It's a tad pointless to be able to create a filesystem
but not to be able to fsck it at boot.

- regular fixes

Dank Bagryantsev asked if it could be added to available packages
at least; well it is there now but not in default install
as aptitude is currently unsupported.

At least lspci was sorely missing in non-rescue images
(as well as in mini rescue part of server image);
thanks Dank Bagryantsev for pointing this out:

This is pretty valuable addition and doesn't take that much space
(roughly +100M).

I don't think we're gonna like plymouth over rescue image
anytime soon, especially when it hides the moment when shell
pops up somewhere under it without startup-rescue caring to
remove the splash.

So let's put that $(INSTALL2_BRANDING) into proper stage2
flavours only and avoid choking on missing plymouth as well.

led@ has different kernel-modules-* package set,
some of those "standard" names are provided but
vbox* is not the case.

As our macros and helpers will grok this just fine,
let's add both variants so what's present gets in.

Another fork place: live branch used to depend on +vmguest,
installable one omitted that for some reason.

Suddenly got lots of extra space to wa^H^Hfill due to led-ws
thus a few more FRs by Speccyfighter can go in ;-)

This kernel can help save almost 50 megabytes of image size
and shave off several megs of RAM consumption as well which
is important after the installation has been through.

Adding rescue image was requested by Speccyfighter (in Russian):

http://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/community/2013-December/681045.html

...and it seems hard but doable if one doesn't mind barebone rescue;
still efi-shell shouldn't spoil x86_64 build as that one won't fit CD-R
and doesn't have to anyways.

In these tough times there are no extra resources to waste
for wars or some extra rescue; so it is imperative to provide
some lean and mean help, you know.

IOW a common base has been split out and a more tight rescue
image configuration has been added on top of that so as to
try and fit altlinux-p7-sysv-tde.iso for i586 into CD-R.

Argh, so alterator-auth was hiding under a name it provides too
-- now *that* is the cause for those last-step failures as the
rest of the environment hasn't been getting set up apparently.

Just drop it, there's a proper domain-client pkglist for that.
This is what 63293ff2 should
have done too.

...so that it hits regular-sysv-tde (and other installers) too.

un-def got unsuitable due to initial ramdisk migrating from
initramfs to tmpfs by default in newer kernels, and propagator
was using pretty kludgy way to determine that /dev has been
mounted already; led-ws (and supposedly lks-wks) have stumbled
upon this earlier.

20130822 version has been fixed regarding that.

I've noted that this bit of code should be fixed up
before pushing but managed to overlook that in the end :(

mkimage version bump is due to the somewhat changed layout
of EFI packages and binaries within those (linked message in Russian):
http://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/devel-distro/2013-December/001283.html

- efi updates

...instead of installer-distro-desktop which pulls in
alterator-auth which breaks things big time for sysv-tde
installer image due to avahi-daemon lazy to run.

Of course it's the last step of installation that has to fail.

And I've been considering this for several months already anyways.

I wondered how regular-e18 lacked econnman but it only
took a closer look to understand that it's just not told
to go in, plain and simple!

There are no e18-extra-modules (at least so far),
confine that to desktop+e17.

Thanks zerg@, it's been one of the things asked for.
Should end up in kde4-regular dependencies if OK.

Thanks sem@ for implementing and announcing wrt Simply 7.0.2.

It's at least as worthy as sbsigntools are.

It's proprietary now but still very useful with no free software
alternatives for UEFI platform so far; let's include efi-memtest86
into the rescue image at least.

It's implemented just like EFI_SHELL and will definitely
change someday but so far it's like this...

We chose to provide methods to sign packages but to avoid
signing these by default (with some arbitrary test keys)
the signatures are being added *after* the build by means
of rpmrebuild-pesign; all of this is made significantly
more complicated if there are separate -signed subpackages.

So these are being dropped in the packages; account for that.

- refind branding

Everything is handled within mki-copy-efiboot currently
but it needs an image to process; extracting one from
bootloader branding seems less hassle than forcing it
into every flavour of branding.

My personal favourite one is hardlinkpy currently
(thanks ldv@) but a few others might be handy as well.

I've managed to overlook that it pulls in libX*...

The changes in commits gb3e3234c and ga860b179 were actually useless
as rescue+fs list wasn't included into RESCUE_LISTS... and I need
pv(1) for convenient local disk cloning with time estimate.

- e18

Thanks aris@ there are now e18 packages available;
everything is almost the same distribution-wise.

The implementation is identical to e17 one.

Thanks Aleksey Cheusov for proposing this.
