[arch-releng] [RFC] ISO Releng size
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hello Some people complains about current [2016.04] (724M) size of our only ISO image is greater than CD [700M]. Next month ISO will be about (743M). (1) Keep things like now, and fix the Download page test "The image can be burned to a CD" -> "The image can be burned to a DVD". (2) Provide again single ISO per architecture (CD-friendly) and dual ISO (DVD needed). (3) Provide only single ISO per architecture (CD-friendly). (4) Remove some tools from ISO. Personally I am a bit neutrally here, I do not use CD or DVD for years, but I do not like the option (4), many tools are here by user request along time. My vote is for option (1) then (2). Thanks for reading.

[arch-releng] Trouble with EFI booting
by Christian Hesse 17 May '16

17 May '16

Hello everybody, I am having trouble with EFI booting the media, at least in virtualbox it fails for me. Instead of presenting the boot menu I am dropped to EFI shell. As I am not sure what caused the issue I open a new topic. We had some changes recently... New packages of efitools (replacing prebootloader) and dosfstools (which create the filesystem for emulated boot). I tried with various combinations of old package(s) and different configuration - but could not make it boot in virtualbox EFI virtual machine. Did anybody build an image recently and tested EFI functionality? -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}
