2024-05-09mkarchiso: do not place the pkglist.x86_64.txt file inside the bootstrap ↵upstreamMasternl6720
tarball's root.x86_64 directory Keep it inside the archive, but separate from the `root.x86_64` directory to avoid polluting it.
2024-05-04mkarchiso: fix check for microcode update files in initramfs imagesnl6720
The existence of a ``early_cpio`` file is not enough since mkinitcpio can and will place other files in the early uncompressed CPIO even when the microcode hook is not used. Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/231

2024-04-19configs/releng/profiledef.sh: change UEFI boot loader from GRUB to systemd-bootnl6720
While using GRUB as the UEFI boot loader has reduced the size of the ISO, it has brought nothing but pain otherwise: * We cannot use `gfxterm` since it is not visible on some hardware. * GRUB has a a strange and nonsensical limitation where the EFI binary can be built with either support for shim or custom Secure Boot key support, but not both. This means you cannot repack the ISO to use shim + MOK since we currently use `--disable-shim-lock` to provide support for setups with custom keys. * GRUB's EFI binary needs to be built with `grub-mkstandalone` instead of there being a ready made EFI binary in the package. This requires having grub installed on the host system which affects reproducibility. This increases the size of the ISO since systemd-boot cannot boot files from other volumes, i.e. the kernel and initramfs is duplicated in the EFI system partition (the second partition made from `efiboot.img`). Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/227
2024-04-19configs/: replace archisodevice boot parameter with archisosearchuuidnl6720
`archisosearchuuid=` first searches for a matching UUID. If that fails, then it mounts and looks for a `/boot/${archisosearchuuid}.uuid` file in all detected block devices (in whatever order `blkid` lists them). This implements "file system transposition" without relaying on boot loader specific features and does not tie us to GRUB anymore. Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso/-/merge_requests/48 Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/217
2024-04-19configs/releng/: use mkinitcpio's microcode hook instead of external ↵nl6720
microcode images This simplifies boot loader configuration, but custom PXE setups will be forced to update theirs. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/226
2024-04-19configs/releng/profiledef.sh: use zstd compression for bootstrap imagenl6720
The zstd tool has now been around for a while, so the availability of it should not be a concern anymore. Unlike gzip which was used until now, zstd offers higher compression while still being faster (and multi-threaded). The `--auto-threads=logical` option is used just so that there is some difference between the releng and baseline profiles. Everyone using the official Arch Linux bootstrap tarball (previously `archlinux-bootstrap-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64.tar.gz` or `archlinux-bootstrap-x86_64.tar.gz`) will need to update their scripts and etc. to use `archlinux-bootstrap-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64.tar.zst` or `archlinux-bootstrap-x86_64.tar.zst` instead. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/130
2024-04-01mkarchiso: fix requirement validation logic for uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltoritonl6720
`uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito` has the same requirements as `uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp`, not the same as `uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp`. Fixes: 5e72546e89024a9e8095c75be6ca86312f5c376a ("mkarchiso: add uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp and uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito boot modes")
2024-04-01Add configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries/03-archiso-x86_64-memtest86+.confnl6720
Create a boot entry for Memtest86+. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/228
2024-04-01mkarchiso: copy Memtest86+ for uefi-x64.systemd-boot.* boot modesnl6720
If the Memtest86+ EFI binary exists, copy it to the EFI system partition (`efiboot.img`) and also to ISO 9660. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/228
2024-03-30Add changelog for 76nl6720
2024-03-30configs/*/profiledef.sh: set bootstrap_tarball_compressionnl6720
* bootstrap will use .tar.zst with `zstd -c -T0 --long -19`, * releng will retain .tar.gz with `gzip -cn9` for now. This will later be changed as part of https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/130.
2024-03-30mkarchiso: implement configurable bootstrap tarball compressionnl6720
profiledef.sh gains a new option `bootstrap_tarball_compression` which is a bash array containing the compression program and its arguments. Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/130.
2024-03-26mkarchiso: skip including external microcode images if the initramfs file ↵nl6720
contains early_cpio The early uncompressed CPIO archive containing microcode update files can be part of the initramfs file. To avoid wasting space, first check if the initramfs file contains `early_cpio` and only copy external microcode initramfs images if it does not.
2024-03-24mkarchiso: move /boot/grub/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid to ↵nl6720
/boot/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid Once mkinitcpio-archiso implements searching for the file in early userspace, this file's use will not be limited to just GRUB. Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/217
2024-02-20Revert "mkarchiso: unset LANGUAGE"nl6720
Starting with glibc 2.39, LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 overrides LANGUAGE, just like LC_ALL=C. See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16621 for details. This reverts commit 6ac22309530f3aa07a2b638ccde419a3a509f50c.
2024-02-17Makefile: build and install the mkarchiso(1) man pagenl6720
rst2man from python-docutils is required to convert the man page from reStructuredText.

2024-01-20configs/releng/profiledef.sh: replace "CD" with "DVD" in iso_applicationnl6720
Starting with kernel 6.7, the releng ISO exceeds 900 MiB which is the maximum size of a CD. Adjust the description to say "DVD" instead. Closes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/144
2024-01-18mkarchiso: update memtest86+ license file locationnl6720
The licenses package does not ship `/usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt` anymore, which results in: /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt': No such file or directory Use its replacement, `/usr/share/licenses/spdx/GPL-2.0-only.txt` instead. Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/225
2024-01-05configs/releng/packages.x86_64: explicitly add ldnsnl6720
Currently the ldns package is pulled in as a dependency of openssh, but that dependency may be gone in the future. See https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/openssh/-/issues/2 Explicitly include ldns to ensure the live environment will continue to have `drill`.

2023-12-21mkarchiso: add missing replacement for ARCHISO_UUID in ↵nl6720
/loader/entries/*.conf on ISO 9660 Fixes: 094afd169a0ff871eb7a6b37d68a9b9bcb7195e4 ("mkarchiso: support %ARCHISO_UUID% variable in boot loader configuration")
2023-12-09configs/*/airootfs/etc/systemd/network/: add RequiredForOnline=routablenl6720
By default systemd-networkd-wait-online.service considers a network connection to be "online" when it has reached the "degraded" state (see networkctl(1) for the definitions). Since "degraded" does not ensure there's a routable address, let's change the connection's requirement to "routable" instead. This gives a better chance that the network really is online when network-online.target is reached.

2023-09-28Add configs/*/grub/loopback.cfgnl6720
See https://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg for details. Only `${iso_path}` is guaranteed, so we need to search for the volume, on which the ISO file resides, ourselves. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/165
2023-09-24mkarchiso: add uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp and ↵nl6720
uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito boot modes The systemd 254.2-1 package ships with IA32 systemd-boot, so it is possible to use for booting on IA32 UEFI. Perhaps they will be useful in the future. At least for now, the baseline and releng profiles are not changed to use them. When the issues and headaches caused with GRUB reach a critical point, then we will switch.
2023-09-24configs/releng/packages.x86_64: add boltnl6720
bolt can be used to list and authorize Thunderbolt and USB4 devices. Inspired by https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=288731 where a user needed to install the package in the live environment.

2023-08-26Move custom sshd_config to /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/nl6720
openssh 9.4p1-2 changed /etc/ssh/sshd_config to add support for drop-in files in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/. Using drop-in files avoids needing to keep up with changes to the default /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
2023-08-26configs/releng/packages.x86_64: add tpm2-toolsnl6720
The tools are useful for clearing, creating and reading keys and etc. on the TPM.
2023-08-11Set IPv6PrivacyExtensions=yes in global systemd-netorkd configurationnl6720
Since systemd 245, IPv6PrivacyExtensions can be set not just per connection, but also globally for all connection with a configuration file in /etc/systemd/network.conf.d/.
2023-08-05configs/releng/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/etc-pacman.d-gnupg.mount: use ↵nl6720
tmpfs with noswap option Since tmpfs has a `noswap` option, use it instead of ramfs. Unlike ramfs, tmpfs has a limit to its size. This reverts commit 09b0428128700f37bd465eb54c6e45f69c17617d ("configs/releng/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/etc-pacman.d-gnupg.mount: use ramfs").
2023-06-21configs/: move custom mkinitcpio.conf files to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/nl6720
This allows to retain a pristine /etc/mkinitcpio.conf in the rootfs.
2023-06-15mkarchiso: prevent interference from xorriso startup filesnl6720
Options set in xorriso startup files (~/.xorrisorc) could interfere with the xorriso command run by mkarchiso. For example, if ~root/.xorrisorc contains -dummy on, then the ISO file will be empty. Pass -no_rc as the first option to xorriso to prevent interference and unintended behavior. Fixes #153.
2023-06-01mkarchiso: run _cms_sign_artifact only oncenl6720
Since `_build_buildmode_netboot` runs `_build_iso_base` which runs `_prepare_airootfs_image`, the call to `_cms_sign_artifact` in `_build_buildmode_netboot` can be removed. Fixes #197

2023-05-17mkarchiso: read SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH from file earlynl6720
When restarting an interrupted build, SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH needs to be available before `profiledef.sh` is read, since it may reference it. Fixes 7c6f266ec94e3eff23466ed8d0c45e4bee0ddae4
