It happens when there are no separate arch/noarch subrepositories but everything is dumped into a single directory like in installer or live-builder environment (at least as of today).

Now this is ugly: instead of commoditizing the repetitive code the result ended up working differently by creating several repositories for the target subdirs instead of the single one for the generated subprofile as a whole. This results in .disk/profile.tgz being basically useless in every image since c4311108.

It appears that manually specified IMAGEDIR, e.g. by adding IMAGEDIR = ~/out/$(shell date +%Y%m%d) to ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk, might be problematic due to missing globbing. Let's make sure the paths are globbed and directories are created -- since make's wildcard() returns an empty string when there's nothing there [yet].

It wasn't spotted when introducing the distinct kernel feature; will need fixup as we meet packaged ARM/PPC kernels.

Somewhat kludgy unfortunately and might need even more tweaking, I have only armv7l board handy at the moment to verify that the transformation is going to work. QEMU is bailing out here and now ("Exec format error"). Example sources.list.sisyphus.armh of the season: rpm http://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/people/asdus/sisyphus armh classic rpm http://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/people/asdus/sisyphus noarch classic

ildar@ noted that the test involving whitespace is too quirky for some quirky enough cases like rpm-dir file:/var/cache/apt/archives . x86_64 -- let's introduce word boundaries there.

This is thanks to the fact that alterator-based install2 needs alterator-browser-qt which needs X11 which needs working device drivers -- and at least AMD C60 APU would only yield a nice dotted white screen without that firmware. Roughly the same for X11 bearing LiveCD images.

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.

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).

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.

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.

The prerequisites for a cleanup after a successful build were somewhat weird at this point; now the rules are: - if DEBUG level is more than 1 or CHECK is set, don't do it; - otherwise if at least one of the following conditions is true: + there's more than one target being built in a row; + the build was run by e.g. alterator-mkimage; + metaprofile directory is read only ...then do a distclean. If these are still weird or feel unsuitable for profile hacking, drop me a note (or a patch).

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.

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 18:10:45 initializing BUILDDIR: build/ 18:10:45 preparing distro config: build/distcfg.mk 18:10:46 starting image build: tail -f build/build.log 18:14:49 done (4:02) ** image: $TMP/out/bare-20120706-arm.tar.gz [23M]

Yes, mkimage-profiles is now able to build VM disk images. So far the support is pretty basic: - a single hard drive image with a single partition/FS - only stock root password is configurable - LILO is hardwired as a bootloader The resulting images tend to boot under qemu/kvm though. Please see doc/vm.txt for the warning regarding additional privileges and setup required. This was started back in February but I still hoped to avoid sudo/privileged helper (and libguestfs is almost as undistributable as can be)... Thanks: - http://blog.quinthar.com/2008/07/building-1gb-bootable-qemu-image-using.html - Alexey Morarash who reworked that as https://github.com/tuxofil/linsygen - led@, legion@, vitty@, aen@ for providing advice and inspiration

It somehow managed to evade me that $(TMP) might be uninitialized; definitely should be checked before stuffing into sed substitution command. NB: this could be done in pure make but my take was less readable. Thanks shadowsbrother/gmail for hitting and reporting this.

Just like livecd-install, graphical installer KMS support looks better as an optional part of install2 feature. Of course it's optional only if the release manager is fine with VESA drivers and not KMS-requiring intel/radeon/nouveau; thanks led@ for a confirmation just in case.

This further refines the modular build by making metadata being a clearly separated feature rather than having to rely on runtime tests, and also by moving the code which cares for kernel bits of base installation (.base list) in a feature of its own. There's more to it but let's get the ball rolling first.

It's hard to tell a successful build from a failed one if downstream hides the exit code; it's useless to continue a `for' loop if a pipe shoves that to a subshell; well it seems that a bashism is worth a thousand quirks with extra fds here. Minor regexp enhancements are also due. reports.mk made a bit more resilient/prudent either.

Sometimes it's desirable to provide the kernel supporting maximal amount of RAM on the system; bad news is that x86 has a kludge named PAE, good news is that x86_64 doesn't need it at all; but now we must be able to choose between those. BIGRAM will hold the flavour needed.

There is at least one known deficiency for mkimage-profiles: build.log will be truncated if verbose mode is enabled and hasher version is lower than 1.3.22. The check is done here since it's where the logging is arranged, and doing it in image.in/Makefile would result in the warning about log-truncating software being truncated by the said software. Thanks Max Kosmach for reporting this inobviousity.
