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.
Unlike make 3.80, make 3.82 makes a call to putenv which does not exist
in mes libc so a stub was created for this function.
The checksum for the util-linux package required an update.
When built with original make 3.80 it resulted in an extra file
/usr/share/man/man8/.8 that does not exist when building with 3.82
- Rather than defining the urls where they are gotten (python sysa,
python sysc, inside sysc), a spec file is now used that is easily
interpretable and tool-independent.
- This is interpreted by rootfs.py and inside sysc.
- This is also used to make sources available and extract sources.
- Manual dirname selection is no longer required as is tarball renaming
upon download - all of this is handled automatically.
Fixes#188
