* nl6720/no-mount:
mkarchiso: ensure there are no existing image files before trying to create them
mkarchiso: copy files to ext4 image using mkfs.ext4's -d option instead of mounting the file system
This could prevent a few issues when creating an image file when re-running mkarchiso after a failure.
Remove useless test before running rm -f. The command will always succeed.
mkfs.ext4 with its -d option can "copy the contents of the given directory into the root directory of the filesystem".
This allows to get rid of the last directly used mount and umount commands in mkarchiso.
Additionally try to make the ext4 image somewhat reproducible by setting E2FSPROGS_FAKE_TIME to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, clearing the UUID and using a reproducible hash seed.
See https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git/commit/?id=e1f7100643a46456be107b33098f6034b0835e6d .
Place mkfs.ext4 options in an array to avoid duplicating the command.
Related to #40.
Makefile:
Remove all code specific to mkinitcpio-archiso.
Allow overriding PREFIX (defaults to /usr/local).
Gather scripts to check more generically.
Add abstractions for installation directories.
README.rst:
Remove note on installing the initcpio scripts as they now reside in a separate project.
Fix codeblock describing how to boot into the ISO from grub.
archiso/initcpio/*:
Remove mkinitcpio-archiso scripts as they have been split out into a separate project.
docs/README.{altbootmethods,bootparams}:
Remove mkinitcpio-archiso specific documentation.
* Merge _make_efi_dir_on_iso9660 into _make_bootmode_uefi-x64.systemd-boot.eltorito since it's specific to that boot mode.
* Split off FAT image creation into _make_efibootimg, so it can be reused by other functions.
* Add/improve comments to better document what the script does.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
Include a gitlab CI yaml file from the ci-scripts repository, that replaces the build-host.sh script and abstracts the
.build target.
Move all variables to top-level as they are useful in all build targets.
Remove unnecessary before_script definitions because they are abstracted away by ci-scripts.
.gitlab/ci/build-inside-vm.sh:
Change the build script to provide the build artifacts and metrics in the top-level output directory.
This goes in line with the soon to be used ci-scripts, allowing code sharing amongst several projects.
.gitlab/ci/build_archiso.sh:
Rename .gitlab/ci/build-inside-vm.sh to .gitlab/ci/build_archiso.sh.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
Rename BUILD_SCRIPT to build_archiso.sh.
archiso/mkarchiso:
Generalize the handling of ucode files (e.g. copying, signing, size calculation) by introducing the global readonly
array of expected ucode names instead of hardcoding them in various functions.
When making use of ucode files in `_make_boot_on_iso9660()`, `_make_bootmode_uef-x86.systemd-boot.esp()` and
`_sign_netboot_artifacts()` create a list of files that is guaranteed to contain existing files.
Fixes#132
Now that pacman 6 is around, enable parallel downloads to speed up the installation
process. Added to the baseline configuration to also improve the pipeline.
