arch-live-20080210 released

godane · 2008-02-10 23:28:26

I have update arch-live yesterday but i think its ok to call it 20080210 release. I change the version cause arch linux is a rolling distro so there is no need for betas, RC, etc.

there are a lot of programs add in this release. here is the list of module/programs in modules subfolders:

libs folder:
* boost
* chmlib
* jre
* libmysqlclient
* libstdc++5.lzm
* mysql-clients
* qt3 and qt4
* swt
* wxgtk & wxgtk-2.6
* xulrunner

server folder:
* apache
* lighttpd
* mysql-python
* mysql
* php

xapps folder:
* deluge
* epdfview
* flashplugin
* geany
* gftp
* gimp
* gqview
* gtk-recordmydesktop & recordmydesktop
* gtkpod
* inkscape
* isomaster
* mplayer
* openoffice-base
* pidgin
* smplayer
* speedcrunch
* urlgfe
* xchm

xgames folder:
* lincity-ng
* tuxguitar
* warzone2100
* zsnes

NOTE: tuxguitar and zsnes don't have desktop files. This is not my fault. The maintainer of these packages didn't make them.

Arch-live is a lot more module now with this new design. Most of the deps are in 08-xlibs and 05-common. Also firefox, firefox-i18n, and wicd are in base/extra folder. I thought you should know that before questions come up. This iso file is 612mb now. So its a lot big and took me 3 and a half hours to upload. I believe i may have for got something but I leave that for you figure out.

I hope this helps everyone out there.

Hi godane thanks a lot for this effort, I asked a bunch of questions in yhe last thread you started, I think you should maintain a single thread in the forum..;)

@tomk: shall we make a bet?

venky80 · 2008-02-11 01:06:03

how can i load and unload modules, does it make rc.conf useless, is there a wiki or a tutorial you are working on?
How does final release of slax 6 impact arch-live?

godane · 2008-02-11 01:22:32

you can load module with in shell:

uselivemod /path/to/module.lzm

You can also right-click on a module in thrunar and click 'use module' option.

You can remove module with this in shell:

rmlivemod modulename

There is no need for a modulename.lzm in rmlivemod command. rmlivemod will only remove modules that doesn't have open/running files.

arch-live will have the new linux-live scripts when i can test them and add my custom options. I'm also going to see how to make the kernel more arch compatible if possible. I have kernel source if you want it.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, I am a total newbie, I have no experience with any development, but i like the idea of loading and unloading large chunks of features as modules....how can I make modules of the packages I download using pacman. Also where are all the modules stored? How can I remove the modules you have for xfce and add mine for kdemod?
I mean I want to just have your arch core module and add my own applications and DE.
Also I think you have missed xf86-video-vesa driver in your X module......
Thanks again for all the effort

seems like no one really cares about a modular arch....it is disappointing , i really would like to lean more about it. Also very excited about the upcoming slax 6 release.
Is there a more lively forum for your project anywhere else godane?

ibendiben · 2008-02-12 20:40:11

I remember there where quite a few reactions, don't expect to much. It's surely interesting, but it still seems a bit early to try out for some... you don't need to get 'life' all the time you know.

It's not about this project, but faunOS, a live-system based on (l)arch has quite an active forum.
