  • Description of the changes in this pull request:
    Do not remove dotfiles from the release archive. Avoids dropping .vimrc from /root of the rescue ramdisk. This also adds .shellcheckrc to the release tarballs, so package builds using static analyzers (OpenScanHub) will know what ShellCheck warnings to ignore.
