- profiledef.sh stages airootfs/root/.iso-build-stamp (git/CI gated, falls
back to 'commit unknown'); customize_airootfs.sh installs it as
/etc/alvin-build-stamp; install_motd appends it to the target /etc/motd
- alvin-install: skippable git/GitHub screens with ssh-import-id import
(yay build + python-distro, curl .keys fallback), LUKS Mode A (systemd
sd-encrypt + rd.luks.name) vs Mode B (unl0kr + cryptdevice), TPM2
enrollment via $PASSWORD with rd.luks.options activation, unl0kr
build/verify with Mode-A fallback, login manager none/greetd/sddm/gdm
(enable DM before disabling getty@tty1), autologin per DM (forced off
when TPM enrolled), build-stamp motd; includes the existing
GRUB_DISABLE_BOOTNEXT grub tweak
- review fixes: greetd autologin TOML quoting, .ssh chowned before
ssh-import-id, builtin-aware initramfs module verification across all
installed kernels, curl exit-code split (fetch failure vs no keys),
plain Hyprland on every login path
- add curl to packages.x86_64; document stamp flow and installer in
AGENTS.md/README.md
Two low-severity review findings on 8501a60:
- owner="$(id -u):$(id -g)" as two substitutions only propagates the
last status, so a lone id -u failure would build ':1000' and abort at
the chown with "invalid owner" under the wrong line. Run both ids in
a single arch-chroot sh -c chained with && and join with paste -sd:;
pipefail makes any failure abort at the owner= line. Verified both
paths: existing user yields 1000:1000, missing user trips the ERR
trap before owner is used.
- the ydotool symlink mkdir/ln wrote stderr to the terminal while the
failure warn pointed at $LOG, which never recorded it; redirect both
into the log, matching the bluetooth block.
The end-4 step's chowns ran on the live medium, whose /etc/passwd has
no $USERNAME (the user exists only inside /mnt), so 'chown -R
alvin:alvin' failed with "invalid user" and the ERR trap aborted the
install at line 543. Resolve uid/gid once via arch-chroot id and chown
by number; the three remaining name-based chowns (fork/fish/hypr
restores) would have hit the same wall later.
Replace those three mid-function chowns with one catch-all over the
target home after the last root-side write: sed -i on the presets
rewrites through a temp file, which leaves them root-owned with no
chown after it.
systemctl --user enable ydotool.service could never work inside the
chroot (no /run/user/UID/bus exists before boot; it only ever warned
with "Failed to connect to user scope bus", so ydotool never
autostarted). Write the symlink enable would write:
~/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/ydotool.service ->
/usr/lib/systemd/user/ydotool.service.
`curl -f` swallowed Gitea's error response, so the 3-attempt upload
failure on the 6330 MiB ISO reported nothing diagnosable. Capture the
status code via -w, print up to 2 KB of the response body for both
HTTP-level and transport-level failures, and clear upload.json at the
start of each attempt so a stale body cannot be misreported.
end-4's ./setup sudo keepalive orphans a `sleep 60` child as ii-builder;
userdel then exits 8 and aborts the ISO build (CI exit 8).
Sweep uid-matching processes inside the build chroot before userdel,
mirroring shadow's user_busy_processes() checks (real/effective/saved
uid + root device/inode). Because arch-chroot mounts proc before
`unshare --fork --pid`, /proc entry numbers are outer-namespace pids:
signal the last NSpid field instead, require matching NSpid depth, and
surface kill errors instead of swallowing them. userdel keeps its stderr
and, on final failure, dumps the leftover process list before aborting.
- customize_airootfs.sh stages dots-hyprland at /opt, runs ./setup
install-deps as a throwaway builder, harvests the built packages into
/opt/localrepo so pacstrap resolves them offline
- image ships its own [local-aur] (file:///opt/localrepo); CI and
localrepo/update.sh keep that copy in sync; .gitignore covers work/,
out/ and airootfs/opt/localrepo/
- alvin-install runs ./setup install --skip-alldeps on the target
- clone pctrade/end4-pC into /etc/skel/.config/quickshell, patch qsConfig
ii -> end4-pC in the staged variables.lua (guarded + idempotent), and
restore the fork after setup rsync --delete's ~/.config/quickshell
- ship user presets in skel, point fish `q` alias at end4-pC
- AGENTS.md: document the fourth package source and new gotchas
- 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.
pacstrap failed at line 382 because pkglist lines from pacman -Q are
'name version' and were passed whole as pacman targets (~400 'target
not found'). Parse only the first field, pre-filter against pacman -Slq
so packages missing from the live repos (local-aur) are skipped with a
warning, and fall back to an unfiltered list if pacman -Syy fails.
Keymap screen now offers a US-layout confirm before the gum filter.
- New gum-based installer script (alvin-install) with LUKS encryption,
nmtui networking, disk selector, user/git config, and CachyOS repo setup
- Replace NetworkManager full unit file with symlink for consistency
- Add alvin-install reference to MOTD
- Add file_permissions entry in profiledef.sh
- Fix localrepo path case in pacman.conf
Boot configs referenced stock vmlinuz-linux/initramfs-linux.img but
only linux-cachyos is installed. This caused boot to fall through
to memtest86+ since the kernel file was not found.
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.
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.
