      features.in/Makefile: src/dst tweaks · 5dbf407c
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Introduced support for hooks to be added to every
      derivative substage of a "base" stage (think stage2/*).
      
      Specific hooks for e.g. stage2/live would live in
      features.in/*/live/*scripts.d/ while generic for stage2/* in
      features.in/*/stage2/*scripts.d/

      added some missing READMEs to a few features · 74e81984

      initial features.in/dos · a3c0d2bb
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This was tackled before but it took raorn@'s hint regarding
      sys-freedos-linux (ms-sys has no bootsectors compatible with
      freedos currently) and gns@' quick rush at make-freedos-floppy
      script to wrap things up.
      
      Should be further developed to become actually useful though.

      COMMON_PACKAGES and SYSTEM_PACKAGES · 774169c6
      Michael Shigorin authored
      It was clear that "common" isn't very apt for packages that
      will get *everywhere*, and became apparent when the need for
      a "base+live packages" variable arrived with powerbutton feature.
      
      So:
      - the former COMMON_PACKAGES are now SYSTEM_PACKAGES;
      - COMMON_PACKAGES act as "BASE+LIVE_PACKAGES".
      
      Note that SYSTEM_PACKAGES also got factored out from stage2 based
      features into stage2 subprofile itself; cleanups were due as well.

      docs update · fba30e06
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Rather minor fixups for things changed in the meanwhile and not
      yet (re)documented properly; and a change for memtest feature
      to require syslinux feature (the code's been changed to fit
      the updated description, actually, and the change is purely
      formal as no syslinux alternative is being used/planned so far).

      image.in/vars.mk: dump distcfg variables nicely · 69d5133a
      Michael Shigorin authored
      distcfg.mk is nice for tracing the variable values' build-up,
      but it's more useful to have a look at the final result sometimes.
      So here it is, logged for each build and callable by hand.

      ensure that image output directory does exist · 7f555ed7
      Michael Shigorin authored
      It turned out that ~/out masked the broken execution path
      when it's absent (which was handled incompletely).  Sigh.

      cosmetic fixup (s/GROUPS/MAIN_GROUPS/g) · b56df316
      Michael Shigorin authored
      MAIN_GROUPS should align better along with MAIN_PACKAGES
      and MAIN_LISTS (even if MAIN_ prefix might be suboptimal
      given that these packages are essentially extras within
      the particular image).

      minicd.iso -> server-mini.iso (and more tags) · 4dfd6898
      Michael Shigorin authored
      minicd target was a hasty hack indeed, let's put it in line;
      an attempt at practical use discovered the lack of important
      packages like dhcpcd, these were added on per package basis
      and quickly remade to use tags -- which seem to fit better.

      live, rescue, and use tags · cf81cc67
      Michael Shigorin authored
      It's still very immature -- base lists should be really base,
      and functionality should be sorted out in more consistent way.
      So far moved to tagged lists (which need some more experimentation
      anyways to get both lists and their use more elegant).
      
      - fixed live.iso (now actually useful):
        + extra cleanup was being done (coming from install2 case)
        + root user was password blocked
        + there was no unprivileged user (added "altlinux" w/o password)
        + added xdm setup hook for future X-based livecd flavours
        + several picks for a less slim "base" list
        + xdm login
      - tweaked rescue.iso (added ext3grep)

      improved logging during profile creation · 3a5b47e7

      - more comprehensible git log messages
        + special handling for complex subprofiles

      features.in/Makefile: subtle but important typo fix · 5c543410
      Michael Shigorin authored
      dst a shell variable in a makefile recipe,
      its dereference must be escaped properly;
      the net result was false positive for the test

      fixed grub installer distros · 9475d199
      Michael Shigorin authored
      These were broken since 5ff375aa10bee7937db457d3df3115f938bb6c77
      due to no bootloader being tossed anymore by the very
      installer-distro-altlinux-generic (which is the default)

      fixed stage1 for syslinux.iso · 2b47da98

      squashcfk.mk is not to be attempted to copy unconditionally,
      if we've got no kernel for stage2 there's no data (and hook)
      to create it there

      stage2 based live subprofiles, updated docs · f5a8b893

      - introduced generic stage2 subprofile (non-standalone)
      - ported installer and rescue over to stage2/{install2,rescue}
      - initial stage2/live (needs more work for sure)
      - use make-initrd-propagator

      install2 isn't the only livecd around;
      so far all of these share the same kernel
      in m-p-d, and we'd rather need two+ kernels

      things too much at this point

      .base rehashed, DISK_LISTS renamed, etc · 5f881522
      Michael Shigorin authored
      In particular:
      - .base is now generated from pieces (see image.in/Makefile)
      - s/DISTROS/IMAGES/g; s/CONFIGS/DISTROS/g (for clarity)
      - s/DISK_LISTS/MAIN_LISTS/g ("disk" was early m-p-d legacy)
      - introduced BASE_PACKAGES to complement BASE_LISTS
      - minor tweaks to Makefile (ARCH and DATE moved elsewhere)
      - libdistro.mk: dropped overlooked IMAGE_INIT_LIST copy
      - clean.mk: silly cleanup

      configured services, etc).  So here's the replacement.

      This feature should absorb ha^Wmeasures for keeping install2
      memory footprint to minimum, and so far it drops things not
      critical for ru/uk/be users on the floor.

      install2: split 85cleanup-legacy off 85cleanup-cjk · 0b0ad61b
      Michael Shigorin authored
      We have several categories of overhead data:
      - legacy 8-bit fonts, locales and gconv modules;
      - illegible fonts (e.g. 5x7 or 6x10);
      - obsolete vendor specific stuff;
      - CJK (which would require proper support anyways).
      
      Notes:
      - JIS and things like VISCII are 8-bit either
        and thus might be reconsidered as "legacy";
      - proper CJK support would probably include
        scalable fonts and an input method helper;
      - main target audience is rather ru/uk/be by now.
      
      (dropped wireless from install2 either)

      sub.in/install2/Makefile: enforce a kernel · 50e0779f
      Michael Shigorin authored
      A bit earlier the situation where there was a stage1 fallback
      for INSTALLER_KFLAVOUR as the last of KFLAVOURS, so we'd have
      an installer kernel or build would break; now the situration
      got somewhat twisted: there could be a vmlinuz in stage1 but
      no corresponding modules in install2 -- which can lead to
      different surprises but at least alterator-vm would complain
      about "Operation not permitted" on partition layout commit.
      
      The fallback is a copypaste from sub.in/stage1/Makefile though
      and should be redone properly somewhere.  The question so far
      is, where exactly?

      moved stage1 scripts into feature.in/installer · 1a8d74e8
      Michael Shigorin authored
      All the three scripts depend on installer kernel presence in fact.
      When live/rescue are in place, these should be adjusted correspondingly,
      probably by moving them to some commonly used intermediate place.
      
      Changed stage1 banner too.

      syslinux: add vesamenu ui support · 1941e527
      Michael Shigorin authored
      ...and switch syslinux.iso over to it: syslinux-3.86-alt4's
      (actually opensuse's) gfxboot hackery doesn't properly init
      video mode so memdisk-started freedos has console troubles
      (and yesterday's hdt.c32 hassles could be avoided as well
      it seems).  And that's being implemented.
      
      Mid-term plan: try switching to syslinux4.
      
      PS: CLI fallback was actually a bug in hdt from syslinux <= 3.86-alt3

      This was pulled from mkimage-profiles-desktop as is,

      pass squashfs options from stage1 test to install2 · 5c571b9a
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This looks a bit weird (two subprofiles become a bit more
      tightly coupled) but in fact install2 does depend on stage1,
      and if stage1 doesn't create squashcfg.mk then install2 is
      just fine with defaults (provided they fit the installer kernel
      used).  A proper mkimage test infrastructure might be handy though.
      
      Also there:
      - 01-initfs: partial cleanup (bootsplash is obsolete anyways)
      - regarding 03-test-kernel's errorlevel test:
        if 0, 1 and 2 need to be distinguished, "!" MUST NOT be used
        as it negates so that 0 becomes 1 and the rest becomes 0

      The problem rarely manifested itself on 8-way server
      in the form of attempt to copy ./syslinux while it
