Details

Summary

New to this version is the archlinux FLAVOR to manage an Arch Linux userland for the Linuxulator. It installs into/manages /compat/archlinux to not conflict with the linux-c7 ports, similar to sysutils/debootstrap.

While here, take MAINTAINER.

Test Plan

Been dogfooding, but would like more testing. For some reason the archlinux-specific pkg-message does not appear as intended, only the default one.

There is a plist conflict with shells/bash-completion; their makepkg refers to the Slackware program of the same name.

Nice, thanks for working on it :-) Wanna team up on updating the Handbook chapter?

I'm planning on writing up something as a blog post and a wiki page outlining the basic setup, which may be handbook material later. I haven't been able to test too much functionality apart from the basics, not least since I have never been able to get network access working even with the linux-c7 userland.

Perfect. There's not much that's needed: literally a single sentence for the linux(4) man page, and perhaps a paragraph for the Handbook. It's more about pointing users at the package than explaining everything in details.

I'm curious about the networking problem. Can you try with eg Linux git(1) binary? If it doesn't work, what does Linux strace(1) say about it?
