Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

A fancy wrapper around "dnf --installroot", "apt", "pacman", and "zypper" that generates disk images with a number of bells and whistles. Generated images are tailored to the purpose: GPT partitions, systemd-boot or grub2, images for containers, VMs, initrd, and extensions. Mkosi can boot an image via QEMU or systemd-nspawn, or simply start a shell in chroot, burn the image to a device, connect to a running VM via ssh, extract logs and coredumps, serve an image over HTTP and more. See https://mkosi.systemd.io/ for documentation.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
