I am not sure what happened in AIF, but archiso has seen some improvements. Should we push out a Christmas Release with the latest stuff?
Once the pacman 4/signing stuff is finished and in core, tweaks to AIF will be needed which will probably delay another release, so better do one now, before that happens.
What do you guys think?
Sounds good. At least we have two major features from end-user-pov in archiso: persistence and http/nfs in pxe (plus much more pxe-easy-setup)
I thought the signing stuff is getting close now?
Exactly, but that's going to delay the next release.
I would just do one new release that brings all archiso improvements along with a few aif fixes and the signing stuff.
Doing yet another release directly after the signing stuff is done shouldn't be a problem. But if we hit problems and need to delay, we still have a fairly recent snapshot and can thus take our time.
as for what's on the plate for AIF, check out: https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=index&project=6&status[]=open esp. the things labeled critical and high should be taken care of.
Any regressions compared to the previous release?
also, what needs to be first? pacman4/signing stuff in core, or new release? i thought we needed an archiso release with the signing stuff enabled before we could move pacman4/signing stuff to core. but i'm not sure why.
Once pacman 4 goes to core, we need signing in archiso and AIF. The archiso part is rather easy (set up a keyring for the live environment), the AIF part is harder
