From now on, non-empty SAVE_PROFILE variable will indicate
the need to carry the particular generated profile inside
the image built from it.
Thanks gns@ for this feature in liveflash.eeepc.
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.
Here we go with postprocessing priorities along the way
as ISO hybridization has to occur before implanting
final MD5 sum (which must happen earlier than e.g. some
external MD5SUM file generation).
Unfortunately proper dependencies aren't applicable here
(though I'd like to be proved wrong on this one).
Please note that this needs propagator > 20101130-alt9
for automatic mode to work (has also been worked around
in gfxboot case with design-bootloader-source-6.0-alt1).
Thanks rom_as@ for asking about the hybrid image status
and helping out with testing.
The idea is to check:
- the reachability of every target
used to build the image in question;
- the availability of all the package lists
and subsequently packages for that image;
- the lack of "dangling" intermediate targets,
features, pkglists, hooks etc.
So far only the first step is implemented --
it's easy and somewhat helpful already for
make CHECK=1 all
CLEAN is so useful and fiddling with .work chroots does
demand knowledge (hsh-shell is handy btw); so unless we
really get our hands dirty, let's spare ours preciouss
tmpfss.
This one regulates the build wrapper: if the value is non-empty
then nice(1) and ionice(1) will be attempted so that the build
behaves better in regard to other tasks running on the system.
A few doc/variables.txt updates along the way.
Unfortunately apt configuration is not straightforward at all
regarding being overridden: one can't just provide sources.list
but needs a corresponding apt.conf along with it, and that apt.conf
must disable the SysV-style snippet directories to avoid interesting
side effects of all the things getting overlaid.
So it's not surprising that torabora has asked for an example...
(thanks go to boyarsh@ since I asked him for an example long ago)
Implemented opportunistic alarm support as proposed by torabora;
the actual result depends on readline and/or terminal settings
(read up on "visual bell" vs "audible bell" in case it's wrong).
TODO: this ought to be shifted downstream when proper logging
framework is there.
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)
