Since 56b2970 has proven to be a no-go for us, as it breaks existing
links, let's embrace the trailing slash and use absolute links
everywhere for our pages. This way we'll get around browser cleverly
appending the relative link to the current location (since it ends with
a slash), and given our docs/ layout is flat it's not much of a hassle
either.
Converted using this beauty:
$ sed -ri 's/(\[.+\]\()([A-Z_]+\))/\1\/\2/g' *.md
Resolves: #32088 (again) and #32310
- We have ssh-generator now, so need for mkosi's Ssh= option anymore.
- By enabling RuntimeBuildSources= by default, we don't need the gdb
config file in the image anymore, since the build and source
directories will be mounted at the expected locations.
git rebase does not support a --recurse-submodules switch to automatically
check out the submodules at their registered commits during or after a rebase.
Instead, let's use the post-rewrite git hook to do this ourselves.
Instead of running meson install and hoping for the best, let's build
distribution packages from the downstream packaging specs. This gets
us the following:
- Vastly simplified mkosi scripts since we don't need a separate initrd
image anymore but can just reuse the default mkosi initrd.
- Almost everything can move to the base image as its not the basis
anymore for the initrd and as such we don't need to care about the
size anymore.
- The systemd packages that get pulled in as dependencies of other
packages get properly uninstalled and replaced with our packages that
we built instead of just installing on top of an existing systemd
installation with no guarantee that everything from that previous
installation was removed.
- Much better testing coverage as what we're testing is much closer
to what will actually be deployed in distributions.
- Immediate feedback if something we change breaks distribution packaging
- We get integration with the distribution for free as we'll automatically
use the proper directories and such instead of having to hack this
into a mkosi build script.

This reverts commit 5e8ff010a1.
This broke all the URLs, we can't have that. (And actually, we probably don't
_want_ to make the change either. It's nicer to have all the pages in one
directory, so one doesn't have to figure out to which collection the page
belongs.)
Both building and booting a directory image is much faster than
building or booting a disk image so let's default to a directory
image.
In CI, we stick to a disk image to make sure that keeps working as
well.
The only extra dependency this introduces is virtiofsd which is
packaged in all distributions except Debian stable. For users
hacking on systemd on Debian stable, a disk image can be built by
writing the following to mkosi.local.conf:
```
[Output]
Format=disk
```
Now that mkosi-kernel is a thing, this logic in systemd is just mostly
bitrotting since I just use mkosi-kernel these days. If I ever need to
hack on systemd and the kernel in tandem, I'll just add support for
building systemd to mkosi-kernel instead, so let's drop the support for
building a custom kernel in systemd's mkosi configuration.
- Use mkosi.images/ instead of mkosi.presets/
- Use the .chroot suffix to run scripts in the image
- Use BuildSources= match for the kernel build
- Move 10-systemd.conf to mkosi.conf and rely on mkosi.local.conf
for local configuration
Instead of using ExtraTrees=, let's use the new RuntimeTrees= option
to mount the full repository into the VM/container. Let's also store
the sources under /usr/src/systemd and update the gdbinit file and
vscode HACKING guide section to match the new location.
Let's mention that we just need the latest stable release of mkosi,
not the latest git commit. We also split the instructions for building
on the host and the instructions for building with mkosi into two blocks,
as it's not required to build on the host anymore to build with mkosi.
