It looks like in the latest aif the worker_mkinitcpio function is missing. I am using this function in Varch to prepare the initcpio for certain virtualized hardware, so I am just asking, what function should I overwrite in the aif config file instead to ensure that the mkinitcpio.conf is overwritten before the initcpio is generated?

Thanks

Yes, mkinitcpio building is no longer a separate worker. I refactored and simplified the code paths around the system configuration a while ago.

As you can see in the base procedure, or in either of the example profiles for the automatic procedure: the worker_configure_system will call preconfigure_target and postconfigure_target (whose source is in src/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh), the latter calls, amongst others, target_run_mkinitcpio

You should probably do like the example profiles and define something like:

worker_configure_system () { preconfigure_target <your custom code here> postconfigure_target }

Thanks Dieter! That will let me get varch back up to speed and working again! I need to set up a test sequence for varch so that I catch these when they happen -Thomas S Hatch
