Can sshfs be included in the install image ?

I recently installed Arch on a new laptop, and sshfs proved to be very helpful in mounting the package cache of my desktop over there.
I think this suits the use case of a lot of Arch users installing arch on a virtual machine or another machine.
I'd like it to be included in the official image, because it is only only a few kilobytes in size.

If there is a better way to instantly share the package cache, I'd like to hear about it.
(I could set up a local repository, but that seems like a lot of work.)

Re: Can sshfs be included in the install image ?

you should create a feature request for that in the bugtracker.

a workaround would be to install it.
after you got networking up in the live environment, you can use pacman to install anything in the repos.


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Yes, that is what I did....after getting confused a little.
As zsh has some sort of completion for sshfs built in and it wouldn't tell me directly that sshfs was not found.

I think it was partially an RFC:

I sometimes first post on the forums to get feedback and only later send e-mail to the ML or open a bug report.

Bump.
I don't see any feature request or discussion on the ML. Did I miss it?

It depends on fuse and glib2 and neither of them is currently on the iso: https://projects.archlinux.org/archiso. … kages.both
