Maybe now wait for mkinitcpio-0.6 hit [core] (when I wrote this TODO, mkinitcpio was alpha, but the progress was fast in last days). > Is there an existing bug report on the dual architecture stuff? I think that dual, will be for next release, there is nothing finished for that. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[arch-releng] A TODO draft for next installation media.

Hello I am writing a kind of draft of things that I think that should be kept in mind for the next release: * Release archiso (2010.02) with the current [core], the previous intent was for 2009.12. (I guess this will be the last release with mkinitcpio based on klibc) * Merge the all pending changes to archiso from Svenstaro [#1] * Merge the all pending changes to archiso from me [#2] * Make an updated aif package with latest fixes. * Make all four hybrid ISO images core-{i686,x86_64} and net-{i686,x86_64} (images for testing) * Update the very very old "archiso" package in extra at this point. * ISOs should be uploaded after KDE SC 4.4 hits extra to avoid mirror issues. * Any other things? Please add it. I recently builded an "archiso-2010.02" on i686 without any issues, boot fine on KVM in both modes (as disk and as cdrom). When all this is done, a branch ""kill-klibc"" can be created in archiso, for working with new mkinitcpio 0.6. (I made some testings here, with a trivial patch [#3] [#4]). Also a dual-arch ISO can be started for next archiso release. All comments are welcomed. Good luck!
