2011-11-28[archiso] Add archiso_pxe_curl hookGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Its add support for downloading the ISO image via HTTP/FTP with curl or download *.sfs files. The files are downloaded on /run/archiso/curlspace (tmpfs) and setup a loop dev from it (like in archiso_loop_mnt) in the ISO case, or just do a bind mount to /run/archiso/bootmnt in the other case. This hook must be located after archiso_pxe_nbd in mkinitcpio.conf, in that way NBD is the default. New bootparm: * archiso_curl_url=(first form) archiso_curl_url=http://192.168.0.7/archlinux/iso/archlinux.iso (absolute form) Use an absolute URL. Fetch the entire ISO archiso_curl_url=ftp://${pxeserver}/archlinux/iso/archlinux.iso (relative form) Use the as IP the same server where PXE reside. Fetch the entire ISO * archiso_curl_url=(second form) archiso_curl_url=http://192.168.0.7/archlinux/iso/unpacked (absolute form) Use an absolute URL. Where unpacked (an example name) is a directory where ${archisobasedir} ("arch" by default) is located with all *.sfs. This fetch only needed files. archiso_curl_url=ftp://${pxeserver}/archlinux/iso/unpacked (relative form) Use the as IP the same server where PXE reside. Where unpacked (an example name) is a directory where ${archisobasedir} ("arch" by default) is located with all *.sfs. This fetch only needed files. * curlspace_size= Set a size for a tmpfs filesystem where files are downloaded. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-11-28[archiso] Split archiso_pxe_nbd in two hooks.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
One hook only setup the network device (archiso_pxe_common) the other setup the NBD client (archiso_pxe_nbd). New bootparam: archiso_pxe_srv=IP Allow to set an IP different from the PXE server. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2011-10-23[archiso] Add archiso_shutdown hook.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
STATUS: Working (std boot, loop_mnt, pxe) with copytoram=[y|n]. NEEDS: initscript > 2011.07.3, mkinitcpio > 0.7.2, mkinitcpio-busybox > 1.18.5-1 Purpose: we need this for propertly unmount $cow_device, used for persistent dm-snapshot devices. This hook is based on work from Tom Gundersen[#1], but adapted for archiso things (specially the shutdown script) [#1] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-projects/2011-July/001549.html [#2] http://projects.archlinux.org/initscripts.git/commit/?id=1fa7b4b453e96533ae1db3630031285e5fc302b3 [#3] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-projects/2011-August/001749.html Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-06-18[archiso] Use dm-snapshot instead of aufs2 (A.K.A. "The Big Commit")Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* Use device mapper + snapshot module, instead union layer filesystem. * A block-level approach vs vfs-level. * No more unofficial (Linux) things. * More memory is needed. * Refactor mkarchiso. * Refactor hooks/archiso. * Fix install/archiso_pxe_nbd (due recent change in mkinitcpio-0.6.15 on checked_modules()/all_modules()) [Thanks Dave for the improved workaround] * New configs/releng to build official images. * Works with a Bash script instead of Makefile. (better control and easy to maintain) * Remove configs/syslinux-iso. * Remove archiso2dual script. Integrate functionality in configs/releng. * New configs/baseline to build the most basic live medium or use as template. * New README (draft).
