As it happens regular-rc testing has shown that cinnamon,
gnome3 and kde4 flavours included NM via their pkglists
and dependencies (which used to result in live feature
enabling NetworkManager service wholesale when found);
now when handling default services has become more strict
it became apparent that these images have got their LiveCD
mode running without network by default (installation does
set that up though).
It looks like an easy way to just stick +nm into .regular-desktop
dependencies but then razorqt, sugar, xmonad would get NM which
is not what they're gonna handle; e17/e18 too.
This has to be present with default RPM macros, otherwise:
rpmdb: /home/altlinux/tmp: No such file or directory
rpmdb: unable to create temporary backing file

We don't really want to disable NFS portmapper completely
but having some extra root code listening to the world is
really unneccessary unless explicitly required.
Applying "control rpcbind local", thanks ldv@ for advice.
50-setup-network was a hasty hack (surprise!) that used to do
what net and net-eth features have been created to do since;
just drop the duplicated crufty code.
Unconditional resolver setup isn't done now: those with static
setup are better off doing it explicitly, and those with DHCP
should be fine already.
NB: /etc/hosts *is* fine within setup package *but* hasher will
overwrite it with a copy of host's one; let's reset contents
to initial at least until hasher gets fixed and the fix is
rather deployed in the wild.
There was an extra DISABLED=no line written to interface configurarion
that's been superceded by the subsequently added parametrized one;
just drop it.
Thanks glebfm@ for spotting the garbage.
Well actually it shouldn't -- except for rEFInd the boot manager:
branding graphics within the build environment are used to add
a single background image to EFI/refind/icons/ thus the change.
Wonder how this got lost though as this screenshot:
http://en.altlinux.org/File:Altlinux-rescue-uefi-memtest86.jpg
clearly illustrates it was working back in December indeed!
It conflicts with r8169.ko inobviously.
The whole mess looks like this:
- r8169.ko doesn't work for all of Realtek 8111/8168/8169 mutations
- r8168.ko works with some of the chips r8169.ko doesn't
- r8168.ko also works with many chips r8169.ko works with
- r8169.ko is provided by kernel-image package (thus default)
- r8168.ko is provided by kernel-modules-r8168 package (optional)
- kernel-modules-r8168 package requires r8168-blacklist package
- r8168-blacklist package is a one-liner that blacklists r8169.ko
- STAGE1_KMODULES wouldn't include r8168 (std-def) or rtl8168 (led-ws)
- sub.in/stage1/modules would mention r8168.ko (m-p-d: r8169.ko)
So a LiveCD built with use/kernel/net might work with RTL8111/8110
just fine when booted live but fail to automatically load the module
when installed onto hard drive; manual modprobe r8169 would work though.
NB: some of the chips (those available to me) would work just fine
both ways -- this has contributed to fixing this *that* late.
Bottom line:
do not install backup/kludge drivers overriding main ones by default!
Thanks sem@ for providing the crucial hint.
use/deflogin will result in ROOTPW being exported no matter
is it set or not; xport() can't check before exporting as it
relies on lazy evaluation when the actual ROOTPW value can be
set or modified after exporting GLOBAL_ROOTPW for mkimage.
So let's not even pretent we can differ unset ROOTPW from
empty ROOTPW: both result in empty GLOBAL_ROOTPW as of today.
Fixing this would require moving the exports into a separate
makefile being included after all the configuration and checking
each variable for being defined before exporting the corresponding
GLOBAL_ prefixed one.
Yes this might be a security fix in some cases.
TDE images are pretty modest regarding resource consumption
thus suitable for older hardware; a slower flash drive can
stall indefinitely showing slideshow and not going any further
with actual package installation so let's put a cap on that.
Added use/branding/slideshow/once as one of the uses
albeit the interface is universal; see this page for
more info: http://altlinux.org/branding/slideshow [ru]
The service and initscript have "connmand" name
while the package is called "connman" indeed.
Shame on me; this became apparent
while building regular-e18-sysv.
Defining a one-time variable is useless in this case,
and README should state the undefined ROOTPW status
explicitly (since it's now as advertized, heh).
The goals listed are pretty important to have them ordered
by priority; collaboration is definitely more important
than dynamic range of release managers' experience.
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.
Its name might still change through 1.1.x series
("userfs"?) but things like this should be mentioned
at least -- or superfluous references to neighbouring
entities should be removed.
It's required for NFS mounts but having a rescue image listening
to any non-localhost ports is too bad an idea, IMNSHO.
So let's fix this while spotted.
Well, some of the maintainers clearly prefer t7/branch
to publish their works; at least GNUstep and TDE packages
are updated there and might migrate to p7/branch later.
No need to fight that, really.
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!
Thanks glebfm@ for spotting that it's = instead of +=
as it goes in all the other places; I remember no good
reason to overwrite the potentially preexisting contents.
KVM and VirtualBox support packages are pretty tiny
but essential when these images get deployed within
virtual environments for any reason, let's add 'em.
It's been gfxboot-free but no user visible facility to select locale
has emerged through these years; it's been decided to put gfxboot
until some text chooser is available (thanks aen@ for discussion).
This is a minimalistic ALT-based system installer tailored
for those who know how to bring up networking and apt-get
the packages they actually need; thanks frbrgeorge@ for
proposing the specification as well as sem@ and glebfm@
for discussion.
No mc, no glibc-locales, even no man and interactivesystem!
Packages included: apt basesystem openssh vim-console
PS: Sisyphus-based regular build is not the main goal though
thus the p7/branch {bri,klu}dge.
This image is largely a rebase of server-ovz.iso onto regular-server;
it's not feasible to provide a single image that would install either
"mini" server or openvz/kvm one based on user choice during boot alas
(even if both ovz-el and std-def kernels are provided within "ovz" ISO
and vzctl&co could be stuffed into a package list/group).
Maybe this is fixed some day...
