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).
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.
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/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.
{configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64-{cd,usb}.conf,configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_{pxe,sys}.cfg}:
Standardizing the boot loader entry format by switching all entries to the form:
"Arch Linux install medium (<CARCH>[, <PROPERTY>])".
This removes the distinction between "CD" and "USB" when booting in UEFI "el-torito" (as the information is not useful).
Changing some of the syslinux help text as well to reflect this change. This also drops the specific <CARCH> from the
syslinux help text as it is duplicated information.
Closes#24
* This scripts, now runs only in x86_64.
* build.sh does not require arguments to run (no more build, clean, purge).
* /usr/share split is not done anymore: there are some differences between two arches. (ISO size +60MiB)
* /usr/lib/modules split is not done anymore: this was never enabled officially in aitab.
Tested and works fine. Maybe some small cosmetic changes needed.

We are only using these files only for SYSLINUX bootloader that supports
".." as directories.
ISOLINUX jumps to archiso.cfg via isolinux.cfg
PXELINUX goes directly to archiso.cfg via DHCP configuration.
Suggested by Thomas.

* In that way we can have two differents syslinux menus depending if booting from
PXE or from non-PXE.
Some file renames are made to keep things ordered:
archiso_pxe* all things related to PXELINUX
archiso_sys* all things related to SYSLINUX
*_inc.cfg only contains INCLUDE directive
* By default NBD PXE option is selected for booting on timeout.
* As (NDB/NFS/HTTP/FTP) server is used the same IP from pxeserver.

* UI is more correct than DEFAULT for simple menu system.
* Remove TIMEOUT
* Remove PROMPT 0, this is the default value.

* In that way, we have unified directory scheme among {pxe,sys,ext,iso}linux,
sharing the same directory structure and config files.
* Also enable IPAPPEND (will show a warning message about unknown directive in non-pxelinux before menu)
NEW:
* Rename syslinux*.cfg -> archiso*.cfg
* Now syslinux.cfg is only a "loadconfig" trick like we are doing for isolinux
* All paths are now relative to %INSTALL_DIR% ($archisobasedir) (Default: /arch/)

* Use device mapper + snapshot module, instead union layer filesystem.
* A block-level approach vs vfs-level.
* No more unofficial (Linux) things.
* More memory is needed.
* Refactor mkarchiso.
* Refactor hooks/archiso.
* Fix install/archiso_pxe_nbd
(due recent change in mkinitcpio-0.6.15 on checked_modules()/all_modules())
[Thanks Dave for the improved workaround]
* New configs/releng to build official images.
* Works with a Bash script instead of Makefile.
(better control and easy to maintain)
* Remove configs/syslinux-iso.
* Remove archiso2dual script. Integrate functionality in configs/releng.
* New configs/baseline to build the most basic live medium or use as template.
* New README (draft). [Thanks Dieter for fixing english grammar]
