[arch-releng] building 2.6.30 iso's

[Dieter Plaetinck]

Did anyone succeed at building 2.6.30 iso's?
Here are my notes:
- enable testing on your system and make sure your system runs the arch
  2.6.30 kernel
- update your whole system (squashfs tools are important)
- get latest archiso from git, sudo make install it
- in makefile sed 's/unionfs/aufs/g' on makechrootpkg (i think this is
  not needed anymore)
- change this (humanized diff)
configs/install-iso/Makefile
-kver=2.6.28-ARCH
+kver=2.6.30-ARCH

configs/install-iso/packages.list
-lshwd
-netkit-telnet
+inetutils
-rt2500

That's about as far as I get.
Here's my output:

When I "sniff" (replace /usr/bin/pacman with a script that calls the
real pacman and logs the exact invocation to a file) the last pacman
invocation, it seems to be this:

And when i run this manually i get:
dieter at dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch install-iso [master] eval sudo
`cat /home/dieter/paclog` Password: 
resolving dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nvidia-173xx: requires kernel26>=2.6.30

This looks weird to me.  There is no nvidia stuff in packages.list, nor
in the paclog file.  Besides I am running 2.6.30 already ?!
