- Moved the ``pkglist.x86_64.txt`` file outside the bootstrap tarball's ``root.x86_64`` directly to avoid polluting the
root file system.
- Use 4 MiB OVMF files in ``run_archiso`` instead of the old 2 MiB ones.
+- Increase the additional free space of the EFI partition size from 1 MiB to 8 MiB to account for file system overhead
+ when using FAT32 (needs less than 1 MiB) and to give more space for adding custom files when repacking an ISO (e.g.
+ when preparing it for Secure Boot).
Deprecated
