vbox build for `arch` #23

Open malice-0 opened 2 years ago

malice-0 commented 2 years ago

Repo contains template that needs to be tested on more computers.

A couple questions to answer:

  1. what packages do we actually need? Is just base and base-devel sufficient?
  2. Are there any barebones provisioners we should add? Maybe installing Docker?
  3. Does the boot command timing work on other, less powerful machines?

Also, the current setup is BIOS/GPT with boot, swap and root partitions, with the root partition using ext4. Is this desired or is there another configuration that makes more sense?

@rylagek forgot to tag you

rylagek commented 2 years ago

That configuration is fine. We're doing a basic install for now so the exact partitions don't matter that much

rylagek commented 2 years ago

Running the build gave an error so it looks like we need to better utilize zsh: zsh: ./install.sh: bad interpreter: /bin/sh^M: no such file or directory

rylagek commented 2 years ago

@atalkar did you get a zsh error?

malice-0 commented 2 years ago

@rylagek No, install.sh is able to kick off for me, and artifacts are created

rylagek commented 2 years ago

Interesting. I'll look into what's going on with my build

rylagek commented 2 years ago

via archiso both bash and sh are located in /usr/bin install.sh uses #!/bin/sh @atalkar does which bash or which sh return a different location for you?

malice-0 commented 2 years ago

@rylagek which does return that. It seems like on the iso /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/bash.

I tried changing the shebang to /bin/zsh for the scripts that run on the live image root (install.sh and partition.sh) and that seemed to work. I didn't look into it but it seems like zsh isn't in the packages we install, so bootloader.sh and packer.sh failed when I tried to use it, since they run with /mnt as the fs root.

@atalkar interesting, I'll try to find some time to take a look at that this evening
