Which packages -to install is a feature of the profile, as is the basic design of the -'pacman.conf' file. The exact location of the packages (repository -and cache paths) are more related to the build environment. -</p> - -<h3>Package selection</h3> - -<p>See <a href="archin.html#package_selection">here</a> for details of how -the list of packages to be installed is built up. The gui offers -convenient editing of the 'addedpacks' and 'vetopacks' files. -</p> - -<p><em>pacman</em> configuration is handled in separate parts. -'pacman.conf' is effectively split into two, the options part and the -repositories part can be edited separately, though the default options -should be alright for most purposes. This split might ease management -of updates to the structure of the file 'pacman.conf' with new pacman -releases. Default versions of both parts (for the options part a complete -pacman.conf can be used, the repositories will be stripped automatically) -are supplied in the 'data' directory of the 'larch' package. -A simplified format is used for the repository file, details can be -found <a href="archin.html#pacman_conf">here</a>. -</p> - -<p>Note that the <em>larch</em> repository must be available for building -the <em>live</em> system, i.e. it must be included in the 'pacman.conf' -used for the installation process. It is not strictly necessary for the -resulting <em>live</em> system to include this repository. See below for -further details. -</p> - -<h3>'mirrorlist'</h3> - -<p>It is possible to customize the 'mirrorlist' file used for installation. -This can be very convenient, because when building a <em>live</em> system -the build environment can be very different from the run-time environment. -For example, you might use local package repositories for building which -cannot possibly be available when the <em>live</em> system is used. -</p> - -<p>Customized versions of the 'mirrorlist' file are not regarded as -belonging to the profile, because they are build environment specific, so -they are stored in the project directory, which is made current when the -larch backend scripts are run. -</p> - -<h3>Special installation repositories and cache</h3> - -<p>Adjustments to the installation repository file and cache location are -treated as 'advanced' options, because in many cases the defaults will be -perfectly adequate. -</p> - -<h4>Using different mirrors/repositories for the installation</h4> - -<p>The second part of the 'pacman.conf' file, the repository list, can be -specified separately for the installation, via the frame -'Use project repository list'. For certain build environments this can be -very useful. -</p> - -<p>A further way of getting a distinct 'pacman.conf' in the resulting -<em>live</em> system is to put it in the profile's 'rootoverlay' directory -(in the '/etc' subdirectory, as usual). -</p> - -<h4>Package cache</h4> - -<p>Normally the host's standard package cache will be used for the -installation, but it is possible to use a non-standard location. I guess, -however, that this will not normally be necessary. -</p> - -<h3>GUI Tab: Installation Tweaks</h3> - -<p>At present the only thing offered here is a bit of assistance in -managing packages within the installation. The database can be -resynchronized, packages can be added or removed. During testing it can -be helpful to be able to make quick changes like this, but it is probably -not a good idea to use these facilities too freely. The installation will -differ from the specification in the profile (unless you immediately edit -the profile too), which may be no problem for one-offs, but if you ever -want to reuse the profile you may well lose track of what changes you have -made. -</p> - -</div> - - - - <div class="topref"><a href="#top">Top</a></div> - </div> - <!-- begin: #footer --> - <div id="footer"> - <div id="footer-content" role="contentinfo">© 2010 Michael Towers<br /> - Page layout assisted by <a href="http://www.yaml.de/">YAML</a> and - <a href="http://www.kuwata-lab.com/tenjin/">pyTenjin</a> - </div> - </div> - <!-- end: #footer --> - </div> - <!-- end: #col1 --> - <div id="bottom"><div id="bl"><div id="bm"></div></div></div> - </div> -</div> -<!-- full skiplink functionality in webkit browsers --> -<script src="css/yaml/core/js/webkit-focusfix.js" type="text/javascript"></script> -</body> -</html> |
