I am looking forward to build a custom archiso and am starting off of releng version.
I have been following the wiki to create the initial image, by:
Installing the archiso suite with:
pacman -S archisoCopy the profile with:
cp -r /usr/share/archiso/configs/profile ~/archiso-relengNow, with no modifications in place, I am running ./build.sh.
And this is where I occasionally stumble upon the prepare-copy step errors:

cp: cannot create regular file 'work/mnt/airootfs/usr/lib/modules/4.1.4-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/watchdog/it87_wdt.ko.gz': Not a directoryAnd no, it's not the same error always - sometimes that's another file; sometimes multiple files; sometimes no files, hence no errors and it goes on to create the ISO.
If I get this error, I have tried re-running the ./build.sh, but same behavior continues - maybe a new list of errors; maybe none and it completes successfully. Sometimes it takes multiple re-runs of ./build.sh to get the ISO out.
I have also tried to remove the work directory and start from scratch, but yeah - same stuff, sometimes it's completing, sometimes erroring out.
What could be the cause of it?

Some time and updates later (now), the problem still continues. No clues? This time, though, I haven't got my ISO out after about 30 reruns of ./build.sh - haven't deleted work/ either.
