* Use LZMA extreme compression level,
* enable experimental compressed fragments feature to create a smaller image,
* enable experimental data deduplication.
This decreases the baseline profile's `airootfs.erofs` size by about ~16 MiB.

configs/{baseline,releng}/grub/grub.cfg:
Use `console` as grub's `terminal_output`, as with `gfxterm` only a blank screen is shown on some hardware.
Fixes #212
|
|
Use the shorter and more nicer looking `UUID=` *tags* instead of the
`/dev/disk/by-uuid/` paths.
This requires mkinitcpio-archiso v68.

To prevent the file from being accidentally missed when someone copies
the ISO's contents, let's not place it in a directory that starts with a
dot. Since all GRUB related files are in /boot/grub/, put it there too.
Instead of using a more unique UUID for the file name, use
`YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid` which matches the ISO's modification date
in UTC,i.e. its "UUID". If multiple ISOs would be generated in the exact
same second, the ISO 9660 modification date (i.e. its "UUID") would be
the same, so there would be not way to distinguish between the volumes
anyway. This also makes the file look less suspicious to the casual
glance.

embedded grub.cfg
The `grub.cfg` embedded in the GRUB binaries already sets `ARCHISO_HINT`
and `ARCHISO_UUID` in most cases. To avoid performing the same searches
multiple times, use the existing variables.
|
|
Ensure the **correct** date is used in `iso_label` and `iso_version`.

Update /etc/ssh/sshd_config to match changes made in

and https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/7166713c55002dac3c2b306fdc63e89a412083a6
The only modification remains `PermitRootLogin yes`.

There are claims that some UEFI allegedly natively support NTFS.
Preload the required GRUB modules to support booting from NTFS on such
systems.
Additionally preload the exFAT and UEF modules, because, why not?

volume it's on
Search for `/.disk/%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%.uuid` and pass the UUID of the
volume it's on as `archisodevice`. mkarchiso will replace
`%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%` with a hardcoded value generated using
`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` durring ISO build.
This allows to prepare an UEFI bootable installation medium by simply
copying the directory structure without having to touch `grub.cfg`.
Relying on the volume UUID instead of its LABEL also avoids collisions
of multiple ISOs created in the same month.
Fixes #202

Now that xz 5.4 is out and erofs-utils is built with LZMA support, it is
possible to compress the EROFS image with LZMA for higher compression.
`mkfs.erofs` trows a few warnings about using experimental features, but
they should not be an issue.
Nothing changes for the releng profile, for now at least.

The default is now copytoram=auto which enables copying to RAM when the rootfs image size is less than 4 GiB and free RAM exceeds the rootfs image size + 2 GiB.
See https://gitlab.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso/-/issues/13 and https://gitlab.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso/-/merge_requests/26.
Implements #177.

airootfs_image_tool_options for mkfs.erofs
As the man page says, it saves more space, although the feature is experimental.

The glibc 2.35-6 package ships with the C.UTF-8 locale included.
This means there is now a UTF-8 locale available by default and en_US.UTF-8, which requires editing /etc/locale.gen and running locale-gen, is not needed anymore.
Implements #175.

When booting the ISO, you can observe a message that systemd-gpt-auto-generator has failed:
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Reading EFI variable /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: open("/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f") failed: No such file or directory
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: EFI loader partition unknown, exiting.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: (The boot loader did not set EFI variable LoaderDevicePartUUID.)
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Failed to open device: No such device
Seeing as it started to appear relatively recently, it may be a systemd bug.
Since we do not want any GPT partition automounting in the live environment anyway, systemd-gpt-auto-generator can simply be disabled.
Fixes #164.

[DHCPv6] to [IPv6AcceptRA]
systemd moved the option. See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/8ebafba9f987c21aa5787c8767f2e390b4ec0bc5 .
Implements #123.
Document in comments why the route metrics need to be set (because of https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17698 ) and use the same metric values as NetworkManager. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/blob/main/src/core/devices/nm-device.c
Additionally remove RouteMetric from configs/baseline/airootfs/etc/systemd/network/20-ethernet.network.
There is only one networkd configuration file in baseline, meaning, there are no other routes.

Now that pacman 6 is around, enable parallel downloads to speed up the installation

EROFS, like Squashfs, is a read-only file system. It can be used to store airootfs in an image file.
Its advantage is the support for POSIX ACLs. EROFS downside is that currently it only supports LZ4 compression (LZMA support is not yet fully implemented).
A difference from Squashfs is that, EROFS stores change time (ctime) not modification time (mtime). The reverse is true for Squashfs.

This gets rid of the duplicate ldlinux.c32 and the useless isolinux.cfg which only points to syslinux.cfg.

profiledef.sh can now contain an associative array called file_permissions which can be used to set custom ownership and mode of custom airootfs files. The array's keys contain the path and the value is a colon separated list of owner UID, owner GID and access mode.
For example:
file_permissions=(
["/etc/shadow"]="0:0:400"
)
This means that mkarchiso now copies airootfs files (and directores) without permissions and anything that should be owned by a user other than root and/or if the mode should be something other than 644 for files and 755 for directories must to be listed in ${file_permission[@]} in profiledef.sh.
Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/61 .

configs/{baseline,releng}/build.sh:
Remove `build.sh` scripts. They were deprecated with v47.
archiso/mkarchiso:
Remove all `build.sh` related functionality (i.e. `command_pkglist()`, `command_iso()`, `command_prepare()`,
`command_install()`, `command_init()`, `command_run()`).
Rename `command_build_profile()` to `_build_profile()` to be more in line with the style of the other function naming.
Change `_show_config()` to only print info about the profile and make no more use of parameters.
Remove all help output related to legacy `build.sh` commands.
Fixes #51

Slightly simplifies adding boot loader configuration for more kernels.
Unfortunately the INCLUDE statement doesn't support wildcards, so each new file must be manually included in the main syslinux configuration file (syslinux.cfg for baseline and archiso_sys.cfg for releng).

This is a breaking change. archweb, archiso-manager and various documentation must be updated.
