It's been proposed to add an image writing tool to all of
the desktop regular builds (which is reasonable).
rosa-imagewriter depends on qt5 that's currently found in
lxqt, kde4 and kde5 flavours only so let's put it there.
imagewriter (the openSUSE's original one) goes to the rest of
DE builds: xdg-su would fallback to gksu if none of the desktops
got "detected", and that means several more megabytes of crap
(completely unneeded in WM-based images I think).
It's lacking in server starterkits for no good reason;
if there's another well supported MTA some day that's
challenging postfix as the default in any images,
just drop me a note/commit.
This is to avoid systemd components getting pulled in
during early dependency resolution stage for no good
reason (see also http://bugzilla.altlinux.org/30806);
should be fixed within mkimage so that hardwiring
both sysklogd and etcnet here gets unneccessary.
Enlightenment is a long enough word to trigger #28271;
E, on the other hand, is pretty slim to fit that space.
"Volume id: ALT Linux regular-enlightenment/" just isn't
pretty at all.
rider@ asked to move gnome3 to un-def kernel flavour,
and there's an unofficial policy for regular builds
that these carry reasonable diversity (in a good sense)
as in various kernels, inits, etc; that diversity would
drop a bit of both GNOME3 based flavours would end up
with the same kernel, so let's mv not cp.
The issue at hand is that:
/etc/tcb/USER/shadow gets USER:auth ownership (OK);
/etc/tcb/USER/shadow- backup file is root:root (broken);
/etc/tcb/USER/shadow.lock file is also root:root (broken).
This is observed for all pseudousers created by package installation
process within working chroots as well as for users created by deflogin
feature; the problem is that e.g. echo USER:PASS | chpasswd will break.
Looks like the cuplrit might be fakeroot/faked.
Samba 4.x in domain controller mode works with "samba"
service, not legacy smbd/nmbd/winbindd; all of those
must be stopped before running the newly-configured one:
http://altlinux.org/SambaDC
This has no users in master but out-of-tree branches might need
a trivial update.
The rationale is that it's actually for *any* stage2 and not related
to specifically "install" at all (otherwise it should have been moved
to install2 feature altogether).
Note that there's no reason to add nfs-utils similarly as make-initrd
requires kinit-utils which includes its own nfsmount.
All regular images (except for jeos) should be able to work with
or install via NFS, and nfs-utils dependency is finally being
removed from the package carrying mount(8):
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/31498
Some people might end up with setup that leads bin/mktmpdir
to accept e.g. tmpfs on /tmp but that's not enough to build
a larger image (e.g. 2 Gb RAM); let's quickly hint that it's
not the only way to go :-)
Done due to Balbes' (quite reasonable) suggestion
to do so for all of the installable regular builds
as changing disk partition layout is better made
with the proper tool.
Drop qtparted from lxqt pkglist as it's broken :(

samba-DC-4.3.1-alt1 package set introduced task-samba-dc metapackage,
let's use that one while still carrying around what's missing there
and got collected here.
It's a GTK utility, in contrast to the rest of LXQt;
and looks like it's not that needed anymore with
better native display setup (if anyone does prefer
arandr in this particular image, drop me a note).
lxqt-lightdm-greeter is finally *really* deprecated,
LXQt's build system has changed enough to warrant its
FTBFS without the same changes.
Note that this won't cut it for p7 starterkits anymore.
This one adds a "classic" GNOME2-like session;
one needs to select it by hand though, and gdm
won't bother them with a selector "gear" widget
unless there's a password set for the user.
Thus no autologin without explicit session
specification seems possible so far.
Note that there's no way to have gdm without
gnome-shell currently.
The "best" "feature" of systemd "init system" has just
emerged once again: it will happily sit there idling
given startup or shutdown loops resulting in what looks
like a hang to an unsuspecting user; let's provide the
suspecting one with at least some tools described at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging
use/browser/firefox/esr was not enough to actually select firefox-esr
as the FX_FLAVOUR handler was simply not getting included (see also
the preceding commit); specify it explicitly.
The future mod might be introducing some "live" flag for that feature
to use it instead of adding livecd-webkiosk-* packages by hand...
The issue with this was that plain use/browser/firefox/esr
didn't actually pull in the feature as such; it MUST NOT
pull in use/browser/firefox since it will change semantics
from "if it's Firefox make it ESR" to outright "use FX ESR"
(starterkits depend on the former and it was intentional).
