Add target use/bootloader/uboot. Das U-Boot -- the Universal Boot
Loader, used on single board PCs (also in qemu).
Use bootloader lists to provide better portability and to avoid
overcomplicating bootloader switch.
Added restriction for alterator-$$(BASE_BOOTLOADER)) only for
ISO images. Since the new uboot bootloader is not supported in
Alterator and is not used when building ISO images.
It could result in a broken config given broken chroot state;
it's of no practical difference as both cases just won't work
but we can at least provide meaningful diagnostics (and a bit
of perfectionism, heh).

This feature ensures the availability and specification of the choice of
office package by analogy with the choice of browser. Additional options
may be set by explicit or indirect request.
gdm3 and lightdm have their own startup services,
and can no longer be started via prefdm.
Other display managers still run through prefdm.

This might evolve into some form of per-arch logic,
or otherwise x86 might get moved into a feature of
its own instead of being the presumed one.
The first step is done.
This reverts commit 226a2395e5.
Users are getting upset about NetworkManager being unable to
configure "System EthX" connections that are meant to set up
with "acc" (which isn't obvious at all).

elogind is the systemd project's "logind" extracted out to be
a standalone service. It integrates with PAM to know the set
of users that are logged in to a system and whether they are
logged in graphically, on the console, or remotely.
...through ensuring that the intentinal lack of dependencies
is actually *complete* and not still pulling the default elinks
in if nothing else was specified (this was still too much for
virtualization base images aiming to make use of mixin/p8).
chrony synchronizes time when connecting to a network using
NetworkManager. This feature is great for computers without
hardware clock, for example Raspberry Pi.
This one can be used to override the default content
of .disk/info file (used by propagator but can find
some other uses within installer as well); the reason
being that ISO9660's Volume ID is up to 32 characters
and a file lacks that particular limitation.
desktop+lxqt+extra contains some qtdesktop bits that do not
relate directly to lxqt. Therefore, it makes it difficult
to use use/x11/lxqt for the more basic builds based on lxqt.
- added netsurf - lightweight html4 browser
- added otter-browser - opera12-like browser
- drop qupzilla, konqueror: removed from Sisyphus

The original commit broke system tar2fs use by accidentally
moving TOPDIR definition into a separate shell execution;
thanks iv@ for spotting and fixing it promptly.

Brief version: otherwise DNS resolving might fail to perform
until dnsmasq service restart or system reboot (ouch!).
The problem:
1) NetworkManager requires dnsmasq;
2) dnsmasq can win a race against dhcpcd on ethernet.
The result:
1) /etc/resolv.conf looks fine;
2) dnsmasq is running;
3) resolving beyond /etc/hosts fails.

The overcomplicated scheme tacked the difference between
p7/t7 and sisyphus-armh of those days that's not there
anymore; all of those repos carry kde4-plasma-nm and not
plasma-applet-networkmanager.
It's been replaced by e18 and eventually the rolling
enlightenment package long ago, in fact missing by p8;
moksha might be a worthy replacement but now just drop
the good ol' stable bits in the profile either.
It's missing in sisyphus (and the last maintainer
was desperate with efforts required to keep it going),
just drop the cruft; if it ever returns, we'll revert this.
These have been broken by p8 already, and missing in sisyphus;
kde4 is broken in sisyphus but that's still not irreversible
(unlike our old and unmaintained TDE build, sigh).
Yandex mirror can lag behind at times:
http://mirmon.altlinux.org/sisyphus.html#ru
...and we've got 1GbE there now, not that bad
compared to 100Mbps back then...
NB: yandex traffic might be billed as "local"
in many regions, this should be revisited.
tar2fs comes from m-p, not from mkimage. Also, we should
use $TOPDIR from shell, not $(TOPDIR) from make, when
calling it.
Note: this is a security fix for environments relying
on packaged mkimage-profiles with sudo enabled for the
builder user.

None of Elbrus systems I had a chance to use as root
had any problems regarding TRIM feature of SSDs these
used to carry/support; let's start with e2k and maybe
carry over to x86 later.
This has manifested on e2k for me -- still using older
make-initrd lacking R: file -- so let's get this kludge
back for a while, or until any reasonable make-initrd
around has *everything* it needs to create images
listed in its runtime requirements.

filesystem package has been severely broken in sisyphus
since late August unfortunately, and I was too busy to
even notice that for too long; let's plug this kludge
until it's fixed now that I've finally seen that crap :-/

sin@ was kind enough to just stick mount.cifs into initrd
regardless of its presence in the chroot in question;
let's look first and only add what's found.
This started as a stopgap fix after make-initrd 2.2.0
which happened to collide with cifs-related m-p commits
in a somewhat unfortunate manner...
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...
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...
Linux Driver Management (aka LDM) allows easy configuration of different
hardware. Currently this hook does GPU configuration on systems with
multiple GPUs (aka Optimus/PRIME).
The goal was simple: every use/e2k/{x11,install2}/$MACHINE
must be self-sufficient regarding platform support, that is
it must depend on the corresponding CPU-specific target.
A bit less make-tech but still better overall.
NB: llvm cleanup is not needed anymore after upgrade to
Mesa-17/llvm-3.7, should be dropped like this year.
Forgot to do that before merging, sorry.
(xorg-drv-ati cares for dependencies
but we still prefer modesetting driver
in the installers to make them versatile)
The places of the terms *do* affect the sum in apt's case;
start with lowlevel items like SYSTEM_PACKAGES and end with
high-level ones like THE_LISTS to reduce the chance of getting
hit by premature virtual dependency expansion/fixation.
Adapt live and rescue features accordingly.

The infamous systemd infiltration through secondary
"targets" using virtual dependencies started with
syslogd-daemon, continued with network-config-subsystem
and later with ntp-server; all of its implementations
pulling in the main package which is explicitly unwanted
in sysv-based images.
Let's try employing pkgpriorities.
The common problem was network-config-subsystem getting
resolved into something completely wrong (like net-scripts
or systemd-networkd) *before* it got specified precisely;
let's just avoid the common cause, that is, a metapackage.

It's not much use for it to stay without the actual
pointer to the place where NM GUIs are referenced,
I've almost started out implementing the "missing"
bit myself right now :-/
It's legit here as I know no Elbrus users among
non-Russian-speakers, at least so far; should move
to generic l10n feature (which will definitely see
its glory by then).
This is to avoid extra actions when one actually needs
KOI8-R (which is still hardwired in some lcc messages).
Should all be rolled into l10n feature some day...
The early scheme consisted of boot.conf template
with a separate hook filling it in; this was nice
for serial console setup script which could just
amend the kernel command line as needed _but_
this got changed towards the more generic scheme
(breaking the hook in question, unfortunately).
This one supports multiple kernels (and tweaks boot
labels aiming to simplify target kernel selection
for the CPU at hand) instead of an earlier attempt
to fill in a template.
No need for the template so just drop it.
This one might probably change into core functionality but right now
it should help when you get not the branding, init system, or whatever
alternative you do _not_ need.

We definitely don't want to see rekonq anywhere,
it's grossly incompetent as a web browser;
and Qupzilla is now being developed under KDE
umbrella and the new name Falkon.
This looks like missing in server starterkit for me;
builder one can be installed by hand if one knows how
to do that but let's better be explicit about that.
Putting any configuration into /etc/net/ifaces/lo/resolv.conf
makes etcnet *overwrite* /etc/resolv.conf, while putting that
into /etc/resolv.conf itself makes e.g. vzctl --nameserver
*append* to what's been specified.

...explicitly; this has been triggered by the change to
livecd-install as of 0.9.10-alt2 (doesn't R: alterator-grub
anymore to allow non-grub platforms as well).
This should be a no-op _together_ with the mentioned change
by now as grub is selected explicitly; will take more attention
for e.g. e2k as the problem just shifted here from livecd-install.

Those images who are fine with ALSA might still benefit
from addons like udev-alsa to have mixer levels restored
on boot; and PulseAudio-bearing images can be based upon
the same intermediate targets now without receiving the
addons they don't need.
This has been long overdue: pretending that "http server"
is an Apache2 with PHP5 was wrong for ages, and providing
apache2/nginx, php5/php7 choice along with more databases
was waiting for its user proposal.
Follow these changes in server feature as well.

This one enables rw session support for Rescue images;
the nitpick is that syslinux' gfxboot *will* set this up
when booting the same ISO from USB Flash media instead of
optical one (CD/DVD-ROM/RW), and we don't put gfxboot into
a standalone rescue image.

Radeon HDMI as the default soundcard isn't really optimal,
and trying to push 44100 kHz samples towards 48 kHz interface
isn't going to sound great; provide sane ALSA dmix defaults
for Elbrus-401 PC workstation.
BASE_PACKAGES_REGEXP and THE_PACKAGES_REGEXP,
to be exact; the lack of handling these appears
to have been the culprit of firefox missing in
vm images which use/browser/firefox.
This reverts commit 41a3f09132:
at least build-vm doesn't do *_REGEXP (which is worth fixing
but all relevant branches got firefox-classic_theme_restorer
so this tweak is now irrelevant and a bit wasteful).
It's strange but ve/builder and distro/live-builder
along with distro/regular-builder are all mostly
"independent", that is duplicating functionality
without any reasonable gain; spotted finally.
The early builds used to rely upon a non-committed
rootfs/files/etc/X11/xorg.conf within this feature
which was a bit annoying and would have screwed an
Elbrus system based on any other GPU.
So let's provide some flexibility by packaging it.
These are creeping throughout m-p and aren't really needed
by default as these should be enabled upon configuration;
let's provide a single switch off point.
No need to deduce kernel version again,
just save it in a temporary file.
The main reason to change what worked is
that e2k kernel-image package has Linux bits
named as image-$kver and not vmlinuz-$kver;
the guessing logic taking all of this into
account resulted in non-aesthetic patch.
NB: there's a duplicating script within
kernel feature; it wasn't easy to avoid
this and it might differ when handling
multiple kernels, I didn't think much
about this now as vm images tend to ship
with the sole one.
