Walkthrough

This pull request introduces comprehensive partition management and build system enhancements for Armbian image creation. It disables git ignores for userpatches paths, adds debug information options to the kernel configuration, introduces three new shell scripts for partition formatting and rootfs injection, modifies partition selection logic in the core partitioning module, and adds userpatches customization configurations including a partition layout definition, example build config, image customization script, and custom partition hook extension.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~45-60 minutes

• userpatches/customize-image.sh: High complexity with multiple dense functions containing numerous OS-version-specific branches, external tool dependencies (apt, curl, xmlstarlet, debconf), and device-specific configurations (odroidxu4). Requires careful review of OMV installation flow, package management logic, and conditional branching.
• lib/functions/image/partitioning.sh: Modification to core partition selection logic that forcibly overrides rootpart variable. Requires understanding of impact on partition layout calculations and downstream dependencies.
• Partition handling script coordination: The new format-extra-partitions.sh, inject-rootfs.sh, and update-fstab.sh scripts work together in a pipeline; their interdependencies and error handling paths need cross-script validation.
• .gitignore changes: Disabling ignores for userpatches paths alters git tracking behavior and may affect build reproducibility or CI workflows.
• Custom partition extension integration: Review how custom_partition_hook.sh integrates with lib.config post-build hooks and partition.conf to ensure proper execution order and error handling.
