Since a long time udev has been implementing a simple protocol to ensure that invocations of mkfs/mkswap/fdisk tools don't race against udev's device superblock/partition table probing. See this: https://systemd.io/BLOCK_DEVICE_LOCKING I'd...
I think it would make sense to optionally support "pinning" package versions, i.e. write the used RPM/DEB package versions to some file while doing an initial build, and if that...

mkosi currently has to different ways to build things: 1. regular builds — where we first set up a disk image, create an fs in it, mount it, and install...
I think we are missing a big opportunity by not outputting enough emojis in our build-time logs. At the very least, we should show a piece of cake or so...
I think it would make sense to optionally patch /etc/os-release. Specifically, I think it would make sense to havea new setting PatchOsRelease=image|build|no or so, with a default of "no". If...

Currently mkosi can sign generated artifacts with gpg. I'd like to move away from that, hence I'd like to see support for alternative signature schemes. Specifically: 1. I'd particularly love...
This gives a 10% speed improvement. (Not more unfortunately, as this just parallelizes the zstd work, but it's the sha512-256 logic that costs the most CPU time, and parallelizing that...
