What do you think? Great work on the accessibility changes to help make Arch easier to use for people with disabilities! A news item would be fantastic. (As for deprecating build.sh I don't really think that is important news for Arch, as it is really just a developer change for people building ISO images. I guess if you're writing a news post anyway, it is an opportunity to add a footnote.) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

What do you think? I think accessibility is a huge milestone that, on its down, deserve a news entry. I have assisted a blind person to install Arch some time ago and it was very difficult. In the end, I wrote a small script to help with the installation. And this is not because the person wasn't technically able, but our iso didn't made it easy. Nice work!

[arch-dev-public] archiso v49 with new features
Hey all! So, there are some exciting news for the upcoming archiso release! Maybe some of you have followed the presentations during Arch Conf 2020. I did one on archiso. The upcoming v49 will include accessibility features for blind and visually impaired, making it possible to install Arch Linux with the help of auditory feedback. Not only the resulting ISO itself has accessibility support now, but also the script to test a built image locally - run_archiso (via an option flag). Many thanks go to Alexander Epaneshnikov for spending the time to integrate his efforts from the talking-arch project into our builtin releng profile! Additionally, the use of build.sh scripts per profile has been removed. This is due to the fact that archiso has moved to (mostly) declarative profiles, which makes creating profiles less complicated (as now only mkarchiso is required to build a profile). There are still a few outstanding rough edges, but most of those are already tracked and I believe we have arrived at a pretty decent state by now. Many thanks go to nl6720 for a lot of brainstorming, implementing, breaking and fixing! :) If this mail reads like a changelog, then well, it is because I don't have a changelog in the project yet! ;-) Apart from that I thought it might be worthwhile to write a news item about it after the next ISO has been released and share the above two changes on the website.
