      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.

      There's no (convenient) "eject" at times, so it's better to provide

      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.

      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.

      live, rescue: fix stage2cfg.mk LISTS/PACKAGES order · 6c00e10b
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The reason is that package lists and individual packages
      are processed in different dependency resolution "transactions"
      by mkimage; thus if packages (the more precise form of specifying
      the contents) come first they can't override the lists appearing
      later, and that's wrong: we should be able to specify the more
      generic things and then pinpoint the specifics.
      
      This became apparent while authoring [[Mkimage/Profiles/m-p/howto]]
      asked for by drool@.

      build-vm: standalone build is a must, too · cb764516
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The problem was spotted by Alexander Bandura:
      bin/tar2vm wasn't present in the generated profile.
      
      I considered extending features.in/Makefile to include
      bin/ alongside lib/ but that would make the helper's location
      unpredictable (unless BUILDDIR is specified explicitly) so
      restricting sudoers would be harder; worse yet, the copied file
      would come with write access for the user building an image.
      
      The implications in restricted case are complex enough anyways
      so the recommended implementation would only include a fixed
      readonly location like /usr/share/mkimage-profiles/bin/tar2vm
      as laid out in doc/vm.txt, and that means it's in the metaprofile
      not a generated profile.

      initial PowerPC support · 1ee997e8
      Michael Shigorin authored
      As it happens, adding another architecture required almost no changes;
      native 32-bit ppc build took only ARCH and a repo, qemu-ppc one still
      has problems (/.host/entry hangs while unpacking setup for fakedata).
      
      Proof of concept on a QS22:
      
        $ make ve/bare.tar.gz
        ** ARCH: ppc
        /bin/sh: rpmvercmp: command not found

      "df -l" is going to hurt (or at least spam) if it's a diskless node;

      non-native ARM support via qemu · d31a2555
      Michael Shigorin authored
      mkimage and hasher can make use of qemu to run
      non-native binaries while working on the chroots;
      thanks kas@, manowar@ and sbolshakov@ for implementing
      this functionality as well as providing nice examples
      through mkimage-profiles-arm and mkimage-profile-armrootfs.
      
      This required the architecture check to be added since baking
      a tarball with "arm" as its specified arch and x86_64 inside
      isn't particularly good thing to let slip through; however
      the implementation is quite fragile, bugreports and patches
      are seriously welcome.
      
      NB: APTCONF evaluation order between lazy make and nimble shell
      turned out to be quite a delicate issue in this particular case.

      initial native ARM support · 3c26cc86
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The only thing to be fixed was setarch(8) symlinks assumption
      that is correct for x86 but not for ARM.
      
      There's also some hasher(7) setup to be done:
      
        mkdir -p ~/.hasher
        echo >> ~/.hasher/config <<-EOF
        def_target=arm
        #cache_dir=$HOME/tmp	# depends on RAM/storage configuration
        EOF
      
      ...and of course apt(8) should be properly set up too.
      
      An example PoC build on a CM-A510 board (tmpfs):
      
        $ make BRANDING=altlinux-centaurus ve/bare.tar.gz
        ** ARCH: arm
