[arch-releng] grub2 and uefi support in aif
by KESHAV P.R. 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi all, I want to hack into AIF (and maybe archiso) to add support for grub2 and uefi support to it. I might borrow some code from tpowa's archboot, atleast for the uefi related stuff since i added that support (to archboot). I need help in the form of implementing GPT and grub2 BIOS support to AIF since that is a prerequisite to enable uefi support in aif. I am not so familiar with lvm, raid and all such complex stuff that require checking (as currently done by archboot's /arch/setup script) while insallation of grub2 bios but i can help in gpt booting related stuff and uefi support. The first problem i am facing is to find out which file to edit - in archboot everything was concentrated at /arch/setup, but in AIF it seems to be split up into multiple files. Thanks in advance. Regards. Keshav

[arch-releng] [PATCH] Moved kernel parameter generation into get_kernel_parameters

[arch-releng] Providing meta information for iso releases
by Pierre Schmitz 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hi engineers, while working on my archportal project I wondered if it wouldn't be nice to have some meta information about our install images. The purpose of this would be automaticall generating the download page, README files, atom feeds etc.. What do you think about this idea in general? 1) Which information could we provide? * release date/time * release name * kernel version * changelog * maybe some readme/instructions * for each iso image: * file name * short description (e.g. netinstall iso image) * description * architectures (e.g. arch=(i686 x86_64) * size * checksums (md5, sha1) * signature (when package signing available) 2) Which format to use? The easiest was is probably to create something similar to the db files for packages. That means several text files and directories within a tar file. For example some file with common information about this release in the root dir and specific information for each iso within subdir named like the iso file names. 3) How to create it? We'll need a simple way to create these db files automatically with every release. All information except descriptions can be filled in automatically. So what do you guys think about this? Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

[arch-releng] [testiso 2011.01.24] test experience
by Thomas Dziedzic 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hey there, tested another install iso: source: netinstall in virtualbox using eth0 with dhcp mirror: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ editor: vi time: chicago, with utc hwclock partitions: /boot 200mb; swap 200mb; / rest filesystems: /boot ext2; swap swap; / ext4 package selection: default base group with sudo installation: failed to download grub, didn't move on, retried selecting install, only had to grab the package that failed to download. Everything continued as expected. NICE! configs: left them vanilla except changing the hostname package selection still suffers from https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22428 FS#22428 - [test iso 2011.01.09] aif package selection should be sorted more naturally. I didn't try btrfs so I can't comment on FS#22427 - [test iso 2011.01.09] aif fails to ask for mountpoint when creating btrfs partition. Overall this installation went without a hitch and I would say that this iso is ready for an audience who doesn't use btrfs. The only usability annoyance I encountered was again, FS#22428 which made it rather difficult to find something like sudo. Thanks for the great work to Dieter and everyone involved! Hope this feedback helps you guys.

I think you're missing the point of the mailing list. on the mailing list, there are multiple people interested in the releng code. Multiple people who can review your stuff and comment it. It's pointless to put all the work on my shoulders, and I only when I say it looks good, to send it to the ML. It's ok to get in touch with me for very specific questions, but for stuff like this: Send it to ML right away, it's ok if there are still problems in it, we can discuss it on the ML. Dieter
