We can't reliably set contemporary processors to an arbitrary frequency.
There are dependencies between cores and thechnologies like Turbo Boost
which may make actual frequency significantly different than the requested.
Moreover, it is the scheduler job to decide how much CPU performance is
needed and user shouldn't interfere with that.
When asked to strip binaries when copying to containers we now
strip to a temporary file, copy over resources to it, copy it
to the container, then copy the attributes from the original
source.
This should allow stripping binaries while preserving attributes
and resources even when copying to images.
Currently only needed for boot floppy on some platforms.
Disabled for now.
Note we do not have a mean of knowing which file is a binary
or not so we just try to strip, and silently continue when
strip fails (like on the kernel settings file).
Also note strip actually replaces the file, which means it looses
both the resources and attributes, which shouldn't be a problem
for the boot floppy drivers archive, but is not wanted for other
images, so it's not usable elsewhere as such. Patch wanted.
* rule AddPackageFilesToHaikuImage: Add "flags" parameter. The only
supported flag is "nameFromMetaInfo". It causes the packages to be
copied under their canonical file name onto the image.
* Use the new flag for all generated packages save haiku_loader.hpkg.
This makes package management operations that require a repository cache
immediately usable (even offline). Also makes sense for the
update-{all,packages} build profile actions, since those update the
repository config which would otherwise no longer match a potentially
existing cache.
* find_directory() and hard-coded paths use /boot/system instead of
/boot/common.
* The build system creates the writable directories in /boot/system
instead of /boot/common.
* The build system no longer installs any packages in /boot/common.
* IsPackageAvailable, FetchPackage: Add flags parameter. The only
flag supported ATM is nameResolved, indicating that the specified
package name does not need to be resolved with respect to a secondary
architecture anymore.
* Add build profile action "build-package-list". As an argument the
file to which the list of all packages needed for the image is
written. The rule BuildHaikuImagePackageList implements the action.
* BuildBootstrapRepositoryConfig: Does now require the variable
HAIKU_REPOSITORY_TREE_PATH to be set on the config file target instead
of hard-coding the path. Allows reuse of the actions.
* Add rules BuildHaikuPortsSourcePackageDirectory and
BuildHaikuPortsRepositoryConfig. The former builds all HaikuPorts
source packages needed to build the packages for an alpha image. The
latter generates a haikuports.conf file for use on the bootstrap
Haiku.
* HaikuImageBootstrap: Add directory /boot/home/haikuports which
contains a subdirectory with the source packages and a
haikuports.conf.
* All packaging architecture dependent variables do now have a
respective suffix and are set up for each configured packaging
architecture, save for the kernel and boot loader variables, which
are still only set up for the primary architecture.
For convenience TARGET_PACKAGING_ARCH, TARGET_ARCH, TARGET_LIBSUPC++,
and TARGET_LIBSTDC++ are set to the respective values for the primary
packaging architecture by default.
* Introduce a set of MultiArch* rules to help with building targets for
multiple packaging architectures. Generally the respective targets are
(additionally) gristed with the packaging architecture. For libraries
the additional grist is usually omitted for the primary architecture
(e.g. libroot.so and <x86>libroot.so for x86_gcc2/x86 hybrid), so that
Jamfiles for targets built only for the primary architecture don't
need to be changed.
* Add multi-arch build support for all targets needed for the stage 1
cross devel package as well as for libbe (untested).
* Add configure option --bootstrap which allows specifying the
haikuporter and HaikuPorts repository paths.
* Add rules for supporting a second repository type. The
PackageRepository rule is now private and RemotePackageRepository is
used for remote repositories. The new BootstrapPackageRepository rule
is for defining a bootstrap repository (there will probably be only
the HaikuPorts cross repository) whose packages can be built as needed
via haikuporter.
* Rename DownloadPackage to FetchPackage.
* Define repository HaikuPortsCross.
* HaikuCrossDevel package(s): There are now two sets of packages: A
"stage1" set with the same content as before and a final set
additionally containing the libraries libbe, libnetwork, libpackage.
Those are needed for building the libsolv bootstrap package while for
building them we need other bootstrap packages (ICU, libz).
This is basically all that's required to build a bootstrap Haiku
completely from sources, with a few caveats:
* There's no ICU bootstrap recipe yet (so one has to cheat and use the
prebuilt package ATM).
* Probably doesn't work on Haiku yet (tested on Linux only).
* A 32 bit environment must be used (otherwise building the gcc 2
bootstrap package fails).
* Building with multiple jobs doesn't work yet, since haikuporter uses
common directories for building different packages and there's no
explicit serialization yet.
* Haven't tested the resulting image save for booting it. So it probably
needs a bit more work before it can actually build the final
HaikuPorts packages.
Copy:
* packages: Haiku -> HaikuBootstrap
* images: HaikuImage -> HaikuImageBootstrap
... and remove some unncessary content.
Setting the jam variable HAIKU_BOOTSTRAP_BUILD enables using the
bootstrap files.
