So now building on non-Arch +systems shuold work again. +Adjusted larch-setup to handle this new package. +'mirrorlist' now has '@carch@', which getPackageServer must handle (done +in PKGBUILD) + +2008.08.09 +Version 5.3.7 +The packages.txt file is no longer supplied in Arch repositories, so inpacs +now gets the list of base packages using (something like) 'pacman -Sg base'. +As of pacman-3.2 there is no longer a static build, so building larch systems +on non-Arch boxes will no longer work:( +Tweaked xmaxi profile. + +2008.07.30 +Version 5.3.6 +Remove unmaintained kde profile, replace mc-utf8 by mc in addedpacks + +2008.06.22 +Version 5.3.5 +Fix mklarch for building on non-Arch system: + - need to create package cache, otherwise inpacs complains. + - tweak pacman.conf configuration concerning 'Include =' lines. + - usb2bootiso needs bash (#!/bin/bash, not #!/bin/sh) + - xpack (and existing .xpk files) fix (bash, not sh, and -n option to tail) +Try to overcome problems with usb-stick creation when hal remounts device +after formatting, by adding umount command. + +2008.06.07 +Version 5.3.4 +Removed warnings about kconfig (as this is no longer included in Arch kernels. +Added check for mkisofs on host at beginning of buildlive (if building iso). +Added check for syslinux on target at beginning of buildlive (if not using +GRUB). +Minor profile tweaks. + +2008.05.15 +Version 5.3.2, adjusted initscripts approach so that it doesn't require a +custom initscripts package. Now rc.sysinit and rc.shutdown are replaced (in +buildlive) by larch versions which are compatible with the standard versions. +When larch-live is installed, the standard functions will be replaced by +larch functions. On installation using larchin larch-live will be removed +so the behaviour reverts to standard Arch behaviour, although the rc scripts +have been changed. But in any case the originals are saved so that they can +be restored on installation with larchin. + +Changed handling of pacman.conf slightly. When there is a pacman.conf in the +profile (base directory, not overlay), this will be copied to the working +directory and used by mklarch, even if there was already a version in the +working directory. The pacman.conf in the live system will be this version +if built using mklarch, otherwise the existing version. However an +'IgnorePkg' line is added for kernel26, aufs and initscripts. Packages +listed in the 'noupdate' file in the profile, will also be added. This +line will be removed on installation using larchin. + +2008.04.27 +Version 5.3.0, new initscripts approach, replacing functions in +/etc/rc.d/functions rather than replacing /etc/rc.sysinit and +/etc/rc.shutdown. At present this requires a custom initscripts package. + +2008.04.21 +Version 5.2.2, added usb2iso, a fairly primitive script to make an iso from +a larch usb-stick. It also works from a running larch system, but only on +systems with a lot of memory. + +2008.04.05 +version 5.2.1, slight reworking of overlay handling in profiles - now files +owned by root:root do not have to be in overlay.xpk, they can be held within +directory 'rootoverlay', and their ownership will be changed automatically. +Files to be copied to /.livesys at boot are now in larch/copy. +Added larchquit.py to larch-live - special larch quit/logout gui, allows +selecting session-save options and also autologin user before quitting desktop, +included it in xmini menu/panel. +Other tweaks to xmini profile. + +2008.02.27 +Incompatible changes. WARNING! +With version 5.2 the init system has changed, in particular a custom inittab +is now required, which means all old profiles are likely to fail (because of +the /etc/inittab in the overlay). + +2008.02.19 +added desktop stuff for documentation + +2008.02.18 +version 5.1.3, bugfixes and work on profiles +documentation updates + +2008.02.14 +Reorganization of directory layout, +new 'larchin' hard disk installer with gui. +larch version 5.1.0 +larch-live version 5.1.0 +larchin version 5.1.0 + +2008.01.13 +Adjustments for changes in pacman-3.1, version 5.0.8 + +2008.01.02 +Fixes for merging when file paths contain spaces (merge_overlay), version 5.0.7 + +2008.01.02 +larch-5 (with simplified union structure, no CD/DVD session save) available +for testing. + +Initial test release, version 5.0.6. |
