[arch-releng] [archiso] Refactor configs/releng -> build only dual-iso on x86_64
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello I want to know is this idea is still valid/wanted, was discussed when [core] generation was removed, and distribute only dual-iso. Pierre talks about removing single iso generation also from build.sh script (if I do not remember bad). So... My plan is: (1) Remove posibility of building single-iso. (2) Build only dual-iso. (3) Per (1) and (2) => configs/releng/build.sh will only work on x86_64. Some time ago I made some modifications, but I lost the changes, I remember that as result, the code was reduced but I have some issues and I did not finished at all. Feedback is really apreciated. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1

[arch-releng] December snapshot
by Pierre Schmitz 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

Hi, I was planing to do a new snapshot on Saturday December 1st. I create a test image today and also did an install without any issues. Am I right that there are no changes in archiso itself worth a new tag? (at least none that would affect the resulting image) Please let e know asap if there are any issues or you like to have some bug fixes included. As I am a little late this time we could still postpone this till next week if there are still things to do. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com
