...so that locale is selectable at boot (unfortunately there's no
way to do that with text menu so far as cmdline is only changed
in its entirety there and generating it from the bits involved
is Not Implemented Yet as usual).

Sigh, this kludgy bridge does need maintenance indeed. :-/

- live-builder update

Or at least regular-tde-sysv.iso would lack it for livecd-install.

...so that the images are buildable immediately.

It's basically required by mkimage since Linux 3.6,
see the description of that package.

Helps to analyze the resulting ISO9660 images.

...as it *does* rely on connectivity.

...to RPMS.main; those eager to use them can install by hand
and configure properly.

Some of the excluded dockapps would crash on startup
or just require manual configuration thus getting those
into the default menu on a live image would rather harm.

distro/.regular-sysv{,-gtk} intermediate targets are factored out
to form the base for more image targets as at least e17, icewm,
tde and wmaker are fine without systemd-logind.  These represent
both GTK and Qt based environments hence the two footholds.

- luks better

The "workaround" would mis-apply to regular-wmaker target
instead of regular-gnustep it was intended for...

LUKS seems like a worthwile addition to this particular image;
it's also switched to use installer-distro-altlinux-server
for both LUKS support (until installer-steps are dynamic)
and server-oriented partitioning presets.

Let's ensure that make-initrd-luks gets to the base install
until installer is tweaked to enable in-flight installation
of options like this.

Adding luks to stage1 [make-initrd] features makes no sense
on the other hand (and it wasn't happening anyways due to
the lack of add_feature function call in config.mk as was
accidentally spotted).

And putting luks packages into an installer image lacking
the reference to alterator-luks isn't that sensible, let's
complain to logs at the very least (this isn't going to hit
the default output though).

It got missed somehow that it's a bullet list indeed...

- regular tweaks

Carrying over metadata and packages downloaded by apt while
being run off a LiveCD is implemented as suggested in #29192.

It's the only installer in this collection
and it did lack any branding indeed.

"prompt" and subsequent first "label" were not separated
in any way while second "label" and forth were; let's make
the resulting isolinux.cfg a tiny bit more pretty.

- regular fixes

NM/TDE is fixed (#25713), ARTS is needed.

This is to avoid NM messing with network interface
involved in NFS root filesystem being operational
(see alterator-netinst); thanks sem@ for the hint.

Make it automatically start in desktop ones,
and let it be available in rescue too (there's
a risk of gpm picking up a wrong protocol and
selecting/pasting at random which is not exactly
the right thing for rescue environment with root
shells all around).

alterator-netinst currently relies on "default"
being specified explicitly; it's wrong and it should
cope with the first "label" clause as well but we're
better off being strict to this script, not that one.

This commit should be no-op regarding syslinux itself.

sshd is rather requisite, wonder how it got missed.

It's based on the package list provided by ldv@ and intended
for barebone OpenVZ template cache serving as a base for any
customizations needed.

It's a great tool giving the ability to at least debug
the novel problems that weren't there before systemd.

Good that it doesn't want half of GNOME or python yet...

It was a desperate kludge to warrant fallback localization
for cases when livecd-setlocale failed to work out properly;
"thanks" to systemd paralizing startup the order was chaotic,
see #28991 for some details.

Now that livecd-setlocale >= 0.3.1 looks like working this
should be dropped for good.

And the proper preset solution will be l10n feature.
That one requires part of alterator-sysconfig backend
factored out into a standalone package along with its data.

- armh/p7/ve fixes

Setting up apt configuration in every container
is pretty annoying, let's enable it by default.

Some provision to add/enable local mirror would
be beneficial but not there yet...

This one adds another image class as well.
Hope this kludge will not get self-conscious...

etckeeper was suggested by george@ along with vim-console;
the latter should come by server,base tags but so far does not
(splitting server-base list into common, bare metal and virtualized
parts in haste looked suboptimal).

It should actually work better than manual specification
now that it's fixed.

That is, no need to pull in systemd as syslogd-daemon provider
when an unspecified one has been requested by interactivesystem
or anything else.

The tricky issue is that THE_LISTS will get expanded separately
and too late to specify a particular provider which will have been
auto-chosen while expanding e.g. BASE_PACKAGES.

rootfs got handy either though managing modules to preload
might be enhanced further.
