Split development packages into dev+gnustep pkglist -- these are
worth including in "full" version but will need thorough testing
so as to present the tools to those who value these.
Some of user packages are problematic and shouldn't be included
right now; the problems are mostly of these kinds:
- app won't start (at all or effectively);
- useless for being too alpha quality/incomplete;
- menu file for a commandline app lacking any feedback;
- package lacks the dependencies needed;
- it's a LoginPanel ;-)
Thanks a lot to upstream authors, real@ the packager
and kostyalamer who prepared a lot of menufiles anyways!
This is not strictly required but is basically requisite for some
operations with both packages (did you know about rpm2cpio.sh?)
and initramfs images (which are gzipped cpio archives).
So let's put it in.
Let's put osec tools into installable packages at least
(aiming to shift these into default install probably);
these are worthwile addition to sysadmin's toolbox.
Thanks dobr@ for bringing this up.
It turns out that regular-rescue.iso lacks sshfs,
which is unfortunate (even if it could be installed
with apt in this particular case); three more FUSE
based filesystems have been added just in case.
Thanks mithraen@ for suggesting davfs2.
Argh, so alterator-auth was hiding under a name it provides too
-- now *that* is the cause for those last-step failures as the
rest of the environment hasn't been getting set up apparently.
Just drop it, there's a proper domain-client pkglist for that.
This is what 63293ff22a should
have done too.
I wondered how regular-e18 lacked econnman but it only
took a closer look to understand that it's just not told
to go in, plain and simple!
There are no e18-extra-modules (at least so far),
confine that to desktop+e17.
This basically reverts commit c18ef37274
for all practical purposes and restores the problem with chromium livecd
still that's less of a problem compared to regular builds complaining
that firefox is not the default browser when it's the only one anyways.
live-webkiosk doesn't really need it and mixin/desktop-installer
was picking it up due to d+n+l satisfying d+n query. This could
be fixed with && !live but fixing bitrot is the better way to go.
It's amazing but I've managed to miss out this brilliant
Qt-based Jabber client; a small selection of plugins is
added as well, suggestions are welcome.
- speech-ru and speech-en features are added;
- speech-related things removed from homeros features;
- speech/ directory for package lists added and other corresponding changes.
This doesn't add much but complements the compression utilities.
Maybe it should be moved to rescue+archive, especially if more
tools of this kind get written and packaged.
This package list is somewhat non-trivial and controversial:
- bacula client support is a pretty tiny addition; it does require
extensive knowledge of what's being done and too new client version
can actually hurt (as the bacula director version must not be lower);
- duplicity was added due to lav@ seemingly using it (it's tiny either).
Suggestions are welcome.
It was the proposal to add fsarchiver that has started this;
the package was there in X11-bearing live-rescue.iso but appears
to be a console program thus moved to rescue+misc pkglist;
more than a few rescue-grade utilities have turned up during
a quick look at what else is missing.
shellinabox and dvdsaster have been "added" as candidates since
the former does require additional actions but can provide a nice
security hole if these are taken without extra consideration,
and the latter is just pretty large although might still be useful.
This neat little utility helps immendely to deal with
the eternal "where all of my mega/giga/tera/petabyte disk
space went so busy?"... wonder how it could evade m-p ;-)
Some of the excluded dockapps would crash on startup
or just require manual configuration thus getting those
into the default menu on a live image would rather harm.
It's a great tool giving the ability to at least debug
the novel problems that weren't there before systemd.
Good that it doesn't want half of GNOME or python yet...
gvfs pulls gnome-online-accounts and dconf in;
these add considerable bloat that well may be
undesirable in a lightweight distro, just pull
this into a separate pkglist.
george@ spotted gqview in regular-lxde.iso and wondered why;
it's not being developed since 2006 or so while there's a fork
named geeqie which has continued to improve upon it.
Few things:
- extend feature specification
+ SysVinit can be chosen explicitly via init feature,
no need to keep sysklogd in yet another pkglist;
+ power management should be included too
(both cpufreq setup and power button handling);
+ LILO seems to be heavily preferred among the
target audience :)
- use desktop installer for regular-server
+ the seeming controversy is explained easily:
installer-distro-altlinux-generic has very few
modules to the point of being inconvenient for
anything but quick rounds of basic testing,
and distributions rather do need network setup
along with a non-privileged user.
The funny thing while debugging this was "how the heck
could a sound related change induce privilege related shift?"
-- turns out that udev-alsa (which pulls in ConsoleKit)
was the culprit... looks like LXDE hasn't dumped it yet :)
This bunch of commits was done so these can be
mixed and matched (or even reverted) later if needed;
it was tempting to just revamp things wholesale again
but coarse grained approach is worse to maintain.
The client side might benefit a bit more in the future
but the server side does not (and should not) require
everything client side does; thus use base ALSA target.
This replaces the many sets of the corresponding packages
wandering all over pkglists, features and configurations;
the interface should be rather well-defined by now.
Based on m-p-d's domain-client pkglist and scripts from
installer-feature-network-shares-client-stage3 package.
Many thanks to boyarsh@ for his kind help to get this working.
NB: this works on cubox but is not yet ready for installers!
...as per aen@'s advice: parole can use gst0.10 specific
hardware acceleration on Cubox but Firefox doesn't, so it's
way more reasonable to download video and watch it and not some
kind of slideshow.
Those based on x86 ones but pruned according to armh repo
presence; most notably, these are missing:
compiz compiz-gtk
java-1.6.0-sun mozilla-plugin-java-1.6.0-sun
libreoffice
remmina
xfcalendar
yagf
gdm-theme-simply is still around but turns out that it counts
on gdm2.20 (providing gdm) to be installed, and it is not;
thus gdm-3 is actually pulled in and it doesn't work here.
The package should be dropped from Sisyphus probably,
let's drop it here anyways.
The issue at hand is the hack to be employed in the init feature:
@$(call add,THE_LISTS,$$(INIT_TYPE))
where INIT_TYPE is set separately; $(value $V) would leave that kind
of substitution unmolested while we would actually need it done.
This has had several goals:
- a target suitable for x86 and armh providing a rather
minimal set of base xorg packages and generic drivers;
- task-oriented targets for graphics use cases:
+ "desktop" means rather 2D focus with 3D being welcome
or even essential but not performance critical, thus
"a slower driver is fine as long as it does work";
+ "3d" means specific 3D performance being critical,
that is "no 3D means no use at all".
Regarding the free and proprietary 3D-capable drivers:
the previous idea was to split out some common ground
and then add the contenders on top of that; the current
approach is based on the observation that the live images
requiring proprietary NVIDIA/AMD drivers *by default*
are usually of not much use with hardware that lacks
proper 3D acceleration (like Tseng cards) or the driver
support for that (like Matrox these days).
Intel videodriver makes for a special case though:
it is both free and top-notch performer.
Thanks sem@ and boyarsh@ for discussion.
PS: xorg-drv-{keyboard,mouse,void} dropped;
those who need these can usually help themselves.
These handle only VE-like products (think TWRP on Nexus 7);
the proper image support should be backported later on.
An experiment in layered configurations is still in its
early stages regarding ARM zoo...
...and switch to cinnamon-regular metapackage in general:
the remaining blocker being gdm required by that and not
actually going to work (it used to start gnome-shell which
wouldn't work in that configuration either) is now fixed,
thanks cow@.
PS: plymouth is moved upstream, drop the dup.
There were several packages which don't really belong to base
list but rather to the desktop one; given that both of these
are included in desktop images it's a no-op for them but the
server ones might be better off without graphics.
Whoops: XFS, JFS, NTFS, FAT support has been lost while dancing
with reusing rescue lists and back to being lean.
Thanks Vladimir Gusev for spotting [a part of] this.
Moved the packages which impeded pkglist reuse for live distros
so that these stay within dedicated rescue images but don't
neccessarily go into the more generic ones where things like
fdisk are still quite useful.
The expected behaviour is to have online repositories enabled
when the livecd is running; the trouble with runtime detection
relates to the asynchronous nature of network configuration,
connection might get probed just before it is brought up
(thus failing the test).
Systems having been installed-from-live don't misbehave this way
so left unmolested.
Runtime detection is still available via use/live/repo/online
but is definitely not the default mechanism.
Thanks to Baurzhan Muftakhidinov's efforts along with help
from cas@ and zerg@, regular images should now support Kazakh
fairly well at least in terms of translation; this commit amends
these images with Ukrainian too and adds an experimental razorqt
based distribution that boots in kk_KZ by default.
Suggested by YYY; the initial plan was to include CUPS
in all the regular images but that turned out to be
impractical (too much bits added with too few actual
usage per bit expected).
So let's take s-c-p along with cups.
It's required by make-initrd-propagator in "rw slice" mode
when the remainder of an USB Flash drive is prepared and used
for persistent storage; fdisk is also immensely useful in general.
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
Courtesy of prividen@, there's actual x86_64 client support in ALTSP.
Although led@ tells that it's i586 optimization that hurts on i686+
and should be replaced with either i486 or i686 for that matter...
*_PACKAGES and *_LISTS shouldn't inflict copypasted blocks;
we can iterate over these just fine.
NB: dump-*, not dump_*, due to namespace pollution hurting
debug target if done the latter way (in case someone misses
the morning tea as wel).
As current devmapper doesn't allow for simultaneous
mounts of virtually the same device by different names
(signalled by "Device or resource busy" when trying to
e.g. mount /dev/sda2 but with /dev/evms/sda2 being just
fine), EVMS triggering such behaviour but rarely needed
should be avoided altogether until a hook to disable it
is in place.
As too many things started duplicating between distros proper
and (e.g. corresponding) LiveCDs, it became apparent that a class
of entities which end up working for THE_USER (not a sysadmin,
and not a developer, just a Linux user) is in need.
So THE_KMODULES will power installed basesystem and live image,
while THE_PACKAGES, THE_LISTS and THE_GROUPS will participate
in building those.
Some more filesystem related utilities inspired by PLD rescue
are due indeed; but ntfsprogs are obsoleted by ntfs-3g, in fact.
iotop and iperf were suggested by stalker@.
Actually there's an added duplication in the form of the
test that was previously missing in pkg.in/lists/Makefile
-- that has to be done properly when it's clear how.
This fully omits pkg/lists/.base generation in environments
that won't make use of it.
The bin/pkgdups.sh script comes from m-p-d in considerably optimized
form and is to be used with the pkglist files of interest passed
as its arguments to produce a "hall of duplicates" among those.
The tagged lists received some updates along the rescue image lines,
most of those are actually inspired by http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/
and to lesser extent a few articles on rescue/recovery/forensics
software -- so some newcomers are even employed already.
New stuff:
* distro/live-icewm -- basic icewm livecd with autologin;
* distro/live-rescue -- yet another gparted^Wrescue CD.
A better part of base+rescue tagged pkglist split off into
extra+rescue where the content belongs.
Thanks ruslandh@ for proposing to do a graphical rescue with some
particular tools (albeit qt4-fsarchiver clearly needs more work).
If you make distro/live-builder.iso, the result is an image
containing almost everything (short of actual full enough
repository) to rebuild itself. It will attempt to configure
eth0 with DHCP and reach http://ftp.altlinux.org for packages.
RAM requirements start with 2Gb, self-build is accomplished
on a 4Gb host with "make CLEAN=1 distro/live-builder.iso".
Packages required for "make distro/syslinux.iso" get included.
(some due fixups all over the place too)
Typical (to-be-refactored when having settled down)
"cd/git .../cd -" sequences are tweaked to safeguard
against changing back without having actually changed to,
just in case.
features.in/Makefile left with pushd/popd due to its
three-level diving course (which somewhat asks to be
refactores in functions either but is intrinsically
somewhat complex OTOH).
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)
install2 cleanups:
- functionally indifferent ones: particularly, install2/*/98system's
"mkdir -p /image" was superfluous as it was done by that time already
by sub.in/stage2/image-scripts.d/00stage1
- taken apart, prepared for tags: so far it's a mostly moot change
since the installer cleanup scripts themselves are mostly the same as
preceding 90cleanup was (with some additions corresponding to recent
kernel development); it's still unclear what the mechanism for
configuring the cleanups in effect will be, either directory/package
regex lists or tagged scripts excluded from execution by yet another tag
fixes:
- image.in/Makefile: fix metadata related test; the actual test was
assuming that stage1 kernel means installer, which is not the case
since generic stage2 introduction; oh well
- 85cleanup-lowmem: a "_" too much was the culprit in destroying the
needed translations along with those deemed superfluous; thanks go to
Oleg Ivanov and Lenar Shakirov for finding the bug and proposing the
fix altogether
additions:
- features.in/Makefile: reworked help target; it was rather inaccessible
due to BUILDDIR normally undefined at the time of direct make
invocation, and BUILDDIR is normally defined during normal builds
anyways so let's try it this way.
- README++
daydreams:
- 01-genbasedir: we should drop bzip2 compressed pkglists some day
but see genbasedir and apt-cdrom first, 90-pkg.sh (alterator-pkg)
will fail miserably otherwise
It was clear that "common" isn't very apt for packages that
will get *everywhere*, and became apparent when the need for
a "base+live packages" variable arrived with powerbutton feature.
So:
- the former COMMON_PACKAGES are now SYSTEM_PACKAGES;
- COMMON_PACKAGES act as "BASE+LIVE_PACKAGES".
Note that SYSTEM_PACKAGES also got factored out from stage2 based
features into stage2 subprofile itself; cleanups were due as well.
Rather minor fixups for things changed in the meanwhile and not
yet (re)documented properly; and a change for memtest feature
to require syslinux feature (the code's been changed to fit
the updated description, actually, and the change is purely
formal as no syslinux alternative is being used/planned so far).
MAIN_GROUPS should align better along with MAIN_PACKAGES
and MAIN_LISTS (even if MAIN_ prefix might be suboptimal
given that these packages are essentially extras within
the particular image).
minicd target was a hasty hack indeed, let's put it in line;
an attempt at practical use discovered the lack of important
packages like dhcpcd, these were added on per package basis
and quickly remade to use tags -- which seem to fit better.
It's still very immature -- base lists should be really base,
and functionality should be sorted out in more consistent way.
So far moved to tagged lists (which need some more experimentation
anyways to get both lists and their use more elegant).
- fixed live.iso (now actually useful):
+ extra cleanup was being done (coming from install2 case)
+ root user was password blocked
+ there was no unprivileged user (added "altlinux" w/o password)
+ added xdm setup hook for future X-based livecd flavours
+ several picks for a less slim "base" list
+ xdm login
- tweaked rescue.iso (added ext3grep)
- better *_LISTS printout
- somewhat cleaner .base comments
- more comprehensible git log messages
+ special handling for complex subprofiles
+ no need to commit build.log ;-)
- introduced generic stage2 subprofile (non-standalone)
- ported installer and rescue over to stage2/{install2,rescue}
- initial stage2/live (needs more work for sure)
- use make-initrd-propagator
- updated and somewhat extended doc/
NB: mind #26133, #26134
This one is pre-alpha quality and very basic but complete enough
to crank out an icewm.iso successfully installing and booting
into xdm ;-)
(actually a week's on-and-off work including a pile of
underlying infrastructure stuff which was planned already
just not there yet)
In particular:
- .base is now generated from pieces (see image.in/Makefile)
- s/DISTROS/IMAGES/g; s/CONFIGS/DISTROS/g (for clarity)
- s/DISK_LISTS/MAIN_LISTS/g ("disk" was early m-p-d legacy)
- introduced BASE_PACKAGES to complement BASE_LISTS
- minor tweaks to Makefile (ARCH and DATE moved elsewhere)
- libdistro.mk: dropped overlooked IMAGE_INIT_LIST copy
- clean.mk: silly cleanup
- image.in/functions.mk: rework kpackage()
+ it takes two arguments explicitly now: this adds some noise
for "generic" invocations but is rather less messy with recently
introduced STAGE1_KFLAVOUR (which in its turn is rather cleaner
than messing with KFLAVOURS, especially since soemthing changed
in presumably apt and we can't rely on kernel packages being
installed in the order formed).
- BUILDDIR/DEBUG related fixes
+ Makefile: BUILDDIR initialization moved to distro.mk
- build.log += git info
Renamed server-light.iso into server-ovz.iso to avoid brand dilution
and confusion (rider@'s server-light rather favours kvm, anyways).
Introduced KDEFAULT: a reliable default kernel chooser knob
since apt's regex ordering proved pretty unreliable.
Spelling things explicitly is better anyways.
SYSLINUX related features undergone pretty major rewrite
(that includes syslinux, hdt and memtest).
The problem to tackle was features.in/syslinux/generate.mk
assuming syslinux and pciids available in build *host* system;
this well might not be the case (or worse yet, those can be
just different). So now we're a bit less elegant and a bit
more enterprise, stuffing things into chroot and working there.
Bunch of other fixes along the road, including ; to name a few:
- fixed memtest entry (overlooked while renaming SYSLINUX_ITEMS)
- new and shiny doc/CodingStyle
- gfxboot, stage1 target chain, hdt tweaks
- distro.mk rehashed
- README++
- TODO: dropped (integer overflow anyways)
+ actually moved off-tree to reduce commit spam
- s,\.config\.mk,distcfg.mk,g
- doc/profiles.mk.sample: sample ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk
- ...and assorted fixups/additions
Sorry for convoluted commit, this would have been pretty hard to
rework into some really readable shape (and you might be interested
in the original repo's history horrors then, anyways).
Now we don't dump all the gory details onto thee
but rather log them handsomely and present only
the most important details by default; use DEBUG=1
and/or BUILDLOG=/path/to/file to tweak.
Also introduced IMAGEDIR and IMAGENAME.
The rest:
- ovz-smp is no more
- base-l10n pkglist (suggested by Alexander Kuprin)
- clean.mk:
+ fixed an oversight: the test result erroneously applied
only to the first command of several ones that should be
run iff build/ is a symlink
+ drop implicit rules (it's no C code)
- Makefile: more reasonable iso names
- image.in/Makefile: .disk/date too
- drop hardwired kernel flavour from pkglists
- today's std-ng lacks aufs, let's switch to un-def
- second assault at KERNEL_PACKAGES_REGEXP
- re-introduced kpackages (builds ok)
PS: base lists: switch to grub, add udev, cleanup
tags2lists was tweaked to work on the more natural word boundaries
than explicit "_", and the lists were renamed accordingly.
Dropped the borrowed pkglists by the way.
A major change in approach largely thanks to discussions
with Alexey Cheusov but also well aligned with my own findings:
autoconf doesn't let the variables to form an inheritance.
And data flow described at http://www.altlinux.org/WhiteLabel
(which in its turn was born thanks to Gavin Henrick of Diva Telecom
and to Alexander Bokovoy of SaM-Solutions) is really dependent on
the existence of such an inheritance.
Also:
- distro.mk += try()
- "hide" special targets
- fixed wrt distro/.{base,init,metaconf}, thx gns@
- README updates
+ added metaconf.mk
+ clarifications
- updated pci.ids location for hdt
