These mostly come from m-p-d but have been heavily reworked
for the new workstation distro, here's a list of the
typical changes:

- changed X-Alterator-Parent from centaurus-desktop
  to a more fine-grained toplevel entry;
- tweaked Categories for the desktop file (e.g. pidgin);
- packages added or removed (like sane to scanning);
- adapted for m-p's biarch support scheme (see emulators);
- renamed more appropriately (for example, 3d -> blender);
- improved descriptions (e.g. by adding specific product
  names to groups referencing single-package lists).

Several ones were done from scratch.

NB: lists/groups have been moved into workstation/
    and intersynced accordingly.

It wasn't clear enough what the whole tracing affair is for;
thanks ykos@ for spelling it aloud.

A few packages are still missing in p8 metapackage deps,
let's add these here instead of having to install by hand
every single deployment.

- starterkits-20160612

pve-* packages have just hit p8/branch as well.

This one includes shrek@'s work on proxmox packages
ported to ALT Linux (pve-*) and might be incomplete yet.

...to deal with zero ALSA mixer levels out-of-box.

...instead of bare deadbeef which can't play anything, basically.

This has been spotted by rider@ and reproduced by me as well:
some touchpads would work in livecd/installed system but not
within the installer itself.

...for gparted to use for data recovery attempts.

Commit 514652f8 has broke GLOBAL_CLEANUP_PACKAGES by accidentally
excluding it from export (in favour of GLOBAL_CLEANUP_BASE_PACKAGES
that's been added then); fix that.

eMMC installation support has a few bugs:

https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/30239
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/30269
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/32171

Handle the latest one.

It's in base+regular by now.

All MAIN_GROUPS users which refer to the groups/lists
renamed have to adapt; sorry for an incompatible change
(still it's 1.1.x).

Make it prefix not suffix so that sorting order
in alterator-pkg is natural instead of chaotic
during installation; turn some implicit "tools"
into explicit ones for consistency either.

- server-openstack

shaba@ says that compute node role should conflict
with the rest of the roles; OK.

Unlike back in Dec 2015, we do have p8/branch now.

This has been basically asked for in this forum thread:
http://forum.altlinux.org/index.php?topic=36122

Thanks shaba@ and pauli@ for advice and testing.

This one is intermediate for openstack server too.

This one is a point halfway through use/server/mini
for an openstack server image; made the server-base
pkglist selection more explicit while at that.

This list has been borrowed from m-p-d's use.mk.in either
and adapted accordingly.

These have been imported from m-p-d, thanks boyarsh@:

http://git.altlinux.org/people/boyarsh/packages/?p=mkimage-profiles-desktop.git;a=commitdiff;h=ee6f940f6b543cd03e43dbabe66332654cd6f896

...and reworked a bit:
* tree -> flat for representation;
* flat -> tree for implementation.

Another zerg@'s surprise was the change with amarok,
k3b and ktorrent packages in sisyphus/p8: these have
been changed to use kde4libs/kf5 and KDE3-related
packages have now been renamed to kde3-*.

Handling this without metapackages is more tricky
so do just that.

This script was completely careless regarding the chance
to meet an empty variable resulting in plain "rpm -qa"
and subsequent attempt to, well, remove *all* packages.

Thanks zerg@ for being persistent this time, even if
he could probably find the culprit and send in this patch.
:)

- nvidia/nouveau rehash
- overlayfs support (lakostis@)

The problem at hand was that use/x11/xorg has been final,
and zerg@ just couldn't switch from nouveau to nvidia
when kdesktop needs that one.

Initial approach included a "big" FREE/PROP switch that
chose the particular KMODULES/PACKAGES to get added to
THE_* but that fails to achieve e.g. nvidia+radeon combo;
looks like these need individual switches.

Current lxsession would offer to lock screen but will silently
fail within default regular-lxde.iso environment (that does lack
any kind of X screen lock utility); add some.

This is a nice utility clamping default power strain
*and* heat generation on intel-based PCs; I was actually
surprised to see it available but not firing off at system
startup time; fix that.

stage2 only allows to run certain scripts and install packages, but
sometimes one need just to copy something to stage2 (like stage1 does).

How to use:

put files under ./files directory with the same structure as on
resulting image.

If aufs not available/broken we could try to use overlayfs.
NB: changes below doesn't work without modified make-initrd-propagator!

See also https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/32040
(there's no P:/O: in the new one so the update
must be done in sync here)

The use case at hand was: "we'd better backup this system
to a flashdrive before installing" (given quad-core CPU
and half-terabyte HDD); pxz is pretty tiny, no worries.

Looks like `alsactl init' needs this now:

http://forum.altlinux.org/index.php?topic=36177.msg285840#msg285840
http://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32065

The problem is the same as the recent one with server:
FBDEV won't work for no good reason :-/
