674e1482ae live: added preliminary l10n support
The missing part so far is passing "lang=ab_CD" to the kernel;
it's done with gfxboot and is somewhat doable without it...

600fc011cb live: added 03services hook
This script specifies the (excessive) lists of services
to be enabled and disabled explicitly; these are mostly based
on profiles/live/image-scripts.d/init3-services from m-p-d.

There might be systemd related pecularities though...

4858791145 virtualbox feature renamed to vm, extended
Initial SPICE support has been added for kvm/libvirt installation
and boot-up using qxl and spice by default as proposed by shaba@.

VirtualBox part is shifted a level deeper correspondingly
but otherwise stays the same.

86c42e2db6 implemented {THE,BASE,LIVE}_PACKAGES_REGEXP
There were STAGE1_PACKAGES_REGEXP and MAIN_PACKAGES_REGEXP
but adding more of those was postponed to avoid bloat and
bitrot; THE_PACKAGES_REGEXP is needed for use/firmware now
and looks like BASE_PACKAGES_REGEXP and LIVE_PACKAGES_REGEXP
will be useful before too long either.

Docs updated to include stage-specific package related vatiables.

6fee43e9cb live: tweak autologin warning
Should be removed when console autologin is there
(mind the live-builder).

4afd735adb live-flightgear.iso lacked sound
Thanks snejok@ for spotting the missing, I didn't get around
to tests with headphones...

Also fixed nouveau getting in after target shuffling,
and tweaked firefox homepage to be useful in this context.

3d649db656 live: introduce homepage redirector knobs
There are three more variables to adjust the redirect page:
HOMEPAGE, HOMENAME and HOMEWAIT; e.g. live-webkiosk is now
quite a bit more whitelabel.

b5e6906b56 syslinux configuration revisited
- incompatible change (to fix the rather broken early style):
  use/syslinux/ui-% is now use/syslinux/ui/%;

- default timeout changed to 9 seconds (long enough and keeps
  the countdown in a single figure);

- added totaltimeout of 300 seconds;

- provided live kiosk images with almost-instant boot by default;

...and some other assorted tweaks here and there, sorry.

afd84973d9 live-webkiosk-mini.iso: 85M is enough
Thanks to a reviewer who came with useful feedback and a goal:
http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID3/83728.html#136
the live-webkiosk image got forked into a separate one:

- dropped DRI, virtualbox GA, mc & co, docs, rpmdb;
- added Russian keyboard layout (ctrl+shift to toggle);
- rebased live-webkiosk onto live-webkiosk-mini ;-)

Maybe vbox guest additions will get back but rpmdb is a bit
impractical on a kiosk squashfs image, even in presence of
aufs rw overlay.

1b885b3d24 cleanup scripts rehashed
There's much reason for reuse instead of duplication
among the different stage2-based subprofiles.

In particular, the rather monolithic driver cleanup script
of the ancient is better done in several clear pieces with
the final depmod run.

Scripts dropping apt/rpm databases will dump pkglist first.

A script purging /boot/* will honour live-install if present.

Minor inno^Wfixups all over the map too.

50a0c66899 fix live-install image
Removing /boot stuff from the live root was a nice idea
to spare some space except that live-install depends on it...

b6e640bd8d slimmer webkiosk with Russian layout
Thanks someone for review and feedback:
http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID3/83728.html#136

Better cleanup and i18n controls are due but in the meantime,
let's at least build something actually useful.

79bb3f8d6e plant SHELL beacons into all config-forming rules
As noted in doc/assumptions.txt, the SHELL based target tracing
only works for rules with recipes, even empty but present ones.

The simplest thing to do is hooking "; @:" onto the rule's tail
(one-liner with a non-printing shell builting "true" command).

a52b7476a4 initial "+shortcut" support and refactoring
It looks like the intermediate targets aren't all equal:
some define a finished feature while some create a common
lower level piece of configuration.

Let's do shortcuts for the former so that a distro line can be
more terse and descriptive; help targets in features.in/ tweaked
accordingly.

dc9b706619 features.in/live: implemented lightdm autologin
The main part is done as per
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#Enable_Autologin;
there's an issue that the lightdm developer insist that autologin
user belongs to "nopasswdlogin" group though.

a62cdfa69e 50-etcnet-dhcp: moved from dev to live feature
If there's an ethernet interface, a DHCP client, and these
can result in connectivity out-of-box, then it's rather
a feature for almost any LiveCD.

Thus the configuration script is moved from dev feature
to live one with the addition of dhcpcd/dhclient test.
This is asking for some more neat solution though...

97e1be6a31 features.in/live: introduced live.hooks support
The implementation builds upon liveflash.eeepc by gns@;
thanks <sol/codis.ru> who suggested adding it to live-webkiosk

c39c100cdc conf.d/live.mk: initial live-webkiosk
This one starts up a Firefox session in kiosk mode
(there are several extensions, I find hsv@'s one
preferable) and tries to browse /image/index.html
which corresponds to index.html in the image root
(could be edited by means of e.g. isomaster).

3fcbed3378 features.in/live: added 90-cleanup-boot script
Spotted /boot/vmlinuz* in a live environment,
and wondered why waste a few megs of potentially
precious space...

8fbf3585b0 40-autologin: don't do runlevel 5 if X is absent
We can do textmode live images, after all.
Some sort of autologin would be useful there too
but doing it right is less obvious to me at the moment...

96e89d0062 s/subst/sed -i/g
Initial openSUSE package base taming effort has shown that
relatively few things should be fixed; subst has been generalized
as -i option to sed(1) since its introduction, so let's just fix it.

c5e559b7b9 stop abusing use/live/*
Some parts of *image* configuration started slipping down
into the *feature* configuration, and that was wrong; fixed.

Also introduced proper use/live/x11 (via use/x11/xorg with added
wacom support for the sake of #26723/#26724) and rebased the
pre-existing descendants onto it.

d6972a39bf introduced THE_{KMODULES,PACKAGES,LISTS,GROUPS}
As too many things started duplicating between distros proper
and (e.g. corresponding) LiveCDs, it became apparent that a class
of entities which end up working for THE_USER (not a sysadmin,
and not a developer, just a Linux user) is in need.

So THE_KMODULES will power installed basesystem and live image,
while THE_PACKAGES, THE_LISTS and THE_GROUPS will participate
in building those.

1b3b38b7c5 subprofiles: minor docs extension

1d66879681 live/stage2cfg.mk: rather LIVE_GROUPS
This one used to use LIVE_MAIN_GROUPS which seems to be
overlooked substitution artifact from walking over
GLOBAL_PKG_GROUPS and GLOBAL_LIVE_PKG_GROUPS of m-p-d...
(not that LIVE_GROUPS are defined anywhere yet)

cd998fef41 initial live autologin
use/live/autologin target tries hard to configure any available
autologin means, including a dedicated package and a few DMs.

Thanks gns@ as liveflash.eeepc got robbed somewhat.

3d78fd75e4 introduced live-install support
It was actually trivial given that the script was already
maintained as a package by enp@ and msp@; its usage requires
one to manually partition the target disk and optionally
mkswap in advance.

9cedefdba9 introduced add_feature function
The features might get copy-pasted (or even copied-and-pruned)
when initialized; there's an unneccessary duplication of the
function name in the line adding it to FEATURES list, thus
prone to being forgotten and causing some havoc later on.

It was wrong in the first place but tackling this with some
double-colon rules ran into terminality issues, and further
tortures were considered unneccessary.

The current solution isn't perfect (no completely transparent
function name registration upon corresponding target being called)
but at least it is an improvement...

73f676f92c live: set up basic unicode locale
This only deals with console output (a text livecd doesn't ask
the user regarding the preferred language so far).

83392012d4 live-builder distro: your self-hosted livecd
If you make distro/live-builder.iso, the result is an image
containing almost everything (short of actual full enough
repository) to rebuild itself.  It will attempt to configure
eth0 with DHCP and reach http://ftp.altlinux.org for packages.

RAM requirements start with 2Gb, self-build is accomplished
on a 4Gb host with "make CLEAN=1 distro/live-builder.iso".

Packages required for "make distro/syslinux.iso" get included.

(some due fixups all over the place too)

b56df31624 cosmetic fixup (s/GROUPS/MAIN_GROUPS/g)
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).

cf81cc6785 live, rescue, and use tags
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)

f5a8b89381 stage2 based live subprofiles, updated docs
- 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
