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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Some more filesystem related utilities inspired by PLD rescue
are due indeed; but ntfsprogs are obsoleted by ntfs-3g, in fact.
iotop and iperf were suggested by stalker@.
The bin/pkgdups.sh script comes from m-p-d in considerably optimized
form and is to be used with the pkglist files of interest passed
as its arguments to produce a "hall of duplicates" among those.
The tagged lists received some updates along the rescue image lines,
most of those are actually inspired by http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/
and to lesser extent a few articles on rescue/recovery/forensics
software -- so some newcomers are even employed already.
New stuff:
* distro/live-icewm -- basic icewm livecd with autologin;
* distro/live-rescue -- yet another gparted^Wrescue CD.
A better part of base+rescue tagged pkglist split off into
extra+rescue where the content belongs.
Thanks ruslandh@ for proposing to do a graphical rescue with some
particular tools (albeit qt4-fsarchiver clearly needs more work).
distro/live-builder target used to employ a few duplicated
packages that might make it to a list but as the list would
have only a single user so far these were moved to a target-
specific variable (hm, weird but "private" modifier broke).
distro/.base target used to pull in localboot syslinux config
snippet which might be too early for some of the further distros;
it's a quite fragile equilibrium which was shifted a bit by imz@
(see #26606). Feel free to reopen the discussion though, things
might be tweaked so that localboot might be desirable on almost
every image even if with lower priority...
It was actually trivial given that the script was already
maintained as a package by enp@ and msp@; its usage requires
one to manually partition the target disk and optionally
mkswap in advance.
We've got some parts of it in build-distro feature,
and some went to dev feature for no real reason.
But a bare installer might go without package base,
and LiveCDs other than live-builder might find local
repository useful given aufs2 root overlay.
Now the overall scheme is more straightforward:
- a distro:
+ asks that a package repo be included
+ cares to further add the packages to it
- a repo feature:
+ pulls in sub/main for it to happen
+ provides genbasedir script to create repo metadata
+ supplements live feature with repo configuration
This is a base for "media check" to become available:
using this feature will implant a checksum into the image
so that it can be verified during install.
Also added a test/demo distro/live-isomd5sum target.
For real distros an alterator module is probably due.
This feature was handling powersave already, so the name
should be changed already. Thanks sem@ for cpufreq-simple,
there's now a compelling reason for that rename.
Tweaked a few distro recipes accordingly.
Also added to the live-builder ISO which is now self-hosted
(sans full repo): one can build an image capable of rebuilding
itself (which is not that useful) and of building other goodies
on some temporarily unused RAM-filled hardware (which is the goal).
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)
This was asked for by Leo-sp50 and torabora, and seems quite reasonable:
let's provide means to keep at least some distribution configurations
a bit apart, so that these can be considered more standalone in terms
of hard warranted functionality but at the same time enjoying the common
infrastructure.
Considering lib/distro.mk: it's now experimentally pulled apart so that
parallel development of different distro families can go on without
major merge hassles. *Please* don't abuse with massive copy-paste.
And before you ask: this might get extended to allow for "private"
out-of-tree configurations being included since apparently there
are goals with no meaning outside of some very particular context...
but otherwise I'd like to encourage getting reusable bits in-tree.
