Boot-critical (each confirmed with a real boot/install cycle, not just
code review):
- Live ISO's liveuser shell is zsh, but Hyprland autostart was written
to .bash_profile (never runs) — moved to .zprofile, and switched to
start-hyprland (Hyprland's own watchdog wrapper; raw `exec Hyprland`
is no longer the recommended launch method).
- copytoram (self-enables on most real hardware: non-optical boot +
image < 4GiB + enough free RAM) unmounts /run/archiso/bootmnt, which
unpackfs.conf and bos-copy-kernel both hardcoded as their source —
broke the installer outright on real hardware, confirmed by forcing
copytoram=y. Added a resolver step for unpackfs, and switched the
kernel copy to /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/vmlinuz (part of the live
squashfs itself, unaffected by copytoram).
- BIOS installs got no bootloader — post-install.sh only ever ran the
UEFI grub-install path despite BOS shipping bios.syslinux. Added a
BIOS branch with disk auto-detection.
- @snapshots/@log/@cache were never real: iso/partition.conf's
btrfsSubvolumes key isn't part of this Calamares version's partition
module schema at all (same class of bug as the userShell fix below —
silently ignored). Calamares only natively creates @ and @home.
post-install.sh now creates the three subvolumes by hand after
unpackfs, migrates existing /var/log + /var/cache content into them
before mounting over, and adds the fstab entries — verified end to
end on real hardware, including grub-btrfs generating bootable
snapshot menu entries. The unmount step in the existing snapper
create-config dance also gained retry + lazy-unmount fallback after
a real chroot run hit a transient busy-mount race.
- Default shell was bash instead of zsh post-install: users.conf's
top-level `userShell` key isn't part of this Calamares version's
users module schema either — the real key is nested (user.shell).
- graphical-session.target ships RefuseManualStart=yes (systemd
convention), so the earlier attempt to activate it from hyprland.lua
silently failed and breadclipd (WantedBy=graphical-session.target)
never started. Starts breadclipd.service directly instead.
- /etc/os-release was never set (showed "Arch Linux"); live boot never
had quiet/splash/plymouth wired in (raw kernel scroll the whole
time) despite BOS already shipping a complete bread-logo+spinner
plymouth theme for the installed system.
Also: generalized build-local.sh's per-service skel baking (previously
only breadd.service was hand-committed; breadbox-sync/breadmill/
breadclipd never shipped), added the four new bakery packages to
BREAD_BINS, removed the redundant cliphist/fzf clipboard pipeline in
favor of breadclip, mirrored fastfetch's bread-logo config into skel,
and fixed a stale bos-update comment.
release-iso.yml runs on v* tag pushes (or workflow_dispatch) on the hestia
self-hosted runner. It:
- Boots an archlinux container (--privileged --network=host)
- Downloads all bakery ecosystem binaries from their pinned GitHub releases
- Builds bread-theme from source at the tag in bos-settings/Cargo.toml
- Runs build-local.sh with CI_BUILD=1 + LAPTOP_HOME=/build-home
- Uploads the ISO to a Forgejo pre-release
- Creates a GitHub release pointing to Forgejo (GitHub 2 GB limit workaround)
build-local.sh: add CI_BUILD=1 mode — rewrites the [breadway] pacman repo
URL to localhost:3002 instead of the Tailscale address, since the CI
container runs on hestia with --network=host.
- Move assets to assets/ directory (bread_white.svg, icons 256/512/1024px)
- Update Calamares branding + Plymouth theme logos
- Bake breadpaper (wallpaper manager + pywal) into /etc/skel alongside the
rest of the bread ecosystem — previously missing from the ISO build
- Bump bos-settings to 0.4.0
On hermes /tmp is a 16 GB tmpfs; a full xz build can exhaust it mid-run. WORK now
honours an env override (matching OUT) so it can be pointed at the NVMe.
- Add bread-theme to the binaries baked into /etc/skel from bakery state.
- Run `bread-theme generate` first in the Hyprland autostart so the shared
GUI stylesheet ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bread/theme.css) exists before breadbar /
breadbox / bos-settings paint (they also live-reload it on change).
