d868071002 desktop+gnustep: minor tweaks during ongoing testing
Burn.app won't list a USB DVDRW drive with CD-RW inside
(NOT_FOUND), and its README states explicitly that wodim
is not supported yet.

Mixer.app would start with three knobs none of which would
actually change any mixer channel.

b0df203272 live.mk: redone live-flightgear
This time it autostarts using livecd-fgfs and primus
if possible; firefox and GUI mixer are the notable loss
but the clarity of "boot into FlightGear" should sort of
compensate for that.

Ah, and Tu-154 by default.

fd8f375573 regular.mk: use imagewriter
Looks like Qt4-based imagewriter fits these images better
than Qt5-based rosa-imagewriter; so be it.

da8b4765b7 regular.mk: cinnamon to use un-def
Current Sisyphus' xorg-drv-intel works somewhat better
with recent kernel drivers on my HD4000 GPU, and icewm
is not compositing at all; providing another test/backup
image fitted with newer kernel should do no harm.

3eab800508 regular.mk: added rosa-imagewriter to kde4 flavour
This package has been built and recommended by cas@;
it requires Qt5 which hasn't been needed for anything else
included in regular builds so far so let's extend kde4 one
to begin with.

1aad0bc5f9 regular.mk: use plain autologin for wmaker
lightdm isn't going to turn off the system properly
with no systemd-logind around ("for no good reason",
that is); good ol' wdm for installed system and the
similarly ol' autologin just work though.

nodm is not gonna cut it since user PATH is weird
within the session breaking livecd-install by putting
/usr/sbin before /usr/bin while it shouldn't be there
in the first place.

fe56fda2f3 x11-autologin: added a few notes
Looks like nodm doesn't reset the PATH set within
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions which results in sbin
path components hitting user's PATH; livecd-install
which uses consolehelper was what broke first for me.

And this link should illustrate some of the problems
tackled by this kind of scripts...

922a2759b0 server: set default syslinux timeout to 60 sec
Servers can POST much longer so having to play hide and seek

187d3dedf2 regular.mk: explicitly add NM to a few images
As it happens regular-rc testing has shown that cinnamon,
gnome3 and kde4 flavours included NM via their pkglists
and dependencies (which used to result in live feature
enabling NetworkManager service wholesale when found);
now when handling default services has become more strict
it became apparent that these images have got their LiveCD
mode running without network by default (installation does
set that up though).

It looks like an easy way to just stick +nm into .regular-desktop
dependencies but then razorqt, sugar, xmonad would get NM which
is not what they're gonna handle; e17/e18 too.

53f05f46a8 live: put rpcbind to local-only mode by default
We don't really want to disable NFS portmapper completely
but having some extra root code listening to the world is
really unneccessary unless explicitly required.

Applying "control rpcbind local", thanks ldv@ for advice.

5d829265db live, net: shift and rework network and resolver setup
50-setup-network was a hasty hack (surprise!) that used to do
what net and net-eth features have been created to do since;
just drop the duplicated crufty code.

Unconditional resolver setup isn't done now: those with static
setup are better off doing it explicitly, and those with DHCP
should be fine already.

NB: /etc/hosts *is* fine within setup package *but* hasher will
    overwrite it with a copy of host's one; let's reset contents
    to initial at least until hasher gets fixed and the fix is
    rather deployed in the wild.

5de5da1d55 regular.mk: rescue should use branding
Well actually it shouldn't -- except for rEFInd the boot manager:
branding graphics within the build environment are used to add
a single background image to EFI/refind/icons/ thus the change.

Wonder how this got lost though as this screenshot:
http://en.altlinux.org/File:Altlinux-rescue-uefi-memtest86.jpg
clearly illustrates it was working back in December indeed!

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.

afa1e2db50 regular.mk: tweaked .regular-sysv-gtk

f2892ad3e4 deflogin: GLOBAL_ROOTPW is always set
use/deflogin will result in ROOTPW being exported no matter
is it set or not; xport() can't check before exporting as it
relies on lazy evaluation when the actual ROOTPW value can be
set or modified after exporting GLOBAL_ROOTPW for mkimage.

So let's not even pretent we can differ unset ROOTPW from
empty ROOTPW: both result in empty GLOBAL_ROOTPW as of today.

Fixing this would require moving the exports into a separate
makefile being included after all the configuration and checking
each variable for being defined before exporting the corresponding
GLOBAL_ prefixed one.

Yes this might be a security fix in some cases.

ecc5039c29 regular.mk: once-only slideshow for sysv-tde
TDE images are pretty modest regarding resource consumption
thus suitable for older hardware; a slower flash drive can
stall indefinitely showing slideshow and not going any further

2aece7c6ec p/l/t/README: updates and tweaks
Some more editing has been due over pkg.in/lists/tagged/README
to make it more comprehensible and up-to-date; the problem with
groups isn't actually that bad as alterator-pkg's groups concept
is currently aligned with the requisite functionality provided by
pkg.in/lists/* directly; the tagged pkglists come into play when
we want to add "something like that" and don't really care about
the fine details of a secondary thing trusting that it's actually
comprised and working as advertized through its name tags.

Compare to reusing the pre-existing image configuration or features
versus reimplementing things in a rigid manner -- it's a flexibility
vs predictability question, and both scenarios are supported within
m-p explicitly.

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.
