50e0779f9d sub.in/install2/Makefile: enforce a kernel
A bit earlier the situation where there was a stage1 fallback
for INSTALLER_KFLAVOUR as the last of KFLAVOURS, so we'd have
an installer kernel or build would break; now the situration
got somewhat twisted: there could be a vmlinuz in stage1 but
no corresponding modules in install2 -- which can lead to
different surprises but at least alterator-vm would complain
about "Operation not permitted" on partition layout commit.

The fallback is a copypaste from sub.in/stage1/Makefile though
and should be redone properly somewhere.  The question so far
is, where exactly?

1a8d74e834 moved stage1 scripts into feature.in/installer
All the three scripts depend on installer kernel presence in fact.
When live/rescue are in place, these should be adjusted correspondingly,
probably by moving them to some commonly used intermediate place.

Changed stage1 banner too.

1941e52780 syslinux: add vesamenu ui support
...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

006c30a9cd 01-genbasedir: dropped dup cleanup
This was pulled from mkimage-profiles-desktop as is,
and so far is useless (addons, ltsp are out of scope yet).

When reintroduced, it'd better be done as a separate script.

5c571b9af4 pass squashfs options from stage1 test to install2
This looks a bit weird (two subprofiles become a bit more
tightly coupled) but in fact install2 does depend on stage1,
and if stage1 doesn't create squashcfg.mk then install2 is
just fine with defaults (provided they fit the installer kernel
used).  A proper mkimage test infrastructure might be handy though.

Also there:
- 01-initfs: partial cleanup (bootsplash is obsolete anyways)
- regarding 03-test-kernel's errorlevel test:
  if 0, 1 and 2 need to be distinguished, "!" MUST NOT be used
  as it negates so that 0 becomes 1 and the rest becomes 0

71c59a458a stage1/Makefile: serialize prereqs
The problem rarely manifested itself on 8-way server
in the form of attempt to copy ./syslinux while it
wasn't there yet.  The proper fix should include
interdependencies but this kluge works either;
didn't observe this with other subprofiles.

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

e660566b07 initial PoC for distro configuration buildup
Distributions should not reiterate on building block lists:
similar ones should inherit good features (and development)
from the basic up to the more sophisticated ones,
like seen at http://www.altlinux.org/WhiteLabel
