There's an ISO9660 COPY tag for license info file;
make use of it, factoring use/docs/license out
while at that.
One of the goals was to make it hold the reference
to reference to GPL in regular builds and starterkits
;-)
Every .iso was assumed to be bootable since the very beginning[*],
and isoboot images were deemed to be x86 isolinux ones; this didn't
change with basic ppc/armh support as I never ran into hardware
that would _boot_ those ISOs, not only run the code, and it was
only e2k isodata project that finally forced this refactoring.
It's still not perfect: pack and syslinux features still end up
somewhat interwoven, and too much places care for architecture
the image is being built for (instead of archdep features tossing
their appropriate bits and pieces in).
Should help:
- any-arch regarding isodata images;
- {x86,aarch64}/efi by decoupling isoboot and isolinux;
- ppc{,64} as introducing yaboot support will be easier now;
- mipsel{,64} too, hopefully.
* I knew of school addon images baked with mkimage-profiles-desktop
but postponed and then neglected the whole problem for years...
Linux Driver Management (aka LDM) allows easy configuration of different
hardware. Currently this hook does GPU configuration on systems with
multiple GPUs (aka Optimus/PRIME).
The goal was simple: every use/e2k/{x11,install2}/$MACHINE
must be self-sufficient regarding platform support, that is
it must depend on the corresponding CPU-specific target.
A bit less make-tech but still better overall.
NB: llvm cleanup is not needed anymore after upgrade to
Mesa-17/llvm-3.7, should be dropped like this year.
Forgot to do that before merging, sorry.
(xorg-drv-ati cares for dependencies
but we still prefer modesetting driver
in the installers to make them versatile)
The places of the terms *do* affect the sum in apt's case;
start with lowlevel items like SYSTEM_PACKAGES and end with
high-level ones like THE_LISTS to reduce the chance of getting
hit by premature virtual dependency expansion/fixation.
Adapt live and rescue features accordingly.

The infamous systemd infiltration through secondary
"targets" using virtual dependencies started with
syslogd-daemon, continued with network-config-subsystem
and later with ntp-server; all of its implementations
pulling in the main package which is explicitly unwanted
in sysv-based images.
Let's try employing pkgpriorities.
The common problem was network-config-subsystem getting
resolved into something completely wrong (like net-scripts
or systemd-networkd) *before* it got specified precisely;
let's just avoid the common cause, that is, a metapackage.

It's not much use for it to stay without the actual
pointer to the place where NM GUIs are referenced,
I've almost started out implementing the "missing"
bit myself right now :-/
It's legit here as I know no Elbrus users among
non-Russian-speakers, at least so far; should move
to generic l10n feature (which will definitely see
its glory by then).
This is to avoid extra actions when one actually needs
KOI8-R (which is still hardwired in some lcc messages).
Should all be rolled into l10n feature some day...
The early scheme consisted of boot.conf template
with a separate hook filling it in; this was nice
for serial console setup script which could just
amend the kernel command line as needed _but_
this got changed towards the more generic scheme
(breaking the hook in question, unfortunately).
This one supports multiple kernels (and tweaks boot
labels aiming to simplify target kernel selection
for the CPU at hand) instead of an earlier attempt
to fill in a template.
No need for the template so just drop it.
