--- Any thing I missed here or unclear? Let me know. So far we are ready to go; archiso has been updated and I pushed a package into [extra]. The only thing missing is a small patch for arch-chroot that should be applied: http://paste.xinu.at/ktF/
It's only been 20 days since the last release, but I'd like to move to a schedule where a new iso is released at the beginning (first week) of a month. It's still quite a list of changes; not even mentioned a few changes to archiso and the install scripts.
Why not follow the kernel release? The iso is much more useful having the latest kernel available.
Greetings,
