Michael Shigorin	75f7c62bd1	initial build-vm feature ... Yes, mkimage-profiles is now able to build VM disk images. So far the support is pretty basic: - a single hard drive image with a single partition/FS - only stock root password is configurable - LILO is hardwired as a bootloader The resulting images tend to boot under qemu/kvm though. Please see doc/vm.txt for the warning regarding additional privileges and setup required. This was started back in February but I still hoped to avoid sudo/privileged helper (and libguestfs is almost as undistributable as can be)... Thanks: - http://blog.quinthar.com/2008/07/building-1gb-bootable-qemu-image-using.html - Alexey Morarash who reworked that as https://github.com/tuxofil/linsygen - led@, legion@, vitty@, aen@ for providing advice and inspiration	2012-06-18 21:56:46 +03:00
Michael Shigorin	665c70a444	use PATH instead of hardwired pathlets ... bin/ prefix tried to become a permatemp(tm). No way.	2012-04-07 15:45:40 +03:00
Michael Shigorin	5dba27d011	main.mk: factored out help targets ... These are better off in their own lib/help.mk	2012-03-19 19:23:38 +02:00
Michael Shigorin	9304c12c58	fix toplevel arch/distro loops ... There was a somewhat subtle Makefile->main.mk rename leftover lurking in "everything" target: the default Makefile got used, not the supposed main.mk -- which resulted in an attempt to get way too much job done (the number of builds per target became $ARCH squared, not just $ARCH). Huge thanks to led@ for being an inspiring pedantic!	2012-01-17 00:32:54 +04:00
Michael Shigorin	2f307ffffb	main.mk introduced, lib/*.mk partially rewritten ... The former toplevel Makefile is now toplevel main.mk; this change allows for multi-target, multi-arch processing in the current toplevel Makefile. As the "build" symlink semantics change quite considerably when one is doing bulk builds (several pruned builddirs might be useful for comparison), BUILDDIR is now much more likely to be recreated: the cases when it will persist are when it's either a single-image build or when the prefix hasn't changed. There are some more or less subtle bugfixes and enhancements all over the map as well. Done within 20111230..20120102 timeframe, actually...	2012-01-02 21:01:09 +02:00
