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.
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.
2023-05-17README.profile.rst: document %ARCHISO_UUID% and %ARCHISO_SEARCH_FILENAME%nl6720
While their values are not affected by `profiledef.sh` variables, there is no other place to document these *identifiers*.
2023-02-24README.transfer.rst: update instructionsnl6720
Convert the file to reStructuredText markup. Fixes #39. Rewrite the instructions where possible or otherwise update them. E.g. fix the changed boot loader paths, etc. The "Manual formatting (BIOS only)", previosly "PC-BIOS (ISOHYBRID-MBR)", method is not tested and it is not clear if it still even works.

2020-05-30Using edk2-shell for UEFI shellDavid Runge
configs/releng/build.sh: Instead of downloading UDK2018 based edk2 UEFI shell, use the Shell binaries from the edk2-shell package. This effectively makes the use of EFI shell v1 obsolete. configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries/uefi-shell-v*: Renaming UEFI shell entries to match the packaged edk2-shell based UEFI shell binaries. configs/releng/build.sh: Renaming the systemd-boot bootloader entries for UEFI shell (normal and full version) to reflect their file names, which are derived from the binary names in the edk2-shell package. Copying the edk2-shell based UEFI shell binaries for normal efiboot and .iso based "el-torito" efiboot mode. docs/README.build: Adding edk2-shell to the requirements in the documentation, as the package is now used to provide UEFI shell.

2015-12-13add boot params archisoflags= and cow_flags= for mount optionsChristian Hesse
Having files on btrfs subvolumes requires to give mount options. Add boot params archisoflags= and cow_flags= for this purpose. Boot parameters could look like this: ... archisodevice=/dev/sdaX archisoflags=subvolume=isos cow_device=/dev/sdaX cow_flags=subvolume=persist ... Signed-off-by: Christian Hesse <mail@eworm.de>
2015-09-13cleaner boot from loopmounted iso fileAdam Purkrt
Currently, when booting loopmounted iso file, it is necessary to specify not only img_dev and img_loop (which should be sufficient), but also archisolabel or archisodevice. With this patch, archisodevice is directly populated with the correct loop device, and it is not necessary to specify the label when booting from loopmounted iso, which makes for leaner and cleaner grub.cfg.

2014-08-08Reintroduce the possibility to force an architectureLukas Fleischer
Among other things, 36459f3 ([archiso] Drop aitab support, 2014-06-28) removed the possibility to manually set a specific architecture by using kernel parameters. This, however, is useful, e.g. when installing Arch Linux on a device that reports itself as i586 but works fine with the i686 flavor. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <archlinux@cryptocrack.de>
