fonts-ttf-droid have been superseded by fonts-ttf-google-droid-sans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.
This value is used to authenticate rescue rootfs image
by verifying the squashfs file's sha256sum before use
(propagator-20140419+).
Looks like this check might be useful for other stage2
images as well but let's get started with this one.
Thanks Maxim Suhanov <suhanov/group-ib.ru> for both
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Forensic_Live_CD_issues
and propagator patches.
Thanks Maxim Suhanov (suhanov <AT> group-ib.ru,
http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/User:.FUF)
for taking the time to review regular-rescue image.
Note that there are more than just filesystems:
arrays, logical volumes and swaps aren't activated either;
startup-rescue >= 0.18 should make that clear enough.
syslinux shortcut handling is case-insensitive,
let's find yet another letter...
A variant of rescue that marks the need to be careful
towards block devices and filesystems thus reducing
the amount of auto-activation done by startup-rescue
(0.17 or newer).
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.
It appears that live feature has been buggy regarding user
groups: its 30-users script would create a predefined account
with fixed supplementry groups list, and even if deflogin feature
got used too it would fail to add any groups to already existing
account since its useradd(8) call would fail.
Let's drop this duplication which has been long overdue anyways.
Thanks dd@ for both reporting the problem and carrying out
initial investigation.
There have been several problems with this feature:
- a typo;
- non-existant GROUPS (even a single one) would block setting
all of the supplementary groups but separately-set 'wheel';
- this feature isn't used much actually so sees no battle testing.
The typo has been just fixed; GROUPS are now applied by iteration
which is less effective but more reliable; an additional script
hook to write down login invitation for the first passwordless
account (if any) has been implemented; and several more group
managing targets have been added (based on live feature's script).
This relates to commit f2892ad3e4
as there's an obvious need to be able to set empty root password
for LiveCDs but previous implementation was very fragile (and is
going to stay that way) -- so clear and separate knob for making
an image defenseless looks better.
Whoops, the very first build of a real distro with gfxboot
has shown that the label isn't picked up there... and things
are actually worse: iso.needscheck gfxboot test seems to look
up "check=1" in sectors where it might have been landing back
then but it's just not there by now; some kludgery is due in
branding-altlinux-sisyphus unfortunately.
No use to hunt make or diff file-by-file.
Well this chroot should have been more lean
in the first place (or a few files in initrd)
but life is short so better use/baby/steps.
This one is quite different already and utility-based name
was pretty clumsy; meet the new feature and retire the old
experimental one.
Please note that quite aggressive cleanups are implemented
within this stage2-based subprofile for the simple reason
that it has a single task to do; nothing else is expected
to be configured into it for that matter.
This functionality asks to be further moved into initrd of course;
adding it there will take a few more decisions to be made, mostly
regarding user interaction in failure scenarios, and it looks like
mkimage will have to be patched in case this doesn't just go into
full.cz under some sort of conditional check.
It's not exactly obvious how install2_size, live_size or rescue_size
get defined since the variable names themselves get constructed;
help git grep these down.
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.
