Adds a warning to check authoritative Calamares source before asserting
config schemas/formats, with a note that it's aimed at OpenCode agents
(adapt the tool name for others). Prevents the 2026 packagechooser/
netinstall eyeball mistake
All approaches to keep OpenRC as default failed:
- --ignore: pacman ignores it during fresh install provider resolution
- --assume-installed=init-logind: ALPM doesn't check assume-installed for virtual providers
- --ask=12: infinite loop (pacman re-adds elogind-dinit after each removal)
- dummy package in custom repo: init-rc conflict hits via different path
Dinit works because pacman --noconfirm naturally picks elogind-dinit
(alphabetically before elogind-openrc), pulling dinit-rc which has no
conflict. All inits (OpenRC, Runit, S6) remain selectable in the
online installer.
Changes:
- buildiso: INITSYS='dinit', remove --assume-installed/--ask hacks
- basestrap/main.py, packages/main.py: remove same hacks
- profile.yaml: antergos-live-dinit for dinit, move openrc pkg to init-specific
- packagechooser.conf (x2): default=Dinit, Dinit first in item list
- packagechooser_dm.conf: *-dinit instead of *-openrc
- README.md, README.pl.md, docs/*: update all OpenRC-first references
- AGENTS.md: document dinit as default
dinit-rc and openrc both provide AND conflict with virtual init-rc and
cannot coexist. When base depends on init-logind (virtual), pacman with
--noconfirm picks the first alphabetically -- elogind-dinit over
elogind-openrc -- pulling in dinit -> dinit-rc, which conflicts with
openrc (pulled by elogind-openrc via dbus-openrc).
Fix: use operations.insert(0, ...) so elogind-{init} installs as a
separate pacman call BEFORE base, satisfying init-logind before base
needs it.
Strip out archiso (airootfs, efiboot, syslinux, mkarchiso, prepare.sh,
Dockerfile, mirrorlist, profiledef.sh, packages.x86_64, reset.sh,
run_before_squashfs.sh) and adopt artools buildiso with full antergos
iso-profiles. Bitch, you NEED therapy.
Are you threatening me?

- pacman.conf.d/iso-x86_64.conf with antergos-pkgs repo first
...Are you THREATENING me in SKECHERS?!
- Calamares offline + online module dirs, antergos-next branding
- componentName must match dir or Branding.cpp goes full T-square
- calamares before calamares-branding-antergos-next so --overwrite='*'
wins correctly. YOU'RE ON YOUR FOURTH WIFE RIGHT NOW-
- calamares-next.desktop in live-overlay (/usr/share + /etc/skel/Desktop)
- netinstall.yaml bundled. No remote deps. Kill that bitch (Cnchi).
What fuckin' college would care if you drew some bullshit picture
about your feelings?
- CI: artixlinux/artixlinux:base container, install artools, buildiso -p
antergos, IA upload with collection=open_source_software. Class is in
session. Maybe I should grow 40 feet! Then you'd REALLY like me!
- IA: mediatype=software keeps us out of Community Texts jail. The
question is; what's this stick gonna do?
It's honestly super humbling, when the trashiest repo you know;
probably coked out of its mind... says the most thoughtful thing
you've done in years.
- README.md rewritten with Artix/OpenRC/KDE badges, build instructions,
migration notes. Nice SpongeBob impression. ...Nice SpongeBob impression.
- AGENTS.md updated (identity ritual, gotchas, commands, repo layout)
- Restore LICENSE, NOTICES, APOLOGY.txt, CHANGELOG.md from git history.
Some files you just don't let die. No matter what, you NEVER use that
N-word! (...should've said nothing.)
- .gitignore: work/ iso/ out/. Go work at Starbucks with your little apron.
So laugh all you want. Forget about me all you want. But at least
I'll be gorgeous forever. Mother, I'm in the SquashFS now.

Full removal of Cnchi from the ISO. It was the original Antergos
installer and we tried to keep it alive with a GTK4 port, but the
Python GTK4 bindings were unstable, the maintenance burden was
unsustainable for a solo dev, and Calamares simply does everything
better.
What changed:
- README: complete rewrite of installer section with eulogy and
'Why Calamares and not Cnchi' explanation
- packages.x86_64: cnchi removed (calamares stays)
- run_before_squashfs.sh: removed cnchi memes dir creation, cnchi
desktop file fix, cnchi version comment; changed GTK theme from
Adwaita to Adwaita-dark (fixes white-on-white welcome app)
- airootfs/.../cnchi.desktop: deleted
- user-commands-before.bash: updated cnchi references → generic
- user_commands.bash: updated cnchi reference → generic
- .gitignore: removed Cnchi/ entry
- AGENTS.md: cnchi → calamares
- .github/workflows/build.yml: cnchi → calamares in README gen
- NOTICES: kept historical Cnchi credit (unchanged)
🕯️ Requiescat in pace, Cnchi. You did your job.
