[arch-releng] [PATCH 2/2] dev_used_by_environment(): follow symlinks
by Thomas Hebb 20 May '12

20 May '12

Make dev_used_by_environment follow symbolic links before checking to see if a device should be excluded. This assumes that the paths in /run/aif/ignore_block_devices are fully resolved.

[arch-releng] [PATCH 1/2] find_usable_blockdevices(): prevent duplicate entries
by Thomas Hebb 20 May '12

20 May '12

Fix a regression introduced in a8f3fa4329 which causes duplicate entries to be returned for a block device in certain cases and prevents manual mountpoint configuration (FS#29859).

[arch-releng] [archiso] keep name resolver settings
by Christian Hesse 19 May '12

19 May '12

Hello everybody, I am not shure if this is the correct place to report or if there is any better one... If so - please let me know. Ok, the initrd hooks from archiso support PXE booting. In this case the initrd is responsible for setting up the network. All these setting are persistent, so are still valid after changing to the real system. With one exception: name resolver settings (namely file /etc/resolv.conf) are lost, which ends up in a system with network connectivity that can not resolve a single host. Even worse: When launching a dhcp client you may get a new address and end up with something completely useless as nbd connection is lost. I would like to write the final /etc/resolv.conf from within initrd. For me this completely solves the problem. Patch is attached. -- Best regards, Chris O< ascii ribbon campaign stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

Hi Chris, What conflicts are you having problems with? mkarchiso install packages without any interaction for the most part.

[arch-releng] Removing packages from archiso
by Mr Green 06 May '12

06 May '12

Hi, I am trying to build an iso that includes LTS kernel at the moment I can add linux-lts to package list. Need a clean way to remove linux [kernel]. Thinking along the lines of adding a 'pacman -R' to mkarchiso, possibly adding something like _pacman () maybe _pacman_remove(). Not sure it will be a possible patch as it may be of any other use to anyone. Ideas are easy creating them is a different story Mr Green

[arch-releng] Missed LTS reply
by Mr Green 05 May '12

05 May '12

Hi, I am sorry I missed your reply to my LTS kernel problem, very aware that you do not want to have an lts installation version. I am going to take your advice and modify build.sh to suit my needs. Adding an option to install lts kernel to archiso would create more problems than it solves. I was going to create a metapackage [base-lts] this would drag in linux-lts as opposed to linux kernel. You would make my job a lot easier if you had an init-lts option [but that is not going to happen!] Thanks Mr Green ArchBang Developer
