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.
As zerg@ noted there's synaptic-kde already; I managed to overlook
that synaptic-usermode still gets into kde4 image as it's put into
base+regular pkglist. Thanks aen@ for spotting.
Quite a few filesystem specific tools and utilities went into extra,
some of them pulled back from fs since the proper categorization will
clearly require even more effort.
Added utilities for: f2fs, nilfs, logfs, reiser4fs, clicfs, cloop,
ocfs2, exofs, zfs, cifs.
Forum feedback has shown that it's a bit surprising
given the lack of other multimedia applications in
baseline package set; aen@ suggested to leave it out
and hardware support testing requires much more than
that anyways.
The metapackage was fine, the "only one" additional package
was more or less okay, but there came a dozen more so it's
now reasonable to stash these into a separate pkglist.
This change mostly concerns with making icewm flavour
the lean one again.
The goal is to widen the dynamic range of regular image features:
icewm is not a desktop thus can bear withouth systemd-logind
even if a bunch of network-managing-media-mounting crap has been
rigged to depend on it, and ALT domain client should be included
in most builds for convenient testing in SMB environments but can
stay out of this minimal and "different" image.
It also receives the "un-def" kernel flavour (3.8.0 as of today)
which might benefit from the more available testing facility too.
Its branding is also simplified, plain syslinux menu is fine;
in similar vein, refind feature is flipped from icewm-only to
all-but-icewm set of images with its state being good enough
as of refind 0.6.7 and mkimage 0.2.7.
mate-default pulls in mate-minimal and both of them
require packages which are also specified in this
pkglist; thus the pkglist should be pruned to avoid
double work and splits like "mate-vfs is dropped
from 1.5 package set, mate-default is adjusted but
the pkglist references the now-missing package".
The inobvious issue is that while lxde-settings
is required by lxde-common and provided by both
lxde-settings-{altlinux,upstream}, we can't just
add the needed one via PACKAGES since the LISTS'
deps are expanded already with -upstream taking
lexicographical precedence.
This might become more serious if/when there are
several useful packages, -upstream isn't AFAIK
(thanks gns@ for explanation).
Citing the initial comment: "lxterminal is reportedly
sub-par (gns@) but official (aen@)"; the functionality
PoV finally won.
Terminus fonts added to account for presets.
See also #28567.
It'd be better for this commit to appear before 0.9.7
(and clobber the original one) but at least the added
functionality has been tested; time to generalize it.
Once upon a time the first and only ethernet interface
on a Linux system used to be known under the name of eth0;
but years passed and the systemd shadow has drawn closer
even to the seemingly remote areas like interface names.
In short, it might get named e.g. enp0s3 (a more human
friendly name of course) and the exact name is to be
figured out in runtime as well.
Sigh.
Let's provide the official terminal emulator as the reference one,
and those preferring others are welcome to include these either.
(to some extent this commit is biased towards regular.mk though)
- added destination homeros-nano.iso yields minimal
speaking image;
- added "homeros" feature contain scripts appropriate
for general Homeros functions but need further development.
It's not e17-default alone right now, gnome-icon-theme package
appears requisite at the moment so that menus and IBar aren't
half-empty regarding graphics.
Thanks aris@ for the advice and lots of patience with me.
See http://www.altlinux.org/Регулярные_сборки_образов
for the idea behind this set of images; in short, it's
*not* a bunch of polished end-user distros in a moment
but rather to facilitate Sisyphus package base testing
in as-is state during branch pre-release time.
These are out there in Sisyphus and should be used
instead of copious lines in a package list.
Thanks sem@ for proposing gnome-icon-theme to supplement
the lack of icons in the default theme; note that tango
set doesn't quite cut it, even with extras.
Thunar -> thunar; xfcalendar -> orage
As was proposed by Alexey Varakin in community@,
whdd was built for ALT Linux by drool@ and pauli@
with some help by torabora@ and mithraen@; looks like
it's a worthy addition to the rescue kit.
While ildar@ has some reason for the slimmer image
the somewhat standalone one is documented in examples
for offline use, ruining it in-place is not an option.
Let's just do a split (and lose a target-specific variable
example in favour of a commodity pkglist by the way; oh well).
EFI/UEFI is mostly about partitioning and bootloader setup,
at least from a distribution's point of view; so the
appropriate tools should be handy and firmware interface
module should not be exterminated from installer images
but get autoloaded instead.
Please note that while there exists 32-bit x86 EFI
we don't bother with it at the time being: it's relevant
to some irrelevant Xeon systems as well as for the older
Intel Macs (<2008) that are long out of fashion anyways.
That is, initially we deal with x86_64 EFI only.
Actually just a split of livecd-webkiosk into the kiosk related
part and generic livecd firefox setup (turning off queries that
are pretty useless in that environment).
There's a bunch of additions to the MATE package list:
thanks viy@ for pulling extras into autoimports,
several more tweaks done due to hints by dek@,
and openssh packages added for debugging convenience.
The kernel's been changed for the latest one (un-def).
There were heaps of "if type -t git" there already;
it wasn't an unintentional mishap but rather a moderate
copy-paste to get the use cases, and now these seem to
have essentially settled.
So time to scrap some dups.
NB: the scripts in the generated profile can't rely on
the contents of the metaprofile (these need to be able
to work in standalone case either), so a bit of crap
still lurks there.
There's no need to repeat the typical openssh-* triade
all over the place; those who need server and client
are better off pulling in "openssh" pkglist, and those
needing a particular package should specify it.
autologin won't register a consolekit session, and gnomes
are too greedy regarding sessions to let us go unmolested...
This particular image isn't production ready when built on
current Sisyphus yet due to unresolved NM/dbus problems
but I decided to at least archive the reached state.
This further refines the modular build by making
metadata being a clearly separated feature rather
than having to rely on runtime tests, and also by
moving the code which cares for kernel bits of base
installation (.base list) in a feature of its own.
There's more to it but let's get the ball rolling first.
NB: for the feature to work properly the chosen branding
package set should have proper Provides: and Conflicts:,
specifically it must explicitly conflict with the most
lexicographically cool package set around (these days
it's sisyphus-server-light).
use/slinux-live: in p6 slinux had install-dvd version too
lists/slinux/misc-dvd: user 3d-proprietary comes from use/x11/3d-proprietary
lists/slinux/misc-dvd:restore compiz
slinux: use/syslinux/localboot.cfg
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.
THE_PACKAGES_REGEXP is in place, let's rebase firmware packages
so these would be available in LiveCDs either.
The news for systems being installed is that MAIN_* is optional
while THE_* is included in base system; firmware packages tend
to be pretty tiny and harmless.
kernel-wifi pkglist has absolutely no sense by now, hence purged;
firmware-rt* and firmware-i2400m are merged into firmware-linux.
glebfm@ asked what to do with new package lists: whether these
belong to features, or to distributions themselves. This question
is actually open and up for discussion but there are guidelines
that can and should be written down already; and so they were.
Added pkgdups utility reference as well.
Now is the time for all fonts to be pulled in when needed and not
along with the X server and hardware drivers; tablet support is
moved to a (preexisting) specific target either.
There's no need now to arch-discriminate a few older drivers too.
openssh-server is in need indeed on almost any server instance;
thanks Aleksey Cheusov for reporting the shortage.
This might be amended in the future but is reasonable right now.
The package list taken from mkimage-profiles-desktop
and trimmed down due to current TDE packaging difference
as well as extras being defined elsewhere.
ltsp-icewm used to be the only ALTSP (testbed) distro over here
but now its terminal server part works good enough to seperate
it from the UI part.
A few additions to facilitate testing, tweaking and benchmarking:
iftop, openssh-server, mplayer
