  • Remove requirement on setting a Boot mode when building a netboot image

[58] - 2021-08-25

Added

  • Add support for gpg's --sender option

Changed

  • Change the way mkarchiso uses ext4 images to copying files to it directly instead of mounting (this action now does not require elevated privileges anymore)

  • Update the sshd configuration to be compatible with openssh 8.7p1
  • Overhaul the used gpg options
  • Fix use of potentially unbound variables
  • Refactor the validation functions to have fewer large functions and less code duplication

Removed

[57] - 2021-07-30

Added

  • Add a missing line in the systemd-networkd-wait-online.service in the baseline profile

Changed

  • Adapt systemd-networkd configuration to systemd ≥ 249
  • Improve documentation in mkarchiso and systemd-networkd related configuration files
  • Fix an issue that may prevent continuing an aborted build of the netboot or iso buildmode

Removed

  • Remove SPDX license identifier from files that are not eligible for copyright (e.g. configuration files)

[56.1] - 2021-07-11

Added

Changed

  • Simplify gitlab CI setup by using ci-scripts (shared amongst several projects)
  • Fix an issue with the unsetting of environment variables before using pacstrap/arch-chroot
  • Remove termite-terminfo from the releng profile's list of packages (it is not in the official repositories anymore)
  • Set LC_ALL instead of LANG

[56] - 2021-07-01

Added

  • Add pacman >= 6 compatible configuration
  • Add documentation for the script boot parameter

Changed

  • Clear environment variables before working in chroot
  • Update Arch Wiki URLs
  • Pass SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to chroot
  • Enable parallel downloads in profile pacman configurations
  • Generalize the approach of interacting with ucode images
  • Execute the netboot build mode for the baseline profile in CI

[55] - 2021-06-01

Added

  • Add integration for pv when using the copytoram boot parameter so that progress on copying the image to RAM is shown
  • Add experimental support for EROFS by using it for the rootfs image in the baseline profile

Changed

  • Change information on IRC channel, as Arch Linux moved to Libera Chat
  • Fix a regression, that would prevent network interfaces to be configured under certain circumstances

[54] - 2021-05-13

Added

  • Add the concept of buildmodes to mkarchiso, which allows for building more than the default .iso artifact (sequentially)
  • Add support to mkarchiso and both baseline and releng profiles for building a bootstrap image (a compressed bootstrapped Arch Linux environment), by using the new buildmode bootstrap
  • Add support to mkarchiso and both baseline and releng profiles for building artifacts required for netboot with iPXE (optionally allowing codesigning on the artifacts), by using the new buildmode netboot
  • Add qemu-guest-agent and virtualbox-guest-utils-nox to the releng profile and enable their services by default to allow interaction between hypervisor and virtual machine if the installation medium is booted in a virtualized environment

Changed

  • Always use the .sig file extension when signing the rootfs image, as that is how mkinitcpio-archiso expects it
  • Fix for CI and run_archiso scripts to be compatible with QEMU >= 6.0
  • Increase robustness of CI by granting more time to reach the first prompt
  • Change CI to build all available buildmodes of the baseline and releng profiles (baseline's netboot is currently excluded due to a bug)
  • Install all implicitly installed packages explicitly for the releng profile
  • Install keyrings more generically when using pacman-init.service
  • Consolidate CI scripts so that they may be shared between the archiso, arch-boxes and releng project in the future and expose their configuration with the help of environment variables

[53] - 2021-05-01

Added

  • Add ISO name to grubenv
  • Add further metrics to CI, so that number of packages and further image sizes can be tracked
  • Add IMAGE_ID and IMAGE_VERSION to /etc/os-release

Changed

  • Revert to an invalid GPT for greater hardware compatibility
  • Fix CI scripts and initcpio script to comply with stricter shellcheck
  • Fix an issue where writing to /etc/machine-id might override a file outside of the build directory

  • Increase default serial baud rate to 115200
  • Remove deprecated documentation and format existing documentation

  • Add scripts for CI to build the baseline and releng profiles automatically

Changed

  • Change upstream URL in vendored profiles to archlinux.org
  • Reduce the amount of sed calls in mkarchiso
