@amoka, that's a temporary issue. It will be solved when archiso 46 is released and lands in extra.

To use mkinitcpio-archiso-git instead of mkinitcpio-archiso:

  1. Setup a custom local repo and add mkinitcpio-archiso-git to it. Alternatively use an AUR helper that uses a custom local repo.
  2. Add the repo to configs/*/pacman.conf. There's an example at the end of the file.
  3. Replace mkinitcpio-archiso with mkinitcpio-archiso-git in configs/*/packages.x86_64.

Hi! build.sh scripts use mkfs.vfat from dosfstools package. We should depend on it Thanks, keep on the good work

Write arch rel-eng mailing list a patch or discuss a problem. It is a very responsive mailing list.

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-04-19 16:46 (UTC)

I would, but I can't seem to find how to do it.

svenstaro commented on 2012-04-19 11:37 (UTC)

Well I'm not going to do downstream patching. Report any issues and a patches you have to upstream.

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-04-19 11:34 (UTC)

After some tests the replacement command would actually be: cp -arv "${_fs_src}/." "${work_dir}/mnt/${_src}/" If the dot is missing then it will copy the directory, instead of it's contents. This will make rsync unnecessary.

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-04-19 09:15 (UTC)

In order to remove the rsync dependency you can use this command: < cp -arv "${_fs_src}/" "${work_dir}/mnt/${_src}/" >

Added rsync dep. Report the loop device stuff to upstream and have them add a check.

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-04-19 07:54 (UTC)

rsync dependencies here: mkarchiso, line 361: rsync -aH "${_fs_src}/" "${work_dir}/mnt/${_src}/" Also rsync hangs sometimes, and the only solution is a hard reset (as in from the button). I haven't found any checks for the loop devices! mkarchiso, line 97: mount "${_src}" "${_dst}" It doesn't throw any error if loop devices are not present! Instead it tries to unmount it later.

svenstaro commented on 2012-04-18 16:57 (UTC)

Which components depends on rsync? Also the script itself should check for loop devices.

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-04-18 16:56 (UTC)

This package also depends on rsync !!!! Also it fails if you don't have any loop devices available (no loop module in kernel), it should check for that. AUR packages can be installed if you modify the build script.
