* mkarchiso: support compressing the bootstrap tarball with xznl67202024-08-261-0/+2
| | | | | Despite usually preferring it, I somehow forgot about xz in 3b3984b4843b194ad2353bbd761f75ec8ab1af95 ("mkarchiso: implement configurable bootstrap tarball compression")
* configs/baseline/profiledef.sh: do not use mkfs.erofs extended options ↵nl67202024-08-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | "fragments" and "dedupe" These options are not compatible with multi-threaded compression and actually increase the image file size. With this change, the baseline profile's EROFS image file size is reduced from 488 MiB to 398 MiB. On my system, the compression time is reduced from about 2m6.274s to 1m59.410s when using erofs-utils built without multi-threaded compression and to 0m27.883s when using erofs-utils built with multi-threaded compression.
* mkarchiso: use an empty UUID for EROFSnl67202024-08-211-0/+2
| | | | | | The UUID is never used for anything, since the file system resides in a file. Instead of generating a reproducible UUID for it, use `00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000` instead.
* mkarchiso: make bootstrap tarball extension part of the image_namenl67202024-07-271-0/+2
| | | | | This shows the correct image file name in `_show_config` and simplifies actions with the `image_name` in other functions.
* Add changelog for 79nl67202024-07-241-1/+11

* mkarchiso: remove unneeded workarounds in _mkairootfs_ext4+squashfsnl67202024-06-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | * Do not run `tune2fs` on the image. The file system is not mounted, so the default values for "Maximum mount count" (`tune2fs` option `-c`) and "Check interval" (`tune2fs` option `-i`) are fine as is. With this change the ext4 image is reproducible. * Remove `E2FSPROGS_FAKE_TIME`. e2fsprogs 1.47.1 supports `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` so setting this e2fsprogs specific variable is not needed anymore. See https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/issues/131 for details.
* .automated_script.sh: add proper HTTP status checkingDariusz Pelowski2024-06-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | When a download attempt fails with an HTTP error, the body of the failed request will be written to the output file with a 0 exit status, causing the execution of an error message as a script. This issue is resolved by adding the --fail option to curl. Co-authored-by: David Runge <dvzrv@archlinux.org>

* configs/releng/packages.x86_64: Remove wezterm-terminfoDavid Runge2024-05-221-0/+3
| | | | | | The wezterm-terminfo package is replaced by the ncurses package. Signed-off-by: David Runge <dvzrv@archlinux.org>
* mkarchiso: use FAT32 as early as possiblenl67202024-05-181-0/+1
| | | | | | mkfs.fat selects FAT32 for file systems of at least 512 MiB size, but a FAT32 file system can already be created at 36 MiB size (assuming 512 byte logical sector size).
* configs/releng/airootfs/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/archiso.conf: use xz -9enl67202024-05-181-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use higher compression for the initramfs. Now that mkinitcpio moves the compressed kernel modules and firmware files to the early uncompressed initramfs, we can compress the main initramfs image slightly more without it increasing the built time too much. This will increase the memory required for decompression from 9 MiB to 65 MiB (assuming the kernel's decompressor works the same as the xz tool), but that should not be an issue for any system targeting Arch. This reduces the initramfs size by ~250 KiB, which will save ~500 KiB for the whole ISO.
* mkarchiso: do not pad the ISO when it is not necessarynl67202024-05-181-0/+1
| | | | | If the ISO exceeds the max size of a CD (900 MiB), the 300 KiB padding needed for CDs can be removed.
* mkarchiso: increase the additional free space added to efiboot.imgnl67202024-05-131-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | Less than 1 MiB (but rounded up to one) is needed to account for file and directory entries, especially when using FAT32. Otherwise the ISO build could stop with: Disk full The rest of the increase is to allow more space for adding custom files after the fact, i.e. when repacking the ISO. E.g. for the purposes of adding a signed boot loader for Secure Boot or similar. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot#ISO_repacking
* scripts/run_archiso.sh: use 4 MiB OVMF filesnl67202024-05-091-0/+1
| | | | | Use `OVMF_CODE.4m.fd` and `OVMF_VARS.4m.fd` instead of the old 2 MiB `OVMF_CODE.fd` and `OVMF_VARS.fd`.
* mkarchiso: do not place the pkglist.x86_64.txt file inside the bootstrap ↵nl67202024-05-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | tarball's root.x86_64 directory Keep it inside the archive, but separate from the `root.x86_64` directory to avoid polluting it.
* mkarchiso: fix check for microcode update files in initramfs imagesnl67202024-05-041-0/+4
| | | | | | | | The existence of a ``early_cpio`` file is not enough since mkinitcpio can and will place other files in the early uncompressed CPIO even when the microcode hook is not used. Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/231
* Add changelog for 77nl67202024-04-211-6/+18

* configs/releng/profiledef.sh: change UEFI boot loader from GRUB to systemd-bootnl67202024-04-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While using GRUB as the UEFI boot loader has reduced the size of the ISO, it has brought nothing but pain otherwise: * We cannot use `gfxterm` since it is not visible on some hardware. * GRUB has a a strange and nonsensical limitation where the EFI binary can be built with either support for shim or custom Secure Boot key support, but not both. This means you cannot repack the ISO to use shim + MOK since we currently use `--disable-shim-lock` to provide support for setups with custom keys. * GRUB's EFI binary needs to be built with `grub-mkstandalone` instead of there being a ready made EFI binary in the package. This requires having grub installed on the host system which affects reproducibility. This increases the size of the ISO since systemd-boot cannot boot files from other volumes, i.e. the kernel and initramfs is duplicated in the EFI system partition (the second partition made from `efiboot.img`). Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/227
* configs/: replace archisodevice boot parameter with archisosearchuuidnl67202024-04-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | `archisosearchuuid=` first searches for a matching UUID. If that fails, then it mounts and looks for a `/boot/${archisosearchuuid}.uuid` file in all detected block devices (in whatever order `blkid` lists them). This implements "file system transposition" without relaying on boot loader specific features and does not tie us to GRUB anymore. Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso/-/merge_requests/48 Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/217
* configs/releng/: use mkinitcpio's microcode hook instead of external ↵nl67202024-04-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | microcode images This simplifies boot loader configuration, but custom PXE setups will be forced to update theirs. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/226
* configs/releng/profiledef.sh: use zstd compression for bootstrap imagenl67202024-04-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The zstd tool has now been around for a while, so the availability of it should not be a concern anymore. Unlike gzip which was used until now, zstd offers higher compression while still being faster (and multi-threaded). The `--auto-threads=logical` option is used just so that there is some difference between the releng and baseline profiles. Everyone using the official Arch Linux bootstrap tarball (previously `archlinux-bootstrap-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64.tar.gz` or `archlinux-bootstrap-x86_64.tar.gz`) will need to update their scripts and etc. to use `archlinux-bootstrap-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64.tar.zst` or `archlinux-bootstrap-x86_64.tar.zst` instead. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/130
* mkarchiso: fix requirement validation logic for uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltoritonl67202024-04-011-0/+3
| | | | | | | `uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito` has the same requirements as `uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp`, not the same as `uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp`. Fixes: 5e72546e89024a9e8095c75be6ca86312f5c376a ("mkarchiso: add uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp and uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito boot modes")
* Add configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries/03-archiso-x86_64-memtest86+.confnl67202024-04-011-0/+1
| | | | | | Create a boot entry for Memtest86+. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/228
* mkarchiso: copy Memtest86+ for uefi-x64.systemd-boot.* boot modesnl67202024-04-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | If the Memtest86+ EFI binary exists, copy it to the EFI system partition (`efiboot.img`) and also to ISO 9660. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/228
* Add changelog for 76nl67202024-03-301-6/+18

* configs/*/profiledef.sh: set bootstrap_tarball_compressionnl67202024-03-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | * bootstrap will use .tar.zst with `zstd -c -T0 --long -19`, * releng will retain .tar.gz with `gzip -cn9` for now. This will later be changed as part of https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/130.
* mkarchiso: implement configurable bootstrap tarball compressionnl67202024-03-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | profiledef.sh gains a new option `bootstrap_tarball_compression` which is a bash array containing the compression program and its arguments. Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/130.
* mkarchiso: skip including external microcode images if the initramfs file ↵nl67202024-03-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | contains early_cpio The early uncompressed CPIO archive containing microcode update files can be part of the initramfs file. To avoid wasting space, first check if the initramfs file contains `early_cpio` and only copy external microcode initramfs images if it does not.
* mkarchiso: move /boot/grub/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid to ↵nl67202024-03-241-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | /boot/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid Once mkinitcpio-archiso implements searching for the file in early userspace, this file's use will not be limited to just GRUB. Related to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/217
* Revert "mkarchiso: unset LANGUAGE"nl67202024-02-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Starting with glibc 2.39, LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 overrides LANGUAGE, just like LC_ALL=C. See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16621 for details. This reverts commit 6ac22309530f3aa07a2b638ccde419a3a509f50c.

* configs/releng/profiledef.sh: replace "CD" with "DVD" in iso_applicationnl67202024-01-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Starting with kernel 6.7, the releng ISO exceeds 900 MiB which is the maximum size of a CD. Adjust the description to say "DVD" instead. Closes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/144
* mkarchiso: update memtest86+ license file locationnl67202024-01-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | The licenses package does not ship `/usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt` anymore, which results in: /usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt': No such file or directory Use its replacement, `/usr/share/licenses/spdx/GPL-2.0-only.txt` instead. Fixes https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/225
* configs/releng/packages.x86_64: explicitly add ldnsnl67202024-01-051-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | Currently the ldns package is pulled in as a dependency of openssh, but that dependency may be gone in the future. See https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/openssh/-/issues/2 Explicitly include ldns to ensure the live environment will continue to have `drill`.

* configs/*/airootfs/etc/systemd/network/: add RequiredForOnline=routablenl67202023-12-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | By default systemd-networkd-wait-online.service considers a network connection to be "online" when it has reached the "degraded" state (see networkctl(1) for the definitions). Since "degraded" does not ensure there's a routable address, let's change the connection's requirement to "routable" instead. This gives a better chance that the network really is online when network-online.target is reached.

| | | | | | | | | See https://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg for details. Only `${iso_path}` is guaranteed, so we need to search for the volume, on which the ISO file resides, ourselves. Implements https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/issues/165
* mkarchiso: add uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp and ↵nl67202023-09-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito boot modes The systemd 254.2-1 package ships with IA32 systemd-boot, so it is possible to use for booting on IA32 UEFI. Perhaps they will be useful in the future. At least for now, the baseline and releng profiles are not changed to use them. When the issues and headaches caused with GRUB reach a critical point, then we will switch.
* configs/releng/packages.x86_64: add boltnl67202023-09-241-0/+2
