by Dieter Plaetinck 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Just a FYI I unbroke the releng env again. So testbuilds should appear daily again now. The first batch is: http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/2011-10-13_20-23-01/ don't expect anything new with these though, only new packages... Dieter

[arch-releng] [RFC] [archiso] Support for persistence on dm-snapshot devices
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

For details see the second patch. First patch is to avoid code duplication. This is based from my experimental branch (wating for ACK to merge in master). Just building the baseline profile is sufficient to test it. qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/persi.qcow2 1G qemu -cdrom archlinux-2011.08.23-i686.iso -hda /tmp/persi.qcow2 -boot d Create one partiton, make an ext2/3/4 filesystem, set a label, reboot, add to kernel cmdline cow_label=MY_LABEL, and enjoy. https://github.com/djgera/archiso/tree/cow_persistent

Continuing this on arch-releng ML. This started with a PM from me to Desmond on the wiki.

Here's what I suggest: - you put the page back - if you think really lots of effort is wasted by users not clearly seeing the page is not maintained through the wiki, we can make that a bit clearer (i.e. in the page header) - all contributions are welcome through git. specifically, let me know if the i8n patch @ https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22088 looks good to you.

[arch-releng] archiso feature request: disable progress bars.
by Dieter Plaetinck 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hello senior Gerardo, how about making a build.sh command argument to disable progress bars? I.e. it would call mksquashfs -no-progress my logfiles would look prettier :) I thought maybe you could do "don't show progress bars when non-verbose" but I like the verbose flag so I can see errors/warnings. or maybe you should always show errors/warnings, also when not verbose. then I could run without the verbose flag and don't see any progress bars.
