Description:

I don't know if is an AIF or archiso bug but you guys should know better.

After selecting the source being CDROM the installer returns that /src/core/pkg doesn't exist. In the previous step I'm informed that /src/core/pkg should mount the packages location

If i create the directory before running /arch/setup, i can go over selection source step but pacman cannot find any packages.

Packages on the iso exists in /repo/any and /repo/pkg
This task depends upon

@AIF: Should be updated. Older location was read-write, and if that location was read-only AIF fails. This location is now read-only. You can still use file:///repo/pkgs as source (using custom mirror)

as soon as the refactor in archiso is done (http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2011-August/001911.html), I can implement this.

archiso is fixed,
now aif should also be fixed:
https://github.com/Dieterbe/aif/commit/c54eff2a3e8b07a9c9f3e396fa7d84f8314ad80d
(note I also did a big refactor of source selection, see https://github.com/Dieterbe/aif/commit/ade00e78d492a05704e082e4861297fa0a10a9f1)
can anyone test with 2011.08.13 or newer?
we should test a few cases:
- selecting core on install cd
- selecting core on install cd and some other repos on remote mirrors
- selecting core on remote mirror

we should also check that $var_TARGET_DIR/var/cache/pacman/pkg is populated with (only) packages fetched from remote repositories

- selecting core local -> works
- selecting core remote -> works, cachedirs ok (all files go into /mnt/var/cache)
- selecting core local and extra/community remote -> works fine, only the packages from remote repos go into /mnt/var/cache.
