Both starterkits and live webkiosk images carrying Firefox
are switched to ESR packages by this commit; note that those
images with other browsers aren't affected.
FX_FLAVOUR variable can be set anywhere to switch
use/browser/firefox to prefer ESR packages, including
the appropriate localization ones.
Note that there's no dependency as it can be set in e.g.
starterkits (still unset in regular builds) wholesale
but shouldn't affect those of them lacking firefox.
This has apparently been a TODO item stuck until finding out
whether efi and isohybrid conflict or not; it's been a *long*
time since this has been found out (no conflict) actually,
let's add isohybrid to all of the images as it's completely
free size-wise and efi to chromium image as it's the largest
base one (I don't think that adding any extra functionality
to the already overweight and full of potential and kinetic
security bugs "flash" flavour is a good idea as it would
promote its use among those who need EFI but not Flash).
The sort key field value has been off-by-one apparently,
"6" corresponds to "capacity" field of df -PT output
while the "available" one was meant:
Filesystem Type 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda9 ext4 15350768 12799972 1747980 88% /
tmpfs tmpfs 1967204 27396 1939808 2% /tmp
1 2 3 4 5 6
This lapse has been five years old, looks like it's only
been masked by lower available space limit *and* filesystem
ordering by type so far. It didn't hit me even now, rather
inspected the code while implementing volumes-profile-starterkit...
The reason behind this silly patch is that the default URL
can be left alone with no rebuilds neccessary but with the
intranet services delivered through a "captive portal" or
a redirecting proxy; we definitely don't want the canonical
wiki URL, http://www.altlinux.org, blocked by a rule made
for redirecting the default homepage, so let it be another
one which is served but not widely known or linked to.
Wish this was done before starterkits alpha but still;
here are the preliminary (unqualified) test results:
- cinnamon: OK (vi_VN, zh_CN, ko_KR)
- gnome3: no way to change the hotkey; menu font troubles
- kde4: OK but lacks corresponding localization subpackages
- lxde: OK (vi_VN, zh_CN, ko_KR)
- lxqt: imsettings-xfce somehow gets in (unrequested!)
- mate: unable to change hotkey, applet complains to stderr
- tde: native apps don't recognize ibus input
This makes use of IM_PACKAGES variable processed by
newly added im feature so that DE-specific targets
could tell which DE-specific IM packages they'd like
on a system *iff* use/im has been requested.
Might be lacking right now, to be sorted out with
the actual users.
It's a simple text editor quite popular among
debian/ubuntu users for some reason; let's make
it available so that those uncomfortable with
vim(1) aren't totally at loss.
This one has been brewin' for quite a while but has been
completed finally; some tweaks sure can come in later but
it's working.
Please note that it's rather needed for "proper" distros
with specific branding and docs packages prepared for those;
one should use l10n feature most likely too.
The "full" target should care for rescue bits as well
(remember that THE_* won't go there); thus regular-rescue.iso
will receive these couple hundred useful kilobytes as well.
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.
I decided that it's worth the added size to sprinkle more
hardware-related packages like SANE throughout the regular
crop so that compatibility tests are easier to do; there's
sane usage in there already, let's port live-gimp over too.
...now explicitly.
The problem started with systemd being tossed in but was ignored
for some time -- until systemd-221-alt1 gained X11 dependency
through /etc/X11/xinit.d/ script and triggered the libX11 test
that breaks regular-rescue.iso build.
pam_systemd and systemd-services still get in (and can be removed
by hand with nothing else requiring those).
It's the very same problem that must be solved within mkimage:
some package lists get expanded early and some late thus having
no chance to influence apt's choices of alternatives made early
(in fact, too early).
Until that, here's another kludge...
PS: turns out that ^systemd- is not "drop ^systemd" but rather:
systemd-analyze
systemd-coredump
systemd-journal-gateway
systemd-networkd
systemd-sysvinit
-- thus one /really/ wants something else.
This one was an experimental but the server is long
offline and isn't going back up; remove the obsolete
config snippet, if/when it's done again it's the easiest
part to be restored (the implementation should provide
HTTP/FTP/NFS-publishable deliverables without the need
to extract those from ISO images).
This one relies on the controversial polkit-sysvinit package
that subverts policykit using well known groups to make it
"work" for things like NM and shutdown helpers.
See also http://altlinux.org/sysvinit and feel free to improve.
