It's been proposed to add an image writing tool to all of
the desktop regular builds (which is reasonable).
rosa-imagewriter depends on qt5 that's currently found in
lxqt, kde4 and kde5 flavours only so let's put it there.
imagewriter (the openSUSE's original one) goes to the rest of
DE builds: xdg-su would fallback to gksu if none of the desktops
got "detected", and that means several more megabytes of crap
(completely unneeded in WM-based images I think).
It's lacking in server starterkits for no good reason;
if there's another well supported MTA some day that's
challenging postfix as the default in any images,
just drop me a note/commit.
This is to avoid systemd components getting pulled in
during early dependency resolution stage for no good
reason (see also http://bugzilla.altlinux.org/30806);
should be fixed within mkimage so that hardwiring
both sysklogd and etcnet here gets unneccessary.
All regular images (except for jeos) should be able to work with
or install via NFS, and nfs-utils dependency is finally being
removed from the package carrying mount(8):
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/31498
Done due to Balbes' (quite reasonable) suggestion
to do so for all of the installable regular builds
as changing disk partition layout is better made
with the proper tool.
Drop qtparted from lxqt pkglist as it's broken :(

samba-DC-4.3.1-alt1 package set introduced task-samba-dc metapackage,
let's use that one while still carrying around what's missing there
and got collected here.
It's a GTK utility, in contrast to the rest of LXQt;
and looks like it's not that needed anymore with
better native display setup (if anyone does prefer
arandr in this particular image, drop me a note).
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.
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.
These packages have been proposed by valintinr@:
- stress is included in SRCD and was found useful;
- winusb is handy when dealing with legacy OS media.
It pulls in a huge pile of dependencies including
libopenblas -- this should be fixed in repositories
of course but let's do something on our end too...
This is an initial implementation of architecture dependent
contents handling for package lists more or less in the vein
of mkimage-profiles-desktop's one *but* using suffix part to
filter words in or out *not* prefix part to replace it with
a comment marker (thus filtering out lines).
The syntax should be pretty obvious:
a b@i586 c@x86_64
will get "a b" given ARCH=i586 and "a c" given ARCH=x86_64;
please see doc/archdep.txt for a more elaborate description
and a conversion script.
I don't know of [k]powersave interactions with systemd
and the rest of that ilk, let's be cautious and only provide
it for sysv-tde images which have been actually tested
by Speccyfighter who asked for this package.
Can't tell for sure but something seems to break
suspend menu option (hibernate isn't supported in
all of the regular builds/starterkits just yet).
These aren't going to survive use/cleanup/x11 anyways
(and weren't that generic in the first place); let root@
install whatever they actually need later.
cool-retro-term 1.0.0 exhibits a bug without these fonts around:
glyphs would be drawn higher than cursor with upper half being
cut off (found out by putting my current crop of font packages
into livecd environment and removing them until the correct
behaviour would get broken).
This nice FTP/HTTP client has one issue that bars its inclusion
into every regular desktop image: lftp.desktop file that pops up
in menu but only offers an xterm with a CLI-based utility which
feels embarrassing for a casual user unfamiliar with its power.
IceWM users shouldn't be surprised however.
This project has evolved/merged into LXQt which has been
packaged for both p7/t7 and sisyphus by now, no need to
carry on deprecated bits.
NB: 0.6.x still have it as t6/p6 still bear razorqt.
Split package lists:
- base alsa packages (also needed in pulseaudio-based installations)
- additional alsa packages (needed only if not using pulseaudio)
- pulseaudio packages
The problem with the changed piece of code is that it would
- both call cp(1) multiple times if multiple *_LIST variables
were non-empty (which is usually the case), and
- try to evaluate stdout of the called commands as a shell
script (which would be empty unless someone passed e.g. -v
to that cp(1) but it's crazy to rely on things like this).
So the functions should prepare arguments for a single copy
command that is predictable and could be made verbose.
Ouch.
This batch deals with various Microsoft(R) Word(TM)
instilled formats like RTF/DOC/DOCX and requires nothing
but basic libraries and perl at most; might get extended
over time but please mind the extra dependencies!
This utility manages systemd services inside chroot
while the host system runs sysvinit (systemctl will say
"Running in chroot, ignoring request" and bail out).
This was basically a feature request to get smartctl into
sysv-tde starterkit; it's in regular+extra which is pulled
for regular/starterkit rescue images already but it's better
to have it duplicated here than missing somewhere as the tool
is pretty requisite these days.
The problem with initial implementation (commit 62e7e9c)
is that there's no systemd-services package in p7/branch
thus apt complains about an attempt to remove something
that doesn't even exist in the first place.
There are quite a few potentially useful packages
implementing FUSE based (userspace) filesystems,
these are typically lightweight and still might be
helpful to someone stuck with our rescue image...
xfdashboard is a GNOME Shell-like window switching interface
and application runner; xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin is another
(KDE-like) menu search facility; thanks sem@ for suggestions.
The issue at hand is that interactivesystem pulls in
network-config-subsystem and that one has several providers
by now, systemd-networkd being one of them since recently
(and pulling in systemd).
Just the same problem as with systemd-journal; both might be
fixed by reworking mkimage to allow for different package name
resolution modes:
- "slap everything together and resolve with one-shot"
to handle conflictless situations (most of those);
- "process multiple transactions to allow for conflicts"
thus making it possible to include e.g. a few MTAs into
the provided package base.
Ensure that systemd is outside by explicitly telling so
in the pkglist.
Borders with archive+extra but that one contains standalone tools
and this is a FUSE-based one -- with more of those included in this
particular pkglist already; if we decide that it's a worthy addition
to any image requesting a bunch of archiving tools then it might move.
It's useless as of right now:
- menu file and udisks2 dependency are missing
- udisks2 itself lacks an initscript
Let's note these deficiencies at least...
It looks *ugly* on-screen, at least within regular builds,
even if the screen is 166dpi.
Based on a quick experiment this morning I'd suggest using
fonts-otf-adobe-source-{code,sans}-pro instead -- and it's
available as use/fonts/otf/adobe now, incidentally.
The documentation is still built with it though as a2x/fop look
unhappy otherwise (as in replacing Cyrillic glyphs with "#"s).
