720a579690 wash, rinse, repeat
install2 cleanups:

- functionally indifferent ones: particularly, install2/*/98system's
  "mkdir -p /image" was superfluous as it was done by that time already
  by sub.in/stage2/image-scripts.d/00stage1

- taken apart, prepared for tags: so far it's a mostly moot change
  since the installer cleanup scripts themselves are mostly the same as
  preceding 90cleanup was (with some additions corresponding to recent
  kernel development); it's still unclear what the mechanism for
  configuring the cleanups in effect will be, either directory/package
  regex lists or tagged scripts excluded from execution by yet another tag

fixes:

- image.in/Makefile: fix metadata related test; the actual test was
  assuming that stage1 kernel means installer, which is not the case
  since generic stage2 introduction; oh well

- 85cleanup-lowmem: a "_" too much was the culprit in destroying the
  needed translations along with those deemed superfluous; thanks go to
  Oleg Ivanov and Lenar Shakirov for finding the bug and proposing the
  fix altogether

additions:

- features.in/Makefile: reworked help target; it was rather inaccessible
  due to BUILDDIR normally undefined at the time of direct make
  invocation, and BUILDDIR is normally defined during normal builds
  anyways so let's try it this way.

- README++

daydreams:

- 01-genbasedir: we should drop bzip2 compressed pkglists some day
  but see genbasedir and apt-cdrom first, 90-pkg.sh (alterator-pkg)
  will fail miserably otherwise

4801579cf5 profile.mk: export PATH including bin/
Mostly needed for tags2lists at the moment;
note that PATH is exported for make recipes
but has no effect on make functions.

eeccd5dfb1 pkg.in/lists/xorg -= wm-select
wm-select should only be needed when multiple window managers
are available.

774169c6cd COMMON_PACKAGES and SYSTEM_PACKAGES
It was clear that "common" isn't very apt for packages that
will get *everywhere*, and became apparent when the need for
a "base+live packages" variable arrived with powerbutton feature.

So:
- the former COMMON_PACKAGES are now SYSTEM_PACKAGES;
- COMMON_PACKAGES act as "BASE+LIVE_PACKAGES".

Note that SYSTEM_PACKAGES also got factored out from stage2 based
features into stage2 subprofile itself; cleanups were due as well.

fba30e0675 docs update
Rather minor fixups for things changed in the meanwhile and not
yet (re)documented properly; and a change for memtest feature
to require syslinux feature (the code's been changed to fit
the updated description, actually, and the change is purely
formal as no syslinux alternative is being used/planned so far).

b56df31624 cosmetic fixup (s/GROUPS/MAIN_GROUPS/g)
MAIN_GROUPS should align better along with MAIN_PACKAGES
and MAIN_LISTS (even if MAIN_ prefix might be suboptimal
given that these packages are essentially extras within
the particular image).

4dfd689810 minicd.iso -> server-mini.iso (and more tags)
minicd target was a hasty hack indeed, let's put it in line;
an attempt at practical use discovered the lack of important
packages like dhcpcd, these were added on per package basis
and quickly remade to use tags -- which seem to fit better.

cf81cc6785 live, rescue, and use tags
It's still very immature -- base lists should be really base,
and functionality should be sorted out in more consistent way.
So far moved to tagged lists (which need some more experimentation
anyways to get both lists and their use more elegant).

- fixed live.iso (now actually useful):
  + extra cleanup was being done (coming from install2 case)
  + root user was password blocked
  + there was no unprivileged user (added "altlinux" w/o password)
  + added xdm setup hook for future X-based livecd flavours
  + several picks for a less slim "base" list
  + xdm login
- tweaked rescue.iso (added ext3grep)

3a5b47e712 improved logging during profile creation
- better *_LISTS printout
- somewhat cleaner .base comments
- more comprehensible git log messages
  + special handling for complex subprofiles
  + no need to commit build.log ;-)

f5a8b89381 stage2 based live subprofiles, updated docs
- introduced generic stage2 subprofile (non-standalone)
- ported installer and rescue over to stage2/{install2,rescue}
- initial stage2/live (needs more work for sure)
- use make-initrd-propagator
- updated and somewhat extended doc/

NB: mind #26133, #26134

20844de700 rough bootloader selection draft (grub/lilo)
NB: needs installer-distro-altlinux-generic = 6.0-alt2
    as it doesn't require alterator-grub indefinitely

e78c62b4e7 initial x11 desktop distro support
This one is pre-alpha quality and very basic but complete enough
to crank out an icewm.iso successfully installing and booting
into xdm ;-)

(actually a week's on-and-off work including a pile of
underlying infrastructure stuff which was planned already
just not there yet)

5f88152223 .base rehashed, DISK_LISTS renamed, etc
In particular:
- .base is now generated from pieces (see image.in/Makefile)
- s/DISTROS/IMAGES/g; s/CONFIGS/DISTROS/g (for clarity)
- s/DISK_LISTS/MAIN_LISTS/g ("disk" was early m-p-d legacy)
- introduced BASE_PACKAGES to complement BASE_LISTS
- minor tweaks to Makefile (ARCH and DATE moved elsewhere)
- libdistro.mk: dropped overlooked IMAGE_INIT_LIST copy
- clean.mk: silly cleanup

c2f70e5c10 kernel and BUILDDIR fixes
- image.in/functions.mk: rework kpackage()
  + it takes two arguments explicitly now: this adds some noise
    for "generic" invocations but is rather less messy with recently
    introduced STAGE1_KFLAVOUR (which in its turn is rather cleaner
    than messing with KFLAVOURS, especially since soemthing changed
    in presumably apt and we can't rely on kernel packages being
    installed in the order formed).
- BUILDDIR/DEBUG related fixes
  + Makefile: BUILDDIR initialization moved to distro.mk
- build.log += git info

3f012958dc server-ovz; KDEFAULT; syslinux features reworked
Renamed server-light.iso into server-ovz.iso to avoid brand dilution
and confusion (rider@'s server-light rather favours kvm, anyways).

Introduced KDEFAULT: a reliable default kernel chooser knob
since apt's regex ordering proved pretty unreliable.
Spelling things explicitly is better anyways.

SYSLINUX related features undergone pretty major rewrite
(that includes syslinux, hdt and memtest).

The problem to tackle was features.in/syslinux/generate.mk
assuming syslinux and pciids available in build *host* system;
this well might not be the case (or worse yet, those can be
just different).  So now we're a bit less elegant and a bit
more enterprise, stuffing things into chroot and working there.

Bunch of other fixes along the road, including ; to name a few:
- fixed memtest entry (overlooked while renaming SYSLINUX_ITEMS)
- new and shiny doc/CodingStyle
- gfxboot, stage1 target chain, hdt tweaks
- distro.mk rehashed
- README++
- TODO: dropped (integer overflow anyways)
  + actually moved off-tree to reduce commit spam
- s,\.config\.mk,distcfg.mk,g
- doc/profiles.mk.sample: sample ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk
- ...and assorted fixups/additions

Sorry for convoluted commit, this would have been pretty hard to
rework into some really readable shape (and you might be interested
in the original repo's history horrors then, anyways).

d93989a3ff initial logging subsystem
Now we don't dump all the gory details onto thee
but rather log them handsomely and present only
the most important details by default; use DEBUG=1
and/or BUILDLOG=/path/to/file to tweak.

Also introduced IMAGEDIR and IMAGENAME.

The rest:
- ovz-smp is no more
- base-l10n pkglist (suggested by Alexander Kuprin)
- clean.mk:
  + fixed an oversight: the test result erroneously applied
    only to the first command of several ones that should be
    run iff build/ is a symlink
  + drop implicit rules (it's no C code)
- Makefile: more reasonable iso names
- image.in/Makefile: .disk/date too

16e763e9ea kernel day
- drop hardwired kernel flavour from pkglists
- today's std-ng lacks aufs, let's switch to un-def
- second assault at KERNEL_PACKAGES_REGEXP
- re-introduced kpackages (builds ok)

PS: base lists: switch to grub, add udev, cleanup

62f7ad5bcc tagged lists updates
tags2lists was tweaked to work on the more natural word boundaries
than explicit "_", and the lists were renamed accordingly.

Dropped the borrowed pkglists by the way.

d77e1d8dc8 drop autoconf, a few vars in .mk suffice
A major change in approach largely thanks to discussions
with Alexey Cheusov but also well aligned with my own findings:
autoconf doesn't let the variables to form an inheritance.

And data flow described at http://www.altlinux.org/WhiteLabel
(which in its turn was born thanks to Gavin Henrick of Diva Telecom
and to Alexander Bokovoy of SaM-Solutions) is really dependent on
the existence of such an inheritance.

Also:
- distro.mk += try()
- "hide" special targets
- fixed wrt distro/.{base,init,metaconf}, thx gns@
- README updates
  + added metaconf.mk
  + clarifications
- updated pci.ids location for hdt
