Hello all
I want to know opinions about my recent work to archiso, since there are lots of changes. If someone can do some tests, they are very welcomed. Sugestions are very appreciated. Thanks :)
Basic documentation, done Comments in code, done. Testing all builds, done. Booting all builds, done.
Untested: archiso_pxe_nbd, and archiso_loop_mnt.
If there are no objections, I will merge dm-snapshot branch in official master branch in about 12 hours.
commit msg is:
[archiso] Use dm-snapshot instead of aufs2 (A.K.A. "The Big Commit")
* Use device mapper + snapshot module, instead union layer filesystem. * A block-level approach vs vfs-level. * No more unofficial (Linux) things. * More memory is needed. * Refactor mkarchiso. * Refactor hooks/archiso. * New configs/releng to build official images. * Removed configs/syslinux-iso. * Removed archiso2dual script. Now functionallity integrated in configs/releng. * New configs/baseline to build the most basic live medium or use as template. * New README file.
try to keep the commit message current tense. i.e: s/Removed/Remove/ s/Now functionality integrated/Integrate functionality/
Maybe add something like: * Replace limited Makefile with new build.sh script OK. If you have a bit of time, can you see the grammar of new README file?
And btw, I'm not sure 'releng' is a good name for the default configs, 'releng' is the name of the team doing the work and releasing images, but doesn't really describe the images which will be generated. I think something like 'installation-images' or 'official-images' or 'official-installation-images' or something would be better (the last one has my preference) Is a bit more descriptive, but I called it in that way, based on your git repo "releng" ('helper-scripts-for-build-and-release-official-installation-images') and in archweb/releng ('releng-testbuild-feedback') Talking seriously, I want to avoid long directory names.
