Refactor version and variant handling to prompt for metadata on the host before entering container, enabling proper terminal display. Pass FWS_ISO_VERSION and FWS_ISO_TAG via environment variables to container.
Add build date (AAAA.MM.JJ format) to the final ISO filename: fws-<version>-<variant>-<AAAA.MM.JJ>.iso
Implement ask_iso_meta_host() function to validate and collect version (major.minor.build) and variant name inputs before containerization. Use sudo -E to preserve environment variables across privilege escalation.
Update ISO metadata prompt logic to skip if already provided, supporting both container execution and native Arch/WSL environments.
Replace automatic version reading from VERSION file with interactive prompts for version (major.minor.build) and ISO variant name (e.g., cli, gnome, kde).
Changes:
- Remove automatic VERSION file reading; now serves as default with prompt
- Add interactive prompts for version and variant name with validation
- Simplify ISO naming from FWS-v{major}-{minor}-{build}-{date}-x86_64.iso to fws-{version}-{variant}.iso
- Update hostname from 'archiso' to 'fws'
- Add custom FWS logo for fastfetch with color configuration
- Improve error messages and user feedback
This enables flexible build variants and streamlines the build process.
Add --network=host flag to podman run commands in both build.sh and build-offi.sh to fix DNS resolution issues.
The podman bridge network was unable to route to external hosts on certain wifi networks due to firewalld/NAT misconfiguration after network changes, resulting in "core.db: Resolving timed out" errors. By sharing the host's network stack, the container inherits the same network connectivity including DNS resolution via 127.0.0.53/systemd-resolved that is available on the host.
Add automatic detection and relaunching of build scripts in an Arch Linux container via podman when running on non-Arch distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc.).
Key changes:
- Implement host_is_arch() function to detect if running on Arch Linux by checking both pacman availability and /etc/os-release
- When non-Arch host is detected, scripts automatically pull docker.io/library/archlinux:latest and relaunch themselves in rootful podman container with --privileged
- Mount repository at same absolute path inside container so WORK_DIR and out/ directories work transparently
- Set up persistent pacman cache volume (fws-pacman-cache) between runs
- Auto-chown output files back to host user after build completes
- Update pacman config to disable landlock sandbox in containers (similar to WSL workaround)
- Run full pacman -Syu upgrade in container before installing archiso to avoid partial upgrade issues
- Add comprehensive documentation in README about Fedora/non-Arch setup
- Update .gitignore to exclude pkgbuilds/ directory
- Add environnement.md documentation file
