      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.

      00example: fixed a harmless typo · 29ce07fb
      Michael Shigorin authored
      The script would work nevertheless (given the feature's included)
      but lapses are especially wrong in examples.

      These have been proofread somewhat to correspond
      to the current state of affairs; a missing one
      was added for fonts feature.

      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...

      full-view docs update · ddf0c5b7
      Michael Shigorin authored
      - 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      - dropped features.in/00example/README.en: it's already out-of-date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}

      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)

      Michael Shigorin authored
      Rather minor fixups for things changed in the meanwhile and not
      yet (re)documented properly; and a change for memtest feature
      to require syslinux feature (the code's been changed to fit
      the updated description, actually, and the change is purely
      formal as no syslinux alternative is being used/planned so far).

      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).
