The whole story with this installer has been due to a query
at #altlinux whether there's a distribution image similar
to altlinux-p7-rescue.iso which appears to be booting under
Hyper-V Gen. 2 without a hitch; changing just the kernel
towards the newer one made the user rather happy since
everything worked out-of-box for him, even unimportant bits.
Of course it's mostly due to boyarsh@'s preceding work :)
NB: there's no use to build i586 version as that hypervisor
lacks CSM (BIOS implementation) and would only boot UEFI
compatible operating systems with pretty strict requirements.
It has dawned on me that gdm2.20 is more widely useful
within sysvinit based builds: lightdm with gtk greeter
would fail to poweroff/reboot while this one would not.
It's not exactly obvious how install2_size, live_size or rescue_size
get defined since the variable names themselves get constructed;
help git grep these down.
acpid is not enough since power button handling configuration
has been split apart; and tracking this in zillion places is
utterly useless in face of a specially trained power feature.
Just use it.
aen@ asked to ship this one as well; no problem given mixins,
still being able to *switch* the init instead of regrafting
would be very beneficial.
NB:
- wdm can't do autologin;
- wdm can poweroff/halt;
- wdm+autologin won't work under systemd (via prefdm.service);
- nodm will work under systemd;
- nodm will ruin consolehelper -> livecd-install by root's PATH;
- gdm2.20 is lightweight, feature complete and sovereign enough.
The reason for an explicit cleanup is that VNC installation support
is now left in by default (see #29901); thus this commit is only
keeping the status quo for this image.
It's missing in Sisyphus since php5 update to 5.5.x;
while an opcode cache would be a powerful boost for
many webapps this has to be sorted out in repos first.
It's still a GUI installer but pretty much barebone one by now...
in particular, it needs no xorg-drv-$hardware being mostly targeted
at VMs and demo appliances where fbdev is rather enough.
Cleanup extra kernel drivers too.
This one has been missing for quite some time (infiniband modules
should have triggered a commit like this back then), finally there
in very crude and draft form for the starters.
By the time these hooks run the font packages' %post scriptlets
should have fired already; no need to carry the utilities on.
Yes these are bit-by-bit savings. No it's too expensive still.
My gut feeling is that we're not going to see glib2's
messages a lot within installer environment anyways.
And there's a forgotten /usr/share/X11/locale/ too.
An installer needs video playback acceleration
when it has some content to show and some means to;
as long as these are not supported just drop this
unconditionally.
These are only needed for alterator-vm when making
LUKS encrypted partitions; ideally the extra libraries
would be omitted automatically when luks isn't included.
The mixin concept and name has been borrowed from Ruby
language -- it's a kind of thing that can be added to
more or less whatever suitable; the problem it tries
to solve is that incrementally building up the image
configuration breaks when one would like to change
something that's been configured in early enough so that
grafting early will warrant a lot of duplication later on
but inheriting too much things that need to be changed
gets too much hackery in.
It started while trying to build an installer image
using configuration bits and pieces collected while
bringing an installable LiveCD together: there are
just too many livecdish things in a LiveCD to try
and rebase the actual desktop configuration things
onto an installer, so putting these into a mixin
to be reused within both livecd and installer
seems the way to go.
Looks like today's xorg won't autoload radeon_drv but
insists on ati_drv falling back to fbdev if it's not there;
FlightGear runs definitely slow on C-60 APU with that.
I didn't specify ati since it pulls r128 and mach64 modules in
which are rather useless in this context (accelerated 3D graphics).
Burn.app won't list a USB DVDRW drive with CD-RW inside
(NOT_FOUND), and its README states explicitly that wodim
is not supported yet.
Mixer.app would start with three knobs none of which would
actually change any mixer channel.
This time it autostarts using livecd-fgfs and primus
if possible; firefox and GUI mixer are the notable loss
but the clarity of "boot into FlightGear" should sort of
compensate for that.
Ah, and Tu-154 by default.
Current Sisyphus' xorg-drv-intel works somewhat better
with recent kernel drivers on my HD4000 GPU, and icewm
is not compositing at all; providing another test/backup
image fitted with newer kernel should do no harm.
This package has been built and recommended by cas@;
it requires Qt5 which hasn't been needed for anything else
included in regular builds so far so let's extend kde4 one
to begin with.
