...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.
We've been pruning quite a few packages from a recently installed
altlinux-p7-server-ovz instance; looks like server-ovz's added
functionality should go into plain server instead, and -ovz flavour
should focus on bare metal HN.
In particular, bash-completion-1.99-alt3 seems to misbehave with
mount(8) at the very least -- better drop it for now.
THE_KMODULES isn't referencing the actual *.ko files
but rather kernel-modules-* packages; it was a bit too
verbose to name *_KMODULES as *_KMODULE_PACKAGES even
if it was more self-explanatory of course, but still
we've got the first victim to that ambiguity.
It's been proposed to add an image writing tool to all of
the desktop regular builds (which is reasonable).
rosa-imagewriter depends on qt5 that's currently found in
lxqt, kde4 and kde5 flavours only so let's put it there.
imagewriter (the openSUSE's original one) goes to the rest of
DE builds: xdg-su would fallback to gksu if none of the desktops
got "detected", and that means several more megabytes of crap
(completely unneeded in WM-based images I think).
Enlightenment is a long enough word to trigger #28271;
E, on the other hand, is pretty slim to fit that space.
"Volume id: ALT Linux regular-enlightenment/" just isn't
pretty at all.
rider@ asked to move gnome3 to un-def kernel flavour,
and there's an unofficial policy for regular builds
that these carry reasonable diversity (in a good sense)
as in various kernels, inits, etc; that diversity would
drop a bit of both GNOME3 based flavours would end up
with the same kernel, so let's mv not cp.
Samba 4.x in domain controller mode works with "samba"
service, not legacy smbd/nmbd/winbindd; all of those
must be stopped before running the newly-configured one:
http://altlinux.org/SambaDC
Done due to Balbes' (quite reasonable) suggestion
to do so for all of the installable regular builds
as changing disk partition layout is better made
with the proper tool.
Drop qtparted from lxqt pkglist as it's broken :(

lxqt-lightdm-greeter is finally *really* deprecated,
LXQt's build system has changed enough to warrant its
FTBFS without the same changes.
Note that this won't cut it for p7 starterkits anymore.
This one adds a "classic" GNOME2-like session;
one needs to select it by hand though, and gdm
won't bother them with a selector "gear" widget
unless there's a password set for the user.
Thus no autologin without explicit session
specification seems possible so far.
Note that there's no way to have gdm without
gnome-shell currently.
use/browser/firefox/esr was not enough to actually select firefox-esr
as the FX_FLAVOUR handler was simply not getting included (see also
the preceding commit); specify it explicitly.
The future mod might be introducing some "live" flag for that feature
to use it instead of adding livecd-webkiosk-* packages by hand...
Both kde5 and xfce-sysv have received their fair share
of criticism for substandard fonts; zerg@ has proposed
adding droid fonts to the former and someone expressed
their frustration with Terminal fonts in the latter:
http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID3/104750.html#70
Let's try to make some difference between Xfce based
flavours as well by changing the kernel to a bit more
"bleeding" one as proposed either.
It was observed in regular-gnustep-20150916-*.iso that
mediacheck boot target sort of starts plymouth bootsplash
when not intended to; let's plug this by moving +plymouth
away to a test image *but* there are couple things with it:
1) supporting plymouth in mediacheck *might* be a good thing
for distros proper -- this will likely require some support
on bootsplash theme side either;
2) it's not enough to just drop @bootargs@ from syslinux.cfg
snippet as the extra payload will still go in to no avail.
Both starterkits and live webkiosk images carrying Firefox
are switched to ESR packages by this commit; note that those
images with other browsers aren't affected.
This has apparently been a TODO item stuck until finding out
whether efi and isohybrid conflict or not; it's been a *long*
time since this has been found out (no conflict) actually,
let's add isohybrid to all of the images as it's completely
free size-wise and efi to chromium image as it's the largest
base one (I don't think that adding any extra functionality
to the already overweight and full of potential and kinetic
security bugs "flash" flavour is a good idea as it would
promote its use among those who need EFI but not Flash).
Wish this was done before starterkits alpha but still;
here are the preliminary (unqualified) test results:
- cinnamon: OK (vi_VN, zh_CN, ko_KR)
- gnome3: no way to change the hotkey; menu font troubles
- kde4: OK but lacks corresponding localization subpackages
- lxde: OK (vi_VN, zh_CN, ko_KR)
- lxqt: imsettings-xfce somehow gets in (unrequested!)
- mate: unable to change hotkey, applet complains to stderr
- tde: native apps don't recognize ibus input
I decided that it's worth the added size to sprinkle more
hardware-related packages like SANE throughout the regular
crop so that compatibility tests are easier to do; there's
sane usage in there already, let's port live-gimp over too.
...now explicitly.
The problem started with systemd being tossed in but was ignored
for some time -- until systemd-221-alt1 gained X11 dependency
through /etc/X11/xinit.d/ script and triggered the libX11 test
that breaks regular-rescue.iso build.
pam_systemd and systemd-services still get in (and can be removed
by hand with nothing else requiring those).
This one was an experimental but the server is long
offline and isn't going back up; remove the obsolete
config snippet, if/when it's done again it's the easiest
part to be restored (the implementation should provide
HTTP/FTP/NFS-publishable deliverables without the need
to extract those from ISO images).
