It's old, it uses consolekit (even if not neccessarily),
it borders obsolescence *but* removal of udev-alsa has caused
massive regressions (e.g. regular-gnome3 had soundcard mixer
levels dropped to zero from the start, regular-razorqt added
inability to poweroff to that...).
Just get it back.
This has had several goals:
- a target suitable for x86 and armh providing a rather
minimal set of base xorg packages and generic drivers;
- task-oriented targets for graphics use cases:
+ "desktop" means rather 2D focus with 3D being welcome
or even essential but not performance critical, thus
"a slower driver is fine as long as it does work";
+ "3d" means specific 3D performance being critical,
that is "no 3D means no use at all".
Regarding the free and proprietary 3D-capable drivers:
the previous idea was to split out some common ground
and then add the contenders on top of that; the current
approach is based on the observation that the live images
requiring proprietary NVIDIA/AMD drivers *by default*
are usually of not much use with hardware that lacks
proper 3D acceleration (like Tseng cards) or the driver
support for that (like Matrox these days).
Intel videodriver makes for a special case though:
it is both free and top-notch performer.
Thanks sem@ and boyarsh@ for discussion.
PS: xorg-drv-{keyboard,mouse,void} dropped;
those who need these can usually help themselves.
It might benefit the existing users to be able to configure the
build node persistently across reboots; though the need for something
like NFS overlay or repo settings piggybacked over DHCP is still there
(just ask ildar@).
Added use/live/net-eth so that autoconfigured images
still work in predictable manner.
May those breaking trivial cases walk with zillion of
cdrom, modem, ethernet etc device nodes all around them!
Added fvwm flavour specially for perestoronin from da LOR.
As if it wasn't enough,
- added UEFI support to desktop/,live-desktop intermediate target;
- added live installation capability to desktop/.livecd-install;
- added "net-eth" subfeature to get good ol' eth0 insteal of enp0s3;
- dropped use/x11/autologin as live subprofile sets up
a supported DM for automatic login anyways.
The whole live-rescue needs a massive facelift regarding
applications included and user experience achieved (remember
that folks are going to be stressed enough already with data
lost or system(s) not booting, and probably offline as well);
but at least it's UEFI bootable now.
While ildar@ has some reason for the slimmer image
the somewhat standalone one is documented in examples
for offline use, ruining it in-place is not an option.
Let's just do a split (and lose a target-specific variable
example in favour of a commodity pkglist by the way; oh well).
a live-builder appliance is (or may be) usually used for building software
with many dependencies, hence needing access to external resources,
e.g. apt repos with lib${NAME}-devel packages.
This commit cuts RPM packages from the live-builder LiveCD.
Introduced distro/.live-desktop-ru as a shortcut for
distro/.live-desktop use/live/ru which occurs several times
already (and the counter will increase right now).
Thanks go to ildar@ for spotting this: my ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk
routinely contains DEBUG = 1 line which effectively masked this
regression in commit 307fb51f15.
Wouldn't be a big deal but syslinux.iso is recommended in
tutorial docs being slim and fast-building, and it's also
what's buildable locally in live-builder.iso environment.
The rationale for the former is that the image gets slightly
more compact (although the current sisyphus build is way larger
than the t6/branch build of the optimization time, need to look
into that...); and for the latter it's to provide yet another
installer with a different enough kernel so that there's one more
chance in a weird situation.
There's a bunch of additions to the MATE package list:
thanks viy@ for pulling extras into autoimports,
several more tweaks done due to hints by dek@,
and openssh packages added for debugging convenience.
The kernel's been changed for the latest one (un-def).
The package actually passed the test and just got uploaded
to Sisyphus proper; its aim is to help set up the cross-arch
QEMU build environment.
NB: there are known issues with PPC32-on-x86_64 (which were
the cause for this package and commit to be created in the
first place).
Some images were unbuildable (at least without special setup,
like ve/centos), unusable or just not useful in any meaningful way
(like distro/live-isomd5sum); as these tend to get any attention
during experiments, I decided to put them together in a separate
configuration file that would be effectively skipped if DEBUG
is not requested.
This one was suggested by enp@ for industrial use where
some extra protection for the boot process might be quite
desirable.
If no syslinux ui was specified (the stock configuration paths
ensure there is one) or if it was set to "none" explicitly,
then there's no boot: prompt (let alone any menu).
If there's a need to ensure that the boot process is not
interruptable by Ctrl/Shift/Caps Lock/Scroll Lock.
Also pulled the pkglist/kmodule part out of distro/server-mini's
recipe and started off a standalone feature based on it.
NB: el-smp kernel now contains aufs as a module but propagator
doesn't try to modprobe it.
This one was requested by Andrew Churashev; please note
that the image in use must contain recent flash plugin
so that at least the already known vulnerabilities are
more or less plugged in it... and Sun Java plugin isn't
going to get secure either.
There's no need to repeat the typical openssh-* triade
all over the place; those who need server and client
are better off pulling in "openssh" pkglist, and those
needing a particular package should specify it.
autologin won't register a consolekit session, and gnomes
are too greedy regarding sessions to let us go unmolested...
This particular image isn't production ready when built on
current Sisyphus yet due to unresolved NM/dbus problems
but I decided to at least archive the reached state.
An initial draft of it was done half a year ago but several tricky
thingies had kept the code from showing up as it was rather brittle
and incomplete.
This implementation involves quite a few changes all over the place
but finally works good enough for live and installer images.
Please pay attention to the versions of these packages:
- installer-feature-setup-plymouth (0.3.2-alt1+)
- branding-altlinux-sisyphus (20110706-alt2+ if used)
- plymouth (0.8.3-alt20.git20110406+)

After having added metadata dependency livecd-install
started to look more like a feature than like an intermediate
distribution target; so things were shuffled a bit that way.
