...and switch syslinux.iso over to it: syslinux-3.86-alt4's
(actually opensuse's) gfxboot hackery doesn't properly init
video mode so memdisk-started freedos has console troubles
(and yesterday's hdt.c32 hassles could be avoided as well
it seems). And that's being implemented.
Mid-term plan: try switching to syslinux4.
PS: CLI fallback was actually a bug in hdt from syslinux <= 3.86-alt3
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).
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
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
