See the "Package Lists" section and the '-E' option to ./build.sh below.
** Package Lists
-For each valid edition, a file named 'packages/packages-<WM>.both' must exist, even if empty
-where: <WM> is 'cli' by default, or:
- <WM> corresponds to the part of the '-E' CLI option after the '/'
-This file lists the packages that are to be installed
-in one specific edition of live system for all architectures;
-but are not shared by other editions and are not coupled to a particular init system
-Files named 'packages-<WM>.<ARCH>' cat exist optionally to specify the packages
-that are to be installed for that same edition but only for specific architectures
- e.g. 'packages-lxde.x86_64'
-All packages/packages-* files must be named in lowercase.
+Each ISO edition is characterized by an init/WMDE pair such as 'OpenRC/LXDE'
+that is optionally passed into the ./build.sh script via the '-E' CLI option
+or 'systemd/cli' by default, and by the architecture(s) that it targets as
+optionally passed into the ./build.sh script via the '-T' CLI option or 'dual' by default.
+The valid INIT/WMDE combinations are specified in the VALID_INITS and VALID_GUIS arrays
+in the ./build.sh script. The valid architectures are''i686' and 'x86_64'.
+The '-T dual' option merely repeats each build stage over each valid architecture.
+During the package installation stage, the following package list files will be loaded
+if they exist and if they correspond to the current target INIT/WMDE/ARCH:
+ 'packages/install-all.all' - loaded for all targets
+ 'packages/install-gui.all' - loaded for all WMDE other than 'cli'
+ 'packages/install-<INIT>.all' - loaded for the corresponding INIT (default 'systemd')
+ 'packages/install-<WMDE>.all' - loaded for the corresponding WMDE (default 'cli')
+ 'packages/install-<INIT>-gui.all' - loaded for the corresponding INIT if WMDE other than 'cli'
+where:
+ <INIT> is any of 'VALID_INITS' and corresponds to the part of the '-E' CLI option before the '/'
+ <WMDE> is any of 'VALID_GUIS' and corresponds to the part of the '-E' CLI option after the '/'
+These files specify the packages that are to be installed into "live" system.
+An analogous set of package list files may exist, named with 'install' replaced by 'cache'.
+ e.g. 'packages/cache-all.all' - cached for all targets
+ e.g. 'packages/cache-gui.all' - cached for all targets if WMDE other than 'cli'
+The packages specified in these files will not be installed into "live" system;
+but will be downloaded and stored in the /isorepo directory on the ISO for offline install.
+As a supplement to any of the above mentioned files named ending with '.all',
+optional files may exist with corresponding names ending with '.<ARCH>'
+to specify the packages intended only for specific architectures.
+ e.g. 'packages/install-lxde.x86_64' - loaded for x86_64 targets if 'lxde' WMDE
+ e.g. 'packages/cache-gui.i686' - cached for i686 targets if WMDE other than 'cli'
+All packages/install-* and packages/cache-* files must be named entirely in lowercase.
