Release notes

  • The default kernel command line of console=ttyS0 (or equivalent for other architectures) has been removed. The required console= argument to have the kernel output to the serial console has to be added manually from v24 onwards.
  • Support for installing local packages located in directories in BuildSources= was dropped. Instead, the packages can be made available for installation via PackageManagerTrees=.
  • Configuration parsing was reworked to remove the need for the @ specifier and to streamline building multiple images with mkosi.images/. If you were building multiple images with mkosi.images/, you’ll need to adapt your configuration to the rework. Read the Building multiple images section in the documentation for more information.
  • mkosi has gained the option to generate completion scripts for bash, fish and zsh. Packagers should generate the scripts during packaging and ship them in the appropriate places.
  • Added support for CentOS Stream 10.
  • mkosi now installs a separate mkosi-initrd script that can be used to build initramfs images intended for use on the local system.
  • We do not automatically append centos-stream or fedora anymore to CentOS (and derivatives) and Fedora mirrors specified with Mirror= as not all mirrors store the repository metadata under these subdirectories. Users are now required to add these subdirectories themselves in Mirror=. If the EPEL repositories are enabled for CentOS Stream (and derivatives) and Mirror= is used, we look for the EPEL repositories in ../fedora relative to the mirror specified in Mirror=.
  • We now support compressed tar archives wherever we already accept tar archives as input.
  • We now always rerun the build if Format=none and don’t remove previous outputs in that case (unless --force is specified). This allows using mkosi -t none to rerun the build scripts without removing the previous image. This can then be combined with RuntimeBuildSources=yes to make the build script outputs available in a booted container or virtual machine so they can be installed without having to rebuild the image.
  • We now use virtconsole to provide the serial console when booting with qemu.
  • root=PARTUUID and mount.usr=PARTUUID on the kernel command line are now automatically extended with the actual PARTUUID of the corresponding partition.
  • All available OpenSUSE repositories are now supported and can be enabled with Repositories=.
  • Building OpenSUSE aarch64 images is now supported
  • mkosi dependencies was beefed up to handle more scenarios properly
  • The default list of kernel modules that are always added to the initramfs was extended with various virtualization modules.
  • Added a Repositories= match.
  • Cached images are now invalidated if packages specified via PackageDirectories= change.
  • Added VolatilePackageDirectories= which can be used to provide local packages that do not invalidate cached images.
  • mkosi.pkgmngr is now used as the default path for PackageManagerTrees=.
  • The package directory that build scripts can use to make built packages available for installation ($PACKAGEDIR) is now shared between all image builds. This means that packages built in earlier images and stored in $PACKAGEDIR become available for installation in all subsequent image builds.
  • The default tools tree distribution is now chosen based on the host distribution instead of the target distribution.
  • mkosi can now be invoked from the initramfs.
