live-webkiosk doesn't really need it and mixin/desktop-installer
was picking it up due to d+n+l satisfying d+n query. This could
be fixed with && !live but fixing bitrot is the better way to go.
Actually the issue was worse in general: *_PACKAGES
weren't quoted when put into .base thus resulting
in a potentially broken echo command (silent one).
The macro scheme used was overgeneralized; stuffing
quoting differentiation into it was doable but ugly
(unless one is able to pass an unquoted quote sign
as a function's parameter in some elegant manner),
let's just make it straightforward.
distro/.regular-install depends on use/luks now too;
this isn't a hard decision but so far looks good
given the overall functionality range and balance
within regular builds.
I've been considering a way to avoid confusion between:
- a tde based livecd with systemd;
- a tde based livecd with sysvinit;
- a tde based installer with sysvinit
and finally came to conclusion that regular-sysv prefix
will be common for installers with sysvinit within regular.mk
and p7.mk; this might be not perfect but should be good enough.
Note that while regular-sysv-tde.iso is buildable and installs
just fine at the moment I don't plan to publish Sisyphus based
installer builds as a rule since these require extra knowledge
regarding daily use (starting with http://altlinux.org/changes
and/or https://lists.altlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/sisyphus ML
subscription).
Sisyphus-based rescue image is fine as well as LiveCDs are;
installable LiveCDs (most of regular-*.iso) are actually
risky in case user actually installs *and* updates those
having ignored the red "unstable" status in the branding,
and that's the line I'm not going to cross that often.
BASE_BOOTLOADER must have been set to any of the supported
bootloader names somewhere during configuration; it is not
impossible to avoid this elsewhere so let's put a guardian
script which will stop the build which is known to result
in a broken image.
sub/main subprofile should not be requested directly
as documented in its README but rather via use/repo/main;
let's fix this discrepancy and check that no regressions
come hurling down.
This image family doesn't inherit from distro/.installer
and thus could miss the bootloader setup with no problems
(at least until an installed system would attempt booting
without a bootloader).
The whole thing requires some more thinking over and probably
moving more bits to mixins but in the mean time let's make sure
the bootloader *is* configured.
distro/.regular-install is now factored out to be reused in
tde based installer (and potentially more images later on).
This implies sysvinit at the moment which might change too
but looks just fine right now.
What was added for networked desktop installers is now needed
for regular desktop installers as well; moved to a mixin.
These will probably get reshaked at some point.
It's amazing but I've managed to miss out this brilliant
Qt-based Jabber client; a small selection of plugins is
added as well, suggestions are welcome.
- speech-ru and speech-en features are added;
- speech-related things removed from homeros features;
- speech/ directory for package lists added and other corresponding changes.
Networking is *not* brought up by these rescue images
by default, one is expected to know enough to do that
by hand if needed; still there's no harm to have apt
preconfigured so that it would be operational then.
There are various bootloaders around there and some of them
are supported in ALT Linux; let's provide all the mainstream
ones so that knowledgeable root@ has every tool needed for
most situations needing bootloader repairs.
These might require particular knowledge or special boot mode
(like EFI ones).
Being able to handle [compressed] archives of all kinds
tends to be pretty instrumental in rescue operations,
and some backup system clients won't hurt either.
Some ancient Serial words like "minicom" still come handy
at times too.
Comments, constructive criticism and proposals are welcome.
This doesn't add much but complements the compression utilities.
Maybe it should be moved to rescue+archive, especially if more
tools of this kind get written and packaged.
This package list is somewhat non-trivial and controversial:
- bacula client support is a pretty tiny addition; it does require
extensive knowledge of what's being done and too new client version
can actually hurt (as the bacula director version must not be lower);
- duplicity was added due to lav@ seemingly using it (it's tiny either).
Suggestions are welcome.
It was the proposal to add fsarchiver that has started this;
the package was there in X11-bearing live-rescue.iso but appears
to be a console program thus moved to rescue+misc pkglist;
more than a few rescue-grade utilities have turned up during
a quick look at what else is missing.
shellinabox and dvdsaster have been "added" as candidates since
the former does require additional actions but can provide a nice
security hole if these are taken without extra consideration,
and the latter is just pretty large although might still be useful.
This neat little utility helps immendely to deal with
the eternal "where all of my mega/giga/tera/petabyte disk
space went so busy?"... wonder how it could evade m-p ;-)
I considered these two to be either close forks differing in init system
used (and things involved too much like NM at the moment), or to bring
some more choice along; this commit sticks with the former approach,
namely "let's only toggle the init system and let the rest be the same"
so that choosing the particular implementation can be based on this very
difference and not any other ones added along with it.
...so that locale is selectable at boot (unfortunately there's no
way to do that with text menu so far as cmdline is only changed
in its entirety there and generating it from the bits involved
is Not Implemented Yet as usual).
