[arch-releng] Licensing of the archiso repository under the terms of the GPL-3.0

Hello again, as I'm obviously incapable of using e-mail at this time of day, I apologize again for the inconvenience of getting this mail so many times and hope that you'll answer *to this e-mail* instead of to the one to arch-general. Sorry again. I guess it is time to take a nap...

[arch-releng] archiso moved to gitlab
by David Runge 30 May '20

30 May '20

Hi all! Some of you might have noticed over the past weeks, that some of Arch Linux' projects are starting to migrate to our own gitlab instance [1]. Although we are not entirely done with opening our gitlab instance to the outside world yet [2], we have decided that now is as good as any time to move archiso and other projects over. Earlier this year I have decided to pick up this project, as it is in dire need of a new maintainer/ team. Development has been relatively slow over the past months (due to work and probably also due to this generally weird situation we're all in ;-) ). The repo can now be found at: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso I have started adding tickets for the existing tickets in flyspray (as I plan on completely discarding the flyspray tracker for archiso) and for some of the issues that have been raised on the mailing list since August. For a few I have already added merge requests and I plan on releasing a new version of archiso this weekend, due to some breaking changes to some of the components in use. My general plan is to from now on only work with the merge request and milestone system that gitlab offers and combine it with gitlab's CI (that still proves to be a bit of a tough cookie for unprivileged docker due to the various mounts required during build). All in all I think that as soon as we are able to open the instance up to the public for good this will be a much more transparent workflow for all of us.

[arch-releng] Latest ArchISO breaks 512MB RAM barrier
by Óscar García Amor 01 May '20

01 May '20

Hello all, Simply I wanted to tell you that the latest ArchISO image needs more than 512MB of RAM to boot. If you try to boot it in a machine (you can test with VirtualBox) with 512MB of ram you give a "Initramfs unpacking failed: write error" after Probing EDD line. Next in "Mounting '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_202005' to '/run/archiso/bootmnt' cannot mount and fallbacks to interactive prompt. I don't know if this is intentional or not. But I think that if the new ISOs need more than 512 MB or RAM to boot, maybe it is a good idea to publish a notice in Arch Linux web page.
