This nice FTP/HTTP client has one issue that bars its inclusion
into every regular desktop image: lftp.desktop file that pops up
in menu but only offers an xterm with a CLI-based utility which
feels embarrassing for a casual user unfamiliar with its power.
IceWM users shouldn't be surprised however.
This project has evolved/merged into LXQt which has been
packaged for both p7/t7 and sisyphus by now, no need to
carry on deprecated bits.
NB: 0.6.x still have it as t6/p6 still bear razorqt.
Split package lists:
- base alsa packages (also needed in pulseaudio-based installations)
- additional alsa packages (needed only if not using pulseaudio)
- pulseaudio packages
The problem with the changed piece of code is that it would
- both call cp(1) multiple times if multiple *_LIST variables
were non-empty (which is usually the case), and
- try to evaluate stdout of the called commands as a shell
script (which would be empty unless someone passed e.g. -v
to that cp(1) but it's crazy to rely on things like this).
So the functions should prepare arguments for a single copy
command that is predictable and could be made verbose.
Ouch.
This batch deals with various Microsoft(R) Word(TM)
instilled formats like RTF/DOC/DOCX and requires nothing
but basic libraries and perl at most; might get extended
over time but please mind the extra dependencies!
This utility manages systemd services inside chroot
while the host system runs sysvinit (systemctl will say
"Running in chroot, ignoring request" and bail out).
This was basically a feature request to get smartctl into
sysv-tde starterkit; it's in regular+extra which is pulled
for regular/starterkit rescue images already but it's better
to have it duplicated here than missing somewhere as the tool
is pretty requisite these days.
The problem with initial implementation (commit 62e7e9c)
is that there's no systemd-services package in p7/branch
thus apt complains about an attempt to remove something
that doesn't even exist in the first place.
There are quite a few potentially useful packages
implementing FUSE based (userspace) filesystems,
these are typically lightweight and still might be
helpful to someone stuck with our rescue image...
xfdashboard is a GNOME Shell-like window switching interface
and application runner; xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin is another
(KDE-like) menu search facility; thanks sem@ for suggestions.
The issue at hand is that interactivesystem pulls in
network-config-subsystem and that one has several providers
by now, systemd-networkd being one of them since recently
(and pulling in systemd).
Just the same problem as with systemd-journal; both might be
fixed by reworking mkimage to allow for different package name
resolution modes:
- "slap everything together and resolve with one-shot"
to handle conflictless situations (most of those);
- "process multiple transactions to allow for conflicts"
thus making it possible to include e.g. a few MTAs into
the provided package base.
Ensure that systemd is outside by explicitly telling so
in the pkglist.
Borders with archive+extra but that one contains standalone tools
and this is a FUSE-based one -- with more of those included in this
particular pkglist already; if we decide that it's a worthy addition
to any image requesting a bunch of archiving tools then it might move.
It's useless as of right now:
- menu file and udisks2 dependency are missing
- udisks2 itself lacks an initscript
Let's note these deficiencies at least...
It looks *ugly* on-screen, at least within regular builds,
even if the screen is 166dpi.
Based on a quick experiment this morning I'd suggest using
fonts-otf-adobe-source-{code,sans}-pro instead -- and it's
available as use/fonts/otf/adobe now, incidentally.
The documentation is still built with it though as a2x/fop look
unhappy otherwise (as in replacing Cyrillic glyphs with "#"s).
vkni@ removed fonts-bitmap-cyr_rfx-iso10646-0400
from WindowMaker dependencies; I think that's wrong
but life is short so let's compensate that here as
at least regular-gnustep.iso degrades (GNUstep menus
are rendered in fixed bitmap font then).
A nice little hack that looks up running instances of cp/mv/tar/gzip/...
in /proc and comes up with job completion percentage. Useful when one
didn't bother to use pv(1) or the process has been running for quite
some time already.
There's no sense to duplucate sysklogd requirement
in plethora of fallback places when a specific feature
responsible for comprehensive init system choice has been
implemented since; just use/init/sysv as needed.
fonts-ttf-droid have been superseded by fonts-ttf-google-droid-sans
in Sisyphus which might be lacking; I've considered replacing it
with Fira anyways, so let's just do that.
Neither qupzilla nor pcmanfm-qt will fire this up
automatically when dealing with a PDF file so rather
adding a reminder to have a look at it some day.
Non-GUI packages moved to base+nm pkglist to enable standalone
installation of those; and GTK bits left in desktop+nm for use
by images lacking their own new and improved(tm) variant.
Note that both GNOME3 and KDE4 aren't lacking anymore.
The logic is pretty much the same as with live.mk,
even somewhat extended as this has actually been
the driver of this change: some images like icewm
or lxqt-based ones might show off other browsers
explicitly (in addition to zerg@'s request).
Firefox was the very reasonable default for initial livecd
implementation but now that at least initial browser chooser
infrastructure is in place it's time to un-hardwire its use.
It's _the_ default but switchable now so that images providing
a comprehensive browser can avoid feature duplication.
This package contains a custom dialog-based dc3dd frontend
aimed to help non-expert CLI users to deal with common tasks
involving full-drive imaging and contributed by Maxim Suhanov.
These are rather foreignsic:
liblnk-tools: Tools to access the Windows Shortcut File (LNK) format
libregf-tools: Utilities to inspect Windows REGF-type Registry files
libuna-tools: Utilities from libuna for Unicode/ASCII Byte Stream conversions
libvshadow-tools: Tools to access the Volume Shadow Snapshot (VSS) format
Suggested by Maxim Sunahov and ported from OBS packages.
plasma-applet-networkmanager has been superseded by a bunch
of kde4-plasma-nm* packages; only the main one has been included
in regular-kde4 flavour since the switch resulting in the lack of
VPN/mobile connectivity options.
My opinion still is that plasma-applet-networkmanager should be
returned as a metapackage for p7/branch timespan so that images
could be built no matter whether it's sisyphus or p7 at hand.
Oh well.
These plugins should be required by a metapackage providing
plasma-applet-networkmanager so that branch and sisyphus builds
use the same pkglist; let's add those explicitly while that's
not done yet.
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...
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.
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.
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.
acpid is not enough since power button handling configuration
has been split apart; and tracking this in zillion places is
utterly useless in face of a specially trained power feature.
Just use it.
It's missing in Sisyphus since php5 update to 5.5.x;
while an opcode cache would be a powerful boost for
many webapps this has to be sorted out in repos first.
Burn.app won't list a USB DVDRW drive with CD-RW inside
(NOT_FOUND), and its README states explicitly that wodim
is not supported yet.
Mixer.app would start with three knobs none of which would
actually change any mixer channel.
Some more editing has been due over pkg.in/lists/tagged/README
to make it more comprehensible and up-to-date; the problem with
groups isn't actually that bad as alterator-pkg's groups concept
is currently aligned with the requisite functionality provided by
pkg.in/lists/* directly; the tagged pkglists come into play when
we want to add "something like that" and don't really care about
the fine details of a secondary thing trusting that it's actually
comprised and working as advertized through its name tags.
Compare to reusing the pre-existing image configuration or features
versus reimplementing things in a rigid manner -- it's a flexibility
vs predictability question, and both scenarios are supported within
m-p explicitly.
This change is done to reduce ambiguity in some cases;
the previous intention has been to ease navigation when
staying in a particular directory, now it's been changed
in favour of convenient toplevel `git grep' in fact.
Both variants have their pros and cons, I just find myself
leaning to this one by now hence the commit. Feel free to
provide constructive criticism :)
Some path-related bitrot has also been fixed while at that.
Split development packages into dev+gnustep pkglist -- these are
worth including in "full" version but will need thorough testing
so as to present the tools to those who value these.
Some of user packages are problematic and shouldn't be included
right now; the problems are mostly of these kinds:
- app won't start (at all or effectively);
- useless for being too alpha quality/incomplete;
- menu file for a commandline app lacking any feedback;
- package lacks the dependencies needed;
- it's a LoginPanel ;-)
Thanks a lot to upstream authors, real@ the packager
and kostyalamer who prepared a lot of menufiles anyways!
This is not strictly required but is basically requisite for some
operations with both packages (did you know about rpm2cpio.sh?)
and initramfs images (which are gzipped cpio archives).
So let's put it in.
Let's put osec tools into installable packages at least
(aiming to shift these into default install probably);
these are worthwile addition to sysadmin's toolbox.
Thanks dobr@ for bringing this up.
It turns out that regular-rescue.iso lacks sshfs,
which is unfortunate (even if it could be installed
with apt in this particular case); three more FUSE
based filesystems have been added just in case.
Thanks mithraen@ for suggesting davfs2.
Argh, so alterator-auth was hiding under a name it provides too
-- now *that* is the cause for those last-step failures as the
rest of the environment hasn't been getting set up apparently.
Just drop it, there's a proper domain-client pkglist for that.
This is what 63293ff22a should
have done too.
I wondered how regular-e18 lacked econnman but it only
took a closer look to understand that it's just not told
to go in, plain and simple!
There are no e18-extra-modules (at least so far),
confine that to desktop+e17.
This basically reverts commit c18ef37274
for all practical purposes and restores the problem with chromium livecd
still that's less of a problem compared to regular builds complaining
that firefox is not the default browser when it's the only one anyways.
live-webkiosk doesn't really need it and mixin/desktop-installer
was picking it up due to d+n+l satisfying d+n query. This could
be fixed with && !live but fixing bitrot is the better way to go.
It's amazing but I've managed to miss out this brilliant
Qt-based Jabber client; a small selection of plugins is
added as well, suggestions are welcome.
- speech-ru and speech-en features are added;
- speech-related things removed from homeros features;
- speech/ directory for package lists added and other corresponding changes.
This doesn't add much but complements the compression utilities.
Maybe it should be moved to rescue+archive, especially if more
tools of this kind get written and packaged.
This package list is somewhat non-trivial and controversial:
- bacula client support is a pretty tiny addition; it does require
extensive knowledge of what's being done and too new client version
can actually hurt (as the bacula director version must not be lower);
- duplicity was added due to lav@ seemingly using it (it's tiny either).
Suggestions are welcome.
It was the proposal to add fsarchiver that has started this;
the package was there in X11-bearing live-rescue.iso but appears
to be a console program thus moved to rescue+misc pkglist;
more than a few rescue-grade utilities have turned up during
a quick look at what else is missing.
shellinabox and dvdsaster have been "added" as candidates since
the former does require additional actions but can provide a nice
security hole if these are taken without extra consideration,
and the latter is just pretty large although might still be useful.
This neat little utility helps immendely to deal with
the eternal "where all of my mega/giga/tera/petabyte disk
space went so busy?"... wonder how it could evade m-p ;-)
Some of the excluded dockapps would crash on startup
or just require manual configuration thus getting those
into the default menu on a live image would rather harm.
