Peter Hutterer requested to merge whot/ci-templates:wip/update-mkosi into master Dec 18, 2020

See the details but the TLDR is:

our pinned version of mkosi could no longer build fedora because it couldn't find the f33 repos
this was added to mkosi upstream a while ago but updating to latest mkosi broke debian/ubuntu with missing initrds
this was now fixed mkosi upstream but debootstrap cannot handle Ubuntu 20.10 and later
this is fixed here with forcing the same symlinks that have been in place for a decade now for every ubuntu version

Summary: we can now update ci-pipelines to latest fedora, ubuntu and debian.
