# omarchy-mac-boot
|
|
|
|
Apple Silicon boot support for Omarchy: the Mac mkinitcpio drop-ins and initcpio hooks, in-place LUKS conversion in the initramfs, vendor firmware in early boot, first boot of a Mac image, the Limine activation gate and the boot check. The source is `packages/omarchy-mac/boot/` in omacom/omarchy-mac, with its own tests. The recipe pins an exact omarchy-mac commit, copies that directory away from the surrounding desktop tree in `prepare()`, runs its `test/all` in `check()` and stages the package with its `install` script. The recipe itself holds only metadata, `backup=` and the pacman scriptlet.
|

|
|
It follows the fork recipe in maralcbr/omarchy-pkgs (`asahi-quattro`, `pkgbuilds/omarchy-mac-boot` at 20260921-10), which carried the payload as files in the recipe.
|
|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
|
|
The package is aarch64-only and published to edge only. It widens to rc and stable only after M1 and M2 cold-boot qualification. It carries the Apple platform tag, `groups=('omarchy-platform-apple-silicon')`, which omarchy-settings' pacman platform guard uses to keep it off other machines once that guard ships (omacom/omarchy-mac#539, `docs/platform-guard.md`). Its only provides are the retired Apple-only names, and nothing generic depends on it or on them, so nothing generic can pull it onto non-Apple aarch64 machines. Its one Apple-only dependency, `asahi-scripts`, comes from the asahi-alarm repository that only the Apple profile configures.
|
|
|
|
It requires `limine-mkinitcpio-hook` 1.39.0-2 or newer: that is the first build whose hooks leave a Mac's `/boot` to mkinitcpio until Limine is activated. With an older hook, Limine's kernel hook replaces mkinitcpio's by name, and this package's `limine-ready` gate stops it on a Mac that still boots GRUB, so a kernel update would never reach `/boot`.
|
|
|
|
## Transition
|
|
|
|
- It provides, conflicts with and replaces `omarchy-apple-boot` and `omarchy-first-boot`. The scriptlet moves a pending `omarchy-first-boot` marker to `omarchy-mac-first-boot`, drops the replaced unit's dangling enable link and points at a customised `90-omarchy-asahi.conf.pacsave`.
|
|
- `pkgver` is the UTC commit date of the pin, so any pin from `20260925` on upgrades the fork's `20260921-10` on mx-mac Macs. The files the fork shipped that the source no longer does (the image finalize tools, the upstream ARM repository key and the GRUB snapshot-menu hook) are removed by that upgrade.
|
|
- `backup=` covers every `/etc` path and `/usr/lib/omarchy/initcpio`. It includes `/etc/default/update-m1n1`, which pins update-m1n1's device-tree order to the C locale. On a Mac that already has its own unowned copy, pacman keeps it and installs the shipped one as `.pacnew`.
|

|
|
## Updates
|
|
|
|
Updates are reviewed pins, never a branch:
|
|
|
|
1. Set `_commit` to the full omarchy-mac SHA and `pkgver` to its UTC commit date (`TZ=UTC0 git show -s --format=%cd --date=format-local:%Y%m%d <sha>`); `prepare()` checks both.
|
|
2. Reset `pkgrel` to 1 when `pkgver` changes; bump it for a second pin on the same date or a rebuild.
|
|
3. Refresh `sha256sums` with `makepkg -g`.
