Allows to preconfigure common commands so that they can be accessed by just pressing
the up arrow key or searched with ctrl+r.
Move the "setkmap" command (which was previously hardcoded into .bash_history) into
100-defaults.yaml, allowing it to be overridden.
Example config:
sysconfig:
bash_history:
100: "setkmap"
200: "reverse_ssh support.example.com 1234"
The Mapping / dict key is used for lexicographic reverse-ordering of the entries. Reverse-ordering
means the lowest key will show up first when pressing the up arrow key.
Given some circumstances like matching IDs and partition setup, systemd-gpt-auto-generator
will auto-mount specially marked partitions. This would interfere with SystemRescue and also
go against the no-automount policy of SystemRescue.
So remove systemd-gpt-auto-generator during build.
Configuring the nofirewall option by the sysrescue-initialize script must be done before the ip6?tables service.
Configuring the firewall should be finished before beginning to initialize the network.
But the rest of sysrescue-initialize should still be done in parallel to networking
being set up for a fast boot sequence. Also some services in sysrescue-initialize require
networking being online, for example load_srm with a remote url.
The proper way to accommodate all these needs is to split sysrescue:
sysrescue-initialize-prenet: must be finished before the network-pre.target
sysrescue-initialize-whilenet: started after sysrescue-initialize-prenet, can run in parallel
to networking being set up.
- call yay through a wrapper to take care of root/sudo handling
- add yay-prepare to reinstall everything that was stripped for size (like /usr/include)
- yay-prepare creates a yay user and sudo rights
- the wrapper is installed in /usr/bin/yay, we want it to clash with yay-packages that aren't adapted to SystemRescue
The binutils package is installed in SystemRescue for some time, so actually use it.
The busybox ar is inferior to the binutils one, causing problems when building
some packages with yay.
Qt 5 and 6 package translation files for common widgets that programs
can opt to use. These translation files take up about 2 MB of the final
iso image.
When the translations are removed, qt is designed to show messages
in the default language, English.
SystemRescue currently contains 2 programs using qt5 and qt6. I
tested both with the default en_US.UTF-8 and custom de_DE.UTF-8 locales:
featherpad: contains it's own complete translation. It's UI uses the
configured locale and it works regardless if the qt-translations are
installed or not.
yubikey-personalization-gui: doesn't use the translations at all and
is always shown in English. Removing the qt translations doesn't change
anything.
So programs coming with SystemRescue by default aren't affected. Also
other qt programs the user could install won't be affected. Only if the
user also changes the default locale, parts of some programs might be
now shown in English, like many other parts of SystemRescue that don't
come with translations.
The KeepassXC documentation takes up 5 MB of final iso image size.
This is quite excessive.
Removing the documentation doesn't impair program usage. The documentation
can easily be accessed online from the KeepassXC website, it is directly
linked in the help menu.
Initializing the pacman key database during boot can take considerable time
and there is no locking during this time against concurrent file access.
This can lead to problems when installing packages soon after reboot.
This also speeds up the boot process.
Additional disk space requirement is about 1 MByte.
Fixes#290
Before this patch sysrescue-configuration.lua was executed twice each boot:
(1) during initramfs stage (2) in the regular system as sysrescue-configuration.service
While in theory both runs should create the same output, this isn't guaranteed and
differences could appear for example because of network issues. Finding and debugging
these is difficult because the output of sysrescue-configuration.lua created during
initramfs isn't available anymore when the final system is running.
This patch lets sysrescue-configuration.lua just run once during initramfs. The
output JSON file is then written to the new tmpfs mounted dir /run/archiso/config/.
This dir is also made the new default location for sysrescue-effective-config.json.
A symlink from /etc/sysrescue/sysrescue-effective-config.json to the new location
is created for compatibility with previous releases.
When the correct keyboard map is not set yet, it might be difficult for the user
to type in the command. This way they just have to press the arrow up key to reach it.
Fixes#273
The ldconfig service ("Rebuild Dynamic Linker Cache") updates /etc/ld.so.cache when it is
older than some preconfigured age. This increases boot time, especially when airootfs is
on a slower media, like a DVD-ROM drive or NFS. Since System Rescue doesn't change over time,
keeping the original file from release is fine.
This prevents huge dependency downloads by pacman when the SystemRescue version gets older
by using a snapshot repo from the day the SystemRescue version is released.
The classic rolling repos from Arch are also available as option. Activate with the
"--config /etc/pacman-rolling.conf" option to pacman.
To allow switching on a per-command basis, two different sets of remote package databases
are required. But the local package database must be the same for both variants. This
is achived by using two different DBPaths in the pacman config files and bind-mounting
the local part together. pacman does not accept symlinks for this, so it must be a bind mount.
Quiet ("hushed") login disables email check, last login printing and message of the
day. Neither of these are useful for SystemRescue. Arch's default configuration
(/etc/login.defs) only allows per user setting (~/.hushlogin).
* Following upstream archiso
* NetworkManager stays as default in SystemRescueCd
* Explicitly symlink /etc/resolv.conf to /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf
to make clear NetworkManager is in charge
