I do not know about how these scripts works, the only thing that I can say is about archiso: build.sh (wrapper to mkarchiso) does not have a parameter to set a pacman.conf, so mkarchiso by default will use /etc/pacman.conf. has this always been like this?

Can you point me where is supposed to be used these files in releng-scripts? I can not found any references in the tree.

exactly, that's what I said. I don't know where these files are ever used. They should be used when building the iso's.

Weird. sure? But think that these files are never used, because: They are out-of-date (compared to newer pacman.conf) -> There are no "SigLevel" -> Default "SigLevel" is used, that is "Optional TrustedOnly" by pacman-4 -> without manual interaction pacman will not work. -> no ISOs. But we have ISOs all times :) Or I am missing something? -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1

these files date back to back when Gerhard and I were working on the env.  I.e. multiple years ago. At some point, they must have been used for something.

So finally is there any iso build with testing repo enabled? - Keshav
