{lib,conf.d}/{ve,vm}.mk: shift the real targets lib/*.mk aren't going to be parsed for build targets in the near future; and the early placement of those targets was superseded by a dedicated configuration snippet directory so just move these bits there. 2013-06-19 16:52:02 +04:00			`vm/bare: vm/.bare`

initial vm-{net,ssh} features A virtual machine isn't very useful if there are no means to access it; let's bring up the basic networking and provide root SSH access via pre-existing public key. As the remote access with known default credentials is roughly equivalent to just lending one's VMs to anyone with network access to it, the fallback root password is now exterminated; you have to provide one (or a long enough random string if you plan to use keys only, see e.g. apg utility). 2012-06-21 22:39:37 +04:00			`vm/net: vm/bare use/vm-net/dhcp use/vm-ssh; @:`

actually useful vm/icewm See http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID3/86239.html#1 for a query that has led to this one; in particular, - xdm dropped (won't log in root and there are no users yet); - network is brought up and configured via DHCP by default; - apt-get works out-of-box; - default image size is twice the chroot size. 2012-08-30 23:34:47 +04:00			`# NB: use/x11 employs some installer-feature packages`
initial deflogin feature (security sensitive!) The feature officially introduces the "engineering passwords" including empty ones which have been around since forever but weren't properly managed (and still are not, at least until there are no stray passwd/chpasswd/usermod calls in both the profile, installer-features and all the other related parts). It is based on an m-p-d init3-users script by stanv@ but was cleaned up and restructured in a pretty severe manner; thanks glebfm@ for additional discussion. This also cleans up the kludge previously stuck into build-vm. Note that vm/icewm sports graphical autologin now as well as the default root password (which can be overridden by passing ROOTPW=... to make but it is a change from the previous state of affairs indeed). 2013-06-14 17:24:28 +04:00			`vm/icewm: vm/net use/cleanup/installer use/repo use/deflogin/altlinuxroot \`
