      QUICKSTART: mention ~/tmp · 71b5d539

      This has to be present with default RPM macros, otherwise:
      
        rpmdb: /home/altlinux/tmp: No such file or directory
        rpmdb: unable to create temporary backing file

      live: put rpcbind to local-only mode by default · 53f05f46
      Michael Shigorin authored
      We don't really want to disable NFS portmapper completely
      but having some extra root code listening to the world is
      really unneccessary unless explicitly required.
      
      Applying "control rpcbind local", thanks ldv@ for advice.

      live, net: shift and rework network and resolver setup · 5d829265
      Michael Shigorin authored
      50-setup-network was a hasty hack (surprise!) that used to do
      what net and net-eth features have been created to do since;
      just drop the duplicated crufty code.
      
      Unconditional resolver setup isn't done now: those with static
      setup are better off doing it explicitly, and those with DHCP
      should be fine already.
      
      NB: /etc/hosts *is* fine within setup package *but* hasher will
          overwrite it with a copy of host's one; let's reset contents
          to initial at least until hasher gets fixed and the fix is
          rather deployed in the wild.

      live: use/services instead of homemade script hook · 75bf4afc
      Michael Shigorin authored
      03-services was a hasty hack that has been long done properly
      elsewhere, namely in a specialized feature; finally got around
      to deduplicate it out.

      net-eth: drop duplicate config line · 7fafe134
      Michael Shigorin authored
      There was an extra DISABLED=no line written to interface configurarion
      that's been superceded by the subsequently added parametrized one;
      just drop it.
      
      Thanks glebfm@ for spotting the garbage.

      regular.mk: rescue should use branding · 5de5da1d
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Well actually it shouldn't -- except for rEFInd the boot manager:
      branding graphics within the build environment are used to add
      a single background image to EFI/refind/icons/ thus the change.
      
      Wonder how this got lost though as this screenshot:
      http://en.altlinux.org/File:Altlinux-rescue-uefi-memtest86.jpg
      clearly illustrates it was working back in December indeed!

      kernel, stage1: don't provide r8168.ko by default · 49b6291a
      Michael Shigorin authored
      It conflicts with r8169.ko inobviously.
      
      The whole mess looks like this:
      - r8169.ko doesn't work for all of Realtek 8111/8168/8169 mutations
      - r8168.ko works with some of the chips r8169.ko doesn't
      - r8168.ko also works with many chips r8169.ko works with
      - r8169.ko is provided by kernel-image package (thus default)
      - r8168.ko is provided by kernel-modules-r8168 package (optional)
      - kernel-modules-r8168 package requires r8168-blacklist package
      - r8168-blacklist package is a one-liner that blacklists r8169.ko
      - STAGE1_KMODULES wouldn't include r8168 (std-def) or rtl8168 (led-ws)
      - sub.in/stage1/modules would mention r8168.ko (m-p-d: r8169.ko)
      
      So a LiveCD built with use/kernel/net might work with RTL8111/8110
      just fine when booted live but fail to automatically load the module
      when installed onto hard drive; manual modprobe r8169 would work though.
      NB: some of the chips (those available to me) would work just fine
      both ways -- this has contributed to fixing this *that* late.
      
      Bottom line:
      
        do not install backup/kludge drivers overriding main ones by default!
      
      Thanks sem@ for providing the crucial hint.

      mkimage-profiles.asciidoc: tac the goals · 0fcb4915
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The goals listed are pretty important to have them ordered
      by priority; collaboration is definitely more important
      than dynamic range of release managers' experience.

      p/l/t/README: updates and tweaks · 2aece7c6
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Some more editing has been due over pkg.in/lists/tagged/README
      to make it more comprehensible and up-to-date; the problem with
      groups isn't actually that bad as alterator-pkg's groups concept
      is currently aligned with the requisite functionality provided by
      pkg.in/lists/* directly; the tagged pkglists come into play when
      we want to add "something like that" and don't really care about
      the fine details of a secondary thing trusting that it's actually
      comprised and working as advertized through its name tags.
      
      Compare to reusing the pre-existing image configuration or features
      versus reimplementing things in a rigid manner -- it's a flexibility
      vs predictability question, and both scenarios are supported within
      m-p explicitly.

      documentation: use paths relative to toplevel dir · 3f547e25
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This change is done to reduce ambiguity in some cases;
      the previous intention has been to ease navigation when
      staying in a particular directory, now it's been changed
      in favour of convenient toplevel `git grep' in fact.
      
      Both variants have their pros and cons, I just find myself
      leaning to this one by now hence the commit.  Feel free to
      provide constructive criticism :)
      
      Some path-related bitrot has also been fixed while at that.

      sub.in/README: mention rootfs · 1a25a705
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Its name might still change through 1.1.x series
      ("userfs"?) but things like this should be mentioned
      at least -- or superfluous references to neighbouring
      entities should be removed.

      rescue: disable rpcbind · b0d6476f
      Michael Shigorin authored
      It's required for NFS mounts but having a rescue image listening
      to any non-localhost ports is too bad an idea, IMNSHO.
      
      So let's fix this while spotted.

      t7.mk: initial release · 5cc11a66
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Well, some of the maintainers clearly prefer t7/branch
      to publish their works; at least GNUstep and TDE packages
      are updated there and might migrate to p7/branch later.
      
      No need to fight that, really.

      desktop+gnustep: app status update · 161f7ccd
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Split development packages into dev+gnustep pkglist -- these are
      worth including in "full" version but will need thorough testing
      so as to present the tools to those who value these.
      
      Some of user packages are problematic and shouldn't be included
      right now; the problems are mostly of these kinds:
      
      - app won't start (at all or effectively);
      - useless for being too alpha quality/incomplete;
      - menu file for a commandline app lacking any feedback;
      - package lacks the dependencies needed;
      - it's a LoginPanel ;-)
      
      Thanks a lot to upstream authors, real@ the packager
      and kostyalamer who prepared a lot of menufiles anyways!

      tar2fs: append to MODULES_PRELOAD, do not clobber · 9e162659
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Thanks glebfm@ for spotting that it's = instead of +=
      as it goes in all the other places; I remember no good
      reason to overwrite the potentially preexisting contents.
