- HostonlyInitrd reduces the size of the initramfs which speeds up
QEMU boot times.
- Autologin and deleting the root password remove
the manual login step whenever starting the systemd-nspawn container
or QEMU vm.
- NetworkVeth passes --network-veth to the nspawn container when
using mkosi boot and emulates --network-veth with a tap device
and networkd's 80-vm-vt.network builtin network file when using
mkosi qemu. --network-veth makes it easier to test network and
resolved in mkosi's nspawn container or QEMU vm.
It's often useful to have an editor available to edit some random
config file in the final image. Let's install some basic editors
that don't take up too much space.
Let's add a debugger to the mkosi images so we can debug coredumps
from inside mkosi qemu VMs (and hopefully in the future from
mkosi systemd-nspawn containers as well).
--qemu-headless configures the generated image and mkosi's qemu
command to connect to the VM via the serial port. This allows
spawning a qemu VM within the user's terminal instead of spawning
a graphical GTK GUI. --qemu-headless sets TERM, COLUMNS and LINES
in serial-getty@ttyS0.service in the container which makes the
terminal in the VM behave almost equivalent to the one on the host.
This change makes testing changes to systemd using mkosi + QEMU a
lot easier compared to before as commands can be executed in the VM
from the comfort of one's terminal compared to the Linux console
available when running via the GTK GUI.
We need to include ninja-build in the packages list because meson doesn't
depend on it (because it supports other backends too).
Also drop xz-devel, it's not crucial for the test.
[zjs: Looking at https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/iptables-dev, iptables-dev
was a transitional package that was pulling in libxtables-dev, libip4tc-dev,
and libip6tc-dev (as listed by @GiedriusS). iptables-dev is gone in focal, so
replace it by the expanded list.]
Many dependencies were pulled via dracut->systemd. Since we can build
stripped images without initrd and dracut, we need to add systemd
runtime dependencies explicitely.
libzstd is a new dependency for systemd that's not in a stable release
yet, so it's not pulled in by the RPM package dependency. Manually
include it in the package section so the image mkosi produces works. It
can be removed when the RPM depends on it.
Additionally, a number of packages in the list appear to be pulled in
because they're dependencies in the systemd rpm, so remove them.
Finally, mkosi v5 adds the proper fs utilities for bootable images type
so drop that dependency as well.
User accounts of given names are necessary for the build script and
tests to succeed.
(Fixup of #15527, too keen cleaning of dependencies and cached image
caused this.)
The setup is meant to run against openSUSE Tumbleweed and install
minimum packages necessary for successful build and passing tests.
To speed up incremental build an external build directory is used.
Fedora minimization had some effect, hence add some required
dependencies explicitly so that we work anyway.
Also, the libtool is not used anymore, drop it.
Finally, the mkosi output format is called gpt_ext4 now, not raw_ext4
anymore.

gettext provides the hostname binary, but puts it in
/usr/lib/gettext/hostname, which is not part of the default $PATH. Using
inetutils instead puts the binary in /usr/bin/hostname.
/* test compression */
XZ compression finished (38280 -> 11756 bytes, 30.7%)
sh: diff: command not found
Assertion 'system(cmd) == 0' failed at src/journal/test-compress.c:198,

The journal compression test shells out to diff, so include diffutils as

Remaining fixes in https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/pull/377
Currently "mkosi --default .mkosi/mkosi.arch" fails to build the image due to pacman error:
"error: Partition /var/tmp/mkosi-xxx/root too full: yyy blocks needed, zzz blocks free"
"error: not enough free disk space"
"error: failed to commit transaction (not enough free disk space)"
So increase the size to 3G.
Before adding this, I got errors about the library being missing such
as:
journalctl: error while loading shared libraries: libqrencode.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Fixes#7367.
In Debian unstable package libqrencode-dev is version 4.0.2-1, and the
corresponding runtime library is provided by package libqrencode4.
This change fixes the following error when running journalctl:
root@image:~# journalctl
journalctl: error while loading shared libraries: libqrencode.so.4: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
This change also fixes the following boot failures in
systemd-journal-flush.service and systemd-journal-catalog-update.service:
[FAILED] Failed to start Flush Journal to Persistent Storage.
[FAILED] Failed to start Rebuild Journal Catalog.

These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
intltool is unnecessary since c81217920e.
But we still need gettext, because we use msgformat to generate .mo files.
(I tried to make meson depend on it, at least in Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1545926, but that didn't fly,
and in Debian at least meson also has no dependency on the tools used by
its i18n module, so we need to add our own dependency anyway.)
Closes#8192.
