How to build dual iso image with archiso

When creating custom distro:

build.sh -v build dual netinstall

I'm getting this:
ERROR: i686 or x86_64 builds does not exist.

And I can't find anything appropriate in the readme

Re: How to build dual iso image with archiso

Firstly, the netinstall/core cmd-args isn't used anymore, as only netinstall is built...

Second, I don't know why this won't work:

sudo ./build.sh build dual

But if you have the patience to wait alittle extra, then the following works, although it also makes redundant i686/x86_64 builds in addition to the wanted dual one:

sudo ./build.sh build all

Re: How to build dual iso image with archiso

Right , dual iso needs build both i686 and x86_64.

"dual" mode now can be considered as "internal mode" now, they exist before "all" (newer when I rewrote to be independent from mkarchroot)

There is a plan to remove "single" support, so only "dual" iso will be generated, this implies that "releng" profile can be use only under x86_64. -> I am not much happy with this, but the code is looking good...

Thanks for the explenation!

Also thanks for the headsup on single becomming removed; I always makes single's when I generate my personal x86_64 releng-iso, but oh well...
