This feature intrinsically depends on predictable
ethernet interface names and makes no sense without
those; so it only seems reasonable to bring this
nice package in, huge thanks go to shaba@ of course.
There's a whole slew of improved dd(1) forks out there
and several more utilities around, some might stick to
this one and others to that one; let's try and make'em
all happy even if it's not really feasible...
Package has been prepared by shaba@ and sem@,
and it looks like ALT Linux with un-def kernel
is one of the few (or just the one) distribution
running on Hyper-V Gen.2 rather flawlessly
thanks to efforts by boyarsh@ and vitty@.
There's a nuance: libaff used to contain the utilities
and is required by sleuthkit; 3.7.4-alt1 has aff-tools
split into a subpackage of its own so we'd better keep
the binaries by adding this one.
This value is used to authenticate rescue rootfs image
by verifying the squashfs file's sha256sum before use
(propagator-20140419+).
Looks like this check might be useful for other stage2
images as well but let's get started with this one.
Thanks Maxim Suhanov <suhanov/group-ib.ru> for both
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Forensic_Live_CD_issues
and propagator patches.
Thanks Maxim Suhanov (suhanov <AT> group-ib.ru,
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/User:.FUF)
for taking the time to review regular-rescue image.
Note that there are more than just filesystems:
arrays, logical volumes and swaps aren't activated either;
startup-rescue >= 0.18 should make that clear enough.
syslinux shortcut handling is case-insensitive,
let's find yet another letter...
biew was strangely missing indeed; several more
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Category:Tools
added as these have been packaged for ALT already;
fatback is on the way and dc3dd should come soon.
Debugging department has seen a /minor facelift/ too.
Some tools depend on X11 though and have been put
into a separate pkglist for that matter.
Just a convenient knob for a few things done previously
to help spare the interesting bits from being overrun.
NB: live_rw isn't added although it might be useful
since that would yield too many boot targets overall;
this is likely to change some day, hopefully when
media type detection/handling is implemented.
Let's bump syslinux timeout to 20 seconds either
so that iKVM users have a chance to select anything
and not just see the default booting after a few
screen area size changes.
A variant of rescue that marks the need to be careful
towards block devices and filesystems thus reducing
the amount of auto-activation done by startup-rescue
(0.17 or newer).
cvltonemap is no more available in sisyphus/p7;
xsane and usbutils were sorely missing (thanks dd@).
NB: fim is currently i586-only, need to fix or drop it.
server-zabbix.iso is ready for deployment,
and live-zabbix.iso is zabbix agent + firefox
(needs at least Server to be specified properly
within zabbix_agentd.conf when booted).
This is a refactored result of Zabbix-related experiments;
we can do a rough zabbix server sketch that still requires
its own setup to go.
NB: both the pkglist and the target are describing several
distinct things actually: zabbix server, zabbix agent,
and the underlying SQL/HTTP/SMTP servers which might get
their own smaller targets some day.
It used to be added in server-ovz but it really belongs to
the underlying server-mini already as more images built
upon that one should perform correct shutdown given ATX
compatible case/mobo or a VM that can do ACPI.
This reverts commit fd8f375573.
xdg-su is broken (some would say beyond repair) regarding DE
detection and handling of various GUI helper utilities,
especially in graceful fallback department; only a few images
can get imagewriter until this is fixed, let kde4 be the one.
It appears that live feature has been buggy regarding user
groups: its 30-users script would create a predefined account
with fixed supplementry groups list, and even if deflogin feature
got used too it would fail to add any groups to already existing
account since its useradd(8) call would fail.
Let's drop this duplication which has been long overdue anyways.
Thanks dd@ for both reporting the problem and carrying out
initial investigation.
There have been several problems with this feature:
- a typo;
- non-existant GROUPS (even a single one) would block setting
all of the supplementary groups but separately-set 'wheel';
- this feature isn't used much actually so sees no battle testing.
The typo has been just fixed; GROUPS are now applied by iteration
which is less effective but more reliable; an additional script
hook to write down login invitation for the first passwordless
account (if any) has been implemented; and several more group
managing targets have been added (based on live feature's script).
This relates to commit f2892ad3e4
as there's an obvious need to be able to set empty root password
for LiveCDs but previous implementation was very fragile (and is
going to stay that way) -- so clear and separate knob for making
an image defenseless looks better.
Whoops, the very first build of a real distro with gfxboot
has shown that the label isn't picked up there... and things
are actually worse: iso.needscheck gfxboot test seems to look
up "check=1" in sectors where it might have been landing back
then but it's just not there by now; some kludgery is due in
branding-altlinux-sisyphus unfortunately.
No use to hunt make or diff file-by-file.
Well this chroot should have been more lean
in the first place (or a few files in initrd)
but life is short so better use/baby/steps.
