The existing implementation would handle kernel differences
just fine but a bit too automatically: if it sees xz support,
that's what will end up being used (and if there's -Xbcj binary
compression filter available for the target platform, it will
be applied unequivocally either).
It's perfectly suitabe for getting fine-tuned release images
but is also a bit too resource-consuming while developing the
image configuration which has no business with its compression.
The one and only knob is SQUASHFS (see doc/variables.txt);
to give an idea of the differences, here are some numbers
for a mostly-binary (43% as per 99-elf-stats) webkiosk livecd
and a rather less so (18%) flightgear one on a dual quad-core
X5570 node (each mksquashfs run used up all the cores):
SQUASHFS | live-webkiosk.iso | live-flightgear.iso
---------+-------------------+---------------------
fast | 3:30 / 130M | 5:11 / 852M
normal * | 3:37 / 100M | 5:35 / 688M
tight | 3:50 / 98M | 6:47 / 683M
Thus if the knob isn't fiddled with, the defaults will allow
for a reasonably fast build of a pretty slim image; if one is
building a release or if a particular image is very sensitive
being close to the media capacity then just add SQUASHFS=tight
and see it a percent or two down on size.
Please note that lzo/gzip-compressed images are also quicker
to uncompress thus further helping with test iterations.
Thanks to led@ and glebfm@ for helpful hints and questions.
APM enabled notebooks would usually hibernate to
a partition of special type and special format;
thus to make use of this APM BIOS feature folks
might need a corresponding formatter.
Thanks snejok@ for spotting the missing, I didn't get around
to tests with headphones...
Also fixed nouveau getting in after target shuffling,
and tweaked firefox homepage to be useful in this context.
- 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.
Thanks to a reviewer who came with useful feedback and a goal:
http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID3/83728.html#136
the live-webkiosk image got forked into a separate one:
- dropped DRI, virtualbox GA, mc & co, docs, rpmdb;
- added Russian keyboard layout (ctrl+shift to toggle);
- rebased live-webkiosk onto live-webkiosk-mini ;-)
Maybe vbox guest additions will get back but rpmdb is a bit
impractical on a kiosk squashfs image, even in presence of
aufs rw overlay.
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.
There's much reason for reuse instead of duplication
among the different stage2-based subprofiles.
In particular, the rather monolithic driver cleanup script
of the ancient is better done in several clear pieces with
the final depmod run.
Scripts dropping apt/rpm databases will dump pkglist first.
A script purging /boot/* will honour live-install if present.
Minor inno^Wfixups all over the map too.
The previous configuration would result in intel-only
3D being available since nouveau and radeon kernel modules
are packaged separately with most kernel-images; getting
NVIDIA/AMD drivers in is more tricky due to availability
of both proprietary and free implementations with the choice
being rather a tradeoff in each case (somewhat less so with
ATI/AMD drivers).
So this is a first shot at the problem: FlightGear would
freeze on me with today's nouveau.
As was noted by Alexey Shabalin in libosinfo context,
current ALT Linux images tend to lack ISO9660 metadata
-- which they did have back in the day of Master 2.4.
Please note that the data collection occurs this way
due to mkimage's config.mk resetting the values to be
empty; this was worked around by using another config
file, $(BUILDDIR)lib/iso.mk, and including it later
but that would require a separate target with per-target
CONFIG variable which isn't elegant at all given the need
to actually build up the metadata set.
So the variables were changed (to be more readable anyways)
and then proxied back to BOOT_*. This might be cleaned up
some day after the inclusion order is tweaked or mkimage
defaults get set-if-unset-yet (?=).
As noted in doc/assumptions.txt, the SHELL based target tracing
only works for rules with recipes, even empty but present ones.
The simplest thing to do is hooking "; @:" onto the rule's tail
(one-liner with a non-printing shell builting "true" command).
It looks like the intermediate targets aren't all equal:
some define a finished feature while some create a common
lower level piece of configuration.
Let's do shortcuts for the former so that a distro line can be
more terse and descriptive; help targets in features.in/ tweaked
accordingly.
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
It's preferred for Razor-qt's logout app to be able to turn
the system off or reboot it; xdm lacks consolekit support.
Thanks Alexander Sokoloff for the hint.
If there's an ethernet interface, a DHCP client, and these
can result in connectivity out-of-box, then it's rather
a feature for almost any LiveCD.
Thus the configuration script is moved from dev feature
to live one with the addition of dhcpcd/dhclient test.
This is asking for some more neat solution though...
As it happens, I've stumbled upon a successfully built image
with alterator-grub in BASE and lilo in install2's installer-steps.
Of course the installer bailed out after dealing with packages :-/
Thanks Leo-sp50 for pointing out the (hopefully) right direction.
So far the tagged scripts concept is too fragile,
and these were used unconditionally anyways.
features.in/Makefile is broken regarding copying
tagged scripts right now...
This one starts up a Firefox session in kiosk mode
(there are several extensions, I find hsv@'s one
preferable) and tries to browse /image/index.html
which corresponds to index.html in the image root
(could be edited by means of e.g. isomaster).
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...
A larger block size was recommended by led@;
gns@ seems to concur as the 512k value was borrowed
from liveflash.eeepc profile (along with -noI).
The other issue is with binary specific compressors:
x86 was clearly assumed while the data for an educated
guess are pretty handy. Please note that using filters
incurs additional compression attempts for the utility
to choose the best result.
A minimal chroot supporting extension via apt-get;
vitals if built on Sisyphus as of Jan 16, 2012:
i586: 13M tar.xz, 58M chroot (33M w/o /usr/share/{doc,locale,man})
x86_64: 14M tar.xz, 60M chroot (35M w/o /usr/share/{doc,locale,man})
Trivial fixups (extra checks) added to two script hooks.
doc/variables.txt was missing the already-existing BUILDLOG
variable description, and ARCHES got added during multi-target
toplevel rewrite. Other minor fixes come as appropriate.
Initial openSUSE package base taming effort has shown that
relatively few things should be fixed; subst has been generalized
as -i option to sed(1) since its introduction, so let's just fix it.
Fixed up the remnants of the early style mix
to correspond to the proposed doc/style.txt;
the rationale being that
if [ ... ]; then
...
...
fi
is the more readable construct among itself,
if test ...; then
...
...
fi
and
[ ... ] && {
...
...
}
due to the condition being more distinguishable
when bracketed and the body more apparent as the
one inside "if" and not any other block; the less
obvious difference is that the final construct of
the latter form is prone to the whole script exit
status being non-zero if the condition isn't met.
Some parts of *image* configuration started slipping down
into the *feature* configuration, and that was wrong; fixed.
Also introduced proper use/live/x11 (via use/x11/xorg with added
wacom support for the sake of #26723/#26724) and rebased the
pre-existing descendants onto it.
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.
- parameter order fixed to "simple first, then those with args"
and documented as the preferred one (might be debatable, okay)
- added "lowmem" to live so it avoids a ramdisk but works off media
(it's a knob for propagator)
- added "fastboot" everywhere (but failsafe install) to make use
of Linux 2.6.29+ async controller initialization
- every snippet got a trailing newline so that isolinux.cfg is readable
And a fancy makefile to check for shortcut dups!
Here we go with postprocessing priorities along the way
as ISO hybridization has to occur before implanting
final MD5 sum (which must happen earlier than e.g. some
external MD5SUM file generation).
Unfortunately proper dependencies aren't applicable here
(though I'd like to be proved wrong on this one).
Please note that this needs propagator > 20101130-alt9
for automatic mode to work (has also been worked around
in gfxboot case with design-bootloader-source-6.0-alt1).
Thanks rom_as@ for asking about the hybrid image status
and helping out with testing.
This one used to use LIVE_MAIN_GROUPS which seems to be
overlooked substitution artifact from walking over
GLOBAL_PKG_GROUPS and GLOBAL_LIVE_PKG_GROUPS of m-p-d...
(not that LIVE_GROUPS are defined anywhere yet)
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 outmost shell loop got replaced with a (hidden) bunch
of targets -- it's somewhat controversial as the inner loops
are still there (but at least don't wrap around my SXGA+).
Full targetization might be beneficial in terms of parallelism
achievable *but* that would ruin git history being generated,
and building a distro configuration takes a few seconds at most.
(upon reading http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5414418/)
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).
use/live/autologin target tries hard to configure any available
autologin means, including a dedicated package and a few DMs.
Thanks gns@ as liveflash.eeepc got robbed somewhat.
Actually this is the proper rewrite that was looming ever since
tgz support was introduced: there are multiple archive formats
supported by mkimage, and there are multiple compression methods
available as well.
So the bullet got bitten yet again along with the "goal parser"
which should be more straightforward by now.
Thanks dkr@ and mithraen@ for the inspiration of this evening.
As noted by imz@ in #26608, a LiveCD is the more preferred
boot target to a local drive usually (just as was discussed
and implemented for ALT Linux 4.0 IIRC).
It was actually trivial given that the script was already
maintained as a package by enp@ and msp@; its usage requires
one to manually partition the target disk and optionally
mkswap in advance.
It's now possible to:
- make distro/server-ovz.iso;
- make distro/server-ovz-netinst.iso;
- publish the former image's contents on ftp.linux.kiev.ua;
- boot the latter (~17M) image and enjoy the netinstall ;-)
The catch is that the stage2 (altinst file) location has to be
hardwired into syslinux config snippet for things to happen
automatically -- even if it can be specified manually in case
of failure.
The other catch is that currently a netinstall image is somewhat
tied to the particular image it installs since stage1 kernel and
stage2 modules must correspond strictly (the typical symptoms of
the glitch would be missing mouse driver and weird "permission
denied" errors during an attempt to partition the hard drives).
It might be desirable to provide multi-distro netinstall image...
The features might get copy-pasted (or even copied-and-pruned)
when initialized; there's an unneccessary duplication of the
function name in the line adding it to FEATURES list, thus
prone to being forgotten and causing some havoc later on.
It was wrong in the first place but tackling this with some
double-colon rules ran into terminality issues, and further
tortures were considered unneccessary.
The current solution isn't perfect (no completely transparent
function name registration upon corresponding target being called)
but at least it is an improvement...
It appears that features.in/Makefile functioned a bit
differently by now than was described back then: after
loops and pushds got rearranged for robustness, it stopped
to pick up a cleanup feature tagged script.
That particular script is now better de-tagged and simply
placed as a script to be merged into install2 subprofile.
The tagged scripts still require a bit more comprehension
to understand the use cases (e.g., do we need per-subprofile
tagged script subdirs or just a toplevel one should be looked
at, with script names telling where to put them).
README used to mix up subprofiles and features; fixed.
We've got some parts of it in build-distro feature,
and some went to dev feature for no real reason.
But a bare installer might go without package base,
and LiveCDs other than live-builder might find local
repository useful given aufs2 root overlay.
Now the overall scheme is more straightforward:
- a distro:
+ asks that a package repo be included
+ cares to further add the packages to it
- a repo feature:
+ pulls in sub/main for it to happen
+ provides genbasedir script to create repo metadata
+ supplements live feature with repo configuration
This is a base for "media check" to become available:
using this feature will implant a checksum into the image
so that it can be verified during install.
Also added a test/demo distro/live-isomd5sum target.
For real distros an alterator module is probably due.
This feature was handling powersave already, so the name
should be changed already. Thanks sem@ for cpufreq-simple,
there's now a compelling reason for that rename.
Tweaked a few distro recipes accordingly.
- 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.
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)
The same change as in m-p-d f1c5dd0 (discussed in #22486).
Seems it wasn't the culprit regarding the "BIOS won't boot
off this DVD" but is also recommended in README.gfxboot.
src/dst tags might have been empty confusing tags2lists;
the current implementation is more robust (along with
slightly better debug within bin/tags2lists itself).
pushd/popd spam tamed too (replaced by nice log messages).
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
The extra tag to filter on was omitted while
moving the code from features.in/cleanup/generate.mk
into the more generic features.in/Makefile; fixed.
Auto-added tags will definitely see an overhaul
when it's more clear what can be done with them.
Applying set() and only set() to a GLOBAL_* is safe
but still a potentially confusing example; so let's
just do it right (and warn unsuspecting folks too).
This is a sort of anti-feature which removes and not builds;
still with mkimage-profiles' approach we can at least build
up the removal procedures as well.
It's what triggered the tagged scripts, BTW.
From now on a feature can contain this tree:
.
+- scripts.d/
+- image-scripts.d/
`- tagged/
+- scripts.d/
`- image-scripts.d/
...per subprofile part or in its root -- the latter one
gets merged into toplevel directory responsible for the
final image build.
NB: autoselected tags include only subprofile names
(or both parts, for complex subprofiles) --
this is highly prone to change yet!
Introduced support for hooks to be added to every
derivative substage of a "base" stage (think stage2/*).
Specific hooks for e.g. stage2/live would live in
features.in/*/live/*scripts.d/ while generic for stage2/* in
features.in/*/stage2/*scripts.d/
This was tackled before but it took raorn@'s hint regarding
sys-freedos-linux (ms-sys has no bootsectors compatible with
freedos currently) and gns@' quick rush at make-freedos-floppy
script to wrap things up.
Should be further developed to become actually useful though.
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).
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 ;-)
dst a shell variable in a makefile recipe,
its dereference must be escaped properly;
the net result was false positive for the test
with no harm being done but extra stuff tossed
into the generated profile
These were broken since 5ff375aa10bee7937db457d3df3115f938bb6c77
due to no bootloader being tossed anymore by the very
installer-distro-altlinux-generic (which is the default)
- 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
s,INSTALLER_KFLAVOUR,STAGE1_KFLAVOUR,g
s,INSTALLER_KMODULES,STAGE1_KMODULES,g
install2 isn't the only livecd around;
so far all of these share the same kernel
in m-p-d, and we'd rather need two+ kernels
with dual-arch media or so; let's not complicate
things too much at this point
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
This feature should absorb ha^Wmeasures for keeping install2
memory footprint to minimum, and so far it drops things not
critical for ru/uk/be users on the floor.
Should be ported to a l10n support framework when there's one.
All the three scripts depend on installer kernel presence in fact.
When live/rescue are in place, these should be adjusted correspondingly,
probably by moving them to some commonly used intermediate place.
Changed stage1 banner too.
...and switch syslinux.iso over to it: syslinux-3.86-alt4's
(actually opensuse's) gfxboot hackery doesn't properly init
video mode so memdisk-started freedos has console troubles
(and yesterday's hdt.c32 hassles could be avoided as well
it seems). And that's being implemented.
Mid-term plan: try switching to syslinux4.
PS: CLI fallback was actually a bug in hdt from syslinux <= 3.86-alt3
- 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
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
