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.

configs/releng/packages.x86_64:
Add usbmuxd to list of packages, so that users have the option to use iOS devices out-of-the-box for data connection
during installation.
Fixes#99
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 .
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.

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
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
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).
**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
Boot mode names are:
- bios_syslinux.mbr: SYSLINUX in MBR
- bios.syslinux.eltorito: SYSLINUX (ISOLINUX) via El Torito
- uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp: systemd-boot on ESP in MBR
- uefi-x64.systemd-boot.eltorito: systemd-boot on ESP via El Torito
It is not yet possible to create an ISO with only El Torito or only MBR boot modes!
An ISO's checksum and GPG validation primarily matters when PXE booting, so it would be appropriate to enable these options for releng.
They should protect against booting a corrupt image.
configs/releng/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/reflector.service:
Use the 70 mirrors synced most recently (--latest) instead of a specific time since last sync (--age).
According to FS#67399 using 1hour as sync age is too short, as it sometimes leads to empty list.
configs/releng/airootfs/etc/fstab:
/etc/fstab shipped by the filesystem package has only comments. There is no reason to replace it with an empty file.
configs/releng/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/default.target:
There is no harm in booting to graphical.target. releng does not enable (or even install) any service that has {Required,Wanted}By=graphical.target.
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.

Add list of all direct contributors to the repository.
