archiso

Hello,
I cannot find a way to instuct mkarchiso to delete some files from my work directory, after it has installed all packages, but before it generates the iso.

Is there any way?

Re: archiso

The idea for mkarchiso seems to be to start with an empty work directory.

Why are you starting with files in the work directory and what is their purpose ?

No, I'm not starting with files in the work directory. After the work directory is populated, and before the iso is produced, I need to delete some files.

Re: archiso

This is beginning to sound like an x-y problem.

Please explain what creates those files and why you want to delete them.

Re: archiso

Ok. I use panther-launcher-git, which works on X11 but not on Wayland, because of a bad configuration file. To make it work, I have to delete one file.

I don't really want to create my own version of the package. I thought there could be a way in archiso, after you install the packages in the work dir, to do some "rework".
