[arch-releng] ArchIso bootloader
by Alexandr Epaneshnikov 12 Oct '19

12 Oct '19

hello. since i work on #63166 <https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63166?project=6>i have sum questions about archiso project. As far as I understand, two loaders are used. syslinux for bios and systemd-boot for efi. is it so? and why it is so? i modified syslinux config <https://github.com/alex19EP/talkingarch/raw/accessible-upstreem/configs/rel…> to add another entry with kernel cmdline options. do i need to add another file in configs/releng/efiboot/loader/entries for efi support? why are archiso-x86_64-cd.conf and archiso-x86_64-usb.conf? thanks.

[arch-releng] [PATCH 0/7] Making archiso deterministic
by Daniel Edgecumbe 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

I've been working on making the output of archiso deterministic as runs as part of the archlinux-reproducible effort. This patch set represents some of those efforts. There's more that needs to be done - notably there are some external dependencies on things like the pacman mirrorlist generator, and pacman itself adds INSTALLDATE timestamps, but I thought I'd kick this off as an RFC if nothing else. Note that I have assumed that the GPLv2 applies to this repository and added it for clarity on my contributions. I have used the catchall 'Arch Linux Release Engineering Team' to represent previous efforts. We can change this to represent individual contributions as required - we have the Git history going back to 2006 and likely someone has the previous history. I welcome comment and testing. Daniel Edgecumbe (7): Add GPLv2 licence [releng] Retain the post-cleanup airootfs directory [releng] Reproducible gzip output [releng] Cleanup ldconfig aux-cache [releng] Add and use mkreproefi reproducible EFI build tool [mkarchiso] Force all ISO timestamps to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if present [releng] Add cpio to dependencies COPYING | 8 + GPL-2.0 | 359 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Makefile | 5 + archiso/mkarchiso | 12 ++ archiso/mkreproefi | 62 +++++++ configs/baseline/build.sh | 2 + configs/releng/build.sh | 23 ++- 7 files changed, 458 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) create mode 100644 COPYING create mode 100644 GPL-2.0 create mode 100755 archiso/mkreproefi -- 2.23.0

[arch-releng] compression
by Kev 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hi, Have just built isos based on compression systems currently with mkarchiso (including zstd). Seems xz has the best compression ratio. In terms of speed I have no idea. With arch media getting larger a way of reducing its size (maybe adding more applications) is of great interest to me. Have even tried to tar directories to see if I can reduce overall size, with no effect (even larger in some cases). Well aware that saving space on modern systems is not really an issue. Most usb drives are far larger than any dvd disc in terms of storage. Does creating a system image make more sense, similar too raspberry pi's? Would assume such an image could be updated fully (including kernel). *Kev*
