'mklarch' now only covers -initial builds including installation - 'mklarch -h' for usage notes. Note -that the options have changed!!! For instance, 'mklarch -p' now expects a -directory as argument and there is no option to copy an example profile to -the current directory. - -'pacin' replaced by 'inpacs' - 'inpacs -h' for usage notes. It is now -possible to fully customize pacman caches, and even pacman databases, -including the use of locally networked computers as source (using sshfs or -NFS). Thus a larch build can be made without an internet connection, if -all the packages are available locally on a suitably configured Arch -system. - -Completely new union/overlay structure. The overlay is now copied to the -writable union layer at boot, and can be copied back at shutdown. This -should speed up session-saving, especially through the use of lzo -compression rather than squashfs. An additional advantage is that no extra -memory is required for the reconstruction of the archive. - -When the overlay gets too large it can be merged into the secondary overlay, -a squashfs archive (like in previous larch versions). This takes somewhat -longer and requires memory for its construction, but subsequent simple -session saves (to the primary layer) will be faster because of the reduced -size. - -It should now also be possible to run 'larchify' on a running live system, -allowing a complete reconstruction of the system from within itself, -merging in updates - in principle even kernel updates should be manageable -using this method. |
