ddf0c5b7c7 full-view docs update
- 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- dropped features.in/00example/README.en: it's already out-of-date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}

d5a5941f96 official {distro,ve}/* support
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)

720a579690 wash, rinse, repeat
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

774169c6cd COMMON_PACKAGES and SYSTEM_PACKAGES
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.

f5a8b89381 stage2 based live subprofiles, updated docs
- 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

3f012958dc server-ovz; KDEFAULT; syslinux features reworked
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).

d93989a3ff initial logging subsystem
Now we don't dump all the gory details onto thee
but rather log them handsomely and present only
the most important details by default; use DEBUG=1
and/or BUILDLOG=/path/to/file to tweak.

Also introduced IMAGEDIR and IMAGENAME.

The rest:
- ovz-smp is no more
- base-l10n pkglist (suggested by Alexander Kuprin)
- clean.mk:
  + fixed an oversight: the test result erroneously applied
    only to the first command of several ones that should be
    run iff build/ is a symlink
  + drop implicit rules (it's no C code)
- Makefile: more reasonable iso names
- image.in/Makefile: .disk/date too

d77e1d8dc8 drop autoconf, a few vars in .mk suffice
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
