GRUB won't present dualboot systems in boot menu otherwise.

We're better off providing NTFS support so that Windows partitions
can be shrunk at least if one's not going to just blow these away
upon encounter.

Its scope of desktop does cover basic multimedia.

Fixed line length for distro/kde4-lite target,
shouldn't wrap with good ol' 80x24 xterm.

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.

Added sysklogd and udev-rule-generator-net there too; if someone
needs to inherit a systemd based image from distro/.desktop-network
don't break the existing behaviour please.

Rebased tde flavours to .desktop-network as these were the actual
target to fix.

There's some peculiarity causing Sisyphus' initrd
(namely led-ws and make-initrd{,-propagator} of today
to die with this message while booting the resulting ISO:

  initrd: Running /scripts/pre/prepare/000-propagator
  FATAL ERROR IN INIT: mkdir

  I can't recover from this,please reboot manually and send bugreport.

...so that enp0s3 is just not there.

The rationale for the former is that the image gets slightly
more compact (although the current sisyphus build is way larger
than the t6/branch build of the optimization time, need to look
into that...); and for the latter it's to provide yet another
installer with a different enough kernel so that there's one more
chance in a weird situation.

Thanks Serg Markov for bringing my attention to this:

While the official distros might skip some filesystems for
support reasons there's no reason for community distros to
do so either.

Let's try that with icewm.iso...

NB: installer has a misfeature of dropping jfs/reiserfs
    support in runtime unless "expertmode" magic word
    is on the kernel bootargs string (#27763, #17368).

Some images were unbuildable (at least without special setup,
like ve/centos), unusable or just not useful in any meaningful way
(like distro/live-isomd5sum); as these tend to get any attention
during experiments, I decided to put them together in a separate
configuration file that would be effectively skipped if DEBUG
is not requested.

The very basic bitmap fonts that were left in back a year ago
aren't particularly modern (even if they are somewhat elegant
and resource sparing which was the goal at that time).

So let's allow for something slightly prettier,
like Croscore Arimo kindly prepared by Steve Matteson,
provided by Google, packaged by Fedora and imported by
Igor Vlasenko.

Here's the news item behind this commit:
http://lwn.net/Articles/502371/

An initial draft of it was done half a year ago but several tricky
thingies had kept the code from showing up as it was rather brittle
and incomplete.

This implementation involves quite a few changes all over the place
but finally works good enough for live and installer images.

Please pay attention to the versions of these packages:
- installer-feature-setup-plymouth (0.3.2-alt1+)
- branding-altlinux-sisyphus (20110706-alt2+ if used)
- plymouth (0.8.3-alt20.git20110406+)

The more or less basic desktop appeared to lack
base locale support (starting with glibc-locales).

Initial SPICE support has been added for kvm/libvirt installation
and boot-up using qxl and spice by default as proposed by shaba@.

VirtualBox part is shifted a level deeper correspondingly
but otherwise stays the same.

- 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.

Mostly multiline compactions, but also use/install2/net
got factored out from distro/server-ovz for future reuse.

As noted in doc/assumptions.txt, the SHELL based target tracing
only works for rules with recipes, even empty but present ones.

The simplest thing to do is hooking "; @:" onto the rule's tail
(one-liner with a non-printing shell builting "true" command).

It looks like the intermediate targets aren't all equal:
some define a finished feature while some create a common
lower level piece of configuration.

Let's do shortcuts for the former so that a distro line can be
more terse and descriptive; help targets in features.in/ tweaked
accordingly.

There are pseudo-distro targets that are useful to combine
the needed bits and pieces for a few more different end-user
images but that are useless themselves (e.g. desktop-base
wouldn't even start X session before someone would have
installed a window manager).

Let's just hide these under the hood so that `make help',
`make everything' and potential frontends don't bother.

A minimal live, tiny desktop system and a test LTSP installer;
all of these work.

ltsp-icewm used to be the only ALTSP (testbed) distro over here
but now its terminal server part works good enough to seperate
it from the UI part.

A few additions to facilitate testing, tweaking and benchmarking:
iftop, openssh-server, mplayer

There's still an annoying problem (a race?) manifesting itself
as installer bailing out between packages installation and lilo
setup with X segfault in logs; while the culprit is not known yet,
let's avoid that for most images by moving the bootloader request
from the former "leaf" target (which noe became a "node") into an
experimental server-systemd one.

Thanks Leo-sp50 for bringing that to my attention again; see also
http://forum.russ2.com/index.php?showtopic=3310&pid=31364&st=0&#entry31364

As was duly noted by Leo-sp50, both server.mk and desktop.mk
duplicate a few bits layered over bare distro/installer which
happened to be both a dependency (thus should reduce redundancy)
and a "real distro" target (well, it doesn't just work yet, need
to provide networking and sources.list in install2 by hand).

Fixed by moving a "node" to distro/.installer along with typical
additions and leaving a bare installer as is by now; there's a
need to get it working at least for DHCP/ftp.altlinux.org case.

That way it's at least marginally useful...

Sort of builds on current Sisyphus with ltsp-related packages
fixed up in a pocket but the latter are rather in need of some
proper face-lift.

It's burdensome for testing but at least the result
is somewhat useful then.

Let's prepare some moderately sane base for future desktop
installers, it's not only icewm around anymore.

We've got some parts of it in build-distro feature,
and some went to dev feature for no real reason.

But a bare installer might go without package base,
and LiveCDs other than live-builder might find local
repository useful given aufs2 root overlay.

Now the overall scheme is more straightforward:
- a distro:
  + asks that a package repo be included
  + cares to further add the packages to it
- a repo feature:
  + pulls in sub/main for it to happen
  + provides genbasedir script to create repo metadata
  + supplements live feature with repo configuration

Thanks shaba@ for both the package and a wiki page,
and dek@ for the inspiration to finally get to it.

This feature was handling powersave already, so the name
should be changed already.  Thanks sem@ for cpufreq-simple,
there's now a compelling reason for that rename.

Tweaked a few distro recipes accordingly.

This was asked for by Leo-sp50 and torabora, and seems quite reasonable:
let's provide means to keep at least some distribution configurations
a bit apart, so that these can be considered more standalone in terms
of hard warranted functionality but at the same time enjoying the common
infrastructure.

Considering lib/distro.mk: it's now experimentally pulled apart so that
parallel development of different distro families can go on without
major merge hassles.  *Please* don't abuse with massive copy-paste.

And before you ask: this might get extended to allow for "private"
out-of-tree configurations being included since apparently there
are goals with no meaning outside of some very particular context...
but otherwise I'd like to encourage getting reusable bits in-tree.
