This reverts commit d1ad9e1ea2.
The empty directory `local_packages` was there for a reason.
`simple-cdd` gives a warning when this directory doesn't exist:
WARNING local package source /home/kali/live-build-config/simple-cdd/local_packages is neither a file nor a directory
So re-instate this empty dir to keep the logs clean.
I assume that `variant-minimal` was also there for a good reason.
This reverts commit 50a06be454.
This commit was needed only in order to include the package in the
2021.3a Kali images. Not needed anymore, and not needed to build 2021.4.
This reverts commit aaf1a294ee.
The arm64 version of openvm-tools-desktop is still hiding in kali-experimental
so adding it in now would break the ISO builds.
Now that the open-vm-tools package supports arm64 and VMWare fusion is available for the M1 Macbooks, lets make sure that open-vm-tools-desktop is also available for arm64.
This is a temporary fix to be able to build fixed netinst
images for 2021.3 but in the long term, we need to move the
firmware dependencies to a dedicated package to avoid that kind
of issue.
Relates to #36.
« XRDP is what enables Hyper-V's Enhanced session mode. It also enables
Hyper-V to automatically connect via RDP, which is what fixes input

Big thanks to @jetbennett for the detailed report. For more context:

By default, when you don't have any network or when you didn't enable
a network mirror, your sources.list is empty. We don't want this
so we hook into the finish-install step to make sure to set it up
if it's empty.
In theory, this change is not really needed here because the
package is not installed by d-i, it's already installed by live-build
in the live image. But I want this file to be consistent with the
version in debian-installer...
the theme needs explicitly applying for submenus otherwise they are just
displayed with a default layout with a black background.
with the theme setting commands moved to a separate file, we can now
simply `source` that into each submenu.
this of course assumes that live-theme/theme.txt is suitable for submenus.
as done in upstream live-build MR #135.
the intention here is to prepare to fix application of the theme for submenus,
as addressed next.
we could accomplish that just by the theme.cfg portion of the split, but why
not do the config.cfg bit also now. this is similar to how syslinux is broken
up, and a part of the live-build MR #135 changes are to merge config/bootloader
files on top of the default set, rather than use them instead, thus
user/derivative configs only need to carry the bootloader files they actually
want to replace. breaking up grub.cfg helps towards this, so eventually kali
can drop carrying files that are identical to upstream ilve-build's.
live-build commit 24aab15d2a133075992ce3a216b1c3476dc7bd4c has added
generation of speech synth entries. this ensures that with the next
release of live-build, the kali one is not added as a duplicate.
we have to take a different approach here than for syslinux. the approach
relies upon an expectation that in the next live-build release the grub
config will include an install.cfg file containing install entries, like
syslinux, as a result of changes awaiting merge in MR #135 ([1]).

note that live-build commit a25b77e0998ac455b48c8c523a08bd282229fb49
removes "video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr" from the entries it generates, so lack of
that is deliberate should you later compare the differences and wonder
about it.
ref: debian bug #775128
done in live-build auto-generated menu entries back in v5.0a3 for syslinux
(ba6b9adeff634845a9ab7cbd5218257a7aa254ab). was missing for grub entries
until a33938f8d47f23c23335ecf671b1db9afcd0b726 and
aadf8c4cacecc4664412c6bbc7b8e039e1dd772a.
The default installer image now includes the packages for all the
options available in tasksel during initial installation, so all
the kali-linux-* except kali-linux-everything and most of the
kali-desktop-*.
The lack of "locales" resulted in a non-configured locales on initial
installation. The lack of eject means the ISO is never ejected at the
end of the installation. The lack of pciutils/usbutils likely has other
bad consequences.
It adds no value over the current setup. IIRC it was there to enable
completion by default but it's already enabled by default nowadays.
Also fixes the permission on /root as reported in
