6fd1c86412 live: s/fonts-ttf-droid/fonts-otf-mozilla-fira/
fonts-ttf-droid have been superseded by fonts-ttf-google-droid-sans
in Sisyphus which might be lacking; I've considered replacing it
with Fira anyways, so let's just do that.

b9de03f79a live, live.mk: use/browser now
Firefox was the very reasonable default for initial livecd
implementation but now that at least initial browser chooser
infrastructure is in place it's time to un-hardwire its use.

It's _the_ default but switchable now so that images providing
a comprehensive browser can avoid feature duplication.

db4b3d10b2 live: don't chkconfig dm explicitly
dm service is set up to autostart when installed anyways,
and explicit `chkconfig dm on' results in it being turned on
at runlevels 2, 3 and 4 too which is really not needed.

Thanks led@ for spotting and reporting this.

a9c9b032e8 live: use/deflogin (along with fixups)
It appears that live feature has been buggy regarding user
groups: its 30-users script would create a predefined account
with fixed supplementry groups list, and even if deflogin feature
got used too it would fail to add any groups to already existing
account since its useradd(8) call would fail.

Let's drop this duplication which has been long overdue anyways.

Thanks dd@ for both reporting the problem and carrying out
initial investigation.

53f05f46a8 live: put rpcbind to local-only mode by default
We don't really want to disable NFS portmapper completely
but having some extra root code listening to the world is
really unneccessary unless explicitly required.

Applying "control rpcbind local", thanks ldv@ for advice.

5d829265db live, net: shift and rework network and resolver setup
50-setup-network was a hasty hack (surprise!) that used to do
what net and net-eth features have been created to do since;
just drop the duplicated crufty code.

Unconditional resolver setup isn't done now: those with static
setup are better off doing it explicitly, and those with DHCP
should be fine already.

NB: /etc/hosts *is* fine within setup package *but* hasher will
    overwrite it with a copy of host's one; let's reset contents
    to initial at least until hasher gets fixed and the fix is
    rather deployed in the wild.

75bf4afcaa live: use/services instead of homemade script hook
03-services was a hasty hack that has been long done properly
elsewhere, namely in a specialized feature; finally got around
to deduplicate it out.

0fb4b58771 live: use lateboot for textinstall
use/live/textinstall target is a base for those images whose
target audience tends to be somewhat more experienced; these
might prefer to just boot off the image instead of having to
perform any extra action like pressing down arrow and enter.

This is also to help msp@'s homeros-*.iso boot immediately.

1b0d05100c live: employ xdg-user-dirs feature
use/live/install stopped to provide a desktop icon; the nuance is
that zdg-user-dirs-install.sh script in livecd-install package
expects ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to actually do that.

ee703cef93 factor out xdg-user-dirs feature
This script hook used to lurk in live feature but was deemed needed
in cubox images too; thus it's time to move it into a standalone
feature (maybe a configurable one, even).

Thanks glebfm@ for initial shot and sem@ for discussion.

b683d5d751 live: factor out x11-autologin
Hardly belonged there in the first place and became a culprit
during armh branch development since it had to be forked in
an ugly manner; move to rootfs hooks and be done with it.

VM images will be able to benefit either *but* installed systems
might have some trouble when this is implemented:
http://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/devel/2013-May/197447.html

Split off use/live/x11 as a common free/proprietary ground either
(this refactoring had to be performed in parallel with x11 feature
being revamped, diffs quickly became intertangled unfortunately).

ea8a908931 x11: driver and purpose related refactoring
This has had several goals:
- a target suitable for x86 and armh providing a rather
  minimal set of base xorg packages and generic drivers;
- task-oriented targets for graphics use cases:
  + "desktop" means rather 2D focus with 3D being welcome
    or even essential but not performance critical, thus
    "a slower driver is fine as long as it does work";
  + "3d" means specific 3D performance being critical,
    that is "no 3D means no use at all".

Regarding the free and proprietary 3D-capable drivers:
the previous idea was to split out some common ground
and then add the contenders on top of that; the current
approach is based on the observation that the live images
requiring proprietary NVIDIA/AMD drivers *by default*
are usually of not much use with hardware that lacks
proper 3D acceleration (like Tseng cards) or the driver
support for that (like Matrox these days).

Intel videodriver makes for a special case though:
it is both free and top-notch performer.

Thanks sem@ and boyarsh@ for discussion.

PS: xorg-drv-{keyboard,mouse,void} dropped;
those who need these can usually help themselves.

67adab492f initial rootfs subprofile and services feature
This subprofile is akin to THE_* variables family: the configuration
bits and script hooks sitting there influence whatever chroot is
declared to be the user facing one in the end, whether it comes
from vm image or live subprofile.

The services feature ought to be a changeset of its own which would
be based on rootfs and become the base for ve/vm changes but I chose
to just do it atomically; some pre-existing duplicates are pruned now.

0f4ee98fa4 live: reworked use/live/repo
The expected behaviour is to have online repositories enabled
when the livecd is running; the trouble with runtime detection
relates to the asynchronous nature of network configuration,
connection might get probed just before it is brought up
(thus failing the test).

Systems having been installed-from-live don't misbehave this way
so left unmolested.

Runtime detection is still available via use/live/repo/online
but is definitely not the default mechanism.

429ce58608 added live_rw support
There's a need for a separate boot target since
persistent storage is way slower than tmpfs indeed;
usbflash has a tendency for huge performance drops
given simultaneous writes in addition to reads which
are the bottleneck already.

make-initrd-propagator 0.18 introduced ext4 rw slice,
so the corresponding kernel module needs to be included
into stage1; see also #28289.

NB: not available on x86_64-efi (or hybrid GPT to be strict)
due to fragility of the hack being made: parted(8) panics
upon seeing that, and good ol' fdisk is unable to treat it.

NB: use/live/rw use/rescue/rx use/syslinux/ui/gfxboot
are unlikely to play very nice together due to the latter's
magic l10n: "session" label is taken by live_rw config snippet
and *is* translated in design-bootloader-source;
OTOH "rescue_session" is *not*.

32cc9a67dd live, stage2: net-eth moved

91466e6643 net-eth: moved from regular.mk to live feature
It'd be better for this commit to appear before 0.9.7
(and clobber the original one) but at least the added
functionality has been tested; time to generalize it.

02791834f9 distro/installer, use/live/x11 += use/firmware
This is thanks to the fact that alterator-based install2 needs
alterator-browser-qt which needs X11 which needs working device drivers
-- and at least AMD C60 APU would only yield a nice dotted white screen
without that firmware.

Roughly the same for X11 bearing LiveCD images.

b21353a00c complex subprofile delimiter changed ("/" -> "@")
That sub/stage2/install2 was somewhat clumsy actually as it looked
like a hierarchical thing while being a substitution thing:
generic stage2 would get put in place renamed as install2.

This could only get worse with hierarchical features which have
already been both requested and considered for quite a time,
and "stage2 at install2" reads much more naturally.

59c1bf9705 initial nodm autologin support
This one is contributed by Max Kosmach and somewhat
streamlined/tweaked by me; a part of it rather belongs to
nodm and xinitrc packages but is not exactly trivial to get it
there due to the looming systemd-logind/consolekit disaster;
see also #27449.

Several hacks to make NetworkManager usable in a LiveCD environment
are there too (but it resists so far).

6b0e583843 live: factored out installation options
After having added metadata dependency livecd-install
started to look more like a feature than like an intermediate
distribution target; so things were shuffled a bit that way.

4858791145 virtualbox feature renamed to vm, extended

but otherwise stays the same.

4afd735adb live-flightgear.iso lacked sound

and tweaked firefox homepage to be useful in this context.

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.

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.

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.

3d78fd75e4 introduced live-install support

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...

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)

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

- use make-initrd-propagator
- updated and somewhat extended doc/
