######### Changelog ######### [XX] - YYYY-MM-DD ================= Added ----- - Add ``uefi-ia32.grub.esp`` boot mode to support IA32 UEFI boot on x86_64 machines. - Add GRUB configuration files to profiles. Changed ------- Removed ------- [63] - 2022-04-30 ================= Added ----- - Add dmidecode to the list of packages in the releng profile. - Add open-iscsi to the list of packages in the releng profile to allow installing Arch on an iSCSI target. - Add open-vm-tools and hyperv to the list of packages and enable their services to provide better integration with the VMware and Hyper-V hypervisors. Changed ------- - Mount /etc/pacman.d/gnupg on ramfs instead of tmpfs to ensure its contents never land in swap. - Configure reflector to return only mirrors that support both IPv4 and IPv6. [62.1] - 2022-04-05 =================== Removed ------- - Easter egg [62] - 2022-03-31 ================= Changed ------- - Fix the PXE support. PXELINUX was having trouble finding the kernel and initrds. Now, archiso forces syslinux to interpret all TFTP paths as absolute. That seems to have solved the issue. - Disable systemd-gpt-auto-generator, which we do not need, in both baseline and releng profiles. It avoids the error message about it failing during boot. [61] - 2022-01-31 ================= Added ----- - Add linux-firmware-marvell to the list of packages in the releng profile (e.g. for Surface Pro 6 WiFi support) - Add documentation to systemd-networkd configuration files - Add information about the use of changelog and merge requests to the contributing guidelines - Make the CI pipelines more efficient by automatically cancelling running pipelines if they are superseded by a newer commit and by only running build pipelines on code or profile changes Changed ------- - Fix an issue where mkarchiso is failing to raise an error when the ``mmd`` and ``mcopy`` commands are not found - Fix an issue where the architecture detection in mkarchiso fails due to an unset ``arch`` variable in the profile Removed ------- [60] - 2021-12-28 ================= Added ----- - Add `BB8E6F1B81CF0BB301D74D1CBF425A01E68B38EF` in the Releases section of the README, giving maintainer power to nl6720. Changed ------- - Show a more descriptive message when no code signing certificate is used Removed ------- - Remove unused archiso_shutdown hook from the releng profile's mkinitcpio config [59] - 2021-11-30 ================= Added ----- -

Add support for ``gpg``'s ``--sender`` option Changed ------- - Change the way ``mkarchiso`` uses ext4 images to copying files to it directly instead of mounting (this action now does not require elevated privileges anymore) - Add version files when using ``netboot`` buildmode as well - Update the sshd configuration to be compatible with openssh 8.7p1 - Overhaul the used ``gpg`` options - Fix use of potentially unbound variables - Refactor the validation functions to have fewer large functions and less code duplication Removed ------- - Remove all files related to ``mkinitcpio`` integration, as they now live in https://gitlab.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso [57] - 2021-07-30 ================= Added ----- - Add a missing line in the systemd-networkd-wait-online.service in the baseline profile Changed ------- - Adapt systemd-networkd configuration to systemd ≥ 249 - Improve documentation in ``mkarchiso`` and systemd-networkd related configuration files - Fix an issue that may prevent continuing an aborted build of the ``netboot`` or ``iso`` buildmode Removed ------- - Remove SPDX license identifier from files that are not eligible for copyright (e.g. configuration files) [56.1] - 2021-07-11 =================== Added ----- Changed ------- - Simplify gitlab CI setup by using ci-scripts (shared amongst several projects) - Fix an issue with the unsetting of environment variables before using pacstrap/arch-chroot - Remove termite-terminfo from the releng profile's list of packages (it is not in the official repositories anymore) - Set LC_ALL instead of LANG [56] - 2021-07-01 ================= Added ----- - Add pacman >= 6 compatible configuration - Add documentation for the `script` boot parameter Changed ------- - Clear environment variables before working in chroot - Update Arch Wiki URLs - Pass SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to chroot - Enable parallel downloads in profile pacman configurations - Generalize the approach of interacting with ucode images - Execute the netboot build mode for the baseline profile in CI [55] - 2021-06-01 ================= Added ----- - Add integration for pv when using the copytoram boot parameter so that progress on copying the image to RAM is shown - Add experimental support for EROFS by using it for the rootfs image in the baseline profile Changed ------- - Change information on IRC channel, as Arch Linux moved to Libera Chat - Fix a regression, that would prevent network interfaces to be configured under certain circumstances [54] - 2021-05-13 ================= Added ----- - Add the concept of buildmodes to mkarchiso, which allows for building more than the default .iso artifact (sequentially) - Add support to mkarchiso and both baseline and releng profiles for building a bootstrap image (a compressed bootstrapped Arch Linux environment), by using the new buildmode `bootstrap` - Add support to mkarchiso and both baseline and releng profiles for building artifacts required for netboot with iPXE (optionally allowing codesigning on the artifacts), by using the new buildmode `netboot` - Add qemu-guest-agent and virtualbox-guest-utils-nox to the releng profile and enable their services by default to allow interaction between hypervisor and virtual machine if the installation medium is booted in a virtualized environment Changed ------- - Always use the .sig file extension when signing the rootfs image, as that is how mkinitcpio-archiso expects it - Fix for CI and run_archiso scripts to be compatible with QEMU >= 6.0 - Increase robustness of CI by granting more time to reach the first prompt - Change CI to build all available buildmodes of the baseline and releng profiles (baseline's netboot is currently excluded due to a bug) - Install all implicitly installed packages explicitly for the releng profile - Install keyrings more generically when using pacman-init.service - Consolidate CI scripts so that they may be shared between the archiso, arch-boxes and releng project in the future and expose their configuration with the help of environment variables [53] - 2021-05-01 ================= Added ----- - Add ISO name to grubenv - Add further metrics to CI, so that number of packages and further image sizes can be tracked - Add IMAGE_ID and IMAGE_VERSION to /etc/os-release Changed ------- -
