Now that we don't ignore X-Alterator-PackageList
in pkggroup files these few places referencing
group names as list names have broke; bring 'em
in line through this new and shiny function.
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.
The issue actually hit image.in/Makefile: "metadata" target
in features.in/metadata/lib/50-metadata.mk wasn't reached
even if features.in/build-distro/lib/90-build-distro.mk
would ACK that the "whatever" actions included "metadata";
thus Metadata/pkg-groups.tar wasn't created and the installer
silently failed to install the .base system.
Let's armour the rest of the cases where the order of inclusion
might be important as well.
An initial draft of it was done half a year ago but several tricky
thingies had kept the code from showing up as it was rather brittle
and incomplete.
This implementation involves quite a few changes all over the place
but finally works good enough for live and installer images.
Please pay attention to the versions of these packages:
- installer-feature-setup-plymouth (0.3.2-alt1+)
- branding-altlinux-sisyphus (20110706-alt2+ if used)
- plymouth (0.8.3-alt20.git20110406+)

There were STAGE1_PACKAGES_REGEXP and MAIN_PACKAGES_REGEXP
but adding more of those was postponed to avoid bloat and
bitrot; THE_PACKAGES_REGEXP is needed for use/firmware now
and looks like BASE_PACKAGES_REGEXP and LIVE_PACKAGES_REGEXP
will be useful before too long either.
Docs updated to include stage-specific package related vatiables.
As too many things started duplicating between distros proper
and (e.g. corresponding) LiveCDs, it became apparent that a class
of entities which end up working for THE_USER (not a sysadmin,
and not a developer, just a Linux user) is in need.
So THE_KMODULES will power installed basesystem and live image,
while THE_PACKAGES, THE_LISTS and THE_GROUPS will participate
in building those.
It was clear that "common" isn't very apt for packages that
will get *everywhere*, and became apparent when the need for
a "base+live packages" variable arrived with powerbutton feature.
So:
- the former COMMON_PACKAGES are now SYSTEM_PACKAGES;
- COMMON_PACKAGES act as "BASE+LIVE_PACKAGES".
Note that SYSTEM_PACKAGES also got factored out from stage2 based
features into stage2 subprofile itself; cleanups were due as well.
MAIN_GROUPS should align better along with MAIN_PACKAGES
and MAIN_LISTS (even if MAIN_ prefix might be suboptimal
given that these packages are essentially extras within
the particular image).
In particular:
- .base is now generated from pieces (see image.in/Makefile)
- s/DISTROS/IMAGES/g; s/CONFIGS/DISTROS/g (for clarity)
- s/DISK_LISTS/MAIN_LISTS/g ("disk" was early m-p-d legacy)
- introduced BASE_PACKAGES to complement BASE_LISTS
- minor tweaks to Makefile (ARCH and DATE moved elsewhere)
- libdistro.mk: dropped overlooked IMAGE_INIT_LIST copy
- clean.mk: silly cleanup
- image.in/functions.mk: rework kpackage()
+ it takes two arguments explicitly now: this adds some noise
for "generic" invocations but is rather less messy with recently
introduced STAGE1_KFLAVOUR (which in its turn is rather cleaner
than messing with KFLAVOURS, especially since soemthing changed
in presumably apt and we can't rely on kernel packages being
installed in the order formed).
- BUILDDIR/DEBUG related fixes
+ Makefile: BUILDDIR initialization moved to distro.mk
- build.log += git info
Renamed server-light.iso into server-ovz.iso to avoid brand dilution
and confusion (rider@'s server-light rather favours kvm, anyways).
Introduced KDEFAULT: a reliable default kernel chooser knob
since apt's regex ordering proved pretty unreliable.
Spelling things explicitly is better anyways.
SYSLINUX related features undergone pretty major rewrite
(that includes syslinux, hdt and memtest).
The problem to tackle was features.in/syslinux/generate.mk
assuming syslinux and pciids available in build *host* system;
this well might not be the case (or worse yet, those can be
just different). So now we're a bit less elegant and a bit
more enterprise, stuffing things into chroot and working there.
Bunch of other fixes along the road, including ; to name a few:
- fixed memtest entry (overlooked while renaming SYSLINUX_ITEMS)
- new and shiny doc/CodingStyle
- gfxboot, stage1 target chain, hdt tweaks
- distro.mk rehashed
- README++
- TODO: dropped (integer overflow anyways)
+ actually moved off-tree to reduce commit spam
- s,\.config\.mk,distcfg.mk,g
- doc/profiles.mk.sample: sample ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk
- ...and assorted fixups/additions
Sorry for convoluted commit, this would have been pretty hard to
rework into some really readable shape (and you might be interested
in the original repo's history horrors then, anyways).
- drop hardwired kernel flavour from pkglists
- today's std-ng lacks aufs, let's switch to un-def
- second assault at KERNEL_PACKAGES_REGEXP
- re-introduced kpackages (builds ok)
PS: base lists: switch to grub, add udev, cleanup
A major change in approach largely thanks to discussions
with Alexey Cheusov but also well aligned with my own findings:
autoconf doesn't let the variables to form an inheritance.
And data flow described at http://www.altlinux.org/WhiteLabel
(which in its turn was born thanks to Gavin Henrick of Diva Telecom
and to Alexander Bokovoy of SaM-Solutions) is really dependent on
the existence of such an inheritance.
Also:
- distro.mk += try()
- "hide" special targets
- fixed wrt distro/.{base,init,metaconf}, thx gns@
- README updates
+ added metaconf.mk
+ clarifications
- updated pci.ids location for hdt
