bug: changing mirros within prompt/json of archinstall should not change live-cd /etc/pacman.* files #2379
Comments
I think this fixed the issue #2350 |
@svartkanin nice thanks did a lazy-sync of master to the current archiso via guided mode still overwrites arch-live's /etc/pacman.conf and adds a repo
in guided mode, it ill be beneficial to the user to see a suggestion to overwrite the default repositories; though in my current case; it simply added a duplicate it is therefore still possible for the ending arch-live iso to contain modified pacman files - upon crashing out of archinstaller - and to not be able to re-start archinstaller until the /etc/pacman.conf is manually corrected (with the ensure network error as output) |
The ideal outcome would be to have two options:
None of these options should create new However both of these options should change the And the two should be select:able together, and custom mirror URL's should probably be prioritized as it most likely holds a important role.
I don't think we support this atm, and if we "do" it's most likely a bug. Since it operates differently from the other two options and needs additional questions.
Where pacman would look for And when specifying the If the server admin however does it nicely, they should be doing Either way, I don't think we support this through UI questions. The third option would for sure be very beneficial for, in my case as an example, corporate environments that build in-house applications using |
i think at the moment the guided setup adds the [Repo] to pacman.conf, and latest master also adds it to the mirrorlist file ( i forget if it appends or adds it to the top - i will check again soon(tm) and edit ) ( i would want the added mirrors to the top of the file for prio, or have another option to wipe out existing and add only specified ) |
error'ing behavior:
potential solutions:
a huge improvement: copy the /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/* files to a well-stated-location, then reference them when setting up the system.
the add mirrors-prompt currently should read: add custom repo
core
,extra
,multilib
, ectanother prompt to add mirror (or default mirror replacing /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist )
