There's a convention that syslinux configuration snippets
carrying the names of subprofiles involved are picked up
automatically; there were a few special cases already
when this is actually inconvenient, and there's another
one at hand so let's just step up and do it.
NB: this is a sort of a hacky hook though, wish an elegant
interface would come to mind some day.
This one was suggested by enp@ for industrial use where
some extra protection for the boot process might be quite
desirable.
If no syslinux ui was specified (the stock configuration paths
ensure there is one) or if it was set to "none" explicitly,
then there's no boot: prompt (let alone any menu).
If there's a need to ensure that the boot process is not
interruptable by Ctrl/Shift/Caps Lock/Scroll Lock.
- incompatible change (to fix the rather broken early style):
use/syslinux/ui-% is now use/syslinux/ui/%;
- default timeout changed to 9 seconds (long enough and keeps
the countdown in a single figure);
- added totaltimeout of 300 seconds;
- provided live kiosk images with almost-instant boot by default;
...and some other assorted tweaks here and there, sorry.
- toplevel README received some long-needed refactoring
+ lowlevel detail moved, well, to lowlevel READMEs
- reflected more thoroughly that m-p is not about distros anymore
- dropped features.in/00example/README.en: it's already out-of-date
a bit, and there's no perceived need in thorough English docs so far
- wiki article got split into parts and somewhat rewritten, links updated
- mv doc/{CodingStyle,style.txt}
Back then I didn't come up with anything smarter than
"mkimage-profiles 2.0" (with my tongue in a cheek),
but as m-p has grown up to 0.4 it's time to fix this.
When done properly, all of the string should be brandable
(with some sane default value inheriting from image name),
but let's do it at least bit by bit.
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)
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).
