Add zerombr and clearpart commands to ensure clean disk state before installation.
This prevents issues when reinstalling on previously partitioned disks by:
- Reinitializing invalid partition tables (zerombr)
- Removing all partitions from all disks (clearpart --all)
- Writing a fresh disk label (--initlabel)
This makes reinstallation reliable even on disks with previous installations,
while allowing users to override defaults via the GUI if needed.
Add locale configuration, systemd service for rootfs mounting, and customization script:
- Add locale.gen to generate en_US.UTF-8 locale required by Anaconda
- Add fws-rootfsbase.service to expose squashfs as /run/rootfsbase for Anaconda LiveOS payload detection
- Add customize_airootfs.sh to run locale-gen during image build
- Add python-iso639 0.1.4 PKGBUILD (local package with correct find() API)
- Add python-langtable 0.0.71 PKGBUILD (local package with list_common_languages())
- Remove python-iso639 and python-langtable from AUR packages due to version/API incompatibilities
- Update LOCAL_BUILD_ORDER to include new local packages
Add python-crypt_r PKGBUILD to provide the crypt module removed in Python 3.13 (PEP 594), required by pyanaconda/core/users.py for password hashing.
Add python-legacy-cgi for the cgi module also removed in Python 3.13, required by python-requests-ftp imported by pyanaconda/core/util.py.
Add ostree to provide the OSTree-1.0 GI namespace required by pyanaconda/rescue.py for the rpm_ostree payload.
Add libblockdev LVM CLI mode configuration to avoid DBus dependency issues with lvmdbusd unavailable in Arch.
Update setup-aur.sh to include python-crypt_r in the local build order before python-meh.
Add Anaconda installer integration to FWS live environment:
- Implement Anaconda launcher in .xinitrc with comprehensive error logging and debugging support
- Add anaconda and anaconda-widgets packages to baseline and releng ISO configs
- Fix anaconda-widgets PKGBUILD: replace gladeui with glib2-devel, disable Glade module
- Update anaconda PKGBUILD with improved dependencies and build configuration
- Add python-blivet PKGBUILD with detailed dependency documentation
Enhance documentation and branding:
- Expand AUTHORS.rst to clarify FWS vs archiso authorship and licensing
- Update CONTRIBUTING.rst with inbound=outbound licensing policy and DCO requirements
- Extend README.md with comprehensive legal basis table and licensing checklist
- Remove Arch Linux references from MOTD and update to FWS GitHub project page
- Fix fastfetch.sh to avoid read-only variable conflict in zsh
- Add xterm to packages for installer debugging
All changes maintain GPL-3.0-or-later compliance and improve GPL offer transparency.
Add comprehensive FOSS compliance documentation including:
- COPYRIGHT.md: copyright holders and code ownership
- LICENSING.md: GPL-3.0-or-later policy and source offer
- NOTICE: attribution requirements for permissive licenses
- THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.md: third-party software inventory
- TRADEMARKS.md: trademark notices and non-affiliation
- os-release hook and files: identify FWS as separate from Arch Linux
These documents establish legal compliance baseline for GPL/AGPL/Apache/MIT/BSD obligations before public distribution.
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
