17:44:40 < r00t^2> WarheadsSE: that reminds me, did you see that revival of AIF i wrote? acts more like kickstart than the original AIF

17:46:20 < r00t^2> there's a config generator too, it's not documented there but it is at... sec

18:02:33 < tyzoid> root^2: Does aif-ng work with the default arch iso?
18:02:38 < tyzoid> Or is it a special iso?
18:03:33 < r00t^2> tyzoid: per the docs, no - it's still in testing stage; i need more feedback. once i've got a bit more input i'll be proposing it for inclusion
18:03:53 < r00t^2> there's a pre-build ISO available, but you'll probably want to change the boot params to point to your own aif.xml
18:04:36 < r00t^2> or you can cook your own ISO; the full manual has instructions
18:04:54 < tyzoid> I'm thinking of it as a possibility for doing automatic build testing for arch32
18:05:04 < tyzoid> so we have our own facilities for iso building
18:05:08 < tyzoid> which isn't too big a problem
18:05:13 < r00t^2> could definitely do that, yeah
18:05:44 < r00t^2> you could even probably get it to build in a qcow2 image so you could test with libvirt/kvm or something
18:06:04 < tyzoid> I was thinking of using virtualbox
18:06:10 < tyzoid> but that might work too
18:06:31 < tyzoid> mostly because I don't have much experience with virtualization outside of vbox
18:06:31 < r00t^2> yeah, vbox, same thing, different process- just manually create the vbox disk image and mount it in one of the pre hooks
18:07:14 < tyzoid> root^2, have you seen the arch32 forum?
18:07:19 < tyzoid> https://bbs.archlinux32.org/
18:07:22 < r00t^2> not yet
18:07:35 < tyzoid> we have a thread over there looking at solutions for automated testing
18:08:09 < r00t^2> oh nice- will register and suggest if you can find a link to the thread
18:08:28 < tyzoid> lol, it's the only thread on the forum right now
18:08:30 < tyzoid> https://bbs.archlinux32.org/viewtopic.php?pid=6#p6
18:09:10 < rewbycraft> I want to point out that I've already got a libvirt/kvm based virtualization cluster
18:09:51 < rewbycraft> So if need be, I can just give a hookup to my cluster to let you boot whatever qcow2 image you need
