Now that we don't ignore X-Alterator-PackageList
in pkggroup files these few places referencing
group names as list names have broke; bring 'em
in line through this new and shiny function.
These mostly come from m-p-d but have been heavily reworked
for the new workstation distro, here's a list of the
typical changes:
- changed X-Alterator-Parent from centaurus-desktop
to a more fine-grained toplevel entry;
- tweaked Categories for the desktop file (e.g. pidgin);
- packages added or removed (like sane to scanning);
- adapted for m-p's biarch support scheme (see emulators);
- renamed more appropriately (for example, 3d -> blender);
- improved descriptions (e.g. by adding specific product
names to groups referencing single-package lists).
Several ones were done from scratch.
NB: lists/groups have been moved into workstation/
and intersynced accordingly.
Make it prefix not suffix so that sorting order
in alterator-pkg is natural instead of chaotic
during installation; turn some implicit "tools"
into explicit ones for consistency either.
Another zerg@'s surprise was the change with amarok,
k3b and ktorrent packages in sisyphus/p8: these have
been changed to use kde4libs/kf5 and KDE3-related
packages have now been renamed to kde3-*.
Handling this without metapackages is more tricky
so do just that.
The problem at hand was that use/x11/xorg has been final,
and zerg@ just couldn't switch from nouveau to nvidia
when kdesktop needs that one.
Initial approach included a "big" FREE/PROP switch that
chose the particular KMODULES/PACKAGES to get added to
THE_* but that fails to achieve e.g. nvidia+radeon combo;
looks like these need individual switches.
Current lxsession would offer to lock screen but will silently
fail within default regular-lxde.iso environment (that does lack
any kind of X screen lock utility); add some.
There were two problems:
- the latest pgsql related groups made installation
impossible (yes, that last minute change);
- hardware testing shows that use/stage2/kms is now
requisite as xorg-drv-fbdev might just refuse to work
with what looks like a perfectly good framebuffer...
Do away with them *quick*.
This is a clone of tagged/server+sambaDC pkglist
with added metadata *and* an installer feature
to make things happen at install time; not sure
if regular-server-samba4 is going away any time
soon though as it's useful standalone too.
This might (and probably should) get split into
{base,desktop}+cups somewhere down the road,
maybe when we do print servers again; let's keep
things simple at the moment though, we only need
this for desktop images.
This cp(1) option has been employed already but just for the lists
(and still incomplete as it didn't cover the names coming through
groups mechanism); thanks sem@ for trying out groups/simply/*,
failing to build an image and reporting the problem.
Reported-by: Mikhail Efremov <sem@altlinux.org>
Turns out that this package made cinnamon's terminal mix up
font glyphs (latin ones would appear vector ones from it,
and numeric ones would come from a fixed bitmap font).
Any additions should make the set better so if any particular
image degrades we'd better fallback and regroup.
PS: boyarsh@ tells that this well might be an infinality problem.
I've read about it while working on http://altlinux.org/upstream page
and thought that providing it within ALT Linux Regular/Starterkits
project builds would be reasonable (upon having checked it of course).
Removing packages in a feature's pkglists that seemed to be
reusable caused to have been a disastrous idea; fix that,
and let the distro-specific bits care for particular removals
(if these are still needed with m-p).
Based on ALT Linux School 7.0.5 Junior and Simply Linux target:
- simplify rules
- use list with educational software missing in Simply Linux
- fix Simply Linux build on Sisyphus
Those packages which are *required* should be available
for standalone use; and those which are optional should go
into extras.
Adjust server feature accordingly.
kf5-i18-ru, in this case (of course this should be handled
by a proper l10n subsystem -- yet another use case for it,
just not clear what exactly do we want).
These have been partially inspired by inquisitor's
build/altlinux/profile.live/packages collection of
more or less benchmarks/burn-in tools.
Those requiring libX11 won't hit regular-rescue.iso
so let's put them on a file of their own.
And while at that, there are a couple of MPI/IB
benchmarking tools as well.
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 :(
See also (in Russian):
https://forum.altlinux.org/index.php?topic=35681.msg269732#msg269732
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).
vkni@ removed fonts-bitmap-cyr_rfx-iso10646-0400
from WindowMaker dependencies; I think that's wrong
but life is short so let's compensate that here as
at least regular-gnustep.iso degrades (GNUstep menus
are rendered in fixed bitmap font then).
A nice little hack that looks up running instances of cp/mv/tar/gzip/...
in /proc and comes up with job completion percentage. Useful when one
didn't bother to use pv(1) or the process has been running for quite
some time already.
There's no sense to duplucate sysklogd requirement
in plethora of fallback places when a specific feature
responsible for comprehensive init system choice has been
implemented since; just use/init/sysv as needed.
fonts-ttf-droid have been superseded by fonts-ttf-google-droid-sans
in Sisyphus which might be lacking; I've considered replacing it
with Fira anyways, so let's just do that.
Neither qupzilla nor pcmanfm-qt will fire this up
automatically when dealing with a PDF file so rather
adding a reminder to have a look at it some day.
Non-GUI packages moved to base+nm pkglist to enable standalone
installation of those; and GTK bits left in desktop+nm for use
by images lacking their own new and improved(tm) variant.
Note that both GNOME3 and KDE4 aren't lacking anymore.
The logic is pretty much the same as with live.mk,
even somewhat extended as this has actually been
the driver of this change: some images like icewm
or lxqt-based ones might show off other browsers
explicitly (in addition to zerg@'s request).
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.
This package contains a custom dialog-based dc3dd frontend
aimed to help non-expert CLI users to deal with common tasks
involving full-drive imaging and contributed by Maxim Suhanov.
These are rather foreignsic:
liblnk-tools: Tools to access the Windows Shortcut File (LNK) format
libregf-tools: Utilities to inspect Windows REGF-type Registry files
libuna-tools: Utilities from libuna for Unicode/ASCII Byte Stream conversions
libvshadow-tools: Tools to access the Volume Shadow Snapshot (VSS) format
Suggested by Maxim Sunahov and ported from OBS packages.
plasma-applet-networkmanager has been superseded by a bunch
of kde4-plasma-nm* packages; only the main one has been included
in regular-kde4 flavour since the switch resulting in the lack of
VPN/mobile connectivity options.
My opinion still is that plasma-applet-networkmanager should be
returned as a metapackage for p7/branch timespan so that images
could be built no matter whether it's sisyphus or p7 at hand.
Oh well.
These plugins should be required by a metapackage providing
plasma-applet-networkmanager so that branch and sisyphus builds
use the same pkglist; let's add those explicitly while that's
not done yet.
There's a whole slew of improved dd(1) forks out there
and several more utilities around, some might stick to
this one and others to that one; let's try and make'em
all happy even if it's not really feasible...
There's a nuance: libaff used to contain the utilities
and is required by sleuthkit; 3.7.4-alt1 has aff-tools
split into a subpackage of its own so we'd better keep
the binaries by adding this one.
biew was strangely missing indeed; several more
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Category:Tools
added as these have been packaged for ALT already;
fatback is on the way and dc3dd should come soon.
Debugging department has seen a /minor facelift/ too.
Some tools depend on X11 though and have been put
into a separate pkglist for that matter.
This is a refactored result of Zabbix-related experiments;
we can do a rough zabbix server sketch that still requires
its own setup to go.
NB: both the pkglist and the target are describing several
distinct things actually: zabbix server, zabbix agent,
and the underlying SQL/HTTP/SMTP servers which might get
their own smaller targets some day.
acpid is not enough since power button handling configuration
has been split apart; and tracking this in zillion places is
utterly useless in face of a specially trained power feature.
Just use it.
It's missing in Sisyphus since php5 update to 5.5.x;
while an opcode cache would be a powerful boost for
many webapps this has to be sorted out in repos first.
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.
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.
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.
Split development packages into dev+gnustep pkglist -- these are
worth including in "full" version but will need thorough testing
so as to present the tools to those who value these.
Some of user packages are problematic and shouldn't be included
right now; the problems are mostly of these kinds:
- app won't start (at all or effectively);
- useless for being too alpha quality/incomplete;
- menu file for a commandline app lacking any feedback;
- package lacks the dependencies needed;
- it's a LoginPanel ;-)
Thanks a lot to upstream authors, real@ the packager
and kostyalamer who prepared a lot of menufiles anyways!
This is not strictly required but is basically requisite for some
operations with both packages (did you know about rpm2cpio.sh?)
and initramfs images (which are gzipped cpio archives).
So let's put it in.
Let's put osec tools into installable packages at least
(aiming to shift these into default install probably);
these are worthwile addition to sysadmin's toolbox.
Thanks dobr@ for bringing this up.
It turns out that regular-rescue.iso lacks sshfs,
which is unfortunate (even if it could be installed
with apt in this particular case); three more FUSE
based filesystems have been added just in case.
Thanks mithraen@ for suggesting davfs2.
Argh, so alterator-auth was hiding under a name it provides too
-- now *that* is the cause for those last-step failures as the
rest of the environment hasn't been getting set up apparently.
Just drop it, there's a proper domain-client pkglist for that.
This is what 63293ff22a should
have done too.
I wondered how regular-e18 lacked econnman but it only
took a closer look to understand that it's just not told
to go in, plain and simple!
There are no e18-extra-modules (at least so far),
confine that to desktop+e17.
This basically reverts commit c18ef37274
for all practical purposes and restores the problem with chromium livecd
still that's less of a problem compared to regular builds complaining
that firefox is not the default browser when it's the only one anyways.
live-webkiosk doesn't really need it and mixin/desktop-installer
was picking it up due to d+n+l satisfying d+n query. This could
be fixed with && !live but fixing bitrot is the better way to go.
It's amazing but I've managed to miss out this brilliant
Qt-based Jabber client; a small selection of plugins is
added as well, suggestions are welcome.
- speech-ru and speech-en features are added;
- speech-related things removed from homeros features;
- speech/ directory for package lists added and other corresponding changes.
This doesn't add much but complements the compression utilities.
Maybe it should be moved to rescue+archive, especially if more
tools of this kind get written and packaged.
This package list is somewhat non-trivial and controversial:
- bacula client support is a pretty tiny addition; it does require
extensive knowledge of what's being done and too new client version
can actually hurt (as the bacula director version must not be lower);
- duplicity was added due to lav@ seemingly using it (it's tiny either).
Suggestions are welcome.
It was the proposal to add fsarchiver that has started this;
the package was there in X11-bearing live-rescue.iso but appears
to be a console program thus moved to rescue+misc pkglist;
more than a few rescue-grade utilities have turned up during
a quick look at what else is missing.
shellinabox and dvdsaster have been "added" as candidates since
the former does require additional actions but can provide a nice
security hole if these are taken without extra consideration,
and the latter is just pretty large although might still be useful.
This neat little utility helps immendely to deal with
the eternal "where all of my mega/giga/tera/petabyte disk
space went so busy?"... wonder how it could evade m-p ;-)
Some of the excluded dockapps would crash on startup
or just require manual configuration thus getting those
into the default menu on a live image would rather harm.
It's a great tool giving the ability to at least debug
the novel problems that weren't there before systemd.
Good that it doesn't want half of GNOME or python yet...
gvfs pulls gnome-online-accounts and dconf in;
these add considerable bloat that well may be
undesirable in a lightweight distro, just pull
this into a separate pkglist.
george@ spotted gqview in regular-lxde.iso and wondered why;
it's not being developed since 2006 or so while there's a fork
named geeqie which has continued to improve upon it.
Few things:
- extend feature specification
+ SysVinit can be chosen explicitly via init feature,
no need to keep sysklogd in yet another pkglist;
+ power management should be included too
(both cpufreq setup and power button handling);
+ LILO seems to be heavily preferred among the
target audience :)
- use desktop installer for regular-server
+ the seeming controversy is explained easily:
installer-distro-altlinux-generic has very few
modules to the point of being inconvenient for
anything but quick rounds of basic testing,
and distributions rather do need network setup
along with a non-privileged user.
The funny thing while debugging this was "how the heck
could a sound related change induce privilege related shift?"
-- turns out that udev-alsa (which pulls in ConsoleKit)
was the culprit... looks like LXDE hasn't dumped it yet :)
This bunch of commits was done so these can be
mixed and matched (or even reverted) later if needed;
it was tempting to just revamp things wholesale again
but coarse grained approach is worse to maintain.
The client side might benefit a bit more in the future
but the server side does not (and should not) require
everything client side does; thus use base ALSA target.
This replaces the many sets of the corresponding packages
wandering all over pkglists, features and configurations;
the interface should be rather well-defined by now.
Based on m-p-d's domain-client pkglist and scripts from
installer-feature-network-shares-client-stage3 package.
Many thanks to boyarsh@ for his kind help to get this working.
NB: this works on cubox but is not yet ready for installers!
...as per aen@'s advice: parole can use gst0.10 specific
hardware acceleration on Cubox but Firefox doesn't, so it's
way more reasonable to download video and watch it and not some
kind of slideshow.
Those based on x86 ones but pruned according to armh repo
presence; most notably, these are missing:
compiz compiz-gtk
java-1.6.0-sun mozilla-plugin-java-1.6.0-sun
libreoffice
remmina
xfcalendar
yagf
gdm-theme-simply is still around but turns out that it counts
on gdm2.20 (providing gdm) to be installed, and it is not;
thus gdm-3 is actually pulled in and it doesn't work here.
The package should be dropped from Sisyphus probably,
let's drop it here anyways.
The issue at hand is the hack to be employed in the init feature:
@$(call add,THE_LISTS,$$(INIT_TYPE))
where INIT_TYPE is set separately; $(value $V) would leave that kind
of substitution unmolested while we would actually need it done.
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.
These handle only VE-like products (think TWRP on Nexus 7);
the proper image support should be backported later on.
An experiment in layered configurations is still in its
early stages regarding ARM zoo...
...and switch to cinnamon-regular metapackage in general:
the remaining blocker being gdm required by that and not
actually going to work (it used to start gnome-shell which
wouldn't work in that configuration either) is now fixed,
thanks cow@.
PS: plymouth is moved upstream, drop the dup.
There were several packages which don't really belong to base
list but rather to the desktop one; given that both of these
are included in desktop images it's a no-op for them but the
server ones might be better off without graphics.
Whoops: XFS, JFS, NTFS, FAT support has been lost while dancing
with reusing rescue lists and back to being lean.
Thanks Vladimir Gusev for spotting [a part of] this.
Moved the packages which impeded pkglist reuse for live distros
so that these stay within dedicated rescue images but don't
neccessarily go into the more generic ones where things like
fdisk are still quite useful.
The expected behaviour is to have online repositories enabled
when the livecd is running; the trouble with runtime detection
relates to the asynchronous nature of network configuration,
connection might get probed just before it is brought up
(thus failing the test).
Systems having been installed-from-live don't misbehave this way
so left unmolested.
Runtime detection is still available via use/live/repo/online
but is definitely not the default mechanism.
