      actually useful vm/icewm · e52e2178
      Michael Shigorin authored
      See http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID3/86239.html#1
      for a query that has led to this one; in particular,
      - xdm dropped (won't log in root and there are no users yet);
      - network is brought up and configured via DHCP by default;
      - apt-get works out-of-box;
      - default image size is twice the chroot size.

      use un-def kernel by default · 0e8871e7
      Michael Shigorin authored
      3.5.2-std-def-alt2 brings boot problems which were absent
      with 3.4.x-std-def and are absent with 3.5.x-un-def;
      seems like it's better to stay with known good variant
      at the moment instead of having to fall back to it.

      rescue += ipmitool · e064954e

      It was missing indeed; suggested by ildar@.

      fix root directory permissions · 83fa2544
      Michael Shigorin authored
      hsh-initroot leaves the chroot's root directory permissions
      as 1775 while these should really be 755 at most; let's fix it
      (important for both VE and VM images, useful for rescue/livecd
      ones as well -- especially those with an installer onboard).

      Thanks aen@ for finally mentioning it
      as I just used to cope without su. :)

      no more *silent* aliases · 84591991
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The missing "; @:" at the end of the otherwise recipeless rule
      resulted in target graph being broken; I should have checked this
      when introducing these aliases (the intent was to reduce noise).

      systemd += chkconfig · d2581522

      It appears that chkconfig wasn't getting pulled in
      by now if not told so explicitly.  Still in need.

      conf.d/test.mk: live-mate-systemd · 705a2093
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Not even alpha quality yet but at least debuggable:
      - X session doesn't autostart but service dm start works;
      - keyboard layout indicator is missing until started by hand.

      MATE: current crop of packages · f54a5660
      Michael Shigorin authored
      There's a bunch of additions to the MATE package list:
      thanks viy@ for pulling extras into autoimports,
      several more tweaks done due to hints by dek@,
      and openssh packages added for debugging convenience.
      
      The kernel's been changed for the latest one (un-def).

      Someone over the internets suggested that such a LiveCD exist:

      ...but then disappeared in the thin air, sigh.

      merged experimental support for opensuse · 23175f00
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This isn't ready for general consumption (just as centos one)
      but the notion of REPO is floating around along with apt-conf
      thoughts, and it might still be useful to someone poking around
      conf.d/test.mk.
      
      Request hasher-pkg-init.spec from mike@ or led@ if interested;
      the experiments were carried out using openSUSE 11.4 repository
      and slightly patched hasher (cpio blacklist for devices).

      minor documentation facelift · eb3df648
      Michael Shigorin authored
      A few more items were asking for some attention.
      
      In particular, build examples should start with
      the most basic, error-proof and quick targets.

      doc/qemu.txt: mostly automated · d646e719
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This part of docs was pleading to put it into a small shell
      script; it was done to facilitate kas@' debugging efforts
      so that qemu-system-ppc might eventually get fixed, thus
      livecd-qemu-arch package now "obsoletes" this file.

      features: hopefully better README · c08e86af
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Thanks both drool@ for his mild frustration with the current
      documentation as well as Greg Kroah-Hartman, Heikki Orsila
      and Neil Brown for http://lwn.net/Articles/504814/ -- the docs
      should really emphasize *why* something is done, not *how*,
      as the "how" part is better documented with the code itself
      (that doesn't mean that "the big picture" isn't needed).

      complex subprofile delimiter changed ("/" -> "@") · b21353a0
      Michael Shigorin authored
      That sub/stage2/install2 was somewhat clumsy actually as it looked
      like a hierarchical thing while being a substitution thing:
      generic stage2 would get put in place renamed as install2.
      
      This could only get worse with hierarchical features which have
      already been both requested and considered for quite a time,
      and "stage2 at install2" reads much more naturally.

      git usage refactoring · c4311108
      Michael Shigorin authored
      There were heaps of "if type -t git" there already;
      it wasn't an unintentional mishap but rather a moderate
      copy-paste to get the use cases, and now these seem to
      have essentially settled.
      
      So time to scrap some dups.
      
      NB: the scripts in the generated profile can't rely on
      the contents of the metaprofile (these need to be able
      to work in standalone case either), so a bit of crap
      still lurks there.

      rescue += boot off sda/sdb · 9c16a9e6

      There's no (convenient) "eject" at times, so it's better to provide
      extra ways of booting right away.

      image.in/Makefile: support image STATUS · 0d859e70
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Another feature suggested by Michael Radyuk (torabora):
      some images are known alpha/beta quality, it's more handy
      to just state this at the build time than to rename by hand.

      syslinux: honour META_VOL_SET for boot menu · cbfc3db8
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This trots along the TODO item on text branding
      and hopefully helps Michael Radyuk (torabora)
      with his feature request to tweak the installer's
      "Install ALT Linux" label; as an example, Simply
      will now offer to "Install Simply Linux".

      live-builder.iso += livecd-qemu-arch · 43d62dd9
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The package actually passed the test and just got uploaded
      to Sisyphus proper; its aim is to help set up the cross-arch
      QEMU build environment.
      
      NB: there are known issues with PPC32-on-x86_64 (which were
      the cause for this package and commit to be created in the
      first place).

      conf.d/test.mk: experimental stuff went here · 307fb51f
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Some images were unbuildable (at least without special setup,
      like ve/centos), unusable or just not useful in any meaningful way
      (like distro/live-isomd5sum); as these tend to get any attention
      during experiments, I decided to put them together in a separate
      configuration file that would be effectively skipped if DEBUG
      is not requested.

      syslinux: no ui, no escape · 46e3c947
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This one was suggested by enp@ for industrial use where
      some extra protection for the boot process might be quite
      desirable.
      
      If no syslinux ui was specified (the stock configuration paths
      ensure there is one) or if it was set to "none" explicitly,
      then there's no boot: prompt (let alone any menu).
      
      If there's a need to ensure that the boot process is not
      interruptable by Ctrl/Shift/Caps Lock/Scroll Lock.

      Essentially all the relevant server images got cpufreq setup

      doesn't try to modprobe it.
