* Hasn't been used for quite some time
* Everything was ported over to a new ATA stack
some time ago.
* No huge regressions were seen from the new ATA
stack.
* The app_server isn't designed to support two fallback drivers, so
on systems using UEFI to boot, the framebuffer driver will often
win when other drivers would likely work on those systems.
* Enables us to add an optional EFI filesystem
to the anyboot image.
* All existing anyboot behaviour is preserved.
* We still need to figure out how to build bios
and EFI loaders at the same time on x86.
* The tiny "fake ISO" still needs el-torito
alt-boot for the EFI loader to work when burned
to a CD. This makes the EFI loader work when
written to a hard disk / flash drive.
This is separate to the VESA driver, as the VESA driver requires
using the VBE BIOS. Under UEFI, we don't have the VBE BIOS, nor
are we able to switch modes after leaving UEFI Boot Services, so
a dumb framebuffer driver seemed like the easier way to approach
the problem.
The framebuffer & vesa drivers now test for the presence of the
VESA_MODES_BOOT_INFO boot item to distinguish between which driver
to use. Also added check for the VESA mode count to determine
whether to add the VESA_MODES_BOOT_INFO item.
UEFI video updated to explicitly zero out the VESA and EDID
boot data.
- B_TRIM_DEVICE on a ram disk frees all requested pages. Reading from a
trimmed page returns all 0s. This can be used with fstrim to release
memory for the parts not used by the filesystem, without unregistering
then registering the device.
- Add icon and ioctl to get it.
- Add it to the image, because it works reasonably well and there is no
reason not to include it.
The boot still crashes some time later, but at least it is easier to
test now.
- PackageFS included in the net boot archive
- Tell the system it is booted "from image" when netbooting
- Add subfolder src/kits/debugger which contains the debugger's core
functionality and lower layers. Correspondingly add headers/private/debugger
for shared headers to be used by clients such as the Debugger application
and eventual remote_debug_server. Adjust various files to account for
differences as a result of the split and moves.
- Add libdebugger.so to minimal Jamfile.
* Use BUrlProtocolRoster instead of BFileRequest.
* Removed HTTPMediaIO custom code that now inherits
BAdapterIO and make the whole thing more simple.
* It work with some formats (flv, mp3, mkv) but ffmpeg fail
on others (mp4, 3gp).
* GetSize needs improvements.
* Previous enablement broke gcc2 and hybrid builds
* gcc2 builds fixed and tested working now
* Fix Hybrid builds via missing MultiArch Jam
* Sorry for the noise, enjoy early Bluetooth support
So people aren't tempted to make .pkg files for x86_64/ARM/etc, and
because there should be no reason to have it there.

This is a squash of the 42 commits by @mshlyn, as I couldn't find a
way to break them into logical chunks. I did not include these in the build,
as it appears that they only partially work anyway, and much more cleanup is
still needed. However, this is a huge improvement on what was in the tree
before, which looked horrendous and didn't even compile (as it was designed
for the old stack).
Mostly fixes#812.
* The same mechanism (and the same PostInstallScript) is used for this.
* If a file first_login exists in ~/config/settings/boot, the first-login
scripts are launched, and the file removed.
* This fixes adding the deskbar tray icons even when there is no Deskbar
running yet (for example on first boot when the FirstBootPrompt
starts), or, IOW bug #12275.
This can be used by scripts to do verious performance measurements.
Specifically it can be used to measure the boot time since it represents
the uptime.
* This directory is for services that are launched per user (in a user
context), but installed globally.
* This is now used for the default "user" configuration; before this was
put into ~/config/non-packaged/data/launch, which didn't really fit,
and has the huge disadvantage that it cannot be updated.
* Fixes part of #12227.
* Instead of launching Tracker/Deskbar directly, we now launch the
Login application.
* This will now start a new session for the selected user (the password
is currently ignored).
* When a user session is started, the launch_daemon forks, and the
child then restarts the LaunchDaemon application in user mode.
* It then registers itself with its parent, in order to resolve user
dependent services.
* Added a user launch file that will cause Tracker, and Deskbar to
start in the new session.
* Added initializing /tmp & /var/shared_memory to the launch_daemon.
* Moved clockconfig.cpp code into the launch_daemon.
* This follows systemd design; since those jobs are fixed, it doesn't
matter where you maintain them.
* The init jobs are BJobs, but the JobQueue is only used for that
one use for now. At a later time, I intend to put the job launching
in there, as well. BJob allows to represent the dependencies already.
* This is actually working already, although we cannot reproduce all
the features of the former Bootscript yet. This is without any
dependency support in launch_daemon.
* All shell activity like cleaning out /tmp, setting up the environment,
setting the time, etc. is not yet working.
