check-host-deps (and the build scripts themselves) reported build
dependencies as missing even though the packages were installed. Several
tools — debootstrap, sgdisk, losetup, partprobe, mkfs.vfat, grub-install —
live in /usr/sbin or /sbin, which non-root users and CI runners often
don't have on PATH, so `command -v` failed.
- common.sh now prepends /usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin to PATH, so every
script finds these tools no matter who invokes the build.
- check-host-deps now distinguishes "package not installed" from "installed
but not on PATH" via dpkg-query, so the message tells you exactly what is
wrong instead of a misleading "missing package".
Scaffold the Arcline OS build system ("the wires"): a transparent,
auditable pipeline that turns a Debian bookworm base into hardened OS
images for the server, workstation, and cloud editions.
- Makefile orchestrates everything (make iso-<edition>, check, test,
toolchain, clean); versions.mk is the single source of truth for
versions and paths.
- scripts/ is the plain-bash pipeline: debootstrap -> install packages
-> apply overlays -> in-chroot configure -> live ISO, plus a rootfs
archive along the way.
- ARCLINE_TOOLCHAIN=auto|skip|require controls whether the 11 Go tools
are bundled into an image (auto by default; minimal builds available
via make iso-<edition>-minimal).
