support for the limine bootloader instead of grub was added for efi+bios platforms (powerpc stays on grub as it&#39;s the only extant bootloader for the platform)<br/><br/>it would be great to get some testing on it, so anyone that feels like it should generate a custom image with MKLIVE_BOOTLOADER=limine set in environment and test it on any platform that is relevant (and report any issues)

images are the earliest supported for network installations<br/><br/>older images will likely fail to install a working system (unless apk-tools is upgraded beforehand or a recent static binary is used) due to not having recent enough apk that can deal with conflicts in install_if; do not use them 2024-11-06T11:32:27Z

may break some edge cases - notably if you had any of the tty-specific services enabled (instead of using ACTIVE_CONSOLES/EXTRA_GETTYS and similar), they do not exist anymore<br/><br/>instead, a parameterized agetty-service exists (e.g. agetty-service@ttyS0) that works for any character device<br/><br/>also, active serial consoles are detected (incl baudrate etc.) and enabled automatically now (no need to do anything)<br/><br/>config files remain the same 2024-11-04T16:32:43Z

built packages from now on install in `/usr/lib/dinit.d` instead of `/etc/dinit.d` - users wishing to edit them can copy them over to the old location and it will take priority (this follows the same pattern as the other `foo.d` config dirs)<br/><br/>this is a part of the ongoing effort to make chimera systems stateless (no mutable files in packages, removal of mutable dirs/files == reset to defaults) 2024-10-15T22:10:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspc8r0klhq9s0drttsrhyugum3cvqhcf2qw7svjg20x0hskaux7lgzyzva67um80ylwky2j3jnyyc9w63kzw3v8dtpdw5894ax6pplfp2ncy7xug4 if you get error on upgrade of

service system that may affect users; the addition of user service targets (login.target and graphical.target) means user service files now need to add an explicit `before` constraint if they need to start before login finishes<br/><br/>this enables user services that are not needed for login, and makes graphical ones nicer though not complete (graphical.target is a triggered service, so you can trigger it after activation env setup to delay graphical service startup) 2024-10-03T13:24:41Z
