[arch-releng] [PATCH] Initialize pacman keyring on bootup
by Tom Gundersen 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi, First of all, sorry for not getting the threading right, I just subscribed to this ML and don't know how to make GMail DTRT. > -DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng) > +DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng haveged pacman-init) Presumably, pacman won't be needed immediately on boot, so to appear a bit more "snappy" i guess it would make sense to do the pacman-init in the background. This would obviously only work if there is some lock in place to make pacman wait on pacman-init to finish in a graceful way. Is this the case? Cheers, Tom

[arch-releng] Use pandoc instead of make-doc.sh
by Dario Giovannetti 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

I would like to propose using pandoc ( http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ ) instead of the make-doc.sh script for converting the installation guide (Markdown syntax) to the document hosted in the wiki (MediaWiki syntax). I've tested it and the result looks pretty good, with only a few minor manual refinements required (which I volunteer to perform, if needed): instead of the current script, which practically produces an html document, we would get a correctly-formed, much neater MediaWiki document. This would greatly simplify further improvements in the wikification of the the guide, like the adaptation to ArchWiki's style standars. Thank you Dario

[arch-releng] mkarchiso & mkinitcpio problems
by Mr Green 28 May '12

28 May '12

Hi, I have fixed the problems I had with my build script, I needed to run mkinitcpio under mkarchiso -r <command> run [as per wiki]. Other errors were down to me :) Managed to get linux-lts kernel working live, but loading base packages less linux then installing linux-lts did not work as then it broke with errors of can not find /dev. So I loaded up both kernels then simply removed linux [kernel] after additional packages were loaded and of course made changes to mkinitcpio. Will make the changes for efiboot in next few days. Now waiting for systemd changes to hit the repos Thanks again for your help and patience MrG

[arch-releng] mkarchiso arch wiki guide
by Mr Green 25 May '12

25 May '12

After having problems with getting my build script running I thought I would test out Arch Linux Archiso guide. Think this is wrong # cp /lib/initcpio/hooks/archiso work/root-image/lib/initcpio/hooks # cp /lib/initcpio/install/archiso work/root-image/lib/initcpio/install Should be /usr/lib Set up directory and then run mkarchiso -r "mkinitcpio -c /etc/mkinitcpio-archiso.conf -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -g /boot/i686/archiso.img" run Got this error ==> ERROR: Unable to write to path: `/boot/i686/archiso.img' Not sure what is wrong, am fully up to date... not sure if archiso has had any changes in the last few days?

Re: [arch-releng] mkinitcpio

I have done some reading up and made changes to my build.sh to follow arch wiki guide So I now use mkarchiso -r "mkinitcpio -c ${script_path}/mkinitcpio.conf -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts -g ${_dst_boot}/${arch}/archiso.img" run Which is the correct way :) I only noticed --basedir stuff today when I updated mkinitcpio /me slaps wrist....
