I'd be up for it. I have some ideas around certain possible test scenarios in regards to packer and ansible already. What is currently still unclear to me is how the archiso and bootstrap images on our download page are exactly generated from archiso (the actual specific calls) and whether a semi-automated way of doing that exists (I guess this question is aimed towards Pierre). I would like to automate this as far as possible and make this more transparent when maintaining archiso. How do we go on from here? Best, David Hi David, Thanks for coming forward to handle this. I'm going to set your write access to the git repository for Archiso. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini pgpZ22WwH8cXT.pgp Description: PGP signature

I believe the following two mails in the mentioned arch-dev-public thread are most relevant: [2][3]. Having said that, I agrees on removing fontconfig & xorg-mkfontscale.
