Announcing minibase 29 January 2018, 18:19:06 It's a project I'm working on and I think it may be interesting for the Artix folks.https://github.com/arsv/minibaseBootable images for qemu:https://github.com/arsv/minibase-br/releases/download/2018-01-29/sys-1-plain.tar.xz (18MB)https://github.com/arsv/minibase-br/releases/download/2018-01-29/sys-2-crypt.tar (64MB, encrypted rootfs)Staged init similar to s6, proper service supervisor, and lightweight alternatives for (e)logind / (e)udevd.The logind-like tool, vtmux, is not a drop-in replacement, it's a completely different design, but it runs non-privileged X and does KMS VT switching just like logind. Doesn't need dbus either, however Xorg must be patched so support non-dbus device access protocol.Current images are built on buildroot/musl, nothing Arch- or Artix-based yet though it should be doable at this point.
Re: Announcing minibase Reply #1 – 29 January 2018, 21:51:04 You're hired. The aim of minibase is not currently within our scope ATM, but if you could invest some time to create packages for Artix, I'm sure there will be some people that would use them; perhaps with an unofficial repo to begin with.
Re: Announcing minibase Reply #2 – 31 January 2018, 16:51:58 Ok so I got Artix booting with minibase.No pre-built images, it's over 1GB even with a very modest set of packages. But the build script should work reasonably fast, compared to Buildroot at least. I did not try to configure it much, and did not bother cutting bad dependencies so it does install elogind even though it's not used.https://github.com/arsv/minibase-artixPKGBUILD for minibase is in build/minibase. Not much to look at really.I'll probably tag 0.6.2 soon and those patches will be gone. 1 Likes
