The default resolv.conf is empty.
This cause program that depends on resolv.conf for name resolution will
fail.
As a test, we create small Go program "cmd/golookup" that can lookup
IP address of host name using pure Go resolver (using/etc/resolv.conf).

Remove list of choices that are not applicable again on the latest build
script.
Mention list of Linux Guest Environment packages that we install on the
image, including the link to its AUR repository.
Update the steps and sample commands for "Build your own image" to use
gcloud instead of gsutil.
all: remove pacman-init service and ops-agent config.yaml2025-12-26T08:50:22ZShulhanms@kilabit.info2025-12-26T08:02:04Zurn:sha1:42ad2744c1122eeb6e33972ed34a87567a690a57
The original pacman-init.service usage is to populate the pacman keyrings.
Since we install archlinux-keyring package at pacstrap, we did not need
to do it anymore.
On ops-agent, the latest package released that include the same
config.yaml.
all: create the images under project name kilabit2025-12-26T06:57:05ZShulhanms@kilabit.info2025-12-25T12:39:54Zurn:sha1:058f6729af0dc2f9a367a268e2d387a9f922406e
We are currently cleaning up my GCP account, so we unify some projects
into one.
The arch-builder now moved under kilabit project.
all: remove dependency on gce repository2025-12-25T12:03:16ZShulhanms@kilabit.info2025-12-25T12:01:04Zurn:sha1:fca620c1e13bae91b4a3167a10d660f3d72e7aeb
Since around 13 December 2025, the gce repository return an error 403,
error: failed retrieving file 'gce.db' from storage.googleapis.com
: The requested URL returned error: 403
We then build google-compute-engine and google-guest-agent and host it
under build.kilabit.info repository using the latest releases [1][2].
For google-compute-engine we use version 20251014.00-1.
For google-guest-agent we use version 20251223.00-1.

all: add task to build image testable with qemu2025-12-25T07:50:18ZShulhanms@kilabit.info2024-06-09T09:56:54Zurn:sha1:cbc720a6c7b686312d1d309157b37c855eab063c
An image that build for qemu will have user "arch" with predefined
SSH keys, so user can access the guest from host either using SSH key
or password.
all: importing build.kilabit.info key on pacman-init.service2025-12-24T06:53:46ZShulhanms@kilabit.info2024-06-06T18:40:33Zurn:sha1:0e203fa35544ac1db582c89c913af9bef6911ade
The "pacman-key --init" does not needs to be run anymore since it will
be handled by "archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.timer".
all: manage network with systemd-network2025-12-24T06:53:46ZShulhanms@kilabit.info2024-06-06T18:17:04Zurn:sha1:7c5aa938241175ba5cbc57468b6e4eeeb507df2a
This remove dhclient and add polkit as dependencies for systemd-hostnamed.
