed
in regular-kde4.iso:
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/32377
No need to shorten most of the image names now due to #28271:
"ALT" prefix is 6 bytes shorter than "ALT Linux" and this
changes a lot for these particular names (<= 32-byte long)!
This is hopefully the final change regarding trademark
related commit "series" tracking change from ALT Linux
to BaseALT and now to ALT; starterkits get this too.
It appears to be the culprit for the "mouse fell asleep"
problem due to not-so-careful use of autosuspend against
hardware that doesn't implement that correctly.
Let the disable-usb-autosuspend hack remain though as
those wishing to enable powertop service might be helped
by that (I've seen a Logitech mouse willing to exhibit
this problem even in its presence though).
This is a nice utility clamping default power strain
*and* heat generation on intel-based PCs; I was actually
surprised to see it available but not firing off at system
startup time; fix that.
There were two problems:
- the latest pgsql related groups made installation
impossible (yes, that last minute change);
- hardware testing shows that use/stage2/kms is now
requisite as xorg-drv-fbdev might just refuse to work
with what looks like a perfectly good framebuffer...
Do away with them *quick*.
This starts a sort of "server merger" by consuming
both samba4 and hyperv subflavours into checkboxes.
Rationale is pretty clear: environment -- including
hypervisors -- is just an install/run-time variable,
and the set of initial services is another one;
no need to maintain a distinct image for each value
when we've done enough of that to know we can merge.
This is to avoid "unzip.zip" situations with some NICs:
those needing extended firmware package (which is hefty)
can at least install it by hand off the ISO.
*Maybe* a switch to use/firmware will appear reasonable
some day for this image either, don't know yet; this adds
firmware to installer itself (should only be needed if the
storage device used for rootfs *needs* firmware found in
that package as networking setup is omitted from JeOS
installer).
Rationale: it's the minimalistic image for those who know
what they're doing, let's maximize their chances to get it
installed and running by using a recent kernel.
My failure to recognize that it is a "generic" server that
might need some generalization and not an already specialized
one like OpenVZ HN installer had to be fixed up some day;
today is fine.
Basically, let's move package groups ("checkboxes") and alterator
from server-ovz to server, and maybe beef it up a lil' bit more
later; server-ovz is still far from jeos-ovz but the difference
that looks unmergeable is strict sshd control setup that's going
to bite those unsuspecting, so let's leave it for those of us
who are more suspicious of stray ISOs. :)
It's not only related to jeos-ovz but also to jeos
it seems (even if more fixing is clearly needed in
sisyphus case as e.g. radeon driver might still
refuse to work).
The default "ALT Linux IMAGE_NAME/ARCH" turns into
"ALT Linux altlinux-p7-FLAVOUR/ARCH" which is both
redundant and prone to hitting the ISO9660 volume ID
length limit of 32 bytes (see also #28271).
It'd be better yet to avoid installing hardware-related
packages for a purely VM-targeted distro but it'd require
some more intermediate forking; while its objectives do
include reasonable minimalism it's not as ultimate as for
jeos images, thus let's keep some superfluous services
around (but disable them).
...by moving reference to a package list that *deducts*
packages from a feature (that should lend itself for reuse)
to a particular distribution's configuration (that can have
some specific polish).
The problem was that basing junior on slinux feature while
adding some KDE/Qt-based packages to it failed miserably
in a hard-to-debug manner: adding every package that's been
requested but not installed by hand suddenly made it build,
see also http://altlinux.org/mkimage/debug [ru]
Based on ALT Linux School 7.0.5 Junior and Simply Linux target:
- simplify rules
- use list with educational software missing in Simply Linux
- fix Simply Linux build on Sisyphus
mixin/desktop-installer became *quite* inobvious
even for me over time, and it's not easy to grep up;
let's introduce explicit targets where one is expected
to expect those.
The issue at hand is that recent xorg has suddenly started
to both depend on kernel modesetting *and* not fail through
towards e.g. vesa driver which would save the day for minimal
environments like installer; I definitely don't want to plug
a pile of DRM modules into this image for just this reason.
