- Export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH before mkarchiso so label, volume UUID,
file mtimes and ext4 hash seed trace to one timestamp.
- Post-build step: assert blkid UUID of the ISO matches every
/boot/<uuid>.uuid stem and archisosearchuuid= reference inside
shipped boot configs, and that no %ARCHISO% placeholder remains.
- After upload: re-hash local ISOs, size-check API assets, download
each back from the internal origin (bypasses traefik/Anubis) with
percent-encoded filenames (iso_name contains a space), compare
SHA-256. Definitive corruption (missing/size/sha mismatch) deletes
the release; transport/API errors fail without deleting.
The GITEA_TOKEN lacks 'lfs' scope, causing the LFS batch API to reject
uploads. Upload .zst files directly as release assets via the Gitea API
instead. This eliminates git-lfs, the separate releases repo, and all
LFS-related plumbing.
- Add CI step to create /dev/stdin symlinks before ISO build
(Docker/container environments may lack these, causing mkinitcpio to fail)
- Remove stock linux kernel from packages.x86_64 (linux-cachyos is the
intended kernel; dual-kernel causes boot confusion and doubles build time)
Closes #X
Create a matching git tag + release in alvinlollo/AlvinArch-releases next to
the main repo release, seed a short README there pointing back to
AlvinArch (workflow status badges on top), and extend release pruning to
the releases repo so both stay capped at 3.
Release assets can no longer be attached directly (Gitea 500 on multi-GB
uploads). Compress each ISO with zstd, push the .zst into
alvinlollo/AlvinArch-releases (releases/<tag>/ on main) via Git LFS, verify
the LFS object server-side by OID, and create the release with a download
link plus SHA-256 checksums instead of a binary attachment.
build-iso:
- Remove -c flag (it takes a pacman.conf path, not a clean flag)
- Use absolute paths for mkarchiso with -- separator
- Copy local-aur.files* alongside local-aur.db*
tests:
- Fix word splitting: use 'while IFS= read -r' instead of
'for f in ' for shell and YAML file loops
- Fix YAML find filter to use -not -path like shell find
Use -- to separate flags from profile path, preventing mkarchiso
from misinterpreting the -w argument as the profile directory.
Also make rm -rf fail-safe with || true.
- Remove yq from packages.x86_64 (conflicts with go-yq)
- Add conflicting packages check step to tests workflow
- Rename 'Scheduled ArchISO Build' to 'Automated Arch ISO Build'
- Add --needed to all pacman install commands to suppress reinstalls
The local-aur repo in pacman.conf points to /home/alvin/alvinarch/localrepo
which only exists on the dev machine. In CI, copy the tracked .pkg.tar.zst
files to /tmp/localrepo and sed the path before building.
The AlvinArch profile lives at the repo root, not in a releng/
subdirectory. The old path caused mkarchiso to fail with:
ERROR: Profile '.../releng' does not exist!
