.gitlab/ci/build-host.sh:
Add script to be run in a container with access to qemu.
It is a slight modification of arch-boxes' build-host.sh script to cater to the specific archiso requirements.
.gitlab/ci/build-inside-vm.sh:
Add script to be run in virtualized environment, established by build-host.sh.
This script builds the actual archiso profiles and creates checksum for the resulting image files.
After pacman-mirrorlist is installed, /etc/pacman.d/hooks/uncomment-mirrors.hook will run a sed command which uncomments all Server lines in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.
This brings us another step closer to the complete removal of customize_airootfs.sh.
Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/21 .
Booting via PXE we want to keep our DNS configuration. So remove
/etc/resolv.conf in new root before copying the current file.
Without this systemd-resolved fallback nameservers are used and we see an
error message when the root ships a symbolic link to systemd-resolved's
stub-resolv.conf:
cp: not writing through dangling symlink '/new_root/etc/resolv.conf'
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.
Usage: Launch run_archiso.sh -v ..., and then use a VNC viewer
(e.g. from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications/Internet#Remote_desktop)
to connect (typically to `localhost`) on the default VNC port (5900).
This enables using run_archiso in a "headless" session; e.g. when SSH logged in
to the CLI of a VM, without a local display attached. This is handy e.g. when
playing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inception and running an archlinux*.iso
on any non-Arch (say Fedora workstation), on which one built a new ISO, that you
then "run_archiso", inside which you could build another ISO, which you could
itself start inside the nested VM... ;-)
Jokes apart, this could also be used to run automated CI/CD tests of the built ISO,
which is particularly interesting in combination with the cloud-init support;
see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cloud-init.

archiso/mkarchiso:
Make sure to always compare absolute paths in `_make_custom_airootfs()` (as `realpath` is used).
Remove `echo` calls that prevent the setting of actual file ownerships and modes.
configs/releng/profiledef.sh:
Set file mode of /root/.automated_script.sh to 755.
Fixes#82
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 ${file_permission[@]} in profiledef.sh.
Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/61 .
archiso/mkarchiso:
Guard the call to `_mksignature()` in `_prepare_airootfs_image()` by an if statement.
Using the `&&` logic leads to `_prepare_airootfs_image()` evaluating to false if `$gpg_key` is not set.
Add `_msg_info()` calls to `_set_override()` which prevent the function from evaluating to false if no override is
being done. Additionally this is great for debugging purposes.
Add `_msg_info()` calls to `_read_profile()` (which is great for debugging purposes).
Fixes#81
- Remove remnants of the now removed legacy commands.
- Improve readability by getting rid of some "if" statements when performing string comparisons.
- Rename functions to make their purpose more clear.
- Move some conditions from functions to their invocations.
- fatresize is a utility to resize FAT filesystems using libparted.
- gpart is partition table rescue/guessing tool.
- tmux is a terminal multiplexer. Requested in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68252 .
configs/releng/efiboot/loader/loader.conf,
configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_sys.cfg:
Set the bootloader timeout to 15s, as they have been set to an overly generous 30s in !79.
Fixes#80
scripts/run_archiso.sh:
Add the `-a` option flag to add accessibility support on demand for `run_archiso`.
Add accessibility specific options to qemu in `run_image()`.
Not providing the specific braille chardev hardware otherwise blocks running run_archiso with
`qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev braille,id=brltty: brlapi__openConnection: connect: No such file or directory`.
Fixes#77
configs/releng/airootfs/usr/local/bin/livecd-sound:
Replace oldstyle expr with a bash test in `is_numeric()`.
Replace use of `nword()` with call to `wc -w`.
Quote variables in `pick_a_card()`.
Fixes#78
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
README.profile.rst:
Add information on all necessary components of a profile:
* profiledef.sh
* packages.arch
* airootfs/
* efiboot/
* isolinux/
* syslinux/
Fix wording for pacman.conf documentation
README.rst:
Add a link to README.profile.rst.
