This should avoid ruining principle of the least surprise
with ROOTPW_EMPTY=0 or ROOTPW_EMPTY=n actually *enabling*
empty root password; overriding an already set "1" with "0"
becomes possible either.
This one has been inspired by these guys:
http://www.informatimago.com/linux/emacs-on-user-mode-linux.htmlhttps://raymii.org/s/blog/Vim_as_PID_1_Boot_to_Vim.html
It's aimed at building images running their main userspace
piece instead of ramdisk's init, that means PID=1, UID=0.
Mostly fun of course but it suddenly became interesting with
kernel IP autoconfiguration and e.g. elinks running this way
(NB: requires patched make-initrd 0.8.8 at the moment to get
resolver configured).
And startup times are way better than sysvinit and systemd combined!
This function's got its argument order chosen for "aesthetical"
reason of $(2) following $(1) in the macros but the logical order
is exactly the opposite: we care for kernel flavour much more than
for module set (which is dependent upon it).
So while silent dropout of kernel-image if KFLAVOURS is set
but KMODULES is empty could be fixed by testing for $(2) only,
it looks like a good time to fix this discrepancy altogether.
stage2 has been thinking it's synonymous with propagator
and used to usurp kernel's belongings either; carefully
tear scripts apart so that kernel feature makes sure
initrd gets generated, and stage2 (which is still all
about propagator) cares for its bits.
It's been a given that any stage2 is propagator-based
but that's not neccessarily so; the "run X as PID 1"
sort of contest has sparkled interest in some others.
xorg-drv-vmware is desirable for guests with X11
but undesirable for text-only ones; let's provide
this knob at least but ideal m-p would figure out
that an image with use/x11 and use/vmguest/vmware
should receive this intersection either.
This aims to work around URW fonts deficiencies combined
with the relatively high position of their standard ones
in default /etc/fonts/conf.avail/60-alt-post-user.conf;
see also #30293, #30294.
It's not EFI-bootable due to the extra size penalty
with current build/boot technology, but it's also
not ISO-hybrid as most images are made hybrid by
making them EFI-capable as well since the processes
are related.
Thanks dango at the forum for asking:

Borders with archive+extra but that one contains standalone tools
and this is a FUSE-based one -- with more of those included in this
particular pkglist already; if we decide that it's a worthy addition
to any image requesting a bunch of archiving tools then it might move.
It's useless as of right now:
- menu file and udisks2 dependency are missing
- udisks2 itself lacks an initscript
Let's note these deficiencies at least...
Maybe firmware feature should be merged into kernel feature
as the firmware binaries added by it are only used by kernel
but let's clean up a bit at a time.
Just spotted that .disk/profile.tgz would hold
distcfg.mk with pre-expanded $(HOME) from build
host which is both info leak (user account that
was used to build the particular image) and just
wrong given that the in-image profile archive was
conceived as a means to pass that part of build
environment over instead of tying it to vendor.
Morale: premature optimization is premature.
It should state clearly both the positive and negative examples
of rootfs concept use (its name is not consiceenough unfortunately,
and I haven't come up with a better one yet).
+net-eth covers both stage2 and base installation parts
while use/stage2/net-eth would result in an inobvious
catch when udev-rule-generator-net would hit install2
but not the installed system, and interface bindings
would be carried over from installer to the installation
but would *not* be updated in case of changed network
card(s) configuration.
It was spilled over an intermediate target and a mixin
for what looks like no good reason; let's factor these
in by means of +net-eth as *both* are really needed
for an installer anyways, and if/when we do installers
with those new and crippled ethernet interface names
this addition can be dropped to be used where required.
The bare intermediate target did use/stage2/net-eth but it
was found out by sem@ that an installed server would lack
udev-rule-generator-net package so its ethernet interface
naming would be inherited from install2 stage only; fix it
by adding use/net-eth and reduce the churn with +net-eth.
"use/stage2/net-eth use/net-eth" would be common enough
for installers or livecd images to just get these pulled in
together by a convenient shortcut thus reducing confusion
and chances to just forget one of these counterparts.
It looks *ugly* on-screen, at least within regular builds,
even if the screen is 166dpi.
Based on a quick experiment this morning I'd suggest using
fonts-otf-adobe-source-{code,sans}-pro instead -- and it's
available as use/fonts/otf/adobe now, incidentally.
The documentation is still built with it though as a2x/fop look
unhappy otherwise (as in replacing Cyrillic glyphs with "#"s).
Font packages are sprinkled all over the metaprofiles,
let's try and help make their use more systematic.
This is a sort of a feature abuse as it was conceived
for fontconfig setup originally but spawning features
with confusing names looks grim; so let all things fonts
live within a feature named "fonts" for the time being.
Thanks mithraen@ for creating a universal frontend script
for udisksctl/pmount/hmount user mount tools; let's try it
within the minimalistic GUI image for the starters.
There's not much sense in overduplication of documentation
(tends to get stale faster then), still it's not good to
just refer to the code as the PDF/HTML book is less useful
then; maybe drifting towards "recommended" bits with more
"advanced" things being impleentation-defined is better.
That's a part of ALT Linux conveniences: system log
messages at tty12 (helps immensely in case of disk crash
or cable problems as running anything, including utilities
to view logs, becomes painful to impossible in such cases).
systemd lacks this kind of setup out-of-box for sure
so zerg@ hacked a substitute together; just pull that in.
vkni@ removed fonts-bitmap-cyr_rfx-iso10646-0400
from WindowMaker dependencies; I think that's wrong
but life is short so let's compensate that here as
at least regular-gnustep.iso degrades (GNUstep menus
are rendered in fixed bitmap font then).
