archiso and AUR?

does anyone has an idea how could I include AUR packages in a Archiso-made livecd?

have you seen the tip in the packages.list section in the archiso wiki?

Tip: You can also create a custom local repository for the purpose of preparing custom packages or packages from AUR/ABS. Just add your local repository at the first position (for top priority) of your build machine's pacman.conf and you are good to go!

i haven't tried it myself, but that might be what you're looking for.

Ive been thinking of doing something similar. I want to make an arch livecd with accessibility support for a blind friend of mine. I was thinking I could get on his pc, setup arch the way he wants it, and then make an image of the whole deal as a bootable iso. From there I would have to make some install scripts. I found this forum which explains how to use another method with a few programs; I haven't verified that everything claimed there will work but it seems plausible.

SOLVED!

the solution was to build a custom repo with all the AUR packages in it ( including dependecies)

you just store the files (pkg-tar.gz stuff) in a specific directory, and use the repo-add script

this lets you build your own repo, you just have to include it in your pacman.conf

works great ( I've tried it with clamtk and ophcrack from AUR, it works fine... )

so again, ARCH IS GREAT!

I did the same thing but it doesn't work for me when setting up the iso for both architectures
first run for i686 works fine but then in the x86_64 run it complains about i686 packages not fitting with the architecture

error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)

i know the thread is old as hell, but it fitted completely
