ldv@ has dropped sysklogd from sisyphus due to
its long-standing FTBFS and "other problems":
http://git.altlinux.org/tasks/archive/done/_207/211999/logs/events.6.1.log
The current recommended replacement is rsyslog
which is fine by itself but really overcomplicated
for the barebones logging system we usually need...
This is a workaround for presumably alterator-pkg's
misbehaviour given a pkglist with a line ending with
a space character; my particular case grew from @E2K
suffix resulting in "%name@e2k %name@e2kv4" which,
in its turn, became "%name " in e2k-arch build.
Installer complained about being
unable to install in selected configuration
with /tmp/install2.log "clarifying" the problem to be
%name being unavailable (while %name package was there
in both RPMS.main and metadata)... not obvious at all!
So while downstream should be hardened either, let's do
what we can do here.
The main challenge for this change appeared to be lightdm:
it can do dualseat but in a quite peculiar way tied to systemd;
while wdm-based implementation well prepared and described by viy@
can survive both systemd and sysvinit just fine.
branding-alt-workstation-mate-settings pulls in lightdm-gtk-greeter,
and lightdm takes over; it should probably be masked in systemd case
(sysvinit should need no further hassle as /etc/X11/prefdm considers
wdm before lightdm for historical reasons; or /etc/sysconfig/desktop
could be filled in to be sure) *but* the current stopgap "solution"
is what it is now.
See-also: http://altlinux.org/X11/DualSeat
These describe what's needed to set up a single-seat (as usual,
now just default) or dual-seat (out-of-box, given a checkbox)
Elbrus 801-PC.
Huge thanks to bircoph@ for actually implementing this!
I decided to switch lightdm greeter from gtk to slick,
while adding the default user created to xgrp group
(to facilitate them access to DRI device nodes)
and turning off MATE's desire to spend extra resources
on bells and whistles though compositing window manager.
There's an ISO9660 COPY tag for license info file;
make use of it, factoring use/docs/license out
while at that.
One of the goals was to make it hold the reference
to reference to GPL in regular builds and starterkits
;-)
Every .iso was assumed to be bootable since the very beginning[*],
and isoboot images were deemed to be x86 isolinux ones; this didn't
change with basic ppc/armh support as I never ran into hardware
that would _boot_ those ISOs, not only run the code, and it was
only e2k isodata project that finally forced this refactoring.
It's still not perfect: pack and syslinux features still end up
somewhat interwoven, and too much places care for architecture
the image is being built for (instead of archdep features tossing
their appropriate bits and pieces in).
Should help:
- any-arch regarding isodata images;
- {x86,aarch64}/efi by decoupling isoboot and isolinux;
- ppc{,64} as introducing yaboot support will be easier now;
- mipsel{,64} too, hopefully.
* I knew of school addon images baked with mkimage-profiles-desktop
but postponed and then neglected the whole problem for years...
It's the common part that should be more or less architecture
independent (given enough packages in the corresponding repo)
that's been moved into a mixin; archdep bits kept in basealt.mk
(albeit rewritten).
Note that this approach should help building ALT Workstation
for both new arches (like aarch64 or mipsel) and new targets
(like vm) altogether.
