In this PR we're adding support for SL Micro 6.2 in our kiwi-builder implementation:

  • Introduces handling of /etc via read-only-root-fs (no longer overlayfs)
  • Removes the patch that we were handling to support non-RPi aarch64 builds with baked in versions

This has been tested on aarch64 with Base, Base-RT, Default, Default-SelfInstall, and RaspberryPi, but it would be great to fully validate on x86_64.

Note that there's two bugs outstanding that will need to be resolved before we GA this:

1. There's an issue with read-only-root-fs when managing /etc in the container when the underlying filesystem is btrfs. I'll raise this in parallel.
2. I tried bumping Kiwi to 10.2.29 but I had a lot of SELinux issues, despite having it in permissive. Leaving it at 10.2.12 works for now.

LGTM, about kiwi upgrade, is there a task somewhere to look more closely into this ? I don't think we want to keep lagging too far behind on kiwi versions

Thanks @nbelouin. I agree with you, let me see if I can run some more tests and see if I can get some assistance from the Kiwi team.

@nbelouin Thanks to Dirk, we figured out how to get 10.2.29 working (latest version of Kiwi) so we should be good to go with this now. Also tested on x86_64.

Is this coming from the official templates? If it doesn't, then I may suggest:

"Encrypted Raw disk for aarch64 with RT kernel"
