New features:
.py
support for profiles, meaning.json
and.py
support for profiles such asdesktop
is now supported.- Correctly identifies btrfs and installs the tools and runs
mkinitcpio
to package a working bootloader - Added some new
Installer()
helper functions:set_locale
,set_hostname
,genfstab
-add_bootloader
no longer takes a partition either, as it has to be given earlier in the stages for mounting to make reason.
Minor changes/fixes:
- cache directory is no longer
~/archinstall
, it's now~/.cache/archinstall
to not confuse the importer of Python. - Cleaned up the
guided.py
example, to first ask for user input, then proceed to installation. Also added a little warning before wiping. - Corrected some confusion in
PARTUUID
vsUUID
- Fixed
sys_command
sincewhich
stopped working, now usesos.environ['PATH']
to find binaries. - Added symlinks to
./examples
and./profiles
to trick/get setuptools to import the data correctly, since this issue is a huge pain in the ass. - Fixed the correct order of mounting
/boot
vs callingbootctl --path=/boot install
, we were installing bootloader before the/boot
mount was there.
Pre-built binary
archinstall-v2.0.3-1-x86_64.tar.gz
is built using nuitka3 --standalone archinstall
and simply contain the .dist
folder from that result as well as the ./examples
. Can be executed as is - or packaged with PKGBUILD
to produce archinstall-v2.0.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
which is also included here. Steps to reproduce can also be done by running make.sh.
