Hello,
This is a PR to support for the Arch Linux scripts
pacstrap
andarch-chroot
that are helpers scripts used to create an Arch Linux rootfs. These scripts are available here. Thepacstrap
is the Arch Linux variant fordebootstrap
.An Arch Linux rootfs is typically generated using the command below:
Note: For some reason related to GPG that I am not yet able to fix yet (help is needed, I cannot provide the error), both commands
pacman-key
must be run in the same shell (i.e.fakeroot -- fakechroot -- arch-chroot rootfs pacman-key --init; fakeroot -- fakechroot -- arch-chroot rootfs pacman-key --populate archlinux
does not work, the latter command fails).Also, the environment scripts do not work out of the box after
make install

at the time of writing that PR]. I preferred to submit scripts that are coherents with the ones that exist already to remain consistent with the project.Instead of
What do you think?
