I wonder if you could use arch-chroot isntead of just chroot here.
It requires bash 4 - if that's not installed on the host, arch-chroot will not work. I would rather provide instructions involving manual bind-mounting and chroot.
Fair enough. It should not be too hard to make it work with bash 3 though. But maybe this is a good time to think about our minimum requirements. E.g. Debian 6 (oldstable) already has Bash 4 and it seems our glibc requires at least Linux 2.6.32. (it seems Debian 5 had 2.6.26 so that wont work anyway)
You can also use the pacman.conf from the releng scripts.
I pretty much used the default pacman.conf from our packages (also enabled Color, but that didn't do anything). Is the releng one different?
Not really; this would just reduce duplication and makes sure these tars and the iso iamges allways match.
I'd say we include this script into the releng scripts (either archiso or create a nwe package; atm I use some additional script for releasing an ISO image) and upload such a tar at the same time as the ISO image.
I was thinking about including this into arch-install-scripts, but I am unsure if it really fits in there.
Yes, seems difficult. As I said, I also have other scripts like creating torrents etc. that are used for a realease. Maybe we can create a releng repo/package for these. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com
