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.
NB: for the feature to work properly the chosen branding
package set should have proper Provides: and Conflicts:,
specifically it must explicitly conflict with the most
lexicographically cool package set around (these days
it's sisyphus-server-light).
use/slinux-live: in p6 slinux had install-dvd version too
lists/slinux/misc-dvd: user 3d-proprietary comes from use/x11/3d-proprietary
lists/slinux/misc-dvd:restore compiz
slinux: use/syslinux/localboot.cfg
Sometimes it's desirable to provide the kernel supporting
maximal amount of RAM on the system; bad news is that x86
has a kludge named PAE, good news is that x86_64 doesn't
need it at all; but now we must be able to choose between
those.
BIGRAM will hold the flavour needed.
There's no real reason to keep bcmwl and ndiswrapper
around exclusively as the currently available support
vastly takes over the early attempts at the task.
(it's not about bare firmware though, and some day
something like use/hardware/wireless should get in)
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.
It is actually an effort by glebfm@ to create an experimental
systemd-based Simply Linux LiveCD; I merely reviewed the original
diff, moved kernel related bits to firmware (see preceding commits)
and introduced a dedicated pkglist namespace by creating a directory.
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.
glebfm@ asked what to do with new package lists: whether these
belong to features, or to distributions themselves. This question
is actually open and up for discussion but there are guidelines
that can and should be written down already; and so they were.
Added pkgdups utility reference as well.
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.
- 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.
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.
This one should help (erm... hope not the other way around!)
testing both 3D setup and FlightGear packages I happen to
maintain in a known clean environment.
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).
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.
There are pseudo-distro targets that are useful to combine
the needed bits and pieces for a few more different end-user
images but that are useless themselves (e.g. desktop-base
wouldn't even start X session before someone would have
installed a window manager).
Let's just hide these under the hood so that `make help',
`make everything' and potential frontends don't bother.
ltsp-icewm used to be the only ALTSP (testbed) distro over here
but now its terminal server part works good enough to seperate
it from the UI part.
A few additions to facilitate testing, tweaking and benchmarking:
iftop, openssh-server, mplayer
If we have a supported display manager, we should rather autoconfigure
that one for autologin instead of configuring autologin package:
those tend to play better with "modern" session management in terms
of runlevel control etc.
xdm doesn't really differ though.
TODO: maybe skip autologin *package* configuration if any dm found
in the live image-script?
It's preferred for Razor-qt's logout app to be able to turn
the system off or reboot it; xdm lacks consolekit support.
Thanks Alexander Sokoloff for the hint.
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.
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.
