Just like livecd-install, graphical installer KMS support
looks better as an optional part of install2 feature.
Of course it's optional only if the release manager is fine
with VESA drivers and not KMS-requiring intel/radeon/nouveau;
thanks led@ for a confirmation just in case.
After having added metadata dependency livecd-install
started to look more like a feature than like an intermediate
distribution target; so things were shuffled a bit that way.
This further refines the modular build by making
metadata being a clearly separated feature rather
than having to rely on runtime tests, and also by
moving the code which cares for kernel bits of base
installation (.base list) in a feature of its own.
There's more to it but let's get the ball rolling first.
The initial work covered live images but missed an installer bit
(thus notes and slideshow were missing in install2) while forgetting
to put branding packages into base list (thus kindly making these
available for *manual* installation sometime after, ouch).
It's hard to tell a successful build from a failed one
if downstream hides the exit code; it's useless to continue
a `for' loop if a pipe shoves that to a subshell; well it seems
that a bashism is worth a thousand quirks with extra fds here.
Minor regexp enhancements are also due.
reports.mk made a bit more resilient/prudent either.
NB: for the feature to work properly the chosen branding
package set should have proper Provides: and Conflicts:,
specifically it must explicitly conflict with the most
lexicographically cool package set around (these days
it's sisyphus-server-light).
As duly noted by glebfm@, branding issues need more attention
by now since only stage1/install2 got some of it so far in this
regard. Hence the dedicated feature comes to the rescue
(well no, it doesn't actually mess with rescue!).
Following m-p-d, a more involved default output directory
structure is feasible now:
~/out/name/date/name-date-arch.type
instead of plain
~/out/name-date-arch.type
This particular behaviour can be achieved by passing
SORTDIR='$(IMAGE_NAME)/$(DATE)'; note the single quotes.
Reports are also saved in this resulting structure
albeit the place is still highly debatable.
use/slinux-live: in p6 slinux had install-dvd version too
lists/slinux/misc-dvd: user 3d-proprietary comes from use/x11/3d-proprietary
lists/slinux/misc-dvd:restore compiz
slinux: use/syslinux/localboot.cfg
Sometimes it's desirable to provide the kernel supporting
maximal amount of RAM on the system; bad news is that x86
has a kludge named PAE, good news is that x86_64 doesn't
need it at all; but now we must be able to choose between
those.
BIGRAM will hold the flavour needed.
This script specifies the (excessive) lists of services
to be enabled and disabled explicitly; these are mostly based
on profiles/live/image-scripts.d/init3-services from m-p-d.
There might be systemd related pecularities though...
The early version considered ISO and KOI encoding families
as obsolete; the current one is a bit more wise and knows
these are just /rare/. Thanks glebfm@ for #27168 research
and cinnamon by slava@ for ISO-related noises at startup.
There's no real reason to keep bcmwl and ndiswrapper
around exclusively as the currently available support
vastly takes over the early attempts at the task.
(it's not about bare firmware though, and some day
something like use/hardware/wireless should get in)
Initial SPICE support has been added for kvm/libvirt installation
and boot-up using qxl and spice by default as proposed by shaba@.
VirtualBox part is shifted a level deeper correspondingly
but otherwise stays the same.
It is actually an effort by glebfm@ to create an experimental
systemd-based Simply Linux LiveCD; I merely reviewed the original
diff, moved kernel related bits to firmware (see preceding commits)
and introduced a dedicated pkglist namespace by creating a directory.
THE_PACKAGES_REGEXP is in place, let's rebase firmware packages
so these would be available in LiveCDs either.
The news for systems being installed is that MAIN_* is optional
while THE_* is included in base system; firmware packages tend
to be pretty tiny and harmless.
kernel-wifi pkglist has absolutely no sense by now, hence purged;
firmware-rt* and firmware-i2400m are merged into firmware-linux.
There were STAGE1_PACKAGES_REGEXP and MAIN_PACKAGES_REGEXP
but adding more of those was postponed to avoid bloat and
bitrot; THE_PACKAGES_REGEXP is needed for use/firmware now
and looks like BASE_PACKAGES_REGEXP and LIVE_PACKAGES_REGEXP
will be useful before too long either.
Docs updated to include stage-specific package related vatiables.
