[arch-releng] [archiso] /run/initramfs/ too big
by Thomas Bächler 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

On archiso, /run/initramfs is too big. Every symlink has turned into a copy. It also has /lib and /usr/lib, both with identical contents. This makes /run/initramfs 21MB, and most of it is duplicates.

[arch-releng] resignation
by Dieter Plaetinck 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Hi, I'm stepping down as last remaining releng member. It's not so much lack of time, it's more about lack of mental energy/interest. Some other devs (and Gerardo) are already taking good care of archiso, Thomas manages to patch up the releng scripts every time they break, and now there's some interest in installer scripts again, so I guess now is a good time for me to throw the towel. I've been pondering doing this for already a long time, I even wrote a few resignation mails at some points, but always discarded them before sending. AIF is arguably an over-engineered piece of software, but only because it aimed to make it "dead-easy" for users to do installations - even complicated ones - (and not just interactive, but also automated ones) which I still think is a noble goal worth pursuing, but we're too small of a team to maintain it, and me being the only one who understands it doesn't help either. If it would have been written in python it could have been more elegant and simple and might have had a very different life (with more interest from the community/other devs). I've definitely learned a lot from it, and have a bunch of ideas on how things can be done better if one would like to pursue the goals that aif pursues, but lack the interest in devoting more energy. Although I might be interested to help out if others take the lead. I would like to thank everyone who's ever contributed to Arch Linux in one way or another (some of you guys are very dedicated), There's also the guys at (open)suse who are doing lovely projects (mirrorbrain, autoinst, openQA, ...) and who have tried to work with us, I regret not being able to giving them the attention they deserve. (there's the autobuilds, the openQA automatic tests, the iso feedback webapp, which are by themselves useful but we haven't been able so far to tie them together. I still think we can achieve the autobuild+autotest+autorelease system I know some of us are dreaming of) I also look back happily on speaking with everyone in the AL community I've ever met, I never met somebody I didn't like. My personal hilights being Froscon 2009 (http://dieter.plaetinck.be/froscon_2009_afterthoughts -- check the picture of Gerhard and I!) and Archcon 2010 (http://dieter.plaetinck.be/back_from_canada_archcon.html) which was not only great for the Arch love, my trip to Canada was one of the best trips of my life, and I got to meet Dusty, who I now consider a close personal friend. good luck with AL and with your personal lives. Dieter

Just wanted to thank Dieter for all his hard work with arch-releng. We as Iso builders would have put more effort into arch-releng if we were seen in a different light on AF. Simply because of all your hard work I have been forced into learning bash :)... Best wishes for the future MrG

[arch-releng] ISO test builds are back
by Thomas Bächler 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

I took the time to fix up the ISO build process. ISOs should now build again nightly. I removed AIF and added Dave's arch-install-scripts. These are incomplete and undocumented, so any installation you do with those images right now is done manually. Everyone who still wants to use the images can get them from the releng server [1] or boot them via netboot [2]. [1] https://releng.archlinux.org/isos/ [2] https://releng.archlinux.org/pxeboot/

[arch-releng] group-ignore
by Mr Green 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

I quickly wrote these lines as a workaround to ignore issue I was having #!/bin/bash # Group name group_pkgs='xorg-drivers' # Package to ignore ignore_pkg='xf86-video-intel-sna' # Load up xorg_pkgs with group packages less ignored driver xorg_pkgs=$(pacman -Sg xorg-drivers | \ sed -e "s/$group_pkgs //g" -e "/${ignore_pkg}/d") # Simply a way to check variable is loaded echo $xorg_pkgs You can simply load up $xorg_pkgs into mkarchiso in build script or push output to a file your choice. Have added a bug report to Arch Bugs but not holding my breath.... MrG

[arch-releng] xorg-drivers
by Mr Green 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

quote: this is unrelated with arch-releng, please report such thing in bugs.archlinux.org, thanks It is not a bug as pacman is doing what it is told to do, I was merely warning people. pacman -S xorg-drivers --ignore xf86-intel-sna will more than likely work [not tried it yet!] may need addition of --no-confirm --needed The fact remains that mkarchiso ignores--- ignore in pacman.conf Will look at code later to see if I can make a workaround MrG
