install2 cleanups:
- functionally indifferent ones: particularly, install2/*/98system's
"mkdir -p /image" was superfluous as it was done by that time already
by sub.in/stage2/image-scripts.d/00stage1
- taken apart, prepared for tags: so far it's a mostly moot change
since the installer cleanup scripts themselves are mostly the same as
preceding 90cleanup was (with some additions corresponding to recent
kernel development); it's still unclear what the mechanism for
configuring the cleanups in effect will be, either directory/package
regex lists or tagged scripts excluded from execution by yet another tag
fixes:
- image.in/Makefile: fix metadata related test; the actual test was
assuming that stage1 kernel means installer, which is not the case
since generic stage2 introduction; oh well
- 85cleanup-lowmem: a "_" too much was the culprit in destroying the
needed translations along with those deemed superfluous; thanks go to
Oleg Ivanov and Lenar Shakirov for finding the bug and proposing the
fix altogether
additions:
- features.in/Makefile: reworked help target; it was rather inaccessible
due to BUILDDIR normally undefined at the time of direct make
invocation, and BUILDDIR is normally defined during normal builds
anyways so let's try it this way.
- README++
daydreams:
- 01-genbasedir: we should drop bzip2 compressed pkglists some day
but see genbasedir and apt-cdrom first, 90-pkg.sh (alterator-pkg)
will fail miserably otherwise
The extra tag to filter on was omitted while
moving the code from features.in/cleanup/generate.mk
into the more generic features.in/Makefile; fixed.
Auto-added tags will definitely see an overhaul
when it's more clear what can be done with them.
Applying set() and only set() to a GLOBAL_* is safe
but still a potentially confusing example; so let's
just do it right (and warn unsuspecting folks too).
This is a sort of anti-feature which removes and not builds;
still with mkimage-profiles' approach we can at least build
up the removal procedures as well.
It's what triggered the tagged scripts, BTW.
From now on a feature can contain this tree:
.
+- scripts.d/
+- image-scripts.d/
`- tagged/
+- scripts.d/
`- image-scripts.d/
...per subprofile part or in its root -- the latter one
gets merged into toplevel directory responsible for the
final image build.
NB: autoselected tags include only subprofile names
(or both parts, for complex subprofiles) --
this is highly prone to change yet!
Introduced support for hooks to be added to every
derivative substage of a "base" stage (think stage2/*).
Specific hooks for e.g. stage2/live would live in
features.in/*/live/*scripts.d/ while generic for stage2/* in
features.in/*/stage2/*scripts.d/
This was tackled before but it took raorn@'s hint regarding
sys-freedos-linux (ms-sys has no bootsectors compatible with
freedos currently) and gns@' quick rush at make-freedos-floppy
script to wrap things up.
Should be further developed to become actually useful though.
It was clear that "common" isn't very apt for packages that
will get *everywhere*, and became apparent when the need for
a "base+live packages" variable arrived with powerbutton feature.
So:
- the former COMMON_PACKAGES are now SYSTEM_PACKAGES;
- COMMON_PACKAGES act as "BASE+LIVE_PACKAGES".
Note that SYSTEM_PACKAGES also got factored out from stage2 based
features into stage2 subprofile itself; cleanups were due as well.
Rather minor fixups for things changed in the meanwhile and not
yet (re)documented properly; and a change for memtest feature
to require syslinux feature (the code's been changed to fit
the updated description, actually, and the change is purely
formal as no syslinux alternative is being used/planned so far).
MAIN_GROUPS should align better along with MAIN_PACKAGES
and MAIN_LISTS (even if MAIN_ prefix might be suboptimal
given that these packages are essentially extras within
the particular image).
It's still very immature -- base lists should be really base,
and functionality should be sorted out in more consistent way.
So far moved to tagged lists (which need some more experimentation
anyways to get both lists and their use more elegant).
- fixed live.iso (now actually useful):
+ extra cleanup was being done (coming from install2 case)
+ root user was password blocked
+ there was no unprivileged user (added "altlinux" w/o password)
+ added xdm setup hook for future X-based livecd flavours
+ several picks for a less slim "base" list
+ xdm login
- tweaked rescue.iso (added ext3grep)
- better *_LISTS printout
- somewhat cleaner .base comments
- more comprehensible git log messages
+ special handling for complex subprofiles
+ no need to commit build.log ;-)
dst a shell variable in a makefile recipe,
its dereference must be escaped properly;
the net result was false positive for the test
with no harm being done but extra stuff tossed
into the generated profile
These were broken since 5ff375aa10bee7937db457d3df3115f938bb6c77
due to no bootloader being tossed anymore by the very
installer-distro-altlinux-generic (which is the default)
- introduced generic stage2 subprofile (non-standalone)
- ported installer and rescue over to stage2/{install2,rescue}
- initial stage2/live (needs more work for sure)
- use make-initrd-propagator
- updated and somewhat extended doc/
NB: mind #26133, #26134
s,INSTALLER_KFLAVOUR,STAGE1_KFLAVOUR,g
s,INSTALLER_KMODULES,STAGE1_KMODULES,g
install2 isn't the only livecd around;
so far all of these share the same kernel
in m-p-d, and we'd rather need two+ kernels
with dual-arch media or so; let's not complicate
things too much at this point
This one is pre-alpha quality and very basic but complete enough
to crank out an icewm.iso successfully installing and booting
into xdm ;-)
(actually a week's on-and-off work including a pile of
underlying infrastructure stuff which was planned already
just not there yet)
In particular:
- .base is now generated from pieces (see image.in/Makefile)
- s/DISTROS/IMAGES/g; s/CONFIGS/DISTROS/g (for clarity)
- s/DISK_LISTS/MAIN_LISTS/g ("disk" was early m-p-d legacy)
- introduced BASE_PACKAGES to complement BASE_LISTS
- minor tweaks to Makefile (ARCH and DATE moved elsewhere)
- libdistro.mk: dropped overlooked IMAGE_INIT_LIST copy
- clean.mk: silly cleanup
This feature should absorb ha^Wmeasures for keeping install2
memory footprint to minimum, and so far it drops things not
critical for ru/uk/be users on the floor.
Should be ported to a l10n support framework when there's one.
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.
...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
- 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
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
