- Update to 24.3:
* Check for $HOME environment variable as well
* Look for $USER for the username before reading /etc/passwd
* completion: fix bash completion script
* Add some documentation on how to implement a new distribution
* Add missing init.py to mkosi/initrd/resources
* Handle dangling symlinks in rmtree() and run_clean()
* Handle failure to detect the distribution in test_parse_config()
* The default kernel command line of `console=ttyS0` (or equivalent for
other architectures) has been removed. The required `console=`
argument to have the kernel output to the serial console has to be
added manually from `v24` onwards.
* Support for installing local packages located in directories in
`BuildSources=` was dropped. Instead, the packages can be made
available for installation via `PackageManagerTrees=`.
* Configuration parsing was reworked to remove the need for the `@`
specifier and to streamline building multiple images with
`mkosi.images/`. If you were building multiple images with
`mkosi.images/`, you'll need to adapt your configuration to the
rework. Read the **Building multiple images** section in the
documentation for more information.
* mkosi has gained the option to generate completion scripts for bash,
fish and zsh. Packagers should generate the scripts during packaging
and ship them in the appropriate places.
* Added support for CentOS Stream 10.
* mkosi now installs a separate `mkosi-initrd` script that can be used
to build initramfs images intended for use on the local system.
- Distribution configuration is installed in /usr/lib/mkosi-initrd.
- Custom configuration can be added in /etc/mkosi-initrd.
- See mkosi-initrd(1) for more information.
* We do not automatically append `centos-stream` or `fedora` anymore to
CentOS (and derivatives) and Fedora mirrors specified with `Mirror=`
as not all mirrors store the repository metadata under these
subdirectories. Users are now required to add these subdirectories
themselves in `Mirror=`. If the EPEL repositories are enabled for
CentOS Stream (and derivatives) and `Mirror=` is used, we look for the
EPEL repositories in `../fedora` relative to the mirror specified in
`Mirror=`.
* We now support compressed tar archives wherever we already accept tar
archives as input.
* We now always rerun the build if `Format=none` and don't remove
previous outputs in that case (unless `--force` is specified). This
allows using `mkosi -t none` to rerun the build scripts without
removing the previous image. This can then be combined with
`RuntimeBuildSources=yes` to make the build script outputs available
in a booted container or virtual machine so they can be installed
without having to rebuild the image.
* We now use `virtconsole` to provide the serial console when booting
with `qemu`.
* `root=PARTUUID` and `mount.usr=PARTUUID` on the kernel command line
are now automatically extended with the actual PARTUUID of the
corresponding partition.
* All available OpenSUSE repositories are now supported and can be
enabled with `Repositories=`.
* Building OpenSUSE `aarch64` images is now supported
* `mkosi dependencies` was beefed up to handle more scenarios properly
* The default list of kernel modules that are always added to the
initramfs was extended with various virtualization modules.
* Added a `Repositories=` match.
* Cached images are now invalidated if packages specified via
`PackageDirectories=` change.
* Added `VolatilePackageDirectories=` which can be used to provide local
packages that do not invalidate cached images.
* `mkosi.pkgmngr` is now used as the default path for
`PackageManagerTrees=`.
* The package directory that build scripts can use to make built
packages available for installation (`$PACKAGEDIR`) is now shared
between all image builds. This means that packages built in earlier
images and stored in `$PACKAGEDIR` become available for installation
in all subsequent image builds.
* The default tools tree distribution is now chosen based on the host
distribution instead of the target distribution.
* mkosi can now be invoked from the initramfs.
