      conf.d/desktop.mk: split out distro/desktop-mini · 41a0b630
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Let's prepare some moderately sane base for future desktop
      installers, it's not only icewm around anymore.

      initial razorqt desktop support · f0414f82
      Michael Shigorin authored
      As 0.4.0 just came out and seems to be quite interesting,
      why not add it to the collection? :)
      
      Package base advice is welcome, of course.

      stop abusing use/live/* · c5e559b7
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Some parts of *image* configuration started slipping down
      into the *feature* configuration, and that was wrong; fixed.
      
      Also introduced proper use/live/x11 (via use/x11/xorg with added
      wacom support for the sake of #26723/#26724) and rebased the
      pre-existing descendants onto it.

      introduced THE_{KMODULES,PACKAGES,LISTS,GROUPS} · d6972a39
      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.

      syslinux: *.cfg tweaks · dbed41bf
      Michael Shigorin authored
      - 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!

      live-rescue: use rescue+fs (but drop ntfsprogs) · 1d07b8f1
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Some more filesystem related utilities inspired by PLD rescue
      are due indeed; but ntfsprogs are obsoleted by ntfs-3g, in fact.
      
      iotop and iperf were suggested by stalker@.

      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.

      build-distro.mk, pkg.in/lists/Makefile: fixups · c400ba59
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Actually there's an added duplication in the form of the
      test that was previously missing in pkg.in/lists/Makefile
      -- that has to be done properly when it's clear how.
      
      This fully omits pkg/lists/.base generation in environments
      that won't make use of it.

      features.in/Makefile: cosmetic rewrite · ed0842b7
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The outmost shell loop got replaced with a (hidden) bunch
      of targets -- it's somewhat controversial as the inner loops
      are still there (but at least don't wrap around my SXGA+).
      
      Full targetization might be beneficial in terms of parallelism
      achievable *but* that would ruin git history being generated,
      and building a distro configuration takes a few seconds at most.

      lib/build.mk: add basic CHECK support · 390f4f6b
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The idea is to check:
      - the reachability of every target
        used to build the image in question;
      - the availability of all the package lists
        and subsequently packages for that image;
      - the lack of "dangling" intermediate targets,
        features, pkglists, hooks etc.
      
      So far only the first step is implemented --
      it's easy and somewhat helpful already for
        make CHECK=1 all

      pkgdups.sh and semi-random tagged pkglists shuffle · 8790a90c
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The bin/pkgdups.sh script comes from m-p-d in considerably optimized
      form and is to be used with the pkglist files of interest passed
      as its arguments to produce a "hall of duplicates" among those.
      
      The tagged lists received some updates along the rescue image lines,
      most of those are actually inspired by http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/
      and to lesser extent a few articles on rescue/recovery/forensics
      software -- so some newcomers are even employed already.

      live tweaks for x11 rescue · e9fea016
      Michael Shigorin authored
      New stuff:
      * distro/live-icewm -- basic icewm livecd with autologin;
      * distro/live-rescue -- yet another gparted^Wrescue CD.
      
      A better part of base+rescue tagged pkglist split off into
      extra+rescue where the content belongs.
      
      Thanks ruslandh@ for proposing to do a graphical rescue with some
      particular tools (albeit qt4-fsarchiver clearly needs more work).

      conf/live.mk: minor refactoring · 3d982dab
      Michael Shigorin authored
      distro/live-builder target used to employ a few duplicated
      packages that might make it to a list but as the list would
      have only a single user so far these were moved to a target-
      specific variable (hm, weird but "private" modifier broke).

      added support for cpio and xz · 7e78670e
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Actually this is the proper rewrite that was looming ever since
      tgz support was introduced: there are multiple archive formats
      supported by mkimage, and there are multiple compression methods
      available as well.
      
      So the bullet got bitten yet again along with the "goal parser"
      which should be more straightforward by now.
      
      Thanks dkr@ and mithraen@ for the inspiration of this evening.

      lib/distro.mk: don't do localboot by default · 7e219c14
      Michael Shigorin authored
      distro/.base target used to pull in localboot syslinux config
      snippet which might be too early for some of the further distros;
      it's a quite fragile equilibrium which was shifted a bit by imz@
      (see #26606).  Feel free to reopen the discussion though, things
      might be tweaked so that localboot might be desirable on almost
      every image even if with lower priority...

      introduced live-install support · 3d78fd75
      Michael Shigorin authored
      It was actually trivial given that the script was already
      maintained as a package by enp@ and msp@; its usage requires
      one to manually partition the target disk and optionally
      mkswap in advance.

      Makefile: presume a distro by default · 10b9e293
      Michael Shigorin authored
      When ve/ support was introduced, a simple "make icewm.iso"
      had to turn into the more elaborate "make distro/icewm.iso".
      This latter one involves several keystrokes more, which is
      not even (environ)mentally friendly.
      
      This was supposed to get fixed somewhere down the road with
      a fallback but the elegance of IMAGE_* setup waterfall barred
      me from tweaking IMAGE_TARGET at once (and the downstream fixup
      would imply re-tweaking the consequent variables as well which
      is blatantly anti-mkimage-profilic being a brute fork).
      
      OTOH testing for a "directory" part of the goal is going to
      either deadlock on IMAGE_CLASS or duplicate its assignment.
      
      So now when I've had enough typing an extra "distro/",
      I'm going to just bite the bullet and tweak IMAGE_TARGET
      with a test duplicating IMAGE_CLASS assignment indeed
      (testing for e.g. "/" results in a different test,
      which would be worse yet).
      
      Please suggest a more elegant solution if you invent one!

      lib/build.mk: different colours for different outcomes · b52ff4ef
      Michael Shigorin authored
      As was (quite reasonably) asked by someone and me too,
      why should a successful build yield a *red* line
      (a grep's default)?
      
      So now it's new and improved, 25% free and so forth:
      with a successful build you get a green line, while
      errors from a broke one result in red ones.
      
      Clinically tested in both b/w and w/b colour schemes;
      in case you're not satisfied, please return original
      ANSI_OK and ANSI_FAIL values to the colour dealer
      and pass your favourite ones instead.

      experimental server-ovz-netinst image · ad687508
      Michael Shigorin authored
      It's now possible to:
      - make distro/server-ovz.iso;
      - make distro/server-ovz-netinst.iso;
      - publish the former image's contents on ftp.linux.kiev.ua;
      - boot the latter (~17M) image and enjoy the netinstall ;-)
      
      The catch is that the stage2 (altinst file) location has to be
      hardwired into syslinux config snippet for things to happen
      automatically -- even if it can be specified manually in case
      of failure.
      
      The other catch is that currently a netinstall image is somewhat
      tied to the particular image it installs since stage1 kernel and
      stage2 modules must correspond strictly (the typical symptoms of
      the glitch would be missing mouse driver and weird "permission
      denied" errors during an attempt to partition the hard drives).
      
      It might be desirable to provide multi-distro netinstall image...

      introduced add_feature function · 9cedefdb
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The features might get copy-pasted (or even copied-and-pruned)
      when initialized; there's an unneccessary duplication of the
      function name in the line adding it to FEATURES list, thus
      prone to being forgotten and causing some havoc later on.
      
      It was wrong in the first place but tackling this with some
      double-colon rules ran into terminality issues, and further
      tortures were considered unneccessary.
      
      The current solution isn't perfect (no completely transparent
      function name registration upon corresponding target being called)
      but at least it is an improvement...
