use/docs/license will copy the texts contained in branding
package ("notes" one) over to the image's rootdir so these
can be read with ease; otherwise one has to look up the
right package at best (or unpack squashfs, no user can be
really expected to do that just to *read* a *license*).
This was originally profiles/scripts.d/01-copy-license
script from m-p-d; got cut down heavily.
The problem at hand was that an installer component
of a "DVD class" image does use/cleanup/installer
while installable LiveCD component gets broken by that
(livecd-install -> installer-scripts-remount-stage2
which gets removed as installer-*).
Split those.
Failing to kaboom just in time can make (and has just made)
it harder to figure out the culprit down the road; e.g.
metadata target's tar(1) might fail to find *some* files
that haven't been copied over due to a single one missing
by that run.
Package profiles -- the ones allowing for a multi-purpose
installer -- have been basically overlooked during previous
mkimage-profiles development, unfortunately.
This is the very basic part: put them into pkg-groups.tar.
This is to support Centaurus-like images featuring
more than a single installation profile (e.g.,
"workstation/server/minimal").
Quite a few more modifications are needed to do it
right though as m-p has fallen prey to exactly the
"single root composition" assumption with its current
THE_* variables semantics and processing.
THE_* variables serve user needs while shim belongs
to either SYSTEM or COMMON level packages, not needed
explicitly for stage1 though (mkimage will put it there
when needed) so it's just COMMON.
It's not reasonable for use/firmware/laptop to depend on
use/firmware/wireless as some laptops come without WiFi
cards and wireless userspace to use those is specified
elsewhere anyways.
This might (and probably should) get split into
{base,desktop}+cups somewhere down the road,
maybe when we do print servers again; let's keep
things simple at the moment though, we only need
this for desktop images.
This partially reverts commit 30d3838: trying to use/rescue
with e.g. distro/simply results in conflict between SysVinit
and systemd-sysvinit; INIT_TYPE had to relation to RESCUE_LISTS
in the first place. Ugh.
This cp(1) option has been employed already but just for the lists
(and still incomplete as it didn't cover the names coming through
groups mechanism); thanks sem@ for trying out groups/simply/*,
failing to build an image and reporting the problem.

This has long been a TODO item but an elegant solution
just didn't come until the night before starterkits...
some services (mostly those operating on real hardware)
do not fit virtual environments at all, won't even start.
Turns out that this package made cinnamon's terminal mix up
font glyphs (latin ones would appear vector ones from it,
and numeric ones would come from a fixed bitmap font).
Any additions should make the set better so if any particular
image degrades we'd better fallback and regroup.
PS: boyarsh@ tells that this well might be an infinality problem.
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).
I've read about it while working on http://altlinux.org/upstream page
and thought that providing it within ALT Linux Regular/Starterkits
project builds would be reasonable (upon having checked it of course).
shaba@ asked if it's feasible to extend 50-net-eth
with a generator for systemd-networkd style configs
having provided examples; here it is (depends on
/etc/systemd/network/ being packaged into that one).
(fixed up by shaba@'s removal of superfluous quotes)
