use/browser/firefox/esr was not enough to actually select firefox-esr
as the FX_FLAVOUR handler was simply not getting included (see also
the preceding commit); specify it explicitly.
The future mod might be introducing some "live" flag for that feature
to use it instead of adding livecd-webkiosk-* packages by hand...
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.
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).
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.
This one has formed off the recent addition to regular-rescue.iso,
namely the feature starting network and sshd upon generating some
random password and setting it as the root one for the (remotely
started) livecd session so that a person operating an IP-KVM/iKVM
would be able to boot off the ISO file via virtual media and then
look up an IP obtained via DHCP and the root password.
This one has been brewing since last autumn but the need
to cut down the stage1 (propagator) modules has been stopping
the code from showing up in master branch; now that the proper
infrastructure is in place it's there too.
There are a few ones that aren't needed for a one-time
environment off a LiveCD/Flash like a webkiosk; if you
happen to need a text-based kiosk some day, tell me so.
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.
I've been puzzled to find current live-webkiosk.iso trying to go
localboot with no timeout; this is basically a plug, VM images
might need more effort to go in.
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).
Firefox was the very reasonable default for initial livecd
implementation but now that at least initial browser chooser
infrastructure is in place it's time to un-hardwire its use.
It's _the_ default but switchable now so that images providing
a comprehensive browser can avoid feature duplication.
cvltonemap is no more available in sisyphus/p7;
xsane and usbutils were sorely missing (thanks dd@).
NB: fim is currently i586-only, need to fix or drop it.
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.
TerraSync might come handy (just as online manuals) but one's
going to need internet access for that so let's put at least
DHCP-over-Ethernet configuration preset in.
There's a beautiful airliner model out there thanks to the guys
at flightgear.ru, and it was asking to be included but its unclear
licensing status; now that 3.0 is GPLed I'm glad to add this package.
This might belong to test.mk actually but it's been instrumental
in getting bumblebee support operational within these LiveCDs;
icewm and sysvinit are a commonplace among those currently
but aren't set in stone for that matter.
It's old, it uses consolekit (even if not neccessarily),
it borders obsolescence *but* removal of udev-alsa has caused
massive regressions (e.g. regular-gnome3 had soundcard mixer
levels dropped to zero from the start, regular-razorqt added
inability to poweroff to that...).
Just get it back.
This has had several goals:
- a target suitable for x86 and armh providing a rather
minimal set of base xorg packages and generic drivers;
- task-oriented targets for graphics use cases:
+ "desktop" means rather 2D focus with 3D being welcome
or even essential but not performance critical, thus
"a slower driver is fine as long as it does work";
+ "3d" means specific 3D performance being critical,
that is "no 3D means no use at all".
Regarding the free and proprietary 3D-capable drivers:
the previous idea was to split out some common ground
and then add the contenders on top of that; the current
approach is based on the observation that the live images
requiring proprietary NVIDIA/AMD drivers *by default*
are usually of not much use with hardware that lacks
proper 3D acceleration (like Tseng cards) or the driver
support for that (like Matrox these days).
Intel videodriver makes for a special case though:
it is both free and top-notch performer.
Thanks sem@ and boyarsh@ for discussion.
PS: xorg-drv-{keyboard,mouse,void} dropped;
those who need these can usually help themselves.
It might benefit the existing users to be able to configure the
build node persistently across reboots; though the need for something
like NFS overlay or repo settings piggybacked over DHCP is still there
(just ask ildar@).
Added use/live/net-eth so that autoconfigured images
still work in predictable manner.
May those breaking trivial cases walk with zillion of
cdrom, modem, ethernet etc device nodes all around them!
Added fvwm flavour specially for perestoronin from da LOR.
As if it wasn't enough,
- added UEFI support to desktop/,live-desktop intermediate target;
- added live installation capability to desktop/.livecd-install;
- added "net-eth" subfeature to get good ol' eth0 insteal of enp0s3;
- dropped use/x11/autologin as live subprofile sets up
a supported DM for automatic login anyways.
The whole live-rescue needs a massive facelift regarding
applications included and user experience achieved (remember
that folks are going to be stressed enough already with data
lost or system(s) not booting, and probably offline as well);
but at least it's UEFI bootable now.
