Changelog

[XX] - YYYY-MM-DD

Added

Changed

Removed

[67] - 2022-09-25

Added

  • The ability to generate rootfs signatures using openssl CMS module if -c is given.

Changed

  • Order pacman-init.service before archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service since archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service needs an initialized pacman keyring.
  • Order pacman-init.service after time-sync.target since pacman-init.service may otherwise create local signatures that are not valid on target systems after installation.

[66] - 2022-08-28

Added

  • Add efibootimg to mkarchiso to abstract the FAT image path.
  • Unset LANGUAGE since LC_ALL=C.UTF-8, unlike LC_ALL=C, does not override LANGUAGE.
  • Copy all files from the grub directory to ISO9660 and the FAT image, not just only grub.cfg.
  • Touching /usr/lib/clock-epoch to to help systemd with screwed or broken RTC.

Changed

  • Disable GRUB's shim_lock verifier and preload more modules. This allows reusing the GRUB EFI binaries when repacking the ISO to support Secure Boot with custom signatures.

[65] - 2022-06-30

Added

  • Configure the locale for the baseline profile to C.UTF-8 so that a UTF-8 locale is used.
  • Add uefi-x64.grub.esp and uefi-x64.grub.eltorito boot mode to support x86_64 UEFI boot on x86_64 machines.
  • Use mkfs.erofs's ztailpacking option in the baseline profile to reduce the image size.

Changed

  • Change the releng profile's locale from en_US.UTF-8 to C.UTF-8.
  • Set LC_ALL to C.UTF-8 instead of C in mkarchiso since it is now available and non-UTF-8 locales should be avoided.

Removed

  • Remove the custom pacman hook that ran locale-gen on glibc install from the releng profile. The used locale now ships with the glibc package itself.

[64] - 2022-05-30

Added

  • Add uefi-ia32.grub.esp boot mode to support IA32 UEFI boot on x86_64 machines.
  • Add GRUB configuration files to profiles.
  • Add accessible copytoram entry.
  • Enable beeps in systemd-boot menu.

Changed

  • Fix systemd-boot menu entry sorting by using the sort-key option.

[63] - 2022-04-30

Added

  • Add dmidecode to the list of packages in the releng profile.
  • Add open-iscsi to the list of packages in the releng profile to allow installing Arch on an iSCSI target.
  • Add open-vm-tools and hyperv to the list of packages and enable their services to provide better integration with the VMware and Hyper-V hypervisors.

Changed

  • Mount /etc/pacman.d/gnupg on ramfs instead of tmpfs to ensure its contents never land in swap.
  • Configure reflector to return only mirrors that support both IPv4 and IPv6.

[62.1] - 2022-04-05

Removed

  • Easter egg

[62] - 2022-03-31

Changed

  • Fix the PXE support. PXELINUX was having trouble finding the kernel and initrds. Now, archiso forces syslinux to interpret all TFTP paths as absolute. That seems to have solved the issue.
  • Disable systemd-gpt-auto-generator, which we do not need, in both baseline and releng profiles. It avoids the error message about it failing during boot.

[61] - 2022-01-31

Added

  • Add linux-firmware-marvell to the list of packages in the releng profile (e.g. for Surface Pro 6 WiFi support)
  • Add documentation to systemd-networkd configuration files
  • Add information about the use of changelog and merge requests to the contributing guidelines
  • Make the CI pipelines more efficient by automatically cancelling running pipelines if they are superseded by a newer commit and by only running build pipelines on code or profile changes

Changed

  • Fix an issue where mkarchiso is failing to raise an error when the mmd and mcopy commands are not found
  • Fix an issue where the architecture detection in mkarchiso fails due to an unset arch variable in the profile

Removed

[60] - 2021-12-28

Added

  • Add BB8E6F1B81CF0BB301D74D1CBF425A01E68B38EF in the Releases section of the README, giving maintainer power to nl6720.

Changed

  • Show a more descriptive message when no code signing certificate is used

Removed

  • Remove unused archiso_shutdown hook from the releng profile's mkinitcpio config

[59] - 2021-11-30

Added

  • Add mailmap file for easier author integration with git
  • Add grub and refind to the package list of the releng profile

Changed

  • Replace use of date with printf
  • Silence command output more efficiently when using --quiet
  • Modify curl call to retry up to ten times before giving up on downloading an automated script

Removed

  • 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)
  • Add version files when using netboot buildmode as well
  • 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
