Hello folks
I was wondering if there is a way to rebuild a custom live disc, using archiso, without having to download all the packages over again.
The problem is that after making a few changes to the configuration, mainly inside root-image directory, i want to rebuild the iso.
But, running build.sh says that everything is up-to-date. Alternatively, i tried removing the root squashfs file, and ran build.sh again. But, it started downloading ~500MB of packages all over again :(
I'll probably have to do some more fine tuning before finalising the iso, and i don't want this to repeat itself.
Please help.
In the official builds, the downloaded packages are always reused. I am not intimitely familiar with the internals of archiso - you could subscribe to the arch-releng list and post there, at least Gerardo reads that list and will likely reply.
