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...
As it happens, I've stumbled upon a successfully built image
with alterator-grub in BASE and lilo in install2's installer-steps.
Of course the installer bailed out after dealing with packages :-/
Thanks Leo-sp50 for pointing out the (hopefully) right direction.
There's still an annoying problem (a race?) manifesting itself
as installer bailing out between packages installation and lilo
setup with X segfault in logs; while the culprit is not known yet,
let's avoid that for most images by moving the bootloader request
from the former "leaf" target (which noe became a "node") into an
experimental server-systemd one.
Thanks Leo-sp50 for bringing that to my attention again; see also
http://forum.russ2.com/index.php?showtopic=3310&pid=31364&st=0&#entry31364
As was duly noted by Leo-sp50, both server.mk and desktop.mk
duplicate a few bits layered over bare distro/installer which
happened to be both a dependency (thus should reduce redundancy)
and a "real distro" target (well, it doesn't just work yet, need
to provide networking and sources.list in install2 by hand).
Fixed by moving a "node" to distro/.installer along with typical
additions and leaving a bare installer as is by now; there's a
need to get it working at least for DHCP/ftp.altlinux.org case.
From now on, non-empty SAVE_PROFILE variable will indicate
the need to carry the particular generated profile inside
the image built from it.
Thanks gns@ for this feature in liveflash.eeepc.
So far the tagged scripts concept is too fragile,
and these were used unconditionally anyways.
features.in/Makefile is broken regarding copying
tagged scripts right now...
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).
It's rather unexpected that someone would do an X11 LiveCD
without user autologin -- but even if that's the case,
then this waypoint is just not used for it.
Courtesy of prividen@, there's actual x86_64 client support in ALTSP.
Although led@ tells that it's i586 optimization that hurts on i686+
and should be replaced with either i486 or i686 for that matter...
A larger block size was recommended by led@;
gns@ seems to concur as the 512k value was borrowed
from liveflash.eeepc profile (along with -noI).
The other issue is with binary specific compressors:
x86 was clearly assumed while the data for an educated
guess are pretty handy. Please note that using filters
incurs additional compression attempts for the utility
to choose the best result.
There was a somewhat subtle Makefile->main.mk rename leftover
lurking in "everything" target: the default Makefile got used,
not the supposed main.mk -- which resulted in an attempt to
get way too much job done (the number of builds per target
became $ARCH squared, not just $ARCH).
Huge thanks to led@ for being an inspiring pedantic!
A minimal chroot supporting extension via apt-get;
vitals if built on Sisyphus as of Jan 16, 2012:
i586: 13M tar.xz, 58M chroot (33M w/o /usr/share/{doc,locale,man})
x86_64: 14M tar.xz, 60M chroot (35M w/o /usr/share/{doc,locale,man})
Trivial fixups (extra checks) added to two script hooks.
As was found out by Vladimir Karpinsky (thanks for patience!),
the autochosen directory might still have too restrictive mount
options -- nodev and/or noexec. Hopefully the diags are a bit
better and faster by now.
It happens that if the host environment isn't particularly
tuned up for package builds already then bin/mktmpdir might
come up with a directory outside hasher-allowed prefix list;
now that's a shame and not a Christmas gift, clearly.
Thanks Vladimir Karpinsky for pointing this problem out too.
It was briefly mentioned in QUICKSTART but somehow managed
to evade the commandlines provided. And while at it, let's
make errors like this more explicit to avoid extra lookups.
Oh, and fix QUICKSTART so that readers miss the hassle. :)
Thanks Vladimir Karpinsky for pointing this problem out.
doc/variables.txt was missing the already-existing BUILDLOG
variable description, and ARCHES got added during multi-target
toplevel rewrite. Other minor fixes come as appropriate.
The fallback case of building in a brother directory moved
from the last line of code to the first one becoming more
explicit along the way.
Support for slash-containing argument (being a tmpdir name
template prefix) has been added.
The former toplevel Makefile is now toplevel main.mk;
this change allows for multi-target, multi-arch processing
in the current toplevel Makefile.
As the "build" symlink semantics change quite considerably
when one is doing bulk builds (several pruned builddirs might
be useful for comparison), BUILDDIR is now much more likely
to be recreated: the cases when it will persist are when it's
either a single-image build or when the prefix hasn't changed.
There are some more or less subtle bugfixes and enhancements
all over the map as well.
Done within 20111230..20120102 timeframe, actually...
First, let's not do rsync --delete on an unverified target dir
again: the lesson was learned during a subway hacking session
and I must say that SSDs are frightening fast (even if it was
more than a second to realize what happens and terminate the
extermination before it got /home, thanks xterm).
Second, let's use a variable for common name and make's own
realpath function instead of external binary.
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.
*_PACKAGES and *_LISTS shouldn't inflict copypasted blocks;
we can iterate over these just fine.
NB: dump-*, not dump_*, due to namespace pollution hurting
debug target if done the latter way (in case someone misses
the morning tea as wel).
As current devmapper doesn't allow for simultaneous
mounts of virtually the same device by different names
(signalled by "Device or resource busy" when trying to
e.g. mount /dev/sda2 but with /dev/evms/sda2 being just
fine), EVMS triggering such behaviour but rarely needed
should be avoided altogether until a hook to disable it
is in place.
Fixed up the remnants of the early style mix
to correspond to the proposed doc/style.txt;
the rationale being that
if [ ... ]; then
...
...
fi
is the more readable construct among itself,
if test ...; then
...
...
fi
and
[ ... ] && {
...
...
}
due to the condition being more distinguishable
when bracketed and the body more apparent as the
one inside "if" and not any other block; the less
obvious difference is that the final construct of
the latter form is prone to the whole script exit
status being non-zero if the condition isn't met.
