When using tmpfs, it is possible that parts of it end up getting put in swap space (only if there is one).
This may not be desired, so use ramfs instead.
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.
* virtualbox-guest-utils-nox package and vboxservice.service for VirtualBox.
* qemu-guest-agent package and qemu-guest-agent.service for QEMU & libvirt.
Implements #118.
configs/releng/airootfs/etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf:
Reduce the amount mirrors that reflector checks from 70 to 20.
This significantly reduces the time it takes to end up with an up-to-date mirrorlist during boot with the releng
profile.
Fixes#92
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.

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.

/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.
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.
configs/releng/airootfs/etc/systemd/network/20-{ethernet,wirless}.network:
Making sure that systemd-networkd enables DHCP capabilities also for
IPv6 ('DHCP=yes' and unsetting IPv6AcceptRA - see `man 5
systemd.network` for further information).
Closes#23
