It's been ignored since the introduction of deflogin feature
and removal of build-vm specific ROOTPW variable handling;
might be adjusted to mandate this for vm/bare too, have to
think it over.
0.6.3 has introduced some changes that were deemed incompatible
with t6/p6 branches; it should be possible to restore compatibility
at least for non-EFI images but the effort required hasn't been
up for grabs so far.

The problem with initial implementation (commit 62e7e9c)
is that there's no systemd-services package in p7/branch
thus apt complains about an attempt to remove something
that doesn't even exist in the first place.
Aimed at live images at first but should cover installers as well.
This has been brewing for quite some time and while the proper
implementation is considerably more complex (and hard to do)
looks like there's demand for the particular important use case,
namely LiveCDs for Russian users, so this code has been shared
with a few people before merge.
There's a particular problem with lazy evaluation
in case of BOOT_LANG: mkimage uses internal variable,
BOOT_LANG = $(GLOBAL_BOOT_LANG) (note the lack of
immediate assignment there), and if we set up
export GLOBAL_BOOT_LANG = $(BOOT_LANG)
in the same namespace we end up with recursively
defined pair of variables; a ":=" in either place
would save the day _but_ it's not there in m-p due to
accumulator variables, e.g. USERS, which are defined
and exported by a corresponding feature and then get
populated *after* having been declared for export,
_and_ it's not in mkimage as of 0.2.16 for some reason
that might even be good (I don't know yet).
This has been asked for by lewellyn@freenode, why not.
NB: distro/.regular-sysv doesn't include use/net-eth/dhcp
(as it looks like asking for) since there's still hope
to get NM cooperating with sysvinit again.
Both locale and keyboard have been set up already,
no use to waste time on those (which results in 'us'
keyboard layout missing out totally, ironically).
Thanks aris@ for the tip.
There are quite a few potentially useful packages
implementing FUSE based (userspace) filesystems,
these are typically lightweight and still might be
helpful to someone stuck with our rescue image...
xfdashboard is a GNOME Shell-like window switching interface
and application runner; xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin is another
(KDE-like) menu search facility; thanks sem@ for suggestions.
The issue at hand is that interactivesystem pulls in
network-config-subsystem and that one has several providers
by now, systemd-networkd being one of them since recently
(and pulling in systemd).
Just the same problem as with systemd-journal; both might be
fixed by reworking mkimage to allow for different package name
resolution modes:
- "slap everything together and resolve with one-shot"
to handle conflictless situations (most of those);
- "process multiple transactions to allow for conflicts"
thus making it possible to include e.g. a few MTAs into
the provided package base.
Ensure that systemd is outside by explicitly telling so
in the pkglist.
E19 would ask the user if they want to shut down
when facing power button event; it won't get a chance
though as the system will hurl down immediately as per
acpid-events-power package provided configuration.
set() is a function of two variables but the and()
check for *both* is incorrect as one might need to
override a previously set variable with empty string;
this has manifested itself with a case like this:
@$(call set,ROOTPW_EMPTY,1)
# ...
@$(call set,ROOTPW_EMPTY,)
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.
