Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Arch Linux XO image and Sugar packages
Hi Daniel, Saw your comment on AUR and in fact I'm not sure what would be best. It seems it would be good to have a sugar as packaged on the XO (sugar), one with the latest stable versions of everything (sugar-devel), and one for the GIT version of everything (sugar-git). But that's maybe getting complicated... Shall we still do that ? This will mean a lot of packages, how can we best split the responsibilities for all of them ?

I haven't tried your packages yet because being a developer I prefer to work from git master... though it's great to have stable packages for Arch of course! Now that 0.100 is out you should be able to get rid of the python2 sed stuff simplifying the PKGBUILDs a bit.

Looking into it further, it may relate to how Daniel advises you to effectively destroy the device partition table by making the filesystem on /dev/sdb rather than the usual methods. The result may depend on what is already on the USB drive, and so is less predictable than partitioning. https://github.com/dnarvaez/archxo sudo mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sdb And yeah, I think I remember fixing access to filesystems that were not in a partition table. None of the OLPC install processes needed that though, so it wasn't fixed until recently. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
