CachyOS-PKGBUILDS picked up unified kernel image support for systemd-boot-manager while removing the fallback boot options, and linux-cachyos added Rust and ThinLTO build support, the two changes that actually alter what boots and what compiles.

systemd-boot-manager: Add support for UKI images CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS

by ventureoo

systemd-boot-manager now generates entries for UKI images, so a machine booting unified kernel images no longer needs a hand-maintained loader entry. Merge the PR landing carried forward as a plain commit too.

systemd-boot-manager: Remove fallback options CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS

by Vasiliy Stelmachenok

The fallback entries are gone. The commit message states "Fallback images have been removed by default in mkinitcpio for a long time," so any generated loader config that assumed a fallback image will no longer have one to point at.

rust: Add support for rust and thinlto CachyOS/linux-cachyos

by ptr1337

The kernel PKGBUILD gained Rust and ThinLTO support, which is the prerequisite for building the kernel with either enabled rather than a change to the shipped config on its own.

by s0me1newithhand7s
