Updated comment.

Applied a patch by Ingo, to strip the debug info from optional packages.
To note, the reduction of block size from 2048 to 1024 was not applied.
Introduced a new build variable HAIKU_STRIP_DEBUG_FROM_OPTIONAL_PACKAGES,
which will allow users to enable/disable that functionality. In the
alpha-* and nightly-* profiles, it is enabled. Reduced the image size
for alpha-* to 690M. The size for nightly images was left untouched.

Allow to suppress individual Optional Packages

Add Jam rule SuppressOptionalHaikuImagePackages as a mechanism to keep
packages from being installed.

Extend the UserBuildConfig.ReadMe document to cover the new command.

Closes ticket #6260.

Changes from v1:
* Simplified IsOptionalHaikuImagePackageAdded as suggested by Ingo.
* Added example as documentation.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38100 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Remove references to the timezone files in userbuildconfig jamfiles. We would need another AddSymlinkToHaikuImage
example...


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37770 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added some documentation about the anyboot images. Verification appreciated.

Axel changed the HAIKU_ADD_ALTERNATIVE_GCC_LIBS semantics.

From: Matt Madia

* InstallOptionalHaikuImagePackage: Made the first argument an actual file
name, i.e. the extension ".zip" is no longer appended by it.
* Renamed rules UnzipArchiveTo{Container,HaikuImage} to
ExtractArchiveTo{Container,HaikuImage} and generalized them to support
tgz/tar.gz archives (implemented in build_haiku_{image,cd}).
* Removed DownloadOptionalPackage. DownloadFile is used instead.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@35634 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Removed some problematic (OpenSound) entries, those that are already included
in others, and those where we already provide functionality for (VLC, Beam).


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@31581 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Moved the optional package dependency definitions into the new
build/jam/OptionalPackageDependencies and include it earlier (before the
Jamfiles).
* Introduced build/jam/OptionalBuildFeatures which is supposed to do the setup
for optional build features that need it.
* Renamed USE_SSL to HAIKU_BUILD_FEATURE_SSL and made it more intelligent.
The OpenSSL optional package is downloaded and unzipped automatically when
enabled. Switching between enabled/disabled HAIKU_BUILD_FEATURE_SSL is
handled gracefully -- the concerned components are built in separate
subdirectories. Adding the OpenSSL optional package to the image also enables
HAIKU_BUILD_FEATURE_SSL.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@30021 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Changed directory structure as suggested on the mailing list.
* Made the TimeZoneView less error prone, and also actually use Haiku code (the
previous check didn't work since it used #if, not #ifdef).
* Also took the liberty to rename our boot loader to haiku_loader, since I had
to update the nasm binary anyway. Updated the assembly sources to nasm 2.0.
* I haven't found where the synth location in the MIDI code is specified,
though.
* Also, NetBootArchive, and FloppyBootImage haven't been updated yet. Will do
so next.
* Some optional packages still put their license to beos/etc/licenses. I didn't
update them yet, as we'll probably do so anyway at some point. Also, I think
we might want to introduce a common/data/licenses instead for those.
* If you encounter any problems, please tell!

Missing space between Firefox and LibLayout. Spotted by "sarmale".


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29679 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Removed HAIKU_ADD_ALL_OPTIONAL_PACKAGES build variable. It did more harm than
good lately.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29608 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Applied (slighly modified) patch by Matt Madia: When the
--alternative-gcc-output-dir configure option has been specified,
HAIKU_ADD_ALTERNATIVE_GCC_LIBS is set by default. One has to explicitely
unset it in UserBuildConfig to avoid building the alternative gcc libs.
* Adjusted documentation accordingly.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29607 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Introduced rules UserBuildConfigRulePostBuildTargets,
UserBuildConfigRulePreImage, and UserBuildConfigRulePostImage which will be
invoked at different points in the build system execution. They can be
overridden in UserBuildConfig, thus allowing for executing user code at
those points.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@28765 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Document the new HAIKU_IMAGE_LABEL user build option in UserBuildConfig.ReadMe. Thanks Ingo for pointing it.

git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@27641 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Removed the description for obsolete
HAIKU_ADD_POSIX_TEST_SUITE_TO_IMAGE. There's a PosixTestSuite optional
package instead.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@27039 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Typo.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25537 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Support for adding libraries compiled with the alternative gcc (2 vs.
4). One has to have a (fully configured) "generated" directory for the
alternative gcc and specify it using the new option
"--alternative-gcc-output-dir" when configuring the main build.
Additionally the build variable HAIKU_ADD_ALTERNATIVE_GCC_LIBS has to be
set to "1".

If that has been done, when building the image a sub-jam is invoked that
generates the alternative libs and zips them. The main-jam unzips them
into the correct directory in the image. Note that the JAM build
variable has to be set when using a jam executable not invoked by "jam".

Tested with gcc 2 NetPositive, Pe, and FireFox under gcc 4 Haiku, and
with a few of the standard gcc 4 Haiku apps under gcc 2 Haiku. Seems to
work fine so far.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25536 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added HAIKU_IMAGE_HOST_NAME build system variable. Can be used to set
the host name of the Haiku installation.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25078 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Just make sure someone copying it as UserBuildConfig will understand what is wrong and where instead of reporting build breakage induced by their misbehaviour.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24775 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Added a new fancy build system feature called "build profiles".
Especially people building various kinds of images with different
settings may want to have a look at the respective section in the
UserBuildConfig.ReadMe.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24757 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Replaced the dummy implementations of the <grp.h> and <pwd.h>
functions by ones reading /etc/{group,passwd}.
* Added quasi-standard getpwent_r() and getgrent_r().
* Added _SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX and _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX sysconf()
constants.
* Moved initgroups() and getgrouplist() definition to grp.cpp. They use
the same backend as the <grp.h> functions.
* Set the permissions of files created by the build system to what they
should be on the image (executables: 755, others: 644). Otherwise only
root could do anything under Haiku.
* Added build system variables HAIKU_ROOT_USER_NAME and
HAIKU_ROOT_USER_REAL_NAME to customize name and real name of Haiku's
root user.
* Added build system rules AddUserToHaikuImage and AddGroupToHaikuImage
for adding additional users and groups (by default only root user and
group and a "users" group are created).
* Adjusted BIND port and coreutils config.h files according to what
features have become available.
* Fixed HAIKU_DOCUMENTATION_OBJECT_DIR definition. Untested, but it used
a wrong variable name before.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24750 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Added JAMFILE to the config variables.
* Added additional parameters to DeferredSubInclude. It's now possible
to specify an alternative Jamfile name.
* Added DeferredSubInclude example to UserBuildConfig.ReadMe showing the
new feature.
* Moved ExecuteDeferredSubIncludes in the root Jamfile before the
inclusion of HaikuImage, NetBootArchive etc., so that targets defined
in the subdirectories are already known there.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24680 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Added new rule CopyDirectoryToHaikuImage which recursively copies a
directory to the image. It supports exclude patterns.
* Changed Add{Source,Header}DirectoryToHaikuImage to use the
CopyDirectoryToHaikuImage rule. The special handling in the
build_haiku_image script is gone now.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24586 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Renamed UserBuildConfig.sample to UserBuildConfig.ReadMe and
uncommented the meaty lines again. Added one or two more explaining
sentences.
* Created a concise UserBuildConfig.sample with very few comments and
only the most interesting (commented out) example lines for those
people who don't read the UserBuildConfig.ReadMe.

I hope everyone can live with this solution.
