Was long overdue already but let's leave that in 2012. :)

This one provides apt configuration for the LiveCD itself
as well as extra hooks for a livecd-install made system.

Installable live systems can have LUKS as well
and it's welcome addition to rescue images too.

This time it's

  xorriso : FAILURE : -volid: Text too long (33 > 32)

and todo-- as well.

It's a separate installation step to set the LUKS password;
see also #28200 for (terse) discussion and instructions on
getting this actually working for a distro.

For MATE regular images right now
but should be more widely useful.

Thanks gns@ for his help in figuring these out;
some metapackage related optimization is still due.

These are out there in Sisyphus and should be used
instead of copious lines in a package list.

Thanks sem@ for proposing gnome-icon-theme to supplement
the lack of icons in the default theme; note that tango
set doesn't quite cut it, even with extras.

Thunar -> thunar; xfcalendar -> orage

Borrowed from m-p-d's init-xdg-user-dirs, of course.

Slowly fixing up the discrepancies...

There's use/x11/kde already but that serves somewhat different
purpose as of today; the naming issue (kde vs kde4) was tersely
discussed with sin@ at the time of the merge of his KDE4 image
related bits and it's still not that clear.

Let's try this way and see if existing images would be ported
to use/x11/kde4.

This marks 0.17.0 hitting Sisyphus to much delight.

A few things have changed...

The whole live-rescue needs a massive facelift regarding
applications included and user experience achieved (remember
that folks are going to be stressed enough already with data
lost or system(s) not booting, and probably offline as well);
but at least it's UEFI bootable now.

The rescue feature intentionally doesn't pick up THE_PACKAGES
and THE_LISTS into stage2, so add EFI ones explicitly.

It was long overdue since (U)EFI support for live images
has been there for some six weeks or so already.

The (funny but somewhat confusing) problem manifests itself as

  E: Couldn't find package Binary

during a build run in the profile where a tagged packagelist
referenced by a specific target being built is open with vim
(which results in .FILE.sw? temporary file lying aside).

The script hook naming advice and "+name" puropose explanation
seem to have been missing.

There's a possibility to run into IA32 EFI but that's rather
uninteresting hardware (ancient Xeon servers and <s>outdated</s>
early Intel Mac laptops).  Just drop it on the floor.

As x86_64 UEFI support would result in "2D hybrid(r)(tm)" image
which boots with all combinations of BIOS/UEFI by CD|DVD/Flash
(or at least should boot), some downgrace seems due: use/efi will
turn use/isohybrid on non-x86_64 -- which will require further
tweaks on PPC/ARM some day.

- enhanced uefi support

That FIXME has been FIXED already.

I will test more in kvm
I will test more in kvm
I will test more in kvm
...

Intermediate one: build-propagator *is* run off stage1,
no mkimage changes for that matter so far.  This means
that m-p still duplicates mki-pack-boot to some extent
but the way to dedup this is still not clear enough...

The initial approach required some quite involved postprocessing
as described in http://www.altlinux.org/UEFI#HOWTO; after having
ironed out the kinks so that initial EFI support could be merged
into mkimage proper we're better off just using it, eh?

A next part in systemd conspiracy practice: this time it tried
to take over the installer but was caught on site!

- initial kde4 support

As was proposed by Alexey Varakin in community@,
whdd was built for ALT Linux by drool@ and pauli@
with some help by torabora@ and mithraen@; looks like
it's a worthy addition to the rescue kit.

The problem manifests itself when the naive parser ignores
any conditions that might have been set in the makefiles
included with subsequent attempt to run a target which has
its actual rule defined within e.g. "ifdef DEBUG" clause
(as is the case for conf.d/test.mk); that will fail with
no proper diagnostics currently.

Maybe this would be of some use (but then again maybe not):
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3063507/list-goals-targets-in-gnu-make

The previous part was fixed and discussed in commit
c30490e2;
so much for a deduplication effort...

This would result in almost immediate

  make[1]: *** [profile/populate] Error 2

as well.

That is, p6/t6 continue to use 3.81 (while providing 3.82
alongside with it), and Sisyphus has moved to 3.82 before
p7/t7.  We support both versions by now.

While ildar@ has some reason for the slimmer image
the somewhat standalone one is documented in examples
for offline use, ruining it in-place is not an option.

Let's just do a split (and lose a target-specific variable
example in favour of a commodity pkglist by the way; oh well).

a live-builder appliance is (or may be) usually used for building software
with many dependencies, hence needing access to external resources,
e.g. apt repos with lib${NAME}-devel packages.

This commit cuts RPM packages from the live-builder LiveCD.
