The Void Linux image/live/rootfs maker and installer

This repository contains utilities for Void Linux:

installer (The Void Linux el-cheapo installer for x86)
mklive (The Void Linux live image maker for x86)
mkimage (The Void Linux image maker for ARM platforms)
mkplatformfs (The Void Linux filesystem tool to produce a rootfs for a particular platform)
mkrootfs (The Void Linux rootfs maker for ARM platforms)
mknet (Script to generate netboot tarballs for Void)

Dependencies

See the usage output:

$ ./mklive.sh -h
$ ./mkrootfs.sh -h
$ ./mkimage.sh -h

Build a native live image keyboard set to 'fr':

# ./mklive.sh -k fr

Build an i686 (on x86_64) live image with some additional packages:

# ./mklive.sh -a i686 -p 'vim rtorrent'

Build an x86_64 musl live image with packages stored in a local repository:

# ./mklive.sh -a x86_64-musl -r /path/to/host/binpkgs

See the usage output for more information :-)

void-mklive-based live images support several kernel command-line arguments that can change the behavior of the live system:

live.autologin will skip the initial login screen on tty1.
live.user will change the username of the non-root user from the default anon. The password remains voidlinux.
live.shell sets the default shell for the non-root user in the live environment.
live.accessibility enables accessibility features like the console screenreader espeakup in the live environment.
console can be set to ttyS0, hvc0, or hvsi0 to enable agetty on that serial console.
locale.LANG will set the LANG environment variable. Defaults to en_US.UTF-8.
vconsole.keymap will set the console keymap. Defaults to us.

live.autologin live.user=foo live.shell=/bin/bash would create the user foo with the default shell /bin/bash on boot, and log them in automatically on tty1
live.shell=/bin/bash would set the default shell for the anon user to /bin/bash
console=ttyS0 vconsole.keymap=cf would enable ttyS0 and set the keymap in the console to cf
locale.LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8 would set the live system's language to fr_CA.UTF-8
