Networking is *not* brought up by these rescue images
by default, one is expected to know enough to do that
by hand if needed; still there's no harm to have apt
preconfigured so that it would be operational then.
There are various bootloaders around there and some of them
are supported in ALT Linux; let's provide all the mainstream
ones so that knowledgeable root@ has every tool needed for
most situations needing bootloader repairs.
These might require particular knowledge or special boot mode
(like EFI ones).
Being able to handle [compressed] archives of all kinds
tends to be pretty instrumental in rescue operations,
and some backup system clients won't hurt either.
Some ancient Serial words like "minicom" still come handy
at times too.
Comments, constructive criticism and proposals are welcome.
This doesn't add much but complements the compression utilities.
Maybe it should be moved to rescue+archive, especially if more
tools of this kind get written and packaged.
This package list is somewhat non-trivial and controversial:
- bacula client support is a pretty tiny addition; it does require
extensive knowledge of what's being done and too new client version
can actually hurt (as the bacula director version must not be lower);
- duplicity was added due to lav@ seemingly using it (it's tiny either).
Suggestions are welcome.
It was the proposal to add fsarchiver that has started this;
the package was there in X11-bearing live-rescue.iso but appears
to be a console program thus moved to rescue+misc pkglist;
more than a few rescue-grade utilities have turned up during
a quick look at what else is missing.
shellinabox and dvdsaster have been "added" as candidates since
the former does require additional actions but can provide a nice
security hole if these are taken without extra consideration,
and the latter is just pretty large although might still be useful.
This neat little utility helps immendely to deal with
the eternal "where all of my mega/giga/tera/petabyte disk
space went so busy?"... wonder how it could evade m-p ;-)
I considered these two to be either close forks differing in init system
used (and things involved too much like NM at the moment), or to bring
some more choice along; this commit sticks with the former approach,
namely "let's only toggle the init system and let the rest be the same"
so that choosing the particular implementation can be based on this very
difference and not any other ones added along with it.
...so that locale is selectable at boot (unfortunately there's no
way to do that with text menu so far as cmdline is only changed
in its entirety there and generating it from the bits involved
is Not Implemented Yet as usual).
Some of the excluded dockapps would crash on startup
or just require manual configuration thus getting those
into the default menu on a live image would rather harm.
distro/.regular-sysv{,-gtk} intermediate targets are factored out
to form the base for more image targets as at least e17, icewm,
tde and wmaker are fine without systemd-logind. These represent
both GTK and Qt based environments hence the two footholds.
LUKS seems like a worthwile addition to this particular image;
it's also switched to use installer-distro-altlinux-server
for both LUKS support (until installer-steps are dynamic)
and server-oriented partitioning presets.
Let's ensure that make-initrd-luks gets to the base install
until installer is tweaked to enable in-flight installation
of options like this.
Adding luks to stage1 [make-initrd] features makes no sense
on the other hand (and it wasn't happening anyways due to
the lack of add_feature function call in config.mk as was
accidentally spotted).
And putting luks packages into an installer image lacking
the reference to alterator-luks isn't that sensible, let's
complain to logs at the very least (this isn't going to hit
the default output though).
"prompt" and subsequent first "label" were not separated
in any way while second "label" and forth were; let's make
the resulting isolinux.cfg a tiny bit more pretty.
This is to avoid NM messing with network interface
involved in NFS root filesystem being operational
(see alterator-netinst); thanks sem@ for the hint.
Make it automatically start in desktop ones,
and let it be available in rescue too (there's
a risk of gpm picking up a wrong protocol and
selecting/pasting at random which is not exactly
the right thing for rescue environment with root
shells all around).
alterator-netinst currently relies on "default"
being specified explicitly; it's wrong and it should
cope with the first "label" clause as well but we're
better off being strict to this script, not that one.
This commit should be no-op regarding syslinux itself.
It's a great tool giving the ability to at least debug
the novel problems that weren't there before systemd.
Good that it doesn't want half of GNOME or python yet...
It was a desperate kludge to warrant fallback localization
for cases when livecd-setlocale failed to work out properly;
"thanks" to systemd paralizing startup the order was chaotic,
see #28991 for some details.
Now that livecd-setlocale >= 0.3.1 looks like working this
should be dropped for good.
And the proper preset solution will be l10n feature.
That one requires part of alterator-sysconfig backend
factored out into a standalone package along with its data.
Setting up apt configuration in every container
is pretty annoying, let's enable it by default.
Some provision to add/enable local mirror would
be beneficial but not there yet...
etckeeper was suggested by george@ along with vim-console;
the latter should come by server,base tags but so far does not
(splitting server-base list into common, bare metal and virtualized
parts in haste looked suboptimal).
