      03-test-kernel: tweak squashfs compression · 178a700e
      Michael Shigorin authored
      A larger block size was recommended by led@;
      gns@ seems to concur as the 512k value was borrowed
      from liveflash.eeepc profile (along with -noI).
      
      The other issue is with binary specific compressors:
      x86 was clearly assumed while the data for an educated
      guess are pretty handy.  Please note that using filters
      incurs additional compression attempts for the utility
      to choose the best result.

      and wondered why waste a few megs of potentially
      precious space...

      fix toplevel arch/distro loops · 9304c12c
      Michael Shigorin authored
      There was a somewhat subtle Makefile->main.mk rename leftover
      lurking in "everything" target: the default Makefile got used,
      not the supposed main.mk -- which resulted in an attempt to
      get way too much job done (the number of builds per target
      became $ARCH squared, not just $ARCH).
      
      Huge thanks to led@ for being an inspiring pedantic!

      lib/ve.mk: introduced ve/bare · b95caa9b
      Michael Shigorin authored
      A minimal chroot supporting extension via apt-get;
      vitals if built on Sisyphus as of Jan 16, 2012:
      
        i586: 13M tar.xz, 58M chroot (33M w/o /usr/share/{doc,locale,man})
      x86_64: 14M tar.xz, 60M chroot (35M w/o /usr/share/{doc,locale,man})
      
      Trivial fixups (extra checks) added to two script hooks.

      bin/mktmpdir: check for filesystem mount options · 5a1065c3
      Michael Shigorin authored
      As was found out by Vladimir Karpinsky (thanks for patience!),
      the autochosen directory might still have too restrictive mount
      options -- nodev and/or noexec.  Hopefully the diags are a bit
      better and faster by now.

      check vigorously the autochosen path prefix either · 87bfa3f6
      Michael Shigorin authored
      It happens that if the host environment isn't particularly
      tuned up for package builds already then bin/mktmpdir might
      come up with a directory outside hasher-allowed prefix list;
      now that's a shame and not a Christmas gift, clearly.
      
      Thanks Vladimir Karpinsky for pointing this problem out too.

      check vigorously for installed mkimage · 0ec7d7cd
      Michael Shigorin authored
      It was briefly mentioned in QUICKSTART but somehow managed
      to evade the commandlines provided.  And while at it, let's
      make errors like this more explicit to avoid extra lookups.
      Oh, and fix QUICKSTART so that readers miss the hassle. :)

      The fallback case of building in a brother directory moved
      from the last line of code to the first one becoming more
      explicit along the way.
      
      Support for slash-containing argument (being a tmpdir name
      template prefix) has been added.

      main.mk introduced, lib/*.mk partially rewritten · 2f307fff
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The former toplevel Makefile is now toplevel main.mk;
      this change allows for multi-target, multi-arch processing
      in the current toplevel Makefile.
      
      As the "build" symlink semantics change quite considerably
      when one is doing bulk builds (several pruned builddirs might
      be useful for comparison), BUILDDIR is now much more likely
      to be recreated: the cases when it will persist are when it's
      either a single-image build or when the prefix hasn't changed.
      
      There are some more or less subtle bugfixes and enhancements
      all over the map as well.
      
      Done within 20111230..20120102 timeframe, actually...

      lib/{clean,profile}.mk: robustness improvements · 3d2f69f1
      Michael Shigorin authored
      First, let's not do rsync --delete on an unverified target dir
      again: the lesson was learned during a subway hacking session
      and I must say that SSDs are frightening fast (even if it was
      more than a second to realize what happens and terminate the
      extermination before it got /home, thanks xterm).
      
      Second, let's use a variable for common name and make's own
      realpath function instead of external binary.

      *_PACKAGES and *_LISTS shouldn't inflict copypasted blocks;
      we can iterate over these just fine.
      
      NB: dump-*, not dump_*, due to namespace pollution hurting
      debug target if done the latter way (in case someone misses
      the morning tea as wel).

      rescue: drop evms by default · 90d7a614
      Michael Shigorin authored
      As current devmapper doesn't allow for simultaneous
      mounts of virtually the same device by different names
      (signalled by "Device or resource busy" when trying to
      e.g. mount /dev/sda2 but with /dev/evms/sda2 being just
      fine), EVMS triggering such behaviour but rarely needed
      should be avoided altogether until a hook to disable it
      is in place.

      "if test ..." replaced by "if [ ... ]" · 180ed535
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Fixed up the remnants of the early style mix
      to correspond to the proposed doc/style.txt;
      the rationale being that
      
      	if [ ... ]; then
      		...
      		...
      	fi
      
      is the more readable construct among itself,
      
      	if test ...; then
      		...
      		...
      	fi
      
      and
      
      	[ ... ] && {
      		...
      		...
      	}
      
      due to the condition being more distinguishable
      when bracketed and the body more apparent as the
      one inside "if" and not any other block; the less
      obvious difference is that the final construct of
      the latter form is prone to the whole script exit
      status being non-zero if the condition isn't met.

      Michael Shigorin authored
      As too many things started duplicating between distros proper
      and (e.g. corresponding) LiveCDs, it became apparent that a class
      of entities which end up working for THE_USER (not a sysadmin,
      and not a developer, just a Linux user) is in need.
      
      So THE_KMODULES will power installed basesystem and live image,
      while THE_PACKAGES, THE_LISTS and THE_GROUPS will participate
      in building those.

      - parameter order fixed to "simple first, then those with args"
        and documented as the preferred one (might be debatable, okay)
      - added "lowmem" to live so it avoids a ramdisk but works off media
        (it's a knob for propagator)
      - added "fastboot" everywhere (but failsafe install) to make use
        of Linux 2.6.29+ async controller initialization
      - every snippet got a trailing newline so that isolinux.cfg is readable
      
      And a fancy makefile to check for shortcut dups!

      initial isohybrid support · 6fadf7e0
      Michael Shigorin authored
      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.
