2021-01-26mkarchiso: add version informationChristian Hesse
To date the iso version was used for iso volume information and iso file name. In my custom builds I do use it a lot more: * Inside the root fs: The system knows about its own version. I use this to: -> report the version to a server (poor man's inventory) -> let the system update itself * On the iso fs: The files are served via rsync, running systems transfer version file first to check for available update. * A grub environment file on the iso fs: Booting the iso from grub allows to create cow directory per version: loopback loop archlinux.iso load_env -f (loop)/arch/grubenv linux (loop)/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux ... \ cow_directory=archlinux/${VERSION} ... So let's just create these files.

2020-09-02Create directories and copy files to the FAT image using mtools instead of ↵nl6720
mounting the file system - mtools supports SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. - The image file is operated on directly instead of mounting the file system. This is a prerequisite to limit the commands that run with root privileges. Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/40 . - Add a reminder comment to not get rid of the dosfstools dependency, since a mformat made FAT image can fail to boot on some systems.
2020-08-25Pass profile directory as parameter to mkarchisoDavid Runge
**archiso/mkarchiso**: Change all override option parameters (i.e. `-A`, `-C`, `-D`, `-L`, `-P` and `-g`) to not directly override the global variable they are tied to, but instead using an `override_` prefixed variable. Add `_set_overrides()` to use `override_` prefixed variables (if set) to override those without a prefix. Remove `-B` (a profile directory) from the list of parameters. The profile directory is now provided as separate non-option parameter. Add a call to `_read_profile()`, `_set_overrides()` and `command_build_profile()` to the fallthrough option of the switch-case checking `command_name` - a non-option parameter to mkarchiso. This effectively provides the possibility to set the profile directory using a non-option parameter, while still maintaining compatibility to legacy named arguments used in the configs' `build.sh` scripts. Extend the warning in regards to legacy `build.sh` based commands to mkarchiso by providing an EOL with archiso v49. Change the help output to reflect the changes and further elaborate on the legacy commands used by `build.sh` scripts. Change help output to be ordered alphabetically. Add help output for `-r` and `-g` options. Call `_set_overrides()` for legacy commands that accept one or more of the overriden options (i.e. `command_init`, `command_install`, `command_prepare` and `command_iso`). Various style fixes. **configs/{baseline,releng}/build.sh**: Change call to mkarchiso to use the profile's directory as a named argument instead of an option-argument. **README.rst**: Fix documentation on how to call mkarchiso with a profile directory. Fix wording and ordering of option arguments for run_archiso documentation. Fixes #52

2020-07-29Add license and basic documentationDavid Runge
LICENSE: Add GPL-3.0 license. {{archiso,configs}/*,.editorconfig,.gitlab-ci.yml}: Add SPDX license identifier. Makefile: Add SPDX license identifier. Install the `run_archiso.sh` script as global executable `run_archiso`. Use -D and -t flags to install to install files more generically (without a previous call to install the directory). README.rst: Add README outlining the project's scope, how to build images from the profiles and how to test. AUTHORS.rst: Add list of all direct contributors to the repository. CONTRIBUTING.rst: Add basic contribution guidelines, explaining the linter and the license in use. Closes #7 Closes #3
