Since I'm the only other releng person, some people expect me to do it,
even though I don't like being involved in archiso and I already spend
a lot of time on all other releng tasks (aif, image building, image
testing, releasing, ...)
Gerardo knows archiso and has commit access to it, but he also has
little time and he never made any commitment to us in any way (he is
just a community member).
Gerardo has done some work in the past, but not in the last 3 months.
This is worse than I thought: I saw Gerardo reply to some patch sent,
but he never commited it. I even sent him an email if he could finish
some cool work that I started, but he never got back to me. I assumed he
was semi-active, which apparently is false.
(The work I started was about making a self-contained image in the
/arch/ directory on the ISO. This is partially done already, but I
recently succeeded in moving /syslinux/ into /arch/ and only leave
behind a tiny /boot/ directory that would chdir() to /arch/boot/syslinux
when loading. This would further simplify installing onto an existing
vfat USB drive, as you only need to
1) copy the whole /arch folder
2) extlinux --install /mnt/arch/boot/syslinux
3) adjust the archisolabel in the syslinux configuration files)
Thomas (and a few other devs) know archiso and has commit access, but
he also has more then enough Arch stuff on his plate.
Hell, and I can't even get that done.
If someone can collect the pending patches from this list (and maybe
Gerardo's github) for me, I can check and apply them. But I guess we
desperately need a maintainer for archiso. It is a task with not a lot
to do, but still needs to be done.
Hello,
First, sorry for "no response".
I can take this weekend to review all pending archiso patches.
I think that there are at least three patches:
1) Thomas: syslinux/arch directory structure.
2) Charles: autologin on tty1
3) Simo: serial port support.
Please let me know if there are more. Please resend to ML and append in
the tittle [archiso].
There are minor issues (can be considered as cosmetic) with aufs2 and
util-linux-2.19 that I want to report to upstream.
PS: I will change compression from gzip -> xz by default when 2.6.38
hits [core].
Hi,
I also have this one:
Allow to execute a script at boot specified with the kernel boot parameters
http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2011-March/001537.html
Thanks
Charles
