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?

Hi David,

Thanks for coming forward to handle this. I'm going to set your write access
to the git repository for Archiso.

Please reply if you are interested in becoming an archiso maintainer,
so far Alad has shown interested.

Hi All,

Love to see a lot of people stepping up to help with archiso. Perhaps we
should do feature hunts more often, even for projects that have maintainers.

But, we still don't have anyone wanting to become the actual maintainer of
archiso to help implement these changes.

I don't really see archiso being a handful as it is now. But, that might change
with these features being introduced. Whomever takes it, should be able to cope
with that.

Regards,
Giancarlo Razzolini

Hi,

Arch-boxes and cloud images rely on the ISO. So I would be interested as
well and would definitely help out with automating/testing.

I'm interested on this.

And this.

I wonder if me and diabonas could step in and help with all of these
issues.

Thanks!

I am interested in working on Secure Boot, though I think that is more
of an administrative rather than a technical challenge, cf. [1], Section
"Suggested Action". Daniel Bermond has expressed interest in adopting
the necessary shim-efi package [2] to the repositories since he is its
current AUR maintainer, I am also happy to co-maintain that package.

Best,
Jonas

[arch-dev-public] Looking for an Arch ISO maintainer

2019-11-08 Thread Jelle van der Waa
Hi all,

Gerardo has stepped down as Arch ISO maintainer, which makes archiso
unmaintained. I've asked Pierres if he was interested in maintaining
the project and he is willing to do bug fixes when required but no major
maintenance. Which means that we are looking for a new maintainer :-)

To be completely honest, I am not sure what maintenance archiso requires
but there are a few things I would love to see:

- Proper CI / automated testing of the archiso
- Reproducible archiso (patches on the mailing list) [1]
- Support secure boot [2]
- Accessibility improvements (patches available on the mailing list) [3]

Please reply if you are interested in becoming an archiso maintainer, so
far Alad has shown interested.
