2023-02-27Add changelog for 70nl6720
2023-02-27Add changelog entry for terminal_output fixDavid Runge
2023-02-27Use console as grub's terminal_outputDavid Runge
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
2023-02-24configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: replace /dev/disk/by-uuid/ with UUID=nl6720
Use the shorter and more nicer looking `UUID=` *tags* instead of the `/dev/disk/by-uuid/` paths. This requires mkinitcpio-archiso v68. Related to #202
2023-02-24README.transfer.rst: update instructionsnl6720
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.
2023-02-24Rename docs/README.transfer to docs/README.transfer.rstnl6720
2023-02-24Move SYSLINUX directory from /syslinux/ to /boot/syslinux/nl6720
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
2023-02-24Move the .uuid file to /boot/grub/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuidnl6720
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.
2023-02-24mkarchiso: write grubenv in _make_common_bootmode_grub_cfgnl6720
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.
2023-02-22configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: reuse ARCHISO_HINT and ARCHISO_UUID passed from the ↵nl6720
embedded grub.cfg 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.
2023-02-22Move grub files from /EFI/BOOT/ to /boot/grub/ on ISO 9660nl6720
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
2023-02-22Do not duplicate grub.cfg in efiboot.imgnl6720
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
2023-02-22mkarchiso: add more details to the comment in grub-embed.cfgnl6720
Link to the upstream issue report.
2023-02-22configs/*/profiledef.sh: honor SOURCE_DATE_EPOCHnl6720
Ensure the **correct** date is used in `iso_label` and `iso_version`.
2023-02-10mkarchiso: do not place memtest86+ in netboot artifactsnl6720
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.
2023-02-07configs/*/airootfs/etc/ssh/sshd_config: update to match 9.2p1-1nl6720
Update /etc/ssh/sshd_config to match changes made in https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/42aa04744e96c5805b7aa3904636f8cbd781f682 and https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/7166713c55002dac3c2b306fdc63e89a412083a6 The only modification remains `PermitRootLogin yes`.
2023-02-02Preload GRUB's NTFS, exFAT and UDF modulesnl6720
There are claims that some UEFI allegedly natively support NTFS. Preload the required GRUB modules to support booting from NTFS on such systems. Additionally preload the exFAT and UEF modules, because, why not?
2023-02-02configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: search for a .uuid file in /.disk/ and use the ↵nl6720
volume it's on Search for `/.disk/%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%.uuid` and pass the UUID of the volume it's on as `archisodevice`. mkarchiso will replace `%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%` with a hardcoded value generated using `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` durring ISO build. This allows to prepare an UEFI bootable installation medium by simply copying the directory structure without having to touch `grub.cfg`. Relying on the volume UUID instead of its LABEL also avoids collisions of multiple ISOs created in the same month. Fixes #202
2023-02-02mkarchiso: write a .uuid file to /.disk/ on ISO 9660 to allow GRUB to search ↵nl6720
for it Create a `/.disk/INSERT_UUID_HERE.uuid` file to implement something called "file system transposition". See https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg34346.html for the proposal of it for grub-mkrescue. This will allow GRUB to search for the volume containing the file instead of hardcoding the ISO volume label or another file system or partition attribute in GRUB configuration. By only relying on the directory structure simplifies supporting medium preparation methods with manual partitioning such as https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB_flash_installation_medium#In_GNU/Linux_4

2022-12-22fix typo in README.profile.rstAlexander Speshilov
2022-12-22archiso/mkarchiso: write "uninitialized" to /etc/machine-idChristian Hesse
This is a new value introduced in systemd v247. It makes sure a new machine-id is generated, but is handled as first boot as well. See "First Boot Semantics" in machine-id(5) for details.
2022-12-17configs/baseline/profiledef.sh: use LZMA compression for the EROFS imagenl6720
Now that xz 5.4 is out and erofs-utils is built with LZMA support, it is possible to compress the EROFS image with LZMA for higher compression. `mkfs.erofs` trows a few warnings about using experimental features, but they should not be an issue. Nothing changes for the releng profile, for now at least.
2022-12-10configs/releng/syslinux/archiso_pxe-linux.cfg: replace checksum and verify ↵nl6720
with cms_verify=y Specify `cms_verify=y` in SYSLINUX/PXELINUX configuration to use OpenSSL CMS based method for verifying the root file system image against the code signing certificates in the initramfs. `checksum` and `verify` are removed since they essentially serve the same purpose and performing all the checks just needlessly delays boot. Additionally, the removal of `verify` allows to build the ISO without gpg, i.e. without using `mkarchiso`'s `-g` and `-G` options. Fixes #200
2022-12-10mkarchiso: check if the code signing files specified with option -c existnl6720
Look for the files in `*_validate_options` and error out early if they do not exist.
2022-12-06mkarchiso: open the ARCHISO_GNUPG_FD, ARCHISO_TLS_FD and ARCHISO_TLSCA_FD ↵nl6720
file descriptors only for reading Nothing should ever be written to these files, so let's make sure it cannot happen.
2022-12-06mkarchiso: do not try to use an non existent GPG public key filenl6720
The `bootstrap` build mode never calls `_export_gpg_publickey`, so even if the GPG key is passed with the `-g` option and thus the `gpg_key` variable is set, the `${work_dir}/pubkey.gpg` file will not exist. This has not caused any issue so far because the `ARCHISO_GNUPG_FD` file descriptor opens the file for both reading and writing, which means the file gets created if it does not exist. Assign the exported public key file name to a `gpg_publickey` variable in `_export_gpg_publickey` and check for it when the file is used. Since the exist status of the gpg command cannot be checked, look for the exported public key file instead.
2022-12-06mkarchiso: disable shellcheck warning when searching an arraynl6720
The warning about SC2076 does not apply here.

Implements #203.
2022-11-12configs/releng/airootfs/root/.zlogin: use grep -a to ensure /proc/cmdline is ↵nl6720
treated as text This protects against the case where /proc/cmdline contains garbage triggering grep to think it is a binary. See e.g. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/76468 for an example.

2022-10-25configs/releng/airootfs/etc/mkinitcpio.conf: replace the deprecated ↵nl6720
archiso_kms hook with kms The archiso_kms hook was moved from mkinitcpio-archiso to the mkinitcpio project. See https://github.com/archlinux/mkinitcpio/commit/7bfe4861eacb3bf6cb70d9a17a0262542733a8ed and https://gitlab.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso/-/commit/dec17db5324285118e2faee296cc990ff1281bd8
2022-10-22configs/: remove "Copy to RAM" boot entries since it is automatic nownl6720
The default is now copytoram=auto which enables copying to RAM when the rootfs image size is less than 4 GiB and free RAM exceeds the rootfs image size + 2 GiB. See https://gitlab.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso/-/issues/13 and https://gitlab.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso/-/merge_requests/26. Implements #177.
2022-10-13mkarchiso: do not sign .sig filesnl6720
Make sure existing sig files are deleted before creating new ones and make sure to not sign any sig files. This allows retrying failed mkarchiso runs without ending up with files such as vmlinuz.ipxe.sig.ipxe.sig. Fixes #198
2022-10-06configs/: Do not explicitly enable qemu-guest-agent.servicenl6720
qemu-guest-agent.service will be started by the /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-qemu-guest-agent.rules udev rule. Fixes #199

README.rst: Change referenced PGP key ID from `C7E7849466FE2358343588377258734B41C31549` to `991F6E3F0765CF6295888586139B09DA5BF0D338`, as the latter is now in used. The keys are cross-signed and both available via Arch Linux's WKD.
2022-09-25Add the ability to generate rootfs signatures using openssl CMS module if ↵Anton Hvornum
``-c`` is given. (gitlab ci) Added a CA structure to the codesigning certificates. This to test the functionality of optional CA being in the signing message. (mkarchiso) Removed the ``sign_netboot_artifacts`` variable and instead we'll now rely on ``if [[ -v cert_list ]]; then``. Added ``ARCHISO_TLS_FD`` and ``ARCHISO_TLSCA_FD`` environment variables to override the certificates used. This is so that third party CA's can be used during building in a meaningful way without distrupting the CA trust that is shipped by default. _cms_sign_artifact() was added which signs the rootfs using OpenSSL CMS. The files will be saved as "${artifact}.cms.sig". That would be for instance "${isofs_dir}/${install_dir}/${arch}/airootfs.sfs.cms.sig".
