Mounting multiple btrfs filesystems with the same fsid only works
properly from kernel 6.7 onwards. Let's switch to ext4 for now which
does support this.
Not supported by e2fsck from centos. We also disable building repart
from source in CI as running it from the build directory means repart
will run mkfs.ext4 from the host which doesn't know about the orphan_file
feature causing it to fail.
Configuration now takes priority over CLI options so we have to
configure the defaults for settings that we want to allow overriding
from the CLI. We also explicitly set some other settings so that they
can't be overridden from the CLI anymore. For example the base and
initrd image should never be made bootable so we set Bootable=no
explicitly for both.
mkosi now supports CentOS SIGs natively so we drop our own definition
of that and use the mkosi builtin one. We also enable hyperscale for
both CentOS 8 and CentOS 9 for consistency and add epel-next as well
which is a requirement for Hyperscale.
Instead of building the initrds for the mkosi images with dracut,
let's switch to using mkosi presets to build the initrd with mkosi
as well.
This commit splits up our single image build into three separate
mkosi presets:
1. The "base" preset. This image contains systemd and all its runtime
dependencies. The sole purpose of this image is to serve as a base image
for the initrd and the final image. It's also responsible for building
systemd from source with the build script. The results are installed into
the base image. Note that we install the systemd and udev packages into this
image as well to prevent package managers from overriding the systemd we built
from source with the distro packaged systemd if it's pulled in as a dependency
by another package from the initrd or final profiles.
2. The "initrd" preset. This image provides the initrd. It's trivial and does
nothing more than packaging the base image up as a zstd compressed initramfs and
adds /init and /etc/initrd-release symlinks to the image.
3. The "final" preset. This image builds on top of the base image and adds
a kernel and extra packages that are useful for testing and debugging.
We also split out the optional kernel build into a separate set of config files
that are only included if a kernel to build is actually provided.
Note that this commit doesn't really change anything about how mkosi is used.
The commands remain the same, except that mkosi will now build all the presets
in order. "mkosi summary" will show the summary of all the presets. "mkosi qemu,
boot, shell" will always boot the final preset. With "-f", all presets will be
built and the final one is booted. "-i" makes a cache of each preset.
The only thing to keep in mind is that specifying config via the mkosi CLI will
apply to each of the presets. e.g. any extra packages added with "-p" will be
installed in both the initrd and the final image. To apply local configuration
to a single preset, create a file 00-local.conf in
mkosi.presets/<profile>/mkosi.conf.d and put all the preset specific configuration
in there.
