Hello everybody, the official ISO file includes intel-ucode, which requires changes to the bootloader for early microcode. Will we see changes before November release? -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Chris get my mail address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig */b/42*2-3)*42);}

[arch-releng] Good news! overlayfs merged for 3.18!
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 27 Oct '14

27 Oct '14

Wow!, finally we have now officially a kind of "union filesystem". The overlayfs was promised for 3.1 without no luck, and now is merged in 3.18-rc2 [#1] During next weeks I will open a new branch "overlayfs" in archiso.git to start testing it. PS: Anyway I like dm-snapshot :P [#1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/26/137
