mkosi --all (for building everything in mkosi.files/)
-
--architecture= is chaos: we need to define a clear vocabulary of architectures that can deal with the different names of architectures in debian, fedora and uname.
-
squashfs root images with /home and /srv on ext4
-
optionally output the root partition (+ verity) and the unified kernel image as additional artifacts, so that they can be used in automatic updating schemes (i.e. take an old image that is currently in use, add a root partition with the new root image (+ verity), and drop the new kernel into the ESP, and an update is complete.
-
minimization with gpt_btrfs doesn't seem to take fs compression into account. The resulting device is half-empty.
-
--format gpt_mksquashfs --minimize throws an error. It should just silently ignore --minimize, since it's implied.
-
--debug=help should list known options and exit. Same for other options which accept a fixed list of choices.
