      features.in/lowmem: initial release · 24ce6f54
      Michael Shigorin authored
      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.
      
      Should be ported to a l10n support framework when there's one.

      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

      01-genbasedir: dropped dup cleanup · 006c30a9
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This was pulled from mkimage-profiles-desktop as is,
      and so far is useless (addons, ltsp are out of scope yet).
      
      When reintroduced, it'd better be done as a separate script.

      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

      stage1/Makefile: serialize prereqs · 71c59a45
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The problem rarely manifested itself on 8-way server
      in the form of attempt to copy ./syslinux while it
      wasn't there yet.  The proper fix should include
      interdependencies but this kluge works either;
      didn't observe this with other subprofiles.

      image.in/Makefile: workaround for alterator-pkg · 5d2ca2ff

      kernel and BUILDDIR fixes · c2f70e5c
      Michael Shigorin authored
      - image.in/functions.mk: rework kpackage()
        + it takes two arguments explicitly now: this adds some noise
          for "generic" invocations but is rather less messy with recently
          introduced STAGE1_KFLAVOUR (which in its turn is rather cleaner
          than messing with KFLAVOURS, especially since soemthing changed
          in presumably apt and we can't rely on kernel packages being
          installed in the order formed).
      - BUILDDIR/DEBUG related fixes
        + Makefile: BUILDDIR initialization moved to distro.mk
      - build.log += git info

      server-ovz; KDEFAULT; syslinux features reworked · 3f012958
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Renamed server-light.iso into server-ovz.iso to avoid brand dilution
      and confusion (rider@'s server-light rather favours kvm, anyways).
      
      Introduced KDEFAULT: a reliable default kernel chooser knob
      since apt's regex ordering proved pretty unreliable.
      Spelling things explicitly is better anyways.
      
      SYSLINUX related features undergone pretty major rewrite
      (that includes syslinux, hdt and memtest).
      
      The problem to tackle was features.in/syslinux/generate.mk
      assuming syslinux and pciids available in build *host* system;
      this well might not be the case (or worse yet, those can be
      just different).  So now we're a bit less elegant and a bit
      more enterprise, stuffing things into chroot and working there.
      
      Bunch of other fixes along the road, including ; to name a few:
      - fixed memtest entry (overlooked while renaming SYSLINUX_ITEMS)
      - new and shiny doc/CodingStyle
      - gfxboot, stage1 target chain, hdt tweaks
      - distro.mk rehashed
      - README++
      - TODO: dropped (integer overflow anyways)
        + actually moved off-tree to reduce commit spam
      - s,\.config\.mk,distcfg.mk,g
      - doc/profiles.mk.sample: sample ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk
      - ...and assorted fixups/additions
      
      Sorry for convoluted commit, this would have been pretty hard to
      rework into some really readable shape (and you might be interested
      in the original repo's history horrors then, anyways).

      initial logging subsystem · d93989a3
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Now we don't dump all the gory details onto thee
      but rather log them handsomely and present only
      the most important details by default; use DEBUG=1
      and/or BUILDLOG=/path/to/file to tweak.
      
      Also introduced IMAGEDIR and IMAGENAME.
      
      The rest:
      - ovz-smp is no more
      - base-l10n pkglist (suggested by Alexander Kuprin)
      - clean.mk:
        + fixed an oversight: the test result erroneously applied
          only to the first command of several ones that should be
          run iff build/ is a symlink
        + drop implicit rules (it's no C code)
      - Makefile: more reasonable iso names
      - image.in/Makefile: .disk/date too

      kernel day · 16e763e9

      - drop hardwired kernel flavour from pkglists
      - today's std-ng lacks aufs, let's switch to un-def
      - second assault at KERNEL_PACKAGES_REGEXP
      - re-introduced kpackages (builds ok)
      
      PS: base lists: switch to grub, add udev, cleanup

      tagged lists updates · 62f7ad5b
      Michael Shigorin authored
      tags2lists was tweaked to work on the more natural word boundaries
      than explicit "_", and the lists were renamed accordingly.
      
      Dropped the borrowed pkglists by the way.

      drop autoconf, a few vars in .mk suffice · d77e1d8d
      Michael Shigorin authored
      A major change in approach largely thanks to discussions
      with Alexey Cheusov but also well aligned with my own findings:
      autoconf doesn't let the variables to form an inheritance.
      
      And data flow described at http://www.altlinux.org/WhiteLabel
      (which in its turn was born thanks to Gavin Henrick of Diva Telecom
      and to Alexander Bokovoy of SaM-Solutions) is really dependent on
      the existence of such an inheritance.
      
      Also:
      - distro.mk += try()
      - "hide" special targets
      - fixed wrt distro/.{base,init,metaconf}, thx gns@
      - README updates
        + added metaconf.mk
        + clarifications
      - updated pci.ids location for hdt
