On CoreOS we use systemd to manage docker containers. Having docker
automatically start containers on reboot makes everything confused. Stop
doing this.
This makes double sure that the symlink is never removed by INSTALL_MASK
or PKG_INSTALL_MASK. This symlink is so strictly required by random
tools we cannot allow it to ever go missing by mistake.
A case of binary packages masking breakage, didn't notice this broke
because I didn't happen to trigger a build of gmerge during my testing.
This package.provided file contained the hackily installed toolchain
which is now handled via a normal emerge instead.
The INSTALL_MASK is altered all over the place, clean it up by moving
all of it to profiles. Add /usr/share/{i18n,locales} to exclude those
installed by glibc since it doesn't have a nls use flag to disable them.
Change the install location based on symlink-usr instead of the target
and use absolute symlinks. We need to move towards never installing to
/{bin,sbin,lib...} and the use of absolute links avoids needlessly
breaking if the symlink-usr flag and the current state of /bin don't
agree (i.e. between flipping the flag and migrating the current files).
As much as I like not seeing the i8042 error in the kernel log on
platforms without it I foresee someone being really ticked off with me
for making this a module when dracut fails without loading the PS/2 and
keyboard modules making the rescue shell kinda hard to use unless a
serial console is also available.
Yeah, well, fair enough future me. You win.
The kernel is much more particular about how it handles the cpio format
than GNU's cpio tool. Two things:
- Don't use the -depth option to find, cpio documentation recommends
using it (the directory comes after the contents so set the
permissions on the dir last in case it is overly restrictive) but the
kernel thinks the other direction and doesn't put things into a
directory that does not (yet) exist.
- Don't add anything under /lib which is a symlink in the original
file. Adding /lib as a directory later replaces the earlier /lib
symlink. Again the user space tool thinks in the other direction and
will happily dereference the symlink while extracting, preserving it.
CPIO CPIO CPIO!
Lots of changes here, some things of note:
- Switch from built-in to modules for much of the kernel.
- Enable more features, mostly in power management and networking.
- Remove no_firmware.patch, this was added back when we had two
different kernels which would conflict if both installed firmware.
- Stop disabling OUTOFTREE_BUILD now that we don't patch the source.
So far this is just compile tested so it is marked ~amd64 for now.
