Add commentary for a bunch of the removepkg lines, and drop a bunch of
things that were in the list that weren't being installed anyway. Also
drop some redundant removepkg lines about chkconfig.
This adds the boot config files from anaconda to lorax's configdir.
They've been edited to include a '@ROOT@' placeholder, so lorax can put
the proper root=... argument in place, and to use the @VAR@ convention
everywhere (instead of some using @VAR@ and some using %VAR%).
This should probably fix EFI booting, since the EFI BOOT*.conf was
missing its root=... arg.
Also some default settings were changed in syslinux.cfg (so we don't
have to rewrite those two lines every time).
One last change - the '-magic' arg and ppc 'magic' file have been
dropped, because that's kind of silly and unnecessary.
removing packages sadly doesn't run their %post scripts, so a lot of
broken links are left around for systemd units and/or sysvinit scripts.
So, after other cleanup, remove any broken links in /etc, /usr, or /lib.
- don't bother explicitly listing things that get installed as deps
- rearrange packages into functional groups, so we know *why* each
package gets installed
- add commentary about some dubious package installations
I've done some testing on x86_64 and ppc64 - the installed package set
is unchanged except for the addition of lohit-malayalam-fonts.
Clean a bunch of things that we don't need to removepkg:
- packages with no files (*-filesystem, basesystem)
- packages that only contain files that will be deleted anyway
(e.g. *-fonts-common - only contains files in /usr/share/doc)
- packages that aren't being installed or no longer exist
(hal-libs, clutter, mutter, libXv, redhat-menus, etc)
- consolidate perl lines to just: removepkg perl*
If it's a symlink, we'll copy the file into the symlink, and then we'll
likely remove the target of the symlink (../bin/systemd) in cleanup, and
then we have no init. Boo.
To build F15 images we need to remove systemd and set up loader as init
(see runtime-cleanup and runtime-postinstall).
We also need to add a hack to dracut so loader won't freak out when it
gets started by anaconda - see the file we're adding to the initramfs in
treebuilder.py.
(There's also an extra bonus hack for working around a bug in dracut if
/proc/cmdline is empty - SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT IT!!!)
