137e738cf7 main, metadata, lists: switch to groups2lists()
Now that we don't ignore X-Alterator-PackageList
in pkggroup files these few places referencing
group names as list names have broke; bring 'em
in line through this new and shiny function.

e8f6335734 sub.in/stage2: Added copy-tree to stage2
stage2 only allows to run certain scripts and install packages, but
sometimes one need just to copy something to stage2 (like stage1 does).

How to use:

put files under ./files directory with the same structure as on
resulting image.

37e77285cd stage2: tweak 99-cleanup-boot for efficiency
Thanks glebfm@ for noticing that Simply (an m-p-d product)
takes no kernel inside squashfs but relies on livecd-install's
50-restore-kernel.sh hook to copy the kernel from iso9660
and regenerate initrd (which is a must anyways but requires
System.map to be still around).

This saves about 3 Mb in ISO size for a LiveCD using
kernel-image-std-def-4.1.15-alt1.x86_64.rpm.

457c00b823 stage2, lowmem: update cleanup hooks for qt5
There's /usr/share/qt5/translations/ now too, handle that.

OTOH we've got some CJK support already, time to split up
those "cleanups" into some target locale set dependent form.

5427f3afdc image.in, stage2: reworked TCB fixup hook
The issue at hand is that:

/etc/tcb/USER/shadow gets USER:auth ownership (OK);
/etc/tcb/USER/shadow- backup file is root:root (broken);
/etc/tcb/USER/shadow.lock file is also root:root (broken).

This is observed for all pseudousers created by package installation
process within working chroots as well as for users created by deflogin
feature; the problem is that e.g. echo USER:PASS | chpasswd will break.

Looks like the cuplrit might be fakeroot/faked.

a277a6cce3 stage2: no kernels no go
The flexible KFLAVOURS handling has a downside:
if no packages match the regexp it's silently OK
until too late, and the error is incomprehensible.
Let's fix the latter at least.

f9f1437bfe stage1: added ext4.ko to modules

559f80adf3 a few modules.d test drives
These are aimed to test the modules.d/ and auto-pickup
implementation as well as to present an example.

At least 50-net might change (or just get renamed to avoid
auto-pickup) some day as the "net" feature's meaning is
to provide networking upon bootup and these modules are
only needed within stage1 if we're going to netboot;
and that's quite different thing.

armh-cubox bits are prone to get renamed/generalized too
since e.g. ArmadaXP based server images are going to need
this as well.

e139a5e091 stage2: added broken-down module lists
These were produced off the single sub.in/stage1/modules
file using this scriptlet to prefix/annotate the names:

  grep '\.ko$' modules \
  | grep -v / \
  | while read m; do \
  	echo "$(find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/{drivers,fs} \
		-name "$m" -printf %P $m $(modinfo -d "${m%.ko}" 2>&1)"; \
    done

...with subsequent sorting and manual separation.

This is meant to be the second stage in monolithic modules
file split, so the lists themselves are largely unmolested
otherwise.  The plan is to further split those into prefix-
and module-specific ones.

Add a note clarifying 10-stage2's status, by the way.

1ee01498d5 stage1, stage2: moved propagator modules file
What was a static sub.in/stage1/modules (and the only one)
is now features.in/stage2/stage1/modules.d/10-stage2
(basically a compatibility file that might go some day).

It will be auto-picked as its name corresponds to the
NN-SUFFIX pattern specified in stage1 subprofile now
with $(FEATURES) going into default STAGE1_MODLISTS.

a36d0236a4 stage1, stage2: initial modlists support
stage1's got prepare-modules target collecting
modules file snippets all over stage1/modules.d/
subdirectories within individual features.

stage2 now adds names of all the features going into
a particular image as snippet file suffix list so that
individual features don't have to register themselves
twice (as a feature and as a propagator modules.d
snippet carrier).

This is going to allow both "uncommon" modules getting
included with no problem (sin@ has wanted cifs ones
for quite some time, for example, and some want e.g.
infiniband modules) *and* to reduce the actual list
below the common mark as well (which is the case with
live-privacy image, for one).

And stage1 memory consumption does matter in some cases
as it's highly critical with no chance to use swap yet.

08d802ab0d stage1: drop dummy.ko
Looks like it's been dumped in along with the rest but not
actually used in {make-initrd-,}propagator; the problem with it
is that snd-dummy.ko matches and pulls a bunch of unrelated
modules where these don't belong (grep -w wouldn't match
snd_dummy.ko though).

bc0f8a45ee stage1: re-add a few modules
These can be found in (semi-)supported branches still:

- loop.ko:
  + 3.0.101-std-def-alt0.M60P.1
  + 3.4.96-led-ws-alt0.M70P.1
- aufs.ko:
  + 2.6.32-el-smp-alt31
  + 3.4.96-led-ws-alt0.M70P.1

ehci_marvell.ko isn't found in contemporary sisyphus/armh
kernels but let's purge it later during archdep rewrite.

NB: libusual.ko has been renamed to usb-libusual.ko as of p6
    (not to be found in p7 anymore), and nls_base.ko was in
    2.6.32 kernels as of p6 but not there in p7; purge these
    somewhere down the road.

f112a3358e stage1: add USB3 support
This has been missing for *so* long somehow, and adding some 200k
of modules for fast hardware that's widely available by now
looks like a deal.

Added USB Attached SCSI module just in case (or rather for weak
crc_t10dif symbols?).

7cb477c38a stage2, install2: oops, narrow the cleanup back
The former install2-only "bloated binary" purge script
happened to hit stage2 (which is a lot more than just
install2); a kind of safety net has been stuck into it
to guard installable LiveCDs against this particular
cleanup but seems it was not enought for ildar@ who
reported this problem almost three years after it was
introduced.

This change re-places the script back into install2
section; the binaries in question amount for ca. 8 Mb
(except openssl ildar@ asked about); if these are deemed
unneccessary within any other stage2-based subprofiles,
please step up with details.

6f452182fd fix kpackages() API
This function's got its argument order chosen for "aesthetical"
reason of $(2) following $(1) in the macros but the logical order
is exactly the opposite: we care for kernel flavour much more than
for module set (which is dependent upon it).

So while silent dropout of kernel-image if KFLAVOURS is set
but KMODULES is empty could be fixed by testing for $(2) only,
it looks like a good time to fix this discrepancy altogether.

3171d693a3 main, metadata: README update
There's not much sense in overduplication of documentation
(tends to get stale faster then), still it's not good to
just refer to the code as the PDF/HTML book is less useful
then; maybe drifting towards "recommended" bits with more
"advanced" things being impleentation-defined is better.

49b6291a40 kernel, stage1: don't provide r8168.ko by default
It conflicts with r8169.ko inobviously.

The whole mess looks like this:
- r8169.ko doesn't work for all of Realtek 8111/8168/8169 mutations
- r8168.ko works with some of the chips r8169.ko doesn't
- r8168.ko also works with many chips r8169.ko works with
- r8169.ko is provided by kernel-image package (thus default)
- r8168.ko is provided by kernel-modules-r8168 package (optional)
- kernel-modules-r8168 package requires r8168-blacklist package
- r8168-blacklist package is a one-liner that blacklists r8169.ko
- STAGE1_KMODULES wouldn't include r8168 (std-def) or rtl8168 (led-ws)
- sub.in/stage1/modules would mention r8168.ko (m-p-d: r8169.ko)

So a LiveCD built with use/kernel/net might work with RTL8111/8110
just fine when booted live but fail to automatically load the module
when installed onto hard drive; manual modprobe r8169 would work though.
NB: some of the chips (those available to me) would work just fine
both ways -- this has contributed to fixing this *that* late.

Bottom line:

  do not install backup/kludge drivers overriding main ones by default!

Thanks sem@ for providing the crucial hint.

3f547e2504 documentation: use paths relative to toplevel dir
This change is done to reduce ambiguity in some cases;
the previous intention has been to ease navigation when
staying in a particular directory, now it's been changed
in favour of convenient toplevel `git grep' in fact.

Both variants have their pros and cons, I just find myself
leaning to this one by now hence the commit.  Feel free to
provide constructive criticism :)

Some path-related bitrot has also been fixed while at that.

67adab492f initial rootfs subprofile and services feature
This subprofile is akin to THE_* variables family: the configuration
bits and script hooks sitting there influence whatever chroot is
declared to be the user facing one in the end, whether it comes
from vm image or live subprofile.

The services feature ought to be a changeset of its own which would
be based on rootfs and become the base for ve/vm changes but I chose
to just do it atomically; some pre-existing duplicates are pruned now.

429ce58608 added live_rw support
There's a need for a separate boot target since
persistent storage is way slower than tmpfs indeed;
usbflash has a tendency for huge performance drops
given simultaneous writes in addition to reads which
are the bottleneck already.

make-initrd-propagator 0.18 introduced ext4 rw slice,
so the corresponding kernel module needs to be included
into stage1; see also #28289.

NB: not available on x86_64-efi (or hybrid GPT to be strict)
due to fragility of the hack being made: parted(8) panics
upon seeing that, and good ol' fdisk is unable to treat it.

NB: use/live/rw use/rescue/rx use/syslinux/ui/gfxboot
are unlikely to play very nice together due to the latter's
magic l10n: "session" label is taken by live_rw config snippet
and *is* translated in design-bootloader-source;
OTOH "rescue_session" is *not*.

35689d158d stage1: replace r8169 with r8168

6f5be91827 make-3.82 adaptation
The issue actually hit image.in/Makefile: "metadata" target
in features.in/metadata/lib/50-metadata.mk wasn't reached
even if features.in/build-distro/lib/90-build-distro.mk
would ACK that the "whatever" actions included "metadata";
thus Metadata/pkg-groups.tar wasn't created and the installer
silently failed to install the .base system.

Let's armour the rest of the cases where the order of inclusion
might be important as well.

b21353a00c complex subprofile delimiter changed ("/" -> "@")
That sub/stage2/install2 was somewhat clumsy actually as it looked
like a hierarchical thing while being a substitution thing:
generic stage2 would get put in place renamed as install2.

This could only get worse with hierarchical features which have
already been both requested and considered for quite a time,
and "stage2 at install2" reads much more naturally.

c4311108ea git usage refactoring
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.

An initial draft of it was done half a year ago but several tricky
thingies had kept the code from showing up as it was rather brittle

This implementation involves quite a few changes all over the place
but finally works good enough for live and installer images.

- installer-feature-setup-plymouth (0.3.2-alt1+)
- branding-altlinux-sisyphus (20110706-alt2+ if used)
