Details

  • Change pmbootstrap flasher flash_system command to pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
  • The old command still works, but all references have been changed to the new command
  • Remove obsolete pmbootstrap flasher export (that was changed to pmbootstrap export a few months ago)
  • Update README.md and ZSH auto completion
  • Change the description of the generated rootfs image (not talking about a system image anymore, mention that it has subpartitions)
  • Better description of pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition

Closes #1354 (closed).
