- incompatible change (to fix the rather broken early style):
use/syslinux/ui-% is now use/syslinux/ui/%;
- default timeout changed to 9 seconds (long enough and keeps
the countdown in a single figure);
- added totaltimeout of 300 seconds;
- provided live kiosk images with almost-instant boot by default;
...and some other assorted tweaks here and there, sorry.
The purpose is being able to examine particular target interdependency
graph for a given image having been configured to avoid convoluted
dependencies (loops in particular).
The implementation is based on SHELL hook hint by John Graham-Cumming:

From what I've read so far, most of the code should run on 3.80;
there seem to have been some bits that are dependent on 3.81
features, but there is not a bit that depends on 3.82+ features
so far.
From now on, non-empty SAVE_PROFILE variable will indicate
the need to carry the particular generated profile inside
the image built from it.
Thanks gns@ for this feature in liveflash.eeepc.
doc/variables.txt was missing the already-existing BUILDLOG
variable description, and ARCHES got added during multi-target
toplevel rewrite. Other minor fixes come as appropriate.
Here we go with postprocessing priorities along the way
as ISO hybridization has to occur before implanting
final MD5 sum (which must happen earlier than e.g. some
external MD5SUM file generation).
Unfortunately proper dependencies aren't applicable here
(though I'd like to be proved wrong on this one).
Please note that this needs propagator > 20101130-alt9
for automatic mode to work (has also been worked around
in gfxboot case with design-bootloader-source-6.0-alt1).
Thanks rom_as@ for asking about the hybrid image status
and helping out with testing.
The idea is to check:
- the reachability of every target
used to build the image in question;
- the availability of all the package lists
and subsequently packages for that image;
- the lack of "dangling" intermediate targets,
features, pkglists, hooks etc.
So far only the first step is implemented --
it's easy and somewhat helpful already for
make CHECK=1 all
CLEAN is so useful and fiddling with .work chroots does
demand knowledge (hsh-shell is handy btw); so unless we
really get our hands dirty, let's spare ours preciouss
tmpfss.
- toplevel README received some long-needed refactoring
+ lowlevel detail moved, well, to lowlevel READMEs
- reflected more thoroughly that m-p is not about distros anymore
- dropped features.in/00example/README.en: it's already out-of-date
a bit, and there's no perceived need in thorough English docs so far
- wiki article got split into parts and somewhat rewritten, links updated
- mv doc/{CodingStyle,style.txt}
This one regulates the build wrapper: if the value is non-empty
then nice(1) and ionice(1) will be attempted so that the build
behaves better in regard to other tasks running on the system.
A few doc/variables.txt updates along the way.
Unfortunately apt configuration is not straightforward at all
regarding being overridden: one can't just provide sources.list
but needs a corresponding apt.conf along with it, and that apt.conf
must disable the SysV-style snippet directories to avoid interesting
side effects of all the things getting overlaid.
So it's not surprising that torabora has asked for an example...
(thanks go to boyarsh@ since I asked him for an example long ago)
Implemented opportunistic alarm support as proposed by torabora;
the actual result depends on readline and/or terminal settings
(read up on "visual bell" vs "audible bell" in case it's wrong).
TODO: this ought to be shifted downstream when proper logging
framework is there.
This is quite a large-scale change since mkimage-profiles got used to
baking distributions over the last year, and virtual environments are
quite different, so e.g. image.in/Makefile had to be split in two with
the main part of it moved into features.in/iso/lib/.
Short overview:
- features.in/Makefile: lib/ support
(supporting VE images requires dynamic modifications
to image.in/Makefile before starting the build;
the most natural way to achieve that seems to use
features mechanism along with makefile include dir)
- packaging format related part moved into features.in/pack
(should be better prepared for diversity either)
- features.in/iso renamed to features.in/build-distro
- features.in/ve renamed to features.in/build-ve
+ NB: these could not be merged as e.g. features.in/build
due to completely different script hooks
- lib/image.mk renamed to lib/build.mk
- image, config, log postprocessing moved downstream
- added a sort of a topping in the form of lib/sugar.mk
- assorted style fixups (like ifeq usage)
- clean.mk: reliability fix (the problem was observed by Oleg Ivanov
and me too but finally it did get the attention quantum)
- reviewed, updated and extended docs
+ QUICKSTART: should be[come] a step-by-step guide
(thanks Leo-sp50 for prodiving feedback)
install2 cleanups:
- functionally indifferent ones: particularly, install2/*/98system's
"mkdir -p /image" was superfluous as it was done by that time already
by sub.in/stage2/image-scripts.d/00stage1
- taken apart, prepared for tags: so far it's a mostly moot change
since the installer cleanup scripts themselves are mostly the same as
preceding 90cleanup was (with some additions corresponding to recent
kernel development); it's still unclear what the mechanism for
configuring the cleanups in effect will be, either directory/package
regex lists or tagged scripts excluded from execution by yet another tag
fixes:
- image.in/Makefile: fix metadata related test; the actual test was
assuming that stage1 kernel means installer, which is not the case
since generic stage2 introduction; oh well
- 85cleanup-lowmem: a "_" too much was the culprit in destroying the
needed translations along with those deemed superfluous; thanks go to
Oleg Ivanov and Lenar Shakirov for finding the bug and proposing the
fix altogether
additions:
- features.in/Makefile: reworked help target; it was rather inaccessible
due to BUILDDIR normally undefined at the time of direct make
invocation, and BUILDDIR is normally defined during normal builds
anyways so let's try it this way.
- README++
daydreams:
- 01-genbasedir: we should drop bzip2 compressed pkglists some day
but see genbasedir and apt-cdrom first, 90-pkg.sh (alterator-pkg)
will fail miserably otherwise
Rather minor fixups for things changed in the meanwhile and not
yet (re)documented properly; and a change for memtest feature
to require syslinux feature (the code's been changed to fit
the updated description, actually, and the change is purely
formal as no syslinux alternative is being used/planned so far).
distcfg.mk is nice for tracing the variable values' build-up,
but it's more useful to have a look at the final result sometimes.
So here it is, logged for each build and callable by hand.
- introduced generic stage2 subprofile (non-standalone)
- ported installer and rescue over to stage2/{install2,rescue}
- initial stage2/live (needs more work for sure)
- use make-initrd-propagator
- updated and somewhat extended doc/
NB: mind #26133, #26134
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).
