There's no NetworkManager or connman in this lightweight image
so let's put at least the lightweight connection specific GUIs
like this one; proposed on the forum by Speccyfighter and
acked by squire as useful for traffic-metered plans:
http://forum.altlinux.org/index.php/topic,28619.msg201159.html#msg201159
A syslogd is required by interactivesystem and we definitely
don't want any extra systemd on a sysvinit image.
Thanks Speccyfighter on the forum for the observation.
A duplicate has formed while factoring out bare target;
as currently only the rescue image uses it in a special way
and that one benefits from additional crypto packages as well,
let's put LUKS related packages into bare for the time being.
The persistent storage is a nice addition to LiveCD images;
it doesn't come for free though in terms of performance
(especially for the first boot), so it should stay optional.
Note that use/live/rw belongs to base and not bare since
otherwise rescue becomes rescue+live which is superfluous;
hence the special use/rescue/rw.
Whoops, and I was mildly wondering where are alterator modules...
thanks Speccyfighter again for bringing attention to the issue
which has turned out to be ultimately caused by an overlooked bit
being missing.
This one was just asking to be built for quite a long time;
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/LiveCDs
specifically accenting use of smartmontools 6.0 has finally
persuaded me to roll out yet another rescue livecd, that is
on the regular basis.
The metapackage was fine, the "only one" additional package
was more or less okay, but there came a dozen more so it's
now reasonable to stash these into a separate pkglist.
...and refactored its use in cinnamon image too;
this isn't a permanent solution though,
slated to move into fonts feature.
Thanks gns@ for suggestion.
There isn't much sense to keep an entirely separate flavour
as deepsolver starts being actually useful and icewm is
a somewhat special flavour for those who know their ways
around Linux plumbing.
The various *8168 and friends among kernel modules
have finally been pushed into a designated target
so that RM doesn't have to care which particular
additional ethernet modules are available in this
particular branch and kernel.
Tweak distros as appropriate.
NB: *maybe* this is required by distro/.base either.
acpi_call is used far too often when dealing with the newer
portable x86 hardware, we're better off including it when
it's available.
regular.mk adjusted appropriately.
Richard and Theo would probably roll their eyes at this point
but the unfortunate reality is that wireless hardware is very
much dependent on firmware being explicitly provided; so here
it is.
rtl8192 kernel module added since it's present in t6/branch
at least.
This change mostly concerns with making icewm flavour
the lean one again.
The goal is to widen the dynamic range of regular image features:
icewm is not a desktop thus can bear withouth systemd-logind
even if a bunch of network-managing-media-mounting crap has been
rigged to depend on it, and ALT domain client should be included
in most builds for convenient testing in SMB environments but can
stay out of this minimal and "different" image.
It also receives the "un-def" kernel flavour (3.8.0 as of today)
which might benefit from the more available testing facility too.
Its branding is also simplified, plain syslinux menu is fine;
in similar vein, refind feature is flipped from icewm-only to
all-but-icewm set of images with its state being good enough
as of refind 0.6.7 and mkimage 0.2.7.
It'd be better for this commit to appear before 0.9.7
(and clobber the original one) but at least the added
functionality has been tested; time to generalize it.
enp0s3 is quite inferior to eth0 in terms of usability
even if it might be more convenient for the machine{,ry}.
Let's stick with what works here in ALT Linux (see #28484).
The same "regular-gtk" based set of images received common
desktop background provided; note that kde4 won't like it
(branding package didn't really anticipate kde4 and is to
be updated appropriately as well as extended for mate/fvwm).
This one is also used for lightdm/gtk.
"regular-gtk" based images moved from the (unsupported) gdm2.20
to the (supported) lightdm with gtk greeter; while a couple of
gdm2 forks have emerged it's still unclear whether mate or mint
one will be actually alive, even short/mid-term.
The issue is that it's suddenly broken in current Sisyphus,
looks like the peculiar set of assumptions in fedora-tweaked
systemd+plymouth+gdm3 relies on tty1 being the X session tty
and it's different here.
It would be great to have #28289 fixed either so that aris@
could approve the image as usable (I totally agree that it's
a major piece of real world functionality currently missing)
looks like there's sense to prepare a starter iso for tests.
The current refind support implementation doesn't boot
with either USB Flash or CD-ROM for me (due to the different
actual volumes, FAT vs El Torito, accordingly).
And when it does, a host with Secure Boot present and not
disabled yet would turn the unsigned kernel down unlike ELILO
(due to rEFInd using "natural" calls to boot it).
Both issues are reported upstream; in the meanwhile let's
migrate a single test image but build the rest with elilo.
See http://www.altlinux.org/Регулярные_сборки_образов
for the idea behind this set of images; in short, it's
*not* a bunch of polished end-user distros in a moment
but rather to facilitate Sisyphus package base testing
in as-is state during branch pre-release time.
