Threading replaced to a large extent by separate + processes. The GUI is now just a front end to the command-line tools. + +*! Changed handling of pacman.conf. Now there is pacman.conf.repos + instead of pacman.conf.larch, I hope it will be a bit easier to + understand what happens when using a special version for installation. + +* 'include' facility in package files: '+' + relative or absolute path + +* Required/suggested packages included by default (data/requiredpacks) - + they can be excluded by putting them in the veto file. The whole + file can be overridden in addedpacks by starting it with '!!!'. + +* Include directive ('+' + absolute or relative path to file) in + package files. + +* Boot loader configs for GRUB and syslinux included in the image, plus + bootlines file, to ease transfer of built image to alternative medium. + vesamenu.c32 is no longer supplied with larch, it is fetched from the + Arch installation (syslinux). + +* A command line option to live_part.py is available to override the + profile's 'nosave' file, but this is always copied to the medium + ('larch/nosave') - if it is present - to indicate the profile's + 'intention'. + +* A file 'nosshkeys' in the profile suppresses generation of the host + sshkeys (if openssh is installed - if not they wouldn't have been + generated anyway). Previously this was only selectable as a direct + build option (not stored anywhere). + +* The root password can be supplied in the profile, in the file 'rootpw'. + Previously this was not easily settable. + +* Changed some options to mkisofs, generally to make it more similar to + the partition builder (no -publisher, use -V instead of -A so + that the name gets shown in file managers, -R instead of -r). + +* When building an isolinux image, the 'isohybrid' script is called, so + that the resulting 'iso' can be 'dd'ed to a USB-stick (see the isolinux + documentation). This does not make the USB-stick session-save capable + as the file-system it creates is not suitable, but it might be a + useful distribution feature. + +* Added ability to save and reuse generated locales, in a way similar + to the saving of system.sqf. |
