The "best" "feature" of systemd "init system" has just
emerged once again: it will happily sit there idling
given startup or shutdown loops resulting in what looks
like a hang to an unsuspecting user; let's provide the
suspecting one with at least some tools described at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging
The issue with this was that plain use/browser/firefox/esr
didn't actually pull in the feature as such; it MUST NOT
pull in use/browser/firefox since it will change semantics
from "if it's Firefox make it ESR" to outright "use FX ESR"
(starterkits depend on the former and it was intentional).
FX_FLAVOUR variable can be set anywhere to switch
use/browser/firefox to prefer ESR packages, including
the appropriate localization ones.
Note that there's no dependency as it can be set in e.g.
starterkits (still unset in regular builds) wholesale
but shouldn't affect those of them lacking firefox.
The reason behind this silly patch is that the default URL
can be left alone with no rebuilds neccessary but with the
intranet services delivered through a "captive portal" or
a redirecting proxy; we definitely don't want the canonical
wiki URL, http://www.altlinux.org, blocked by a rule made
for redirecting the default homepage, so let it be another
one which is served but not widely known or linked to.
This makes use of IM_PACKAGES variable processed by
newly added im feature so that DE-specific targets
could tell which DE-specific IM packages they'd like
on a system *iff* use/im has been requested.
Might be lacking right now, to be sorted out with
the actual users.
This one has been brewin' for quite a while but has been
completed finally; some tweaks sure can come in later but
it's working.
Please note that it's rather needed for "proper" distros
with specific branding and docs packages prepared for those;
one should use l10n feature most likely too.
The "full" target should care for rescue bits as well
(remember that THE_* won't go there); thus regular-rescue.iso
will receive these couple hundred useful kilobytes as well.
It's the very same problem that must be solved within mkimage:
some package lists get expanded early and some late thus having
no chance to influence apt's choices of alternatives made early
(in fact, too early).
Until that, here's another kludge...
PS: turns out that ^systemd- is not "drop ^systemd" but rather:
systemd-analyze
systemd-coredump
systemd-journal-gateway
systemd-networkd
systemd-sysvinit
-- thus one /really/ wants something else.
This one was an experimental but the server is long
offline and isn't going back up; remove the obsolete
config snippet, if/when it's done again it's the easiest
part to be restored (the implementation should provide
HTTP/FTP/NFS-publishable deliverables without the need
to extract those from ISO images).
This one relies on the controversial polkit-sysvinit package
that subverts policykit using well known groups to make it
"work" for things like NM and shutdown helpers.
See also http://altlinux.org/sysvinit and feel free to improve.
/etc/sudoers is persistent with regard to userdel(8)
so removing a LiveCD user isn't going to drop this kind
of the added privilege and might result in an unintended
grant of those by adding a user with the same name after
permanent LiveCD installation.
This has been spotted by Speccyfighter:
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/31071
This one is alike to install2's one; it's not a shared rootfs
script/variable though as contexts differ a lot, let's be careful.
The commit has been missing from 1.1.64 somehow, found in patch
series while figuring out why LIVE_CLEANUP_KDRIVERS seems to be
just ignored in live-privacy *after* the massive rebase of that
branch...
There's a convention that syslinux configuration snippets
carrying the names of subprofiles involved are picked up
automatically; there were a few special cases already
when this is actually inconvenient, and there's another
one at hand so let's just step up and do it.
NB: this is a sort of a hacky hook though, wish an elegant
interface would come to mind some day.
The added initscript used to be purged by 98-init-rescue
which has been somewhat overlooked during vain attempts
to build an image that would actually run it!
This one provides cmdline arguments for startup-rescue >= 0.24
which would bring up networking and sshd in its turn thus allowing
remote access to the host booted in this mode.
The feature has been asked for by many people including mithraen@
and valintinr@ (and I'd make use of it another day too).
See the appropriate startup-rescue commit description for notes
on implementation; this default set of variable values should be
both useful and illustrative though.
A recent commit has dropped wireless support from
regular server images; staging modules might still
come handy in some situations, let's keep those in
but not as a part of default installation.
This one is likely to get just a single user right now
but the future potential is clearly higher.
Please do review libzmalloc implementation if concerned.
This is sort of laying the ground for the future dismantling
of 10-stage2 (which was sub.in/stage1/modules just recently);
things look like tagged lists might become due some day, e.g.
"net+usb" or "scsi+raid" -- time will tell.
These are aimed to test the modules.d/ and auto-pickup
implementation as well as to present an example.
At least 50-net might change (or just get renamed to avoid
auto-pickup) some day as the "net" feature's meaning is
to provide networking upon bootup and these modules are
only needed within stage1 if we're going to netboot;
and that's quite different thing.
armh-cubox bits are prone to get renamed/generalized too
since e.g. ArmadaXP based server images are going to need
this as well.
These were produced off the single sub.in/stage1/modules
file using this scriptlet to prefix/annotate the names:
grep '\.ko$' modules \
| grep -v / \
| while read m; do \
echo "$(find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/{drivers,fs} \
-name "$m" -printf %P $m $(modinfo -d "${m%.ko}" 2>&1)"; \
done
...with subsequent sorting and manual separation.
This is meant to be the second stage in monolithic modules
file split, so the lists themselves are largely unmolested
otherwise. The plan is to further split those into prefix-
and module-specific ones.
Add a note clarifying 10-stage2's status, by the way.
What was a static sub.in/stage1/modules (and the only one)
is now features.in/stage2/stage1/modules.d/10-stage2
(basically a compatibility file that might go some day).
It will be auto-picked as its name corresponds to the
NN-SUFFIX pattern specified in stage1 subprofile now
with $(FEATURES) going into default STAGE1_MODLISTS.
stage1's got prepare-modules target collecting
modules file snippets all over stage1/modules.d/
subdirectories within individual features.
stage2 now adds names of all the features going into
a particular image as snippet file suffix list so that
individual features don't have to register themselves
twice (as a feature and as a propagator modules.d
snippet carrier).
This is going to allow both "uncommon" modules getting
included with no problem (sin@ has wanted cifs ones
for quite some time, for example, and some want e.g.
infiniband modules) *and* to reduce the actual list
below the common mark as well (which is the case with
live-privacy image, for one).
And stage1 memory consumption does matter in some cases
as it's highly critical with no chance to use swap yet.
...and split off use/live/.base *without* use/deflogin/live.
There's need for live images without predefined logins
(like e.g. live-privacy image).
NB: this commit might break things for someone, please notify.
The unfortunate thing is that we have to take care
for sessions, somehow; still there are only two for now
(LXQt and KDE5 Plasma Desktop) so this doesn't look like
a disaster just yet.
Commit 657c0bf has silently added use/bootloader
to the base use/install2 target thus breaking
experimental distro/netinst; it seems better to
require *a* bootloader in the target that's been
specifically designed to cover the common case
(thus linked to by +installer shortcut) but still
to have our base lightweight and flexible.
This doesn't hurt the actual distros as these use
+installer of course.
The former approach to handling "LiveCD with sessions"
has been to mangle "automatic=method:cdrom" into
"automatic=method:disk,label:ALT*" within gfxboot
so that propagator and make-initrd-propagator would
try and discover/create a filesystem labelled
"alt-live-storage" on a LiveFlash's free space.
Then "live_rw" handling has been unified in
make-initrd-propagator (as of 0.18-alt1) to accept
any of "label" subparameter or "live_rw" argument
to go and create_disk_slice().
Then propagator's cdrom.c has been fixed to actually
try sdX1 before sdX (as of 20150306-alt1).
And now it's all been tested to verify that:
- flash "ro" and "rw" boot is OK
- CD-ROM "ro" boot is OK
- CD-ROM "rw" boot is fine given that there's
a partition labeled "alt-live-storage" elsewhere
This is a can of worms indeed :-/

It's entirely unclear to an unsuspecting curious user
where the actual results of a proposed example hasher
build end up; that's ~/hasher/repo, just state that.
The former install2-only "bloated binary" purge script
happened to hit stage2 (which is a lot more than just
install2); a kind of safety net has been stuck into it
to guard installable LiveCDs against this particular
cleanup but seems it was not enought for ildar@ who
reported this problem almost three years after it was
introduced.
This change re-places the script back into install2
section; the binaries in question amount for ca. 8 Mb
(except openssl ildar@ asked about); if these are deemed
unneccessary within any other stage2-based subprofiles,
please step up with details.
use/vmguest/vbox/base used to pull in DRM modules
which are required for vboxvideo but useless without
xorg bits; and all of these aren't needed in jeos.
Things might break, doublecheck please.
When installer-feature-systemd-stage3 hits BASE_PACKAGES
it pulls install2-init-functions in which is wrong
(one of the consequences is that alterator-browser-qt
lands into even a very basic server installation).
And install2 doesn't even need that package as init feature
carries a script hook that does the same...
This project has evolved/merged into LXQt which has been
packaged for both p7/t7 and sisyphus by now, no need to
carry on deprecated bits.
NB: 0.6.x still have it as t6/p6 still bear razorqt.
