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
