Name: mkimage-profiles Version: 0.5.1 Release: alt1 Summary: ALT Linux based distribution metaprofile License: GPLv2+ Group: Development/Other Url: http://www.altlinux.org/Mkimage/Profiles/m-p Source: %name-%version.tar Packager: Michael Shigorin BuildArch: noarch Requires: rsync git-core Requires: time schedutils Requires: mkimage >= 0.2.0 %define mpdir %_datadir/%name %add_findreq_skiplist %mpdir/*.in/* %description mkimage-profiles is a collection of bits and pieces useful for distributions construction: it contains package lists, features, and whole subprofiles (like "rescue" building block) for you to choose from, and some ready-made image recipes as well. Make no mistake: constructing distributions isn't just fun, it takes a lot of passion and knowledge to produce a non-trivial one. So m-p (the short nick for mkimage-profiles) is complex too. If you need -- or want -- to make just a few tweaks to an existing recipe, it might be easier to comprehend the generated profile (aka builddir) which contains only the needed subprofiles, script hooks and package lists and is way more compact. Virtual environment template caches (OpenVZ/LXC) can be made either. In short, setup hasher (http://en.altlinux.org/hasher) and here we go: cd %mpdir head README make distro/syslinux.iso But if you're into regular distro hacking and are not afraid of make and modest metaprogramming (some code generation and introspection), welcome to the metaprofile itself; read the docs and get the git: %url %prep %setup %build %install mkdir -p %buildroot%mpdir cp -a * %buildroot%mpdir %files %mpdir/ %doc doc/ %doc README QUICKSTART %changelog * Fri Dec 02 2011 Michael Shigorin 0.5.1-alt1 - generic VE archive type (added cpio and xz either) - minor additions/fixes * Mon Nov 21 2011 Michael Shigorin 0.5.0-alt1 - add_feature for autoregistration (simple but invasive) - added features: isomd5sum, repo, systemd - changed features: powerbutton -> power * Tue Nov 08 2011 Michael Shigorin 0.4.3.2-alt1 - mkimage version required/checked * Mon Nov 07 2011 Michael Shigorin 0.4.3.1-alt1 - CLEAN by default unless DEBUG * Mon Nov 07 2011 Michael Shigorin 0.4.3-alt2 - include %mpdir/ itself as well * Mon Nov 07 2011 Michael Shigorin 0.4.3-alt1 - enhancements to logging - NICE variable: employ nice(1) and ionice(1) if available - features.in/syslinux: banner tweaked to include target name - features.in/live: set up unicode locale/consolefont * Wed Nov 02 2011 Michael Shigorin 0.4.2-alt1 - initial package
