Hi, I'm just a passerby Arch Linux TU. I can attest that this package is useful, in particular to bootstrap reproducers for arch linux. I could be wrong, but it's also used by archlinux-repro[1]. Needless to say, I can't vouch more for its usability within OS. Cheers! -Santiago [1] https://github.com/archlinux/archlinux-repro/ On Wed, Jan 05, 2022 at 09:32:38PM -0000, dziobian wrote:

Hi,

I intend to submit the following package to Factory:

These scripts are familiar to anyone who has ever installed Arch Linux, but are distro-independent and can prove useful when doing a manual installation (`zypper --root /mnt`), or recovery of a non-booting system.

As a testimonial to this package's usefulness, the first Google result for `arch-install-scripts` for me is not any page on the Arch website, but the Debian package catalog where it is described as “useful for debootstrapping a Debian-based system”.

The included scripts are:

* genfstab — Generates `etc/fstab` based on the running system's mounts. * arch-chroot — Chroot wrapper with automatic bind mount setup and teardown. Can be used in a pinch as a poor man's docker substitute.
