New subject: [arch-releng] [PATCH] Label creation on ISO and USB images

Both ISO and USB images now have a disk label like ARCHISO-yyyy.mm (ex. ARCHISO-2009.08). This is usefull to identify the images by user and is a base to identify the boot device during archiso-hook (see FS#10831) by /dev/disk/by-label. Also enabled the missing -C option of mkarchiso, so a specific pacman.conf could be supplied to mkarchiso.

I have three patches (2 + one correction) ready for this change. It boots on qemu (virtualbox crashes for some reason) from CD, didn't try USB yet. I'll clean up and send the patches tomorrow. This should make detection more reliable. @Dieter: On another note, you should probably remove the intel modem drivers from the package list (intel-536ep, intel-537). Also add the intel 5150 firmware which is missing until now.

As long as it's in core, I don't mind.

core/iwlwifi-5150-ucode (This should be added)

Yes. It only supports very few cards, but still.

...

extra/madwifi (IMHO not absolute needed anymore and it could collide with kernel atheros module)

No. Don't add it, it will only conflict with ath5k or ath9k. It is in extra if someone really wants it.

core/iwlwifi-5150-ucode (This should be added) ok

extra/brltty (Not sure if this is usefull without special modifications on CD/Installer. We have had already a discussion about barriere free... But adding id won't harm us and braille user has the needed kernel module) if it doesn't conflict with the stuff we currently use, let's add it

extra/madwifi (IMHO not absolute needed anymore and it could collide with kernel atheros module) no idea. don't know much about wireless (other then that ethernet kicks its ass and doesn't fry my brains)

IMHO with these we have most packages on image to set the user able to access internet - and install additional packages he must/will have.

I don't see a reason for them to be there. They're drivers for some internal windows modems, which are too slow for FTP installation anyway. And I don't like binary blobs on our ISO.

this is the one we should include?

Yes. The 5000-ucode support all 5XXX cards except the 5150.

...

Most is in-kernel anyway.

Ok, i added iwlwifi-5150-ucode to packages lists on sigurd, so it is in the next images (RC). I don't add the brltty package, cause this would install most of X libs etc. as depends.. We should think about that when looking closer to barriere free solution... I remove the intel-536ep, intel-537 from the i686 package list. I also will add pcmcia hook to the initrd images, so install devices on this bus could also be used... Gerhard

There was some guy working on an ISO for blind people. I think we shouldn't bother making our default ISO barriere free, as it adds much complexity. Rather see if a community project evolves out of the efforts for the blind people and then add that as a separate ISO.

Good idea, we had to do this ad-hoc last FrOSCon for some guy.

Yes, it is useful on LiveCD, providing that user has a firmware somewhere. I used it to install Arch on my laptop using WiFi connection on my job, with firmware downloaded from a working computer and stored on an USB flashdrive. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
