47d38cb1c1 assumptions.txt: mention REPORTS
It wasn't clear enough what the whole tracing affair is for;
thanks ykos@ for spelling it aloud.

c8a7e55cf8 QUICKSTART: it's p7/t7 or later now
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.

8faf140777 kernel, stage2: rearranged initrd hooks
stage2 has been thinking it's synonymous with propagator
and used to usurp kernel's belongings either; carefully
tear scripts apart so that kernel feature makes sure
initrd gets generated, and stage2 (which is still all
about propagator) cares for its bits.

5b21100bed README update
These have been proofread somewhat to correspond
to the current state of affairs; a missing one
was added for fonts feature.

6d8cbcb61d assumptions.txt: clarified sisyphus/branch status
Folks have been wondering already whether e.g. t6 breakage
qualifies as a bug; it does indeed unless the "broken" part
depends on the features not available with that branch yet,
e.g. EFI support.

2e1e4d6f09 assumptions.txt: ported to make-3.82 already
That is, p6/t6 continue to use 3.81 (while providing 3.82
alongside with it), and Sisyphus has moved to 3.82 before
p7/t7.  We support both versions by now.

4e0cd6bdf6 asciidoc: moved support files into doc/
Docs should live happily together, after all,
and toplevel should be more or less uncluttered :)

Adjusted/rewrote as appropriate as well.

788cad885e initial target tracing support and reporting
The purpose is being able to examine particular target interdependency
graph for a given image having been configured to avoid convoluted
dependencies (loops in particular).

The implementation is based on SHELL hook hint by John Graham-Cumming:

cff036c212 doc/assumptions.txt: specify minimal gmake version
From what I've read so far, most of the code should run on 3.80;
there seem to have been some bits that are dependent on 3.81
features, but there is not a bit that depends on 3.82+ features
so far.

e93d6cabca docs: minor updates
doc/variables.txt was missing the already-existing BUILDLOG
variable description, and ARCHES got added during multi-target
toplevel rewrite.  Other minor fixes come as appropriate.

d5a5941f96 official {distro,ve}/* support
This is quite a large-scale change since mkimage-profiles got used to
baking distributions over the last year, and virtual environments are
quite different, so e.g. image.in/Makefile had to be split in two with
the main part of it moved into features.in/iso/lib/.

Short overview:

- features.in/Makefile: lib/ support
  (supporting VE images requires dynamic modifications
  to image.in/Makefile before starting the build;
  the most natural way to achieve that seems to use
  features mechanism along with makefile include dir)

- packaging format related part moved into features.in/pack
  (should be better prepared for diversity either)
- features.in/iso renamed to features.in/build-distro
- features.in/ve  renamed to features.in/build-ve
  + NB: these could not be merged as e.g. features.in/build
    due to completely different script hooks

- lib/image.mk renamed to lib/build.mk
- image, config, log postprocessing moved downstream
- added a sort of a topping in the form of lib/sugar.mk
- assorted style fixups (like ifeq usage)

- clean.mk: reliability fix (the problem was observed by Oleg Ivanov
  and me too but finally it did get the attention quantum)

- reviewed, updated and extended docs
  + QUICKSTART: should be[come] a step-by-step guide
    (thanks Leo-sp50 for prodiving feedback)

3d10c59d2b test-based ramdisk size for live squashfs images
Implementation based on m-p-d::profiles/scripts.d/03-syslinux
(but heavily modified for m-p of course)

f5a8b89381 stage2 based live subprofiles, updated docs
- introduced generic stage2 subprofile (non-standalone)
- ported installer and rescue over to stage2/{install2,rescue}
- initial stage2/live (needs more work for sure)
- use make-initrd-propagator
- updated and somewhat extended doc/

NB: mind #26133, #26134
