      documentation: use paths relative to toplevel dir · 3f547e25
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This change is done to reduce ambiguity in some cases;
      the previous intention has been to ease navigation when
      staying in a particular directory, now it's been changed
      in favour of convenient toplevel `git grep' in fact.
      
      Both variants have their pros and cons, I just find myself
      leaning to this one by now hence the commit.  Feel free to
      provide constructive criticism :)
      
      Some path-related bitrot has also been fixed while at that.

      initial deflogin feature (security sensitive!) · d22c793e
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The feature officially introduces the "engineering passwords"
      including empty ones which have been around since forever but
      weren't properly managed (and still are not, at least until
      there are no stray passwd/chpasswd/usermod calls in both the
      profile, installer-features and all the other related parts).
      
      It is based on an m-p-d init3-users script by stanv@ but was
      cleaned up and restructured in a pretty severe manner; thanks
      glebfm@ for additional discussion.
      
      This also cleans up the kludge previously stuck into build-vm.
      
      Note that vm/icewm sports graphical autologin now as well as
      the default root password (which can be overridden by passing
      ROOTPW=... to make but it is a change from the previous state
      of affairs indeed).

      build-{ve,vm}: handle THE_* and DOT_BASE too · ee5dd31a
      Michael Shigorin authored
      Classic VEs don't carry any kernel since these are running
      under a single OpenVZ (or potentially LXC) kernel image;
      ARM Multiboot (TWRP in this particular case) allows to boot
      off a chroot via kexec, and we need a kernel in it for that,
      obviously.
      
      No bootloader required inside such VE though.

      initial rootfs subprofile and services feature · 67adab49
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This subprofile is akin to THE_* variables family: the configuration
      bits and script hooks sitting there influence whatever chroot is
      declared to be the user facing one in the end, whether it comes
      from vm image or live subprofile.
      
      The services feature ought to be a changeset of its own which would
      be based on rootfs and become the base for ve/vm changes but I chose
      to just do it atomically; some pre-existing duplicates are pruned now.

      initial build-vm feature · 75f7c62b
      Michael Shigorin authored
      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:

      introduced add_feature function · 9cedefdb
      Michael Shigorin authored
      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...

      official {distro,ve}/* support · d5a5941f
      Michael Shigorin authored
      This is quite a large-scale change since mkimage-profiles got used to
      baking distributions over the last year, and virtual environments are
      quite different, so e.g. image.in/Makefile had to be split in two with
      the main part of it moved into features.in/iso/lib/.
      
      Short overview:
      
      - features.in/Makefile: lib/ support
        (supporting VE images requires dynamic modifications
        to image.in/Makefile before starting the build;
        the most natural way to achieve that seems to use
        features mechanism along with makefile include dir)
      
      - packaging format related part moved into features.in/pack
        (should be better prepared for diversity either)
      - features.in/iso renamed to features.in/build-distro
      - features.in/ve  renamed to features.in/build-ve
        + NB: these could not be merged as e.g. features.in/build
          due to completely different script hooks
      
      - lib/image.mk renamed to lib/build.mk
      - image, config, log postprocessing moved downstream
      - added a sort of a topping in the form of lib/sugar.mk
      - assorted style fixups (like ifeq usage)
      
      - clean.mk: reliability fix (the problem was observed by Oleg Ivanov
        and me too but finally it did get the attention quantum)
      
      - reviewed, updated and extended docs
        + QUICKSTART: should be[come] a step-by-step guide
          (thanks Leo-sp50 for prodiving feedback)
