It is customary to set a variable without the GLOBAL_ prefix. It
is added to the name when exporting.
I made by analogy use/cleanup/live-no-cleanup-docs.
Since both targets have long names and are needed together,
i made use/live/no-cleanup.
Use target use/live/no-cleanup should be used instead of:
@$(call set, GLOBAL_LIVE_NO_CLEANUPDB, yes)
This is a controversial feature right from the start,
but keeping jeos alive on non-x86 (that is, catching
every case when a removed removed package would bring
something critical along with it) is somewhat harder
so just skip this part there for now.
Commit 514652f has broke GLOBAL_CLEANUP_PACKAGES by accidentally
excluding it from export (in favour of GLOBAL_CLEANUP_BASE_PACKAGES
that's been added then); fix that.
This script was completely careless regarding the chance
to meet an empty variable resulting in plain "rpm -qa"
and subsequent attempt to, well, remove *all* packages.
Thanks zerg@ for being persistent this time, even if
he could probably find the culprit and send in this patch.
:)
The problem at hand was that an installer component
of a "DVD class" image does use/cleanup/installer
while installable LiveCD component gets broken by that
(livecd-install -> installer-scripts-remount-stage2
which gets removed as installer-*).
Split those.
This is based on distro/regular-jeos but torn into two
and somewhat updated for sisyphus-going-to-bring-p8:
1) libcap-ng is now required by util-linux;
2) bridge-utils might be needed for subsequent images.
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.
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).
mkimage implementation requires that the variables
to be passed to the scripts are to be prefixed with
GLOBAL_ or INFO_ tags as appropriate; in this case
the upstream makefile didn't care to.
A virtual machine isn't very useful if there are no means
to access it; let's bring up the basic networking and provide
root SSH access via pre-existing public key.
As the remote access with known default credentials is roughly
equivalent to just lending one's VMs to anyone with network
access to it, the fallback root password is now exterminated;
you have to provide one (or a long enough random string
if you plan to use keys only, see e.g. apg utility).
It appears that reusing installer-feature-*-stage3 packages
is perfectly fine with VM images; these just need to be removed
after the package scripts they carry have worked out.
There's much reason for reuse instead of duplication
among the different stage2-based subprofiles.
In particular, the rather monolithic driver cleanup script
of the ancient is better done in several clear pieces with
the final depmod run.
Scripts dropping apt/rpm databases will dump pkglist first.
A script purging /boot/* will honour live-install if present.
Minor inno^Wfixups all over the map too.
The features might get copy-pasted (or even copied-and-pruned)
when initialized; there's an unneccessary duplication of the
function name in the line adding it to FEATURES list, thus
prone to being forgotten and causing some havoc later on.
It was wrong in the first place but tackling this with some
double-colon rules ran into terminality issues, and further
tortures were considered unneccessary.
The current solution isn't perfect (no completely transparent
function name registration upon corresponding target being called)
but at least it is an improvement...
It appears that features.in/Makefile functioned a bit
differently by now than was described back then: after
loops and pushds got rearranged for robustness, it stopped
to pick up a cleanup feature tagged script.
That particular script is now better de-tagged and simply
placed as a script to be merged into install2 subprofile.
The tagged scripts still require a bit more comprehension
to understand the use cases (e.g., do we need per-subprofile
tagged script subdirs or just a toplevel one should be looked
at, with script names telling where to put them).
README used to mix up subprofiles and features; fixed.
install2 cleanups:
- functionally indifferent ones: particularly, install2/*/98system's
"mkdir -p /image" was superfluous as it was done by that time already
by sub.in/stage2/image-scripts.d/00stage1
- taken apart, prepared for tags: so far it's a mostly moot change
since the installer cleanup scripts themselves are mostly the same as
preceding 90cleanup was (with some additions corresponding to recent
kernel development); it's still unclear what the mechanism for
configuring the cleanups in effect will be, either directory/package
regex lists or tagged scripts excluded from execution by yet another tag
fixes:
- image.in/Makefile: fix metadata related test; the actual test was
assuming that stage1 kernel means installer, which is not the case
since generic stage2 introduction; oh well
- 85cleanup-lowmem: a "_" too much was the culprit in destroying the
needed translations along with those deemed superfluous; thanks go to
Oleg Ivanov and Lenar Shakirov for finding the bug and proposing the
fix altogether
additions:
- features.in/Makefile: reworked help target; it was rather inaccessible
due to BUILDDIR normally undefined at the time of direct make
invocation, and BUILDDIR is normally defined during normal builds
anyways so let's try it this way.
- README++
daydreams:
- 01-genbasedir: we should drop bzip2 compressed pkglists some day
but see genbasedir and apt-cdrom first, 90-pkg.sh (alterator-pkg)
will fail miserably otherwise
This is a sort of anti-feature which removes and not builds;
still with mkimage-profiles' approach we can at least build
up the removal procedures as well.
It's what triggered the tagged scripts, BTW.
