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.
Makefile:
Move shellcheck to a "lint" target and change "check" so that it runs "lint".
This provides a more finer grained control and allows to extend "check" with things beyond just linting.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
Run `make lint` in the lint job.
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.
AUTHORS.rst:
Add list of all direct contributors to the repository.
CONTRIBUTING.rst:
Add basic contribution guidelines, explaining the linter and the license in use.
Closes#7Closes#3
configs/*:
Copy all files that do not need a rename generically (not specifying a destination file name).
Do not rename vmlinuz-linux to vmlinuz or vmlinuz.efi (as this serves no purpose and makes the scripts more
complicated).
Do not rename microcode (i.e. {amd,intel}-ucode.img) when copying them and change all boot loader configuration files
that assume a renamed microcode image.
Add note and link to Arch Linux wiki to state why memtest.bin is renamed to memtest.
Copy license files for {amd,intel}-ucode and memtest more generically by placing them into subdirectories with the same
name as the package (to circumenvent overwriting one other).
Closes#33
configs/{baseline,releng}/build.sh:
Copy custom files to airootfs before installing packages.
Instead of calling `mkarchiso init`, list all required packages in packages.x86_64 and install them all at once with `mkarchiso install`. The mkdir command which `mkarchiso init` performs is now done by make_custom_airootfs.
configs/releng/build.sh:
Don't copy configs/releng/pacman.conf to airootfs, it is only meant to provide a unmodified pacman.conf durring pacstrap. In airootfs, an unmodified /etc/pacman.conf will be installed with the pacman package.
Makefile:
Move shellcheck commands from .gitlab-ci.yml.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
Run `make check`.
Prevent partial upgrades, i.e. use '-Syu'.
Prevent reinstalling already installed packages by using pacman's '--needed' option.
Don't force-download the package database.
archiso/initcpio/install/*:
Setting bash shebang for all scripts and making them comform with shellcheck.
archiso/initcpio/{hooks,script}/*:
Setting ash shebang for all scripts and making them comform with shellcheck (for dash, as shellcheck has no ash specific
ruleset). Essentially the ash based scripts should be POSIX compliant as much as possible to have an easier time
writing, debugging and maintaining them.
Ensuring that variables are not treated as options and introducing variable quoting.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
Integrating shellcheck for initcpio scripts.
Closes#32
/usr/local/bin/Installation_guide:
Add a convenience script which opens the installation guide in lynx.
/etc/motd:
Provide a message with minimal instructions for connecting to internet and inform about the Installation_guide convenience script.
configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_tail.cfg:
APM is old and some motherboard firmwares have removed support for it.
reboot.c32 and poweroff.c32 will not work on such firmwares.
Add a help text to "Reboot" and "Power Off" boot menu entries that warns about requiring APM.
When built with CONFIG_FONT_TER16x32, the Linux kernel includes a TER16x32 font based on ter-i32b from terminus-font. The kernel will automatically choose this font on screen resolutions larger than 1920×1080.
The terminus-font package includes fonts for other character sets, which may be useful during installation.
scripts/run_archiso.sh:
A script to run a built archiso image using qemu.
It can run the image on an emulated BIOS (using seabios) or UEFI (using edk2-ovmf) system.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
Adding scripts/run_archiso.sh to shellcheck call.
Closes#28
It is enough if one network interface is online, there is no need to wait for all of them.
Without this, when connecting with Wi-Fi and leaving Ethernet disconnected, the network-online.target will get unnecessarily delayed.
archiso/mkarchiso:
Calls to _pacman() need to be done with multiple parameters (e.g. array) instead of one string, as string splitting is
not done in that function anymore.
Turning _iso_efi_boot_args from string into an array to have an easier time of passing it to xorriso.
Calling xorriso within the if statements instead of providing -quiet via variable.
Fixing command_install() to provide packages separately to _pacman()
configs/releng/build.sh:
Replacing all newlines when retrieving the packages from packages.x86_64 with spaces so they will be properly provided
to "mkarchiso install".
