[arch-releng] 2009.08 alpha images
by Dieter Plaetinck 11 Jul '09

11 Jul '09

Hi guys, As you may have read already (http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2009-July/000549.html ) we are working on a new release, which we would like to have out there by froscon. (22 august 2009) You'll find the alpha images here: http://build.archlinux.org/isos/ Target audience: interested hackers, eg the people on this list. Changes compared to latest release (2009.02): - kernel 2.6.30 (next set of images will have 2.6.30.1) - usage of the AIF framework/installer, no more archlinux-installer - aufs instead of unionfs - images are now built on a new build server (the one provided by sevenL networks), in dedicated releng chroots. This should make the "build-upload-test" cycles shorter. Those are the main things I think. The roadmap (basically our todo list of bugs and feature requests) is here http://bugs.archlinux.org/roadmap/proj6 The moment this list is empty, expect an official release ;) Please test and pay special attention to the "new things" such as the lvm/dm_crypt support in aif, the new FS editor, and the automatic procedure (for which you'll find an example in /usr/share/aif) Bugreports are always welcome on our Bugtracker. Also, we're not sure how we should take care of the documentation. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide will need an update. Last time there was some discussion about this, but afaik the community contributed in this aspect. (though whoever wants to help here should probably wait a bit until we've had some feedback about aif's workings/UI) A, G & D PS: If you experience crashes with Virtualbox, there seem to be some bugs showing up in vbox since kernel 2.6.30 ( eg http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2149 )

[arch-releng] Snapshot 2009.07/08 words
by Gerhard Brauer 05 Jul '09

05 Jul '09

Hi, some notes on the upcoming snapshot (mostly my thoughts, but i guess Dieter would agree in general): * We plan definitely to have a new final snapshot(ISO/USB-Images) ready before and to be present on FrosCon (23./23. August 2009). * It will have kernel 2.6.30 (99% the 2.6.30.1) Maybe we could handle this in general: If we make new snapshots with a new kernel, we wait until first upstream bugfix release. * It will have aif as installer. Dieter and myself (and others too!) have done IMHO good work on aif. Our (private) test ISOs shows that the combination 2.6.30 and aif work without bigger problems now. * Next or next-by-one week we were able to present Beta (or better RCx images), so they could be tested by You.

[arch-releng] [archiso] Several patches
by Gerhard Brauer 05 Jul '09

05 Jul '09

Hi, some to discuss/revisit: In Makefile - when we set a Var (foobar=) - we use sometimes macros and sometimes we set it to the explicit value of a (extern) command. Maybe someone with good experience on Makefile syntax could revisit it. Gerhard
