This script hook used to lurk in live feature but was deemed needed
in cubox images too; thus it's time to move it into a standalone
feature (maybe a configurable one, even).
Thanks glebfm@ for initial shot and sem@ for discussion.
regular-xfce managed to lack NM somehow (so it even lacked
network after being installed since some build which wasn't
identified right away unfortunately); let's fix that either
during this small refactoring.
Some of those were long asking to be done but cubox project
managed to actually get them done at least to the extent
needed for it; so let's land those and prune things up a bit.
XFCE seems fine on that device while E17 has segfaulted on me so far
(specifically on Cubox and not on e.g. Nexus 7).
In a nutshell, cubox-xfce is an experiment into OEM-like flashware
while cubox-xfce-ru strives to become something more or less ready
for actual use.
lib/*.mk aren't going to be parsed for build targets
in the near future; and the early placement of those
targets was superseded by a dedicated configuration
snippet directory so just move these bits there.
Those based on x86 ones but pruned according to armh repo
presence; most notably, these are missing:
compiz compiz-gtk
java-1.6.0-sun mozilla-plugin-java-1.6.0-sun
libreoffice
remmina
xfcalendar
yagf
It was implemented in a pretty quick-and-dirty way
for regular-mate back then, clean things up a bit.
Package lists should be deduplicated either but
that's another story.
This has had several goals:
- a target suitable for x86 and armh providing a rather
minimal set of base xorg packages and generic drivers;
- task-oriented targets for graphics use cases:
+ "desktop" means rather 2D focus with 3D being welcome
or even essential but not performance critical, thus
"a slower driver is fine as long as it does work";
+ "3d" means specific 3D performance being critical,
that is "no 3D means no use at all".
Regarding the free and proprietary 3D-capable drivers:
the previous idea was to split out some common ground
and then add the contenders on top of that; the current
approach is based on the observation that the live images
requiring proprietary NVIDIA/AMD drivers *by default*
are usually of not much use with hardware that lacks
proper 3D acceleration (like Tseng cards) or the driver
support for that (like Matrox these days).
Intel videodriver makes for a special case though:
it is both free and top-notch performer.
Thanks sem@ and boyarsh@ for discussion.
PS: xorg-drv-{keyboard,mouse,void} dropped;
those who need these can usually help themselves.
These handle only VE-like products (think TWRP on Nexus 7);
the proper image support should be backported later on.
An experiment in layered configurations is still in its
early stages regarding ARM zoo...
The feature officially introduces the "engineering passwords"
including empty ones which have been around since forever but
weren't properly managed (and still are not, at least until
there are no stray passwd/chpasswd/usermod calls in both the
profile, installer-features and all the other related parts).
It is based on an m-p-d init3-users script by stanv@ but was
cleaned up and restructured in a pretty severe manner; thanks
glebfm@ for additional discussion.
This also cleans up the kludge previously stuck into build-vm.
Note that vm/icewm sports graphical autologin now as well as
the default root password (which can be overridden by passing
ROOTPW=... to make but it is a change from the previous state
of affairs indeed).
...and switch to cinnamon-regular metapackage in general:
the remaining blocker being gdm required by that and not
actually going to work (it used to start gnome-shell which
wouldn't work in that configuration either) is now fixed,
thanks cow@.
PS: plymouth is moved upstream, drop the dup.
This one is a part of a larger rewrite to move away from
distro-centric build-up to configuration-centric one with
the particular packaging being of secondary importance
compared to actual functionality.
The installed livecd would lack fstab entries for the filesystems
other than those mounted explicitly during partition step; while
this might be considered either bug or feature, let's try that
and see.
The regular images became a bit too fat and rescueish
with all the good stuff going into rescue+extra pkglist;
that stuff does belong to dedicated rescue images but not
to each and every one.
The base+rescue pkglist has been tailored to take this
into account so we can now make regular-*.iso more fit too.
It might benefit the existing users to be able to configure the
build node persistently across reboots; though the need for something
like NFS overlay or repo settings piggybacked over DHCP is still there
(just ask ildar@).
Thanks to Baurzhan Muftakhidinov's efforts along with help
from cas@ and zerg@, regular images should now support Kazakh
fairly well at least in terms of translation; this commit amends
these images with Ukrainian too and adds an experimental razorqt
based distribution that boots in kk_KZ by default.
There's no NetworkManager or connman in this lightweight image
so let's put at least the lightweight connection specific GUIs
like this one; proposed on the forum by Speccyfighter and
acked by squire as useful for traffic-metered plans:
http://forum.altlinux.org/index.php/topic,28619.msg201159.html#msg201159
A syslogd is required by interactivesystem and we definitely
don't want any extra systemd on a sysvinit image.
Thanks Speccyfighter on the forum for the observation.
A duplicate has formed while factoring out bare target;
as currently only the rescue image uses it in a special way
and that one benefits from additional crypto packages as well,
let's put LUKS related packages into bare for the time being.
The persistent storage is a nice addition to LiveCD images;
it doesn't come for free though in terms of performance
(especially for the first boot), so it should stay optional.
Note that use/live/rw belongs to base and not bare since
otherwise rescue becomes rescue+live which is superfluous;
hence the special use/rescue/rw.
