When booting the ISO, you can observe a message that systemd-gpt-auto-generator has failed:
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Reading EFI variable /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: open("/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderDevicePartUUID-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f") failed: No such file or directory
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: EFI loader partition unknown, exiting.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: (The boot loader did not set EFI variable LoaderDevicePartUUID.)
systemd-gpt-auto-generator[197]: Failed to open device: No such device
Seeing as it started to appear relatively recently, it may be a systemd bug.
Since we do not want any GPT partition automounting in the live environment anyway, systemd-gpt-auto-generator can simply be disabled.
Fixes#164.
By default, syslinux interprets TFTP paths as relative to the location of the *.c32 modules, regardless whether a path starts with a slash. Without the `::` that I added to all of these paths, syslinux cannot find these files. It searches for them in /%INSTALL_DIR%/syslinux//%INSTALL_DIR%/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux, etc.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
Set all build steps to be interruptable, so they will be interrupted if a newer commit is pushed on the same branch,
which also triggers CI.
.gitlab-ci.yml:
Install the latest archlinux-keyring before installing anything else.
This is to make sure to not run into outdated keys upon updating, which
is a problem because we can currently not even ensure a keyring that is
valid longer than one month...

move $arch override to before it is used
closes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/163
* initial: arch=""
* _read_profile: packages="${profile}/packages.${arch}"
* _set_overrides: [[ -n "$arch" ]] || arch="$(uname -m)"
$arch is not defined in _read_profile if arch is not defined in profiledef.sh and packages is not updated after _set_overrides
[[ -n "$arch" ]] || arch="$(uname -m)" should be moved from _set_overrides to _read_profile.

The curl --retry-connrefused option is used with not instead of the --retry <num> option to add an extra type of failure to retry on, without --retry <num> it does not retry at all even on a connection refused.

"rescue/installation actions for {grub,refind} should be run from
within a chroot" is a false statement. See --boot-directory of
grub-install and --root of refind-install. (In the case of grub,
there are people that do not use the ugly grub-mkconfig at all.)
* nl6720/more-quiet:
mkarchiso: use mkfs.erofs --quiet in quiet mode
mkarchiso: use mksquashfs -quiet instead of redirecting its stdout to /dev/null
mkarchiso: do not show subdirectory sizes in netboot mode
mkarchiso: redirect command -v output to /dev/null
mkarchiso: silence xorriso's note about SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
mkarchiso: silence mkfs.fat in quiet mode
mksquashfs supports a -quiet option since squashfs-tools 4.4.
Use this option in non-verbose mode instead of redirecting stdout of the whole command to /dev/null.
This allows to have only one instance of mksquashfs in _run_mksquashfs instead of multiple ones in if-then-else.
Related to #148.
The `xorriso -as mkisofs` option `-quiet` is interpreted too late. Use native xorriso option `-report_about SORRY` instead and ensure it is the first option.
Related to #148.
printf is a bash builtin, so by using it an external command can be avoided.
Due to the differences between date(1) and strftime(3), the time zone output will not contain a colon anymore. Fortunately, that is still a supported format according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_offsets_from_UTC .
* nl6720/fix-unbound-variables-in-_validate_options:
mkarchiso: error out of iso and netboot build modes if no boot modes are specified
mkarchiso: split out build mode specific checks from _validate_options to _validate_requirements_buildmode_*
mkarchiso: fix unbound variable errors in _validate_options
