...by moving reference to a package list that *deducts*
packages from a feature (that should lend itself for reuse)
to a particular distribution's configuration (that can have
some specific polish).
The problem was that basing junior on slinux feature while
adding some KDE/Qt-based packages to it failed miserably
in a hard-to-debug manner: adding every package that's been
requested but not installed by hand suddenly made it build,
see also http://altlinux.org/mkimage/debug [ru]
mixin/desktop-installer became *quite* inobvious
even for me over time, and it's not easy to grep up;
let's introduce explicit targets where one is expected
to expect those.
rootfs scripts should hit installer some day; the problem
is with variables (dumping 'em wholesale looks dirty,
and proxying those sort of defeats the approach)
rather than with scripts.
Until then, transform the data from the single variable
into a file containing one facility per line for
installer-1.8.31+ to consume.
As noted in the comment, these include a few quite strong ones:
- sshd(8) will only allow in "wheel" and "users" members
by keys, no password access is allowed;
- password change even by root is subject to quality checks;
- su(8) is only useful to lower privileges and not gain those
(so root access is available either through local console
or via use of ssh keys).
Don't use if frowned upon.
This is based on distro/regular-jeos but torn into two
and somewhat updated for sisyphus-going-to-bring-p8:
1) libcap-ng is now required by util-linux;
2) bridge-utils might be needed for subsequent images.
Those packages which are *required* should be available
for standalone use; and those which are optional should go
into extras.
Adjust server feature accordingly.
The issue with these "; @:" thinglets is that mkimage-profiles
relies on target tracing (see commit 788cad8 some four years ago);
and this tracing approach relies on non-empty recipes which do call
shell (which gets (ab)used) unlike empty ones which oviously don't.
So this _will_ be traced properly:
a: b
@echo "hello world"
and this will too:
a: b; @:
but this will result in a broken graph with REPORT=1:
a: b
icon-theme-oxygen is required by kf5-oxygen <- kde5 <- kde5-big
by now so it's not needed to specify it explicitly anymore;
and zerg@ has just packaged some translations, let's jump in!
There's /usr/share/qt5/translations/ now too, handle that.
OTOH we've got some CJK support already, time to split up
those "cleanups" into some target locale set dependent form.
This has no users in master but out-of-tree branches might need
a trivial update.
The rationale is that it's actually for *any* stage2 and not related
to specifically "install" at all (otherwise it should have been moved
to install2 feature altogether).
Note that there's no reason to add nfs-utils similarly as make-initrd
requires kinit-utils which includes its own nfsmount.
The "best" "feature" of systemd "init system" has just
emerged once again: it will happily sit there idling
given startup or shutdown loops resulting in what looks
like a hang to an unsuspecting user; let's provide the
suspecting one with at least some tools described at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging
The issue with this was that plain use/browser/firefox/esr
didn't actually pull in the feature as such; it MUST NOT
pull in use/browser/firefox since it will change semantics
from "if it's Firefox make it ESR" to outright "use FX ESR"
(starterkits depend on the former and it was intentional).
FX_FLAVOUR variable can be set anywhere to switch
use/browser/firefox to prefer ESR packages, including
the appropriate localization ones.
Note that there's no dependency as it can be set in e.g.
starterkits (still unset in regular builds) wholesale
but shouldn't affect those of them lacking firefox.
The reason behind this silly patch is that the default URL
can be left alone with no rebuilds neccessary but with the
intranet services delivered through a "captive portal" or
a redirecting proxy; we definitely don't want the canonical
wiki URL, http://www.altlinux.org, blocked by a rule made
for redirecting the default homepage, so let it be another
one which is served but not widely known or linked to.
This makes use of IM_PACKAGES variable processed by
newly added im feature so that DE-specific targets
could tell which DE-specific IM packages they'd like
on a system *iff* use/im has been requested.
Might be lacking right now, to be sorted out with
the actual users.
This one has been brewin' for quite a while but has been
completed finally; some tweaks sure can come in later but
it's working.
Please note that it's rather needed for "proper" distros
with specific branding and docs packages prepared for those;
one should use l10n feature most likely too.
The "full" target should care for rescue bits as well
(remember that THE_* won't go there); thus regular-rescue.iso
will receive these couple hundred useful kilobytes as well.
It's the very same problem that must be solved within mkimage:
some package lists get expanded early and some late thus having
no chance to influence apt's choices of alternatives made early
(in fact, too early).
Until that, here's another kludge...
PS: turns out that ^systemd- is not "drop ^systemd" but rather:
systemd-analyze
systemd-coredump
systemd-journal-gateway
systemd-networkd
systemd-sysvinit
-- thus one /really/ wants something else.
This one was an experimental but the server is long
offline and isn't going back up; remove the obsolete
config snippet, if/when it's done again it's the easiest
part to be restored (the implementation should provide
HTTP/FTP/NFS-publishable deliverables without the need
to extract those from ISO images).
This one relies on the controversial polkit-sysvinit package
that subverts policykit using well known groups to make it
"work" for things like NM and shutdown helpers.
See also http://altlinux.org/sysvinit and feel free to improve.
/etc/sudoers is persistent with regard to userdel(8)
so removing a LiveCD user isn't going to drop this kind
of the added privilege and might result in an unintended
grant of those by adding a user with the same name after
permanent LiveCD installation.
This has been spotted by Speccyfighter:
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/31071
This one is alike to install2's one; it's not a shared rootfs
script/variable though as contexts differ a lot, let's be careful.
The commit has been missing from 1.1.64 somehow, found in patch
series while figuring out why LIVE_CLEANUP_KDRIVERS seems to be
just ignored in live-privacy *after* the massive rebase of that
branch...
There's a convention that syslinux configuration snippets
carrying the names of subprofiles involved are picked up
automatically; there were a few special cases already
when this is actually inconvenient, and there's another
one at hand so let's just step up and do it.
NB: this is a sort of a hacky hook though, wish an elegant
interface would come to mind some day.
The added initscript used to be purged by 98-init-rescue
which has been somewhat overlooked during vain attempts
to build an image that would actually run it!
This one provides cmdline arguments for startup-rescue >= 0.24
which would bring up networking and sshd in its turn thus allowing
remote access to the host booted in this mode.
The feature has been asked for by many people including mithraen@
and valintinr@ (and I'd make use of it another day too).
See the appropriate startup-rescue commit description for notes
on implementation; this default set of variable values should be
both useful and illustrative though.
A recent commit has dropped wireless support from
regular server images; staging modules might still
come handy in some situations, let's keep those in
but not as a part of default installation.
This one is likely to get just a single user right now
but the future potential is clearly higher.
Please do review libzmalloc implementation if concerned.
