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.
The issue at hand is that some sneaky stage3 alterator modules
seem to have tossed alterator-browser-qt (thus libqt4* and friends)
into base server installations; while this must be solved in within
package base and should be worked around by server feature probably
let's start out with leaf targets.
epiphany (or fontconfig?) insists on URW fonts for rendering
webpages like http://opennet.ru which hurts my eyes; looks like
/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-alt-post-user.conf would override these
with e.g. Liberation or Dejavu (with the latter being inferior
to the former, IMHO).
...so that regular builds really have common ground again,
which is something that got broken with regular-jeos introduction;
adjusted jeos and builder flavours to make use of this.
There's considerable confusion accumulated over the
expansion of regular builds with non-GUI targets:
- bare meant quite a lot including wireless;
- base meant GUI base actually,
so rescue, server, and especially jeos images had to
either cope with the bloat or start from scratch.
Let's fix "base" first...
Looks like QEMU 2.2.0 gets surprised with some kernel module
that udev tries to load during "Populating /dev:" boot stage;
dropping *both* +vmguest and +wireless dependencies does help
while switching to un-def kernel flavour doesn't (as is or with
any single one of these two deps removed).
Thanks user who reported the problem at opennet.ru
(alias "myhand").
altlinux-p7-kde4-20141212 images had a problem:
- the generic starterkit profile is tuned
for modest disk space consumption;
- KDE4 is quite extensive;
- kde4-regular subpackage tosses in most of KDE4 SC
...thus the livecd wouldn't autopartition enough
space for root filesystem when being installed.
volumes-profile-lite specifies 10Gb rootfs currently
which is just fine (-kdesktop one starts with 30Gb),
let's use it until vm-profile management is imported
into mkimage-profiles or things are redone completely.
There's no more livecd-gnome3-nosetup, it's been renamed
to setup-gnome3-done with no P:/O: to reduce repo spam.
Should have cherry-picked this into master back then :-/
I've been puzzled to find current live-webkiosk.iso trying to go
localboot with no timeout; this is basically a plug, VM images
might need more effort to go in.
There's GNOME 3.8 in p7/branch and it has no initial setup tool
thus no disabler is needed anyways; I've fixed this a while ago
but seem to have managed to lose the commit somehow :-/
So ALT Linux has got decent build tools but no one even knows
about those, right? And starting to use those is somewhat tedious
as it requires ALT installation with a specially crafted user account?
live-builder.iso has been useful enough to consider including its
relative into starterkits skipping regular builds for roughly the
same reasons as those for installers: we're better off helping users
to get onto the stable platform bandwagon than having them excited
with Sisyphus just to hit some wall down the road (even if we warn
of these walls well in advance most of the time), and while packages
tend to get into branches via sisyphus repo it's still better to stay
on the safe side with what we make easily available.
It's been ignored since the introduction of deflogin feature
and removal of build-vm specific ROOTPW variable handling;
might be adjusted to mandate this for vm/bare too, have to
think it over.
This has been asked for by lewellyn@freenode, why not.
NB: distro/.regular-sysv doesn't include use/net-eth/dhcp
(as it looks like asking for) since there's still hope
to get NM cooperating with sysvinit again.
Both locale and keyboard have been set up already,
no use to waste time on those (which results in 'us'
keyboard layout missing out totally, ironically).
Thanks aris@ for the tip.
This aims to work around URW fonts deficiencies combined
with the relatively high position of their standard ones
in default /etc/fonts/conf.avail/60-alt-post-user.conf;
see also #30293, #30294.
It's not EFI-bootable due to the extra size penalty
with current build/boot technology, but it's also
not ISO-hybrid as most images are made hybrid by
making them EFI-capable as well since the processes
are related.
Thanks dango at the forum for asking:

+net-eth covers both stage2 and base installation parts
while use/stage2/net-eth would result in an inobvious
catch when udev-rule-generator-net would hit install2
but not the installed system, and interface bindings
would be carried over from installer to the installation
but would *not* be updated in case of changed network
card(s) configuration.
It was spilled over an intermediate target and a mixin
for what looks like no good reason; let's factor these
in by means of +net-eth as *both* are really needed
for an installer anyways, and if/when we do installers
with those new and crippled ethernet interface names
this addition can be dropped to be used where required.
