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...
This is a workaround for presumably alterator-pkg's
misbehaviour given a pkglist with a line ending with
a space character; my particular case grew from @E2K
suffix resulting in "%name@e2k %name@e2kv4" which,
in its turn, became "%name " in e2k-arch build.
Installer complained about being
unable to install in selected configuration
with /tmp/install2.log "clarifying" the problem to be
%name being unavailable (while %name package was there
in both RPMS.main and metadata)... not obvious at all!
So while downstream should be hardened either, let's do
what we can do here.
These describe what's needed to set up a single-seat (as usual,
now just default) or dual-seat (out-of-box, given a checkbox)
Elbrus 801-PC.
Huge thanks to bircoph@ for actually implementing this!
There was no thunderbird built for e2k for a while,
and some images might benefit from a lightweight
GUI MUA; the only question is whether it belongs
to workstation classification or not really.
It was noted that Ancient Cyrillic glyphs aren't available
out-of-box (and people wondered why there are no Chinsese
glyphs before), so adding proper Unicode font looks worth it.

Enlightenment does not provide its polkit agent.
Added a lightweight polkit agent without dependencies
on a specific DE; it won't be autostarted though.
It's 15 Mb off x86_64 regular-rescue.iso as of today
(libicu and a few other hefty libraries are only needed
for fio), and benchmarks are probably a better company
albeit fio could be useful as a stress testing tool.
There's a problematic dependency chain as of today's sisyphus:
smbios-utils => python3-module-smbios, python3, python-base
python3 => python3-base => python3-test
python3-test => python3-modules-tkinter => tk => libtk => libX11
...and libX11 is explicitly banned in regular-rescue.iso
which is determined to stay text-only; let's drop this package
until this problem is resolved.

lxde-icon-theme is required by lxde-settings-upstream only
(and that's been changed for lxde-settings-lxdesktop),
just drop it; move essential packages from -extra to the
main lxde list; lxde-shortcut has been specified twice.
The former ("proper 32-bit x86 package form") has been suggested
by zerg@ quite some time ago but the desired interface wasn't clear
at the moment IIRC; a quiet morning helped me realize that
ICAClient-preinstall@IA32
is rather more readable than
ICAClient-preinstall@i586 i586-ICAClient-preinstall@x86_64
so here's the (trivial) implementation; and I actually needed
the latter, @X86 ("any-x86") to mark x86-only packages so
xorg-drv-intel@X86
is now equivalent to
xorg-drv-intel@i586 xorg-drv-intel@x86_64
It's a yet another rescue dd(1) alike trying to save
those blocks which still can be read first and getting
back to the rest later; suggested by someone (User294?)
over at opennet.

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.
- added missing localization for lxqt and psi+
- added qasmixer
- replaced smplayer with smplayer-mpv
- removed screengrab (lxqt has its own program for screenshots)
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 is to make desktop+lxqt packages installable on e2k
as there's no qt4 package within this Sisyphus port and
things might just stay this way (it's long unsupported,
looks like porting software to qt5 is more worthwile
an effort).
There's one more removal though: qupzilla. This browser
fits lxqt like a glove *but* it's pulled in already by
mixin/regular-lxqt, and browser feature is available now
to make the selection more flexible. It's also going to
be renamed on the way to incusion into KDE SC.
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.
It's no more built from libnice in sisyphus,
replaced by gst-plugins-nice1.0:
http://git.altlinux.org/tasks/archive/done/_180/184665/
PS: in fact, drop all of them (gstreamer 0.10 related)!

This is moved out of lxde-lxsession deps for sysvinit compatibility;
requires logind (and complains without it) but isn't strictly needed.

The goal is to provide a simple and lightweight
webcam app with the LiveCD while handing some more
advanced one under a multimedia checkbox for installation.
The distro description grew package by package
and started resembling a pile of those; let's
finally reorganize it with lists and generally
improve layout (should be no-op otherwise).
See the discussion of the changes in basealt.mk
package lists in preceding commits touching it.
Note that these might have problems being *installed*
together, consider using this list for MAIN_LISTS only
(or providing more feedback).

It turns out that -regular pulls in too much
(including xfce-polkit that doesn't work with
sysvinit); let's provide means to have it both
ways, need xfce4 4.12-alt5 or later metapackage
for this change to be effective.
Provide both tesseract and its Russian langpack
for Workstation; the proper solution would be to
tweak l10n feature to be able to dynamically
configure things like this given languages
to try and support (not easy though).
These deliver *-preinstall packages (thanks cas@).
Yes, a local sysadmin still needs to actually get
those wares (if they do) but it's less pain when
the libraries needed are in place.
acpi-events-power is clearly unndeed here
(it's rather a distro-level knob), and
powermgmt-base is a bit problematic by now
(e.g. conflicts some of libvirt dependencies
which is a release-blocker for Workstation).
Better options are welcome.
This is to get rid of a "useful" component in default installation
but to keep it available for those who might need it for some reason
(like regulatory one).
Now that we don't ignore X-Alterator-PackageList
in pkggroup files these few places referencing
group names as list names have broke; bring 'em
in line through this new and shiny function.
These mostly come from m-p-d but have been heavily reworked
for the new workstation distro, here's a list of the
typical changes:
- changed X-Alterator-Parent from centaurus-desktop
to a more fine-grained toplevel entry;
- tweaked Categories for the desktop file (e.g. pidgin);
- packages added or removed (like sane to scanning);
- adapted for m-p's biarch support scheme (see emulators);
- renamed more appropriately (for example, 3d -> blender);
- improved descriptions (e.g. by adding specific product
names to groups referencing single-package lists).
Several ones were done from scratch.
NB: lists/groups have been moved into workstation/
and intersynced accordingly.
Make it prefix not suffix so that sorting order
in alterator-pkg is natural instead of chaotic
during installation; turn some implicit "tools"
into explicit ones for consistency either.
Another zerg@'s surprise was the change with amarok,
k3b and ktorrent packages in sisyphus/p8: these have
been changed to use kde4libs/kf5 and KDE3-related
packages have now been renamed to kde3-*.
Handling this without metapackages is more tricky
so do just that.
The problem at hand was that use/x11/xorg has been final,
and zerg@ just couldn't switch from nouveau to nvidia
when kdesktop needs that one.
Initial approach included a "big" FREE/PROP switch that
chose the particular KMODULES/PACKAGES to get added to
THE_* but that fails to achieve e.g. nvidia+radeon combo;
looks like these need individual switches.
Current lxsession would offer to lock screen but will silently
fail within default regular-lxde.iso environment (that does lack
any kind of X screen lock utility); add some.
There were two problems:
- the latest pgsql related groups made installation
impossible (yes, that last minute change);
- hardware testing shows that use/stage2/kms is now
requisite as xorg-drv-fbdev might just refuse to work
with what looks like a perfectly good framebuffer...
Do away with them *quick*.
This is a clone of tagged/server+sambaDC pkglist
with added metadata *and* an installer feature
to make things happen at install time; not sure
if regular-server-samba4 is going away any time
soon though as it's useful standalone too.
This might (and probably should) get split into
{base,desktop}+cups somewhere down the road,
maybe when we do print servers again; let's keep
things simple at the moment though, we only need
this for desktop images.
This cp(1) option has been employed already but just for the lists
(and still incomplete as it didn't cover the names coming through
groups mechanism); thanks sem@ for trying out groups/simply/*,
failing to build an image and reporting the problem.
Reported-by: Mikhail Efremov <sem@altlinux.org>
Turns out that this package made cinnamon's terminal mix up
font glyphs (latin ones would appear vector ones from it,
and numeric ones would come from a fixed bitmap font).
Any additions should make the set better so if any particular
image degrades we'd better fallback and regroup.
PS: boyarsh@ tells that this well might be an infinality problem.
I've read about it while working on http://altlinux.org/upstream page
and thought that providing it within ALT Linux Regular/Starterkits
project builds would be reasonable (upon having checked it of course).
Removing packages in a feature's pkglists that seemed to be
reusable caused to have been a disastrous idea; fix that,
and let the distro-specific bits care for particular removals
(if these are still needed with m-p).
Based on ALT Linux School 7.0.5 Junior and Simply Linux target:
- simplify rules
- use list with educational software missing in Simply Linux
- fix Simply Linux build on Sisyphus
