Michael Shigorin	5b21100bed	README update ... These have been proofread somewhat to correspond to the current state of affairs; a missing one was added for fonts feature.	2013-06-10 19:43:31 +04:00
Michael Shigorin	7e78670e4b	added support for cpio and xz ... Actually this is the proper rewrite that was looming ever since tgz support was introduced: there are multiple archive formats supported by mkimage, and there are multiple compression methods available as well. So the bullet got bitten yet again along with the "goal parser" which should be more straightforward by now. Thanks dkr@ and mithraen@ for the inspiration of this evening.	2011-11-24 22:19:32 +02:00
Michael Shigorin	ddf0c5b7c7	full-view docs update ... - toplevel README received some long-needed refactoring + lowlevel detail moved, well, to lowlevel READMEs - reflected more thoroughly that m-p is not about distros anymore - dropped features.in/00example/README.en: it's already out-of-date a bit, and there's no perceived need in thorough English docs so far - wiki article got split into parts and somewhat rewritten, links updated - mv doc/{CodingStyle,style.txt}	2011-11-07 00:01:36 +02:00
Michael Shigorin	d5a5941f96	official {distro,ve}/* support ... This is quite a large-scale change since mkimage-profiles got used to baking distributions over the last year, and virtual environments are quite different, so e.g. image.in/Makefile had to be split in two with the main part of it moved into features.in/iso/lib/. Short overview: - features.in/Makefile: lib/ support (supporting VE images requires dynamic modifications to image.in/Makefile before starting the build; the most natural way to achieve that seems to use features mechanism along with makefile include dir) - packaging format related part moved into features.in/pack (should be better prepared for diversity either) - features.in/iso renamed to features.in/build-distro - features.in/ve renamed to features.in/build-ve + NB: these could not be merged as e.g. features.in/build due to completely different script hooks - lib/image.mk renamed to lib/build.mk - image, config, log postprocessing moved downstream - added a sort of a topping in the form of lib/sugar.mk - assorted style fixups (like ifeq usage) - clean.mk: reliability fix (the problem was observed by Oleg Ivanov and me too but finally it did get the attention quantum) - reviewed, updated and extended docs + QUICKSTART: should be[come] a step-by-step guide (thanks Leo-sp50 for prodiving feedback)	2011-11-04 16:54:41 +02:00
