Note that since the Fedora Live installers are not currently part of any composes this change applies to all versions.


Based on #2209 so we have the default shared erofs options. Keeping as draft until that lands.

So this is a bit annoying, only the fedora 44 live installer on aarch64 is failing consistently; but mkfs.erofs outputs so much data that the logs at GitLab get truncated; thus we can't see what actually goes wrong. I'll try to reproduce locally and also take a look at silencing (some of) the output of our org.osbuild.erofs stage.

Rebased on #2209. Might need osbuild/osbuild#2359 if CI fails again to debug.

Use the newly introduced options to configure the workstation live
installer to use erofs. Matching the `kiwi` produced artifacts in
Fedora.

Things are in a better place now and a last run passed. Let's see how it goes this time.

Now that we have logs available the error that occurs (only on Fedora 44 and 45, and only on aarch64) is:

<E> erofs: Could not format the device : [Error 5] Input/output error
