Since systemd 245, IPv6PrivacyExtensions can be set not just per
connection, but also globally for all connection with a configuration
file in /etc/systemd/network.conf.d/.
Since tmpfs has a `noswap` option, use it instead of ramfs. Unlike
ramfs, tmpfs has a limit to its size.
This reverts commit 09b0428128 ("configs/releng/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/etc-pacman.d-gnupg.mount: use ramfs").
Adjust subject name to more closely match what's used in create_ephemeral_pgp_key.
Reduce the certificate validity to two days. These are just temporary
certificates, they will not be used anywhere.
Fixes#196
Options set in xorriso startup files (~/.xorrisorc) could interfere with the xorriso command run by mkarchiso.
For example, if ~root/.xorrisorc contains -dummy on, then the ISO file will be empty.
Pass -no_rc as the first option to xorriso to prevent interference and unintended behavior.
Fixes#153.
Since `_build_buildmode_netboot` runs `_build_iso_base` which runs
`_prepare_airootfs_image`, the call to `_cms_sign_artifact` in
`_build_buildmode_netboot` can be removed.
Fixes#197
`-r` will instruct to delete the working directory at the end of a
`mkarchiso` run.
If the specified directory already exists, then it will not be deleted
and instead produce a warning.
Implements #211
When restarting an interrupted build, SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH needs to be
available before `profiledef.sh` is read, since it may reference it.
Fixes 7c6f266ec9
It will be replaced with the ISO's modification date in UTC, i.e.
its "UUID".
This allows to replace `archisolabel=%ARCHISO_LABEL%` with
`archisodevice=UUID=%ARCHISO_UUID%` in boot loader configurations.

* Use LZMA extreme compression level,
* enable experimental compressed fragments feature to create a smaller image,
* enable experimental data deduplication.
This decreases the baseline profile's `airootfs.erofs` size by about ~16 MiB.
1) wait for network-online.target before invoking curl
as there's no synchronization with network setup for this script
2) don't hide curl errors - it may be easier to debug the issues
3) add log and comments
configs/{baseline,releng}/grub/grub.cfg:
Use `console` as grub's `terminal_output`, as with `gfxterm` only a blank screen is shown on some hardware.
Fixes#212
Convert the file to reStructuredText markup.
Fixes#39.
Rewrite the instructions where possible or otherwise update them.
E.g. fix the changed boot loader paths, etc.
The "Manual formatting (BIOS only)", previosly "PC-BIOS (ISOHYBRID-MBR)",
method is not tested and it is not clear if it still even works.
This allows to reduce the number of top-level directories by one and
matches with the GRUB directory move.
Most boot loader related things will now be in the /boot/ directory.
Fixes#207
To prevent the file from being accidentally missed when someone copies
the ISO's contents, let's not place it in a directory that starts with a
dot. Since all GRUB related files are in /boot/grub/, put it there too.
Instead of using a more unique UUID for the file name, use
`YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid` which matches the ISO's modification date
in UTC,i.e. its "UUID". If multiple ISOs would be generated in the exact
same second, the ISO 9660 modification date (i.e. its "UUID") would be
the same, so there would be not way to distinguish between the volumes
anyway. This also makes the file look less suspicious to the casual
glance.
Add all variables that we replace with values in configuration files.
Keep `${isofs_dir}/${install_dir}/grubenv` with fewer variables for
backwards compatibility. It will be removed in the future.
The `grub.cfg` embedded in the GRUB binaries already sets `ARCHISO_HINT`
and `ARCHISO_UUID` in most cases. To avoid performing the same searches
multiple times, use the existing variables.
Move the location of GRUB files so that there is boot-platform
(BIOS vs EFI) neutral place for GRUB-specific files (e.g. configuration
files, background images, etc.).
The EFI binaries are obviosly staying in the default/fallback boot path
`/EFI/BOOT/BOOT*.EFI`, otherwise there will be no UEFI booting.
The /boot/grub/ directory will be used to store BIOS (i386-pc) GRUB
bootsector images, if we get to that.
It is also a requirement for implementing `loopback.cfg` support, since
the file's path must be `/boot/grub/loopback.cfg`.
Implements #206
Instruct the embeded grub.cfg to search for a volume with a
`/.disk/%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%.uuid` file and load `/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg`
from it.
This avoid duplicating GRUB configuration files in two places (ISO 9660
and FAT) and ensures there is no confusion about which is the _correct_
configuration file.
Since nothing besides EFI binaries is copied to `efibootimg`, the
`_make_common_bootmode_grub_copy_to_efibootimg` function is removed.
Fixes#208
Move memtest86+ to `/boot/memtest86+/` on ISO 9660. That directory is
not copied to netboot artifact output.
Netboot boot menu https://ipxe.archlinux.org/releng/netboot/archlinux.ipxe
does not have entries for memtest and archiso-manager removes these files
(not the EFI one, though) before uploading the release files anyway.
