[01:29:18] <bschnei> strit: what device do you have? Unfortunately ARM land is a real mess when it comes to bootloaders and kernels.
[01:31:30] <bschnei> nl6720: I used bootstrap tarballs made from your branch of archiso to successfully bootstrap a Hetzner cloud VM from its very limited recovery mode.
[01:32:25] <bschnei> It ships with an older systemd so arch-chroot -S would not work which means bootctl install will not set efivars and they have to be set manually with efibootmgr.

[03:39:15] <NoaHimesaka18733> Would it be possible to switch to those DrZee-hosted packages from existing ALARM install? I could do a clean install but that'd be extra hassle.
[03:41:02] <NoaHimesaka18733> and I can't see the address to the repo (IRC doesn't have backfilling chat history so...), can anyone type it out for me?

[04:58:35] <bschnei> Server = https://arch-linux-repo.drzee.net
[05:01:21] <bschnei> Yes, if you want to reinstall everything after switching the repo servers you can do so using the directions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org
[05:01:22] <phrik> Title: pacman - ArchWiki (at wiki.archlinux.org)
[05:05:24] <bschnei> I would be careful reinstalling/changing kernel packages. We have a generic "linux" kernel package but I wouldn't expect it to work on most real (non-virtual) devices. Same caution applies to packages "linked" to specific kernel builds (e.g. DKMS).
[05:21:28] <NoaHimesaka18733> I have to use Asahi ALARM repo for kernel/hw enablement anyways so gotta see if it will work or not
[05:22:22] <NoaHimesaka18733> Thanks for your help!
[05:22:28] <NoaHimesaka18733> Will return with results
[06:41:56] <strit|M> <bschnei> "strit: what device do you have..." <- I have meny different devices I could test on, like Odroid N2, C2, Raspberry Pi 4, RockPro64 etc. A couple of them run some UEFI-ish firmware/bootloader I believe. It's been a few years since I've booted them. 😛

[08:43:00] <Solskogen> NoaHimesaka18733: we do ship a kernel for rpi5 if that's the device you've got

[11:06:24] <NoaHimesaka18733> Solskogen: I'm using MacBook Air M2 btw, that's why I mentioned Asahi ALARM above.
[11:07:07] <NoaHimesaka18733> Gotta see if packages in Asahi ALARM repo will work fine with new drzee packages

[14:00:57] <NoaHimesaka18733> Hmm now PGP key is causing me problem, which keyserver has the key 0CF25682E6BA0751 uploaded?
[14:06:45] <DrZee> NoaHimesaka18733: it's not on a key server yet ... it's a dummy key for testing. but it's found here: http://arch-linux-repo.drzee.net .... we have an automated process that signs the packages when the are uploaded to the repo and also rebuilds the repo database files that pacman downloads ... this allows us to upload 100s of packages at once not having to
[14:06:45] <DrZee> worry on race conditions on who can update/edit the DB files and in this process we also generate to the signatures. We want to switch to a more universally trusted public key that is properly cross signed .... but that's WIP ....
[14:12:26] <NoaHimesaka18733> Thanks. Now installing!
[14:23:02] <NoaHimesaka18733> And it works!

[15:40:52] <DrZee> it should ... unless the kernel is very special.
[15:41:37] <wCPO> DrZee: did the AWS outage affect your AWS setup?
[15:42:03] <DrZee> no

[17:30:01] <Solskogen> NoaHimesaka18733: there *might* be some problems with the new llvm/clang - a massive rebuild is in effect.
[17:30:08] <Solskogen> just in case :-)
[17:32:03] <Solskogen> I'm on it, but it might take a few hours

[22:30:13] <bschnei> strit: everything you listed are ARMv8 devices. The packages hosted on drzee.net will not work for those as they are built for v8.2+. Are you interested in trying to bring support to those devices? Or simply running what's built to report issues/work on packages?
