It might benefit the existing users to be able to configure the
build node persistently across reboots; though the need for something
like NFS overlay or repo settings piggybacked over DHCP is still there
(just ask ildar@).
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.
Thanks to Baurzhan Muftakhidinov's efforts along with help
from cas@ and zerg@, regular images should now support Kazakh
fairly well at least in terms of translation; this commit amends
these images with Ukrainian too and adds an experimental razorqt
based distribution that boots in kk_KZ by default.
There's no NetworkManager or connman in this lightweight image
so let's put at least the lightweight connection specific GUIs
like this one; proposed on the forum by Speccyfighter and
acked by squire as useful for traffic-metered plans:
http://forum.altlinux.org/index.php/topic,28619.msg201159.html#msg201159
Suggested by YYY; the initial plan was to include CUPS
in all the regular images but that turned out to be
impractical (too much bits added with too few actual
usage per bit expected).
So let's take s-c-p along with cups.
A syslogd is required by interactivesystem and we definitely
don't want any extra systemd on a sysvinit image.
Thanks Speccyfighter on the forum for the observation.
The former helps totem a lot regarding actual video reproduction,
suggested for gnome3-default metapackage; the latter helps aris@
to actually get any sound out, so is supposed to land there too.
A duplicate has formed while factoring out bare target;
as currently only the rescue image uses it in a special way
and that one benefits from additional crypto packages as well,
let's put LUKS related packages into bare for the time being.
The persistent storage is a nice addition to LiveCD images;
it doesn't come for free though in terms of performance
(especially for the first boot), so it should stay optional.
Note that use/live/rw belongs to base and not bare since
otherwise rescue becomes rescue+live which is superfluous;
hence the special use/rescue/rw.
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*.
The original mkisofs would only care for the proper ISO9660 image
but we've switched to xorriso which is able to perform the hack
to yield UEFI hybrid images; thus no need for the postprocessing.
Requires mkimage >= 0.2.5 and xorriso (obviously).
Added sysklogd and udev-rule-generator-net there too; if someone
needs to inherit a systemd based image from distro/.desktop-network
don't break the existing behaviour please.
Rebased tde flavours to .desktop-network as these were the actual
target to fix.
There's some peculiarity causing Sisyphus' initrd
(namely led-ws and make-initrd{,-propagator} of today
to die with this message while booting the resulting ISO:
initrd: Running /scripts/pre/prepare/000-propagator
FATAL ERROR IN INIT: mkdir
I can't recover from this,please reboot manually and send bugreport.
It's required by make-initrd-propagator in "rw slice" mode
when the remainder of an USB Flash drive is prepared and used
for persistent storage; fdisk is also immensely useful in general.
Please see the bug for explanations; too bad I chose to limit this
workaround to experimental gnustep image yesterday when aen@ suggested
to apply it universally...
Whoops, and I was mildly wondering where are alterator modules...
thanks Speccyfighter again for bringing attention to the issue
which has turned out to be ultimately caused by an overlooked bit
being missing.
The real issue was that regular-tde.iso was discovered to
lack FAT support in alterator-vm (known as #28470); as the
filesystem specific packages are pulled in via rescue lists
let's add it here along with dosfstools.
Thanks Speccyfighter at forum.altlinux.org for spotting this.
