Reviewer found `-e images/efiboot.img` was wrong — Fedora livecd-creator
places efiboot.img in isolinux/ not images/. Plus missing
--mbr-force-bootable + -partition_* flags would produce hybrid MBR/GPT
mismatch refused by some BIOS firmwares.
Fix: extract original ISO's exact boot stanza via
`xorriso -report_el_torito as_mkisofs` and replay it via eval.
Guarantees exact match, immune to upstream Fedora layout changes.
- gum 0.17.0 pinned by sha256, downloaded into overlay/usr/local/bin/
so installer can use Charm.sh TUI primitives.
- After livecd-creator produces ISO, extract+re-pack with /veilor/
containing overlay+scripts+assets so installer-generated ks can
copy them into target system at install time.
Upstream bug in /usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py:
if self._isDracut:
args["rootlabel"] = "live:LABEL=%(fslabel)s" # WRONG
else:
args["rootlabel"] = "CDLABEL=%(fslabel)s"
For dracut path on EFI grub it writes `root=live:LABEL=...` but
dracut needs `live:CDLABEL=...` to look up ISO9660 by CD volume id.
Result: parse-livenet hook stalls indefinitely.
CI now sed-patches the file in-place before build. Reported upstream
livecd-tools as separate task.
POSTTRANS ldconfig hit ENOSPC/ROFS — KDE install + dnf cache + scriptlet
working set exceeds 16G tmpfs. Move livecd-creator tmpdir to /var/lmc on
runner's host ext4 disk.
Local builds need fix-repo because host has stale libselinux vs newer pcre2.
CI fresh container has matched libs, fix-repo unnecessary and refs invalid
(file:///tmp/veilor-fix-repo not present in CI). sed strips that ks line.
CI builds in fresh Fedora 43 container — matched pcre2/libselinux/selinux-policy
versions, no fix-repo hack needed. Container starts every run from clean
state, no zombie collisions. Fastest path to first green ISO.
