[arch-releng] Liveruser issue with 50.1-1
by Marco Obaid 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Greetings, After upgrading archiso to 50.1-1, I am running into an issue when building the Archiso. The build stops at a point when it attempts to set permissions (see below). The same process works fine in archiso 49-1. "liveruser" exists in both airootfs/etc/passwd and airootfs/etc/shadow. If I remove the liveuser entries from the airootfs/etc/passwd and airootfs/etc/shadow, the build resumes and the iso is built. ... [mkarchiso] INFO: Done! Packages installed successfully. [mkarchiso] INFO: Copying /etc/skel/* to user homes... [mkarchiso] ERROR: Failed to set permissions on 'work/x86_64/airootfs/home/liveuser'. Outside of valid path. Any advice on how to overcome this? Reviewing the documentation did not yield any success. profiledef.sh looks like this: #!/usr/bin/env bash # shellcheck disable=SC2034 iso_name=arcolinux-dev iso_label="arcolinux-dev-v21.01.1" iso_publisher="ArcoLinux <http://www.arcolinux.info>" iso_application="ArcoLinux Live/Rescue CD" iso_version="v21.01.1" install_dir="arch" bootmodes=('bios.syslinux.mbr' 'bios.syslinux.eltorito' 'uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp' 'uefi-x64.systemd-boot.eltorito') arch="x86_64" pacman_conf="pacman.conf" airootfs_image_tool_options=('-comp' 'xz' '-Xbcj' 'x86' '-b' '1M' '-Xdict-size' '1M') file_permissions=( ["/etc/shadow"]="0:0:400" ["/root"]="0:0:750" ["/root/.automated_script.sh"]="0:0:755" ["/usr/local/bin/choose-mirror"]="0:0:755" ["/usr/local/bin/Installation_guide"]="0:0:755" ["/usr/local/bin/livecd-sound"]="0:0:755" ) Thank you in advance for any hints!

[arch-releng] Contribute on Arch Linux' Gitlab
by David Runge 08 Oct '20

Hi all! As you might have read, archiso moved to our Gitlab instance [1]. While this is all great, unfortunately we are still some time away from opening up the instance to registration for the general public [2]. However, if you are interested in collaborating on archiso now already, you can! Please send a mail to Sven-Hendrik Haase <svenstaro(a)archlinux.org> and provide the email address and username you would like to use for Single-Sign-On (SSO) [3] (and mention this mail thread). Time to scrape up your forgotten patches! :) Best, David [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2020-May/003963.html [2] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/issues/39 [3] https://accounts.archlinux.org/ -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-releng] remove custom script
by Mr Green 12 Sep '20

12 Sep '20

Might be worth adding locales to profile aka _locale="US" Then mkarchiso could simply set up locales via arch-chroot Uncommenting servers is not always a good thing, either you do not get the fastest or most up to date server. Also I find it very lazy and a user should get used to editing files from day one if they are using Arch. Then we could say goodbye too customize script....

[arch-releng] custmize_airootfs function
by Mr Green 29 Aug '20

29 Aug '20

Am testing out gitlab mkarchiso and all seems fine except I am getting /etc/skel files put in /root? Rather than a users home directory? Files in /etc/skel should be for users rather than root. Archiso configs could easily ship with required files in /airootfs/root by default. If I turn off '#' out or disable function then /etc/skel files are not present any longer. They are present in both /root and /home/user folders?

Hi, Output from latest archiso scripts.. mrgreen@arch releng]$ ls airootfs build.sh efiboot isolinux packages.x86_64 pacman.conf profiledef.sh syslinux [mrgreen@arch releng]$ sudo mkarchiso profiledef.sh [mkarchiso] ERROR: Profile '/home/mrgreen/archiso/configs/releng/profiledef.sh' does not exist! [mrgreen@arch releng]$ Path is correct but mkarchiso does not see the profile. A problem with if statement maybe??

[arch-releng] Verbose
by Mr Green 26 Aug '20

Could the verbose option be streamlined in build.sh? Currently we have: # Packages (airootfs) make_packages() { if [[ "${gpg_key}" ]]; then gpg --export "${gpg_key}" > "${work_dir}/gpgkey" exec 17<>"${work_dir}/gpgkey" fi if [ -n "${verbose}" ]; then ARCHISO_GNUPG_FD="${gpg_key:+17}" mkarchiso -v -w "${work_dir}/x86_64" -C "${work_dir}/pacman.conf" -D "${install_dir}" \ -p "$(grep -h -v '^#' "${script_path}/packages.x86_64"| sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g')" install else ARCHISO_GNUPG_FD="${gpg_key:+17}" mkarchiso -w "${work_dir}/x86_64" -C "${work_dir}/pacman.conf" -D "${install_dir}" \ -p "$(grep -h -v '^#' "${script_path}/packages.x86_64"| sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g')" install fi if [[ "${gpg_key}" ]]; then exec 17<&- fi } In place of the -v could you not just have ${verbose} this would remove 5 lines of code (if statement) plus many other statements in script?
