[arch-releng] December snapshot
Hi, I was planing to do a new snapshot on Saturday December 1st. I create a test image today and also did an install without any issues. Am I right that there are no changes in archiso itself worth a new tag? (at least none that would affect the resulting image) Please let e know asap if there are any issues or you like to have some bug fixes included. As I am a little late this time we could still postpone this till next week if there are still things to do. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com

I need to do some quick test, I think should work with current packages. Yes there is only one commit in archiso, but does not modify the target, is just a cosmetic change. I guess UEFI with gummiboot is still broken on Asus motherboards, but I have no access during these time, to a machine with this firmware, to test and debug with gummiboot creators. I can now tag archiso and package it? I need to know how to do these things :) -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1

For now i suggest using refind-efi refindx64.efi with the following config: ---- (USB)/EFI/boot/refind.conf ---- textonly showtools about,reboot,shutdown,exit scanfor manual menuentry "Arch Linux Archiso x86_64" { volume ARCH_201212 loader /arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz initrd /arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img ostype Linux graphics off options "add_efi_memmap archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201212" } menuentry "UEFI x86_64 Shell v2" { volume ARCH_201212 loader /EFI/shellx64_v2.efi graphics off } menuentry "UEFI x86_64 Shell v1" { volume ARCH_201212 loader /EFI/shellx64_v1.efi graphics off } -------------------------------------------------- I don't have access to my laptop right now so I can't send a patch. In my Thinkpad E430 both gummiboot and rEFInd work fine. Regards. Keshav

This is auto detected.
graphics off
This is the default.
options "add_efi_memmap archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201212"
add_efi_memmap: As said before I want to avoid any workaround by default. Is this option is really needed on EFI, why is not enabled by default when booting via EFI-stub loader?
}

I prefer to see gummiboot/gnu-efi fixed instead of switching again to another EFI boot manager method. Maybe we get fixed it soon. The change will be to syslinux, when 6.0 version appears. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1

So I read this as something that we wont get fixed in the next days then? As it's not a regression we probably don't need to hurry anyway.
I can now tag archiso and package it? I need to know how to do these things :)
Doing a tag just for this on change is probably not worth it. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com

Can we get a git snapshot of hefurd? It has some minor but useful improvements, like automatic torrent removal. Regarding the ISO: it was a quiet month, so apart from a better kernel version, everything should be the same.

I uploaded a new image and it's syncing to the mirrors already. I'll probably announce it tonight. Let me know if anything is seriously broken though; at least before the announcement we could still pull or patch it. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com
