- generic VE archive type (added cpio and xz either) - minor additions/fixes

The bin/pkgdups.sh script comes from m-p-d in considerably optimized form and is to be used with the pkglist files of interest passed as its arguments to produce a "hall of duplicates" among those. The tagged lists received some updates along the rescue image lines, most of those are actually inspired by http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/ and to lesser extent a few articles on rescue/recovery/forensics software -- so some newcomers are even employed already.

This sketch quickly pulls virtualbox guest additions in the installed system; should probably be extended with other VM support...

New stuff: * distro/live-icewm -- basic icewm livecd with autologin; * distro/live-rescue -- yet another gparted^Wrescue CD. A better part of base+rescue tagged pkglist split off into extra+rescue where the content belongs. Thanks ruslandh@ for proposing to do a graphical rescue with some particular tools (albeit qt4-fsarchiver clearly needs more work).

use/live/autologin target tries hard to configure any available autologin means, including a dedicated package and a few DMs. Thanks gns@ as liveflash.eeepc got robbed somewhat.

distro/live-builder target used to employ a few duplicated packages that might make it to a list but as the list would have only a single user so far these were moved to a target- specific variable (hm, weird but "private" modifier broke).

COMMON_PACKAGES make it into basesystem like BASE_PACKAGES, not just into RPMS.main like MAIN_PACKAGES.

It's official now.

Actually this is the proper rewrite that was looming ever since tgz support was introduced: there are multiple archive formats supported by mkimage, and there are multiple compression methods available as well. So the bullet got bitten yet again along with the "goal parser" which should be more straightforward by now. Thanks dkr@ and mithraen@ for the inspiration of this evening.

Partially reverts "Makefile: presume a distro by default" commit: plain `make' should better help the user to decide the target rather than rush to build them all upon her.

distro/.base target used to pull in localboot syslinux config snippet which might be too early for some of the further distros; it's a quite fragile equilibrium which was shifted a bit by imz@ (see #26606). Feel free to reopen the discussion though, things might be tweaked so that localboot might be desirable on almost every image even if with lower priority...
-
Michael Shigorin authored
As noted by imz@ in #26608, a LiveCD is the more preferred boot target to a local drive usually (just as was discussed and implemented for ALT Linux 4.0 IIRC).

It was actually trivial given that the script was already maintained as a package by enp@ and msp@; its usage requires one to manually partition the target disk and optionally mkswap in advance.

This tweak follows zerg@'s question whether it's possible to employ i-f-cpufreq-stage3 (which pulls in cpufreq-simple too but also tweaks the default governor for AMD CPUs as recommended by kernel folks); see also this discussion: http://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/community/2011-November/thread.html#673459

- add_feature for autoregistration (simple but invasive) - added features: isomd5sum, repo, systemd - changed features: powerbutton -> power
-
Michael Shigorin authored
When ve/ support was introduced, a simple "make icewm.iso" had to turn into the more elaborate "make distro/icewm.iso". This latter one involves several keystrokes more, which is not even (environ)mentally friendly. This was supposed to get fixed somewhere down the road with a fallback but the elegance of IMAGE_* setup waterfall barred me from tweaking IMAGE_TARGET at once (and the downstream fixup would imply re-tweaking the consequent variables as well which is blatantly anti-mkimage-profilic being a brute fork). OTOH testing for a "directory" part of the goal is going to either deadlock on IMAGE_CLASS or duplicate its assignment. So now when I've had enough typing an extra "distro/", I'm going to just bite the bullet and tweak IMAGE_TARGET with a test duplicating IMAGE_CLASS assignment indeed (testing for e.g. "/" results in a different test, which would be worse yet). Please suggest a more elegant solution if you invent one!

As was (quite reasonably) asked by someone and me too, why should a successful build yield a *red* line (a grep's default)? So now it's new and improved, 25% free and so forth: with a successful build you get a green line, while errors from a broke one result in red ones. Clinically tested in both b/w and w/b colour schemes; in case you're not satisfied, please return original ANSI_OK and ANSI_FAIL values to the colour dealer and pass your favourite ones instead.

It's now possible to: - make distro/server-ovz.iso; - make distro/server-ovz-netinst.iso; - publish the former image's contents on ftp.linux.kiev.ua; - boot the latter (~17M) image and enjoy the netinstall ;-) The catch is that the stage2 (altinst file) location has to be hardwired into syslinux config snippet for things to happen automatically -- even if it can be specified manually in case of failure. The other catch is that currently a netinstall image is somewhat tied to the particular image it installs since stage1 kernel and stage2 modules must correspond strictly (the typical symptoms of the glitch would be missing mouse driver and weird "permission denied" errors during an attempt to partition the hard drives). It might be desirable to provide multi-distro netinstall image...

The features might get copy-pasted (or even copied-and-pruned) when initialized; there's an unneccessary duplication of the function name in the line adding it to FEATURES list, thus prone to being forgotten and causing some havoc later on. It was wrong in the first place but tackling this with some double-colon rules ran into terminality issues, and further tortures were considered unneccessary. The current solution isn't perfect (no completely transparent function name registration upon corresponding target being called) but at least it is an improvement...

The culprit was missing dhcpcd, although the rest of niceties already in server-mini were welcome to server-ovz either.

It appears that features.in/Makefile functioned a bit differently by now than was described back then: after loops and pushds got rearranged for robustness, it stopped to pick up a cleanup feature tagged script. That particular script is now better de-tagged and simply placed as a script to be merged into install2 subprofile. The tagged scripts still require a bit more comprehension to understand the use cases (e.g., do we need per-subprofile tagged script subdirs or just a toplevel one should be looked at, with script names telling where to put them). README used to mix up subprofiles and features; fixed.

We've got some parts of it in build-distro feature, and some went to dev feature for no real reason. But a bare installer might go without package base, and LiveCDs other than live-builder might find local repository useful given aufs2 root overlay. Now the overall scheme is more straightforward: - a distro: + asks that a package repo be included + cares to further add the packages to it - a repo feature: + pulls in sub/main for it to happen + provides genbasedir script to create repo metadata + supplements live feature with repo configuration

This is a base for "media check" to become available: using this feature will implant a checksum into the image so that it can be verified during install. Also added a test/demo distro/live-isomd5sum target. For real distros an alterator module is probably due.

This might be needed to install onto an SD card in a "native" (non-USB-mediated) SD/MMC cardreader; thanks Vladimir Karpinsky and gns@ for going over it for liveflash.eeepc case.

It is a current convention to prefer clearly phony targets (see the wiki page) so let's follow it here too.

This feature was handling powersave already, so the name should be changed already. Thanks sem@ for cpufreq-simple, there's now a compelling reason for that rename. Tweaked a few distro recipes accordingly.

- mkimage version required/checked
-
Michael Shigorin authored
There's a recommended version (0.2.0+ currently) and also the minimal version, 0.1.7, which received the important fixes. It was proposed by nice antique@ folks IIRC. Unfortunately the "suboptimal version" warning is pretty modest, and "minimal version" error will be apparent with DEBUG enabled; still the latter will terminate the downstream build and leave a clear message in build.log at any rate.

CLEAN is so useful and fiddling with .work chroots does demand knowledge (hsh-shell is handy btw); so unless we really get our hands dirty, let's spare ours preciouss tmpfss.

- toplevel README received some long-needed refactoring + lowlevel detail moved, well, to lowlevel READMEs - reflected more thoroughly that m-p is not about distros anymore - dropped features.in/00example/README.en: it's already out-of-date a bit, and there's no perceived need in thorough English docs so far - wiki article got split into parts and somewhat rewritten, links updated - mv doc/{CodingStyle,style.txt}

This only deals with console output (a text livecd doesn't ask the user regarding the preferred language so far). Refer to these discussions if needed: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25225 https://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/devel-conf/2005-August/001785.html
