By using --cores argument to rootfs.py, JOBS= is set in the
live-bootstrap environment, and -j${JOBS} is used on builds. This speeds
larger packages up significantly.
A fair number of packages do not build properly with parallelism. Most
of these, at least for now, are disabled with -j1.
Environment variables "pollute" the build environment of packages and
can affect their output.
This change results in the removal of some files from packages that
were not meant to be packaged. It also removes the need for a
workaround in automake 1.10.3 to manually remove such files.
Variables are now saved in an .env file for each system and included
in scripts that need them using the dot operation.
Include:
- Not regenerated man pages.
- Automake tarball with bad time (and completely useless).
- Ordering of files within tarballs.
- Resetting timestamp various fixes.
- Older tars not properly overwriting files leading to many issues.
- Weird lack of reproducibility in libtool scripts paths to tools.
