A recent commit has dropped wireless support from
regular server images; staging modules might still
come handy in some situations, let's keep those in
but not as a part of default installation.
This one is likely to get just a single user right now
but the future potential is clearly higher.
Please do review libzmalloc implementation if concerned.
This is sort of laying the ground for the future dismantling
of 10-stage2 (which was sub.in/stage1/modules just recently);
things look like tagged lists might become due some day, e.g.
"net+usb" or "scsi+raid" -- time will tell.
These are aimed to test the modules.d/ and auto-pickup
implementation as well as to present an example.
At least 50-net might change (or just get renamed to avoid
auto-pickup) some day as the "net" feature's meaning is
to provide networking upon bootup and these modules are
only needed within stage1 if we're going to netboot;
and that's quite different thing.
armh-cubox bits are prone to get renamed/generalized too
since e.g. ArmadaXP based server images are going to need
this as well.
These were produced off the single sub.in/stage1/modules
file using this scriptlet to prefix/annotate the names:
grep '\.ko$' modules \
| grep -v / \
| while read m; do \
echo "$(find /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/{drivers,fs} \
-name "$m" -printf %P $m $(modinfo -d "${m%.ko}" 2>&1)"; \
done
...with subsequent sorting and manual separation.
This is meant to be the second stage in monolithic modules
file split, so the lists themselves are largely unmolested
otherwise. The plan is to further split those into prefix-
and module-specific ones.
Add a note clarifying 10-stage2's status, by the way.
What was a static sub.in/stage1/modules (and the only one)
is now features.in/stage2/stage1/modules.d/10-stage2
(basically a compatibility file that might go some day).
It will be auto-picked as its name corresponds to the
NN-SUFFIX pattern specified in stage1 subprofile now
with $(FEATURES) going into default STAGE1_MODLISTS.
stage1's got prepare-modules target collecting
modules file snippets all over stage1/modules.d/
subdirectories within individual features.
stage2 now adds names of all the features going into
a particular image as snippet file suffix list so that
individual features don't have to register themselves
twice (as a feature and as a propagator modules.d
snippet carrier).
This is going to allow both "uncommon" modules getting
included with no problem (sin@ has wanted cifs ones
for quite some time, for example, and some want e.g.
infiniband modules) *and* to reduce the actual list
below the common mark as well (which is the case with
live-privacy image, for one).
And stage1 memory consumption does matter in some cases
as it's highly critical with no chance to use swap yet.
...and split off use/live/.base *without* use/deflogin/live.
There's need for live images without predefined logins
(like e.g. live-privacy image).
NB: this commit might break things for someone, please notify.
The unfortunate thing is that we have to take care
for sessions, somehow; still there are only two for now
(LXQt and KDE5 Plasma Desktop) so this doesn't look like
a disaster just yet.
Commit 657c0bf has silently added use/bootloader
to the base use/install2 target thus breaking
experimental distro/netinst; it seems better to
require *a* bootloader in the target that's been
specifically designed to cover the common case
(thus linked to by +installer shortcut) but still
to have our base lightweight and flexible.
This doesn't hurt the actual distros as these use
+installer of course.
The former approach to handling "LiveCD with sessions"
has been to mangle "automatic=method:cdrom" into
"automatic=method:disk,label:ALT*" within gfxboot
so that propagator and make-initrd-propagator would
try and discover/create a filesystem labelled
"alt-live-storage" on a LiveFlash's free space.
Then "live_rw" handling has been unified in
make-initrd-propagator (as of 0.18-alt1) to accept
any of "label" subparameter or "live_rw" argument
to go and create_disk_slice().
Then propagator's cdrom.c has been fixed to actually
try sdX1 before sdX (as of 20150306-alt1).
And now it's all been tested to verify that:
- flash "ro" and "rw" boot is OK
- CD-ROM "ro" boot is OK
- CD-ROM "rw" boot is fine given that there's
a partition labeled "alt-live-storage" elsewhere
This is a can of worms indeed :-/

It's entirely unclear to an unsuspecting curious user
where the actual results of a proposed example hasher
build end up; that's ~/hasher/repo, just state that.
The former install2-only "bloated binary" purge script
happened to hit stage2 (which is a lot more than just
install2); a kind of safety net has been stuck into it
to guard installable LiveCDs against this particular
cleanup but seems it was not enought for ildar@ who
reported this problem almost three years after it was
introduced.
This change re-places the script back into install2
section; the binaries in question amount for ca. 8 Mb
(except openssl ildar@ asked about); if these are deemed
unneccessary within any other stage2-based subprofiles,
please step up with details.
use/vmguest/vbox/base used to pull in DRM modules
which are required for vboxvideo but useless without
xorg bits; and all of these aren't needed in jeos.
Things might break, doublecheck please.
When installer-feature-systemd-stage3 hits BASE_PACKAGES
it pulls install2-init-functions in which is wrong
(one of the consequences is that alterator-browser-qt
lands into even a very basic server installation).
And install2 doesn't even need that package as init feature
carries a script hook that does the same...
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.
The installer feature added is a trivial wrapper around
apt-cache nodeps to uninstall the ^lib packages that have
no more dependencies upon those when the temporarily
installed packages like alterator-browser-qt get removed.
This has only been useful for plymouth feature,
and +installer shortcut included this target
for all the wrong reasons as it seems today
(thus blocking the DRM-free server installers,
for example).
This authorized_keys file has been downloaded to get incorporated
into a script hook but was looking common enough to be forgotten
during pre-commit feature cleanup unfortunately; fix that.
A few more leftover libraries tend to hang around after
purging extra alterator packages that have fired already
during installation stage3; this change might hurt someone,
please do notify if that is the case (OTOH one isn't forced
to use it or to inherit intermediate targets that do so).
This feature operates LIVE_* variables specifically
(as opposed to the more generic THE_* ones) so +alsa
isn't exactly suitable but reusing the pkglist that's
just been factored out is fine.
Split package lists:
- base alsa packages (also needed in pulseaudio-based installations)
- additional alsa packages (needed only if not using pulseaudio)
- pulseaudio packages
live-webkiosk.iso regressed into trying to boot off the local disk
immediately, the exact cause is not yet discovered but this one
has popped in build trace (distcfg.mk) already.
Desktop images are still likely to depend on it though.
There were quite a few things missing:
- packager pseudo for both rpm and hasher;
- proper target (so that i686 or athlon don't confuse people);
- hasher repo for apt so that mkimage would use it too;
- last but not least, a friendly bootstrap message! ;-)
THE_* and friends are all unneeded for live builder image;
this commit makes dev feature basically incompatible with
install2 feature (which relies on the conventional behaviour
of main subprofile), will have to think it all over if the
combination of these two ever becomes needed.
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.
Aimed at live images at first but should cover installers as well.
This has been brewing for quite some time and while the proper
implementation is considerably more complex (and hard to do)
looks like there's demand for the particular important use case,
namely LiveCDs for Russian users, so this code has been shared
with a few people before merge.
E19 would ask the user if they want to shut down
when facing power button event; it won't get a chance
though as the system will hurl down immediately as per
acpid-events-power package provided configuration.
This should avoid ruining principle of the least surprise
with ROOTPW_EMPTY=0 or ROOTPW_EMPTY=n actually *enabling*
empty root password; overriding an already set "1" with "0"
becomes possible either.
This one has been inspired by these guys:
http://www.informatimago.com/linux/emacs-on-user-mode-linux.htmlhttps://raymii.org/s/blog/Vim_as_PID_1_Boot_to_Vim.html
It's aimed at building images running their main userspace
piece instead of ramdisk's init, that means PID=1, UID=0.
Mostly fun of course but it suddenly became interesting with
kernel IP autoconfiguration and e.g. elinks running this way
(NB: requires patched make-initrd 0.8.8 at the moment to get
resolver configured).
And startup times are way better than sysvinit and systemd combined!
This function's got its argument order chosen for "aesthetical"
reason of $(2) following $(1) in the macros but the logical order
is exactly the opposite: we care for kernel flavour much more than
for module set (which is dependent upon it).
So while silent dropout of kernel-image if KFLAVOURS is set
but KMODULES is empty could be fixed by testing for $(2) only,
it looks like a good time to fix this discrepancy altogether.
stage2 has been thinking it's synonymous with propagator
and used to usurp kernel's belongings either; carefully
tear scripts apart so that kernel feature makes sure
initrd gets generated, and stage2 (which is still all
about propagator) cares for its bits.
xorg-drv-vmware is desirable for guests with X11
but undesirable for text-only ones; let's provide
this knob at least but ideal m-p would figure out
that an image with use/x11 and use/vmguest/vmware
should receive this intersection either.
Maybe firmware feature should be merged into kernel feature
as the firmware binaries added by it are only used by kernel
but let's clean up a bit at a time.
"use/stage2/net-eth use/net-eth" would be common enough
for installers or livecd images to just get these pulled in
together by a convenient shortcut thus reducing confusion
and chances to just forget one of these counterparts.
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).
Font packages are sprinkled all over the metaprofiles,
let's try and help make their use more systematic.
This is a sort of a feature abuse as it was conceived
for fontconfig setup originally but spawning features
with confusing names looks grim; so let all things fonts
live within a feature named "fonts" for the time being.
There's not much sense in overduplication of documentation
(tends to get stale faster then), still it's not good to
just refer to the code as the PDF/HTML book is less useful
then; maybe drifting towards "recommended" bits with more
"advanced" things being impleentation-defined is better.
That's a part of ALT Linux conveniences: system log
messages at tty12 (helps immensely in case of disk crash
or cable problems as running anything, including utilities
to view logs, becomes painful to impossible in such cases).
systemd lacks this kind of setup out-of-box for sure
so zerg@ hacked a substitute together; just pull that in.
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.
This needs further refinement regarding p7/t7 specifically:
NM behaviour regarding defaults differs in sisyphus and this
has led to livecds booting with DHCP networking but installed
systems booting without configured interfaces.
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.
This is a similar trouble: p7/t7 branches had
plasma-applet-networkmanager while sisyphus has
switched to kde4-plasma-nm* (there's a bunch of
subpackages there, basically all of them desired).
The current branches lack both firefox 29+ and
firefox-classic_theme_restorer, correspondingly;
sisyphus has those; the feature shouldn't pose
any problems in both cases, should it?
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 one has been asking to be implemented for too long already,
and zerg@ was interested in a bit more lean and mean regular-kde4
either (there are two browsers provided with it via metapackage).
There's another reason to do it recently: Firefox Australis UI
is not exactly the best for many of us, and good ol' seamonkey
seems preferable for "vintage"/low-resource images coming with
icewm or windowmaker.
led-ws kernel flavour has gained kernel-modules-vmware
recently, let's add this to the appropriate targets.
It's used in regular-jeos already but THE_ part was missing.
dm service is set up to autostart when installed anyways,
and explicit `chkconfig dm on' results in it being turned on
at runlevels 2, 3 and 4 too which is really not needed.
Thanks led@ for spotting and reporting this.
cfg.in/README should be explicit regarding
"automatic=method:cdrom" being usable for
flash media too (propagator has been fixed
since 20101130-alt10 or so, and gfxboot is
able to tweak the cmdline having figured
out it's running off the flash either).
It's by no means substitution for proper l10n feature
but forcing users into POSIX locale for recovery ops
is no good at all.
This is basically a fork of live feature's 20-locale,
a font has been changed to save some face though.
VMware specific bits went into use/install2/vmware target,
and all of those targets are worth their use/install2/vmguest
collective one instead of just sticking the kitchen sink into
use/install2/full immediately.
This feature intrinsically depends on predictable
ethernet interface names and makes no sense without
those; so it only seems reasonable to bring this
nice package in, huge thanks go to shaba@ of course.
